Great documentary, long life to the Amiga
I owned an A500 back in Spain. In its heyday, the Amiga commanded a type of "cult following" that makes the Apple/Mac following insignificant. My A500 was so ahead of every other computer owned by my friends, specially in the sound and graphics department, that I had a sense of "being chosen by God" to own the Amiga. I think it's fair to say that during the late 80's, early 90's the Amiga was treated in several European as the "cool" alternative to the IBM PC. Pretty much as the Mac is treated today in the US but with the caveat that the Amiga was during that time so ahead of both the PC and the Mac that it made us, the Amiga owners, look down at ever other personal computer owner which didn't own an Amiga. The thinking was, how is that these guys are not as amazed as I am with the technical superiority of this machine?
I moved to the US 7 years ago and I discovered these archives of the Computer Chronicles just this weekend. It has been a great experience to watch all 5 programs that cover the Amiga in detail. I moved to the Wintel PC forced by the market in the mid nineties, but no matter how technologically advanced the PC and the Mac become, the Amiga has a place in my heart that will never be replaced by any other computer.

I remember watching this when it originally aired...
At this time I was envious of anyone who owned an Amiga. It'd be years before the Amiga 500 would be released and allow us with limited funds to experience it's joys. Shame they killed such a great computer line. I'd advice anyone interested to seek out one of the several emulators available for both of these systems and try out of programs. The Amiga, especially, was way ahead of its time.
I have an old Amiga computer recorded somewhere. As soon as I can find it I'll upload it.

I'm quite tearful!
I'm not ashamed to admit that finding this web site has made me quite tearful. Firstly through a strange nostalgia for the days when getting a computer to do something as simple as load a picture in under an hour was actually astounding - something you'd tell people about for days, "You should have seen it do this!!".
Mostly though, I'm nostalgic for a life I didn't actually lead, one I was almost jealous of other people who were living it for me.
I grew up in the north east of England in the 1980's, a time when it wasn't good to be from a working class background in an old industrial town.
The new economy of computers and information technology was something that was happening in another world, right on the other side of America in a place called silicone valley.
As a boy I'd dream of a day when programs like Computer Chronicles were common place on British television so I could indulge in my love of computers, which in those days, particularly in my part of the world, were machines only huge companies could afford.
So, the next time I find myself writing a "moan-about-xxx" e-mail to this support department, or a "it's happened AGAIN!" thread to that help forum, I'll be sure to remind myself to watch the demonstration of Windows 3.0 on CC. If not simply to remind myself of how it used to be, but to reinforce a belief I've held since before I'd ever even seen a computer, never mind actually own one permanently connected to a world wide high speed computer network, that should I have been fortunate to live another life, I would most certainly have been an Apple child.
Amazing site!!

tramiel vs. tramiel
the Amiga and the Atari both introduced a GUI and system architecture that allowed the system to move data faster without overloading their limited CPUs. Atari had the lower starting price, and ended up more popular in Europe.
The commentator felt it unlikely these systems would be able to compete for programmer support against the PC, Mac and Apple II.
This show is probably better if you had one of the two systems; I didn't, but wish I had.

Mrs. Meriweather was born on March 17, 1924, in Greenwood. The second of two children born to Banks Banor and Virgie Crawford Pennington, Maxine lived most of her life in the Mississippi Delta. She married Ben Kittrell Meriweather Jr., also from Greenwood, in 1947. Ben and Maxine were the proud and loving parents of four children, Ann M. Egger (Ed) of Greenville, Beverly M. Alexander of Mobile, Ala., Ben K. Meriweather III (Brenda) of Tupelo and Suzanne M. Bean (Mark) of Columbus; grandchildren, Ed G. Egger Jr., Laura E. Buchberger, Ben K. Meriweather IV and Clayton R. Meriweather and C. Meriweather Bean and M. Hudson Bean; and great-grandchildren, J. Banks Egger, Ben. K. Meriweather V and Ben C. Buchberger.
In 1962, Ben and Maxine moved their family from Greenwood to Cleveland, where Ben served as manager of Delta Electric Power Association. Maxine remained a full time mother, until 1971, when she became the secretary for the Department of Art at Delta State University (DSU) in Cleveland. Though her role as a secretary was highly valued, members of the DSU community knew her best as one who supported faculty and helped students adjust to life away from home. Art students and faculty initiated "Maxine Meriweather Day" in 1974 to honor her. She remained connected to many DSU professors and students until her death.
Maxine and Ben were active members of the First Baptist Church of Cleveland, where she taught Sunday school, Vacation Bible School and Girls Auxiliary for many years. Leading her family through her strength and faith in God, one of Maxine's favorite Bible verses was Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not toward your own understanding; acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path.
In the community Maxine was a Girl Scout Leader, a member of the Junior Auxiliary of Greenwood, an officer in the Woman's Club of Cleveland and a volunteer worker at the Bolivar County Hospital.
Gentle in spirit, Maxine put others before herself and saw the good in everyone she knew. She leaves a legacy of faith, optimism, and love to her family and all those who knew her.
A graveside memorial service for Maxine's family was held in Cleveland on Thursday, December 27, 2012.
Memorials to honor Maxine P. Meriweather may be made to the Mississippi chapter of the Alzheimer's Association at 196 Charmant Drive, Suite 4, Ridgeland, MS 39157 or (www.alz.org/ms/ or 1-800-272-3900).

