Final 2 Defendants Sentenced In Stolen Identity And Tax Fraud Scheme
STATESBORO, GA -- TIDAESHA V. TAYLOR, 27, and GREGORY F. SMITH, JR., 21, were sentenced last week before United States District Court Judge B. Avant Edenfield in Statesboro, Georgia for their roles in a stolen identity and tax fraud scheme centered in Statesboro, Georgia. In total, 13 individuals were charged, convicted, and sentenced in a scheme to steal identities and submit false tax returns that cost the American taxpayers over $1 million in bogus tax refunds.
United States Attorney Edward J. Tarver said, "In the midst of another tax season, cases like these demonstrate the substantial risks to the millions of honest tax filers of having their personal information stolen and fraudulently used. The United States Attorney's Office will continue its efforts to protect the integrity of the federal income tax filing system and to prosecute those responsible for stealing the identities of legitimate taxpayers in order to deny them the refunds to which they are entitled."
J. Britt Johnson, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, stated, "This case involved numerous individuals working together to defraud the government, as well as taxpayers, in a systematic manner. The law enforcement response, similarly, consisted of various law enforcement groups working together in a systematic manner to stem the tide of this organized criminal enterprise. The FBI will continue to dedicate significant resources and personnel toward the investigation of such groups that would do so much harm to so many."
IRS Special Agent in Charge Veronica F. Hyman-Pillot stated, "The sentences these defendants received will not replace the losses that were incurred or the harm endured by the victims. However, they do illustrate that IRS Criminal Investigation, along with our law enforcement partners, are committed to pursuing individuals who commit these types of crimes. We will continue to unite and utilize every tool available to investigate those who conspire with each other to victimize members of our community for their own personal gain."
In 2013, Taylor and Smith, along with 11 others, were indicted on charges ranging from a conspiracy to defraud the IRS to identity theft. According to evidence presented during guilty plea and sentencing hearings, these schemers stole personal identifiers, such as names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers, from medical records and other sources, which they then used to submit fraudulent tax returns in order to obtain tax refunds to which they were not entitled.
Taylor and Smith were the last to be sentenced of the 13 defendants originally charged. Each of the 13 defendants and their sentences are as follows:
ERICA BALDWIN, 31, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on January 7, 2014, to 81 months in prison.
TRACY DENSON, 44, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on February 13, 2014, to 100 months in prison.
SHAKITA EASON, 30, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on January 7, 2014, to 104 months in prison.
YOLANDA EDMOND, 36, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on October 8, 2013, to 32 months in prison.
GLORIA EVANS, 44, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on October 8, 2013, to 39 months in prison.
JOSHUA MINCEY, 20, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on January 7, 2014, to 48 months in prison.
PORSCHE S. PINKNEY, 19, of Augusta, Georgia, was sentenced on January 14, 2014, to 65 months in prison.
DWAN SCOTT, 32, of Statesboro, Georgia, was sentenced on January 14, 2014, to 72 months in prison.
JENNA SCOTT, 28, of Jacksonville, Florida, was sentenced on January 23, 2014, to 75 months in prison.
GREGORY F. SMITH, JR., 21, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, was sentenced on March 5, 2014, to 95 months in prison.
ASHA K. SPAULDING, 37, of Claxton, Georgia, was sentenced on October 8, 2013, to 154 months in prison.
TIDAESHA V. TAYLOR, 27, of College Park, Georgia, was sentenced on March 5, 2014, to 75 months in prison.
ANDREA WEBB, 31, of Register, Georgia, was sentenced on January 7, 2014, to 51 months in prison.
FBI Special Agent Marcus Kirkland and IRS-CI Special Agent Gwen Weston led the investigation in this case. They were assisted by the Statesboro Police Department, the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office, and Region 5 of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Lamont A. Belk prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States. For additional information, please contact First Assistant United States Attorney James D. Durham at (912) 201-2547.

It took John Connor more than a year to buy a house in Columbia. With an imperfect credit history, a limited amount of money and few affordable homes to choose from, Connor, an auto technician, wondered if he'd ever find a place to call home.
"There were some times of despair, where I was depressed," Connor said. "You just feel: 'Am I ever going to find a place?' "
At one point during his search, Connor found a home in an affordable part of the city and applied for a Federal Housing Administration mortgage loan. But the agency rejected the application because the home had a crack in the basement.
After months of frustration, Connor eventually landed a home with the help of a local mortgage consultant who walked him through the process of getting a loan.
Securing a loan is among the most daunting hurdles faced by prospective home buyers like John Connor.
Columbia's most affordable neighborhoods generate half as many home loan applications per 1,000 occupied housing units as other areas of the city, according to a Missourian analysis of recent federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and U.S. Census data.
Moreover, those applications are rejected by lenders 30 percent more often than those in other areas, the Missourian found.
To identify Columbia's most affordable areas, the Missourian used guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2002 home sales data from the Boone County Assessor's Office and income figures from Census 2000.
Five census tracts in the central northwest and central northeast areas of Columbia — north of Broadway and straddling both sides of Providence Road — contain most of the city's affordable housing. Census tracts in areas with high proportions of undergraduate students were excluded from the analysis.
More than two-thirds of applications for homes in affordable areas are rejected for one of two primary reasons, the Missourian found. One in four applicants were rejected because of their credit histories. And for 42 percent of the rejected applicants, the loan would have put them too far into debt. (Story continues below graphic.)
Home loan applicants in other areas of the city were rejected less often, the Missourian analysis found. Lenders rejected 29 percent of those applications for excessive debt and 36 percent for poor credit history.
Local residential real estate experts say one problem faced by affordable housing customers is the mortgage loan process.
"For individuals that are in economically disadvantaged areas, the process of home ownership is often foreign to them," said the Rev. William Young of EnterLight Ministries, a group that helps Missouri residents find affordable homes.
