State Police Helicopter Crew Rescues Injured Hiker from Sugarloaf Mountain
September 28, 2015 -- A Maryland State Police helicopter crew performed a hoist rescue off of Sugarloaf Mountain, Frederick County, Maryland on the afternoon of Monday, September 28, 2015. Shortly before 5:00 p.m., the Maryland State Police Helicopter Dispatch Center (SYSCOM) received a call from the Frederick County 911 Center regarding an injured hiker on Sugarloaf Mountain who fell from a rocky outcrop approximately 75 feet. Preliminary information indicated the individual may have a head injury and was unable to extricate himself from the area. The remote location and steep terrain precluded a timely extrication by ground.
The crew of Trooper 3, based at Frederick Municipal Airport, was dispatched and immediately began preparing for a hoist rescue. Once overhead, an aerial reconnaissance was conducted and the crew determined the best method of extraction was to employ a PEP Bag, a type of rescue device designed to encase a patient on a backboard.
After positioning the aircraft over the victim at an altitude of approximately 200 feet, the rescue device was lowered down to the Fire/EMS crew tending to the victim. The ground crew loaded the victim into the PEP bag and Trooper 3 hoisted the individual into the aircraft. Once inside the aircraft, the crew of Trooper 3 continued to administer advanced life support medical care and transported the male patient, believed to be in his 20's, a short distance to Meritus Medical Center for further evaluation.
Trooper 3 was assisted at the scene by ground units from Urbana Fire Department, Carol Manor Fire Department, Hyattstown Fire Department, and Frederick County Advance Technical Rescue.
The Maryland State Police Aviation Command operates a fleet of 10, Augusta-Westland AW139, helicopters based out of seven sections throughout the state. This mission is a clear demonstration of the multi-mission capability these aircraft provide to our allied public safety partners and the citizens of Maryland.

There are several ways to moisturize lips fast at home using either a moisturizer or natural home remedy. Apply any of them before sleep and leave it overnight to work. In the morning you will get soft and silky lips even without the use of chapsticks.
There are various internal and external factors that are responsible for removal of moisture from the lips that make it dry and chapped. Smoking, licking lips and acidic foods are your internal habits that damage the lips skin, while sun and winters are external factors. To keep lips moist you need to change those habits that causes harm to skin and also protect it from extreme climatic conditions. Here are the precautions and treatment available to moisturize dry lips and keep it soft and smooth.
Some of the ill effects of smoking are dark skin, premature wrinkles, eye bags, psoriasis, yellow teeth, hair fall etc. The nicotine and tobacco content in cigarettes can clear the moisture from the lips plus turn it dark. So stay away from this bad habit if you want a beautiful appearance.
Our saliva contains various enzymes that is important for digestion of the food. When we eat food some of the acidic properties of the food remains in the saliva and licking lips can lead to contact of such saliva with lips which can make it dry and chapped. And other reason to follow this prevention tip is that when saliva evaporated from the lips it leaves lips dryer.
Whatever the climate is either very hot or cold, both can cause cracks and de-moisturized lips. For this one need to cover lips with the vitamin E moisturizers of lips balms that helps in keeping lips smooth in such climatic conditions. These precautions are very important to maintain the softness and beauty of lips.
A good diet definitely in any sense cannot remove the dryness from the lips, but it can help for overall skin. Have vitamin E rich foods and plenty of water to keep our skin moisturized from inside. Almonds, avocado, peanuts, fish and other nuts are some good vitamin E rich foods.
One should avoid such hot drinks because it can burn the skin of our lips. Hence let these drinks to slightly cool and then you can have it. Having tea or coffee should not be more than twice a day as it can turn dark.
There are a variety of lip gloss and balms available to keep lips moist in any weather condition. These products contain many extracts that are responsible for maintaining the moisture levels of the lips. Lip glosses are little expensive but they are really good for the lip skin. One thing you should always remember that it is ok to spend few bucks more and buy a good brand product instead of cheap chemical product. These cheap products destroy the skin cells of lips and instead of turning lips soft it actually removes the hydration from lips.
In certain parts the air is very dry and using humidifiers at home helps to keep the air moist. Apply the cream to lips and switch on the humidifier before going to sleep. In the morning not only your lips but also your skin will turn soft.
You can consider massages as one of the exercises that help to keep lips in a good shape. The benefits it provides are it stimulates blood flow toward lips and also increases supply of oxygen other necessary nutrients. You can use either a hydration cream or some home remedy for massaging lips and turning it soft and pink.
Moving ice is one of the best techniques to clear impurities, cure dry chapped lips and make them red. Take one ice cube and daily massage it over the lips for 5 minutes to get beautiful lips.
As everyone knows cucumbers contain moisture, relaxation properties and lightening powers and hence it is used on eyes for treating several problems. Keeping cucumber on lips can do the same wonders it can moisturize and at the same lighten lips. Apply the paste of cucumber or if you want keep the round slices on lips daily for 10 minutes.
Nectar is one of the most popular product when it comes to using a natural moisturizer. The ample of water content in it can be used either on skin or hair to get rid of roughness problem. To moisturize lips at home this can be the best option. Take a spoon of honey and apply it to the lips, leave this gel to dry and then clean it with cold water.
Olive oil, coconut oil and almond oil have lots of vitamin E content and everyone knows the importance of vitamin E for soft skin. So take any one of this oil and before sleeping apply it to the lips. Do it daily if the lips have become chapped and in a week you will get smooth and silky lips.

