Zlatko Tomičić - Croatian Poet and Dissident
(Some Bio-bibliographical Data)
Journal of Croatian Studies, XXI, 1980, – Annual Review of the Croatian Academy of America, Inc.

All rights reserved by the Croatian Academy of America.
Zlatko Tomičić was born on May 26, 1930, in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, where his father, a tailor from Lika, and his mother, a civil servant from Slavonia, were then living. He completed his secondary education in Vinkovci, Slavonia, and graduated from the Philosophical Faculty of the Hrvatska Sveučilište (Croatian University) in Zagreb. Under other circumstances he would probably have become a professor of comparative literature and of the Czech and Slovak languages.
But, as Tomičić himself pointed out in a 1967 interview in Kerub, "the artist in a small nation like Croatia is not only an artist but also a self-sacrificing cultural worker. At any time that Croatian literature has threatened to become artificial, it has been revived through healthy struggle in the cultural field". Consequently, Tomičić was compelled from 1948 to 1954 to work as a journalist in Yugoslavia, but his dissident views made it ever more difficult for him to work for the government-controlled press. From 1954 to 1968 he made a living as a free-lance writer and through the publication of his literary works.
In 1968, two years after Tito's dismissal of Alexander Ranković --the Yugoslav Beria, long-time secret police chief notorious for his cruelty, especially toward the Croats— in an atmosphere of deceptive liberalization Tomičić and his associates of the literary circle TIN started to publish a monthly called Hrvatski kniževni list (The Croatian Literary Journal). Because it was the first independently published periodical in Yugoslavia since the establishment of the Communist regime in 1945, and also because of its dissident and Croatian nationalist views, Hrvatski književni list rapidly became a mass-circulation publication, pulling ahead of all government sponsored newspapers and magazines published in the Socialist Republic of Croatia. No doubt this was the reason that in 1969 the Communist authorities suppressed Tomičić's journal, although neither he nor his associates were charged with criminal violations at that time. However, following Tito's purges of 1971-72 Tomičić was arrested. Incidentally, the same destiny that befell Tomičić's Hrvatski književni list awaited Hrvatski tjednik (The Croatian Weekly), a biweekly issued by Matica hrvatska, the most prestigious Croatian national cultural institution and publisher, whose chief editor was Vlado Gotovac, another distinguished Croatian poet, philosopher, and dissident.[1]
After his arrest in 1972 Tomičić was held in prison for several months before he was brought to trial on various charges dating back to 1962. Among other things, Tomičić was charged with "seeking forcibly to overthrow the Yugoslav system and government", with having written the "Fourth Epistle to the Croats," in which he had "openly called for the separation of the Socialist Republic of Croatia from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia"; and furthermore, with having written and circulated an unpublished poem "Obećana zemlja" (The Promised Land); and finally, that he was in touch with and had received correspondence from various "enemy exiles from Croatia now living in the USA". As the result, on November 5, 1972, Tomičić was sentenced to three years in prison, but on March 15, 1973, the Supreme Court of Croatia found Tomičić guilty of additional charges and increased his sentence to five years at hard labor. The Supreme Court found "evidence" that the defendant Tomičić had "falsely alleged that a majority of the Croatian people wish to separate Croatia from Yugoslavia and establish their own independent Croatian Stare". The decision of the Supreme Court moreover asserted that through his contacts with the Croatian emigration Tomičić had encouraged the emigré press to attack the Yugoslav government.
Ženo lijepa, rodi mi
devet sinova kao devet Smiljanića,
devet junaka sred Ravnih Kotara.
Beautiful woman, bear me
nine sons like the nine Smiljanićs,
nine heroes amid the Ravni Kotari.
Neprijatelj bjesni i trijebi nas.
Što smo mu skrivili?
Zemlju nam otima.
U gradovima gospodari.
The enemy is raging and destroying us.
What have we done wrong?
They are taking our land.
They are ruling our cities.
Crna krv teče iz svih izvora.
Zašto nema rata
pod zviježdjem vrhovnog Raka?
Kreću li se vojske od Dugoga Rata?
Lete li ptice Krete ili od Skageraka?
The black blood flows from all sources.
Why is there no war
under the constellation of supreme Cancer?
Are the armies moving from Dugi Rat?
Are the birds flying from Crete or from Skagerrak?
Ja sam usamljena lipa predaka
što cvate usred polja golema
I am the lonely linden of my forefathers
which blossoms amid a vast field.
Ruke se dižu pred vranom o drvo pribijenom.
Njen otvoreni kljun
bez glasa
sije strah otokom.
Hands are lifted to the crow
nailed to the tree.
Her open beak
sows fear through the island.
Ovdje nema misli.
Ovdje nema mudrosti.
Ovdje je nazočna samo strast.
Ovdje su odsutni taština i čast.
Here is no thought.
Here is no wisdom.
Here is present only passion.
Here are absent vanity and honor.
Uholaža bez laži ulazi u glavu.
Kunin rep kumi ljubavnika po obrazu.
Ptica pjeva u svojem pepelu.
The earwig without a lie enters the head.
The marten's tail entreats the lover's cheek.
The bird sings in its own ashes.
Hrvatska, ljubavi moja
i ovdje sam tvoj sin
i ovdje sam tvoje ime
i tvoj sjaj.
Croatia, my love
here, too, I am your son
here. too, I am your name
and your splendor.
Hrvatska, djevojko moja,
svuda mislim na tebe,
u svakoj zemlji te sanjam.
u svaki te nosim kraj.
Croatia, my girl,
everywhere I think of you,
in any country I dream of you,
in any land you are with me.
Hrvatska, gujo pod kamenom
s golim trokutima i ilirskim mjesecom
— tko na te s mržnjom stane
past će mrtav od otrova tvoga.
Croatia, viper under a stone
with naked triangles and Illyrian moon
— whoever treads with hate on you
by your venom will be killed.
Hrvatska, zvijezdo na nebu,
tvojom pomoću stekoh sile svijeta,
svjetlost jesi što pada na ruke
iz tijela i krvi raspetoga Boga.
Croatia, star in the heaven,
you helped me win the mighty world,
you falling light on the hands
from the body and blood of the Crucified God.

