Q: Excel Process not closing in VB.net I am creating an excel file using interop.excel and the process is not closing.
This is the code i am trying to use.
 Private Sub converToExcel(fileLoc As String, ds As DataSet)
    Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
    Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
    Dim xlWorkBooks As Excel.Workbooks
    Dim xlWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
    Dim misValue As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim j As Integer

    xlApp = New Excel.Application
    xlWorkBooks = xlApp.Workbooks
    xlWorkBook = xlWorkBooks.Add(misValue)
    xlWorkSheet = xlWorkBook.Sheets("sheet1")

    For i = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
        For j = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
            xlWorkSheet.Columns.NumberFormat = "@"
            xlWorkSheet.Cells(i + 1, j + 1) = String.Format("{0}", ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(j).ToString())
        Next
    Next

    xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(fileLoc)
    xlWorkBook.Close()
    xlApp.Quit()

    releaseObject(xlWorkSheet)
    releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
    releaseObject(xlWorkBooks)
    releaseObject(xlApp)

End Sub
Private Sub releaseObject(ByVal obj As Object)
    Try
        System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
        obj = Nothing
    Catch ex As Exception
        obj = Nothing
    Finally
        GC.Collect()
    End Try
End Sub

I think i am missing a COM object but cant seem to find a solution.
Also as a note, this is running on 64-bit Windows 8.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

A: Manual memory management like this just never works.  This is a problem that's been known for very a long time and the core reason that garbage collectors were invented.  Programmers just forever forget to release memory.
It gets extra hard when you can't see the memory being used.  Which is certainly the case in your code, the xlWorkSheet.Cells(i + 1, j + 1) expression uses no less than three references.  One for the range object returned by the Cells property, one for a sub-range object selected by i+1 and another for the sub-range object selected by j+1.  Very nice syntax sugar provided by the VB.NET language, writing COM code without it is pretty doggone painful.  But not helpful to let you see the references.  Not only can't you see it in your source code, there is absolutely nothing the debugger can do to help you see them either.
This is very much a solved problem in .NET, it has a garbage collector and it can see everything.  The most basic problem is that you don't give it a chance to solve your problem.  The mistake you made is that you stopped.  Probably by setting a breakpoint on the last statement and then looking in Task Manager and seeing Excel.exe still running.  Yes, that's normal.  Garbage collection is not instant.
Calling GC.Collect() is supposed to make it instant, but that doesn't work in the specific case of running the Debug build of your project.  The lifetime of local variables gets then extended to the end of the method, help you see them in the Autos/Locals/Watch window.  In other words, GC.Collect() doesn't actually collect any of the interface references.  More about that behavior in this post.
The simple workaround is to not stop.  Keep doing useful things to give the garbage collector a reason to run.  Or letting your program terminate since it is done, Excel terminates when the finalizer thread runs for the last time. Which works because the local variables that had the references are not in scope anymore.
But everybody wants the instant fix anyway.  You get it by deleting all the releaseObject() calls.  And doing it like this instead:
converToExcel(path, dset)
GC.Collect()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()

Or in other words, force a collection after the method has returned.  The local variables are no longer in scope so they can't hold on to an Excel reference.  It will now also work when you debug it, like it already did when you ran the Release build without a debugger.

A: Try  System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject, that should help... also you should call   xlWorkBook.Close() and xlapp.quit, if I recall correctly. First call them and then set them to nothing.

A: The GC.Collect makes not much sense where you placed it, if anything you should call it after you return from converToExcel. Also you may need to wait for finalizers to run. Personally I think Hans' answer is the way to go, but I know from personal experience writing office addins in C# that sometimes its necessary to do manual reference counting, in particular when you need to be compatible with older office versions. (There are many documented problems, in particular when handling events from office, which can only be reliably solved by manual reference counting. Also some COM libraries don't like at all when released in the wrong order by GC, but thats not the case with office.)
So on to the actual problem in your code: there are three intermediate COM objects not released here:

*

*xlWorkBook.Sheets returns a collection of type Excel.Sheets

*xlWorkSheet.Columns returns a COM object of type Excel.Range

*xlWorkSheet.Cells also returns an Excel.Range object

Besides this, if Marshal.ReleaseComObject throws an exception you did something wrong in your manual reference counting, therefore I wouldn't wrap it in an exception handler. When doing manual reference counting you must release every COM object once for every time it crosses the COM->NET boundary, meaning the Excel.Range objects need to be released in every iteration of the loop.
Here's code which properly terminates Excel for me:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Private Sub converToExcel(fileLoc As String, ds As DataSet)
    Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
    Dim xlWorkBooks As Excel.Workbooks = xlApp.Workbooks
    Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook = xlWorkBooks.Add(System.Reflection.Missing.Value)
    Dim xlWorkSheets As Excel.Sheets = xlWorkBook.Sheets
    ' accessing the sheet by index because name is localized and your code will fail in non-english office versions
    Dim xlWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet = xlWorkSheets(1)

    For i = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
        For j = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
            ' couldn't this be moved outside the loop?
            Dim xlColumns As Excel.Range = xlWorkSheet.Columns
            xlColumns.NumberFormat = "@"
            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlColumns)

            Dim xlCells As Excel.Range = xlWorkSheet.Cells
            xlCells(i + 1, j + 1) = ds.Tables(0).Rows(i).Item(j).ToString()
            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlCells)
        Next
    Next

    xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(fileLoc)
    'xlWorkBook.Close() -- not really necessary
    xlApp.Quit()

    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorkSheet)
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorkSheets)
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorkBook)
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlWorkBooks)
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlApp)
End Sub

If you want to be extra careful you'd want to handle exceptions from the office API and call ReleaseComObject inside finally-clauses. It can be helpful to define a generic wrapper and write using-clauses instead of try-finally (make the wrapper a structure not a class so you don't allocate the wrappers on the heap).

A: Finally solved :)
Private Function useSomeExcel(ByVal Excelfilename As String)
  Dim objExcel As Excel.Application
  Dim objWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
  Dim objWorkSheets As Excel.Worksheet

  Dim datestart As Date = Date.Now
  objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") 'This opens...
  objWorkBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(Excelfilename) ' ... excel process
  Dim dateEnd As Date = Date.Now
  End_Excel_App(datestart, dateEnd) ' This closes excel proces
End Function

use this method
  Private Sub End_Excel_App(datestart As Date, dateEnd As Date)
    Dim xlp() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL")
    For Each Process As Process In xlp
     If Process.StartTime >= datestart And Process.StartTime <= dateEnd Then
       Process.Kill()
       Exit For
     End If
    Next
  End Sub

This method closes especific process opened.

