Top view of a rosewood tambura bridge. Notice the marks left by the strings as the javari-maker assures that the contact-lines on the surface of the bridge are continuous and even. As a further test strings are pulled sideways and lengthwise in order to rub the bridge with the string, to better judge the quality of the surface, as unevenness in the surface shows clearly as a gap.
Side view of a Tanjore-style rosewood tanpura bridge with cotton threads adjusted for full resonance.
Javārī, (also: 'joārī', 'juvārī', 'jvārī' (alternately transcribed 'jawārī', 'jowārī', 'joyārī', 'juwārī', and 'jwārī')) in Indian classical music refers to the overtone-rich "buzzing" sound characteristic of classical Indian string instruments such as the tanpura, sitar, surbahar, rudra veena and Sarasvati veena. Javari can refer to the acoustic phenomenon itself and to the meticulously carved bone, ivory or wooden bridges that support the strings on the sounding board and produce this particular effect. A similar sort of bridge is used on traditional Ethiopian lyres, as well as on the ancient Greek kithara, and the "bray pins" of some early European harps operated on the same principle. A similar sound effect, called in Japanese sawari, is used on some traditional Japanese instruments as well.
Under the strings of tanpuras, which are unfretted (unstopped), and occasionally under those bass drone strings of sitars and surbahars which are seldom fretted, cotton threads are placed on the javari bridge to control the exact position of the node and its height above the curved surface, in order to more precisely refine the sound of javari. These cotton threads are known in Hindi as 'jīvā', meaning "life" and referring to the brighter tone heard from the plucked string once the thread has been slid into the correct position. This process is called "adjusting the javari". After a substantial time of playing, the surface directly under the string will wear out through the erosive impact of the strings. The sound will become thin and sharp and tuning also becomes a problem. Then a skilled, experienced craftsman needs to redress and polish the surface, which is called "doing the javari" ("'Javārī Sāf Karnā' or "Cleaning the Javārī'").
The rich and very much 'alive' resonant sound requires great sensitivity and experience in the tuning process. In the actual tuning, the fundamentals are of lesser interest as attention is drawn to the sustained harmonics that should be clearly audible, particularly the octaves, fifths, major thirds and minor sevenths of the (fundamental) tone of the string. The actual tuning is done on three levels: firstly by means of the large pegs, secondly, by carefully shifting tuning-beads for micro-tuning and thirdly, on a tanpura, by even more careful shifting of the cotton threads that pass between the strings and the bridge, somewhat before the zenith of its curve.
Typical of javari on an instrument with preferably long strings, is that on the soundboard the strings run over a wide bridge with a very flat parabolic curve. The curvature of the bridge has been made in a precise relation to the optimum level of playing, or more exact, a precise amplitude of each string. Any string, given length, density, pitch and tension, wants to be plucked within the limits of its elasticity, and so vibrate harmoniously with a steady pitch. When a string of a tanpura is plucked properly, it produces a tone with a certain amplitude that will slowly decrease as the tone fades out. In this gradual process, the string, moving up and down according to its frequency, will make a periodic grazing contact with the curved surface of the bridge. The exact grazing-spot will gradually shift up the sloping surface, as a function of the decreasing amplitude, finally dissolving into the rest-position of the open string. In this complex dynamic sonation process, the shifting grazing will touch upon micro-nodes on the string, exciting a wide range of harmonics in a sweeping mode. The desired effect is that of a cascading row of harmonics in a rainbow of sound. As an analogy, a properly shaped and adjusted javari is similar to the refraction of white light through a prism. When the prism is of good proportions and quality and used properly, the phenomenon should produce itself. "The voice of an artist which is marked by a rich sound resembling that produced by two consonants played together, is often loosely known to have Javārī in it, although such use is arbitrary."
The javari of a tanpura is in a way fine-tuned with a cotton thread under the string. Both the thread itself and its function is called 'jiva'. The jiva lifts the string by its diameter off the bridge and gives the necessary clearance and adjustability. By carefully shifting the jiva the sequence of the shifting grazing on the parabolic surface of the bridge becomes 'tuneable' within limits. For each string there should be a spot relative to the curve of the bridge where optimum sound quality is found. Within the area of optimum resonance and sustain, a little play should be available for further fine-tuning, in which the jiva can hardly be seen to move. Staying with optics, shifting the jiva would be similar to using the manual fine focus on a camera. Experienced 'javari-makers' will agree that the 'javari' has to be made specific to certain string lengths, gauges and pitches and certain amplitudes. The curvature of the bridge of the main strings of a sitar will be different from that of the smaller and lower bridge in front of the main bridge, which carries the sympathetic resonance-strings (tarafs). As this choir of thinner and shorter strings is excited solely by the sympathetic resonance with the tones played on the main strings, the general amplitude is smaller, so accordingly the curvature will be flatter. The making of a perfectly sounding javari for any instrument requires a very high degree of skill and expertise. Tanpuras are the only instruments that are always used with jiva-threads, except the octave-tamburis. Sitar, Rudra Veena, Sarasvati Veena, all have parabolic wide javari bridges for the main playing strings. Sarod and Sarangi have some of their sympathetic resonance strings (tarafs) on small, flat javari-bridges similar to that of the sitar. The javari of a sitar will be made according to the wishes of the player, either 'open',('khula') with a bright sounding javari-effect, or 'closed' ('band') with a relatively more plain tone, or something in between ('ghol'). The choice depends on the preference of the sitar-player and on the adapted playing style.

