Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday a lawsuit against State Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada, charging that he and his family stole more than $14 million from his Bronx non profit.
The lawsuit alleges that for over five years, Espada "looted" the state- and federally-funded Comprehensive Community Development Corporation, also known as Soundview.
The organization was founded by Espada in 1978 with the purpose of providing health care to residents of the South Bronx.
Espada, who serves as the president and chief executive officer of the non-profit organization, is accused of diverting its charitable assets to his family, friends and his political operations.
The money was allegedly used for a wide variety of expenses including vacations, campaign bills and thousands of dollars in restaurant visits – many located in Westchester where critics charge Espada makes his primary residence. Funds were also allegedly used to pay the mortgage on Espada's Bronx apartment.
Nineteen current and former executives, which includes Espada's niece, daughter-in-law, boyfriend of his sister, two uncles and employees of the New York State Senate, were also named in the suit filed in New York State Supreme Court.
Cuomo says the majority leader packed the clinic's leadership with people who blindly followed his orders – and gave him an "extravagant" compensation package.
"This was not an independent objective board of directors; this was a packed board of directors filled with family or friends who Mr. Espada could control directly or indirectly," Cuomo said.
Cuomo's lawsuit aims to remove Espada and the officers of Soundview from the board. It also seeks to require Espada and Chief Financial Officer Kenneth Brennan to pay restitution and damages and attempts to nullify a $9 million severance package that Espada allegedly received.
Espada has repeatedly denied all charges and called the investigation politically motivated.
"It is clear to me the motivation behind all of this is simple political payback for what the establishment likes to call the senate coup," said Espada during a brief press conference Tuesday.
Cuomo says the investigation is still ongoing and criminal charges could be forthcoming.
While Espada's senate colleagues declined to comment, his primary opponent this fall, Desiree Pilgrim-Hunter, said in a statement, "The Attorney General's complaint details a shameful story of an elected official taking resources from the community he represents - instead of bring[ing] resources to the community."

Ex-Spur Horry says Lakers' Fisher is long in the tooth
At the recent ESPYS, there were a ton of athletes both past and present at the annual event. One was former San Antonio Spurs player Robert Horry.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Horry made some comments on the weakest link of the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I think they need another good point guard. No disrespect to Derek Fisher. But Derek is long in the tooth. I've been there, done that. I understand that. They need to get a point guard who can distribute the ball, get people in order and not be afraid to tell Kobe [Bryant], 'no.'"
"Big Shot Bob" is a man with the rings to back up his comments. Horry won seven rings in his career: two with the Houston Rockets, three with the Los Angeles Lakers, and two with the Spurs. Although Horry's comments are just stating the obvious, everyone knows the Lakers' weakest spot is the point guard spot.
And for Spurs fans, Fisher will always haunt their dreams with the infamous .4 shot.
Fisher; however, has five rings himself and is entrenched with labor talks as the President of the Players Union these days. And with the added pressure of the CBA negotiations, who is to say that stress hasn't hastened the aging process.
Thoughts Spurs fans? Should the Lakers seek out younger legs at point guard or is a veteran like Fisher enough for Los Angeles?

New Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man
Forked from: Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man Inn is notorious for attracting adventurers from all over the world, and many a tale told starts with an anxious employer entering the rowdy common room of that establishment. The best known inn in town it has not one but two "authentic Old Vic skins" decorating its walls.
The Hanged Man Inn contains a portal to the Drowned Man, a tavern on Bacarte. It functions much the same way save that the Hanged Man charges significantly more for the three drinks required to get through the portal reliably.
It is common practice for those that visit the Hanged Man to introduce themselves, even if it is not their true name. The bouncers like to know the name of who they may have to rough up later.
OOC: This is the new tavern thread. Feel free to interact here while not on adventure.

Ah, now that is an experience, rubbing shoulders with the Gods, smiting, and so forth... Veruzak exclaims to Montroya, turning his head again to Matlal, I've done nothing as great as all that! Most of my markings come from arcane contests as a youth, who can blow up the most this, who can scorch the most that, the hood is flipped back from Veruzak's face, revealing lines of arcane writing, The markings on my face show that I'm of the Ver tribe, Veruza is my mother, and that I'm trained in war casting. It's a technique our tribe has passed down over the generations. Has to do with spreading the flow of shadow out. The Eladrin smiles, thinking of the Shadowlands, Growing up in the Shadowlands will have an effect on ones shadow, they say that if a being garners enough power, their shadow will walk of it's own volition. Mine just hides from the light, and tries to escape occasionally, it just can't leech enough power off me to detach. I'll have to be careful later in life not to lose him though.
The hood flips back up as Veruzak finishes his story. He continues to face Montroya, and thinks, *I don't trust anyone who has been around the Gods, the fickle... Mireva hiding... enlightened... * his train of thought bounces forth and back again, Do the shadows not writhe in the Valley?

ø Ignore VelmontThe large human, heavily armored and armed, sits on his stool at the bar, quietly drinking his mug of ale, and ignoring at the moment the chit chat of the crew.
"Experience is that great thing that allow you to see a mistake when you do it again."
Wednesday, 8th July, 2009, 10:03 PM #4Matlal nods curtly, digesting the information. "Only da spellcastas in I's tribe take on tattoos. Dey represen' spiritual an' magical battles, martial fights are jus' remembered wit' scars." He seems rather intrigued by the idea of one's shadow running off, grinning as he thought it over in his head (even if it'd be a rather unfortunate occurance), "Wha's da consequences if ja shadow does get away? Also, ta answa ja question, only da priests a' Tezcatlipoca, da Smoking Mirror, have dat talent as far as I know. Dere shadows start ta smolder and smoke like incense during dere rituals."