The City: Whitney's Changing PR Firms?Posted: July 8, 2010 Filed under: Fashion, kelly cutrone, news, PR, Whitney Port Leave a comment
Breaking Fashion News: For those of you who follow MTV's The City religiously as I do then I'm sure you're at the edge of your seat for the next episode which is the season finale. Whitney is definitely changing, first it was her approach to her best friend Roxy over a jacket that she clearly couldn't force a singer to wear. Now we're about to witness Whitney's new career transition. Well TCR (The Chic Report) is predicting Whitney Port's new home at Alison Brod. PR! We did some fact checking and Whitneyeve is indeed listed on the client roaster among several household names including Old Navy, VS PINK, Jill Stuart and Alice and Olivia. Wonder what went wrong with Kelly Cutrone and People's Rev. ? I really want to know what you guys think about this, knowing that Kelly's been there for Whitney since day one. She held her hand in this tough industry and went above and beyond to see her line succeed. Fast forward to one of the earliest episodes this season… who would actually shed a tear for a client after a runway show in this heartless industry?
We're wishing Whitney all the best and I hope this doesn't tarnish her relationship with Kelly Cutrone.
Side note: BUY KELLY'S BOOK

Kelly Cutrone's "If you have to cry GO OUTSIDE…And other things your mother never told you…"Posted: May 20, 2010 Filed under: Books, Fashion, Fashion Week, Inspiration, kelly cutrone Leave a comment
Fall collections 2009 my first fashion week ever working behind the scenes. Train traffic is seriously driving my nerves in full gear. I've seen The Hills, now I'm about to go to work for the same PR extraordinaire who made Lauren Conrad cry and would tell you like it is in an instant without hesitating. Here I'm I all decked in black, Chanel inspired clutch on my side (ALDO), 4 inch heels, black on black ensemble with golden bedazzling accessories, and the most stylish pair of stockings from American Apparel. The Davidelfin / Peoples Revolution show was one of my first shows at the NY Fashion Week tents. Blackberry in hand and a piece of paper with an off sight address the other, hair bouncing from my fresh blow out. I felt like the ultimate NYC Fashion chick. It was all happening I felt great except my nerves were uncontrollable. The venue must have been at an atelier between 11th and 12 ave there was no way I'd make it in these heels plus my new Steve Madden's were not for running. Hopped on what had to be the best cab driver in the city who considerately dashed across the avenues so I can make my call time. Its 1:53 made it to the venue and now I'm collecting my credentials… Thank God!!! This could have been the beginning and the end of my fashion career but I made call time!!! I'm a nervous wreck but its time to get it together, I'm ready to work with the Peoples Rev team front of house getting directions from miss Kelly Cutrone herself and although I'm attentive I kept saying in the back of my mind. "I like her! She's not mean…she has the mind of a business woman". Her drive was unbelievable! When she spoke directly at me for sitting directions as inspiration showered me. Go on Kelly you have a show to produce! Fast forward to January 2010 walking in to my Fashion PR and Events Planning class and Kelly Cutrone "Kell On Earth" was the main discussion every Tuesday, that's when I decided I'd give this book a read. I started reading yesterday and I must say this is a GREAT book. I wont give anything away until my official book review (as soon as I'm done reading). Until then find yourself at the nearest book store and pick up a copy. She has a story to tell!
Comment below and Thanks for visiting!!!

Lawmakers approve Muncie and Gary schools takeover, 4 other bills in one-day special session
INDIANAPOLIS – In a rare mid-May flurry of activity inside the Indiana Statehouse, lawmakers returned Monday to a robust agenda looking to shore up several key issues they failed to pass as the legislative session ended earlier this year.
"We promised transparency, we promised efficiency for the taxpayer," House Speaker Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis) said Monday. "And we were able to accomplish what we were unable to accomplish on the last night."
The House passed five bills within several hours and concluded by lunchtime. The Senate convened at 1 p.m. and passed the measures as well. Gov. Holcomb ordered lawmakers back after failing to address several bills addressing school safety and tax issues.
Democrats questioned the process and cried foul at the rush within the one-day session.
"There's no options – and I say dog-and-pony show and I mean that literally," House Minority Leader Terry Goodin (D-Austin) said. "Everyone knew exactly what was going to happen."
Republicans in both the House and Senate voted to streamline the process, bypassing traditional legislative rules to ensure the session would not extend beyond a single day.
"I think it will be efficient as we're know for," Holcomb said in an interview Friday. "Transparent, which is another box we want to check, and it will be effective. We've got some bills we need to sign into law, to clarify and reduce the cost."
The most controversial provision is one Republican leaders decided to add, despite the governor not including it in his initial special session agenda. The plan will give control of Muncie Community Schools to Ball State University, a provision lawmakers failed to pass the provision during the session.
"Some real questions were brought up today," Goodin said.
Ball State will be charged with appointing a new school board whose members don't have to be exclusively from Muncie.
Several members of the Indiana State Teachers Association and Muncie Teachers association gathered at the Statehouse Monday morning opposing the measure. Earlier this month the organizations delivered petitions to Holcomb making note of their opposition.
"I'm confident about Ball State," Bosma said. "In fact, I'm enthused about Ball State's ability to run the school system."
Ball State University President Geoffrey S. Mearns issued this statement:
"Earlier today, the General Assembly passed HB 1315, the legislation that provides our University with the opportunity to appoint a new school board to manage the Muncie Community Schools ("MCS"). The legislation passed by substantial margins in both chambers, and I anticipate that Governor Holcomb will promptly sign the bill into law.
"Now, our Board of Trustees must meet to consider whether our University should accept this significant responsibility. A special Board meeting will take place at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 16, in Cardinal Hall in the Student Center.
"If our Board of Trustees approves the necessary resolution, then the school board appointed by Ball State will assume responsibility of MCS on July 1, 2018.
"I am grateful to Governor Holcomb and to all of the members of the General Assembly who expressed their confidence in the collective ability of our University and our local community to overcome the challenges that are presently impeding progress at MCS. And I am grateful to all of the people – Muncie residents, community leaders, parents, and MCS teachers and staff, as well as our faculty, staff, students, and alumni – who expressed their support for HB 1315. Your encouragement gives me great optimism that, working together as equal partners, we will provide an exceptional educational experience for all of the children of Muncie."
Specifics of the other pieces of legislation include:
- House Bill 1230: Provide $5 million for school safety that Gov. Holcomb requested during the session. The bill would also make available low-interest loans to school corporations for security equipment upgrades and capital improvements
- House Bill 1315: Allow the state take takeover of Gary and Muncie community schools, including control of Muncie to Ball State University. The bill would also authorize a one-time loan to Muncie
- House Bill 1316: Update the state's tax code to comply with the new federal tax law
- House Bill 1242: Makes tax changes including a sales tax exemption for hot mix asphalt plants, including the state's largest highway contractors
- House Bill 1457: Technical corrections from last session

