I have a really strange issue again with Internet Explorer. I was using the online tutorial "Tutorial: Get Started with Entity Framework 6 Code First using MVC 5" (which can be found on at MVC) and on a lot of the code windows that are highlighted I cannot see the code. Attached graphic is what I get. I have tried talking to Microsoft and all I really have received is that they can't view the image that I sent them. What gets me is I can go back at a later time and I can see all the code and then there are other code windows with highlighted text that I cannot read. Has anyone else experienced this sort of issue with Internet Explorer? What really gets me is the silent treatment I have received from Microsoft, I would not mind them telling me that they don't know what the issue is.

I can't recall specifically any similar problem, no.
I did have some unexpected problems with a website in FireFox; problems which didn't appear in IE, Chrome or Edge. Finally, I deleted the cached cookies for that website from FireFox, and the problem went away.
Two things come to mind to try.
1) Try this using other browsers. Same problem in FireFox, Chrome or Edge?
2) Try cleaning out your cache for this tutorial site from IE.

Hi LeeAnn,
Have you tried viewing the page in a different browser? I'm using Vivaldi and the code all renders fine.
Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you try learning the newer technology suggested in the note at the top of the page?

I was told to learn MVC here as a starting point. And I tried Chrome and Firefox and they work, but I would rather use IE. Even Edge has the problem so it has something to do with Microsoft web browsers displaying a page Microsoft created? I have tried cleaning out the cache and that did nothing. So I assume you all looked at the website in IE and it worked for you? If so then I will just take it there is something funky on my machine. But what I am really disappointed is that Microsoft is aware of the issue but I am currently getting the silent treatment (I think maybe they are perplexed as I am and maybe hope that I will go away). And this is not the only page on their site that I have had issues with, There was another page that dealt with MVC and I had the same issues, not being able to see the text in the highlighted areas. But if you all can respond back to me that you all can see the data in those boxes I will just have to use the other browsers. Sort of makes be a little irked but I can live with it. I had hoped maybe it is a setting somewhere I am missing and one of you would know.
Thanks for the help. Please let me know if you all can see the code in IE or not.

LeeAnn, you must be the last person using IE!
My windows box only has Edge on it. The code boxes seemed to work fine, even the ones with yellow backgrounds.
However, even MS has given up on Edge in this incarnation and are on the verge of releasing a new Chrome-based version.
Someone else will have to check IE for you.
I can't say I'm surprised you don't get any response from MS. Especially when it comes to IE which I think they wish would quietly remove itself from existence!

Here at work we still use IE, but it also happens in Edge. If they are going to release a Chrome based version I will jump for joy. That might fix some other issues I have with IE and Edge. So I am fine with the issue and will just take a shill pill. Had to do that once today already, I opened a can of worms earlier here and it was a circus. I do enjoy my work, I can laugh about most stuff that goes on.
Thanks for the help everyone and have a great Hump Day... might consider getting me some more

Last year, Nokia launched its first Symbian^3 based handset the Nokia N8. The phone was heavily criticized for its poor web-browser, outdated UI and its disastrous text input system. Nokia had promised that they will release a new firmware for the N8 in January or early February which will improve some of the heavily criticized aspects of the phone.
Now, reports are coming in that the PR1.1 (v13.015) firmware for the N8 is under the final stages of testing before being rolled out to the public.
However, some folks over at the DailyMobile.se forums have managed to get their hands on this upcoming firmware for the N8. The PR1.1 firmware was listed on NaviFirm from where many users downloaded and flashed it on their N8. One user has even posted a video of the firmware in action on the N8.
Here is the video of PR1.1 firmware running on the Nokia N8-:
Users who flashed the firmware on their handset are reporting an improved browser performance and a more responsive music player. The overall performance of the handset and the RAM management have also improved. The Gallery app on the phone also seems to work a bit smoothly now.
Even though the browser performance has improved, it still crashes intermittently. Readers can also find a video of the browser speed test on the Nokia N8 running PR1.1 firmware here.
Nokia has promised more changes for the N8 including UI updates along with a web browser and text input overhaul in the upcoming firmware updates.