Some buyers do not know what it takes to qualify for a loan, or even that with some help they can qualify for a loan. That was the case for Connor.
"I was on the fringes," he said. "I would never have expected to get a house."
Some local lenders, who say homeownership benefits the entire community, are trying to attract more loan applicants and gain more approvals in affordable neighborhoods.
Most of the people shopping for affordable homes are first-time applicants, said Eric Barets, a branch operations manager at Countrywide Home Loan, 2101 W. Broadway.
Micki Marrero, a local loan consultant with Springfield Mortgage, said that if an applicant is turned down for a particular property, it doesn't necessarily mean he or she can't qualify for a loan. Many applicants don't realize they can apply again if they get rejected.
"I've had a lot of comments like, 'I'll never be able to get a loan.' But that's not the case," said Marrero, who eventually helped Connor secure a loan.
Area lenders say it's important for applicants who are rejected to communicate with loan officers. A mortgage loan expert can help applicants resolve problems such as poor credit.
"Credit history is important. Everyone is checking that," said Deborah Graves, vice president and mortgage loan managing officer of Boone County National Bank downtown.
Some lenders offer formal programs to help applicants improve their credit history and eliminate other obstacles that get in the way of obtaining a loan.
Countrywide has a home counseling center to help clients navigate the home loan application process, including deciding whether homeownership is right for them.
Boone County National Bank sponsors similar seminars at University Hospital and other locations in Columbia. The bank also tries to qualify more people by offering special loans tailored to customers' needs. Some loans, for example, require no closing costs or down payments.
"The possibilities are endless for home buyers," Graves said. Some loan consultants, like Marrero, help educate potential home buyers without charging extra fees. She has helped clients settle their debts by negotiating with creditors.
EnterLight Ministries helps prospective home buyers set up budgets and resolve debt. The organization also conducts monthly workshops on how to apply for a mortgage.
"Individuals who have low incomes automatically feel that they don't qualify, and that's not true," Young said. "They may not be able to get the exact home they want, but they can still purchase a home depending on credit history and such."
But even with assistance from loan counselors and mortgage seminars, people shopping for homes still might not be able to find one they can afford, lenders say.
"The sense we get is that there is a lack of choices for people out there looking in certain price ranges," Barets said. "They are restricted to looking at an existing home. Very few new homes fit into those price ranges."
Connor started out by looking for homes in the $40,000 to $60,000 range but failed to find something he'd be proud to show his adult daughter.
"There's nothing worse than making a house payment on something you hate," he said.
After working with Marrero, he realized he could afford more.
Mortgage interest rates dropped to their lowest level in decades last summer, which allowed potential home buyers like Connor to consider more expensive homes. And because the rates remain low, more people are looking for homes.
Connor received a loan in July that allowed him to purchase a home on a quiet street across from Bear Creek Park. Evergreen trees surround his back yard.
"I'm happy every day I come home," he said.

Today's temporary regulations [PDF 66 KB] and proposed regulations [PDF 16 KB] revise the rules for making the ASC election and allow the election on an amended return if a return claiming the credit has not previously been filed for that tax year.
The alternative simplified credit (ASC) is an elective method of computing the research credit.
A taxpayer that elects to use the ASC is allowed a credit equal to 14% of the amount by which its qualified research expenses (QREs) for the tax year exceed 50% of its average QREs for the three preceding tax years. An electing taxpayer that does not have any QREs in one or more of the three preceding tax year is allowed an ASC equal to 6% of its QREs for the tax year.
An election to use the ASC remains in effect until it is revoked with the consent of the IRS. The Code does not specify the time or manner of making or revoking the election, but IRS regulations explain that the ASC is elected by filing Form 6765, Credit for Increasing Research Activities, and using that method to compute the credit. The election is revoked by properly computing the credit using a different method on the Form 6765 that is filed for a tax year.
Final regulations issued in June 2011 further addressed the manner of making the election and calculation of the ASC. Those final regulations—consistent with earlier temporary regulations—explained that the Form 6765 making the election must be attached to a timely filed (including extensions) original return for the tax year to which the election applies. A taxpayer was not allowed to make an ASC election on an amended return, and an extension of time under Reg. section 301.9100-3 to make the election could not be granted.
The preamble to today's temporary regulations explains that Treasury and the IRS received numerous requests to amend the June 2011 regulations so as to allow taxpayers to make an ASC election on an amended return. Proponents of this change explained that the burden of substantiating expenditures and costs for the base period under the regular credit can be costly and time-consuming, and suggested that additional time was often needed to determine whether to claim the regular credit or the ASC.
In response to these requests, today's temporary and proposed regulations remove the rule prohibiting taxpayers from making an ASC election on an amended return, and allow taxpayers to make an ASC election for a tax year on an amended return.
The temporary regulations also provide, however, that a taxpayer that previously claimed a section 41 credit on an original or amended return for a tax year may not then make an ASC election for that tax year on an amended return. The preamble notes that permitting changes from the regular credit to the ASC on amended returns could result in more than one audit of a taxpayer's research credit for a tax year.
Also, the temporary regulations provide that a taxpayer that is a member of a controlled group in a tax year may not make an ASC election under section 41(c)(5) for that tax year on an amended return if any member of the controlled group for that year previously claimed the research credit using a method other than the ASC on an original or amended return for that tax year.
These regulations apply to elections with respect to tax years ending on or after June 3, 2014—which is the date when these regulations will be published in the Federal Register. The temporary regulations expire on June 2, 2017.
However, a taxpayer may rely on these regulations to make an ASC election under section 41(c)(5) for a tax year ending prior to June 3, 2014, if the taxpayer makes the election before the period of limitations for assessment of tax has expired for that year. The temporary regulations leave in effect the earlier admonition that 9100 relief will not be granted to make an ASC election beyond the time permitted by these regulations.