Everyone in the Shadowlands takes body modification very seriously, well almost everyone... The wizard smiles at the mention of priests and smoking mirors, Smoke and mirrors is my business, no small wonder then that they cause the shadow to react.
The wizard stops politely, leaving a gap of silence for the Deva to step into the conversation again.
Ha ha, yes, memory is an elusive bugger, maybe I'll look into a memory restoration ritual... Most of them have to do with getting rid of a memory, which people will pay handsomely for mind you, that's why alcohol is so popular...
Sipping the beer in front of him, Veruzak continues, Yes, the Gods have enough power, and I'm sure that some of their shadows have attempted an escape. Of those shadows that are successful, some get trapped, creating Dread Domains, eerie places in the Shadowlands with no exit. Others simply hide like cowards, the rest of their inky existence. Setting the beer down, and glancing back toward Matlal, Once your shadow escapes, it's imperative that it be hunt down, and reattached. Needle and thread will work, if it is given even the most minor of enchantments. Shadows, like names, or personal objects, carry power. Rituals can exploit that power. Veruzak busts out with a loud chuckle, There are some sheep on the Isle of O, oh you have to see it someday, no shadow, no name, no soul... They all used to be Warlocks, until they made a grievous mistake in trusting some upstart... The point of the story is, don't lose personal objects, don't give out the name that truly defines you, and don't lose your shadow. The laws on Magic are still catching up to what we are capable of, it's hard to charge someone with murder, when the corpse is still up walking and talking, if you know what I mean. Veruzak pauses, and resumes as if the unpleasant conversation never happened,
Sometimes it's great when your shadow gets away though! Like when they come back, and want to be your friend. I've seen shadows walk alongside their owner, free as can be. They gods may have such a luxury.
Oh, almost forgot, if you die, your shadow dies. It's much like a parasite. Without great amounts of power, most shadows couldn't get more than fifty feet away, even after detaching. Doesn't make 'em an easier to catch. Papa used to let us chase his...
Eladrin orbs glaze over in reflection,

As the doors to the Hanged Man open a Tall, muscular shifter walks in with dark brown skin and long brown hair. Wearing hide armor that looks weathered and as if it had seen more then a little action and a pair of long swords at his hips he looks as if he would be ready at a moments notice. Taking a moment he shifts the empty quiver on his back next to his short bow as he takes in the room.
With a quick glance around the room he smiles and speaks up in a gruff voice "I'm Tor" he says in a simple and straight foreward manner. Moving deeper into the establishment he looks around trying to keep an eye out for anything interesting.

There is a new Canadian company named Effbe which produces some long awaited, clever problems solvers for easier garbage and recycling!The company manufacturers these "Floating Blue Bin" brackets which brilliantly organize & manage standard bins on the wall! They get the bins off of the floor or ground to reduce clutter, make more room for parking cars in garage or more room for the lawn mower. Best of all, they do it without having to build shelves!! The patented bracket hooks into the bin's lip for easy lift and replacing---------smart! Great for inside a shed or mud room if that is where you keep bins. They sell in a pack of 2 with all mounting hardware for $10 at Solution Stores & LeeValley Tools.Another clever one is their Bin Guard item. It is a spring loaded metal latch for RACCOON proofing the clumsy city green bins! The kit comes complete with the clever latch, mounting hardware & instructions...even drill bit included to drill 2 holes. Easy installation & use ----------this bad boy really works! Unlike some of the fabric straps and plastic snap things on the market ( i won't even mention the impossible to get city version latch) , this is all metal so animal teeth can not chew it. It is quite strong and it engages with the bin's existing latch...simple one finger pull design..even with gloves on!. $10 at Beach Hardware and perhaps soon a Solutions Stores also! I'm keeping my green bin by the side door this winter Some pics and other info/stores mentioned here:Floating Bins: http://www.prlog.org/10387318-floating-blue-bins-help-to-reclaim-your-floor-space-and-drive-your-clutter-up-the-wall.html Bin Guard: http://www.prlog.org/10351591-municipal-green-bins-are-finally-raccoon-proof-with-nononsense-lidlatchlock-made-of-steel.html These are perfect stocking stuffer gifts...and the right size for it too!WELL DONE EFFBE! website: www.effbeworld.com
Those floating bin brackets are a great idea. My hubby made his own to keep one of our blue bins up off the ground so that we could fit another underneath it. We would have bought one of these if they'd been available (may still get a couple). We have found it really handy to have one of the bins mounted on the wall.