Aldgate abounds with good eateries, but more than that, it offers the visitor an array of crafts and fine arts that is hard to beat. Aldgate has much to offer the tourist or day-tripper looking for something different in a day out in the Adelaide Hills. The main attraction in Aldgate is the Aldgate Pump Hotel which is known for its character, warmth and its pleasant restaurant with a fashionably wide range of beverages. It has been modernised and enhanced many times over the years but still has its 'old-day' charm. Over the road from the Aldgate Pump Hotel is the 'Pump', plus the delightful 'General Store' - now a crafts shop - which dates from the early 1880's. It has changed hands and functions many times. At various points it has been a general store, a butcher's shop and, in the 1890's, the Hills Cash Store. The Stangate House, bequeathed to the National Trust of South Australia, is an attractive house dating to 1940 but the attraction is the garden with its huge oak tree (some suggest it dates from 1864 and was originally planted by Richard Hawkins) plus its displays of beautiful camellias, hydrangeas and rhododendrons. You will find there is something for everyone at the Aldgate Village - come for a visit - you may be surprised!
Many of Australia's best-known winemakers learned their art at Roseworthy Agricultural College. The college is a 1600ha working farm and university north of Gawler. Established in 1883, the college was the first of its kind in Australia, teaching oenology (winemaking), viticulture (grape growing) and agricultural studies. Wine industry education has now moved to the Waite Campus of the University of Adelaide and Roseworthy Campus has become internationally renowned as a centre for excellence in dryland farming and animal production.
A spectacular and peaceful part of the South Australian coastline, Baird Bay is teeming with marine life and offers you the opportunity to swim with sea-lions and dolphins on organised tours. It's an unforgettable experience. This protected bay is fast becoming a 'must do' holiday experience for travellers. There are safe swimming beaches, boating and fishing - and anglers are rarely disappointed, with handy launching facilities guaranteed to lead to a good day's fishing. Baird Bay, sitting on the Eyre Peninsula, offers accommodation ranging from upmarket resort style eco villas, holiday shacks and a budget camping ground. While you're visiting the Eyre Peninsula, why not follow Australia's first Seafood and Aquaculture Trail. The trail brings together seafood, dining and aquaculture experiences to help you chart the journey of our delicious seafood from the sea to restaurant plates.
There's a real buzz in the Angaston main street - cafés, cheese makers, wine bars, cellar doors, smart little antique and retail shops and traditional shops. Blond Coffee is a Mecca for the locals that visitors should not miss: a modern coffee shop that offers fresh light lunches, great coffee, and a selection of local and imported produce. Similarly, just a minute from the main street The South Australian Company Store offers visitors a truly regional experience, stocking a large range of Food Barossa products as well as a sensational dining experience, compliments of renowned local chef Chris Wilksch. Both businesses typify the way the Barossa constantly reinvents itself to reflect the best contemporary culture while keeping its feet still firmly rooted in tradition. The Barossa Farmers Market on the edge of town is another example. Held each Saturday morning, it showcases real food produced in the homes and farms of the Barossa. Local food producers offer the freshest of home grown produce, from fruit and vegetables to meat, poultry and free-range eggs, along with a huge variety of locally manufactured food products. But history is never far away. With a population of around 2000, Angaston is at the "English" or eastern end of the Barossa and was named after one of South Australia's founders, George Fife Angas, who sponsored many of the region's early German settlers. The Angas family was a major influence here for many generations, with one of their homes, Collingrove, now providing accommodation and a popular tourism attraction. There is a terrific selection of bed and breakfasts, both hosted and self-contained, as you'll need a rest after all of the activity Angaston has to offer.
Only an hour north of Adelaide and 25 kilometres west of Port Wakefield, Balaklava is famous for its race course and is home to the over 100 year old Balaklava Cup held every August or September which is the largest country race in South Australia. Balaklava is one of the main agricultural townships in this area, with the state rail network connecting grain silos from Balaklava, Owen, Nantawarra, and Long Plains to Adelaide. Balaklava is based around the beautiful River Wakefield and offers many lovely old buildings. A little south east of town is The Rocks Reserve, a unique formation of rock carved naturally by the River Wakefield. Enjoy the flora and fauna throughout the reserve and its walking trails. The town is well equipped and a great place to stock up on supplies. Accommodation options include a caravan park, hotels and several bed and breakfast properties. Attractions: Balaklava 18-hole championship golf course, offering six kilometres of manicured fairways. Balaklava Courthouse Gallery hosts work and exhibitions by local painters and potters. Balaklava Museum. The Rocks Reserve. Balaklava Gliding Club. Balaklava Race Club. In 1849, Balaklava began as a stopping point for Bullock Trains, which traversed the Gulf Road from the Burra Burra copper mines to Port Wakefield. In 1870 the first large grain stores were built by an Adelaide Grain Merchant, Charles Fisher, opening up the area to farmers. The town was surveyed in 1877 and named after the Battle of Balaklava in the Crimean War.
Beachport is an isthmus with the sea on two sides and Lake George beside it. Sandy beaches stretch around Rivoli Bay offering great surf and safe swimming, while Bowman Scenic Drive allows visitors to explore the coastal dunes offering spectacular views of the rugged coast of the Southern Ocean. The Beachport jetty is the second longest in South Australia. The jetty reaches out into the bay and is a popular spot for local and visiting anglers of all ages. For the more adventurous explore Beachport Conservation Park by four wheel drive. Take in the coastal scenery, escape to secluded beaches and see intriguing shell middens. Take some time to explore Lake George and the magnificent bird life.