Former President George H.W. Bush (R), who was a World War II veteran, businessman, congressman, ambassador, CIA director, vice president, and president, died last night at the age of 94. Bush has been in declining health, and was suffering from a form of Parkinson’s Disease. His wife, Barbara, died in April at the age of 92. Bush is so-far the longest-lived of any U.S. president, and he and Barbara are the longest-married presidential couple.
Bush enlisted in the U.S. Navy on the day he turned eighteen and trained as a pilot. After completing his training, he was commissioned an ensign and, at nineteen, became the youngest naval aviator in history up to that point. He was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS San Jacinto, which was fighting in the Pacific theater of World War II. During one battle, his plane was shot down and he was forced to bail out. He was rescued after about four hours adrift in a life raft.
After the war, Bush, who was originally from New England, became a successful businessman in the Texas oil industry, and eventually became a millionaire.
In 1964 Bush first ran for elective office, unsuccessfully challenging Senator Ralph W. Yarborough (D-TX). Two years later, he was elected to represent Texas’s 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He served two terms in the House, and then ran (again unsuccessfully) for the Senate in 1970. After his second Senate loss, President Richard Nixon (R) appointed Bush as the Ambassador to the United Nations, a role he held for two years.
During the Watergate scandal, Bush become the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Initially he defended Nixon, but, as the president’s involvement in the scandal become more clear, Bush formally asked Nixon to resign for the good of both the Republican Party and the nation. Nixon did so about one week later. President Gerald Ford (R) appointed Bush to serve as envoy to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), a role he held for about fourteen months in 1974 and 1975. We did not have formal diplomatic relations with the PRC at the time, so this was not officially an ambassadorship, although it was similar in practice. For the last year of Ford’s presidency, Bush served as the Director of Central Intelligence.
Bush ran for president in 1980, but was defeated in the Republican primaries by future-President Ronald Reagan (R). Reagan ultimately chose Bush as his vice presidential running mate, and Bush served as vice president throughout Reagan’s two terms as president. In 1988, Bush sought the presidency again, and this time won, becoming the first sitting vice president to be elected president since Martin Van Buren in 1836. His presidency was generally regarded as a success, most notably including the first Persian Gulf War, where Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait was successfully reversed. Politically, Bush was generally regarded as a pragmatic, middle-of-the-road Republican. He sought reelection in 1992, but, facing a national recession and a broken campaign promise on taxes, as well as a charismatic opponent, he was defeated by future-President Bill Clinton (D).
George and Barbara Bush had six children, including former Governor Jeb Bush (R-FL) and former President George W. Bush (R).

Just updated. Slips - wow. Martin you are amazing!
Just to let you know that I run Templot on Linux Ubuntu v 16.04 under Wine. The update ran perfectly. Haven't had a chance to test the new features yet, but will let you know if I encounter any issues.
I like the new dialogue box that appears when creating double track on MS or TS. Seeing the track separation is quite useful as is the reminder about increasing the separation on bends. I don't think though you will have intended to be displaying the "cancel crossover" message for this action. I guess that is a carry over from your new make crossover dialogue box that is equally appreciated for the track separation info.
FraserSmith wrote: I don't think though you will have intended to be displaying the "cancel crossover" message for this action. Thanks Fraser.
I spotted and fixed that soon after releasing 215a. It doesn't matter how much testing I do, there is always something which jumps off the screen 5 minutes after it is too late.
I'm hoping to have 215b ready later today. The main change is the option to use the NLS "Find by place" individual map sheets, which cover a much wider range of locations and dates than the georeferenced maps.

Northern Rivers Equine Veterinary Clinic boasts a highly skilled team of equine veterinarians and support staff who are 100% focused on servicing your equine needs. We are committed to the health and welfare of our patients and pride ourselves on providing prompt, reliable, high quality service to all our equine clients. We strongly encourage continuing education for all staff to stay up to date with the latest advances in equine medicine and surgery.
NREVC was established in July 2009 by Dr. Kath McIntosh. It began as a single vehicle ambulatory service providing 100% equine focused veterinarian care to the Kyabram-Echuca area.
Within a few short years, the business grew rapidly and necessitated the addition of another veterinarian, with Dr Clare Williams-Patterson joining the team in March 2011. At this time the clinic began servicing Alabar Bloodstock, providing reproduction services from breeding to foal management. With Kath taking on the Assistant to General Manager post, the clinic also operated out of a satellite surgical facility on the property, allowing more complex services to be added to a growing repertoire. As the general health and reproduction services of the clinic became more renowned, locum veterinarians were also introduced to the practice to accommodate clients’ needs during the busy stud seasons.
Looking to provide a more extensive range of services, the clinic expanded further in 2012 with the addition of the 78 Gray Road property just metres down the road from the original base in Kyabram. Big plans were put in motion to develop the property into a purpose built hospital and agistment facility to complement the ambulatory services provided.
With the rapid expansion of the Gray Road property and an ever expanding client base, March 2013 saw the addition of a third associate veterinarian and a full-time equine nurse and farm manager.
In 2014, a fourth full time veterinarian was added to the team whilst continued development of the Gray Road property saw a total revamp of the surgical facilities with the inclusion of two specially designed state of the art padded knock down boxes. This in combination with sheltered day yards and mare and foal hospital facilities has yet again expanded our range of in house services.
The purpose built property consists of 80 acres of horse safe paddocks, sand yards, outdoor and indoor boxes, crushes and padded surgical knock down boxes.
Paddocks are electrified and sized to run small groups with tree borders positioned for weather protection. All pastures are irrigated and sown to sub and rye grass.
Our purpose built yards, boxes and stalls enable us to accommodate horses of any need from hospitalisation and reproduction through to short or long term agistment.

Restaurant chairs are optimal for establishing outside on a patio area, or maybe for to set outside for your deli look for a place where consumer can consume easily. While wood chairs may feel like an excellent choice of bistro chairs, I do not suggest it, as restaurants are better in numerous circumstances. New age accent chairs fit quite possibly into the modern-day residence, as well as can assist give your home the added accent (as the name suggests) it may require. They often work really will certainly in the living-room, and also can assist create a kicked back ambience with which conversation can be conveniently promoted if you are having guests over.