Keselowski edges Junior on last lap in Las Vegas
Dale Earnhardt Jr. knew he probably didn't have enough fuel to finish. Being in Vegas, he decided to gamble anyway.
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Dale Earnhardt Jr. knew he probably didn't have enough fuel to finish. Being in Vegas, he decided to gamble anyway.
Drivers have mixed reactions to NASCAR's new qualifying format after using it last week at Phoenix.
It's been 10 years since a driver last attempted running both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, a feat so grueling that only Tony Stewart has successfully completed all 1,100 miles.
Kevin Harvick had a nice send-off with Richard Childress Racing, winning his penultimate race with the team at Phoenix International Raceway.
NASCAR's most popular driver won the sport's biggest race last weekend.
A few drivers, like Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, raced onto the track to get in their qualifying sessions. Others waited, some nearly 10 minutes, before heading out for the first time.
An automotive writer thought Jeff Gordon's wild driving in a Pepsi commercial was fake. Now watch Gordon take the writer on a fake police chase.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCARs most popular driver for the past 11 years, carried the burden of not only living up to the expectations of a team that has won 11 Sprint Cup championships in the last 19 years, but he also bore the weight of being the face of his sport. Not until Earnhardt won the Daytona 500 last Sunday just his third win in 215 starts for Hendrick Motorsports did he feel the pressure was lifted.
While celebrating his Daytona 500 win in victory lane on Sunday night, Dale Earnhardt Jr. affixed a new decal above the driver's side door on his No. 88 Chevrolet.
On the day and night that signaled the return of his late fathers iconic No. 3 to the track, Dale Jr. outraced Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski on Sunday night and won the rain-delayed Daytona 500.
The 6-hour, 21-minute, 40-second rain delay Sunday marked the fourth time in the last five years that the Daytona 500 was affected by inclement conditions.
Through rain and wrecks, on Daytona's longest day, this was a drought Dale Earnhardt Jr. was determined to end. NASCAR's most popular driver won the Daytona 500 for the second time a decade after his first victory to snap a 55-race losing streak dating to 2012.
The Friday-night ARCA series race is the poor stepchild of racing at Kansas Speedway. But those who leave the track after qualifying for the Sprint Cup race is completed each October might want to consider this: Three of the last five winners of the ARCA race at Kansas Speedway were in the field for Sunday's Daytona 500.
Regan Smith outdueled Brad Keselowski by a nose Saturday to win the DRIVE4COPD 300 Nationwide Series race by 0.013 of a second, the seventh-closest all-time finish in Nationwide history and second-closest in series history at Daytona.
A Chase for the Sprint Cup points championship this season would be Jimmie Johnsons seventh, and would tie him for the all-time lead with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt.
Hoping to boost television ratings on the brink of a new, 10-year, $8.2 billion package with Fox and NBC, not to mention build its attendance, NASCAR has implemented some revolutionary changes this season.
NASCAR was never known for its transparency for administrating penalties, but now specific offenses will carry specific sanctions, ranging from a loss of practice time for minor infractions to 150-point deductions for the most serious.
Nine drivers, including Martin Truex Jr., who had qualified second, will drop to the rear of the field in the Daytona 500 because they had to go to backup cars after wrecking in the Budweiser Duels or because of engine changes.
With the NASCAR Sprint Cup season starting with Sunday's Daytona 500, here are five drivers who can win it all and five who are on the hot seat.
Here are five Nationwide Series drivers to watch during the 2014 NASCAR season.
Here are five Camping World Truck Series drivers to watch during the 2014 season.
NASCAR is not alone in making changes to longstanding formats or adopting new policies as a way to enhance their sports.
NASCAR introduced the newly designed bodies for the Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra bodies in the Camping World Truck Series season-opening race on Friday night at Daytona.
There will be no lack of spirit among the drivers of the Stewart-Haas Racing team this season on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit. Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick make up one of the more interesting team combinations entering Sunday's Daytona 500.
After a turbulent 2013 season, Sprint Cup racer Clint Bowyer of Empora, Kan., takes aim on a new opportunity.

Sub'd. Be back to comment later.
Currently 10 weeks out from my next show. This will be my second bodybuilding show but my first NPC show. I'm currently 255-260 and I plan to get on stage around 235, but I may be closer to 225 after I drop water.
Here is my cycle:
10 out:
2g test e
900 mast e
900 tren e
100mg var/day
5 out:
Add 100mg winny and 30mg halo/day
drop test to 1g.
Sub'd. Be back to comment later.
4.5 grams of gear a week? I'm scared for you.....
You should b running test prop with the mast and tren, less bloat n stronger. That's the god stack for prep. 2g test god daym
Not a typo. Using all long esters. I will run enough letro to be dry. I'm not a small guy. I've been about 280 with abs showing and plan to be over 230 on stage. I'm 5'10".
Heavies, not Men's Physique I assume?
Just taking a glance at your previous posts, you've done it all, from hgh-slin-igf to cheque drops/high dosed tren + cycles lasting 16+ weeks or more. I can assure you there are knowledgeable guys here to help advise but I'd be surprised if anyone have run that much gear(even at your size) or would endorse the idea either. I realize your receptors need more and more but there has to be a point of diminishing returns with cycling like this where one has to consider running more responsible doses year round. Just .02
Sorry I can't figure out how to quote on my phone. But super heavyweights I hope. Might make 225, but i doubt it. I'm now being advised by some of the top bodybuilders in the country, so I will no longer be coming off. I will run 350-700mg of test a week year round from here on out. I will also be running hgh on/off indefinitely. I have never actually used slin, but will probably in the future. My training partner and the people advising me would like me to cycle igf then slin on/off for 4-8 each. I however am slightly worried about the long term effects of slin regarding diabetes. I am no dummy but I still like to see what others think. When I get on stage with 21" arms and striated glutes, ill be where I want to be at my first NPC show this fall. Then it's time to add some more mass and get to ifbb pro size before I make a run at USAs in a couple years.
Tried to upload a couple but isn't working. Ill have to once I get wifi tonight after work
Pics will not upload. If you really need to see pics msg me and ill send you a link to one of my social media pages.
You should not be running that much test, not only are you causing yourself more side effects but you are masking the effects of the other drugs. Plus that much test is going to make dropping your water a bitch to do. You only need to run enough test to maintain erectile function, that way the other compounds can shine. Also do yourself a favor and switch over to test p.
Well guys. I had an order of my gear get completely screwed so I am going to be using what I ended up having around. Here is what my cycle will be...
Injectables- Weeks 8-3 days out:
1000 tren a
1000 mast a
1050 test e (test will be lowered to 700 at 5 weeks out and then lowered to 350 at 3 weeks out)
Var-150mg- weeks 8-show
Win-100mg- weeks 6-show
Halo-45mg- weeks 4-show
Letro-5mg- weeks 2-show
Clen-100mcg- weeks 8,7,4,3