A: 'Get the PID from the wHnd and kill the process.
' open the spreadsheet
ImportFileName = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
excel = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass
wBook = excel.Workbooks.Open(ImportFileName)
hWnd = excel.Hwnd
Dim id As Integer = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, ExcelPID)

Sub CloseExcelFile()
        Try
            ' first try this
            wBook.Saved = True
            wBook.Close()
            excel.Quit()

            ' then this.
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excel)
            excel = Nothing

            ' This appears to be the only way to close excel!
            Dim oProcess As Process
            oProcess = Process.GetProcessById(ExcelPID)
            If oProcess IsNot Nothing Then
                oProcess.Kill()
            End If

        Catch ex As Exception
            excel = Nothing
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
    End Sub

A: I did not see anyone properly address what was occuring and instead, tried to create work arounds for it.
What is happening here is that the workbook is prompting, in the background, to be saved.  In your code, you're saving the worksheet and not the workbook.  You can either trick it and set the saved state of the workbook to true or save the workbook before exiting the excel applicaiton.
I was also having this issue.  The Excel process would run the entire time the application was open.  By adding the xlWorkBook.Saved = True line, the process would end after the call to xlApp.Quit().  In my case, I did not need to save the excel file, only reference it for values.
Option #1 - Do not save the workbook:
xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(fileLoc)
xlWorkBook.Saved = True       ' Add this line here.
'xlWorkBook.Close()           ' This line shouldn't be necessary anymore.
xlApp.Quit()

Option #2 - Save the workbook to a new file:
'xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(fileLoc)  ' Not needed
xlWorkBook.SaveAs(fileLoc)    ' If the file doesn't exist
'xlWorkBook.Close()           ' This line shouldn't be necessary anymore.
xlApp.Quit()

Option #3 - Save the workbook to an existing file:
'xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(fileLoc)  ' Not needed
xlWorkBook.Save(fileLoc)      ' If the file does exist
'xlWorkBook.Close()           ' This line shouldn't be necessary anymore.
xlApp.Quit()

.Quit() Method:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.office.interop.excel._application.quit?view=excel-pia#Microsoft_Office_Interop_Excel__Application_Quit
.Saved() Method:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.office.interop.excel._workbook.saved?view=excel-pia#Microsoft_Office_Interop_Excel__Workbook_Saved

A: It's just as simple as adding this line in your code, just after opening the Workbook:
oExcel.displayalerts = False

A: Although many of the answers here did indeed result in EXCEL.EXE being closed, they either resulted in a prompt from AutoRecover upon manually opening the workbook or required redundant usage of Garbage Collection.
For my purposes, I'm creating workbooks with ClosedXML (because it's significantly faster for what I need) and using Excel Interop to set the workbook password (for reasons I won't get into here); however, Excel Interop doesn't actually close EXCEL.EXE for me when Application.Quit() is called, even after the method has returned and the objects are long out of scope.
Hans' answer beautifully explained how to get Excel to actually quit without forcefully killing the process. Using that explanation, I created a small class to help avoid redundant Garbage Collection calls as I have multiple areas of code that require this functionality.
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Public MustInherit Class ExcelInteropFunction
    Public Shared Sub SetWorkbookPassword(WorkbookPathAndName As String, NewPassword As String)
        SetPassword(WorkbookPathAndName, NewPassword)
        GC.Collect()
        GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
    End Sub

    Private Shared Sub SetPassword(WorkbookPathAndName As String, NewPassword As String)
        Dim xlWorkbook As Workbook = New Application() With {
            .Visible = False,
            .ScreenUpdating = False,
            .DisplayAlerts = False
        }.Workbooks.OpenXML(WorkbookPathAndName)

        xlWorkbook.Password = NewPassword
        xlWorkbook.Save()
        xlWorkbook.Application.Quit()
    End Sub
End Class

The reason the actual work is being done in a private method is to allow the method that the Excel Interop variables are in to return and go fully out of scope before garbage collection is manually triggered. Without it structured this way, I'd have to add GC calls in several areas of code, so this helps avoid some redundancy and ensures I don't forget a GC call after setting a workbook password.

A: Dim xlp() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL")

 For Each Process As Process In xlp
   Process.Kill()
     If Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL").Count = 0 Then
       Exit For
     End If
 Next