'The Old Wool and Grain Store' National Trust museum tells the story of the district's past and provides an insight into the whaling history. Woakwine Cutting 10 kilometres north of Beachport is where you will find Australia's biggest one-man engineering feat. The Cutting was created to drain swampland for pastoral use. A viewing platform has been erected and the accomplishment documented for all visitors to read. Beachport also boasts a number of walking trails offering uninterrupted views of the picturesque bay and rugged coastline. The walks around town including the popular Lighthouse walk and lookout, or the Lagoon walk, Lanky's Walk, Wendy's Walk and the Jack and Hilda McArthur Walk. Play the excellent golf course, sample some fine fare at local eateries or simply float your cares away at the Pool of Siloam. The Pool of Siloam is fed by underground springs with the water seven times saltier than seawater which provides fantastic buoyancy. Swim pontoons are provided at the pool. Beachport has a variety of excellent accommodation ranging from classic beach holiday houses to four-star bed and breakfasts and provides the perfect stopover
Pretty Stirling, in the Adelaide Hills, is home to some of South Australia's most beautiful homes. Stirling became popular with Adelaide's wealthy residents in the 1800s, who built summer houses to escape the heat of the plains in the late nineteenth century. A walk through Stirling will reveal many of these homes, including some that have been converted to bed and breakfast accommodation. The tree-lined main street, a riot of colour in both spring and autumn, has a good collection of cafes, restaurants and shops. Many of Stirling's magnificent 'English' gardens are accessible to visitors via the Open Garden Scheme. On the fourth Sunday of each month Druids Avenue is closed off for the Stirling Market, with local produce, plants and homemade wares, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. There is more to discover in the Adelaide Hills. It's the home of boutique wineries, country markets, art galleries and charming villages. It's also the place for romantic weekends away, cosy pub meals, scenic drives and nature walks. Children love the Adelaide Hills's giant rocking horse, National Motor Museum and wildlife parks. Located only 20 minutes from Adelaide's central business district, the Adelaide Hills provide a wonderfully refreshing change from the pace of the city.
Recharge on Australia's mighty Murray River during your next holiday.

Lose yourself and find rare birds, flora and fauna on a bushwalking journey through the Ngarkat Group of Conservation Parks. These four adjoining parks, deep in South Australia's Mallee area, cover a combined area of 270,000 hectares. They are home to a spectacular array of animals including echidnas, pygmy-possums and the endangered Mallee fowl. Walking trails will lead you to ruins and ancient Aboriginal sites. Watch the sun slip away over the Murray River, as you enjoy a three-course alfresco meal on a Big Bend by Night Eco Tour.

Head to historic Terowie to explore its five museums and many historical buildings in its fascinating Main Street. Founded in 1877 and a railway town until 1989, Terowie was founded as a farming and grazing community. Today, much of the Main Street remains as in the old days. Terowie's heritage-listed buildings including the Post Office, the Pioneer Gallery with local family photographs and histories, a small museum down Main Street with photographs and display of woman's work, the Blacksmith Museum in the original Blacksmith Shop, and Simpson Museum. Take a self guided walking tour or self drive tour. The Terowie Citizens Association have been working hard for many years to restore Terowie to give people a look at how it was back in the good old days. There are now 31 places of interest for people to look at. Terowie was a thriving stop in the late 1800s for people heading north and later became the change of gauge for the railways. The railways have since left and the town now stands as a well preserved display of early settlement with many of its historic buildings refurbished to their original state. Terowie became a large military camp in 1941 -1946. In March 1942 General Douglas MacArthur gave his first Australian press interview in Terowie after leaving the Philippines. His most famous statement was "I came out of Bataan and I shall return".
Penong is the first town you reach as you travel west from Ceduna, on the Eyre Peninsula. It's a good 'watering hole' before the long journey across the Nullarbor Plain - one of Australia's great road trips. Penong offers a pub with beer garden, a couple of stores and a caravan park. Just south of Penong, you'll find the highly acclaimed Cactus Beach, where surfers from all over Australia and overseas can be found year-round. Cactus has three perfect surfing breaks - Castles and Cactus both left handers and Caves, a powerful right-hand break.

What if DirecTV only charged those that used DECA for MRV but not those that used their own setup? There would be a hue and cry, just as there is now.
Then a rush for the DIY networking, cancellation of the paid MRV, and then what? Disconnecting and sending the DirecTV supplied SWM,DECA and all related geegaws back to DirecTV. The issues are endless.
How will Dtv control who pays and who doesn't? So they charge everyone, or just those that have the DirecTV networking supplied units will be able to get MRV, and those that have DIY networks won't.
Just because one's system is networked now doesn't mean entitlement to MRV.
Why are there so many posters making this harder than it is?
You charge a monthly Fee that allows you to OPT-IN so you can enjoy the MRV Service and help defray the costs of the MRV Software. If you decide you don't think it is for you, then you just never OPT-IN and you will not be charged for it.
If you can't set up a Wired/Wireless Network, then you call Directv and they will install a Deca System and you pay for the equipment/installation.
Why should I help pay for someone's system who can't install a Network similar to mine when they didn't help me pay for my Network Environment?
How do you control it? By only allowing those who OPT-IN to be able to have access to the MRV Service. Very Simple.