The ASC first went into effect for tax years ending after December 31, 2006. A taxpayer that has never filed a research credit for a particular tax year ending after 2006—using either the regular credit computation method or the alternative incremental credit (which was available for tax years beginning before January 1, 2009)—may now make an election on an amended return for that tax year to use the ASC, if the statute of limitations for a refund for that tax year is still open. If a proper election is made to use the ASC, either on an original or an amended return, for a particular year, that election remains in effect for subsequent tax years until there is a year in which a different method of computing the credit is properly used. A taxpayer with an ASC election in effect for a particular tax year will not be permitted to claim a credit on an amended return for that year using the regular method or the alternative incremental credit.
Comments and requests for a public hearing with respect to the proposed regulations are due by the date that is 90 days after June 3, 2014.

Lewis William Gordon Pugh, OIG (born 5 December 1969) is an ocean advocate, a maritime lawyer and a pioneer swimmer.
He is often described as the "Sir Edmund Hillary of swimming."[1][2] He was the first person to complete a long-distance swim in every ocean of the world,[3] and he frequently swims in vulnerable ecosystems to draw attention to their plight.
He is best known for undertaking the first swim across the North Pole in 2007 to highlight the melting of the Arctic sea ice. In 2010 he swam across a glacial lake on Mount Everest to draw attention to the melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas, and the impact the reduced water supply will have on world peace. And in 2014 he became the first person to complete a long distance swim in all the Seven Seas, a campaign he undertook to urge surrounding nations to create more Marine Protected Areas.
His swims have received widespread media attention as he undertakes all of them, even those in the Polar Regions, according to Channel Swimming Rules – i.e. in just in a Speedo costume, cap and goggles. In 2013 he was inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.
Pugh is a leading figure in efforts to protect the oceans. In 2010 he was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum for his "potential to contribute to shaping the future of the world through inspiring leadership."[4] And in 2013 the United Nations Environment Programme appointed him "Patron of the Oceans".[5]
Early life and family[edit]
Pugh was born in Plymouth, England. His father, Surgeon Rear Admiral P.D. Gordon Pugh, OBE, FRCS was a surgeon in the Royal Navy, an author, and a prolific collector of ceramics of the Victorian era. His mother, Margery Pugh was a Senior Nursing Sister in Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service. Pugh is a descendant of William Carey the famous missionary. His father's cousin, Carey Heydenrych, participated in the "Great Escape" from the German POW camp Stalag Luft III during the Second World War.[6] In 2009 Pugh married Antoinette Malherbe, whom he met at school.
Pugh grew up on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon. When he was 10 years old his family emigrated to South Africa and he was educated at St Andrew's College in Grahamstown and later at Camps Bay High School in Cape Town. He read politics and law at the University of Cape Town and graduated with distinction and at the top of his Masters class. In his mid-twenties he returned to England where he read International Law at Jesus College, Cambridge and then worked as a maritime lawyer in the City of London for a number of years. During this time he concurrently served as a Reservist in the elite British Special Air Service.[7]
Environmental campaigning[edit]
During his youth Pugh visited many National Parks in South Africa. He attributes this to his father's desire to teach him to love and respect nature after what he had witnessed whilst serving in the Royal Navy.[8] His father was present at the first British atomic bomb test in 1952 and a number of subsequent tests.
In 2003 Pugh left his maritime law practice to campaign full-time for the protection of the oceans. He often addresses Heads of State and business leaders on the topics of climate change, overfishing and pollution and the need for Marine Protected Areas and low carbon economies.
In 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pugh took the evidence of witnesses from across Africa on the effects of climate change at the Pan-African Climate and Poverty Hearings. The evidence was presented to the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference.[9]
Public speaking[edit]
Pugh is an accomplished public speaker. He has twice spoken at the influential TEDGlobal conference and is described on their website as a "master story-teller".[10] The Financial Times reported that his speech at TEDGlobal in 2010:
"... was the perfect TED talk: a little bit of action, some thinking outside the box, humbling words on the need to respect nature, a happy ending. A Hollywood scriptwriter could not have structured it better."[11]
And his speech on environmental leadership at the 2008 Business Innovation Forum Conference in the USA was voted as one of the "7 Most Inspiring Videos on the Web" by Mashable, the social media guide.[12]
Pugh regularly speaks to businesses communities. He has addressed the World Economic Forum at their annual meeting in Davos. He also gave the keynote addresses at Coca-Cola's 125th anniversary in 2011, Lloyd's Agency Network's 200th anniversary in 2011 and Swiss Re's 150th anniversary in 2013.[13]
Polar Defense Project[edit]
In 2008 Pugh founded the Polar Defense Project to campaign for greater protection for the Arctic and a resolution of the maritime boundary disputes. In 2009 it won the Best Project for the Environment at the inaugural Beyond Sport Awards.[14]
Organisations Pugh works with[edit]
Pugh is the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) "Patron of the Oceans". He sits on the Council of Ambassadors for the World Wide Fund for Nature in the UK.[15] He worked closely with the late Dr Ian Player and the Wilderness Leadership School to promote and protect the last wilderness areas on the earth. He is also the Patron of SANCCOB, a NGO dedicated to the rehabilitation of seabirds.