Life got the better of Vashti Bunyan after her landmark Just Another Diamond Day was released, to little fanfare, in 1970. Mother of two children, country housewife, caretaker for the friends and lovers and animals that filled her home, she was consumed in what she calls "Lookaftering," the constant round of chores that filled the day-to-day. That term, with its dual meaning of caretaking and nostalgic remembrance, became the title to her second album. She explained in a recent phone interview that Lookaftering, released more than 30 years after her first album, was inspired and even made possible by the unexpected interest in Diamond Day when it was reissued in 2000.
"People wrote some lovely things about Diamond Day," she said. "It made me able to listen to my own voice again, and I hadn't been able to for all those years. It also made me able to play my guitar again, instead of just sticking it back up against the wall."
Bunyan, whose speaking voice is as shy, fragile and kind-sounding as her songs, said that while interest in Diamond Day gave her the courage to begin writing again, she returned not to the pastoral folk topics of that album, but to earlier, more personal material. "They're more like what's inside of me, rather than what's outside of me," she explained.
The folk chanteuse had written Diamond Day's songs on her fabled horse-cart ride through the north of England and to Donovan's utopian compound on the Isle of Skye. She had left behind a promising career, jump-started with a Mick Jagger/Keith Richards-penned single and backed by the Stones' first manager, Andrew Loog Oldham. Yet as a woman and a singer in the late 1960s, she lacked the confidence to follow her own muse.
"When I first met Robert Lewis, who was the person I did the horse journey with, and he wrote some of the lyrics on Diamond Day, I clearly remember him saying, 'Why don't you stop writing all these little love songs and start writing about all the wonderful things that are going on around you?' So I did, and Diamond Day was much more about stories and the world around me and about the dreams that I had about the life we were living," she said.
"But once we'd done that, once we'd got to where we were going and once we started living that life, I no longer needed to write songs about it. Life kind of took over from the music. And also when Diamond Day was released and didn't go anywhere, I kind of gave up on it. I just didn't want to have anything more to do with music."
Fast-forward to the late 1990s, when Bunyan received an email from an unknown singer/songwriter named Devendra Banhart. "Devendra found Diamond Day when he was in Paris, and there was a Web site address and he wrote me an email," said Bunyan. "He told me what a horrible time he was having, and that he didn't know if he should carry on. Could he send me some of his music? And he did. He sent me a package of that and some of his drawings and paintings."
Bunyan knew immediately that she was dealing with a rare talent. "At first it was the drawings that completely enchanted me," she recalled. "I recognized something in them. And then when I put the tapes on, it was so wonderful, so inventive, so new, so alive and in the present and individual and every good word you could say about it. So I wrote back and said, yes. You must carry on. I absolutely love what you're doing. But whatever I said, nothing would have stopped Devendra. He's such a force."
Banhart became a vocal advocate for Bunyan's music, bringing an old vinyl copy of Diamond Day to radio appearances and talking enthusiastically about her whenever he was interviewed. A buzz began building around Bunyan, whose only album at the time, Just Another Diamond Day, was released in the UK in 2000, then in the U.S. in 2004. Adopted by the psyche-folk movement, her album had, without her knowing, become a kind of touchstone for artists as diverse as Banhart, Joanna Newsom and the members of Animal Collective. It received far more favorable publicity the second time around, and for the first time in decades, Bunyan began writing new material.
"The songs I'm writing now are much more like the ones I was writing before Diamond Day, more personal," she said. "And also, there was a whole lifetime's worth of things that happened. I think maybe because I hadn't written... because I hadn't continued to write... I think when I did go back to them, there must have been all this stuff waiting."
Indeed, the songs on Lookaftering, out now on DiCristina, are about intimate, closely felt subjects. In "Here Again" Bunyan sings about her two children, in "Brother" about a sibling who passed away; "Feet of Clay" is a touching tribute to a lover who is, as Bunyan says, "the most wonderful dancer... and I am definitely not." The song, she explained, is "about letting somebody be free, I guess, and not pinning them down."
Much has changed in the intervening years, yet Bunyan has the same, water-pure voice, as fresh and breathy and unaffected as in her younger years. Asked how she maintained her extraordinary voice, she laughed and answered, "Somebody said the other day, 'Well, you know, it's probably still the same because you haven't used it.' After the Diamond Day recording, I hardly ever sang.
"It surprised me as well when I went into the studio that any voice came out of me at all," she continued. "I was so completely unused to singing. I don't know... it is quite strange really, but it is pretty much the same."
Mischievously, she added, "Maybe it's going to change now."
For Lookaftering Bunyan worked with classical/electronic composer and fellow Edinburgh resident Max Richter, whom she described as "the most wonderful, patient, extraordinary musician." Enjoying a great deal more autonomy than in her 1960s and 1970s sessions, Bunyan said, "We never had any sticky moments. He was very, very patient, and even when he didn't agree with me about something, he would wait until I came around to his way of thinking or else he changed his mind, and we just worked together very well."
She added that she and Richter came from radically different backgrounds, he a classically trained graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and she an entirely self-taught musician. "I come from a really totally self-taught background, not knowing what chords are called. So I can't speak his language, but he was able to pick up what I meant in the most extraordinary way. I think maybe because we were so different, it really worked. It made the music... that we were both coming to it so fresh, from different directions. I think it added another layer."
Bunyan had purchased some composing and recording software with the royalties from the re-release of Diamond Day, teaching herself to recreate the layered, orchestral sounds that she heard in her head. "I brought those arrangements to Max and he was very faithful to my original arrangements, some of the first songs I wrote, and then he wrote the string parts to some of the songs," she said.
She added that he allowed her a great deal more creative control than she'd had on Diamond Day. For instance, she said, she felt that the songs needed to be orchestrated with no bass and no drums, since they mostly followed an organic, unstructured pace rather than a steady beat. "It took him a while to get used to that idea, but then he really understood what I meant and took all the bass off, and didn't mind. He wasn't upset," she said.
Lookaftering draws from some of the psyche-folk movement's brightest lights, with Banhart and Kevin Barnes (Currituck County) playing guitars on one song, Joanna Newsom adding harp to two, and appearances by members of Espers and Adem. Bunyan said she sees lots of commonality between their work and hers. "I think what they're doing is what I so wanted around me when I was doing Diamond Day," she ventured. "When I was in that world myself, I was very much alone back then. And they just seem to understand what I was trying to do then. I don't think it's what I'm trying to do now. But I love to see them and to hear what they're doing and to feel that they're taking it on into a whole new realm."
One of Bunyan's most striking collaborations occurs not on her own album, but on Animal Collective's Prospect Hummer EP, also out now on Fat Cat. Here her ethereal voice weaves in and among the Brooklyn foursome's trademark strummings and wordless vocals, creating a haunting and very moving combination of both these artists' strengths. Bunyan met Animal Collective through Four Tet's Kieran Hebden, who had played guitar at her Royal Albert Hall concert and was touring with the band in Europe.
On a stop in Scotland, Bunyan, Hebden and Animal Collective all went out to dinner, and Hebden said, "You know, all these guys have your album." "This was before Diamond Day came out again," Bunyan said . "I just couldn't believe it that people from Brooklyn would have my album. I was just astonished that anyone could know about it, and I still, even now, I find it hard to believe that anybody has ever heard of it. Because it was buried in my life for so many years."
Three days on a subsequent European tour were set aside to record, and Bunyan met the band at the studio. "I thought I was going to be doing sort of backing vocals, you know. They very gently pushed me further and further towards the front," she said. "I think it was a very special thing, and I don't think that we'll ever do anything again, but it was... it was like smoke out of a bottle. Its own thing that happened in that time, and never to be repeated."
Currently Bunyan is planning a few U.S. dates for the end of the year, and, with an eye towards shortening the gap between albums to something less than 30 years, writing some new songs. For confirmed dates, check her Web site — Jennifer Kelly [Monday, October 17, 2005]