Unite Nigeria with your ethno-religious differences, Nigerians urged
Segun Adio
Nigerians have been urged to allow the ethno-religious differences among them to strengthen and unite the country, rather than allow them to divide them.
They were also urged to continue to show more love and understanding to one another among the various ethnic and religious groups in the country especially as the nation prepares for another round of general elections next year.
These calls were made, on Tuesday, by Rev. Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi, Founder of Love of Christ Generation C&S Church, London on her conferment of the award by all white garment churches in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.

Rev. Mother Ajayi, who also challenged Nigerians to use the coming general elections in 2019 to further unite the country by ensuring that they allow their self convictions to determine the choice of their candidates, also implored religious leaders not to turn religious assembly to preach ethnicity and religious disharmony among their congregations.
Her words, "What we are here today is really to celebrate oneness among all white garment churches.
It is in the same vein that we want unity to continue to radiate among Nigerians.
"As the 2019 general elections approaches, I urge Nigerians not to allow their ethnic and religious differences to influence their voting pattern, but to cast their ballot for someone with the fear of God and one who is ready to assuage their sufferings."
In his remarks at the event, Supreme Head of the Cherubim & Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, His Most Eminence Prophet Dr. Solomon Alao, also tasked Nigerians to urgently go collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote for the candidates of their choices at the local, state and national levels.

Prophet Alao also condemned attempts by some politicians to divide the people of the country along religious and ethnic lines, urging Nigerians not to be used by "corrupt politicians who always want to play on their (Nigerians)'s intelligence especially when elections are coming."
Alao, who said all candidates in the country are his candidates challenges members of his church to vote for whomever they were convinced will be a better choice among all candidates seeking elective offices in all the tiers of government.
In his sermon, Elder Isaac Bello, used the occasion to appeal to political leaders in the country to always make the yearnings of the masses a priority in their dealings with the people that voted for them during elections.

Al-Kashi ou Al-Kachi (« le natif de Kachan »), de son nom complet Ghiyath ad-Din Jamshid Mas`ud al-Kashi (Ghiyâth ad-dîn : « secours de la religion », mas`ûd : « heureux », ĵamšid : « Yama le brillant » en persan), est un mathématicien et astronome perse (, Kachan (Territoire mozaffaride) – 1429, Samarcande (Empire timouride)).

Biographie
Dans les années qui suivirent une éclipse de lune à laquelle il assista en 1406 à Kachan, al-Kashi rédigea plusieurs ouvrages astronomiques. Ses Khaqani zij (Tables du grand khan) furent dédiées à Shah Rukh ou au fils de celui-ci, Ulugh Beg, sultans de la dynastie timouride.

Ulugh Beg invita al-Kashi à Samarcande en 1420, année de l'ouverture de la médersa qui porte son nom. Al-Kashi y enseigna avec Qadi-zadeh Roumi, le professeur d'Ulugh Beg, et probablement Ulugh Beg lui-même.

Contributions

Astronomie
Avant la construction de l'observatoire de Samarcande, les observations étaient réalisées à la médersa. Al-Kashi joua un rôle important dans la conception de l'observatoire, inauguré vers 1429, et de ses instruments d'astronomie.

Les travaux menés par Ulugh Beg, Qadi-zadeh Roumi, al-Kashi et quelque soixante autres savants aboutirent à la publication des Tables sultaniennes (Zij-é solTâni, en persan), parues en 1437 mais améliorées par Ulugh Beg jusque peu avant sa mort en 1449. Les données des Khaqani zij y furent bien sûr utilisées.

Des lettres écrites en persan par al-Kashi à son père décrivent en détail la vie scientifique à Samarcande à cette époque. Seuls Qadi-zadeh Roumi et Ulugh Beg trouvent grâce à ses yeux. Al-Kashi était d'un tempérament peu raffiné, mais Ulugh Beg le traitait avec bienveillance du fait de ses compétences.