U.S. District Court Judge John A. Gibney, Jr. ruled against Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman today in a lawsuit brought by the candidates to be placed on the March 6, 2012 Virginia Republican Primary ballot.
In addition to not complying with Virginia law to be placed on the ballot, the judge stated in his ruling that, "the plaintiffs slept on their rights" when it came to bringing their lawsuit nearly a half a year too late.
Ron Paul and Mitt Romney have complied the Virginia law and will be placed on the Virginia ballot. So when it comes to Virginia, Ron Paul will be the only "anti-Mitt."
Virginia has 49 delegates up for grabs.

Ok, so I ate everything on the 7×7 Magazine 2012 list of "100 Things to Eat in SF Before You Die"…now what? Well, I thought I would take a minute to share a little bit about what I gained from the whole experience…other than an extra pound or two.
Overall, I would have to say I'm soooo glad I decided to embark on this journey. It helped that just about everything I ate was pretty awesome…not every single thing…but just about everything. But aside from the eats, I also had the chance to meet so many wonderful people and explore some new neighborhoods along the way. It did get a little stressful at times squeezing it all into one year…and maybe sometimes I just wanted to eat a Chipotle burrito and call it a night…but ultimately it was exciting to have a goal for the year, and I'm proud that I stuck it through to the end.
So I'm sure the most important thing you're all dying to know is…what were my favorites, right? Here are my TOP 10…they're not necessarily presented in any order, other than the Pork Belly Bun from the Chairman Bao Bun Food Truck, which was my very favorite #1 pick of all the eats! Here are the rest…
1. Pork belly bun at Chairman Bao Bun's Food Truck
2. Morning bun at Tartine Bakery
3. Clam chowder at Anchor Oyster Bar
4. Dry fried chicken wings at San Tung
5. A slice of cheese at Arinell Pizza
6. Soup dumplings at Kingdom of Dumpling
7. Langos at Bar Tartine
8. Porchetta sandwich at Roli Roti
9. Pho ga at Turtle Tower
10. Fried chicken sandwich at Marlowe
And, of course, the second question everyone wants to know…what didn't I like. Let me just say, there was nothing on the list that I hated. I have so much respect for owners of and hard workers at every place I visited. Everything is on the list for a reason, and just because my palate didn't love it, doesn't mean yours won't. And it's not that I necessarily hate these things, it's just that maybe there's something a bit more delectable that could take its place…?
1. Korean tacos at Namu's Ferry Building Farmer's Market stand.
2. Ginger snaps at Miette
3. Coconut buns from King's Bakery
4. Curry lahksa soup at Betelnut
5. Pickled eggs at Comstock Saloon
One of my favorite parts of the whole experience, though, was that when we would go to a restaurant to try a specific dish a dish, we would end up trying and loving a bunch of other stuff on the menu. There were a handful of these restaurants that I had never been to before, but, after such memorable meals, they are now in my "favorites" rotation, and here they are…
Bar Tartine
Banker & Baker
Flour & Water
And now the ten million dollar question is…will I be taking on this challenge again next year? Well, considering that much of the list stays the same year after year, with only about a third of the names rotating in or out…well, I'm pretty sure it will be too hard to resist…also, considering my sever case of #FOMO, I'm thinking there's a pretty good chance it's a yes.
So there we go! If you have any questions about any of the places I visited, please feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to share my thoughts and help with any menu selections.

Skillet Apple Brown Betty with Golden Raisins and Calvados
Why This Recipe Works
After many experiments, we determined that simpler was better when it came to an apple brown betty recipe. A short list of ingredients worked best. To add sweetness and flavor to bland bread crumbs, we toasted them to a deep golden brown. We caramelized two types of apples and then finished cooking them in cider to add moisture. To improve texture, our brown betty recipe calls for mixing some of the crumbs with the apples to thicken the juices, before sprinkling the remaining crumbs over the apples just before serving.

A huge thanks to the Giving Voice SLT choir and Sheffield and Doncaster self-help groups, who raised awareness and funds for the BSA at the Lyceum Theatre's run of The King's Speech.
On 15th April, the Doncaster Stammering Association (DSA) members headed over to Sheffield, in convoy, to join the Giving Voice SLT choir outside the Lyceum Theatre.
The choir, in fine voice, serenaded the theatre-goers whilst we chatted to them about stammering and about the important work of the BSA.
The evening was great fun and a good opportunity to speak openly about stammering. Hundreds of BSA fliers were handed out and £177 was raised for the BSA.

I certify the foregoing to be a correct copy of the last will of Richard P. Rice with one codicil thereto
(Listed in the Margin next to this will the following)
|Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor.
We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be.

Confirmed – Donegal man did not have Ebola
By Shelley Marsden
THE family of the late Dessie Quinn – at the centre of an Irish Ebola alert – has been told he did not have the Ebola virus
They were told just after noon today that hab tests had proven negative. The family had said previously that they didn't think the 44 year old, who was found dead at his Donegal home yesterday, had had the disease.
"The HSE has confirmed that laboratory test samples for an individual, who had recently returned from Africa, has proved negative for Ebola Virus," the HSE said in a statement.
"Infection control procedures, which had been put in place as a precautionary measure, will now be stepped down. The HSE expressed its condolences to the individual's family and friends for their loss."
Mr Quinn had been in Sierra Leone, where he was treated for malaria. He worked in the African country for a Clondalkin-based cable-laying firm.