red jacket mine & friends
by thenorthline in mix tape, red jacket mine Tags: red jacket mine & friends
come and get your love was kindly donated by lincoln barr of the highly recommended RED JACKET MINE and his fellow friends . this compilation is awesome with bands appearing kindly like down pilot who's last two albums just blew me away . and the clever visqueen who certainly can blast out a quality song . i cant really say enough about this other than try it you will love it .
FRIENDS OF RED JACKET MINE
1. Hand Me Down – Visqueen
Led by the fabulous Ms. Rachel Flotard (whose lovely pipes you might've heard backing Ms. Neko Case), Seattle rockers Visqueen have released one of 2009's finest records in Message to Garcia. This track opens the album, and Ms. Case returns the favor on backing vocals. Thunderous, thrilling pop music.
http://www.visqueenonline.com
2. Racing Stripe Winter – Red Heart the Ticker
When I first heard this song on KEXP in the fall of 2006, I thought to myself, "I need to know these people." Three years later, it's still one of my favorites. Ty Gibbons and Robin MacArthur are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet, and absolutely enchanting in a live setting. They've since released another fine album, 2009's Oh My! Mountains Below.
http://rhtt.net
3. Turnaround This Car – The Devil Whale
The mayors of Salt Lake City, Utah, and some of our best friends in music. Brinton Jones has the kind of voice that you can't help feeling is singing directly to you, and I can't think of a higher compliment. We love these guys, and you should, too.
http://www.myspace.com/devilwhale
4. Too Early – Cobirds Unite
Rusty Willougby (née Llama, Flop, Pure Joy) is one of my favorite songwriters in a city full of great ones, and his talents commingle with those of the aforementioned Ms. Flotard (Visqueen) and Mr. Barrett Martin (of Screaming Trees/Tuatara renown) to form Cobirds Unite. Rumor has it that an entire album's worth of these supple, lovely recordings exists…in the meantime, check out rustywilloughby.com to indulge.
http://www.rustywilloughby.com
5. Chelsea Turnaround – Downpilot
Paul Hiraga and the rest of Downpilot have been dear friends for ages, and we recently shared a record release party (for our new one, Lovers Lookout, and theirs, They Kind of Shine). Out now on Germany's Tapete Records.
http://www.downpilot.com
6. Let You Down – Burning Rivers
My friends Ben London and Joshua Medaris lead Burning Rivers, a band in which I'm honored to fill the 'Steve Gaines' (read: third guitar) role as time permits. They've been in other, better-known, bands, of course, but all you really need to know is that Burning Rivers is American rock and roll of the highest order. This track is from their forthcoming debut LP, The Hardest Part of Letting Go.
http://www.myspace.com/burningrivers
7. This World (Already Over) – Nathan Wade & the Dark Pioneers
Nathan Wade is a man of extraordinary cojones, bucking against indie-rock fashion to pursue a singular vision he bleakly describes as 'post-apocalypse Americana.' This track, while brilliant, is hardly indicative of the freewheeling breadth of the Dark Pioneers' forthcoming debut full-length, The Gospel of Rust. It does, however, feature Patrick Porter (of RJM) on pedal steel, and yours truly on Morricone lead guitar. You'll have to discover the rest for yourself.
http://www.nathanwademusic.com
8. Milo – Amateur Radio Operator
Some of RJM's earliest Seattle shows were shared with Mark Johnson and his band, Amateur Radio Operator. This song (from their debut album, Sirens of Titan) has always been one of my favorites of theirs. Epic, atmospheric Americana.
http://www.myspace.com/amateurradio
9. Silver Spoon – Ben Brackett
Wunderkind Ben Brackett released an absolutely stellar debut record in 2007's Hear Ye Hear Ye, and I hear he's working on a new one, sure to humble songwriters twice his age (again). Rest assured I'll be listening.
http://www.myspace.com/benjaminbrackett
10. Out of Town – Explone
Full disclosure: Explone is led by my good friend Patrick Porter, who also plays guitar and pedal steel in RJM. Fans of the brilliant melodicism present in his RJM contributions will find much to love here. This lovely road song is featured on his debut album, Crooks.
http://www.explone.com
11. Thirty Reasons – Octoberman
Octoberman is a cross-Canadian indie/folk troupe led by my longtime pal Marc Morrisette: road warrior, gentleman, and scholar. This lovely ditty is from their most recent album, Fortresses, out now on White Whale Records.
http://octoberman.ca
12 . showponies – red jacket mine
lincoln and the boys of red jacket mine sure know how to write a song showponies is an awesome piece of writing . lovers look out while be looked at in years to come as a classic