"The most striking and attractive feature of the Association of Environmental Health and Sciences (AEHS), now the AEHS Foundation, is to provide a forum between the regulated and the regulatory communities for the environmental professionals. That is the reason I go to the West Coast Conference every year. As a regulator, that is the place to share my thoughts and ideas with my peers, to see how other people advance, and to keep myself motivated. I served on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Annual West Coast Conference, and also volunteer myself to serve on the student competition evaluation committee. I also serve as an associated editor for two AEHS Foundation journals. One of the journals, "Soil and Sediment Contamination", was one of the journals I read when I was a graduate student in college. I never thought that one day I would be an associated editor for that journal. AEHS Foundation continues to provide opportunities to advance my professional career."
"I have been involved with AEHS for over 20 years. Through the years, AEHS allowed me to maintain my technological edge as an industry representative, state regulator, and consultant. Thanks to Drs. Paul Kostecki and Edward Calabrese, AEHS gives better than it gets in this very competitive business of the environment. AEHS has survived and prospered through hard times and less hard times, but through it all, AEHS has maintained an eye on the next technical issue deserving thought, study, and public input. AEHS is my best source for today's successes and tomorrow's new solutions."

So the primary reason we see pediatric, little kids, babies, in our office is not just to help them get well, but most importantly to help them stay well. If you have kids, what better gift could you give them than the gift of health, where you know their brain’s functioning at 100 percent, where you know their body’s functioning at 100 percent. The better their body functions, the better they’re going to perform, whether that’s in school, whether that’s in life, whether that’s in a family.
Usually within a few adjustments, ear infections clear up. People with babies with colic, with sleep problems, with allergies, asthma. As they get a little bit older, we see a lot of kids that have sinus problems, weakened immune systems, we get a lot of colds and flus, digestive disorders, asthma, like we said, allergies. The nervous system controls every function in your body. And I think, where I see the biggest changes, kids with attention deficit disorders, ADHDs, dyslexia, learning disabilities.

University of Calgary scientists want the answer to building the perfect running shoe by studying the effects of comfort and its effects on the rates of running-based injuries. Even though the idea of the perfect running shoe has been around for years, modern schools of thought claim that shoe design has no effect on the rate in which running injuries occur.
Advocates of the ‘comfort theory’ suggest that people should just go with footwear that feels best for them. The scientific team still wants willing participants for their study, hoping to learn more through research.
For help with selecting an appropriate shoe size, consult with podiatrist Dr. Henry Slomowitz of Paramus and Paterson. Dr. Slomowitz can measure your feet to determine what your needs are and help you find an appropriate pair of footwear.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office located in Paramus and Paterson, NJ. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot care needs.
A study in Luxembourg focused on runners and their rate of injury. Specifically, the scientists focused on the type of shoes being worn and the intensity rate of the training involved. The study discovered that subjects who switched their shoes reduced the susceptibility of becoming injured by at least 39%.
Researchers say the lowered rate comes from runners reapplying some of the pressure being onto different tissues, creating less strain as opposed to straining the same muscles constantly. "The concomitant use of different pairs of running shoes will provide alternation in the running pattern and vary external and active forces on the lower legs during running activity,” the scientists said.
Choose the right running shoe to prevent injury. If you happened to suffer a foot or ankle injury, see podiatrist Dr. Henry Slomowitz of Paramus and Paterson. Dr. Slomowitz can address your foot and ankle needs.
Different running shoes are worn sometimes for various grounds a runner runs on. However, not all types of running shoes are incredibly unlike one another.
When beginning a new exercise regimen, such as running, it is recommended to seek the care of a podiatrist like Dr. Henry Slomowitz of New Jersey. Dr. Slomowitz will not only provide you with recommendations for the appropriate footwear to use while running, but can also treat and care for all your foot injuries.

By now everyone knows that with the guidelines that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued in 2014, cryptocurrencies are subject to capital gains taxes within the U.S.
However, even with the tax reform that somewhat cleared the implementation on like-kind exchanges for cryptocurrencies, a few important points pertaining to taxes on this particular industry still remain unexplored, and it was reemphasized by a recent development.
In a letter written by the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Taxation, Section Chair Karen Hawkins shed light on a lack of clarity on the instances of hard forks and how they affect a cryptocurrency holder.
Time of realization for the hard forked coin.
The deemed value for the hard forked coin.
The considered holding period resulting after the hard fork.
How “safe harbor” rules can be introduced for users affected by the hard fork and how they should be implemented.
How the need to update the suggested rules should be welcomed by all parties.
After providing suggestions on the aforementioned points, Hawkins and her associates from the ABA mentioned that the points suggested by them are only an initial proposal, and further discussions on them should be held, if need be, in order to develop regulations that help the holders of the cryptocurrencies that resulted from these hard forks.
It remains to be seen how the IRS would react to these suggestions and if they will be implemented properly in the near future.
The three most pressing points from the suggestions are quoted below.
Taxpayers who owned a coin that was subject to a Hard Fork in 2017 would be treated as having realized the forked coin resulting from the Hard Fork in a taxable event.
The deemed value of the forked coin at the time of the realization event would be zero, which would also be the taxpayer’s basis in the forked coin.
The holding period in the forked coin would start on the day of the Hard Fork.
Complete details on the rules can be seen here.
The move by the American Bar Association and crypto taxes is necessary in the growing blockchain based environment as different events like hard forks do constitute value increases for individuals and could be classified in many way. Creating clarity on the matter is of utmost importance if the cryptocurrency industry is to progress further. Incidents like the one that individuals witnessed with Coinbase and the IRS requesting information should not occur on a regular basis.
Crypto taxes have been quite an issue for many a party ranging from regulators to exchanges and traders. Some countries have taken a more lenient stance and approach to the matter of taxes on ICO’s, blockchain based projects and bitcoin buys and sells like Japan and Belarus.
While other countries in Europe have proposed their own different taxation rules.