Performed by...
Peter Linz
First appearance...
The Muppets (2011), first seen in "Green With Envy" teaser trailer
Most recent appearance...
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
Best known role...
The world's biggest Muppet fan.
Famous quote...
"Your fans haven't left you, the world hasn't forgotten! Sure, it's impossible, but we have to try! It's time to play the music..."
Walter is one of the first new major Muppet characters in 15 years. Walter's first major role of any sort was playing himself in The Muppets (2011). In the movie, Walter plays the world's biggest Muppet fan and brother of Gary (Jason Segel). Walter started out life feeling like he didn't belong because he was small and... well, his other differences are a little fuzzy. When Walter first saw the Muppets watching an episode of The Muppet Show with his brother, he became elated in seeing people who were like him for the first time, and thus, Walter's love for the Muppets began.
Walter's life truly took a turn for the incredible when his brother Gary invited him to go to Los Angeles with he and his girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) and visit The Muppet Studios and The Muppet Theater. While on the tour of the studio, Walter discovers the nefarious plan of oil baron Tex Richman, and runs away screaming (see right). Walter convinces Gary and Mary to help him find Kermit the Frog so he can save the studio and the theater from Richman's desire for "Oil, see, sweet, sweet oil!"
When Walter found Kermit's house, he was so desperate to get in to tell Kermit about Richman's plan, that he was ready to be thrown into an electric fence for his hero--twice. As Kermit returned home to find his three guests, all it took was one "Hi-ho" for Walter to completely pass out. A true Muppet fan if there ever was one.
Once he finds Kermit, and does a little fan-boy convincing, Walter embarks on the most incredible journey of his life, joining alongside Kermit to help reunite the rest of the Muppets and put on one big show to save the theater and the Muppets. In fact, it takes Walter's love and admiration to convince Gonzo to return to the stage where he belongs. After the Muppets were back together, Walter assisted in cleaning The Muppet Theater, acting as a sponge at then end of Fozzie Bear's broom handle.
With the theater cleaned and the show being planned, Kermit asks Walter if there's an act he would be able to perform on the show. Walter panics, telling Kermit that he doesn't have a talent--at least not a talent as great as the rest of the Muppets. Can Walter find his talent and help save The Muppet Studios and The Muppet Theater? Will he find where he truly belongs? Go see The Muppets today and find out for yourself!
Walter is the first major Muppet character performed by longtime puppeteer and Muppeteer Peter Linz. Peter, along with four additional performers, auditioned for the role of Walter early in the development stages of the movie. In a New York Times interview, Peter recounts the audition, "I did fine, but it was something of a nightmare from a puppeteer's standpoint. The guy who auditioned before me was a profuse sweater—I mean, just profuse—and so Walter was soaking wet and cold when I got him." This just goes to show that a little hard work and sweat (not necessarily yours) get you places in this industry. Peter has performed Walter for numerous promotional appearances and will continue to perform Walter when he (hopefully) returns for future Muppet projects.
Walter is a wonderful addition to the already fantastic cast of Muppets because he represents an area of the Muppet world never before explored on screen: the Muppet fan. Walter is one of us. He's you and me... the only difference is, he's actually Muppet, and he's living the dream we all wish we could be living. But that's what makes Walter so great... we can live vicariously through him. This is why we relate to him so deeply in The Muppets, because we are Walter. All of us. We may as well just start calling Muppet fans "Walters" from now on. Walter is endearing, charming, adorable, and hilarious and I for one sincerely hope that he sticks around for a long time. The character that Peter Linz has brought to life is unbelievably delightful and impossible not to love, and I'm so glad that Walter was chosen to headline this new movie... because he's perfect.
But why do the Muppets need Walter, you ask? Because Walter reminds the Muppets of why they do what they do. Walter gives the Muppets hope that someone, somewhere loves their work and appreciates their talents. The Muppets need Walter for the exact same reason they need us: because he keeps them going. Walter reminds the Muppets why singing, and dancing, and making people happy is so noble. He reminds them why they should write their own endings. The Muppets need Walter because he needs them. It's a beautiful relationship based on love and amazement, and it plays out so perfectly in The Muppets that you will sincerely wonder if Walter was modeled after you.
Welcome to the Muppet world, Walter. We're so glad to have you.