Mathématiques

Loi des cosinus

La loi des cosinus s'énonce de la façon suivante :
Soit un triangle ABC, dans lequel on utilise les notations usuelles exposées sur la figure 1 : d'une part ,  et  pour les angles et, d'autre part, ,  et  pour les longueurs des côtés respectivement opposés à ces angles. Alors l'égalité suivante est vérifiée :

Al-Kashi est crédité de l'énonciation de ce théorème dans son livre Miftah al-hisab (« Clé de l'arithmétique »).

Risala al-mouhitiyy (« Traité de la circonférence ») et calcul de

En 1424, dans son ouvrage intitulé Risala al-mouhitiyy (« Traité de la circonférence »), à partir de la méthode des polygones d'Archimède, en utilisant exclusivement la base 60 (sexagésimale), al-Kashi calcule 10 chiffres sexagésimaux de , soit 16 chiffres décimaux exacts.
Il publie ainsi le calcul suivant :

2 = 6 * 60 + 16 * 60 + 59 * 60 + 28 * 60 + 1 * 60 + 34 * 60 + 51 * 60 + 46 * 60 + 14 * 60 + 50 * 60,

ce qui donne, en décimal : π = 3,1415926535897932…

La valeur la plus précise obtenue jusque-là était celle du mathématicien chinois Zu Chongzhi (vers l'an 465) qui, par la méthode des périmètres, avait obtenu l'encadrement : 3,1415926 <  < 3,1415927.
Vers 1410, et de manière indépendante, le mathématicien indien Madhava avait déjà obtenu 11 décimales de  à l'aide d'une variante de la formule de Gregory.

Ce record sera battu 170 ans plus tard, en 1596, par l'Allemand van Ceulen, avec 20 décimales.

Miftah al-hisab (« Clé de l'arithmétique »)
Dans cette œuvre terminée en 1427,  Al-Kashi utilise l'arithmétique pour résoudre des problèmes relevant de divers domaines tels que l'astronomie, la finance ou l'architecture.

Instruments
Al-Kashi est l'inventeur d'une sorte de calculateur analogique permettant de faire des interpolations linéaires, opérations très courantes en astronomie.

Hell on the track, perfect on x-country
By Susan Salk on October 29, 2014
Fine with Me and Lauren Lambert won the USEF National One-Star Eventing Championship at the Hagyard Mid-South Eventing and Dressage Association Three-Day last weekend. Photo by X-Press Foto and courtesy Lauren Lambert
He was hell on the track, but devilishly good on the Eventing field last week.
Fine with Me, an innocent-looking pretty gray once had quite the bag of tricks when stalled at the racetrack. "He used to stand up in his stall and try to climb over the walls," says rider Lauren Lambert, who evented Fine with Me to clinch the 2014 USEF National One-Star Eventing Championship at the Hagyard Mid-South Eventing and Dressage Association (MSEDA) Three-Day Event and Team Challenge last weekend.
In addition to the championship, the pair also took home the Jockey Club High Point Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) award in a landmark horse show drawing 500 horses of all breeds, and numerous Thoroughbreds. Fine with Me bested 60 horses for the TIP Award.
The talented 25-year-old Louisville, Ky., equestrian started riding the fair-haired upstart in 2011 after her aunt Margie Darling first co-purchased the T-bred in a partnership, and eventually took over full ownership.
Fine with Me
Sire: With Approval
Dam: Alycheer, by Alydeed
Foal date: April 30, 2003"When we first got him, we thought, 'What did we buy?' He had such a personality and a reputation on the track," Lambert says. "But I started riding him when Margie sent him to Florida in 2011 and 2012 and to train, he was fine. He's really smart, and very straight forward."
After tackling a couple of Preliminaries in Florida together, Lambert and Fine with Me went into regular training again in April after she returned home from Germany, where she'd worked in a world-class show jumping barn, and Fine with Me shipped back to Kentucky from the Sunshine State.
They honed their skills at Morgan Kentucky Horse park two weeks prior, competing at the Intermediate level, and placing third out of 15.
By the time the pair charged out of the start box Oct. 18 for the cross-country portion of the Hagyard event, the Fine with Me and Lambert combo was able to tackle the challenging course with relative ease.
The winners! Photo by Ann Banks
Noting that her horse still had "gallop left in him" when others lost their gumption, she says Fine with Me showed remarkable finesse at the first water, Jumps 4 and 5, a combination that caused many problems and refusals for others.
"It had to be reset several times because people were hitting it really hard," she says. But not her horse. "Fine with Me just ate it up, he really did. He's a great horse and all I had to do was put my hands down and ride him forward to the distance, and he never questioned what I was asking."
Also a careful jumper, he put in a good round in show jumping, and though not great yet in Dressage, he is showing promise that he will shine one day in that discipline too.
After winning the championship, Lambert really had to hand it to her horse. The gelding, once so ill behaved, answered every question spot on. "There were a lot of tiny questions along the way, and a lot of forward riding," she says. "A lot of people and horses got discombobulated and the horses weren't 100 percent sure what they were supposed to be doing. I had to sit down and dig in and give the horse confidence."
With the USEF championship under his belt, Fine with Me will travel to Florida for the winter, pointing toward going Advanced next spring. ♥

Well actually his worst habit at the track was crawling out under the webbing and visiting other horses. On the track he was just not interested in going to the front. He just didn't see the point! He just wasn't of a competitive nature. Things sure changed when he started eventing-his true calling!