Blues Hold Off Huns |
Clubs - Men's DI Clubs |
The Blues fell behind 7-0 when the Huns scored a converted try in the opening minutes. The Blues went back on attack shortly after the kickoff, and fullback Jordan Neville slotted a penalty kick to put them on the board. The Austin forwards controlled the tackle area early with strong rucking, and the Blues were called for diving over, allowing the Huns to extend their lead back to 10-3. Neville made the first big break for the Blues, streaking up the sideline deep into Austin territory. As he was being caught, he kicked the ball to keep it alive, and the Austin defender tackled Neville late, drawing a penalty. The Blues wound up with a scrum about 15 yards from the try line, and Neville took a clever line tight off of flyhalf Kelly Mercer for the Blues' first touch down, tying the game at 10-10 after Neville's conversion kick. the Huns and Blues swapped penalty kicks before halftime and were knotted at 13-13 at intermission. The Blues owned possession and territory in the second half, but tough goal line defense from the Huns turned them over twice. Once the Blues lost the ball forward in a tackle, and the second time wing Kevin Schwartze ended a promising attack by passing to the Huns. The Blues took their first lead in the 66th minute when they showed some patience near pay dirt and prop Alain Miriallakis bursted through the Austin defense for a short-range try. Neville hit the conversion to put Kansas City up 20-13. Scrumhalf Casey Cummings nearly scored shortly after, but he was brought down by the collar from behind, drawing a penalty directly in front of the posts. Neville nailed the kick, extending the lead to 23-13. With about 10 minutes left on the clock, Austin's left wing made a probing run but was slowed down shy of the goal line and laid a kick into the try zone. Blues wing Kenny Scott scooped up the ball, but was shoved out of bounds in the try zone, giving Austin a five-meter scrum. Reserve lock David Brown bowled over for a try after series of rucks following the set piece, but the conversion was missed, leaving Austin down 23-18 with less than 10 minutes to go. The Huns put together a promising comeback drive, utilizing slow ball from the ruck to inch down the field. They were helped tremendously by a rash of Blues penalties, as Kansas City was desperate to get possession and end the game. The Huns' hopes were dashed when they grubbered near the Kansas City 22 at full time. The Blues gathered the ball and kept possession until the final whistle. Awaiting the Blues in Chula Vista will be the East Palo Alto Bulldogs, who defeated Las Vegas Saturday. |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The identity of the man police were chasing Sunday morning - a chase that ended with two deaths - came to light on Monday.
Brian Scott Good, 31 of Milliken, is the man who first led police on a chase at about 9 p.m. Saturday, then was spotted again after midnight by Charleston Patrolman Jerry Jones, according to a press statement from Kanawha County Sheriff's Lt. Sean Crosier.
Charleston officers shot and killed Good after he began ramming their cruisers with his car, police say. Jones died after he was hit by friendly fire.
Crosier said no other information about the sheriff's department investigation into the incident would be released Monday.
Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster said a memorial for Jones will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. today at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium. The funeral will be 11 a.m. Wednesday, he said.
Early Sunday morning, Jones pursued the car Good was driving from the intersection of Washington Street and Ruffner Avenue to Greenbrier Street, then onto Quick Road north of the city, Webster said.
Webster said it is routine for police to chase suspects past the city limits.
"It was a hot-pursuit situation. The shift commander was monitoring the situation," he said. "It was just like when police from other cities come into Charleston in pursuit."
The driver, now known to be Good, had a female passenger in the car, he said.
Good pulled over in a gravel area on Quick Road, Mayor Danny Jones said Sunday. By then, three other police officers in their patrol cars had joined the chase. Good rammed one of the police cars "full throttle" Webster said. Good tried to push through the vehicle, Webster said. He then backed up and rammed again into two other vehicles, trying to push them out of the way.
It was then that police opened fire, shooting Good and Jones, he said.
Jones' family declined to be interviewed Monday in light of the news that he had been killed by friendly fire.
"We just don't want to comment," Jones' father, Jerry L. Jones, said. "I personally don't think there was any wrongdoing."
Good's criminal background
According to court filings, Good was charged with domestic assault and domestic battery on April 17, when a woman said he had a knife and threatened to kill her. She also said Good threatened to kill her when she went to bed. He would not leave the residence, she said in a victim's statement. The woman said he punched her in the leg.
Good has numerous previous charges as well, including brandishing a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, assault, possession of a meth lab, intent to deliver meth and breaking and entering.
Good's criminal history includes a malicious wounding conviction in 2000 for striking his then-girlfriend's father in the head with a fireplace poker. According to court documents, Good interrupted a party at Robert Hall's home in August 1999, and dragged Hall's daughter from the residence.
As part of his agreement with prosecutors, Good also pleaded guilty to domestic battery, a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to two to 10 years in prison, with credit for 441 days served while awaiting resolution of the charges against him.
In September 2001, Good's lawyer asked Kanawha Circuit Judge Duke Bloom to shorten Good's sentence, noting that he had completed courses in "Rational Cognitive Therapy" and "Coping with Anger" while incarcerated.