How to Wear: Off-the-Shoulder Blouse
Little doubt in anyone's mind that Sophia Loren could front an off-the-shoulder peasant blouse with authority, as she does above in her first English-language film, The Pride and the Passion.
But one need not be a Mediterranean bomba to pull the look off, as Doris Day proves below.
The simple necessities are these:
1) Glossy skin
2) Not a lot of froufrou at the neckline--a skinny chain at best. Hoop earrings would be great, though.
3) A relatively covered-up bottom half. If you wore short-shorts with a blouse like this, the impact of the shoulders would be lost.
3) A blouse whose edging draws attention to the lovely boundary of clothed and unclothed, example from eBay below.
Image of Sophia Loren from Dr. Macro's High Quality Movie Scans, many thanks. Image of Doris Day from the fab Unofficially Doris: The Doris Day Web Forum, many thanks too!

Leading Software Vendor SAS Opts for Alcorn McBride Products Throughout Its Headquarters
SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market, is a long-time user of Alcorn McBride equipment at its Cary, North Carolina headquarters. "We've been using Alcorn McBride products for five years - we wouldn't have 18 DVM-8400 HD players and other Alcorn gear if we didn't like it," says Woody Weaver, senior manager of engineering and operations at the SAS world headquarters campus in Cary NC. "Alcorn products represent good value for money, and Alcorn's support has always been terrific." Two Alcorn McBride DVM-7400 Standard Definition players and six DVM-8400 High Definition players are deployed for user events and shows in the production facility in the SAS studios and on road shows. "Although all of our production is now HD we still have a need for SD playback at times and the 7400 players fill that bill nicely. The 18 DVM-8400 HD players are "workhorse" units deployed in two auditoriums, the main lobby and displays throughout the new executive briefing center, according to Weaver. "In each of our two newest auditoriums we have a 10x30-foot main screen and two flanking screens. Alcorn players are routed to them as needed." Ten HD players are dedicated to five Christie MicroTile walls. "We have an extensive HD routing system so we can show a mix of content on any of the walls," says Weaver. "We also use other sources for content, including Cisco players and cable television feeds." The largest MicroTile wall, a 4x28-foot display located in the main lobby of the conference center, is fed by an Alcorn McBride Digital Binloop HD system. "We only need one player for the 28-foot wall and it looks very good," Weaver reports. The Binloops also feed a 4x7-foot MicroTile wall that acts as welcome station for customers in the lobby; a 2x6-foot MicroTile wall in the lobby, which displays info on the Platinum LEED certification earned by the new conference center/office tower; a 3x16-foot MicroTile wall located outside the dining area for displaying news and information from corporate communications; and a 3x10-foot MicroTile wall in the executive offices' lobby. "The Alcorn products have been great," Weaver says. "Our engineering and production staff really likes the ease of use and reliability of the Alcorn players.. The products are used in critical areas, such as live production and the new executive briefing center, so we really demonstrate our faith in them every day." About Alcorn McBride: Founded in 1986, Alcorn McBride is the leading manufacturer of show control, audio and video equipment for the themed entertainment industry, and a rapidly growing provider of audio and video systems for retail environments and transportation applications. Staffed by some of the industry's best engineers and backed by outstanding customer support, the company has demonstrated great agility in bringing new designs to market. A hallmark of Alcorn McBride products is their durable, zero maintenance design. The company's products provide consistent, reliable operation for audio and video playback applications worldwide.

IFS endorses project-centric approach with applications for the global economy
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, is announcing major functional enhancements supporting project-centric industries. The solution provides a comprehensive application for all aspects of project, contract and asset management.
The enhanced solution, developed with customers including Aker Yards and First Engineering, supports businesses operating in industries such as construction & contracting, EPCI, project-based manufacturing as well as asset-oriented companies. IFS' components for project-centric industries support the complete process from start to finish, covering the whole project lifecycle.
The technology focuses on managing projects, contracting and subcontracting, risk management, cost management, resource allocation and payment processes, while also providing the tools to support project budgets and forecasting.
"There's a huge demand in the market from companies who are tired of trying to force-fit applications designed with a product focus into project-driven work," said Alastair Sorbie, CEO of IFS. "An essential element of project work is the ability to interact and collaborate with suppliers, partners and customers. Most traditional monolithic applications don't make this easy, whereas our project-centric approach enables companies to communicate and also measure success within a partnership."
"Since the mid-90s we've been developing components tailored to the needs of our customers in the project-based industries," continued Sorbie. "As companies increasingly need to support enterprise-wide projects—running simultaneously and often on a global scale—these advances in application functionality are in demand outside of the original target industries."
Key features of IFS Applications for Project-Centric Businesses include:
Sales contract management enables flexible contract numbering and improved support for copying contracts and retention management. Improved invoicing workflow and customer address selection on invoices and applications allow greater flexibility and speed.
Subcontract management supports all contractual stages, from requirement to payment, and includes task management, change history and revision control along with multiple options for approval processes. Flexible payment processes and calculation and valuation methods enable agility and accuracy.
Project budgeting and forecasting allows the creation of project-specific budgeting and proactive budget control along with multiple project forecast versions. The Periodic Cost Graph allows a graphical view of project performance against time and budget, and users can also use Project Snapshot to view detailed information from any given date and time.
Risk management functionality provides a qualitative analysis of risk and the ability to manage risk throughout the lifecycle of the project, with constant review and evaluation through severity ratings. The progress of risk reduction can be tracked, along with the overall cost expenditure.
The components which comprise IFS Applications for Project-Centric Businesses also integrate with Primavera Project Management, meaning information can be imported from, and exported to, this external project planning module.
"Project professionals remain challenged by business solutions that force-fit production and manufacturing applications to meet the needs of knowledge-based information workers," wrote Forrester Principal Analyst Ray Wang in the May 2007 report, Introducing Project-Based Solutions. The report continued, "As enterprises continue the shift to a service-based and project-based world, project-based solutions (PBS) are the only applications category that enterprises can rely on to deliver process automation, process improvement, and innovation for this new world of work. PBS transcends traditional functional boundaries of project management, ERP, CRM, and supply chain management (SCM) to include requests from areas like project accounting, change management, time/expense, and analytics that surround the work being accomplished."
About IFS
IFS (OMX STO: IFS), the global enterprise applications company, provides ERP solutions which enable organizations to respond quickly to market changes. The solutions allow resources to be used in a more agile way to achieve better business performance and competitive advantage.Founded in 1983, IFS has 2,600 employees worldwide.