Whenever you hear the word ‘improvement’, you’ll typically think that something is getting better. However, there’s the matter of something becoming more ‘valuable’ or not as well. And that’s when you have to put your thinking cap on in terms of home improvement specifically. Some questions to ask will be surrounding the idea of value outside of the scope of the ‘improvement’ concept.
Consider the five topics of the home as a whole, the individual return on investment you can expect, if DIYers find value in bonding while doing projects, how your project stacks up in terms of energy efficient, and if there’s a psychological need that’s being satisfied in the mix as well.
Before getting too far into thinking about specific home improvement projects, you need to ask yourself at some point if your home was worth the investment in the first place; just in terms of hard cash flow at first – because if you’re thinking about improving something that won’t increase in value as a whole, then you might want to reconsider that step before you put much time, energy, or money into it.
On top of that idea, look at individual circumstances of home improvement as well. In other words, look into a project like remodeling a bathroom. If you get a quote that says it will cost $5,000 to make it happen, but the value of your home only goes up by $1,000, is this still something that you want to consider? Strictly in terms of value, it’s always important to look at things both from a macro and a micro perspective.
One reason people will take on DIY home improvement projects isn’t strictly for the value of money involved, but also for the bonding experience, or perhaps to learn a new skill or even have a story to tell. Not all value is strictly financial, and that’s an important consideration when planning early on, especially if it’s a project you intend on doing mostly by yourself without professional help.
There are a lot of times when home improvement projects are going to change some of the dynamics of your home in terms of heating and cooling. Especially with remodels that add or subtract windows and doors, be sure you think of energy efficiency during the final stages of planning.
Does It Satisfy a Psychological Need?
And finally, one big considering when it comes to the value of home improvement projects is if the project satisfies some particular kind of psychological need. If by improving your home, you’re also improving your relationships, or improving your chances to live peacefully, then by all means take it on!

Pápai Páriz Ferenc, Album amicorum p. 19.
* This quotation is a paraphrase of Seneca, Epistulae morales ad Lucilium 27.9: “Nunquam nimis dicitur, quod nunquam satis dicitur”.
May this little trifle, as my wishes of a fortunate travel, accompany the eminent, noble and erudite young Ferenc P. Pápai, when setting out to foreign countries for increasing his experiences in the noble science of medicine.
In Vienna of Austria, on September 22, 1711.
The Balku family of Hadház, noblemen of Bihar county, had a bent right arm with banner and club in their blazon. A member of the family, Pál Balku lived in Kővár (Chioar), and was a leader of the anti-Austrian rebels in exile. In 1678 he was Captain of Kővár, and in 1690-93 Lieutenant Captain of Kolozsvár (Cluj). Another member, György Balku was a civil servant at the Chancellery of Transylvania in Vienna in 1695.
Mihály Balku was the secretary of Prince Mihály Apafi II. in Vienna, and after his death a civil servant of the Governorship of Transylvania established in the same city. He died around 1731.
Mihály Balku wrote in the Album on September 22, 1711. According to his note, at this time he was the personal secretary of Prince Mihály Apafi II, who lived in Vienna since the beginning of the Austrian dominancy over Transylvania. Prince Apafi himself wrote in the Album on the following day (p. 35).

When it comes to shopping, January is all about incorporating winter pieces into your wardrobe and taking advantage of deep savings as shops discount their wares after the holidays. This month, we’re mixing it up by highlighting a few boutiques where you can update your home and wardrobe as you ease into the new year.
Busy-Being and Solid Gold are two businesses with separate identities that share the same cool East Side location. Busy-Being owner Amber Abramson curates and sells handcrafted jewelry, fine art and home goods — pieces you can’t find anywhere else in Austin — such as the richly hued prints of horses by Alexandra Valenti and the “friendship bracelet” wall hangings made by local artist Anna Klausmann. Busy-Being also hosts rotating workshops. The next one will be a Reiki Level 1 Certification Workshop on January 19.
Solid Gold carries contemporary women’s clothing and accessories designed by American and European labels, including Mary Meyer, Study NY and Scotch & Soda. This winter, Katie Friedman, Solid Gold's owner, will be expanding the shop’s collection by carrying Blue — a French “ethnic hippy chic” collection by Juan Les Pins. Friedman also plans to debut a few pieces for her in-house ready-to-wear collection later this year.
If you made a resolution to get in better shape this year by running laps around Town Lake, pay Luke’s Locker a visit. You'll find huge discounts on fitness gear right now, and the dedicated staff will help you test out a pair of sneakers that are right for you. If you need some more motivation to get moving, try the shop's regularly scheduled social runs, walks and workouts. This month there’s a Running Form Clinic on Monday, January 13, at 7 pm. Call 469-845-6244 to make an appointment.
Walking into Golden Bones is an experience. Customers often go home with a free golden ring! What sets this boutique apart from others in Austin, besides the fact that it's connected to a salon and an events space, is its steady rotation of contemporary glam and rock 'n' roll attire. This winter, the boutique is exclusively carrying UNIF, a youthful and rebellious label out of Los Angeles. Some of the new lines include Morning Warrior, Lip Service and Crowned Bird. We think Golden Bones' snuggly The Fuzz Oversized Sweater by Outerwear is perfect now that the temperature's dropped. Get an additional 25 percent off when you sign up for the Golden Bones newsletter or by shopping online with the code WINTERSALE.
Need some new jewelry? We adore Sikara's bestselling Classic Swirly Earrings. Sikara & Co. founder Mousumi Shaw draws inspiration from her travels when coming up with concepts for her jewelry. Take, for example, the Desert Print Ring; a gorgeous sterling silver and citrine ring influenced by the camel footprints Shaw saw in Western Rajasthan’s Thar desert. Oh, and Sikara has the perfect gift for men who love the Lone Star State: Silver Texas Cufflinks with Diamonds. The diamonds are placed strategically where Austin is located, but you can custom order them and choose the Texas city where you want the diamonds to be set! Yeehaw!
Feathers is going through some changes! Co-owner Masha Poloskova is leaving the high-end vintage boutique to open a new women’s store, Garment, and Christina Simon, one of the designers behind Alchemy, will join Emily Hoover as new co-owner. The two plan to expand Feathers' in-house retail line, and this month they are rolling out Feathers Home, a mix of vintage and retro-inspired interiors. The home collection includes rugs, ethnic throws, colorful batik pillows and brass trinkets from the Far East. Stop by and pick up a few things to spruce up your home – and grab a pair of suede platform heels while you’re at it!
Co-Star is introducing a designer consignment program this year — just in time for spring cleaning! The South Congress shop, known for its trendy men and women’s clothing, is looking for in-season contemporary lines that fit with Co-Star’s aesthetic. In other words, bring in your gently worn duds by Alexander Wang, Chloe and Jill Sander and leave the mall brands at home. Employees will appraise each piece and keep it for a total of 90 days, selling it for full price during the first month and reducing the price over time. Participants can choose to either receive 45 percent of the selling price in cash or receive store credit for 55 percent of their product’s sale. Even if you can't afford to buy a secondhand pair of Chanel shoes, it's definitely worth popping in to try them on!
This delightful wine bar and home decor shop carries a range of contemporary home furnishings, the kind of items you might find at CB2. This season, one of the cutest items on Aviary's shelf is an oversized lounge rabbit by Fatboy, says owner Marco Fiorilo. He's also excited about carrying local designer Tom Fisher’s side table, hand-joined and made with mixed wood in a natural finish. On the oenophilia side, Fiorilo is touting Camino de los siete lagos gran reserva, a red wine from Argentina; and Domaine berangeraie cuvee maurin cahors, a red wine from France. Every Wednesday, the shop hosts the musical group Continental Graffiti and discounts all of the bottles. Later this year, it'll roll out Cork Dork Nights, which focuses on pairing a specific wine with a complimentary food. “It's a great way to learn about wine and have fun," Fiorilio says.
This vintage men’s shop carries everything a guy needs to layer up this winter. You’ll find shearling-lined vests, pea coats, heavy Pendleton flannels (very of the moment), high school letter jackets á là The Brady Bunch and a boatload of sweaters. Pro tip: While most people know New Brohemia as the place to get cool pearl snap shirts and leather cowboy boots, they don’t know about the shop’s large selection of plus-sized and extra large clothing. Now you know.
With the change of season comes dry air, and that can wreak havoc on skin and hair. Not to worry; Luxe Apothetique has you covered. The ample boutique and apothecary is now carrying Kerastase's newly reformulated Nutritive products, which conditions dry and parched hair. Another great product for the winter is Lalia Hand & Body Cream, a rich moisturizer lightly scented with Norwegian wildflowers. Want to get complexion glowing? Luxe employees rave over GlamGlow, an at-home mask that’s becoming a popular cult product.