Reign | 13 February 1660 – 5 April 1697 |
Coronation | 28 September 1675 |
Predecessor | Charles X |
Successor | Charles XII |
Regent | Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp |
Spouse | Ulrike Eleonora of Denmark |
Issue | |
Hedvig Sophia, Duchess of Holstein-Gottorp Charles XII, King of Sweden Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden |
House | Palatinate-Zweibrücken |
Father | Charles X, King of Sweden |
Mother | Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp |
Born | 24 November 1655 Tre Kronor, Sweden |
Died | 5 April 1697 Tre Kronor, Sweden |
(aged 41)
Burial | Riddarholmen Church, Stockholm |
Religion | Lutheran |
Charles XI also Carl, Swedish: Karl XI (24 November 1655old style – 5 April 1697old style[1]) was King of Sweden from 1660 until his death, in a period in Swedish history known as the Swedish empire (1611–1718).
Charles was the only son of King Charles X of Sweden and Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp. His father died when he was five years old, so Charles was educated by his governors until his coronation at the age of seventeen. Soon after, he was forced out on military expeditions to secure the recently acquired dominions from Danish troops in the Scanian War. Having successfully fought off the Danes, he returned to Stockholm and engaged in correcting the country's neglected political, financial and economic situation, managing to sustain peace during the remaining 20 years of his reign. Changes in finance, commerce, national maritime and land armaments, judicial procedure, church government and education emerged during this period.[2] Charles XI was succeeded by his only son Charles XII, who made use of the well-trained army in battles throughout Europe.
The fact that Charles was crowned as Charles XI does not mean that he was the 11th king of Sweden who had the name Charles. His father's name (as the 10th) was due to his great-grandfather, King Charles IX of Sweden (1604–1611), having adopted his own numeral by using a mythological History of Sweden. This descendant was actually the 5th King Charles.[3] The numbering tradition thus begun still continues, with the present king of Sweden being Carl XVI Gustaf.
Under guardian rule[edit]
Charles was born in the Stockholm Palace Tre Kronor in November 1655. His father Charles X of Sweden had left Sweden in July to fight in the war against Poland. After several years of warfare, the king returned in the winter of 1659 and gathered his family and the Riksdag of the Estates in Gothenburg. In mid-January 1660 he fell ill and one month later he wrote down his last will and died.[4]
Young Charles' education was left at the care of the regents appointed by his father. His mother Queen Hedvig Eleonora was the formal regent until Charles XI attained his majority on 18 December 1672, but she never involved herself much in politics.[5] During his first appearances in parliament, he talked to the government through her: he would whisper the questions he had to her, and she would ask them loud and clear. [6] As an adolescent, Charles devoted himself to sports and exercises, and his favourite pastime bear-hunting. He appeared ignorant of the very rudiments of statecraft and almost illiterate. His main difficulties were evident signs of dyslexia, a disability that was poorly understood in those days.[7][8][9] According to many contemporary sources, the king was considered poorly educated and therefore not qualified to conduct himself effectively in foreign affairs.[10] Charles was dependent on his mother and advisors to interact with the foreign envoys since he had no foreign language skills apart from a little German and was ignorant of the world outside the Swedish borders.[11]
Italian writer Lorenzo Magalotti visited Stockholm in 1674 and described Charles XI as "virtually afraid of everything, uneasy to talk to foreigners, and not daring to look anyone in the face". Other traits was a deep religious devotion: he was God-fearing, frequently prayed kneeling and attended sermons. Magalotti otherwise described the king's main pursuits as hunting, the upcoming war, and jokes.[12][13]
Scanian war[edit]
The situation in Europe was shaky during this time and Sweden was going through financial problems. The guardians of Charles XI decided to negotiate an alliance with France in 1671. This would ensure that Sweden would not be isolated in case of a war, and that the national finances would improve thanks to French subsidies.[14] France directed its aggression against the Dutch in 1672, and by the spring of 1674, Sweden was forced to take part by directing forces towards Brandenburg, under the lead of Karl Gustav Wrangel.[15]
Denmark was an ally of the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire, and it was evident that Sweden was on the verge to yet another war against Denmark. An attempted remedy was made by chancellor Nils Brahe, who traveled to Copenhagen, in the spring of 1675, to try to get the Danish princess Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark engaged to the Swedish king. In mid-June 1675, the engagement was officially proclaimed. However, when news arrived about the Swedish defeat in the Battle of Fehrbellin, Danish king Christian V declared war on Sweden in September.[16]
The Swedish Privy Council continued its internal feuds, and the king was forced to rule without them.[17] The 20-year old king was inexperienced and considered ill-served amidst what has been called the anarchy in the nation and dedicated the autumn in his newly formed camp in Scania to arm the Swedish nation for battle in the Scanian War. The Swedish soldiers in Scania were outnumbered and outequipped by the Danes and, in May 1676, these invaded Scania, taking Landskrona, Helsingborg, and proceeded through Bohuslän towards Halmstad. The King had to grow up quickly: he suddenly found himself alone and under great pressure.[2][18]
The victory at the Battle of Halmstad (17 August 1676), when Charles and his commander-in-chief Simon Grundel-Helmfelt defeated a Danish division, was the king's first gleam of good luck. Charles then continued south through Scania and arrived on the tableland of the flooded Kävlinge River – near Lund – on 11 November. The Danish army commanded by Christian V were positioned on the other side. It was impossible to cross the river and Charles had to wait for weeks until it froze. On 4 December the river froze and Charles launched a surprise attack on the Danish forces to fight the Battle of Lund.[2] This battle was one of the bloodiest engagements of its time. Of the over 20,000 combatants, about 8,000 perished on the battlefield.[2][19][20] All the Swedish commanders showed ability, but the chief glory of the day was attributed to Charles XI and his fighting spirit. The battle proved to be a decisive one for the rule of the Scanian lands and it has been described as the most significant event for Charles' personality; Charles commemorated this date for the rest of his life.[21][22]
In the following year, 9,000 men led by Charles routed 12,000 Danes at the Battle of Landskrona. This proved to be the last pitched battle of the war because, in September 1678, Christian V evacuated his army back to Zealand. In 1679, Louis XIV of France dictated the terms of a general pacification, and Charles XI, who is said to have bitterly resented "the insufferable tutelage" of the French king, was forced at last to acquiesce in a peace that managed to leave his empire practically intact.[2] Peace was made with Denmark in the treaties of Fontainebleau (1679) and Lund, and with Brandenburg in the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1679).
Post-war actions[edit]
Charles devoted the rest of his life avoiding further warfare by gaining larger independence in foreign affairs, while he also promoted the economy stabilization and a reorganization of the military. His remaining 20 years at the throne were the longest peace time of the Swedish Empire (1611–1718).[23]
In the first years, he was assisted by the man who had become his trusted prime-minister, Johan Göransson Gyllenstierna (1635–1680). Some sources say the king was basically dependent on Gyllenstierna,[24] but Gyllenstierna had a big influence upon Charles, at the very least. His sudden death in 1680 opened up the road to the monarch, and many men tried to get close to the king so they could take his place.[25]
Financial restoration[edit]
Sweden's weak economy had suffered during the war and was now in a deep crisis. Charles assembled the Riksdag of the Estates in October 1680. The assembly has been described as one of the most important held by the Riksdag of the Estates.[26] Here, the king finally pushed through the reduction ordeal, something that had been discussed in the Riksdag since 1650. It meant that any land or object previously owned by the crown and lent or given away — including counties, baronies and lordships — could be recovered. It affected many prominent persons of the nobility class, some of which were ruined. One of them was the former guardian and Lord Chief Justice Magnus De La Gardie, who among many other estates had to return the extravagant 248-room large Läckö Castle.[27] The reduction process involved the examination of every title deed in the kingdom — including the dominions — and it resulted in the complete readjustment of the nation's finances.[2][28][29]