This just in: Doug Melvin of the Brewers will never enjoy a drink in the aforementioned Exclusive GM Club again. Why? Because he just broke one of the most long enduring, sacred GM rules, of course. He was clear. He was not vague, he did not hint, he did not bluff. He did not say "no comment", he did not laugh and quip, "of course we're not making any moves!" before ending the interview, making a huge move and leaving the media outlet seething that they did not get to break the story.
He came right out and said, today, that Zack Greinke will definitely be traded before the Trade Deadline, which is coming up on the 31st. He came out and said it, guys. In a world of Oblique Brian Sabeans and Plain-Lying-Through-Their-Teeth Jon Daniels, this just does not happen.
I am floored. What's going to come next, Theo Epstein leaving the stadium not dressed as a gorilla? What is the world coming to?
So that's what Theo Epstein actually looks like? I was beginning to believe they actually had a gorilla for a GM.

Does it even matter?
May 8th, 2009The Cubs enter Miller Park this weekend for a three game series. The two teams sit one game apart the Cubs are 16-12 and the Brewers are 16-13. Based on play thus far this season the Brewers have a 27% chance of making the playoffs while the Cubs have a 24% chance according to BP Playoff Odds. Now, if you get down into the numbers if the Brewers were to sweep the Cubs this weekend they'd be at 19-13 and probably above 30% to make the playoffs while the Cubs would see a serious dropoff. The reverse would also be true. So, the question becomes: does this series matter?
No. It doesn't.
If we have a repeat of last season where the Cubs sweep the Brewers in Miller Park it means absolutely nothing in the long run of the season. They'll be a .500 team with a higher amount of runs scored than runs allowed. The future will still be bright, we'll still have to wear shades.
Do I want the Brewers to win? Of course. That's a stupid question, damn you for asking it... myself. The point is the sky doesn't fall if they don't. They are still talented and on a good pace this season. That beind said, I really hope they win this series. I don't expect this weekend to be like April, I fully expect more Cubs fans than Brewers fans. And that's fine. Just remember what I said about booing and giving back the douche. Now's your time to shine Milwaukee.
I'm off for the weekend, not catching any games til Tuesday as I want to spend some time with my son. He's getting to the age where I can fully explain to him why he shouldn't wear Affliction shirts, call women whores, live in Illinois or boo. That's about 1 and a half right? Have fun out there.

"I cannot recommend Keith and KSC Crystals highly enough! He goes to great lengths to source the very best quality crystals which he sells at the very best prices. He is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and he has an obvious love of the mineral kingdom - this is seen in every aspect of the service which he provides. Even though I live on the East Coast of the UK and work in Nottingham (which means lots of travel), I still order from Keith in Manchester because of his passion, the quality of his crystals and the level of service that he provides. You can rely on him to choose crystals for you, so there is no need to visit him if travel is a problem. (even though there is a crystal shop in my town, I still choose to shop at KSC Crystals) Also, not everything that he has in stock is on the website yet, so you can always call him if you are looking for something in particular. What more can I say? If you love crystals, you will love KSC Crystals.

MARK BROWN: First Lady, other dignitaries pack Hadiya's funeral, but teen's "inner light" shone brightest
BY MARK BROWN February 9, 2013 7:14PM
Gov. Pat Quinn departs after the wake and funeral service for slain 15-year-old King College Prep student Hadiya Pendleton at Greater Harvest Baptist Church in Chicago, Ill., on Saturday, February 9, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 11, 2013 7:03AM
The concern going into Saturday's funeral of 15-year-old murder victim Hadiya Pendleton was that it would be hijacked by the politicians for their own purposes.
Thankfully, nothing of the sort happened, proving the wisdom of Hadiya's parents, Cleopatra and Anthony, extends beyond child-rearing.
Politicians at funerals are like the old saw about children: better that they be seen than heard.
But as the funeral service stretched well into its fourth hour with all those dignitaries still in their seats and kept far from the microphones, it occurred to me as I looked down on them from the balcony at Greater Harvest Baptist Church that I had it backwards all along.
It wasn't the politicians or even the media steering this ship that has transformed an unknown teenage girl into a national symbol of the senseless violence gripping this city and so many others.
It's the spirit of Hadiya Pendleton herself — the way she lived her life — that is holding all of us captive, politicians included.
It's Hadiya — from her smile to her achievements to her dreams and ambitions — who is forcing everyone to consider their responsibility to the victims of violence, even the ones who aren't as attractive or sympathetic as her.
"Because of this day, there will be many others saved," the host pastor, Rev. Eric Thomas, said in his greeting.
Let's hope that he's right, although hoping won't be nearly enough.
The idea that Hadiya had not died in vain, that it was no mistake, that it was part of "God's plan" to serve a higher purpose, was naturally a theme of what her own pastor, Rev. Courtney Maxwell, called her "homegoing celebration."
Your reaction to that probably depends a lot on your own faith.
But it really hit home to me in a talk delivered by Hadiya's aunt, Linda Wilks, who spoke of her niece's "inner light radiating outward," her "inner light of spirit," which is what she believes is causing people around the world to react to Hadiya's death to when they see her photos and read about her. I think she's on to something.
Before the service started, a video montage of family photos of Hadiya was shown against a back wall of the sanctuary, interspersed with clips of a butterfly. Each of those photos showed that same smile as she developed butterfly-like from a gap-tooth little girl to the beautiful young woman she was becoming.
I came away from the marathon service more convinced than ever that Hadiya was truly someone special.
Yes, she was the product of an educated, churchgoing family. She was a high-achieving honor student, a volleyball player, a marching band majorette, just back from President Obama's inauguration — all the stuff that you've read.
But what really convinced me was seeing and hearing from her friends, so many of whom described her as their "best friend." Most important, those friends struck me as exactly the kind of kids with whom you'd want your children to surround themselves, and they all spoke so highly of Hadiya as a leader and a positive influence on them.
Even as I write this, I don't want to be part of making Hadiya a martyr. I've seen too many other young innocents become the symbol that was going to make us change our ways: from Dantrell Davis to Ben Wilson to Eric Morse to Starkeshia Reed to Blair Holt to Derrion Albert.
But there was no room in that church Saturday for cynicism and therefore no room for it in this column.
Arguably, all the political figures who attended Hadiya's service had to be there, from first lady Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Arne Duncan representing the White House to Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, Gov. Pat Quinn, Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Cong. Danny Davis — seated exactly in that order in the front row.
That's not to suggest their hearts aren't in the right place. I'm sure they are.
But whether they're from City Hall or Springfield or Washington, politicians prefer to pick their own spots, choose their own time and place for tackling an issue.
This one has tackled them.
Chicago's slow-motion massacre, as some have taken to calling our nonstop death toll, now has a face. It's a face that will not allow us to look away.
The face of Hadiya Pendleton challenges us to find a place in our hearts for all the young lives claimed by violence and to work together for solutions.