It’s looking like Casey will be included in the osteosarcoma vaccine extended field trial expected to start in late April. He needs to complete his Carboplatin chemo and be free of lungs mets, so our fingers are crossed that everything continues as it has. Next X-rays are about three weeks out, so . . .
This question is perhaps better posed in the forums, but for those of you who used Carboplatin, what was the dosage per meter squared and frequency, 2 weeks or 3? Casey had his second dose at two weeks, and depending on blood count, will have his third 19 days later. I’m thinking of just moving him to a 3-week schedule after that as it dovetails nicely with the expected vaccination cycle.
We were 3 weeks. I am not sure of dosage. Good luck!
We did every three weeks to start with. About halfway through, Rocky started to have some low neutrophils counts and then we had to go every four weeks. I’m not sure what the dosage was, but I can look it up.
My Happy Hznnah had osteo and had four rounds of carboplatin every three weeks apart. Nope, don’t know the dose either. Every three seeks is what we usually see around here.
Well . . . he’s not “in” yet, but he’s on the short list, and that is very big news. Now he needs to keep fighting and stay strong until the trial starts.

This tutorial is generated courtesy of Karl Kornel from Stanford Research Computing. The ascii art is amazing, if you don’t care to build Singularity on Debian please scroll down to appreciate it in it’s entirety. Thank you Karl!
NOTE: that an official debian initiative is underway, and this tutorial is for those interested in digging into the build.
This is for people who know what’s going on, and just want help remembering the command sequence.
Releasing an upstream version, with the change in source format, and adding the appropriate backport suffix to the version number.
Singularity is unusual from a Debian perspective, in that the Debian packaging data are part of the upstream repository.
The Debian maintainer is responsible for pulling in code from upstream, adding the debian directory (which includes both metadata, build instructions, and patch files to change code), testing, and building the resulting Debian package(s).
You will always have to make a change of your own, because you need to set the name of the release that you are targeting when you build. The upstream repository is either going to have the release name (like “jessie” or “xenial”) un-set, or will probably have it set to something that you do not want.
Most Debian build infrastructure is used to working from a .tar file containing the pristine (the “orig”) source code. That doesn’t exist here.
To deal with point 1, we do two things: We make a new branch, and we add a commit on that branch which updates the changelog (the release name and version number come from the changelog).
To deal with point 2, we change how Debian deals with the source code: Instead of expecting a source tarball (with the 3.0 (orig) or 3.0 (quilt) source formats), we use an experimental format (3.0 (git)) which simply bundles up the entire Git repo as the source!
First, we make a clone of the upstream repository. That brings in upstream’s branches (like master, 1.x, and 2.x).
We pick a release tag (like 2.1.2) and branch it (making the stanford-2.1.2 branch).
We change some of the stuff in the debian directory, and we tag our changes.
We build our package. The final package includes a copy of the entire Git repository as the source, instead of a .tar file.
The following sections describe each of those four overall steps.
From time to time, you should pull in upstream changes, so that your repository is in sync. Here’s how to do that.
If you are leaving upstream’s branches untouched, then all of the merges should be fast-forward merges. If, however, you are making changes in upstream branches (like master, or 2.x), you should expect either a non-fast-forward merge or a conflict. It’s up to you to deal with them.
When upstream makes a release, we should do the same. Even if we aren’t going to package it, making the release now means that packaging will go faster later!
Next, either switch to the branch you want to build, or check out the tag for the release you want. In this case, we are getting 2.1.2 (which is a tag).
Check debian/source/format, and change it to 3.0 (git).
Check debian/control, and add git to the “Build-Depends” list.
Once those changes are made, commit them.
If you are working from your own Git repository, then you should also change the “Vcs-Git” and “Vcs-Browser” fields in debian/control. You should also add yourself to the “Uploaders” field. Then, once again, commit.
Next, you need to update the changelog. This is what sets the release, and also the version number!
Finally, make a new tag representing your version.
When making the tag, an editor will launch, giving you a space to enter a tag description. Simply re-use the entry you made into debian/changelog (just copy-paste the entire changelog entry, including the header and the date line).
If you don’t have a PGP key, then change -s to -a.
Finally, push everything, and you are ready to build!
At this point, you can either go on to build the package, or you can stop, and the release will remain ready for when you do want to build.
The Debian revision number, which is essentially the version number for the debian directory contents.
Debian derivatives (like Ubuntu) add their own suffix and number, like ubuntu1 or ubuntu2.
If you are building something outside of the normal process, such as a backport (a newer version packaged for a production Debian release) or a test build, you need an additional suffix for that, normally a tilde character followed by something.
Version numbers are evaluated in “parts”, where each “part” is non-digit characters followed by digit characters. So, in the version number 2.1.2-1, the parts are 2, .1, .2, and -1.