According to legend in Sweden, Charles XI travelled around the country dressed as a farmer or simple traveller. In the legends he is referred to as the Greycoat (Swedish: Gråkappan). The reason why he dressed like an average person was to discover and identify corruption and oppression against the populace. There are many stories about him arriving to villages looking for corrupt church officials and sending them to the gallows. However, Charles XI never did travel alone,[according to whom?] he was always followed by a military cortegé. But he was one of the kings in Sweden during the era that travelled the most throughout the country. The stories of the Greycoat were published in a book by Arvid August Afzelius in the middle of the 19th century.
Another important decision made during the assembly was that of the Swedish Privy Council. Since 1634, it had been mandatory for the king to take the advice from this council. During the Scanian War, the members of the council had internal feuds, and the king more or less ruled without listening to their advice. At the 1680 assembly, he asked the estates whether he was still bound to the council, to which the estates gave him his desired reply: "he was not bound by anyone other than himself" ("envälde"), and thereby the absolute monarchy was formally established in Sweden.[30] The Riksdag of the Estates confirmed his power in 1693 by officially proclaiming that the king was the sole ruler of Sweden.[31]
Military restructure[edit]
In the 1682 assembly of the Riksdag of the Estates, the king put forth his suggestion for a military reform, whereby each of the lands of Sweden were to have 1,200 soldiers at disposal, at all times, and two farms were to provide accommodations for one soldier. His soldiers were known as Caroleans and were trained to be skilled and to prefer attack to defence. Savaging and looting was strictly forbidden. The soldier huts around the country were the most visible part of the new Swedish allotment system. However, Charles also modernized the military techniques and worked to improve the overall skill and knowledge of the officers by sending them abroad to study.[32][33]
The Royal Swedish Navy was improved with the founding of the Karlskrona naval base in 1680, that became the navy's stronghold since then. It is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[32][33]
Assimilation of the newest dominions[edit]
Charles felt it very important to assimilate the new Swedish dominions of Scania, Blekinge, Halland, in southern Sweden; Bohuslän and Jämtland, in southwest Sweden, and the island of Gotland. Some assimilation policies included: the ban of all books written in Danish or Norwegian, thus breaking the promise made at the Treaty of Roskilde; the use of Swedish language in the conduction of sermons; and all new priests and teachers having to come from Sweden.[34][35]
The king had seen bitter resentment from the Scanian peasants during the Scanian War and was particularly tough on that province. The guerrilla Snapphane-movement, in northern Scania, had attacked his soldiers and stolen his money. They also had strong support by the local villages. Charles remained sceptical about the Scanian inhabitants, throughout his life. He did not allow soldiers from Scania in his Scanian regiment: the 1,200 soldiers that were to be stationed in Scania had to be recruited from more northern provinces. He also advocated rough treatment of the inhabitants, and the first Governor-General of Scania, his trusted aide Johan Gyllenstierna (governor-general 1679–1680) was notably brutal in his treatment of the locals. The rule of Rutger von Ascheberg (governor-general 1680–1693), proved more lenient.[34][35]
The assimilation was not as strongly implemented on the German dominions of Swedish Pomerania, Bremen-Verden, and the Baltic dominions (Estonia and Livonia). In Germany, Charles found himself being opposed by the estates there, and he was also bound by the law of the German emperor and the peace treaty. In the Baltic, the power structure was completely different, with a German-descended nobility that used serfs, something that Charles abhorred and wanted to abolish but was unable to. Finally, Kexholm and Ingria were sparsely populated and not of great interest.[34][35]
Charles was a devoted Lutheran Christian. In February 1686, a church law was put forth on his initiative. The church order declared that the king was ruler of the Church in the same way that he ruled the country and God ruled the world. Attending sermons on Sunday was made obligatory and ordinary people found walking around on the streets, during that time, risked being arrested. Three years later, he declared it obligatory for all commoners to learn to read a catechism—written by archbishop Olov Svebilius and then-bishop Haqvin Spegel—so that they would understand the "magnificence of God".[36][37]
Charles then encouraged the production of a hymnal (Psalmbok) to be printed and distributed to the churches (completed 1693), and a new print of the Bible that was completed in 1703 and named after his successor: Charles XII Bible.[36][37]
Family matters[edit]
On 6 May 1680, Charles married Ulrike Eleonora (1656–1693), daughter of King Frederick III of Denmark (1609–1670). He had previously been engaged to his cousin, Juliana of Hesse-Eschwege, but the engagement was broken and he married Ulrike after the war, as a part of the peace treaty.
Ulrike Eleonora was beautiful and kind, but she always had to stand back to Charles' mother. The Queen Dowager was always mentioned before her in audiences and church blessings, but Ulrika was soft and did not take up the fight.[2][38] She was completely different from the king: he enjoyed hunting and riding, while she enjoyed reading and art. Her softness was a stark contrast to her husband's roughness. Her Danish background made her situation more difficult; while Charles was away to inspect his troops or pursuing his pastimes, she was often lonely and sad. The marriage itself, however, is considered a success, with the King and Queen being very fond of each other. It is said that on his death bed, Charles XI admitted to his mother that he hadn't been happy since Ulrike Eleonora's death.[39]
She gave birth to seven children, of which only three outlived Charles:
- Hedwig Sophia (1681–1708), duchess of Holstein-Gottorp and grandmother of Tsar Peter III;
- Charles XII (1682–1718), his only surviving son and the future king;
- Ulrika Eleonora ("the younger", 1688–1741), who ultimately succeeded her brother on the Swedish throne.
Ulrika (the older) was sickly, and the many child births eventually broke her. When she became seriously ill, in 1693, Charles finally dedicated his time and care to her. Her death in July that year shook him deeply and he never fully recovered.[2][39] Her infant son Ulric (1684–1685) was given Ulriksdal Palace, which was renamed for him (Ulric's Dale).
Charles XI had complained about stomach pains since 1694. In the summer of 1696, he asked his doctors for an opinion on the pain that had gotten continuously worse, but they had no viable cure or treatment for it. He continued to perform his duties as usual, but, in February 1697, the pains became too severe for him to cope and he had to return to Stockholm where the doctors discovered he had a big hard lump in his stomach. At this point there was little the doctors could do except to alleviate the King's pain as best they could. Charles XI died on 5 April 1697, in his forty-first year. An autopsy showed that the King had developed cancer, and that it had spread through his entire abdominal cavity.[40]
Charles XI has sometimes been described in Sweden as the greatest of all the Swedish kings, unduly eclipsed by his father and his son.[2] In the first half of the 20th century, the view of him had changed, and he was regarded as dependent, uncertain, and easily influenced by others.[41] In the most recent book, Rystads biography from 2003, the king is again mainly characterized as a strong-willed shaper of Sweden through economical reforms and an achievement of financial and military stability and strength.[42]
Charles XI is commemorated on the 500-kronor bill. His portrait is taken from one of Ehrenstrahl's paintings, possibly the one displayed on this page. The reason why the king is on the bill is because the Bank of Sweden was founded in 1668, during Charles' reign.[43]
The fortified town of Carlsburg near Bremen, at the site of modern Bremerhaven, was named after Charles XI.