Pacers' Hill scores winner in closing seconds
George Hill scored the go-ahead basket with two seconds left, completing the Indiana Pacers' rally for a 90-88 season-opening win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
David West scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and Paul George had 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Pacers, who trailed 84-74 with just under six minutes left. Roy Hibbert added 14 points for Indiana.
Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 21 points, and Jonas Valanciunas had 12 points and 10 rebounds in his NBA debut. Andrea Bargnani had 16 points, and Jose Calderon added 15 for the Raptors.
West scored on back-to-back possessions to make it 84-78 with 4:47 left and, following a layup by Lowry, converted a jump hook. Hill made a 3-pointer, and West followed with a turnaround bank shot to cut it to 86-85 with 2:38 remaining.
Lowry made two shots from the foul line, but West then hit an open jumper, and Hill tied it at 88 with 59 seconds left by making one of two free throws.
After DeMar DeRozan missed a layup, Hill misfired on a jumper at the other end, and the ball was knocked out of bounds. After checking the replay, the officials gave the ball to Indiana. Hill let the clock wind down before driving for the go-ahead hook shot.
The Raptors gave the ball to Bargnani, but his jump shot came up short as the game ended, silencing the capacity crowd of 19,800 and spoiling Toronto's opening night.
Hill started for Indiana despite missing the entire preseason because of a left thumb injury and a right hip pointer. He finished with eight points, six coming in the final 3:16.
DeRozan finished with 10 points.
Indiana played without forward Danny Granger, the team's leading scorer the past five seasons, who is sidelined indefinitely with soreness in his left knee. Granger is scheduled to seek a second opinion as he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained during last spring's Eastern Conference semifinals. He aggravated the injury during the preseason.
George scored 10 points in the first quarter, and Hibbert had nine to help give the Pacers a 27-25 lead after the opening period. Lowry scored eight points in the second quarter, and Calderon added seven to help Toronto get into a 48-48 halftime tie.
Valanciunas had six points and six rebounds in the first six minutes of the third as Toronto used a 10-0 run to open a 64-53 lead. The Raptors carried a 71-63 lead into the fourth.
NOTES: Bargnani started for Toronto despite missing two days of practice with flu-like symptoms. ... Raptors coach Dwane Casey dropped to 3-1 in season openers ... DeRozan stood at center court to deliver a brief pregame address. ... Former Blue Jays outfielder Joe Carter attended the game.

On June 8-14, member countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) held a joint military exercise, Peace Mission 2012, at the Chorukh-Dayron training range in Sughd Province, northern Tajikistan. According to the Tajik Ministry of Defense, the exercise was designed to test and strengthen the capacity of the SCO member states to respond jointly to terrorist threats in Central Asia's mountainous areas.
Around 2,000 troops from China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan took part in the week-long drills. Chinese forces participating in the exercise included a motorized infantry company and an artillery unit. Russia dispatched some 350 troops reinforced by armored personnel carriers and tanks from the 201st Military Base in Tajikistan, and ground attack aircraft from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) base in Kant, Kyrgyzstan. Kazakhstan contributed a battalion from an air assault brigade, as well as fighter jets, combat helicopters, and armored personnel carriers. Kyrgyzstan sent a Special Forces unit and a mountain warfare company. Tajikistan's forces participating in the drills included an air assault unit, a motorized rifle battalion reinforced with tanks, military transport helicopters, and personnel from the Ministry of Emergencies. This was the smallest Peace Mission drills staged by the SCO since 2003.
Because the exercise was staged in Tajikistan, it was led by the Tajik Ground Forces Commander, Major General Emomali Sobirov. The host country's president, Emomali Rahmon, attended the training ground on June 14 to observe the final stage of the exercise. Playing good hosts, the authorities in Dushanbe hailed Peace Mission 2012 as a "success" and praised the "increasing spirit of cooperation" within the SCO.

MY RIDE- Dennis Mazur: 1999 Lincoln Town Car
"If you're driving long distances, this is the best car you can buy," Dennis Mazur advises about his 1999 Lincoln Town Car. While he isn't a car salesman, he could be an asset to any Lincoln dealership thanks to his glowing endorsement of the sizable luxury sedan. Since he drives between 80,000 and 90,000 miles a year, owning a dependable car is critical.
The Town Car's 4.6-liter, eight-cylinder engine and automatic transmission, he says, make it his motor match. It's not the first Town Car Mazur has owned, and in the past he's racked up more than 350,000 miles before getting a new one. He logs most of those miles between his homes here and in Knoxville,Tennessee. It's a five-hour drive, but while he used to fly for business and for traveling back and forth between cities, these days he prefers the roads over the unfriendly state of the skies.
"After 9/11 and all the delays in airports these days," says Mazur, "I'd just as soon get in my car and go."