Albany (August 23, 2012) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) today said that Governor Cuomo should set the record straight on whether he favors repealing a law that lets public unions keep their current contracts long after they expire.
"There's a rumor swirling around Albany this morning that Governor Cuomo has assured labor leaders that he won't push to repeal the Triborough Amendment, which gives unions a massive advantage over taxpayers," said NFIB State Director Mike Durant. "That would be very disappointing and we certainly hope that it isn't true."
Crain's Business reported this morning, based on an anonymous source, that Governor Cuomo told labor bosses at a recent meeting that he won't ask the Legislature to repeal a section of the Taylor Law, known as the Triborough Amendment, which allows unions to keep their contracts indefinitely even though they've expired. Many municipal and county officials, including New York City Mike Bloomberg, have urged lawmakers to repeal the provision because it removes any incentive for labor groups to bargain in good faith.
"State and local governments all over the country are buckling under the weight of these overly generous labor contracts and New York is no exception," said Durant. "The Triborough Amendment tips the scale in favor of government unions at the expense of taxpayers and we'll never get control of local spending as long as it remains in place."
He noted that the local property tax is the biggest tax burden for most small businesses in New York.
"Giving local officials more flexibility to negotiate a better deal for taxpayers is the key to making New York more affordable for businesses and families," said Durant. "I'm sure that the Governor understands that and I would doubt very highly that he has closed the door on repealing the Triborough Amendment."
Durant urged Cuomo to clarify his position so that small businesses and property owners know exactly where he stands on the issue.
"He shouldn't let this rumor persist because the issue is too important," said Durant. "The Governor should make it clear that the law has to change with the times. Small businesses are struggling. Middle class families are struggling. And local governments are struggling to provide basic services.
"Mandate relief is the key to long-term tax relief," he continued. "The Governor is very popular and he has the power to press this debate. He's hasn't been afraid to take on the tough issues and we expect him to lead on this issue as well."

Julia Hall called The Bolivar Commercial Friday to say how much she appreciated the Cleveland Police Department and its officers.
Her uncle Roosevelt Russell, a formerly of the St. Louis area, is a current resident of Cleveland.
"He has Alzheimer's," said Hall, who does not live in Mississippi. "My uncle ran away Monday at about 11 a.m. He took the car."
She said after her relatives searched for him they called the police department and they were asked to wait 24 hours, which is standard law enforcement policy.
"They were very nice about it and at 11 a.m. the next morning we called and they were quick to action," she said.
Hall said to her it seemed almost immediately everyone had been notified and was on the look for her uncle.
"They Highway Patrol all the way to St. Louis was notified and police even went to my uncle's old house and notified the new owner's in case he showed up there," she said.
"He ran out of gas about a mile from St. Louis and he was found still sitting in the car," said Hall, adding her uncle is diabetic and had been without his medication for two days.
"They took him to the hospital, treated him and he is now safely at home in Cleveland," she said.
Hall said she is appreciative of how the Cleveland Police Department handled the situation.
"Police always get so much negative publicity and this is a good story. I wanted everyone to know. I think the Cleveland Police Department, and the Highway Patrol, are wonderful."
Cleveland Police Chief Buster Bingham, who had a humble tone in voice Friday afternoon, said his officers did what they would normally do to get the word out.
"We're glad he was found safe and sound," said Cleveland Police Chief Buster Bingham. "We feel like giants when a situation can end on a good note."