(b) For all purposes of this section, decedent's relatives of the half blood shall be treated as if they were relatives of the whole blood.
(c) Distributees of the decedent, conceived before his or her death but born alive thereafter, take as if they were born in his or her lifetime.
(d) The right of an adopted child to take a distributive share and the right of succession to the estate of an adopted child continue as provided in the domestic relations law.
(e) A distributive share passing to a surviving spouse under this section is in lieu of any right of dower to which such spouse may be entitled.

Flash Fiction Friday: MOM WANTS BOY TO GET NEW SLACKS FROM SEARS
by: Christopher Lesko
Mom: C'mon we need to get you some new slacks. They've got good deals going on at Sears right now.
Boy: You're hurting my arm.
Mom: I need you to hold my hand when we cross. Could be a weed maniac zipping around the corner. People never go the speed limit in mall parking lots.
Boy hobbles behind Mom while she tugs him along. He's fourteen years old and can probably make it on his own, but she insists on overprotecting him from weed maniacs.
Man in car sees Boy and Mom ahead. The man is a weed maniac. He puts the pedal to the metal. As he plows right into them, they pop like a lighter to a balloon. And that's the end of the mom and boy's story. No going to Sears for them. Ever again.

It all started with a book…. "The life-changing magic of tidying up"… I loved the book, it's a great book to give you some direction, yet that doesn't mean that you need to follow everything that it says, but use it as a tool to give you Ideas.
After I finished reading that book, I was introduced to other books about minimalism. That's when I started researching the minimalist movement, there are so many people choosing this lifestyle, some taking them to crazy extremes, others decide to do it for different reasons, they want to be more eco-friendly, others they like the aesthetics, others do it because it fits with their frugal lifestyle.
I have read books, some blogs and even watch videos on all different views, only one single thing tied them and that was that they were all living minimalistic lifestyles.
I started to see this minimal concept as a tool that I could implement in my life and my home in a way to:
- Get rid of all the extra stuff we have lying around collecting dust.
- Hoping that our home runs a bit smoother.
- Freeing up time in our (my) schedule by not having to be picking up messes every day.
- Being more conscious of the things we purchase and making more eco-friendly choices when possible.
- Also as a way to avoid consumerism, it is so easy to get sucked into buying the latest trends, electronics, cars, etc.
I have done so much already, yet I can't wait to go for another round. My husband is loving the simplicity and how the feel of our home has changed and he loves helping with the little projects that I have been doing.
I will be journaling my next wave of declutter, this time around I just jumped into it and didn't take any pictures.
So here are a few tips if you want to get started;
- It needs to be done in stages, this prevents having to repurchase things simply cause you threw the original by mistake.
- Start not by room, but by space for example; in my room, I started by decluttering the nightstands, then the next day I did my vanity, and the day after the closet and kept on going on the rest of the house.
- once you have a full room decluttered look and see if you love the room and/or if you need to do some redecoration.
- Don't start in another room until you have completely finished the one you are working on.
- If something is broken needs to be replaced or repaired please do at the moment because if you leave it, you won't ever get to it and it will just be clutter.
- Make a budget!!! there will be things you will want to change a budget will keep you on track and prevent you from spending too much.
One thing is for sure decluttering your home, your space makes you feel so good, so centered. It's amazing that something so simple can bring so much peace and balance.
I honestly can't wait to see where this journey takes me. Have you been thinking of decluttering or maybe reducing all your possessions in your house? Let me know in the comments I would love to hear about others journey with minimalism.

For a weekend that was supposed to be spent catching up on sleep and relaxing, I'm feeling very tired.
I could really use another day off.
I'm that sleepy.
And this following a two hour nap this afternoon.
Here's why I've been waking up in the middle of the night...
...several times a night.
Her name is Delilah Belle.
She's cute as a button, and she's a rescue dog out of Tennessee. Her mother was a pug mix, but no one knows about the father, although my money is on him being a chocolate Lab.
One thing is for certain...she had better stay away from my yarn and needles, and my shoes.
Other than that she's a keeper.
Now if we could just get her to sleep through the night.

I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person!
random days
Some days you wake up great, ready to take on the world, other days like today, I would put in an odd category. Im doing well, but my mind is elsewhere on a million things. Time to shut my eyes and slow down for a bit. A beautiful weekend is near, and Im looking forward to it
Day 139: Monday's Beginning
"Nothing's all that scary if you can see it coming"
― Jennifer E. Smith
I have a bad habit of waking up at 5:30am lately – but this morning it was most definitely worth it…
Yes it's the tree again, but I have to make the most of it because in a few months I won't be waking up to that view everyday anymore! Plus it's rare I'm actually awake for a sunrise too… These photographs are all iPhone shots with a little tweaking in photoshop afterwards to remove pesky telephone wires.
Disneyland Raises Ticket Prices Again
Disneyland has raised its single day ticket price by $4 to $96 for those 10 years old and up.
The increase is for both California Adventure and Disneyland park.
Parking fees also increased from $16 to $17.
Sales of the Southern California Passports, which allows locals to visit the parks more than 200 days per year for one price, have also been suspended.
Disney last raised ticket prices at its SoCal theme parks in June 2013.
California Per mile tax for drivers
In a time when so many of us commute to and from, im curious how this will play out. from my understanding with so many people driving hybrid and fuel efficient vehicles now days the gas tax isn't bringing the revenue that it once did. I myself personally do not drive that often but I have many friends who commute 40-100 miles a day for work. Even a simple road trip for a vacation could end up being a financial burden at the end of the year. very curious to see how all this plays out.
such power
It always amazes me, how beautiful something we see every day can be. From one part of the world to another how something can look so different depending on where you are.