BP Oil Disaster[edit]
Pugh was outspoken on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In a feature in Business Day he said:
"They [BP top executives] should be criminally prosecuted. They should go to jail. What I can't understand is why people haven't responded more vigorously, by boycotting BP."[16]
Fracking for gas in the Karoo[edit]
Pugh also opposes fracking for gas in the Karoo region of South Africa. In a public speech to Royal Dutch Shell in 2011 entitled "Standing up to Goliath" he said:
"Never, ever did I think there would be a debate in this arid country about which was more important – gas or water. We can survive without gas. We can not live without water ... Now is the time for change. We cannot drill our way out of the energy crisis. The era of fossil fuels is over. We must invest in renewable energy. And we must not delay."[17]
Environmental awareness expeditions[edit]
Pugh has undertaken a number of symbolic swims to highlight environmental issues:
River Thames[edit]
In 2006, he became the first person to swim the entire length of the River Thames. He undertook the swim to draw attention to the severe drought in England and the dangers of global warming. The 325 km (202 mi) swim took him 21 days to complete. The river had stopped flowing due to the drought, forcing Pugh to run the first 42 km (26 mi) of the river. While swimming through London, Pugh exited the water and made a visit to Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street to call on the United Kingdom to move towards a low carbon economy. Shortly afterwards the Prime Minister introduced the Climate Change Bill to Parliament.
In February 2007 Pugh became the first person to swim across the width of the Maldives. He undertook the swim to raise awareness about the effect of climate change on low lying islands in the world. The 140 km (87 mi) swim took 10 days to complete.
North Pole[edit]
In July 2007 Pugh undertook the first long-distance swim across the Geographic North Pole. The 1 km (0.62 mi) swim, across an open patch of sea, in minus 1.7 °C (29 °F) water, took 18 minutes and 50 seconds to complete. Jørgen Amundsen, the great-grandnephew of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, paced Pugh by skiing alongside him during the swim.[18]
The swim coincided with the lowest coverage of Arctic sea ice ever recorded. After his swim Pugh explained his decision to swim in just a Speedo costume:
"I urge world leaders to do everything they can to protect our environment. But sometimes the legislation I request they enact is unpopular with the electorate. If I am asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit or a dry-suit would not send the right message."[19]
Arctic kayak[edit]
In September 2008, Pugh, accompanied by a team aboard a ship where he slept, attempted to kayak the 1,200 km from Svalbard, across the Arctic Ocean, to the North Pole, but the team abandoned the effort 135 km from the start.[20] The aim was to further highlight the melting sea ice. The expedition coincided with some scientists predicting that the North Pole could be free of sea-ice in the summer of 2008, for the first time in thousands of years.[21] Pugh stated that despite several attempts, they were unable to find a gap in the ice. In his autobiography Pugh wrote:
"Ironically, global warming played no small part in undermining the entire expedition. We believed that the greater melting of summer ice would open up large areas of sea and allow us to paddle north at good speed. What we did not fully appreciate was that to the north of us there was a widespread melting of sea ice off the coast of Alaska and the New Siberian Islands and the ice was being pushed south towards us ... The evidence of climate change was stark. Fourteen months before I'd sailed north and I'd seen a preponderance of multi-year ice about three metres thick north of Spitsbergen, but this time most of the ice was just a metre thick."[22]
Mt Everest[edit]
In May 2010 Pugh swam across Lake Pumori, a glacial lake on Mt Everest, to highlight the melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas and the impact the reduced water supply will have on world peace.[23] Millions of people from India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal rely on the water, which flows from the Himalayan glaciers. The 1 km (0.62 mi) swim, at an altitude of 5,300 metres, in 2 °C water (35 °F),[24] took 22 minutes and 51 seconds to complete. To date, it's the highest known swim ever undertaken.
The Seven Seas[edit]
In August 2014 Pugh undertook the first long distance swim in all the Seven Seas to campaign for more Marine Protected Areas in the region. The swims took place in the following locations:
- Mediterranean Sea – a 10 km swim off Monte Carlo in Monaco
- Adriatic Sea – a 10 km swim off Zadar in Croatia
- Aegean Sea – a 10 km swim off Athens in Greece
- Black Sea – a 10 km swim off Şile in Turkey
- Red Sea – a 10 km swim off Aqaba in Jordan
- Arabian Sea – a 10 km swim off Rass Al Hadd in Oman
- North Sea – a 60 km swim from Southend on Sea to the Thames Barrier.
Afterwards Pugh wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times that:
"The swims were intended to draw attention to the health of the oceans. But I seriously underestimated the urgency of the issue I was swimming for. As the United Nation's Patron of the Oceans, I have given many speeches stressing the need to protect our environment for the sake of our children and grandchildren. I now I realize it's not about our children. It's about us. The situation is much worse than I thought. I was shocked by what I saw in the seas, and by what I didn't see. I saw no sharks, no whales, no dolphins. I saw no fish longer than 30 centimeters (11 inches). The larger ones had all been fished out." [25]
Pugh has appeared on numerous TV shows including Good Morning America, Jay Leno,[26] Richard & Judy, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart[27] and BBC Breakfast. He has also been featured by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Vital Signs on CNN,[28] ADN on France 2, Carte Blanche and Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.[29]
In 2009 Pugh starred in Robson Green's Wild Swimming Adventure where he trained the English actor to swim across the icy waters of Llyn Llydaw, a lake on Snowdon in Wales. Afterwards Robson Green said:
"… Lewis prepared me psychologically for something that was way outside my comfort zone. His introduction to the notion of committing to an objective, becoming unstoppable and reaching that objective was life changing. There was no swim I couldn't do after meeting Lewis because anything is possible if you COMMIT!!"[30]
In 2013 he appeared on the front of The Big Issue holding a northern rockhopper penguin in an issue dedicated to ocean issues.[31]
In 2010 Pugh's autobiography "Achieving the Impossible" was published by Simon & Schuster. It quickly became a No. 1 best-seller.[32]
In 2013 Pugh wrote a second book entitled "21 Yaks and a Speedo". The title is a reference to his swim on Mt Everest. The book is a collection of 21 short stories about his expeditions and the lessons he has learnt from them. It was published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. The Financial Times described the book as "compelling"[33] and Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu said "The book made me want to stand a little taller."[34]
Over a period of 27 years Pugh has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer in history. In an interview with Forbes he stated:
"Between Lynne Cox, Martin Strel and myself, we've hit all of the world's major landmarks. There's really nothing left."[35]
In 2013 he was inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.[36]
Early swims[edit]
Pugh had his first real swimming lesson in 1986, at the age of 17. One month later he swam from Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned) to Cape Town. In 1992 he swam across the English Channel. In 2002 he broke the record for the fastest time for swimming around Robben Island.