The month of June is a great time to be a bike journo at Singletrack. As well as the first round of 2015 product launches, we've got events in all disciplines cramming the calendar, the weather is mostly ace and to top it all off, our 90th issue goes on sale on 26th June too!
The rundown of the contents follows after the Big Yellow Button – if you're not a subscriber (and if not, why not? 😉 ), hit it now and place your pre-order. We'll send your magazine out as soon as the UPS guy delivers it to us next week.
Pre-order your copy now!
Here's what's in issue 90's lovely printed pages (and all its digital ones too)…
Haruki 'Harookz' Noguchi grabbed the cover shot in Squamish, B.C, with Curtis Robinson, Matty Miles and Kyle Norbraten kicking up dust on their way to a cold IPA at ride's end. Lush.
Steve and Barney hit up a Lakeland classic for a day of riding in the sunshine, with beer and pies. Out of office? Absolutely.
What happens when two mountain bike journalists get hitched and want a 'different' honeymoon? They ride across a Croatian mountain range, of course…
If you've been hiding under a rock for the past fortnight then you may have missed just how awesome the Tweedlove festival was. Never fear, though – Sam Needham and Dave captured the best bits for your pleasure.
More Sam Needham content, in conjunction with Pete Scullion, Withnail and Renton. This time the brothers get grim.
Even pro riders need holidays! Dan Atherton and Hans Rey hit up the big mountains (deckchairs optional).
Salter Fell's a fell we know well but we've never seen it like this before (or indeed tried to say that rapidly on #drinkbeeratyourdeskfriday). Beate and her sketchbook take on a long ride home.
This issue's bike test looks at trail bikes from Ibis, Pivot and Rocky Mountain, so we thought it only fitting – and sensible – to grouptest as many knee pads as we could get our hands on, too*. Elsewhere there's a tasty array of Grinder products ground to bits and seasoned with the traditional selection of chewy columns, delicious photography and pithy commentary on the state of the mountain bike nation. Ahem.
*No Singletrack staffers were harmed in the writing of this feature.

Last Week
Life has felt very good this last week. Quiet time mixed with family time mixed with lunches with friends, basketball games, company in our home, church, work, etc.
Friday I ran errands, grocery shopped, and met my friend for lunch.
Friday night we went to to a basketball game at the kid's school.
Addison and Rory cheering.
Saturday was spent cleaning, then I attended a craft night at a local church. I might have nearly burned my fingerprints off with the glue gun many times over, but I managed to make all of these.
Sunday we had 22 people for dinner. Yes, 22 people in my little living room and kitchen. There's a large group of local college students who attend and help out and they came over Sunday afternoon. I made sloppy joes for the first time in my life, and if the number of sandwiches eaten is any indication, they were a hit.
I might have crashed about 4:30 yesterday after the last student was gone and house back in shape.
Today is full of just normal mom and wife duties with a little Project Life catch-up thrown in. Sounds pretty good, right?

JOE AMARANTE: Weeks after slayings, violent films lead box office
Well, at least the word "massacre" isn't in the title. But "Texas Chainsaw 3D" was the top movie in box office receipts nationally this weekend.
And that just feels wrong in Connecticut, where nerves are still frayed after the real-life mass slaying at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The sixth horror film in the Leatherface/chainsaw slayer franchise scored an estimated $23 million in box office business on its opening weekend, exceeding expectations and besting "Django Unchained," another violent film, at an estimated $20 million.
That bloody Quentin Tarantino film has grossed $106 million through 13 days, and Tarantino didn't enjoy being asked about "Django's" blood quotient in light of Newtown recently, according to a published report.
National Public Radio's Terry Gross asked Tarantino if, "after the massacre," referring to the Sandy Hook tragedy, he ever loses his "taste for movie violence?"
No, he said. "Would I watch a kung fu movie three days after the Sandy Hook massacre? Maybe, because they have nothing to do with each other."
Gross said he sounded annoyed. "Yea, I'm really annoyed," he responded. "I think it's disrespectful to their memory ... the issue is gun control and mental health."
An editor at Boxoffice.com said Sunday night that the weekend results could not be broken down by state, so it's unknown how big an audience the two films drew in Connecticut's roughly eight dozen theaters.
But it's safe to say that violent entertainment continues unchecked in America in the new year.
The Newtown horror occurred just two days before the season finale of "Homeland" on Showtime, in which a car bomb wipes out an entire memorial service filled with government officials. The episode, paired with Showtime's serial killer show "Dexter," scored record ratings the same night as the Newtown interfaith vigil with President Barack Obama.
Violent entertainment wins in this country, especially with young moviegoers. The box office report notes that the audience breakdown for "Texas Chainsaw 3D" skewed heavily toward the under-25 age group, at 64 percent, although the L.A. Times points out many went to see musical artist Trey Songz in the film .
Rounding out the top five films in earnings this weekend were "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," with $17.5 million, "Les Miserables," with $16.1 million (its domestic total exceeded $100 million) and "Parental Guidance," at $10.1 million.
The thing about TV and movie violence, its producers point out, is that it's not all that dangerous to well-adjusted viewers. Unless you consider the desensitization and tolerance for ultra-violent weapons.
Sunday night at the Television Critics Association press tour, TV violence became a topic again, according to an AP report. NBC network entertainment President Jennifer Salke said there was no need to tone down NBC programs because it isn't a "shoot-'em-up" network."
The flip response to concerns about "Texas 3D" is that its star is ... a chainsaw! But you won't find many breezy responses to violence among those touched by the devices of "semi-automatic" death and destruction.
Oh, and do consider former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, who visited Newtown last week and will speak with the TV anchor on "World News with Diane Sawyer" Tuesday about their new initiative, possibly related to America's violence problem.
Violence in America is not the gun makers' or owners' problem; it's not Tarantino's problem; it's not Hollywood's problem. It's always someone else's problem. Like ours.