deep dark woods mixtape – top ten songs for a sunday morning
by thenorthline in deep dark woods, mix tape
deep dark woods has kindly given the northline a top 10 song for a sunday morning . some of these songs were hard to find but we managed to find them all . deep dark woods are embarking on a canadian tour this winter so go cathem if they are out your way .
1. The Stanley Brothers- Rank Strangers
An Old hymn written by one of the greatest hymn writers of all time Albert Brumley. Ralph and Carter Stanley harmonize like brothers should, it makes you ache, especially if you haven't been to church in a while.
2. Bill Monroe and His Bluegrass Boys- Little Community Church
Another beauty in the harmony department. It aches and pains me to listen to this one. One of Bill Monroe's finest moments.
3. Bob Dylan- When He Returns
A real gem that people seem to forget about, just Bob Dylan and his piano from the wonderful gospel record "Slow Train Coming". You can really hear that Dylan is on fire on this recording.
4. Five Blind Boys Of Alabama- I Can See Everybody's Mother
I real beauty from 1964, this great band has been performing together since 1948 forming at Talladega Blind School in Alabama. This is one of those rare tracks that can bring a man to his knees and thank the good Lord for this wonderful music.
5. Al Green- Jesus Is Waiting
From Al Green's Call Me album, one of his best. This track is by far the best tune on the album, beautiful strings and soulful singing by Mr. Green.
6. Elvis Presley- Milky White Way
Off of Elvis' best gospel record "His Hand In Mine". Really nice backing vocals by the Jordanaires. Showing that Elvis still had some great performances left in the old tank back in 1960. A lot of people say that Elvis started to suck after he left Sun Records. Well let me tell you, Elvis' album from 1956-1960 are all fantastic.
7. Flatt and Scruggs- Take Me In A Lifeboat
A great early track by one of greatest bluegrass bands of all time. It's a nice fast one that can make you a really happy person on a lonesome Sunday morning.
8. Johnny Cash- Lead Me Gently Home
From 1958, a real beauty from one of the greatest gospel country singers of all time. It comes from the album "Hymns". It's a very short album, but very good.
9. Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers- Steal Away
Before Sam Cooke went pop he led a wonderful gospel group the Soul Stirrers. They have a lot of great tunes, but "Steal Away" is one of the best.
10. The Staple Singers- Let Me Ride
Old Pops really shows his guitar skills on this one. Parliament/Funkadelic later did a nice cover of this tune, but there ain't nothing better than the Staples version of this old black gospel hymn.
http://www.mediafire.com/?gduxgyne2tz
Top 10 Songs to Listen to on a Monday:
1. Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance- G'morning
I love the work he has done with the Faces/Small Faces, but his solo
stuff is some of his greatest work. This song has a great melody. In a
perfect world, I would feel like this song in the morning. It's a
really fun song to play, too.
2. Son Volt – Windfall
One of my favorite Son Volt songs. The first time I heard this, I was
at my friend Steve Hansens house. It was about 5:00 in the morning,
after playing a house party in his backyard in San Diego. You can
imagine how good it sounded at that point. Sleepy country, my
3. Marty Stuart- Homesick
Nothing gets me going in the morning like some nice bluegrass vocals,
and this is about as good as you can get. It's a live performance, and
Marty is about one of the finest showman there is.
4. Mike Stinson- When My Angel Gets High
Mike Stinson is one my favorite local songwriters. His vocals are
almost eerie at times, almost like a controlled Roky Erikson. I really
dig the stuff he does with a full band, but I think it's nice to hear
a stripped down version of his songs, as well. I hear he moved to
Houston. I really hope he moves back.
5. Ramblin' Jack Elliot (w/ Emmylou Harris and Nancy Griffith)- Rex's Blues
You take one of Townes' greatest songs, mix it with these characters,
and your bound to hear something amazing. Such a great combination of
voices. I met Ramblin' Jack when he was walking around UCLA after a
show he played there. He was opening random doors and when the usher
asked him what he was doing he said "I'm looking for Merle."…Got to
6. Roky Erickson- Please Judge
I can't mention Roky Erickson without adding one of his songs (see
song 4). I love the simplicity of his songs, yet they always seem so
powerful. Also, I have to go to court on Tuesday, the day after the
Echo show, and I'm hoping the judge is lenient. We have had a lot of
issues with the law lately. We had one chasin' Brad up the studio
stairs–with gun drawn–just the other day. Needless to say, he caught
him. The good thing is that I got to watch the whole thing go down.
Cops = 6, Paperplanes = 0.
7. Waylon Jennings- All Around Cowboy (Bonus Track off Dreaming my Dreams)
"He remembers the thrill about being a winner…" When you are in your
car doing karaoke, that is about the best line in a song to sing. I
love the way Waylon produced his records, there is such a loneliness
in his vocals and the production. Waylons vocals are about one of the
best thing an ear can hear.
8. Flatlanders- One Day at a Time
I just got this record, and this song struck me immediately. Joe Ely
sounds great on his parts and Jimmy Dale Gilmore exploits the
uniqueness of his voice to really push this song in a beautiful way.
When they hit the second line in the chorus, it creates that tone
that, makes you say, "oh, man, that's nice…" This is a great song to
hear when you are wasted, as well.
9. Terry Allen- The Beautiful Waitress
Now I can't talk about Lubbock songwriters without mentioning Terry Allen.
'Lubbock (on Everything)' and 'Juarez' are 2 records that really
changed the way I think about songwriting. Basically, after hearing
these records, I realized that I was a horrible songwriter. Its hard
to put just one of his songs on, so I put this song on and hope you
buy the album to hear the entire record. Although the corny-ness of
these lyrics might throw you off at first, if you think about it,
there's nothing corny about it at all. Everything is a story for him,
and I think the spoken word bit is classic Terry Allen. He's weird,
and his music is beautiful. Richard Bowden plays an amazing fiddle,
10. Whiskey Biscuit- TV Remote Control
Whiskey Biscuit is one of my favorite LA bands. I've been a long time
fan of Jeff Cairns' guitar playing, and this is one of my favorite
songs. Lazy country-rock with weird noises, that is the best music.

Daimler Benz announce new programme of floorplan architecture for its next generation of all electric cars
In a move which accelerates the demise of diesel and petrol engines, Daimler Benz has announced that it is to unveil its new programme of floorplan architecture for its next generation of all electric cars.
EVs don't have engines, fuel tanks, drivetrains or trans-axles. None of the stuff which, in fact, takes up all the space in old fashioned ICE cars. So the base structure for an EV needs to be very different, allowing a very flat floor, and much more space for passengers and all their stuff.
Bold claims are being made for this new generation of electric Benzes, including 300 miles of range and rapid charging. They also claim to be "…heralding a new era of E-mobility.." which sounds a little bit grandiose and suggests that no-one at Daimler has seen what Tesla has been up to.
Read all about Daimlers' electric dreams here.

Sebastian Bach is a singer, songwriter and actor hailing from Ontario, Canada who was born on April 3rd, 1968. Best known as the lead singer of Skid Row, he has also released three solo albums and appeared as an actor in everything from Robot Chicken to Jesus Christ Superstar.
Born Sebastian Bierk and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, Sebastian Bach's music career began at the tender age of 14 when he joined a local hard rock band by the name of Kid Wikkid in 1983. However, that band would only last until 1985, and after they split Bierk began singing wherever he could, and in 1987, that took him to rock photographer Mark Weiss's wedding. Also attending the wedding were members of the New Jersey glam metal band Skid Row, whose singer had recently left the band. They were all impressed with the 18 year old up on stage, and shortly after the wedding, they asked Bach to join the band, which he gladly accepted. Skid Row went on to become the last truly enormous glam metal band before grunge arrived and shut it all down, with their self-titled debut album going five times Platinum within months of its release.
Of course, Skid Row wouldn't have been a true glam metal band without inner tension and pettiness, and it all came to a head in 1996, when Bach booked a show for the band opening for KISS. The other band members resented this, claiming that the band were too big to open for anyone, and the resulting arguments lead to Bach leaving the band in the same year. Ever since then, Bach has succeeded in everything he's tried his hand at, from his solo career which began in 1999, a Broadway career which began a year later in the title role of Jekyll And Hyde and a screen acting career that's seen him show up in everything from The Trailer Park Boys to Spongebob Squarepants. He's one of heavy metal's great survivors, and thirty years after his first foray into rock music, he still comes highly recommended.

Q: Can I make marquees stop scrolling, in my browser? While rare these days, some websites, annoyingly, use marquees  (<marquee>...</marquee>) - pieces of HTML content scrolling across my browser viewport. This is annoying and distracting.
Is there something I can do to make them stop? I'm using Mozilla Firefox, but answers about Chrome(ium) are also useful.
Bonus points if you can help  me stop a marquee nested within another marquee.

If you write a custom userstyle (using Stylish or Stylus, for example) that is active on all websites, then that should work!