Swimming is a sport that burns a lot of calories and works every major muscle group. It is easy on your joints, builds muscular strength and endurance while also improving cardiovascular fitness. This is a sport that requires the most professional of athletes to be thorough in their preparation for competition.
To be a successful swimmer you need to control your training and diet. Swimmers have high nutrition needs due to their intense workouts as they burn so many calories when training they need to re-gain all the energy and nutrition that they lose whilst working out. Swimming also demands a lot from an individual as training can take place twice a day and involves both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism depending on the distance.
A vast amount of power is needed along with efficient techniques when swimming as there are high rates of energy turnover. When recovering after training or competitions, glycogen stores must be rapidly restored so that the quality of performance does not dip below expected levels. Recovery supplements can aid in helping to replenish glycogen stores and should be consumed during the first hour after training. According to a Dietetic Association swimmers need to consume between 3,000 to 6,000 calories a day to provide their bodies with enough energy and stamina to keep going throughout their training sessions. This amount of calories is a lot in comparison to calories that a 'normal' person is required to have in their daily diet. This shows just how much energy swimmers use when training and competing when swimming. Swimming supplements are a great way to boost energy levels, protect muscle damage, and it adds to the much-needed vitamins and minerals that swimmers need in order to succeed.
One of the best supplements for swimmers is protein as protein helps swimmers to repair muscle damage due to tough work outs. Supplements for swimmers are a great way to enhance performance, and here at Kinetica we provide an impressive selection of swimming supplements in various forms. This ranges from protein, Omega 3, recovery supplements and energy supplements and many more. Each of the swimming supplements are offered in a wide variety of tasty flavours as well as being available in capsules, snack bars, gels, shakes and many more. Kinetica have designed their products to ensure there is a supplement for many different types of swimmers who each have their own lifestyle and taste preference.

One of the chief disadvantages of individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and qualified plans such as 401(k)s is that you can't usually withdraw money from them before age 59-1/2 without paying a 10% early withdrawal penalty. There are circumstances in which an exception can be made -- for example, if you become disabled, buy your first home, or pay for higher education. However, you may want or need to withdraw funds for other reasons that don't qualify for one of these exceptions. For example, you may simply want to retire early and begin drawing down the income in your IRA for living expenses, or you may incur a debt or other expense that you need to pay off now and don't have other available funds to use.
Fortunately, there's a way for retirement savers to take at least a stream of income from their tax-deferred retirement accounts before age 59-1/2. IRS rule 72(t) allows for early withdrawals of "substantially equal periodic payments" (SEPPs). A SEPP is a certain amount of money you can withdraw from your IRA or qualified account each year. Note that qualified plan participants cannot start a SEPP program if they are still working for the employer that sponsors the plan.
However, this allowance comes with some big caveats and commitments that you should be aware of.
Possible disadvantages
Once you start taking a SEPP, you must take the distribution annually; it cannot be postponed for more than a year. This distribution must also be taken for at least five years or until the account owner reaches age 59-1/2 -- whichever comes last.
For example, a 58-year-old who takes out a SEPP distribution must continue to do so until he or she reaches age 63. He or she cannot stop this distribution at age 59-1/2, because in this case, the five-year minimum has not been satisfied. Anyone who is 54 years old or younger must continue with their 72(t) payout until they are at least age 59-1/2. Once the longer of these two windows of time has been met, distributions can be stopped without penalty.
Many financial planners discourage their clients from taking this kind of distribution, because if it is altered in any way before the time or age limit is satisfied, then all distributions that have been taken under this rule will suddenly become taxable. For example, a client could elect to take this type of distribution and have it deposited into his or her savings account. If this person then switches to a different savings account at another bank and forgets to notify the IRS of the change in a timely fashion, then the next distribution that is paid into the closed account will kick back to the IRS, and the stream of payments will be interrupted. He or she will have to declare the entire amount of all previous distributions that were taken as an early withdrawal that is subject to the 10% penalty.
This can be a nasty surprise for a client who has this type of payment plan all worked out and then has it disrupted for any reason. Those who are forced to pay taxes and penalties on all of their prior SEPP distributions may end up in a higher tax bracket for the year and thus pay unnecessary taxes. However, an exception to this rule is made in the event of death, disability, or account depletion. For these reasons, most financial planners discourage their clients from taking SEPP distributions unless it is absolutely necessary.
Another key disadvantage that comes with taking SEPP distributions is that they disallow the owner from making any further contributions to their IRA while the plan is in effect. However, they can still contribute to another IRA or qualified plan while they take their SEPP.
Determining the amount of SEPPs
There are three separate methods that you can use to calculate your distribution amount each year.
- The amoritzation method: Under this method, the payout is calculated based on the life expectancy of the IRA or qualified plan owner and their beneficiary, if there is one. An assumed rate of interest is factored into the calculation, and an identical amount is paid out each year.
- The annuitization method: Like the amortization method, payments under this method will be the exact same amount each year and will use an assumed interest rate. This method calculates the payout using an annuity that is based on the participant's life expectancy (and that of their beneficiary if necessary). The annuity factor in the equation is drawn from the IRS mortality tables.
- The required minimum distribution method: This calculation will usually create a much smaller payout than the other two options. The amount that is paid under this method also changes each year, as it is calculated by dividing the current account balance by the participant's (and beneficiary's, if applicable) life expectancy factor each year. This has to be done each year, as the account balance can fluctuate, and life expectancies also change from year to year.
The IRA or retirement plan owner can also aggregate multiple accounts for the purpose of taking a larger distribution, and the aggregate payment can be drawn from only one of those accounts. However, they will not be allowed to contribute to any account upon which payments are calculated. For example, if someone has two IRAs and a 401(k) plan from a previous employer, and they use the aggregate account balances in all three accounts to calculate their payment, then they can take the entire payment from just one of those accounts, but they cannot make additional contributions into any of them. (Of course, they couldn't make further contributions into the 401(k) plan in any case, since they no longer work for that employer.) But they are not required to automatically aggregate all of their tax-deferred plans and accounts when they calculate their SEPPs; they may only use one of them if they so choose.
The rules also allow participants to make a one-time change from either of the first two methods listed above to the required minimum distribution method. This is because the IRS has found that account owners who use the amortization or annuitization method often deplete their retirement savings much faster than they had expected. So take that as a warning.
72(t) distributions can provide a handy way for you to begin drawing money from your retirement plans and accounts before age 59-1/2, but you'd better know what you are doing before you sign up. Be sure that you understand all of the applicable rules and follow them to a tee so you're not inadvertently hit with a substantial penalty. Some IRA and qualified plan owners who run afoul of these regulations end up setting themselves back a decade or more in their retirement planning, so don't be one of them. For more information on 72(t) distributions, visit the IRS website here or consult your tax or financial advisor.