Scott Madry remembers how hard it was to get a decent aerial photo before Google Earth.
As an anthropology professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the Fulbright honoree has relied on bird's-eye views of the rural French countryside to find archeological excavation sites for over 25 years. Getting these views, however, often required snapping photos through rented airplane windows during low-level flyovers, an expensive process he describes as "extremely inefficient and not a little dangerous."
Google Earth changed all that. While Madry continues to spot dig sites from above, his flyovers have gone virtual. From his Chapel Hill office, using the search-engine giant's free geo-mapping program, he is able to identify potential excavation sites more quickly and without having to use precious grant money.
"I found in all those years just a handful of archeological sites," he says. "And after really not very much looking at all, a couple of weekends hanging out in my office at home doing this for an hour at a time, I found over a hundred. I was astounded."
Madry is not alone in singing Google Earth's praises. Though not specifically designed for scientific use, since its beta release in June 2005, the program has seen growing use by geologists, geographers, and archeologists like Madry who say the program's intuitive interface and fluid 3D satellite mapping is streamlining once cumbersome research methods and making earth science more accessible to the public than ever before. Researchers from the Alaska Volcano Observatory created a Google Earth program that graphically displays volcano threat while seismologists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) use the program to map the intensity of post-earthquake tremors.
"We need to get this imagery," Madry says, "and then we need to get it into the hands of multiple levels of users who have no experience in the software. That's where something like Google Earth has a fantastic practical purpose, because you can just get on it and show somebody in two minutes what they need to know."
Google is enthusiastic about the product's adoption by professional and amateur users alike. "The scientific community really embraced Google Earth from the start. The product has only existed for about a year and a half, and already we've seen a substantial amount of use," says Chikai Ohazama, a Google Earth product manager. The company released version 4 of Earth in January to include Google SketchUp, which is a 3D software modeling tool that enables users to model the world for professional use and to share in Google Earth.
Like Madry, Ohazama attributes the program's popularity to its accessibility. "Google Earth provides a platform so scientists can present their work in a very compelling way. Yet it's available to anybody. You don't need any special tools to use it," he says. According to Ohazama, Google Earth has been downloaded over 200 million times since its release.
"I think its one of the most successful freely available applications," says Fred Taylor, publisher of the Google Earth Blog, an independent publication that has been following the program's development since its release.
A former NASA flight simulator developer turned blogger and entrepreneur, Taylor says Google Earth facilitates increased sharing of scientific geo-referenced information, though he warns that its usefulness as an actual research tool should not be overstated. "Geographic information system (GIS) applications are still very important and, if anything, Google Earth has made that clearer," he says.
David Wald, a seismologist at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center agrees. He sees Google Earth as a much less expensive complement, not a replacement to existing research tools. For his "Shake Map" after-tremor project, his team uses both static image maps and GIS imaging in addition to Google Earth layers to present their data for different audiences.
"If we do things right, the only thing that will limit the technology will be their creativity," says Wald. "The future is definitely going to be determined by users."
Wald, Taylor, and other Google Earth users certainly do have some specific ideas for the application's future. Taylor says Google needs to reorganize the list of placemarker layers available in the program's sidebar while both men agree that one of Google's next steps should be to take Google Earth inside the planet's crust to offer sub-surface mapping.
"In seismology and a lot of different fields you want to get under the earth," says Wald. "To be able to take a section of the earth, move into it, see the data that's been collected way down in mines, to use seismology to look at wells and different geologic units—that you can't do with the current approach. That's a whole new frontier."

Retired English Teacher
If there were degrees for demonstrated ability to make typos, I'd have a PhD.
I have noticed that when I edit my typos after submitting my post, this goes unremarked if I do it quickly enough. After a certain time, my carelessness is exposed by a 'last edited...' label attached to my post. How long do I have to rectify my faults before I am exposed?
ps. I have added this ps for two reasons:
1. to see if I have done it soon enough to be exposed
2. to say that this is simply curiosity - no hint of complaint

You should have 5 minutes in which to edit your post before the 'Last edited...' message is displayed.