I often feel inspired by the looks worn by college students in the 1940s. It really appeals to me as a casual style of dressing which nonetheless still looks groomed and not sloppy. I often think that casual vintage looks are harder in some ways to put together than dressier looks (frock, hat, heels) but such casual looks allow me to still look very vintage or classic but avoid the elements that people often think look costumey.
"It is a world of sweaters and skirts and bobby sox and loafers, of hair worn long, of eye-glass rims painted red with nail polish, of high school boys no yet gone to war."
I'd like my life to look like that as well - at least as far as my wardrobe goes - even if I'm not technically a teenager any more.
I love the color pallette you're working with here. Great not quite but almost spring look.
I don't mind era mixing - depends what mood I'm in. I do find that the casual looks sometimes require more thought than dressier looks though!
Beautiful outfit - you wear classic camel so tremendously well.
I may be almost 40, but have gotten up the nerve and am now a college student again. I've been spending a lot of time trying to put together a wardrobe that is not so fancy and 'costumy' but still adheres to my love of vintage style. The 1940's college student look has been right up my alley. I may not be your typical 40's college student, but I am a college student almost in my 40's, so I figure it's close enough. Great inspiration, it's so perfect for me right now.
First of all, congratulations and I wish you the best of luck with your new college course! I'm not a college student - I've recently finished my Masters degree - but these styles are so timeless and flattering, not to mention comfortable and easy to wear, that I'm in favour of them not being exclusive to college girls!

Segismundo Bermejo y Merelo (San Fernando, 9 de marzo de 1833-Madrid, 2 de diciembre de 1899) fue un marino de guerra y político español, ministro de Marina entre 1897 y 1898, durante la guerra hispano-estadounidense.

Biografía
Nacido en la ciudad de San Fernando el 9 de marzo de 1833, Se trataba de un hombre que hablaba distintos idiomas y que ejerció como escritor, con obras en su haber como la novela de ciencia ficción El doctor Juan Pérez o Faï, escrita en alemán. Entre el 22 de octubre de 1896 y el 1 de abril de 1897 ocupó la jefatura del Estado Mayor Central de la Armada y, el 4 de octubre de 1897, fue nombrado ministro de Marina. Bajo su mandato se produjo el desastre naval de Cavite, tras lo cual fue sustituido por Ramón Auñón y Villalón, en mayo de 1898. Cesó como ministro el 18 de mayo de 1898, siendo sustuituido por Ramón Auñón y Villalón. Estuvo en contra de la vuelta de Valeriano Weyler a España, pues creyó que de haber permanecido este en Cuba se podría haber evitado la independencia de la colonia española. Se consideró que tuvo una perspectiva demasiado optimista o poco realista respecto de las posibilidades de España en un enfrentamiento contra los Estados Unidos en el conflicto del 98.

Poseía la gran cruz de la Orden de San Hermenegildo, la cruz de la Orden del Mérito Naval, la cruz de la Orden de Isabel la Católica, la cruz de la Orden de Carlos III y la Real de Prusia. Murió el 2 de diciembre de 1899 en Madrid, de madrugada, y fue enterrado al día siguiente en el cementerio de San Justo. Fue senador por la provincia de Murcia en 1898-1899.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is one of Mexico's most important holidays. Coinciding with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day but dating back to pre-Columbian times, the celebration honors the memories of deceased friends and relatives. On November 1 and 2 of each year, Mexican families travel to cemeteries to clean and decorate graves; build elaborate altars containing a dearly departed's favorite foods and drinks; and even get tattoos of the deceased. This year, the Houston Symphony is getting in on the act with La Triste Historia (The Sad Story), a Day of the Dead–inspired multimedia concert, which the Symphony hopes will draw new audiences to Jones Hall. See full story here.

Romantic Trailblazers: Johannes, Clara, and Robert
The Schumanns were classical music's original power couple: Robert was a brilliant composer and critic, while his wife Clara, a child prodigy on the piano, became a celebrated composer and performer in her own right. The young Johannes Brahms met the couple when he was 20, an encounter that changed his life. This concert features works by all three Romantic composers performed on period instruments, including an 1820s fortepiano.

With their leather jackets, scruffy good looks, and black cellos, Croatian musicians Luka Šulic and Stjepan Hauser are the new rock stars of classical music. They've performed with Elton John and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and gone viral on YouTube with their version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." Their second album, IN2ITION, released last January, includes collaborations with Steve Vai, Lang Lang, and Zucchero.

Directed by Austin-based indie favorite Andrew Bujalski (Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation), this black-and-white film is set during a weekend tournament for chess software programmers in the 1980s. Years before IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov, Bujalski's engineers struggle to teach their computers how to mimic a human player, laying the groundwork for modern artificial intelligence. Bujalski will answer questions after Saturday's screenings.

Veronica's Room (Last weekend!)
Veronica's Room can be interpreted as a straight-up thriller, merely a clever piece of entertainment. But astute viewers have long noticed another side to Levin's fantasies. Just as Rosemary's Baby can be read as a work about social anxieties surrounding childbirth, and The Stepford Wives as a satire on suburban women controlled by their husbands, Veronica's Room touches on serious themes of mental illness, domestic violence, and sexual perversity.

13 July - 03 October 2010. "Colourful Gods" shatters the myth that ancient cities and temples consisted of acres of white marble and unadorned living spaces. The reality was quite the opposite: these temples and forums were places of strong colours.
In comparison to modern day interior design with its often minimalist, subtle hues enlivened with the occasional splash of colour, designers in ancient times painted both the interior and exterior with wildly bright colours; such was their enthusiasm they even painted over sculptures.
The Pergamonmuseum, thanks to modern technology, has literally been able to peel back the layers of paint and plaster, and glimpse into a technicolour past. In addition they have matched the type of paint used and applied it to contemporary reconstructions.

Some sickness on the Kokoda Track can be attributed to dehydration. Water and electrolyte drinks are vital to each trekker, and we encourage all trekkers to be keeping each other accountable to keep hydrated.
Your thirst is a natural gauge for your hydration. If you are thirsty you need to drink straight away. Even if you are not thirsty, you need to small amounts drink at regular intervals.
For this reason it is very important to keep your water as easily accessible as possible, to allow you to regularly drink. The best way to do this is via a water bladder and a hose with a mouth piece such as a 3 litre Camel Bak. Water bottles are hard to keep continual drinking for long periods and products such as life straws are unsuitable for water consumption while trekking.
In the past some trekkers on the Kokoda Trail have had un-safe water drinking regimes, that have caused people to have too much water in their system and this has led to sickness, and has been a key contributing factor in the deaths of some Kokoda trekkers. This was attributed to hypernatremia that is a sodium/body water balance issue. Hypernatremia is an elevated sodium level in the blood, specifically a serum level above 145 mEq/L. Hypernatremia is generally not caused by an excess of sodium, but rather by a relative deficit of free water in the body. For this reason, hypernatremia often coincides with dehydration.
It is not an area that needs to worry you, but trekkers must be regularly drinking, and listening to their bodies. Come to the beginning of the tour hydrated (don't drink alcohol the night before you start) and continue to hydrate regularly.
Electrolyte supplements are vital to ensuring your bodies are well equipped for each day. Mix these up in a cup morning and night and more if needed. The mixture should be as per the manufactures instructions or even a little stronger (instead of one satchel to 350ml mix it in 300ml) as this is the best way to keep you body up with the salts it requires. Do not mix this in larger volumes and sip all day as this mixture is too weak to replenish the electrolytes sufficiently. Do not bring or use Gator aid or staminade as these are to high in sugar and contain little salt or magnesium. Suggestions for the type of supplement to use include: Endura, Hydrolyte sports, Shotz electrolyte tablets.
Please keep watch on the color of your urine, as darker urine is a warning sign for dehydration. If you are urinating very frequently more than once every 90 – 120 minutes you could be drinking too much, if you are not urinating every couple of hours you could be drinking to little fluids. Headaches, dry mouth, restlessness and a slight fever are also a warning signs of dehydration.
Key points are to drink small amounts regularly, use the right electrolyte supplements and avoid alcohol and large amounts of diuretics like caffeine found in coffee and tea.