Kraft Foods Selects Nothingness Label for Snack Business
Communications Entry Point Without Meaning Stalls Reputation Build
"MONDEWHAAAAT?"
The sarcasm was palpable in the one-word headline that appeared in The New York Post on the day after Kraft Foods revealed that it planned to name its new global snack business "Mondelez," an interpretation of a mash-up of the Latin words for "world" and "delicious." But that wasn't the only dig.
One blogger teased that she would've been "stifling giggles" if she'd been in meetings to determine the name. A Forbes contributor suggested a trick for remembering how to say it: "Just think Bush Administration Secretary of State. You know, Mon-de-leza Rice." Crain's Business Chicago tittered that it bears close resemblance to a vulgar Russian term for a sexual act.
Michael Mitchell, a Kraft spokesman, said executives took all the joking in stride, and he's quick to point out why the Crain's observation didn't alarm the company: "The name has to be mispronounced to get that unfortunate meaning."
The made-up moniker, pronounced "mon-dah-LEEZ," became a punch line after it was unveiled in March. On Wednesday, Kraft shareholders will decide whether to approve the name for the company's business that sells global snack brands such as Oreos, Fig Newton and Cadbury.
The four-month odyssey of how "Mondelez" was picked — and how it was received — illustrates the great pains companies take to come up with powerful names for their businesses, products and services. For them, it's akin to parents obsessing over a name for their newborn: it's a moniker that sticks for better or worse, so it better be good.
"You have to generate thousands of ideas, even if it's just for a cookie," said Nik Contis, the global director of naming at branding company Siegel+Gale.
That's just what Kraft did after it decided to split into two publicly-traded companies — one for itsNorth American grocery business that makes products like Oscar Mayer and Miracle Whip and the other a bigger company to focus on selling snacks worldwide.
It was clear to executives at Kraft's Northfield, Ill., headquarters that the name of the snack business would have to appeal to a global audience. So the world's biggest maker of sweet snacks started the arduous process of picking a name in November by soliciting suggestions from its 126,000 employees.
On its internal website, Kraft proclaimed that it would host a naming contest. The announcement included a "mood video" set to music and showing images of life milestones, such as a wedding and a baby's birth. Employees were encouraged to make suggestions through an "Idea Kitchen" page, where they could see and build off of the suggestions of their peers.
More than 1,000 employees submitted more than 1,700 entries.
Discarded name candidates ranged from the cultivated ("Panvoro," Latin for eating) to the not-so-cultivated ("tfark," which is Kraft spelled backward) to the outright cryptic ("Arrtx" — the employee who suggested it provided no explanation on what the letters signified).
Once the suggestions started rolling in, Kraft's global marketing team took the reins of the naming process. An outside branding firm from London was hired and a handful of top contenders were picked. (Kraft declined to reveal the finalists, noting that "there may be some value in those names" for other purposes down the road.)
The names went through two rounds of testing with native speakers in 28 different languages. Consumers in small focus groups were asked again and again if any of the names conjured up negative associations. "Mondelez," a favorite among Kraft executives from the get-go, didn't raise any big red flags.
Still, the company discovered that there might be a problem. Consumer testers flagged the possible misinterpretation of "Mondelez" for a Russian term meaning "oral sex." But the issue was referred to Kraft's Russian business unit, which in turn deemed it to be "low risk." So the name was given the thumbs up.
It's not unusual for companies to take a calculated risk with names. Even though they're aware that the names they introduce could elicit negative reactions at first, experts say the snide remarks often subside as the brand strengthens.
After all, there were plenty of snickers when Apple Inc. unveiled the iPad, which critics said sounded like a high-tech feminine hygiene product. Now, the iPad is by far the No. 1 selling tablet worldwide. Then there's the classic example in the 1970s of the Chevrolet car called Nova, which means "no go" in Spanish. Despite urban legend, a Chevy spokesman said the model sold well in Latin America because the term is pronounced differently there.
That's what Conti, the branding expert, is guessing would happen if shareholders decide to vote in favor of naming Kraft's global snacking business "Mondelez."
"The sound and structure rolls off the tongue like a delicious treat," he said. "The romance language is great because you want to eat the language itself because it's so beautiful."
If shareholders reject the name, the company will continue to be called "Kraft Foods Inc." while the North American grocery business will be called "Kraft Foods Group Inc."
But it appears that Kraft is confident that Mondelez will pass muster; the company already reserved the ticker symbol "MDLZ" and website www.mondelez.com.