Google does not care about minority such as people on this board. For every one here who is careful not to be logged on when searching - there are 10,000 who are completely unaware, and a good percentage of them do not make distinction between sponsored links and organic search results. Every now and then you can see something being written about concerns of Google and privacy in mainstream newspapers, but it is not enough so most people are too ignorant to understand the consequences.
Most of the projects Google did (gmail, maps, google checkout, etc) is to gather the data, to draw people in. They do not care about users to "serve them best results", they care to learn about users so that they can manipulate a user to results they want to serve.
If one would be using all their services (from mobile to google checkout, email, etc) then they would probably be not far off knowing of how much disposable income person has, let alone shopping habits. They are turning into some futuristic AI machine - and they are doing it cleverly little by little - because if they did some of these things they are doing now 6-7 years ago, people would freak out and nobody would use Google. But doing it little by little - they get people to adjust, then they go for more.

I am updating a system which lists the sizes available for a specific part. What the client is looking for is to only show the sizes that have been defined in the parts list for the family that the part currently is associated with. This is where I am having difficulty. I cannot seem to locate what family the pipe is from.
Does anyone know of a .Net (I really would like to avoid COM if at all possible) to know which family the pipe belongs to?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The PartFamily property is not exposed in .NET, as I'm sure you've found. But, you can get the PartFamily via late-binding so no COM references are needed.