Empathy and ingenuity work wonders
How Microsoft used tech to help people with ALS regain mobility
Every year approximately 6,000 people are diagnosed with the immobilizing disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Microsoft wants to give them and other mobility-challenged individuals the technology to regain some of their lost autonomy.
ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurological disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. It robs a person of the ability to walk, use their limbs, talk and even breathe independently.
Individuals with the disease not only lose their mobility but their sense of "self" is challenged. Total dependence upon others erodes their sense of autonomy.
Technology that can return a level of freedom to people with ALS and others who use wheelchairs is liberating for those who often feel trapped in their own bodies. Former football star Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS shortly before the birth of his son. In an effort to be the father he wanted to be, Gleason reached out to Microsoft for help.
How fathering a son with disabilities helped Microsoft's CEO transform the company
Microsoft's Autism Hiring Program aims to attract diverse talent
How Microsoft's inclusion mission is helping the blind to 'see'
How Microsoft is helping deaf people 'hear'
Microsoft embraced the challenge
In a belief that Microsoft had the talent, technology and will to help him, Gleason sent the company an email:
I want to be able to move my wheelchair, I want to be independent, I want to be able to have great conversations with my kiddo.
He felt that people like himself should be able to drive their wheelchairs with their eyes. In response to his email, a team of innovators embraced the challenge, and during a one-week 2014 hackathon event, the team committed to making Gleason's dream for himself and others a reality.
Becoming mobile
By the end of the event, the team had a crude but functional solution using eye-tracking technology and additional components that allowed Gleason to move his wheelchair with his eyes. After seeing the impact of the technology, the team was encouraged to go further.
Microsoft Chief Accessibility Officer Jenny Lay-Flurrie said:
We did not want it to be the end of the hackathon, at all. By then we had all vehemently fallen in love with Steve and his family. We wanted to continue this project.
The team garnered the necessary resources, iterated on the tech, and in April 2015 Gleason's wheelchair was outfitted with a more refined version of the eye-tracking and wheelchair navigation tech.
Gleason felt that people like him should be able to move their wheelchairs with their eyes.
Microsoft's innovative technology empowered Gleason to navigate his chair independently and to play with his son.
Microsoft now wants to take this technology to a much broader audience that can also benefit from it. Though Microsoft is "working against the clock" and many of the people with ALS they worked with have died, Gleason's case stands out as a ray of hope and a point of origin for technology that will potentially help millions.
Microsoft's eye-tracking technology
The eye-tracking technology that helped Gleason is now part of Windows 10. Users with varying degrees of mobility can navigate Windows 10 using just their eyes and can even type an entire article using the technology. The inclusion of this technology as a basic function of the OS is core to Microsoft's mission of inclusive design or thinking of all users from the beginning of the design process.
Microsoft is serious about bringing diversity to its products and its teams through a mission of inclusion.
Microsoft's holistic approach to inclusion
Jessica Rafuse is a program manager for accessibility, and she enjoyed watching Microsoft's inclusion efforts from afar before joining the company. As a person who uses a wheelchair, she understands the challenges facing those with limited mobility.
Rafuse champions Microsoft's inclusivity and accessibility missions and is also helping to bring other talented people with disabilities into the organization. Through its products, hiring practices and inspiring technological efforts, such as those that yielded the eye-tracking that helped Steve Gleason and now millions of others, Microsoft's inclusivity efforts are holistic.
This mission begins with empathy and focuses on individuals and their abilities rather than defining people based on the challenges they face.
What we can accomplish with technology is amazing when we care about others and work together to empower one another.

If you need these positions, please email Tracy with your request when registering, and we will try to accommodate your request. But please make sure to clear all activity with your doctor prior to participating—we want all our volunteers to be safe.
May I bring my children with me during my shift?
It will be too difficult for you to work and watch the little ones at the same time.
What days/times are available to volunteer?
Volunteer shifts begin on the first day of set-up to the last day of break-down. You can find all the volunteers shifts on the Volunteer page. Visit our Volunteer Shifts page for the complete list.

Can my husband volunteer to help at the sale instead of me?
We would be happy to put your spouse to work in your place! With the addition of our Adult Home Goods Sale we can use the manpower any day throughout the sale.

Can another family member volunteer to help at the sale instead of me?
We would be happy to accept another family member to work in your place (however, they must be 16 years or older). Example, we have had several moms who graciously worked for their pregnant daughters, and then gave them the Volunteer Pre-Sale Pass.
Please consider comfort and ease of motion above fashion and flair. Most volunteers choose to wear comfortable pants such as jeans and a comfortable shirt, such as a short sleeved or long-sleeved T-shirt (and if you have a Jack & Jill shirt, by all means please wear it!). Also, shoes that give good support and comfort, such as tennis shoes, are highly encouraged. Don't worry–we know you'll look fabulous!
Please note that the shifts are 6 hours long so you are welcome to bring a snack (one that can be carried with you while you work) and a drink. Plus, bring your smile and your patience—shoppers can be crazy!

Weiner: Healthcare reform "might be dead" if Brown wins
Congressman says loss of Democratic Senate supermajority could spell doom for bill
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2010/01/19/weiner_5/
Alex Koppelman
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is confident -- at least in public -- that healthcare reform will get passed, even without a Democratic supermajority in the Senate. Not all of her members seem to agree.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday, Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., who's something of a leader among House liberals, said that if Republican Scott Brown wins the special election being held today to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy, "I think you can make a pretty good argument that healthcare might be dead."
Weiner made this prediction despite the apparent hope of his party's leaders, including those in the White House, that they'll be able to get a bill passed by having the House approve the version already passed by the Senate, thus avoiding another round of votes in the upper chamber.
"I think it's going to be very hard to ask us in the House to take the Senate bill," Weiner said. "Everyone acknowledges it was a worse bill. Everyone said the only reason we were passing the Senate bill is to move the ball forward."
Similarly, a Web site run by the congressman says he "will oppose the final bill unless it represents a genuine improvement on the Senate bill." (Hat-tip to Jake Tapper.) He might not be the only one to do so, and given the narrow margin by which the House passed its version of the legislation, that could spell trouble.
Of course, this all still rests on the outcome of the special election -- though most observers believe it unlikely, it's still possible that Democrat Martha Coakley could pull off a win and preserve her party's 60 seat Senate majority.