In a search warrant affidavit filed by the Franklin Police Department, officers described an at least six-greenhouse operation on farmland off of 116th Street on the city's south side.
Franklin police repeatedly refused to discuss the operation, citing an ongoing investigation, but records show that substances labeled "drugs" were seized from the property and are currently in the possession of Franklin police.
Franklin Mayor Steve Olson said he's frustrated with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office and its lack of prosecution against the owners of the growth operation.
"There is major illegal drug activity going on that was not prosecuted, and no one got arrested for, and now the city is responsible ... for what is the responsibility of the state and district attorney's office," Olson said. "They're not doing their job, plain and simple."
But, according to Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern, the police department has not yet requested criminal charges be filed against the operation's owners, and the final investigation report has yet to be submitted.
Here's what we know about the operation.
Operation reportedly included several greenhouses and thousands of plants
According to the affidavit:
Police confirmed marijuana on the property as early as July 2021, using criminal informants and other forms of surveillance. According to the informants, one greenhouse contained about 3,500 marijuana plants; the informant noted two tents and six greenhouses on the property that month.
The property is leased to Green Haven Fields LLC, which has an address listed in Brookfield. The company organized in January, according to records from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions.
Police discovered multiple systems in place to protect the operation from detection or deter law enforcement and others from the property.
These include, but aren't limited to, guard dogs, movable venting systems to control the odor of marijuana, fake names on utility records and other business records, altered electrical systems to avoid registering structures with utility companies, and deodorizers to mask the smell of marijuana.
Police also found marijuana on people driving off the property or in their vehicles.
The landowner told police he is not aware of the identity of the owners or their growing operation, but was told they were growing hemp on his land. Growing hemp is legal, but heavily regulated, in Wisconsin.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the landowner insisted he believed only hemp was being grown on the property.
He said he has received two citations in connection to the marijuana growth but has been given little information otherwise. One ticket he received did not list the fine he was required to pay or how much of the illegal substance was on his property, the landowner said. Police declined to offer any more details.
Olson confirmed that the city had served the landowner with two citations: one for marijuana growth and one for improper zoning.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture provided police with a list of licensed hemp farms in Milwaukee County, but a permit applied to Green Haven Fields LLC used an address that did not exist, according to the city treasurer's office.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge William Sosnay signed off on the search warrant Sept. 7, and police executed the warrant Sept. 8.
It's legal to grow hemp in Wisconsin
Hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, but the key difference between hemp and marijuana is the amount of psychoactive compound — known as tetrahydrocannabinol or THC — that each plant possesses. THC provides the high associated with most cannabis plants, but is present in lower levels in the strain of cannabis known as hemp.
Under federal law, the maximum amount of THC allowed in a cannabis plant before it is considered illegal is 0.3%.
Often, until the plant is fully grown, THC levels cannot be measured to determine whether it's classified as legal or illegal, according to Jay Selthofner, a hemp farmer and founder of the Wisconsin Cannabis Activist Network.
All cannabis seeds must be tested and approved by the state before being purchased to prevent the seeds from producing an illegal cannabis strain, Selthofner said. It's unlikely that seeds for growing hemp could be mistaken for seeds meant to grow marijuana, he said.
Marijuana legalization efforts in Wisconsin
Marijuana is illegal in Wisconsin, but as of May, adult recreational use of the drug is legal in the surrounding states of Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois.
State Democrats are fighting to change that, but face staunch Republican opposition, despite large public support for legalization.
Joseph J. Czarnezki, a Milwaukee County supervisor who represents Greenfield, Franklin and Milwaukee, was a co-sponsor of a resolution decreasing the fine for marijuana possession to $1 in Milwaukee County. The resolution passed in March.
He also authored a resolution calling on the state to legalize marijuana.
Gov. Tony Evers has also proposed legalizing marijuana at the state level, but the proposal ultimately did not make it into the most recent state budget.