He was the first person to swim around Cape Agulhas (the southernmost point in Africa), the Cape of Good Hope, and the Cape Peninsula (a 100 km (62 mi) swim from Cape Town to Muizenberg). Pugh was also the first person to swim across an African Great Lake, namely Lake Malawi.
Cold water swims[edit]
After 2003 Pugh focused on pioneering swims in the coldest and most hostile waters of the world. All of them were undertaken in accordance with Channel Swimming Association rules, in just a pair of Speedo swimming trunks, cap and goggles. He became the first person to swim around the infamous North Cape, the northernmost point in Europe. The following year he became the first person to swim down the entire length of Sognefjord in Norway, a 204 km (127 mi) swim which took him 21 days to complete.
In 2005 he broke the world record for the farthest-north long-distance swim by undertaking a 1 km (0.62 mi) swim at 80° North around Verlegenhuken, the northern-most cape in Spitsbergen. He followed that five months later by breaking Lynne Cox's world record for the farthest-south long-distance swim by undertaking a 1 km (0.62 mi) swim at 65° South at Petermann Island off the Antarctic Peninsula.
In 2006 Pugh challenged Russia's top cold water swimmers to a 500-metre race at the World Winter Swimming Championships in Finland. He easily won the gold medal, beating Russian Champion Alexander Brylin by over 100 metres and the bronze medalist Nefatov Vladimir by 125 metres.
Anticipatory Thermo-Genesis[edit]
On both his Arctic and Antarctic expeditions Professor Tim Noakes, a sports scientist from the University of Cape Town, recorded Pugh's ability to raise his core body temperature by nearly 2 °C in anticipation of entering the freezing water.[37][38] He coined the phrase "anticipatory thermo-genesis" (the creation of heat before an event).[39][40] This phenomenon had not been noted in any other human. Pugh believes it is a Pavlovian Response to years of cold water swimming.
"Holy Grail" of swimming[edit]
In 2006 Pugh achieved the "Holy Grail" of swimming by becoming the first person to complete a long-distance swim in all 5 oceans of the world. To date he is the only person to have achieved this feat. His five swims were :
- Atlantic Ocean – across the English Channel in 1992
- Arctic Ocean – around the most northern point of the Island of Spitsbergen in 2005
- Southern Ocean – across Whaler's Bay in Deception Island in 2005
- Indian Ocean – across Nelson Mandela Bay in 2006

Supports bringing incoming MIDI data into MATLAB on Windows.
% midi_interface - Interface for acquiring MIDI messages from one of the % system's MIDI input devices. Only works on Windows XP and above. % % Usage: % % [success, device] = midi_interface('open') prompts the user for MIDI % devices to open, opens a device, and returns the success and device id. % % success = midi_interface('open', device) opens the specified device (by % number or string name) and returns the success. % % midi_interface('close') closes the current MIDI device. % % [messages, times] = midi_interface() returns the buffer of messages and % message times and clears the buffer. One message is a 1x3 matrix of ints. % The first value is the first "byte", etc. The meaning of the values can % be found here: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php. The timing % values are milliseconds since the interface was started (since the 'open' % command). These values come from the system's MIDI driver via Windows. % % Notes: % % - Only 1 device can be open at a time. % - A new device cannot be opened until the first is properly closed. % - The maximum buffer size is 65536 messages. Beyond this number, messages % will be dropped, so the buffer should be checked quickly. % % Tucker McClure @ The MathWorks % Copyright 2012-2013 The MathWorks, Inc.

Hey guys, I just had an idea!
Since my post about Alexandr on Phil's 'Promote someone on AJ' – thread found some very positive echo, I thought, why not give him a little present as a Thank you in appreciation of his efforts? So here's my idea:
Starting next week on the beginning of the "Envato week", we buy one of Alexandr's items and so we hopefully can get him into the weekly topsellers, thus giving him some well deserved exposure.
I checked his portfolio and thought about his item "Rock Loops" here for $6 :
In case you dont want or can't spend $6 at the moment, you can buy his track "Selection Of Dreams" for only $2 on TRAX here:
So, if it is not against any rules, I'd really like to help his item "Rock Loops" get to the top sellers for (at least) one week. At the moment, we would need only 10 people for it. It would be great if one of the staff could give an official OK and tell the exact time of the "Envato week" to start.
Everybody who wants to join and give Alexandr from FHR _Studios a little thank you, please post a short "Count me in" here in this thread.
I will start:
"Im in"
Greetings, Sascha (Basspartout)
Me too
Alexandr has been very helpful and deserves that, so – count me in
I'm in
Count me in!
And I'm in too!
Yes, I would like to thank Alexandr! I'm in
This is perfect, I have $5 to spend from my $20 "Community Superstar" credit that I've been trying to give back to the community. What's one more dollar? I'm in! Plus I like those Rock loops of his!
Basspartout said
Awesome, guys. Just came back from a great sunny afternoon here in Berlin and was happy to find already 7 answers in here
Great! i love those images Haha they make me smile everytime Keep it up Basspartout!

Second generation Freedom SW Inverter/Chargers
Xantrex Technology offers their second generation Freedom SW Inverter/Chargers. The second generation 2,000-watt model has been redesigned to include many of the same features found in its high-power 3,000-watt, first generation counterpart. Parallel and series stacking allows two units (either 2,000-watt or 3,000-watt) to provide up to twice the rated current and charging output, resulting in the ability to operate high power loads while charging large battery banks. Another feature enhancement is Generator Support Mode which enables the Freedom SW to automatically supplement a generator when AC loads exceed the generator's capacity.