Ban on eating dogs blocked by Justice Ministry for fear of offending people in the Far East
By Tom Newton Dunn, Political Editor
Published: 15th September 2019, 22:00
Updated: 16th September 2019, 2:22
A NEW legal ban on eating dogs has been blocked by Justice Ministry bureaucrats for fear of offending cultural sensitivities in the Far East.
Environment ministers have drawn up a new criminal offence in Britain of possessing dog and cat meat.
The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is held annually in China's Guangxi province.
Former DEFRA Secretary Michael Gove ordered the move in the summer despite the sickening practice being rare in the UK.
Dog groups persuaded him that it would send a powerful message to South East Asian countries where the practice is still rife, matching a similar law passed in the US last year.
But The Sun can reveal that nervous civil servants have stepped in to halt the ground-breaking move.
'CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE'
Campaigning Tory MP Giles Watling was told by the MoJ that one of the reasons it acted was that it would be "culturally insensitive" of the Government to dictate to other nations what they should eat.
Mr Watling told The Sun last night: "Dogs are our companion animals. We do not eat them, and that is a very important message to send to the rest of the world.
"It's not culturally insensitive because we're not telling them what to do – we're just telling them what we do."
"We shouldn't be worrying about that, so I was surprised that was the MoJ's objection."
Justice officials also argued that it would be difficult to enforce the law and the current ban on transporting or exporting dog and cat meat suffices.
Eating dog is already banned in Germany, Austria, Taiwan, South Australia and Hong Kong.
An estimated 30 million dogs a year are slaughtered to be eaten, across China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Most are stolen off the street.
Michael Gove ordered the ban in the summer despite dog meat being rarely eaten in the UK.
A ban on eating dog meat in the UK has been blocked over fears of offending South Asian countries.
Their meat it is considered both a delicacy and a health tonic.
The World Dog Alliance mounted a campaign in the UK last year for a full ban on any activity relating to the eating of dogs.
A series of MPs back a ban, including former Foreign Office minister Sir Alan Duncan who dubbed it "a disgusting habit".
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: "We currently have some of the strongest animal welfare laws in the world."
"The government is currently considering whether any changes are needed in this are in the UK and will set out any plans in due course."

After 12 years of existence SLEEK has reached its 50th issue and to commemorate we're proud to present in this edition The SLEEK Fifty - a dossier with the ideas, subjects and people we think will define the remainder of the decade and beyond. Continuing with the art and fashion crossover we've championed, we feature the artist and fashion icon OLYMPIA SCARRY as our cover star, in an intimate profile that also documents her epic journey to Dallas where she trained with US Olympian MICHAEL JOHNSON. And elsewhere in the magazine Jeni Fulton studies the current wave of artists assuming the role of curators, while our fashion and beauty editorials provide more than 30 pages of sun-kissed inspiration.


mad for mosaic (and knitting)!!
Or maybe just "mad"… (as in cloud cuckoo land crazy).
Curry sauce by Pataks (we are very fond of curry in a hurry in the JB household).
The sleeve is made with Sari Silk gifted me by Holly as a surprise in an American chip gift pack. I thought it fit well with the curry theme. The buttons are vintage, 1940s. Fancy beads from Michaels craftstore.
Hopefully the household dishwashing job was better than usual. If not, I may get to sample the unique taste of vindaloo coffee this morning at the desk. Talk about "world coffee"!!
A really fancy name for a pen holder which will hopefully help me restore order to my office highlighter collection.
Curry sauce by the President. (an aside: why is it that native UK cuisine seems to treat black pepper as a spice to be used with suspicion and extreme caution, but Brits and Scots love curry? Especially after drinking copious amounts of beer? I don't get it. Tell my "old country" scottish/british friends, "Tonight it's Moroccan for dinner" and they screw up their faces in confusion and sniff every bite suspiciously before eating – kind of like I do with vegetables – hmm. But tell them "I know you've had Patak's the last ten times you were here, but… " and they practically lick the cooking pan clean!
Note also the elephant in the background. I thought that was a nice touch.
The goddess was made for by a very dear departed friend of mine and resided on my fridge for many years.
why do mad passion and beauty make me cry with lust?
I know, I know… don't give up my day job. However, I do like it better than the tenants rights haiku I penned during the last staff meeting. I won't bore you with those, although the coworkers got a kick out of them.

Q: How to reference a specific chapter in a book in Bookdown? I know it is possible to include references to specific sections/chapters of citations in Latex, but am wondering if there is a way to do this within the R Bookdown environment. Searches show lots of ways to reference other sections of the book I am writing in bookdown. For context, including a bookdown citation such as [@Gelman2014] produces the following reference in the pdf output: (Gelman 2014). I am looking for a way to get something along the lines of (Gelman 2014 Sec 2.1). Thanks in advance!

A: Welcome to SO, @lcaruso!
You could try something like this:

Phillies Halladay Injures Groin in Game 5 Win
The good news for the Philadelphia Phillies is that they found a way to come back from a one-run deficit against Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants to win Game 5 and send the NLCS back to Philadelphia for a pivotal Game 6 in Philly. The bad news is that their ace Roy Halladay tweaked his groin in the second inning and wasn't himself the whole night.
"I felt like it was something I could get by with," Halladay said.
Halladay rode the stationary bike in between innings to try to keep it loose, but he clearly didn't have his A game all night.
"He wasn't going to let us take him out," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
It probably means that he's not available for relief duties should they reach a Game 7. But, the more immediate worry last night was him staying healthy enough to get through the game. After all, the Phils were facing elimination. They ain't got time for groin injuries.
"I was worried a little bit," Ruiz said. "But when I saw him come back to the mound [in the third inning], I had a great feeling."
Probably Doc's biggest problem was getting ahead in counts all night. He got behind a few times and wasn't able to throw a lot of pitches that he may have wanted to. Still, Halladay at 85% is still better than most of the league.
Now, the big question is how Roy Oswalt pitches in Game 6 after pitching an inning in Game 4′s loss on Wednesday night.