Jefferson Airplane Grace Slick
October 30, 2015 Woodstock Whisperer	3 Comments
http://woodstockwhisperer.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Grace-Slick-Full-Interview-Part-2-mp3cut.net_.mp3
from several years ago, Grace's advice to women trying to break into rock
From the Jefferson Airplane site: Grace Slick, to the public mind, is synonymous with Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship in the way that Mick Jagger is synonymous with the Rolling Stones. Ironically, Grace was not an original member of the band, nor was she with Starship at the very end. But Grace's importance to every phase of the band cannot be underestimated. White Rabbit, which she wrote, helped define not only Jefferson Airplane but also the acid rock era. Her unconventional vocals on Somebody to Love gave the Airplane its biggest hit. As one of the first female rock stars (as opposed to pop singers), Grace helped redefine women's role in modern music as more than just a sex symbol backed by a band. Of course, with her statuesque beauty and icy blue eyes, Grace had the sex symbol bit down pat as well.
Grace Barnett Wing was born October 30, 1939, in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, IL. Her father, Ivan, was an investment banker, and her mother, Virginia Barnett Wing, had been an actress and singer in the early '30s. Her lineage goes back to Norway, where the family name was Vinje.
"Good morning, people!"
The Great Society
What about Woodstock? From a Rolling Stone magazine article: What did you think when you walked out and saw all those people? It's always good to see the people. I played a lot of festivals in the summer and it was set up for various kinds of performances and they had spotlights that are bolted in place, and they're blinding. I wore a white dress with fringe. I packed it in California and I didn't even think about the weather. I just assumed it would be marvelous. That day [after it rained], I thought, "Christ, I don't have anything else I can wear — this is it!" So I had to keep my feet out of the mud.
What is Grace up to nowadays? In a September 2017 Variety magazine interview one of her comments was, "I mostly paint now and I will encourage or not encourage people depending on who I am talking to. But also this is a period of time where I'm sitting back, which is fine. When you are older, generally, you're a bit quieter. Rock and roll is a young expression — it's strong, loud, and ironic. There are just things you do when you're 25 you don't do when you're 70 because you look silly."

Al Orsini says:
It was two years after the Summer of Love…and I was 14 at the time of Woodstock…and I wanted to go real bad. My cousin had just gotten back from his first tour of Viet Nam. I told him about it, and he said we could go…if my Dad approved. After some talking, I got the ok. We left on Saturday for the 4 hour drive ( I lived in Batavia, New York at the time.) By the time we got there, you couldn't get close with a car, so we slept in the back of his truck. Early Sunday morning we walked in ( about a mile..not sure how far) When we finally got close , we could hear The Who playing. The excitement I felt is hard to explain….I had never been with so many people before…but I felt at peace. We kept trying to move closer to the stage…then Jefferson Airplane came on. I was mesmerized by Grace. So beautiful and such a powerful voice. My cousin turned me on to a joint (my first time…Dad didn't need to know about this we both agreed.) We stayed until Joe Cocker played and the big storm hit. Since I had to be in summer school on Monday ( a Dad rule) we headed back home. During that storm, my cousin gave me his army field jacket…It was an experience I have cherished my whole life Today I'm 60.
Woodstock Whisperer says:
Thanks, Al, for a great story! We left the same time.
Leon Aguilar says:
Wow! Thanks Grace for your contribution to American music, culture, expression and history. Those were some turbulent times we were in but also some memorable. A lot of change was taking place. I was 11 at the time and wished I had the opportunity to have experienced the live concert a Woodstock, Haight-Ashbury, etc. But we did have some in New Orleans as well. I remember well the music and mimicking the musicians. I come from a musical family. Great art too by the way. I am an artist and musician. Thanks for your contributions!


Decided to take a fairly spontaneous trip to Louisville this weekend for our friend's birthday. Having lived in Louisville in the past, he recommended Butchertown Grocery. Good call.
Butchertown Grocery is named for a family-owned grocery that used to occupy the building in the early 1900s.
We pulled up around 1:30 on a rainy Saturday afternoon after sitting in standstill traffic on I-64. We hadn't eaten yet. Maybe not my smartest idea.
Be sure to get reservations ahead of time.
Book reservation at Butchertown Grocery here.
Thankfully, as soon as we walked in, we were gustatorily assaulted (not sure if that's an actual word, but I like it) with several courses of excellent and unique dishes.
To start, we had what ended up being my favorite dish, the gnocchi. It is a mushroom gnocchi topped with parmigiano-reggiano and a tasty mushroom sauce. I love both gnocchi and mushrooms, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Definitely get this one.
Next appetizer (yes, you can get appetizers for lunch, too) was the escargot. A little different than the traditional escargot with garlic, butter, and salt. This version has basil, gruyere, and an herb butter, and is served with a sliced baguette. Not my favorite escargot, but good.
The Butcherblock sandwich was excellent. Cured meats, runny egg, arugula, manchego, and hashbrowns, topped with a chive aioli, on ciabatta bread. Honestly, reading through those ingredients, how can that not be good?
The Butchertown eggs benedict was delicious. They substitute pork belly and a truffle bearnaise for the original ingredients. Highly recommend.
The last entree was the pecan salad. One of the most off-the-wall salads I've ever tried. Candied pecans and a jalapeno bleu cheese ice cream (!!!) top the salad, and covered with a pear-praline vinaigrette. Tasty and very different. Jalapeno bleu cheese ice cream on a salad. I'm really not even sure where to start with that!
With all this talk about the food, I almost forgot to mention the drinks, which were a great accompaniment. Butchertown's cocktails were even featured on Top Chef: Kentucky as classic Prohibition-era cocktails that were used as inspiration for the elimination challenge! Sold!
The Angel's Envy Spritz has, surprise, Angel's Envy bourbon (it is nearby, after all), cherry heering liqueur, tamarind syrup, ginger, lime, and cava. A lot going on, but really good.
The grapefruit mimosa was also great for brunch.