The Bush administration told drug companies today that many of the techniques they use to sell their drugs run a high risk of violating federal fraud and abuse laws.
The warning came as the government issued a compliance guide for the drug industry, telling manufacturers that they must not offer any financial incentives to doctors, hospitals, insurers or pharmacists to encourage or reward the prescribing of particular drugs.
Such payments have ''a high potential for fraud and abuse,'' said the guide, issued by Janet Rehnquist, inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Federal law prohibits payments intended to generate business under Medicare or Medicaid, the federal health programs for 80 million older, disabled or poor people.
The law, known as the antikickback statute, forbids some practices that are common in other industries, Ms. Rehnquist said.Continue reading the main story
She said she was particularly concerned about marketing practices that drive up federal costs, interfere with clinical decision making and lead to overuse or inappropriate use of drugs.
Medicaid and Medicare spend more than $30 billion a year on prescription drugs. The amount would soar if President Bush and Congress agreed on a plan to provide comprehensive outpatient drug benefits to older people.
Drug companies objected to many provisions of the compliance guide when the government invited public comment on its ideas in October. The final version of the document clarifies the government's interpretation of the law and explains why federal officials oppose some drug company practices, including offering doctors gifts, payments and entertainment.
''Any time a pharmaceutical manufacturer provides anything of value to a physician who might prescribe the manufacturer's product, the manufacturer should examine whether it is providing a valuable tangible benefit to the physician with the intent to induce or reward referrals,'' the compliance guide says.
''A lawful purpose will not legitimize a payment that also has an unlawful purpose,'' it adds.
It also says drug companies risk prosecution when they encourage the use of their products by making payments to health plans and to the companies that manage drug benefits for millions of Americans. Such companies, known as pharmacy benefit managers, often receive money from the manufacturer of a drug if sales of that drug reach a certain level -- say 40 percent of the prescriptions for drugs that lower cholesterol.
The inspector general said such payments could violate the law.
To help control costs and improve the quality of care, many health plans and benefit managers establish lists of recommended drugs, known as formularies.
If a drug is on such lists, its sales can rise rapidly. Given the importance of formularies, Ms. Rehnquist said, ''some unscrupulous manufacturers and sales representatives'' offer payments to the people who develop them. The payments ''are suspect,'' she said.
Ms. Rehnquist said consumers could benefit from legitimate discounts, defined as a reduction in the price of a prescription drug ''properly disclosed and accurately reported.''
Drug companies and benefit managers can protect themselves, she said, by disclosing their financial arrangements to the people who pay for prescription drugs, including employer-sponsored health plans.
Those arrangements have long been shrouded in secrecy. But in advertisements last week, one benefit manager, Express Scripts, promised to ''provide our clients with a detailed disclosure of our sources of revenue and financial relationships with drug manufacturers.''
Ms. Rehnquist also warned drug companies that their research and education grants must be divorced from their marketing, or they risk violating the law.
If a drug company has any influence over the content of a professional education program or the choice of speakers, ''there is a risk that the program may be used for inappropriate marketing purposes,'' the compliance guide says.
It also says that when drug companies pay doctors to conduct research, they must make sure the research is legitimate, ''not simply a pretext to generate prescriptions of a drug.''
Research and education grants are suspect if they are ''based in any way, expressly or implicitly,'' on a doctor's ability to generate business for a drug maker, the guide says.
Ms. Rehnquist said drug makers might violate the law when they pay doctors for the opportunity to observe the treatment of patients. Drug companies defend these programs as a way to educate their sales agents. But Ms. Rehnquist said the payments could also be a subtle way to encourage or reward the use of particular medicines.
Ms. Rehnquist also condemned a new arrangement under which drug companies pay doctors for the time they spend listening to sales pitches. The pitches are typically made by a sales representative who visits doctors in their offices.
These payments ''are highly suspect under the antikickback statute, are highly susceptible to fraud and abuse and should be strongly discouraged,'' the guide says.
Medicare and Medicaid often pay for prescription drugs based on price and sales data reported to the government by drug makers. Ms. Rehnquist said drug companies had often tried to maximize their income by reporting inaccurate data in violation of the False Claims Act.
Under federal law, state Medicaid programs are often entitled to the ''best price'' a drug company offers to other buyers. But, Ms. Rehnquist said, companies sometimes conceal the discounts they give other buyers.
''Manufacturers have a strong financial incentive to hide de facto pricing concessions to other purchasers, to avoid passing on the same discount to the states,'' the compliance guide says. Drug companies are responsible for the integrity of the data they report to the government, and the data must take account of any discounts, rebates, price concessions or other benefits offered to private purchasers, it says.
Ms. Rehnquist said a drug company's commitment to fighting fraud and abuse could be measured by the way it trains and pays its sales agents. Excessive compensation can be evidence of ''improper intent,'' the compliance guide says.
''For example,'' it says, ''if a manufacturer provides sales employees with extraordinary incentive bonuses and expense accounts, there may well be an inference to be drawn that the manufacturer intentionally motivated the sales force to induce sales through lavish entertainment or other remuneration.''Continue reading the main story