Within a part, first the non-numeric portion is compared (using an ASCII sort), and if equal, the numeric portion is compared (using a numeric sort).
In Debian version numbers, the tilde character (~) sorts before everything else, including the empty string.
Because of that exception, if you have a test build (like 2.1.2-1~testFoo+1) or a backport (2.1.2-1~bpo8+1), Debian will treat those versions as being older than a released version (like 2.1.2-1 or 2.1.2-1ubuntu1).
More information is available in the Debian Policy Manual, sections 3.2 and 5.6.12.
Backports (no code changes) for Debian should use the form VERSION-1~sbp8+1, where the 8 is the version number of the Debian release (Debian jessie is version 8).
Backports (no code changes) for Ubuntu should use the form VERSION-1~sbp16.04+1. Similarly, 16.04 is the Ubuntu version.
If we are making actual code changes, we should use a form like VERSION-1stanford1. We should then try to get those code changes applied upstream.
We use a different form for code changes because we want that to remain newer than anything that comes in through Debian/Ubuntu upstream (lest we lose our changes in an upgrade). Since backports don’t have code changes, they are lower-priority.
Once you have a release tagged and pushed, it is time to build the package. Before you start, you have to make a choice: You can either build the package on your own system, or you can use the Debian build service. Either way, the build products are the same.
The easiest way to build Singularity packages is on a system that you’ve already got. On the one hand, you don’t have to maintain a separate infrastructure! However, you will only build for the release that you are running on that system. So, if you’re running Debian wheezy, you’ll only be able to build packages for Debian wheezy.
build-essential is a single package that installs (via dependencies) all of essential things that are required for building Debian packages.
Since we are getting everything from a Git repository, you’ll need to install git.
You only have to do this the first time you build on this system.
That’s it! That one command triggers an entire sequence of commands that will archive the source, build it, package the output, and create ancillary files. The command output is relatively good at explaining what’s going on, so I won’t reproduce or expand on that here.
If you plan on building for a release that is not your own, or you are unable to install all of the build dependencies, then you should use the Debian build server!
Once the release you want is available, build your package!
Instructing cowbuilder to spawn a new COW (copy-on-write) environment, based on the release you specify, and start a root session within the environment.
Identifying any missing build dependencies, and installing them inside the build environment.
Running dpkg-buildpackage, making sure that build products get put in the right place, and owned by you (not by root).
That’s it! You now have stuff that you can install or upload.
The .deb file is your package! You can install this directly with dpkg -i DEB_FILE_PATH.
The .build is a complete log of the steps taken to build your package, as well as the output (standard out and standard error) from those steps. If you are building locally, then this file might only be created if there was a problem. If you are using the build server, this file is always created.
The .git file is your entire Git repository, packed up in a single file. This is known as a Git Bundle.
The .changes file is filled with metadata that is used for uploading a package. It includes information about what package(s) you’re uploading, as well as file sizes and checksums.
The .dsc file is similar to your .changes file, except this file only contains information on the source. This file contains the information that someone else would need to get the source code you used, install the build dependencies, and then build the binary package themselves.
The .dsc and .changes files are normally signed during the package-build process; this gets skipped normally by pdebuild, and gets disabled on dpkg-buildpackage by the -us -uc options. If you plan on uploading these files to a Debian repository, then you should sign them, either manually or using the debsign command.
You’ll be prompted twice, once to sign the .dsc file, then again to sign the .changes file.
That’s it! Once your servers upgrade, they should see the newer package version as an option.

Home animals Black Cat With Vampire-Like Fangs Steals A Woman’s Heart Right After Rescue!
Black Cat With Vampire-Like Fangs Steals A Woman’s Heart Right After Rescue!
Just look at this kitty – not only is he a black cat, but he has his own set of ‘vampire fangs.’ The little kitten ran out in front of a moving car, luckily the woman, Nicole, was able to stop in time. She got out of the car, scooped him up and took him home. He was frail and thin. He had a bad eye infection that was making it hard for him to see.
Nicole gave the kitten a full meal, a much-needed bath, and a lot of love. She was able to nurse him back to health.
The kitten had a wild side and earned the name Monkey (aka Monk). He loved to run around and play, like a little monkey, it just fit.
The next thing that happened was those teeth started to grow! The two canines grew and grew – now he looks like a vampurr!
Nicole said that at first, she tried to find him a home. Then she realized that their meeting must have been divine.
She needed him as much as he needed her. A veterinarian assured Nicole that there was nothing wrong with having long fangs.
Monk’s canine are now his signature feature, and he has quite a following on Instagram (over 23K followers).
One year after Monk was rescued, the family found another black cat saved him too – his name is Bean. The two cats hit it off right away!
Don’t you just love it when a good story comes together!