Encouraging gifts to the endowment fund is one of Scouting's highest priorities. It is one of the best ways to ensure that the Atlanta Area Council can continue to offer the outstanding programs it now has long into the future and also grow to meet the needs of the youth and communities it serves.
The Heritage Society includes anyone who has made a gift to the Council's endowment fund at the James E. West level ($1,000) or above. Members enjoy exclusive benefits including invitations to Philmont and the Heritage Society Dinner. Futhermore, it is a way for you to leave a legacy to Scouting. Click here if you would like more information on the James E. West Fellowship.
Most of us have heard of the term endowment, but what does it really mean? An endowment is a fund is held in perpetuity to provide interest and dividend earnings for the benefit of a charitable cause. That is the textbook definition, but in reality an endowment is the life preserver of a charitable organization. To be healthy and stable, the Atlanta Area Council needs to meet its current operating budget, without exerting 100% of its energy on fundraising. 10% of the operating budget is provided from investment income. After all, our mission is not to raise funds, but rather to continue our strong movement and build a foundation that provides our youth with a quality, values-based program. For more information on planned giving visit www.bsagiftplan.org or contact Andrew Reale, Major Gifts Director at 770-956-3182.
In its gratitude for such support, the Boy Scouts of America nationally offers three distinct endowment recognition awards which are all a part of the Heritage Society. The Atlanta Area Council presents these awards to donors who support Scouting's financial future through gifts to the endowment.
James E. West Form
This award is named after James E. West who was the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. Dr. West exemplified Ralph Waldo Emerson's observation that "an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man." Scouting today is the "lengthened shadow" of more than three decades of the farseeing and dedicated leadership of Dr. James E. West. Those who are recognized by the James E. West Fellowship Award will cast their own "lengthened shadow" as they help ensure the Scouting legacy for future generations of young people and create the financial stability of the program for the Atlanta Area Council.
The James E. West Fellowship Award is a national recognition for individuals who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or marketable securities to the Council's Endowment Trust Fund. This gift must be in addition to and not replace or diminish the donor's annual Friends of Scouting support. Many individuals and organizations make these gifts on behalf of someone else such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, Scoutmaster, Cubmaster, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or anniversary or in memory of a special individual. The James E. West Fellowship Award is recognized with a personalized certificate. In addition, a distinctive lapel pin and an exclusive knot for the uniform are presented at a special recognition program. The recipient will also be included in special Atlanta Area Council events and mailings in the future. Click here for more information.
An outright gift of $25,000 or more payable over five years,or a deferred gift of $100,000 or more,to a local council,BSA Foundation, high-adventure base,or any BSA entity for operating, capital,or endowment. Donors making outright gifts of $100,000 or more are designated as "Members with Distinction." Donors making deferred gifts of $500,000 or more are designated as "Legacy Members." Members in these categories receive special recognition and opportunities provided by the BSA Foundation. Second Century Society members are recognized with a member lapel pin and certificate. Members giving at least $100,000 also receive a framed Rockwell print and a Custom Second Century insignia item.
Gifts of $1,000,000 or more to or through the BSA Foundation payable over five years, as part of an advised fund, designated fund, trust, or other Foundation fund structure allow the giver to become part of the President's Leadership Council. . Gifts may be designated to benefit local councils, high-adventure facilities, or other BSA entities. Recognition is personalized and custom at this giving level.

Pastitsada is a speciality from the island of Corfu. It is traditionally made with rooster, but can also be cooked with veal. However, if these meats are not to someone's taste, it can easily be made with beef and is also tasty and we find that children usually prefer it this way.
½ cup olive oil
4 medium size onions cut in small pieces
5-6 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
¼ of teaspoon red chili powder
salt & pepper
1 full tablespoon tomato-paste
1 cup drained tomato cubes
1 cup red wine
½ kg pasta number 10
1 cup grated cheese (preferrably Greek kefalotiri)
Add the tomato paste and turn the meat to seal it somehow in the paste, and boil it with the paste for a few seconds (that helps the meat to soften and preserve the colour).

Eat and Enjoy!