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

An internship is a supervised work experience at a pre-approved agency that relates to your specific field of study. Internships take place on location and are available locally (in the Plattsburgh/Burlington area), regionally (in the Albany, NYC area), or nationally (come in, we'll talk). In addition to the academic credit you earn, by taking an internship you gain experience, establish networking opportunities, and may even land yourself a job!
"...we worked side-by-side with camera crews and producers."
Internships give you a chance to work with industry professionals who serve as your mentor and monitor your progress. You get to actually practice what you've learned by completing tasks assigned to you. And, you get a chance to expose your new knowledge through written reflections.
Internship opportunities are offered in two different forms: Entry-Level and Exit-Level
"It led to me getting my first job."
You can choose either a full-time internship (12 credits) or a part-time internship (3 or 6 credits). Here are the qualifications for full- or part-time internship opportunities.
*Internship credits are general education elective credits and do not count towards your major. Not all agencies offer full or part time options every semester.
Professional internship opportunities** are available in all of the major study areas in the communication program. For a full listing, see our Agency Information Listing.
Students have interned at these internship agencies in Broadcast Journalism: WCAX-TV, WNCE-TV, WNYT-TV, WPTZ-TV, WRGB-TV, and WRNN-TV.
Students have interned at these internship agencies in TV-Video Production include: Cablevision, CBS News, HBO, KIEM, Lake Champlain Productions, Montel Williams Show, MTV News, New York Network, WABC-TV, Mountain Lake PBS, WNET PBS, WNYT-TV, WPTZ-TV, WRNN-TV, WTVH-TV, and WXXA-TV.

Some of the internship agencies in radio broadcasting and Production include: WBAB Radio, WAMC/Northeast Public Radio, WEQX Radio, WFAN sports radio, WNEW, WRCN, WXXX, and Sirius/XM Satellite radio.
**Additional internship opportunities are available in other areas.
Applying for an internship involves the following:
Communication Alum, Becky Rock, shares her experiences in the communication department's internship program.
"My internship at MTV2 was one of the most important decisions I made in my college career, and one of the smartest. I interned under Kelly Faber, who was herself an intern at one time, which made my experience even more enlightening. I think that because she had once interned, she knew what activities would be more beneficial.
"Kelly made sure we all had a variety of experience in each area. We were sent on field shoots, to the edit (room), and sometimes on shoots at concerts. We were able to meet and deal with talent (i.e. bands, actors, and VJ's). Also, we worked side-by-side with camera crews and producers."
Interns Get Hands-On Experience
"I was lucky enough to have an internship where there was a lot of hands on work, where I could learn what everyone's jobs were and how the different departments ran together. I also impressed them with my knowledge and skills from college. A lot of people were surprised to know that I've used equipment before and that I actually knew what they were doing. Because of that, they let me have more hands on and I was able to show them what I could do. Basically, the more you helped them out, the more they would give you the opportunity to be a part of.
"This internship was a huge step for me in my life and career. It got me into New York City. It led to me getting my first job. [Through it] I've made great friendships and great connections, as well as having many great experiences in the work field."

Last night, during the debate, same dripping sound on NBC. I noticed my wife had turned on the ceiling fan. Ahhh, that's it!!! The ceiling fan is causing interference. Turned it off. Still get the dripping sound. I run my HR21 sound thru a Yamaha AVR using optical. So, now I'm figuring something must be going on with interference with the AVR. Oh well, I'll figure it out later.
So, I went upstairs to my bedroom where I have an HR20 connected to a Kenwood AVR via composite connectors. It's on a separate dish (don't ask) with no MS. I select a recording of Heroes to play back and - guess what? - dripping sound in my right ear. I put on headphones just to be sure I wasn't imagining this. Later, I turned on Leno and dripping continued. Switched to Letterman - no dripping.
So, it seems isolated to NBC (haven't found another channel to do it). Two different receivers, two AVRs (connected with different cable types), two dishes and the problem gets recorded (same watching a recording vs. watching live). I did a search and found no one else with this issue.
Any ideas?

all HD locals are pixelated again tonight... been happening on and off for almost a year now.
Laker game was horrible on channel 9 on Wednesday. The picture must have cut out a handful of times and or the sound. I think it is 9, but I have always noticed during the game that the pictures will go out of focus for a few seconds and then slowly become clear to an HD picture..strange. My signal is pretty much 80's on 99 and 103c, so I think it is either channel 9 or Direct. I have had issues on the other locals as well and has been an issue since I have had Direct since April.

The station is listed as "LA 28" on the Guide but the station logo shows KCETHD on the screen. I realize that the other local HD channels are listed as KNBC, KCBS, KTTV, etc.
I have bars on both top and bottom and on the sides.

I did as you suggested and it shows: LA 28 not KCET.
I have reset with the red button and reset with the unplugging but still
get the LA 28.
Maybe I'll send DIRECTV an e-mail and ask for suggestions.
What shows are you viewing in HD on KCET?
Thanks again.