Paris airports log record 88.8 million passengers in 2012
Agence France-Presse
PARIS—The two Paris airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, registered a record 88.8 million passengers last year, but growth of the number nonetheless slowed to 0.8 percent, airport operator Aeroports de Paris (ADP) said on Tuesday.
That contrasted with much stronger growth at smaller regional French hubs like Marseille, where traffic jumped by 12.7 percent to 8.3 million and Toulouse, which posted an increase of 8.2 percent to 7.5 million passengers.
A breakdown of the headline number showed that Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, also known as Roissy and the second busiest European airport after London's Heathrow, handled 61.6 million passengers in 2012, an increase of 1.1 percent.
Paris-Orly recorded a slight gain of 0.3 percent to 27.2 million passengers.
In terms of destinations, flights to the Asia-Pacific region increased by 5.1 percent, to the Middle East by 2.7 percent and to Africa by 2.1 percent.
Service to and from North America was down by 1.2 percent.

LINCOLN — Complaints about high property taxes in Nebraska appear to be sinking in at the State Capitol.
Gov. Dave Heineman on Wednesday signaled that any tax-relief push needs to include reducing local property taxes, and not just cuts in state income tax rates.
It was a shift in focus welcomed by some state senators, who have long said that the biggest tax problem in the state is ever-rising property taxes. Such gripes dominated last week's public hearings by a legislative panel studying state tax changes.
"This is a change," said State Sen. Galen Hadley of Kearney, who is leading the Legislature's Tax Modernization Committee. "Maybe our hearings have given some other information for the executive branch to look at."
Heineman had been aiming darts at Nebraska's state income tax rates, which he says scare away good-paying jobs because they are higher than all but one neighboring state, Iowa.
High property taxes, the conservative Republican has said in the past, were an issue for someone else: local school boards, county boards and city councils that levy property taxes.
Not now.
At a press conference Wednesday, the governor called on the Nebraska Legislature to work with him to pass a "balanced" plan of income tax cuts and property tax relief during the 2014 session — the last session for Heineman before he leaves office because of term limits.
"Rural Nebraska wants property tax relief and urban Nebraska wage earners need income tax relief," he said. "This is going to be priority No. 1."
State Sen. Tom Hansen of North Platte, a member of the tax modernization group, applauded the governor's new, dual focus.
"We found out that (high) property taxes are a pretty big item out here," Hansen said, of public hearings held in Scottsbluff, North Platte and Norfolk.
Other reaction was more cautious.
Omaha Sen. Heath Mello, who is chairman of the state budget-writing Appropriations Committee, said he's glad that the conversation now includes property tax relief. However, Mello said he also wants to make sure that any tax proposals are "fiscally responsible."
Earlier this year, Heineman pitched a plan to eliminate state income taxes and to pay for it by rescinding several sales tax exemptions.
A stampede of business, agriculture and nonprofit groups descended on the State Capitol to oppose Heineman's plan. The groups said that losing their tax exemptions would make products made or grown in Nebraska uncompetitive and would force jobs out of the state.
The governor said Wednesday that he has backed off that plan but remains convinced that the state offers too many sales tax exemptions.
He said the state should dip into its cash reserves to finance tax relief. That rainy day fund now stands at $679 million, or about 17 percent of annual state spending.
Mello said he anticipates that the Legislature will be cautious about using the reserve funds because there's still uncertainty about the economic future of the state and because such cash reserves are more wisely used for one-time expenses, not the ongoing costs of a tax cut.
The state's cash reserves helped sustain state services during the recent recession. Nebraska, unlike some states, didn't have to raise taxes.
"My taxes are high, just like everyone's taxes are too high," the senator said. "However, the challenge we have is reforming a tax code to ensure fairness and stability, while generating enough tax revenue to fund state priorities into the future."
The governor's comments come as the tax committee is midway through a series of public hearings across the state on how to modernize the state's tax system to better reflect today's economy.
The group's final hearings will be held Oct. 17 in Omaha and Oct. 18 in Lincoln. But those testifying at the initial hearings, including several farmers and ranchers, complained mainly about high property taxes. Few griped about high income taxes. Several said that sales taxes should be raised to offset reductions in property taxes.
Heineman, in comments this week, said he would support increasing the state property tax rebates now offered to land- and homeowners through a program launched in 2007.
This year, that credit returned $115 million to taxpayers, the same amount since the program began. The tax break amounted to about $107 for the owner of a $150,000 home. If that home was in the Omaha school district, the credit reduced the homeowner's total property tax bill by 3.3 percent.
At his press conference Wednesday, Heineman displayed a handful of posters indicating that Nebraska's property taxes are 13th-highest in the nation and that state income taxes rank in the top 16. Other charts showed that Nebraska, unlike most other states, still levies a county tax on inheritances and doesn't offer extra tax breaks for retirees. Another showed that the state was among the 10 "least friendly" states for retirees.
"Our citizens don't even need these charts," the governor said. "They know our taxes are too high."
Other recent rankings have placed Nebraska among the top five best places to start a new business. But Heineman said those were about business climate, not taxes.
The governor, when pressed, said it was too early to provide details on whether tax cuts would require cuts in state spending. The tax committee is scheduled to issue its recommendations by Dec. 15, and the 2014 legislative session doesn't begin until Jan. 8.
"It's only October," the governor said. "I want to work together with (the Legislature). I don't care who gets the credit."