Well, a bitch is pleased to have sparked a wee little debate regarding King Kong! Shit, a bitch may just have to post my thoughts on Friends one of these days.
Moving forward with extreme bitchitude…
Thanks to all who sent positivitude to a bitch's family yesterday. The situation is under investigation and details will be posted as soon as we come to a resolution. Bill's eye is much better...we all hope that his attutude improves too.
My American Dream…
A bitch believes in the reality of happiness. This bitch dreams of an America where my autistic brother is able to get the healthcare he deserves without delay and bureaucratic drama…where dental is covered and care is proactive rather than reactive.
A bitch dreams of a world where people don't stare and whisper behind their hands. Where chil'ren smile when Bill twirls around McDonald's because he's as excited about a cheeseburger as others get excited about a new car.
A bitch dreams about a system that taps into existing community programs, so a bitch's brother isn't bored and unstimulated. Where the mentally ill or disabled can work if that's the best placement for them or volunteer if that's a better fit.
A bitch can close my eyes and imagine an America where my ass can just be a sister…where paperwork doesn't define my commitment and where my visits aren't motivated out of concern.
This land of plenty has the ability to make a bitch's American dream a reality…
…but the will? The will is lacking.
And so a bitch worries and frets.
A bitch rants and raves.
A bitch holds this dream so tight that it hurts.
Cuts and slashes have created a funding crisis in Missouri that is harming our most vulnerable citizens…
A bitch's sorry assed American reality.

oh goodness, I hope your brother is ok and everything gets ironed out.
What you wrote in this post should be shouted out to all of America, why don't we have the will to make these dreams a reality? Why are we so concerned about oil in another country and or spreading democracy to "heathens." Why are there people fighting for fetuses when there are living people who need care? Why are there people screaming about family values and not taking care of families.
The whole thing just stinks.
Woman, you are everywhere. Your King Kong rant made the off-topic board at BroadwayWorld.com.

James Newton Howard is the the man. His score for the Village pretty much defines October for me.

First, I'm kind of in love with Mark Wahlberg.
Second, no matter how bad M.Night's movies are, you can always count on his soundtracks. I agree with Joel. Although... the Signs soundtrack KILLS me, it's so good. I think when I die I want a medley of M.Night's soundtracks to be played at my funeral culminating with the Signs' soundtrack final song.Can't remember the name of that one.
Sigh. M.Night, why did you have to go and do The Last Airbender? :( wah wah waaah. So sad.

The following was written and published at Joshua's story site: Telling the Stories that Matter.
Potamiana was a Christian in Alexandria, Egypt, in the year 205 A.D. But Potamiana's faith amounted to far more than conviction and tolerated practice. No, faith for Potamiana was a likely death sentence. After all, the prefects and rulers of Roman Alexandria were more than willing to execute Rome's harshest forms of punishment upon those that Rome had declared enemies of the State–such as Christians who refused to make sacrifices to the Roman gods and values. So, Potamiana was condemned to suffer and die for her faith when she continued to abstain from the commanded idolatry of Rome. The prefect wanted Potamiana to be boiled to death in pitch slowly but he first wanted the woman to be raped by some gladiators because of her continued insistence that she was consecrated to celibacy by her faith in a foreign power: her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So, she was placed into the hands and care of one of the Roman soldiers, one that the prefect trusted and who had become known as something of a loyal official within the court, named Basilides. Basilides was willing to make sacrifice before the idols and values of Rome and was given his charge over Potamiana so that she might suffer and die for her refusal.
Basilides took her from the court of the prefect and knew that she was first to go and be raped before being taken to the place of her public and gory execution. On the way, though, Basilides began to have second thoughts about the brutality of his orders. She had kept her virginity as a type of offering before the Christian God she worshiped and although Basilides didn't have the same reverence for her God he respected the tenacity she held. She showed unexpected bravery for a woman facing certain, gruesome death. So, Basilides did something very surprising–perhaps because he was ashamed at the idea of having the woman raped in addition to executed, perhaps because he wanted to get the whole thing over with sooner rather than later, or perhaps because he wanted to show Potamiana mercy–he bypassed the gladiators and took her directly to the spot of her death. Potamiana thanked Basilides and returned to her prayers as they walked to Rome's bloody altar where she would be turned over to death in the name of the Roman values and convictions. The crowds screamed at her and insulted this traitor to Rome as she walked the last few hundred yards. Basilides commanded the worst of them to stop and they did, for the most part. When they tried to throw stones and garbage at her he stepped in between her and the crowd knowing that none of these crowd would have the courage to throw such things at an emissary of the Empire. Once Potamiana was handed over for execution she was slowly lowered into a cauldron of burning pitch but she thanked Basilides for his kindness and mercy and promised that she would pray for him and for his conversion.
Potamiana died a martyr and Basilides went home shaken by her words and bravery. She had faced death without a tremor of fear and with a confidence that he wasn't certain he and others could have mustered in a similar situation. The love and forgiveness she had offered to those around her even as she was shown nothing but brutality and hatred haunted his thoughts. She had called his actions merciful even though Basilides was still leading her to her death in chains. A few nights after her death he a dream wherein Potamiana appeared and assured him that she was still praying for him and that she would gladly welcome him when he followed after her. Basilides knew what she meant and in the morning he sought out a priest and was converted to the faith of Potamiana and away from the faith of the empire. He knew intimately that there was a cost associated with such an audacious act but he paid it willingly. After his baptism, he went to his fellow soldiers and proclaimed his new found faith to them. At first they thought he was joking but their laughter turned to amazement when he insisted that he was telling the truth. Being loyal to the gods and values of Rome they turned him over to their rulers so that they might not incur Rome's condemnation themselves. Basilides was beheaded for being convinced of the faith of the one he had escorted to death–a faith that offered mercy even for the greatest of sinners and forgiveness and love even for enemies.