A newbie here, and saying hello.
I'm China online, and Darlene in real life. I live in Northern Ontario with my husband of 25 years. We don't own any kiddies, but are owned by a 9 year old Maltese/Terrier who thinks that she is people. I am borrowing her name online. LOL!!
I am disabled with severe headaches, so my computers are my way of coping with the pain. As long as I'm busy on here, I don't think of the pain. It's bad today and seems to be getting the better of me.
I love my PSP, and at times I hate it. I create Posers in DAZ. They are available to snag at my blog. I have wanted to learn to Digital Scrapbook for a long time and do know how to make a few things like paper, a couple of elements, and I've even made an alpha set.
I am a pak-rat when it comes to collecting freebie scrapkits. I have a wide variety of them, and really want to get to use some of them.
I have Photoshop CS2 installed in my computer but have only opened it, since it looks so scarey. I also have Photoshop CS4 Extended. A friend gave it to me when they found out that I was buying a new camera.
I like to dabble in photography, but am thinking about taking a course to learn more about it. My new camera came in just a couple of hours ago, and I'm waiting for the battery to charge.
I'm looking forward to hopefully learning some new things here, so that I will have a way of displaying my photos.
If you would like to know anything else, then please feel free to ask.

Women's Reservation Bill: "Conspiracy" Against Muslims…?
March 11, 2010 by TMO
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Congress-led government's attempt to create history on March 8, 2010 by securing passage of Women's Reservation Bill through the Parliament on International Women's Day has failed. The controversial bill reserves 33 percent of legislative seats in the Parliament. Ironically, though the bill has support of the Congress and from ranks of opposition, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Left bloc, it is fiercely opposed by Samajwadi Party (SP), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Bahuajan Samaj Party (BSP).
Being celebrated across the world for almost 100 years, the global theme highlighted by United Nations for International Women's Day this year was "Equal rights, Equal opportunities: Progress for all." In India, the attempt made to reserve 33 percent of seats for women in the Parliament did not succeed on March 8. Rather, the dismal picture presented of the ruckus created in the Parliament, leading to repeated adjournments of both the Houses, raised questions on politicians playing a greater part in distorting legislative procedures than in contributing to actually creating history. Soon after the bill was tabled in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) by Law Minister Veerappa Moily, around a dozen members opposing it attacked the Chairperson, Vice President Hamid Ansari. They even threw tore the bill into pieces and threw around the paper, pen stands and microphone. The legislators opposing the bill shouted down the supporters to prevent a debate on the bill.
Justifying their opposition, the SP and RJD announced withdrawal of their support to the Congress-led coalition government. Demanding a quota within the reservation-quota for women, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said: "We are not opposing the bill per se. We want, and the nation wants, that the reservation should be given to backward women who don't have resources. The real India should be empowered. Give them 50 percent reservation. We will not oppose that." Taking the same stand, SP leader Mulayam Singh said that the bill should provide quota for minorities, Dalits and backward classes. Claiming that bill was a "conspiracy" against interests of Muslims and Dalits, SP chief said: "The interests of minorities and Dalits are being undermined. The reservation should be for Muslims."
BSP leader Mayawati also opposes the bill without their being a "quota-within-quota" for women belonging to backward castes and the minority community. Incidentally, rifts are reported within the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) too, with one of its key allies Trinamool Congress led by Railway Minister Mamata Bannerjee demanding reservation for minorities and backward classes in the bill.
While the BJP pledged its support to bill, it expressed reservations on voting for it without a debate on the same. Ravi Shankar Prasad, BJP legislator in Rajya Sabha said: "We want this bill to be passed with proper debate and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure this eventuality in the house. Let us try to trust the managerial ability of this government which is coming in to question with every passing hour."
Meanwhile, as Women's Day passed by with the government having failed to "create history," Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said: "It's wastage of the day (International Women's Day). The Women's Reservation Bill is a subject where the only question is when and not if. It is an idea whose time has come." Criticizing the bill's opponent, he said: "The thinking of a handful of people has been exposed…. This mentality brings shame on Indian democracy."
In general, the Indian Muslim leaders and organizations are keen on a reservation bill for increasing minorities' representation in the Parliament. The women's bill, without any reference to Muslim women, carries little importance for them. They are opposed to it, fearing that it would further marginalize Muslims' representation in the Parliament.
All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) represented by Maulana Badruddin Ajmal in the Lok Sabha has opposed the bill, describing it as "simply unacceptable for minorities especially Muslims." "The bill is actually an anti-minority bill in guise of empowerment of women," he said. AIDUF claims that prominent political houses aim to use the bill to let women members of their families enter the Parliament. The bill thus is a game plan of a section of political elite to make a weak woman weaker and a strong one stronger, AIDUF said. With there being a "negligible minority representation" in the Parliament, the bill will lead to "no representation" for the minorities. Without any quota for Muslim and Dalit women, the bill is a "mockery at all minorities and Dalits and against the interest of Indian nationhood," AIUDF stated. "If religion based reservation is unacceptable for majority when it comes to political empowerment of minorities, how can a gender-based reservation be viewed as rational," AIUDF questioned.
Since 1996, the Women's Reservation Bill has been introduced and re-introduced several times in the Parliament to have only faced strong opposition. With their political base emerging from the support of minorities and backward classes, SP, RJD and BSP are determined to fiercely oppose it. Describing the bill as "political dacoity," which "won't be tolerated," Lalu Prasad told media persons in presence of Mulayam Singh: "We will use our democratic rights fully whatever the consequences. They (the government) can get us thrown out."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

complete waste of money
Pros: lots of colors?
Cons: they don't work!
these came in the mail dry, and I tried to revive them with airbrush colors, and it worked for about 10 seconds, before they were dry again. I tried some vodka and regular gel colors too, since they were already ruined, and it it lasted about 15 seconds. Both methods I took the cap off one side, and stuck it in the color for 3 days, just for 10-15 seconds of coloring I think the dark green one was the only one that worked, at all.