InterKey is a small hosting provider company that services Linux users only.
The Hosting Package
InterKey has a few Linux-only web hosting packages. Their Basic package costs $19.95 a month, giving you 125 MB of disk space and 11 GB of monthly transfer traffic. The next package is the Small Biz package, costing $29.95 a month for 250 MB of disk space and 15 GB of monthly transfer traffic. The Professional package costs $49.95 per month for the 375 MB space and 20 GB transfer while their most expensive package, the Enterprise package, sets you back $79.95 per month for the 600 MB disk space and 30 GB monthly allocated transfer.
What's Great About InterKey?
- Always Available Customer Support Line
Unlike other companies that advertise 24/7 support but once you give them a call, you can't get through any of their numbers, InterKey actually lives up to that promise. You can always get in touch with any of their customer support staff members, any time of the day. The same goes for their email support staff.
- Pretty Good Pricing
Their packages are competitive, considering the value that they are offering. This is a good starting point for those who are just starting their own web services and want to minimize the financial risk by getting the cheapest possible web services that fit their needs.
- Established Provider
They've been around for more than ten years, which makes them one of the grandpa's in the hosting industry. This length of time in the business assures you that not only are they doing their job well, that people actually try and keep their service, or else, they will not be around until today.
- Spam and Virus Filtering
For those who value the email service in their web projects, you will be happy to know that InterKey has a spam and virus filtering mechanism in place by default, on all of their customer's servers. This gives you added security and implies less operational costs for you since you do not need to develop this feature on your own.
What's Disappointing About InterKey?
✖ Technical Support Staff
Although their technical support staff is always available, they are not the smartest bunch. There are times where you feel that you are going in circles. They should better train their staff. Although being available is a step in the right direction, they should now focus on providing quality customer support.
✖ Occasional Outages
There are reports of unplanned and unscheduled outages, which can be catastrophic if your site is high traffic or needs its updates accurate all of the time. Although the instances are rare, it still keeps you on your toes.
✖ Limited Packages
They do not have the most varied line up of packages, unlike other hosting providers. You might need to look for another partner if you see your project rapidly expanding and suddenly needing a different kind of hosting set up.
The Bottom Line
If you are looking for an old timer in the web hosting industry, then you can go with Interkey. But if you are looking for a company that has a wider set of packages, which includes support for Windows, then you should look for somebody else to partner with.

*wiping forehead*.... wheewww ... ok I already know how this one's going to go. So let me put my disclaimer in big bold letters ..... THIS IS MY OPINION.... NOT "GOSPEL"....
Ok, love? What's up with it? Does it really exist? Was it created just for the government to make more money? Hmm... let us ponder on this for a second.................. Done pondering? Ok.... here's a couple of theories you might want to check out.
Love as defined on dictionary.com give these three definitions....
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
I don't know about you but where I'm from that last one is called being horny. Not love. And the other two. If this was in fact true then let me ask a question. The first person you ever "loved", where are they now? If love is so strong shouldn't your first love be the one that sticks? Or is it all a big brain wash?
The government creates a day called valentines day out the blue in 1847 to exploit peoples feelings and turn them into money. Look it up if you don't believe me. People wasn't waiting on a day to show their "love" before that. Or maybe there really wasn't any love and no one thought about it until valentines day was created. Love or Brain wash?
What to say of marriage? Has to be love right? OR is it just a compromise? In those two people's sub conscious are they saying I love this person that's why I'm doing this. Or are they really saying, I'm getting old, chasing booty calls is getting tiring, I like this person enough to put up with them and we can go half on allot of things so the bills wont be high.
Really question this love word, feeling, creation, what ever you want to call it.
Does this cupid fellow have everyone fooled? You tell me....
Much..... "LOVE"

So Sean Casey's not in his rehab stint with the PawSox for more than 24 hours and he's already hooked up his teammates with free meat. As in steaks from the Capital Grille.
First, rehabbing Red Sox infielder Alex Cora had food from Capriccio delivered after Wednesday night's game. Then Sean Casey followed that up with takeout from Capital Grille after yesterday's 3-2 matinee victory.
It's tradition for a major-leaguer who is rehabbing in the minors to treat the minor-leaguers to a deluxe meal, but having Cora and Casey around the last couple of days also sets an example for these players at Triple A.
"These guys are going to eat right with me and Cora here," Casey said with a laugh.
"I'm having a ball with these guys," said PawSox manager Ron Johnson as he devoured his filet mignon. "These guys are a lot of fun to be around."
A lot of fun, indeed. Listen, anyone who stays at my place can basically piss on the floor and store rare viruses in the fridge so long as they're bringing red meat. Because — and I believe Johnson will back me up on this — nothing rocks my world like a free f@#king steak.
Honestly, I can also see Casey handing out platinum BFF badges to all his teammates, warning them to avoid free-form jazz clubs where "everyone's on the junk," and offering to co-sign auto loans for any fans in the stands who are challenged by current economic conditions. He just seems like that kinda good.
And while the lads in Pawtucket were getting steaks, He Whose Beard Frightens Children was getting cookies, according to Jim Leyland:
"Our entire staff did a poor, poor job the entire series against Youkilis," Leyland said. "Not with the thought process but executing pitches. We just gave him cookie after cookie and he just beat our brains out."
All this plus the 1,000th career strikeout for Commander Kickass of the F@#k Yeah Brigade. Come correct!

Marriage Records
From Records
at Lincoln's City Hall
Marriages in Lincoln County were recorded in the Clerk of the District Court office at the Lincoln County Courthouse from the early 1870s until today. Those records are indexed by bride's and groom's surname and can be requested by mail.
However, another marriage record was kept sporadically at the City Hall in Lincoln. Although the records were kept in city books, the marriages encompass the entire county and include couples who came to the county from elsewhere to marry. These records span these dates:
Jan. 1, 1886-December 1888
July 1, 1899-Nov. 27, 1902
The marriages in the City Hall records will be no different than the ones at the courthouse, BUT they are far more detailed than those kept at the courthouse. The ledger book into which these records were copied included these categories: groom's name, residence, occupation, age, race/color, place of birth, father's name, mother's maiden name, number of marriages; bride's name, maiden name if she was a widow, residence, age, race/color, place of birth, father's name, mother's maiden name, number of marriages; when and where the couple was married; who performed the marriage, and that person's office. (The ledger also included a space for witnesses but that category – and only that category – was never filled in, so it was left out of the transcription.)
In some cases, the name of the mother of the bride or groom is given as her married name, not her maiden name. Occasionally, some lines were left blank. But by and large, the information is present for all the unions.
These records were transcribed by hand by Tracee Hamilton beginning in the summer of 2005. Below are links to the records, alphabetized by the groom's surname, and an alphabetized list of the bride's surnames, with the corresponding groom.
Copies of the original records are NOT available; the employees at City Hall will transcribe records but will not Xerox them. So what you find in this transcription is all that is available. I have included the Book, Page and Record number for each marriage for citation purposes. Some of the pages were not numbered; some were.