Q: managing a hierarchy of docker images I'm thinking of the following use case:

*

*base image with ubuntu server

*image with java7 setup, child of the first

*image with a java application, say spring based, that uses the 2nd as parent

Now, say for example that I want to add to all images extending the first some monitoring capabilities, and as a consequence I modify the first.
Is there a way, a tool maybe, that will trigger the auto build, in my local environment, of all children once the build of the base image completes?

A: You could try to use a small tool called docker-bakery that analyses structure of dockerfiles and enables triggering hierarchical builds when parent image changes.
For example when dog image changes the child images can be automatically rebuild.
├── alpine-java
│   ├── bird
│   └── mammal
│       ├── cat
│       ├── dog
│       │   ├── dobermann
│       │   │   └── smaller-dobermann
│       │   ├── pitbull
│       │   └── labrador
│       └── horse
└── scratch
    └── fish

The invocation in case of dog rebuild could as simple as:
$/docker-bakery-example> cd dog
$/dog> make build-major-all
...
// docker build of child images
...
$/dog> make push-major-all

Here is an example project with dockerfiles and make files that make the usage very convenient.

A: I our organization, we have a git repo with all our base images (this includes 1 and 2 in your list) ie the Dockerfiles. Application specific images are left to the individual teams and their repos (3 in your list)
We just have a simple shell script that builds and publishes each of these images in order. Each checkin to this images repo will trigger a build in our CI system (http://www.go.cd/) and hence ends up building all the images again.
Simple setup, but with around 10 base images, and around 3 levels of depth, this works well for us.

A: We use Jenkins with the git and docker plugins for this.  Our Dockerfiles are stored in a git repo, with one directory for each Dockerfile and supporting files.  Then in Jenkins we set up the dependencies (manually) and the child images of any parent image are built when the code changes in git.

On March 10, 2014, three same-sex couples filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana against the State of Indiana and Boone, Porter, and Lake Counties, in Indiana. The plaintiffs, represented by Lambda Legal and a number of private attorneys, brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and sought declaratory relief and both temporary and permanent injunctive relief. They claimed that Indiana's laws prohibiting the recognition of same-sex marriage, and the manner in which those statutes have been interpreted and enforced, violate the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses, because they deny plaintiffs the right to the most important relationship in life and make them second-class citizens due to the range of benefits that require marriage.
On March 31, 2014, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add two plaintiff couples and additional defendants, including the Indiana Department of Health and Hamilton County. One of the added plaintiffs was suffering from ovarian cancer; plaintiffs stated that Indiana's refusal to recognize her marriage impeded her ability to obtain needed medical care close to home. As such, the plaintiffs sought an order compelling immediate recognition of that couple's Massachusetts marriage in Indiana.
On April 10, 2014, at a motion hearing, Judge Richard Young granted the requested temporary restraining order, without a written order, for a month. While this order was in effect, the Court held a hearing on the pending motions for summary judgment and preliminary injunction, and on May 8, 2014, the Court granted a preliminary injunction, based on the plaintiffs' likelihood of success on the merits and irreparable harm absent relief. The Court required the State of Indiana to recognize the plaintiffs' out-of-state marriage, including, if need arises, by issuing a death certificate that records their marital status as "married" and lists the surviving spouse. Baskin v. Bogan, 2014 WL 1814064 (S.D. Ind. 2014).
The defendants filed a Motion to Stay Pending Appeal on May 8, 2014. However, on June 25, the motion was denied as moot when the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment. The decision declared that the Indiana same-sex marriage ban violated the Fourteenth Amendment and permanently enjoined the state from enforcing it. Baskin v. Bogan, 2014 WL 2884868 (S. D. Indiana).
As of June 25, 2014, same-sex marriages were legal in the state of Indiana. The defendants sought a stay in the district court, and filed an appeal. The district court did not rule on the stay motion for two days, so on June 27, the State filed an emergency stay motion in the Seventh Circuit, which granted that motion that same evening. The Seventh Circuit also consolidated this case with the two other pending Indiana same-sex cases, Fujii and Lee (see "related cases", below), and expedited briefing.
On July 10, 2014, the state appealed the decision to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals combined the case for briefing and oral argument with a similar Indiana case, Wolf v. Walker. On September 4, 2014, the Seventh Circuit, in a unanimous opinion authored by Judge Richard Posner, and joined by Judges Williams and Hamilton, found in favor of the plaintiffs and affirmed the district court's judgments invalidating and enjoining these two states' prohibitions of same-sex marriage. The opinion primarily addressed the question of equal protection and said that the states of Indiana and Wisconsin have no rational basis behind the prohibition of same-sex marriage. The Court also suggested that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation has all the hallmarks of a 'suspect class.' 766 F.3d 648 (7th Cir. 2014).
The defendants filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court and the Seventh Circuit stayed its mandate pending the outcome of that petition. When the Supreme Court denied review on October 6, 2014, the Seventh Circuit issued its mandate. The parties subsequently reached an agreement on attorneys' fees that was not disclosed to the Court. The case is now closed.