Secondhand America: Carmel-By-The-Sea, California
America's wealth of secondhand stores is not exactly a secret, but it it can be pretty intimidating in its vastness. Follow our writer as she tip-toes through junk, browses the shelves of antique malls and bargains with vintage brokers, reporting back on just what makes our resale shops so damn good.
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a place whose reputation precedes it—and when you see the insane coastal views, you'll believe the hype. If you think that thrifting here would be amazing, you'd be correct. Just south of the town's main square is a trifecta of great secondhand shops, which you should definitely take advantage of if you can tear yourself away from the beach.
Start your shopping adventure at the SPCA Benefit Shop, a large-but-cozy complex where you're as likely to encounter a loving pet as you are a sales associate. Clothes-wise, only coats and pantsuits will run you more than $10—almost everything else (tops, sweaters, jeans) hovers in the $5 range. As there is a dedicated higher-end and higher-priced section ("The Boutique"), there are some great major-label pieces to be found: a plaid Marc Jacobs coat, a Banana Republic fisherman cardigan, and a DKNY sweater. The book section is as big as the library of my dreams, and there are plenty of little knickknacks to round out the stock.
Once you're done with the SPCA, walk across the street (yes, literally) to the Yellow Brick Road Benefit Shop, a decidedly airy shop with serious high-end appeal. What's fun are the themed displays that dot the shop, including a full table setting complete with fake flowers. Housewares are the draw: you can go pricey with gorgeous serving pieces that will run you anywhere from $75 to $35, or cheapish with lovely dishes and cream pots for around $6. The book section here is also massive—as evidenced by the need for a diorama-like guide and discount boxes outside—and there are tons of other great pieces, including clothing and accessories.
Last but not least is the Joining Hands Benefit Shop, which is technically next to the SPCA shop but we saved it for the end—and for good reason. At this stuffed-to-the-brim, intimate shop, the real thrill here is both the atmosphere and the goods (oh, and the complimentary coffee and cookie station doesn't hurt). My best treasures were found here: some champagne-ready vessels bearing my own etched-on monogram. I had to stop myself from buying the whole lot. My next-best find? Incredible mesh leather T-strap sandals, which I wore to the ground after purchasing. I left about $18 poorer but with excellent pieces.
Can thrifting be as good as the beach? In Carmel, the answer is yes.
Freelance writer Alison Baitz (who has also written for Bust and Refinery29 among others) is so excited that she got to visit thrift stores and antique malls as part of her job.

About SINISTERGN's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've loved pretty much anything mechanical, Cars, Trucks, Tractors, Big Rigs, Guns, Computers, Etc. since the day I was born. I guess I've always been facinated with how things work. That must also explain my old job, Drafting at a Engineering Firm. Now I'm considered to disabled to work. Eventually I may not be able to drive, but I'll have cars till the day I die because I can always ride!
My first car
My First Car was a Truck. I was 14 when I bought it. It was a 1960 Chevy 3/4 ton. I drug it out of the weeds for a cool $200. It ran all the way to my house (About 20 miles) where it sat in the back yard for the next two years. I mowed lawns (even after Football and Track practices) to pay for the parts to get it road worthy. All that and I still had a B+ grade point average!
Car I wish I still had
There two cars I wish I still had. My 1969 Olds 442 and my 1971 Firebird Formula 455 H.O.
My dream car
My #1 dream car is a 1970 Olds 442 with the W-30 package.
Car clubs I'm in
- Type of racing: almost any kind, but not a big NASCAR fan.
- Driver: Tony Kanaan, Sabine Schmidt, John Force, Warren Johnson, Jason Line
- Driving song: I Can't Drive 55 or anything Hard
- Car movie: All of them, American Graffitti, Smokey & the Bandit, etc.
- Car book: SUPER DUTY by Daniel K Munroe on this site! Awsome Book!!!
- Car magazine: GM Hightech Performance, Autoweek, etc.
- Car game: Grand Turismo 4

Last year's event attracted over 600 runners and walkers and raised $25,000 for the Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital at The University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
The run/walk will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the SouthGroup headquarters offices in The Woodlands Office Park at County Line Road and Woodlands Parkway in Ridgeland.
Pre-registration is available at www.southgroup.net.
According to Roger Easley of SouthGroup in Cleveland, the Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital treats over 150,000 children from every county in Mississippi each year for everything from cystic fibrosis and juvenile diabetes to pediatric heart disease, neurological disorders and other childhood illnesses.
"Many of us are blessed with healthy children and this is one way we are able to make sure those less fortunate receive the world-class medical treatment they need," Easley said.
The event will also include a one-mile fun run as well as activities for children.
"Runners and walkers came from all over Mississippi last year and we are, again, looking for over 600 participants and hope to raise another $25,000 for the treatment of our children," Stephanie Melton continued.
"We would love to see participants from Cleveland, area high schools and Delta State join us in Ridgeland the morning of February 18 either competing in the race for medals or just walking to support the children's hospital," Clometa Register added.
For more information, call your SouthGroup office at 843-2747.