Quality automotive footwear has a name and it's called Timberland Pro. All Timberland Pro Footwear come with Timberland's 30 Day Comfort Guarantee* - See bottom of page.
What is Safety Toe Footwear?
A durable boot or shoe that has a protective reinforcement in the toe, that can be made of either Steel, Alloy, or Composite material, which protects the foot from falling objects or compression, usually combined with a mid sole plate to protect against punctures. No matter what type you settle on, all safety toe caps are required to pass ANSI, ASTM, and OSHA safety standards.
Steel Toe are made with heavy-duty tempered steel that's then coated with epoxy to resist corrosion, these work boots ASTM impact and compression safety standards. The steel toe work boots are a classic for a reason. For years, steel safety toes have been the old tried and true method for protecting the feet of countless workers on the job. As far as straight impact protection resistance and shear resistance from grinders and chainsaws, steel safety toes offer maximum protection. In fact, most steel toe boots go as far as exceeding ASTM safety standards.
Alloy Safety Toe boots keep your feet protected with lightweight, military-grade aluminum all while meeting ASTM impact and compression safety standards. Alloy safety toe tend to be 30 to 50 percent lighter than steel toes. This means that you can move around freely with less weight attached to your feet.. However, alloy safety boots definitely cost more than steel toes and they will still set off that annoying metal detector at the airport or workplace.

It kills to be lonely. Lacking good friends is roughly as damaging to your health as being obese or smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to research from Brigham Young University. Another study showed people with at least three close buddies at work were 96% more likely to be “extremely satisfied” with their life.
Friends lower your stress, fend off depression, and serve a hundred other important functions. But plenty of people find themselves out of touch with their old friends (it was a lot easier to meet people in college), and without adequate replacements.
So how do you go about making a new pal? More importantly: How do you do it without being a weirdo?
2. Find a new community.
Good friendships tend to form around shared experiences, similar interests, or both, Bonior says. That’s why work and school are such natural places to make acquaintances. (If you and another guy are in the same office or college, you already have one big thing in common, Bonior explains.) But if you need to meet people outside of those communities—say, you just moved to a new city—you need to find some new groups to join, Bonior stresses. She suggests making a list of your hobbies. Music? Sports? Movies? Whatever you’re passionate about, find some type of gathering that revolves around those interests, like open mic nights, intramural sports teams or CrossFit classes, film societies, and alumni mixers. “Follow your own interests, and you’re bound to meet people like yourself,” Bonior says.
3. Put in the work.
It’s nearly impossible to form a bond when you’ve only just met someone. Friendship researchers call this “the exposure effect,” or the idea that merely being exposed to someone over and over again breeds familiarity and affinity. This exposure effect is another reason regular group get-togethers are ideal friend-forming scenarios. So you shouldn’t try to latch-on to a new buddy until you and he have run into each other and chatted at least three or four times, Bonior stresses.
Also important: showing up. Sitting on your couch and watching TV may seem a lot more enticing than heading across town to that happy hour. But if you want to meet new people, you have to make the most of every opportunity, says Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project.
4. Ask questions—and remember the answers.
You’ve gabbed with the guy a few times, and you feel like he could be a buddy. Now the really awkward part: proposing a meet-up outside of wherever you two normally run into each other. Again, group settings like bars will feel less threatening than a one-on-one situation, Bonior says. Try planning a barbeque or bar night with some other people you know, and invite your new acquaintance to join in.
If that’s not an option, here’s a last-ditch idea: Buy two tickets to a game or concert—something you and your prospective pal are both interested in that’s happening soon. Then tell the guy you got the tickets for free and can’t find a tag-along on such short notice. “This kind of accident of chance is a good way to arrange that first real outing,” Bonior promises.

Carlos Alberto Gomes Parreira (born February 27, 1943, in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian football manager.
Parreira supports Fluminense, and he has won two important League titles for the club: The First Division Brazilian Championship in 1984 and the Third Division in 1999. About the latter title, Parreira has said that this was personally the most important trophy of his career, even more so than Brazil's World Cup triumph, as the club he loved was facing near-bankruptcy and became very close to extinction at the time. He is regarded as a hero by Fluminense's supporters.
Parreira is noted for having been one of only two coaches that has led four national teams to the World Cup: Kuwait in 1982, United Arab Emirates in 1990, Brazil in 1994 and 2006, and Saudi Arabia in 1998. The other coach, Bora Milutinovic, surpassed this record when he led a fifth team in 2002. He was also involved to some extent with the 1970 championship team for Brazil, which he claims was an inspiration for him to aspire to be a national football coach. Parreira is on course to equal this record come June 2010 as he will guide the Bafana Bafana in the 2010 finals on home soil.
In 1997, Parreira coached the MetroStars of the American Major League Soccer. He also coached Fenerbahçe in Turkey and won a Turkish League Championship. Parreira was also in charge of Corinthians in 2002, which gave him two of the most important national trophies of 2002: The Brazilian Cup and the Torneio Rio-São Paulo, besides being runner up at the Brazilian League.
When coaching Saudi Arabia at the 1998 World Cup in France, he was fired after two matches, one of two managers to be sacked during the tournament.
Parreira repeatedly turned down offers to coach Brazil again between 1998 and 2002 World Cups. In end of 2000, when the team was in turmoil after firing Vanderlei Luxemburgo, he refused the post, stating that he did not want to relive the stress and pressure of winning the World Cup again. There were public cries again to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari for Parreira in July 2001 when Brazil lost two matches to Mexico and Honduras in its title defense at the 2001 Copa America in Colombia, specially after the last minute invitee (replacing Argentina who dropped out one day before the kickoff) Honduras defeated 2-0 and eliminated the favorite Brazil in quarterfinals round on July 23, 2001. Through this time period, Parreira, only stated that he would indirectly assist Scolari in 2002 campaign. After the 2002 World Cup, Parreira took part in drafting a technical report of the tournament. He was named coach along with Mario Zagallo as assistant director in January 2003, with the goal of defending their World Cup title in Germany 2006, but on July 1, 2006 the favorite Brazil was defeated and eliminated 0-1 by France in quarterfinals.
After Brazil's exit from the World Cup, Parreira was heavily criticisized by the Brazilian public and media for playing an outdated brand of football and not using the players available to him properly. Parreira subsequently resigned on July 19, 2006. He coached Brazil to victory in the 1994 FIFA World Cup and was the coach of the South Africa national football team until resigning in April 2008. On October 22, 2009 it was announced he will return as head coach of the South Africa national football team. He announced a verbal agreement with the South African Football Association on October 23, 2009.