That's right, fresh out of University as a mature graduate, Casa was started in 1998 with a £1 coin. 4 numbers on the lottery and £90 richer, I was looking through Loot and found a roll top bath for sale for £120. I drove over to Putney the following day, made an offer of £90 which was accepted and I became the proud owner of a ball and claw footed antique bath. The following weekend whilst walking Tess, my four legged companion in Burgess Park, a bathroom specialist approached me and offered me considerably more for the said bath. With a handful of £50 notes being waved in front of my bespectacled eyes, I did my hardest to remain cool, calm and collected. I haggled him up from his original offer and a deal was done. The proceeds of the transaction were spent wisely acquiring more architectural salvage items which were then sold at trade shows via the open back truck. On a buying mission to Paris and after a lengthy brain-storming session, CASA or Camberwell Architectural Salvage and Antiques was born and trading started in Camberwell on 1st November 1998. The rest as they say is history.
Harry the Dog, Tall Paul Small, Milwall John, Double Dear Dez, Tin Hat, Jim Doors, Totter Paul et. al have all been, and still are, part and parcel of what makes architectural salvage a funny old game to be in. We all have a story to tell, the deal that got away, the wrongly valued item that could have paid off the mortgage but, you win some and lose some.

Today more and more time is spent with customers and clients measuring up for fireplaces, radiators and stoves ensuring that we deliver the best possible service. Such services include the sourcing, supplying and fitting of fireplaces and stoves from your initial ideas to the organising of the chimney sweep, the Gas Safe and H.E.T.A.S fitters and overseeing the work done to achieve your expectations.

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – Review
by Lydia Hughes
There's been much dismay over the Hollywood re-make of the Swedish, subtitled movie that was released only 2 years ago. Directed by David Fincher, it doesn't over-scream Hollywood; it has much more of a European feel to it, for reasons other than it being set in Scandinavia. And whilst, for some, it may seem unnecessarily too soon to re-do, I can only recommend viewing it before you judge in haste. Just in considering it as a standalone movie, in its own right, it is superb.
If you're unaware of author Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – the first book of his trilogy, Millennium – or you didn't get a chance to see the 2009 movie, this film noir is about a man called Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), an investigative journalist, who has been hired by an old Swedish industrialist to uncover the mystery of his niece's disappearance 40 years prior. As part of the investigation Blomkvist hires an atypical investigator – although one of the best in the field – Lisbeth Salander,to help in his hunt for a 'killer of women.'
Androgynous Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara, is the girl with the dragon tattoo. Having experienced a rough life so far, and deemed psychologically unsound, hers is by far the most interesting of characters. Fragile, yet fiery, dependent, yet heroic, her character's antithesis is one that draws intrigue. She is almost robotic in nature, but beneath the surface you can't help but sympathise with this child-like woman, yearning to be loved. Somewhat defiantly, maybe, it is possible to identify with Salander, seeing part of yourself in her, regardless of whether you are male or female. Despite various antitheses that cause you to question the character's stability, Salander takes more of a leading role in the plot than Blomkvist; in terms of input, dedication and risk-taking for the sake of the cause. This may come as a surprise given that Mara is relatively unknown in the film industry compared to her Bond-famous co-star, Craig. But it works.
It is certainly possible to speak of Fincher's re-make as lurid, for the shock and outrage it induces, sometimes forcing you to avert your eyes from the screen – particularly in its sexually violent explicitness. But, having said that, redemption is celebrated throughout (often with an eye for an eye-type comeuppance). In the use of pure gumption, fighting for rights, and martyrdom for the sake of loyalty and purpose, we see a glimpse Hollywood after all.
Certainly one of the best films I have seen this season, and one that I highly recommend.