I know very little about furnaces, and I'm curious if the trap is clogged, or if it's working properly and the hose has developed a leak.
The hoses are fastened with zip-ties, and my plan is to replace these with hose clamps. I'll replace the hoses, too, if they are split, etc.
Anything else I should look for? It's amazing how much water condenses out of the air in this thing.
Thanks, Eric

Komodo Dragon, Indonesia (USNM 101444)
The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Amphibians & Reptiles (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/herps) houses many lizards in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 101444 (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/herps/?irn=6074558), is a komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) from Indonesia. This individual was collected in 1934 in the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur on Komodo Island.
This is a CT scan of the thorax and upper spine of USNM 101444. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections available in 3D for education and research.

Somewhere in France.
Dear Em,
Say Im feeling great. That's my letter, so if you read all the junk I all ways fill my letters with Im thinking you've got nothing to do. Went out to drill both morning and afternoon and the first part of my letter is the result. Gee its great to get up in the morning for reveille at six fifteen, when you can't see your hand three inches before you, pile out and get the report of the company and listen to the chorus of coughing, and stamping of cold feet, (for the billetts that the men are quartered in are colder than outside.) Well it takes about ten or fifteen minutes to get the details for the day picked and off, and then I double time back to #10 (for this is the number of the house Im in.) We scratched up enough wood to make it comfortable and tomorrow is another day. After that double time stunt back to #10 I wash (that is if I have time) grab my mess kit and hike about a half mile for some bacon, potatoe, bread and coffee.
Has Pa been over to Gray's latly to get his mornings, or is there enough of Squire's Best still on hand to save him a bargain hunt for a while. Tell Pa this would be an ideal life for him, especially the morning meal, if it was bacon we got, and not half cooked salt fat pork. Well after mess we hike that half mile back again, shave, make up the days reports and by that time, first call for drill is sounded and I assemble the company for drill.
Hike about a mile, morning exercise, (in which we have adopted the English method by combining work with play and do a lot of running, hopping etc. Then bayonet drill, where the men are taut all the art of trickery, savagry and go-get-emry. We used to think we knew pretty near all that was to be known about handling the rifle and bayonet, but we sure are learning something now. Give any of these men that have had this bayonet training a rifle and bayonet, and put him up against any body with any kind of a weapon and he'll win. After this bayonet work we drill in the new French formation. It wouldnt interest you if I did explain how much different this method is from our own so I won't go into detail.
Then we have a little Good Old U.S.A. close order drill, and shoot back to the town and our quarters. Although the weather is sharp, we are sweating when we hit our billetts. All we have to do then is, hike for our dinner (which is hamburg steak potatoes bread and coffee) and hike back and get ready for drill at 1.20. We go to the same field in the afternoon as in the morning and do the same thing with the exception of the exercise. We start back at three so as to be in time for Retreat at four.
At Retreat I lead the band to Hdq. where it plays the Star Spangled Banner and the Marsellis. We then have a parade (me and the band) around the main streets and back to our quarters. Mess is at five (which is stew bread and coffee). Then we get into this room (and it is some crowd too) and talk until call to quarters. When the (I guess Im nuts tonight) crowd goes home the three of us start to write home. This is 9.30 P.M.
Now I hope you can find a little reading in this letter any way. All I can find is a lot of writing in it. Ive sent every body a line now (through you for I forget addresses very easy) except Sat. nights when Im home there. Im starting to make a laundry check out of this letter so I guess Id better stop. Will write soon.
P.S. If there is any one that I haven't written to that you think should get a letter (address please Address). Mrs Holland will be the next on my list and in the mean time tell them Sam is Sam for all of that.