Palm Sunday is a Mass of contrasts. There is the exhilaration and exuberance of the Palm Procession; the congregation enters the church, as did the people of the Gospel, waving palms and chanting “Hosanna: Lord save us now!” But as soon as the Mass begins, one notices by way of contrast a scaled-down Mass of simplicity, and at the heart of that Mass is the solemn proclamation of the Passion Gospel. This is chanted on Palm Sunday to ancient tones, a moving reminder, like the other ancient tones of the liturgies of Good Friday and the Great Vigil of Easter, of the fact that, for nearly 2,000 years, people have sung these words to these notes in commemoration of these events. The Mass of the Passion on Palm Sunday seems to set us up for the tone of Holy Week.
The Triduum Sacrum This is one liturgy in three parts, one liturgy that covers three days. Act I is the liturgy of Maundy Thursday, Act II is the liturgy of Good Friday, and the final Act of the Triduum, Act III, is at the Great Vigil and First Mass of Easter on the night of Holy Saturday. This is one seamless commemoration and sacramental moment. To that end, the recent custom at St. Paul’s is to have the same celebrant and the same preacher for the three Acts, to underscore the unity of the liturgy as a whole. In the celebration of the Triduum, one would, in three days, participate in the essentials of the Christian faith and proclamation. Indeed the liturgies of the Triduum draw us in, not to a mere commemoration of these events, but to a sacramental participation in these redeeming events.
The Rite of Maundy Thursday, beginning with all the joy and rapture of a usual Solemn Mass with white vestments and flowers on the altars, ends with the altars stripped, the church bare and, emanating from the Angel Chapel—where the presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament reposes in an amazing garden—a glow and warmth draws us into the presence of the Lord. Then, we keep the watch for a full twenty-four hours, following the invitation of the Lord to his disciples, “Would you not watch with me for one hour?” In order to meet the devotional needs of those who maintain this remarkable watch each year, we extend the watch through Good Friday until 6:45 p.m., when, as it were, we turn the clocks back in our hearts and minds until the hours of noon to three, the hours of the Lord’s agony and death.
The Solemn Liturgy of Good Friday is of ancient origin and of extraordinary power. The very first action of the liturgy is striking: the sacred ministers enter in silence and prostrate themselves on the floor before the bare altar. This ritual gesture is unique in the Christian year and underscores the profundity and indeed sadness and humility that accompany the commemoration of these tragic yet saving events. At the heart of the Liturgy of the Word is the solemn chanting of the Gospel of the Passion, followed by the remarkable Solemn Collects, bringing into our commemoration of the work of the cross the needs of the church and the world. The ritual action here reflects the practice of the early church, with the Deacon bidding the congregation to pray and to “arise,” and the tones for these prayers are unique in the course of the year and also of ancient origin. The cross is then brought in for veneration and lifted up and unveiled for us by the Deacon as we “behold the wood of the cross,” and we fall to our knees and worship. Then, two by two, we bring ourselves literally to the foot of the cross and expose ourselves and our sins in all our vulnerability to the vulnerability of the Lord, whereby the place of death will become the place of resurrection and new life.
The Great Vigil of Easter is the most significant liturgy of the Christian year. This liturgy, on the evening of Holy Saturday, also has ancient ritual and chant. A great fire is lit at the back of the church. From that fire, the Paschal candle is lit, and as the fire dies down, the single flame of the Paschal candle dispels the darkness of the church, which had been a place of death when we last entered it, and the warmth of the fire and the candles dispel the coldness of loss, tragedy, and death, as new life emerges among us and within us by the light and power of the Resurrection. The Deacon proclaims ”The light of Christ,” proceeding down the nave to the choir steps, and the Deacon makes that proclamation in the exact same places where the cross was lifted up the previous evening. Thus, literally the place of death and darkness becomes the place of life and light. There follows the great hymn to the resurrection—again an ancient text set to an ancient tone—the Exsultet—sung in the light of the resurrection and celebrating that light. There then follows a series of Old Testament readings, read within the light of that resurrection candle—that is the Hebrew scriptures, seen in the light of Christ as we trace together God’s ancient story of love and call and redemption down the ages. Into this great story of redemption and salvation we then bring those who are to be baptized as well as those who are to be confirmed, received and to reaffirm their baptismal vows. As was the ancient practice, the Bishop presides at this liturgy and the Bishop will baptize, confirm, receive, and receive reaffirmations of baptismal vows. As we who witness these sacramental rites are also reaffirming our own baptismal vows, so we, too, may be changed and transformed. And then the great moment is the First Mass of Easter, when with literally great fanfare and explosion of light and sound, the First Mass of the Resurrection is gloriously announced and unfolds in a polyphony of alleluias and thanksgivings!

With all of this baby Prince talk (welcome home, George!), it's easy to look over another royal family so near and dear to our hearts: the Kennedys. Today, President Obama nominated Caroline Kennedy — attorney, philanthropist, best-selling author, and of course, former first daughter — as U.S. ambassador to Japan. This was a brilliant move by Obama to reward Kennedy for her help on his both his 2012 and 2008 campaigns, the latter of which was over Hillary Clinton. This was her first and only time she's publicly endorsed a presidential candidate since her uncle Ted Kennedy ran in 1980.
Okay, you caught us: We might be gushing a bit, but that's because Caroline Kennedy is more fit for a career in politics than almost anyone, regardless of her prominent familial ties. The role of U.S. ambassador to Japan is a daunting one, as maintaining, and further, strengthening the Asian tie is a key element in foreign affair policy. After more than 30 years in law and public policy, we can't say there's a better candidate for the job than her.
