Resetting the Table: Building a Culture of Dialogue on Israel with Facilitator - Melissa Weintraub on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at the GMJF in Miami, Fla.
Need to Reset PMU? The iMac was a dramatic departure from mainstream computer design. The design of the first generation of the iMac has been credited to Jonathan Ive, currently Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple. It was the first computer to ship with out a floppy drive and was equip exclusively with USB port standard. The slot-loading iMac G3 began shipping in late 1999 with additional DV (Digital Video) designation. This version had FireWire, CD-RW/DVD-ROM, 500 Mhz Processor atop the new "Pangea" motherboard with a 16MB ATI Rage 128 Ultra graphics chip. The 2001 series was available in indigo, graphite, and snow with either the 500, 600, or 700MHz (PPC750CXe) processor.
This is a chore which I have to perform twice a year - quite unnecessarily in my opinion. We could have British Standard Time which would be the same all the year round, as we did in the early seventies. But Scottish farmers objected - why I can't think since their cows can't tell the time!
To take this photo with my iPhone I set it on Gorillacam to use the timer, then I balanced the 'phone on the edge of the upper oven door with a bit of blu-tac to hold it and leant it against my forehead - then I could use both my hands to show how I have to reset the clock on the cooker.
(Only after taking the photo did I notice how grimy the knurled knob is - better clean it :)
All Saints, Drinkstone, Suffolk
You leave Woolpit, a good village with a famous church, and head into the hills, passing two windmills, both now without sails but majestic still in the early spring sunshine. Eventually you come down into Drinkstone. The infant River Blackbourn runs alongside the village street, and you cross it and climb up to All Saints.
The setting is lovely; the church sits above the road on a soft cushion of green, the old school beside it. The red-brick tower is elegant and tall, and it might surprise you learn that it is neither medieval or Victorian. It was one of the earliest Suffolk towers built specifically to accommodate recreational bell-ringing, dating as it does from the last years of the 17th century, when this sport was beginning to take off. We know it was built at the behest of the Rector Thomas Cambourne, who also paid for the bells; a plaque remembering this is set in the west wall of the tower. It is interesting to compare Drinkstone's tower with earlier Tudor red-brick towers like Hemley and Charsfield, and later 18th century ones ones like Grundisburgh and Cowlinge. It has more in common with the former than the latter, except that here there are classical louvred arches, perfectly designed for the bells to sound out from. If it looks more medieval than it is then it may be because of the lancet in the base stage, part of an 1860s upgrading by Edward Hakewill, whose trademark, a quatrefoil clerestory, is also in evidence above the aisles, looking very like the same thing at his Thurston across the A14. He appears to have raised the nave roof, or at least the angle at which it cuts into the tower, because this now looks rather awkward. If so, the east wall of the nave must also be his; the east window certainly is, and that whole face of the chancel has been rebuilt.
I find it hard to warm to Hakewill's work; his introduction of high gloom into the churches he restored seems intentional, and is often coupled with low aisles that only increase the austerity. Luckily, the great aisles here make the nave as wide as it is long, and I stepped in to a feeling of lightness. The great tower arch contains a modern ringing chamber in light wood, which looks splendid, and suggests that Cambourne's work is still very much appreciated.
The font is set against a pillar in the south arcade in the traditional manner, and is one of those arcaded octagonal fonts you find mainly in the east of the county, usually made from Purbeck marble. Or, at least, it appears to be, but I couldn't help wondering if it was actually an older, square font that had been cut down and decorated by someone locally. It just doesn't have the same finish as other fonts in this style.
The benches are Victorian, and there are some hefty bench end carvings. Mortlock thought they might be from the studio of the great Ipswich woodcarver Henry Ringham, whose work is much in evidence up the road in Woolpit, but I wasn't so sure. They don't seem to me to be of the usual delicacy of his work. The dove with an olive branch, for example, looks more like a chicken.
There are also a couple of medieval bench ends at the back, and they repay more than a passing glance. Although the bench ends are very badly damaged, they both have carvings on them. One is an angel who has had his front neatly sliced off, presumably by an iconoclast to eradicate the design on his shield, while the other is a version of the carving at Blythburgh which is often referred to as 'scandal' - a face carved into the poppyhead with an outstretched tongue. Two smaller heads look out below. There is another like it near here at Bradfield St George.
Despite being repainted, the roodscreen is beautiful, the upper tracery boiling like lace into the air. The roodloft stairway set in the north wall beside it is one of the most complete in Suffolk, retaining all its original steps and even the handrail. There is a very curious stone platform stretching west of here. Today it is used for the lectern, but it may have been part of a tombchest originally, or even what Mortlock calls a preaching platform. It is certainly very unusual.
The family at Drinkstone Hall for many years were the Grigbys, and they've left their mark here. Two matching, elegant 18th century memorials with urns on flank the vestry door, with a simpler one above. But more interesting are two memorials in the nave. Thomas Grigby was killed in the Peninsula war of 1811. On board a transport bound for Cadiz, he was run down by the Franchise frigate off Falmouth and perished together with 233 souls. Almost forty years later, during the Indian Mutiny, the fourth son of the Rector John Peloquin Cosserat was shot in the mouth by a musket ball while commanding his regiment the first Punjaub Cavalry against the rebels at Koorsee, an incident which seems to have stepped out of the pages of The Siege of Krishnapur.
A curiosity in the chancel is a scattering of reset and heavily restored medieval glass. In the upper lights on the south side are angels of the Precious Blood swinging censers. A 19th Century Christ in Majesty is at the top, but the two figures either side may be from a crucifixion originally, On the left are two Marys (one peeps from behind the other) and on the other a figure who is probably John. Although heavily restored, enough survives to show that these figures are in a 14th Century style, although they appear to be 15th Century. Opposite is a Madonna and Child with modern heads.
As you can see, All Saints is full of interest. It doesn't wear its heart on its sleeve, and there must be very few of the many hundreds who visit Woolpit every year who ever make it down the road to here.

An Observer Controller Trainer with U.S. Army Europe’s Joint Multinational Training Command resets the DISE of soldiers with the Slovenian Armed Forces following a raid Situational Training Exercise during Immediate Response 2012 held at the Slunj Training Area 31 May. Immediate Response 2012 is a multinational tactical field training exercise that will involve more than 700 personnel primarily from the U.S. Army Europe’s 2nd Calvary Regiment and Croatian armed forces, with contingents from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Slovenia. Macedonia and Serbia will send observers to the exercise. The exercise is a part of U.S. European Command's joint training and exercise program designed to enhance joint and combined interoperability between the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and partner nations, and will help prepare participants to operate successfully in a joint, multinational, interagency, integrated environment.

Learn more about repairing, upgrading or working on your PowerMac at www.macusersguide.com/help-desk/. Resetting the PMU is a bit tricky on a PowerMac G4 Cube. You will need to remove the APG graphic card first by locating the three screws holding it in place. You will need a Torx 10 screw driver for this.