Some additional key features include an improved AC transfer/AC input detection time, providing the ability to transfer AC loads to batteries in less than 10 milliseconds when the incoming grid or generator power is lost. Connected loads are almost unable to feel the power transition due to this quick transfer time. Both models also offer full output in higher temperature range and feature efficient, power factor corrected charging. In addition, both are compatible with the optional system control panel and automatic generator start, and meet CSA, UL 458 with marine supplement, FCC Class B and ABYC requirements.

Based on kernel version 4.0. Page generated on 2015-04-14 21:24 EST.
1 Changes since 2.5.0: 2 3 --- 4 [recommended] 5 6 New helpers: sb_bread(), sb_getblk(), sb_find_get_block(), set_bh(), 7 sb_set_blocksize() and sb_min_blocksize(). 8 9 Use them. 10 11 (sb_find_get_block() replaces 2.4's get_hash_table()) 12 13 --- 14 [recommended] 15 16 New methods: ->alloc_inode() and ->destroy_inode(). 17 18 Remove inode->u.foo_inode_i 19 Declare 20 struct foo_inode_info { 21 /* fs-private stuff */ 22 struct inode vfs_inode; 23 }; 24 static inline struct foo_inode_info *FOO_I(struct inode *inode) 25 { 26 return list_entry(inode, struct foo_inode_info, vfs_inode); 27 } 28 29 Use FOO_I(inode) instead of &inode->u.foo_inode_i; 30 31 Add foo_alloc_inode() and foo_destroy_inode() - the former should allocate 32 foo_inode_info and return the address of ->vfs_inode, the latter should free 33 FOO_I(inode) (see in-tree filesystems for examples). 34 35 Make them ->alloc_inode and ->destroy_inode in your super_operations. 36 37 Keep in mind that now you need explicit initialization of private data 38 typically between calling iget_locked() and unlocking the inode. 39 40 At some point that will become mandatory. 41 42 --- 43 [mandatory] 44 45 Change of file_system_type method (->read_super to ->get_sb) 46 47 ->read_super() is no more. Ditto for DECLARE_FSTYPE and DECLARE_FSTYPE_DEV. 48 49 Turn your foo_read_super() into a function that would return 0 in case of 50 success and negative number in case of error (-EINVAL unless you have more 51 informative error value to report). Call it foo_fill_super(). Now declare 52 53 int foo_get_sb(struct file_system_type *fs_type, 54 int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data, struct vfsmount *mnt) 55 { 56 return get_sb_bdev(fs_type, flags, dev_name, data, foo_fill_super, 57 mnt); 58 } 59 60 (or similar with s/bdev/nodev/ or s/bdev/single/, depending on the kind of 61 filesystem). 62 63 Replace DECLARE_FSTYPE... with explicit initializer and have ->get_sb set as 64 foo_get_sb. 65 66 --- 67 [mandatory] 68 69 Locking change: ->s_vfs_rename_sem is taken only by cross-directory renames. 70 Most likely there is no need to change anything, but if you relied on 71 global exclusion between renames for some internal purpose - you need to 72 change your internal locking. Otherwise exclusion warranties remain the 73 same (i.e. parents and victim are locked, etc.). 74 75 --- 76 [informational] 77 78 Now we have the exclusion between ->lookup() and directory removal (by 79 ->rmdir() and ->rename()). If you used to need that exclusion and do 80 it by internal locking (most of filesystems couldn't care less) - you 81 can relax your locking. 82 83 --- 84 [mandatory] 85 86 ->lookup(), ->truncate(), ->create(), ->unlink(), ->mknod(), ->mkdir(), 87 ->rmdir(), ->link(), ->lseek(), ->symlink(), ->rename() 88 and ->readdir() are called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon return 89 - that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If your method or its 90 parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can shift lock_kernel() and 91 unlock_kernel() so that they would protect exactly what needs to be 92 protected. 93 94 --- 95 [mandatory] 96 97 BKL is also moved from around sb operations. BKL should have been shifted into 98 individual fs sb_op functions. If you don't need it, remove it. 99 100 --- 101 [informational] 102 103 check for ->link() target not being a directory is done by callers. Feel 104 free to drop it... 105 106 --- 107 [informational] 108 109 ->link() callers hold ->i_mutex on the object we are linking to. Some of your 110 problems might be over... 111 112 --- 113 [mandatory] 114 115 new file_system_type method - kill_sb(superblock). If you are converting 116 an existing filesystem, set it according to ->fs_flags: 117 FS_REQUIRES_DEV - kill_block_super 118 FS_LITTER - kill_litter_super 119 neither - kill_anon_super 120 FS_LITTER is gone - just remove it from fs_flags. 121 122 --- 123 [mandatory] 124 125 FS_SINGLE is gone (actually, that had happened back when ->get_sb() 126 went in - and hadn't been documented ;-/). Just remove it from fs_flags 127 (and see ->get_sb() entry for other actions). 128 129 --- 130 [mandatory] 131 132 ->setattr() is called without BKL now. Caller _always_ holds ->i_mutex, so 133 watch for ->i_mutex-grabbing code that might be used by your ->setattr(). 134 Callers of notify_change() need ->i_mutex now. 135 136 --- 137 [recommended] 138 139 New super_block field "struct export_operations *s_export_op" for 140 explicit support for exporting, e.g. via NFS. The structure is fully 141 documented at its declaration in include/linux/fs.h, and in 142 Documentation/filesystems/nfs/Exporting. 143 144 Briefly it allows for the definition of decode_fh and encode_fh operations 145 to encode and decode filehandles, and allows the filesystem to use 146 a standard helper function for decode_fh, and provide file-system specific 147 support for this helper, particularly get_parent. 148 149 It is planned that this will be required for exporting once the code 150 settles down a bit. 151 152 [mandatory] 153 154 s_export_op is now required for exporting a filesystem. 155 isofs, ext2, ext3, resierfs, fat 156 can be used as examples of very different filesystems. 157 158 --- 159 [mandatory] 160 161 iget4() and the read_inode2 callback have been superseded by iget5_locked() 162 which has the following prototype, 163 164 struct inode *iget5_locked(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long ino, 165 int (*test)(struct inode *, void *), 166 int (*set)(struct inode *, void *), 167 void *data); 168 169 'test' is an additional function that can be used when the inode 170 number is not sufficient to identify the actual file object. 'set' 171 should be a non-blocking function that initializes those parts of a 172 newly created inode to allow the test function to succeed. 'data' is 173 passed as an opaque value to both test and set functions. 174 175 When the inode has been created by iget5_locked(), it will be returned with the 176 I_NEW flag set and will still be locked. The filesystem then needs to finalize 177 the initialization. Once the inode is initialized it must be unlocked by 178 calling unlock_new_inode(). 179 180 The filesystem is responsible for setting (and possibly testing) i_ino 181 when appropriate. There is also a simpler iget_locked function that 182 just takes the superblock and inode number as arguments and does the 183 test and set for you. 184 185 e.g. 186 inode = iget_locked(sb, ino); 187 if (inode->i_state & I_NEW) { 188 err = read_inode_from_disk(inode); 189 if (err < 0) { 190 iget_failed(inode); 191 return err; 192 } 193 unlock_new_inode(inode); 194 } 195 196 Note that if the process of setting up a new inode fails, then iget_failed() 197 should be called on the inode to render it dead, and an appropriate error 198 should be passed back to the caller. 199 200 --- 201 [recommended] 202 203 ->getattr() finally getting used. See instances in nfs, minix, etc. 204 205 --- 206 [mandatory] 207 208 ->revalidate() is gone. If your filesystem had it - provide ->getattr() 209 and let it call whatever you had as ->revlidate() + (for symlinks that 210 had ->revalidate()) add calls in ->follow_link()/->readlink(). 211 212 --- 213 [mandatory] 214 215 ->d_parent changes are not protected by BKL anymore. Read access is safe 216 if at least one of the following is true: 217 * filesystem has no cross-directory rename() 218 * we know that parent had been locked (e.g. we are looking at 219 ->d_parent of ->lookup() argument). 220 * we are called from ->rename(). 221 * the child's ->d_lock is held 222 Audit your code and add locking if needed. Notice that any place that is 223 not protected by the conditions above is risky even in the old tree - you 224 had been relying on BKL and that's prone to screwups. Old tree had quite 225 a few holes of that kind - unprotected access to ->d_parent leading to 226 anything from oops to silent memory corruption. 227 228 --- 229 [mandatory] 230 231 FS_NOMOUNT is gone. If you use it - just set MS_NOUSER in flags 232 (see rootfs for one kind of solution and bdev/socket/pipe for another). 233 234 --- 235 [recommended] 236 237 Use bdev_read_only(bdev) instead of is_read_only(kdev). The latter 238 is still alive, but only because of the mess in drivers/s390/block/dasd.c. 239 As soon as it gets fixed is_read_only() will die. 240 241 --- 242 [mandatory] 243 244 ->permission() is called without BKL now. Grab it on entry, drop upon 245 return - that will guarantee the same locking you used to have. If 246 your method or its parts do not need BKL - better yet, now you can 247 shift lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() so that they would protect 248 exactly what needs to be protected. 249 250 --- 251 [mandatory] 252 253 ->statfs() is now called without BKL held. BKL should have been 254 shifted into individual fs sb_op functions where it's not clear that 255 it's safe to remove it. If you don't need it, remove it. 256 257 --- 258 [mandatory] 259 260 is_read_only() is gone; use bdev_read_only() instead. 261 262 --- 263 [mandatory] 264 265 destroy_buffers() is gone; use invalidate_bdev(). 266 267 --- 268 [mandatory] 269 270 fsync_dev() is gone; use fsync_bdev(). NOTE: lvm breakage is 271 deliberate; as soon as struct block_device * is propagated in a reasonable 272 way by that code fixing will become trivial; until then nothing can be 273 done. 274 275 [mandatory] 276 277 block truncatation on error exit from ->write_begin, and ->direct_IO 278 moved from generic methods (block_write_begin, cont_write_begin, 279 nobh_write_begin, blockdev_direct_IO*) to callers. Take a look at 280 ext2_write_failed and callers for an example. 281 282 [mandatory] 283 284 ->truncate is gone. The whole truncate sequence needs to be 285 implemented in ->setattr, which is now mandatory for filesystems 286 implementing on-disk size changes. Start with a copy of the old inode_setattr 287 and vmtruncate, and the reorder the vmtruncate + foofs_vmtruncate sequence to 288 be in order of zeroing blocks using block_truncate_page or similar helpers, 289 size update and on finally on-disk truncation which should not fail. 290 inode_change_ok now includes the size checks for ATTR_SIZE and must be called 291 in the beginning of ->setattr unconditionally. 292 293 [mandatory] 294 295 ->clear_inode() and ->delete_inode() are gone; ->evict_inode() should 296 be used instead. It gets called whenever the inode is evicted, whether it has 297 remaining links or not. Caller does *not* evict the pagecache or inode-associated 298 metadata buffers; the method has to use truncate_inode_pages_final() to get rid 299 of those. Caller makes sure async writeback cannot be running for the inode while 300 (or after) ->evict_inode() is called. 301 302 ->drop_inode() returns int now; it's called on final iput() with 303 inode->i_lock held and it returns true if filesystems wants the inode to be 304 dropped. As before, generic_drop_inode() is still the default and it's been 305 updated appropriately. generic_delete_inode() is also alive and it consists 306 simply of return 1. Note that all actual eviction work is done by caller after 307 ->drop_inode() returns. 308 309 As before, clear_inode() must be called exactly once on each call of 310 ->evict_inode() (as it used to be for each call of ->delete_inode()). Unlike 311 before, if you are using inode-associated metadata buffers (i.e. 312 mark_buffer_dirty_inode()), it's your responsibility to call 313 invalidate_inode_buffers() before clear_inode(). 314 315 NOTE: checking i_nlink in the beginning of ->write_inode() and bailing out 316 if it's zero is not *and* *never* *had* *been* enough. Final unlink() and iput() 317 may happen while the inode is in the middle of ->write_inode(); e.g. if you blindly 318 free the on-disk inode, you may end up doing that while ->write_inode() is writing 319 to it. 320 321 --- 322 [mandatory] 323 324 .d_delete() now only advises the dcache as to whether or not to cache 325 unreferenced dentries, and is now only called when the dentry refcount goes to 326 0. Even on 0 refcount transition, it must be able to tolerate being called 0, 327 1, or more times (eg. constant, idempotent). 328 329 --- 330 [mandatory] 331 332 .d_compare() calling convention and locking rules are significantly 333 changed. Read updated documentation in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (and 334 look at examples of other filesystems) for guidance. 335 336 --- 337 [mandatory] 338 339 .d_hash() calling convention and locking rules are significantly 340 changed. Read updated documentation in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (and 341 look at examples of other filesystems) for guidance. 342 343 --- 344 [mandatory] 345 dcache_lock is gone, replaced by fine grained locks. See fs/dcache.c 346 for details of what locks to replace dcache_lock with in order to protect 347 particular things. Most of the time, a filesystem only needs ->d_lock, which 348 protects *all* the dcache state of a given dentry. 349 350 -- 351 [mandatory] 352 353 Filesystems must RCU-free their inodes, if they can have been accessed 354 via rcu-walk path walk (basically, if the file can have had a path name in the 355 vfs namespace). 356 357 Even though i_dentry and i_rcu share storage in a union, we will 358 initialize the former in inode_init_always(), so just leave it alone in 359 the callback. It used to be necessary to clean it there, but not anymore 360 (starting at 3.2). 361 362 -- 363 [recommended] 364 vfs now tries to do path walking in "rcu-walk mode", which avoids 365 atomic operations and scalability hazards on dentries and inodes (see 366 Documentation/filesystems/path-lookup.txt). d_hash and d_compare changes 367 (above) are examples of the changes required to support this. For more complex 368 filesystem callbacks, the vfs drops out of rcu-walk mode before the fs call, so 369 no changes are required to the filesystem. However, this is costly and loses 370 the benefits of rcu-walk mode. We will begin to add filesystem callbacks that 371 are rcu-walk aware, shown below. Filesystems should take advantage of this 372 where possible. 373 374 -- 375 [mandatory] 376 d_revalidate is a callback that is made on every path element (if 377 the filesystem provides it), which requires dropping out of rcu-walk mode. This 378 may now be called in rcu-walk mode (nd->flags & LOOKUP_RCU). -ECHILD should be 379 returned if the filesystem cannot handle rcu-walk. See 380 Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt for more details. 381 382 permission and check_acl are inode permission checks that are called 383 on many or all directory inodes on the way down a path walk (to check for 384 exec permission). These must now be rcu-walk aware (flags & IPERM_FLAG_RCU). 385 See Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt for more details. 386 387 -- 388 [mandatory] 389 In ->fallocate() you must check the mode option passed in. If your 390 filesystem does not support hole punching (deallocating space in the middle of a 391 file) you must return -EOPNOTSUPP if FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE is set in mode. 392 Currently you can only have FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set, 393 so the i_size should not change when hole punching, even when puching the end of 394 a file off. 395 396 -- 397 [mandatory] 398 ->get_sb() is gone. Switch to use of ->mount(). Typically it's just 399 a matter of switching from calling get_sb_... to mount_... and changing the 400 function type. If you were doing it manually, just switch from setting ->mnt_root 401 to some pointer to returning that pointer. On errors return ERR_PTR(...). 402 403 -- 404 [mandatory] 405 ->permission() and generic_permission()have lost flags 406 argument; instead of passing IPERM_FLAG_RCU we add MAY_NOT_BLOCK into mask. 407 generic_permission() has also lost the check_acl argument; ACL checking 408 has been taken to VFS and filesystems need to provide a non-NULL ->i_op->get_acl 409 to read an ACL from disk. 410 411 -- 412 [mandatory] 413 If you implement your own ->llseek() you must handle SEEK_HOLE and 414 SEEK_DATA. You can hanle this by returning -EINVAL, but it would be nicer to 415 support it in some way. The generic handler assumes that the entire file is 416 data and there is a virtual hole at the end of the file. So if the provided 417 offset is less than i_size and SEEK_DATA is specified, return the same offset. 418 If the above is true for the offset and you are given SEEK_HOLE, return the end 419 of the file. If the offset is i_size or greater return -ENXIO in either case. 420 421 [mandatory] 422 If you have your own ->fsync() you must make sure to call 423 filemap_write_and_wait_range() so that all dirty pages are synced out properly. 424 You must also keep in mind that ->fsync() is not called with i_mutex held 425 anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and 426 release it yourself. 427 428 -- 429 [mandatory] 430 d_alloc_root() is gone, along with a lot of bugs caused by code 431 misusing it. Replacement: d_make_root(inode). The difference is, 432 d_make_root() drops the reference to inode if dentry allocation fails. 433 434 -- 435 [mandatory] 436 The witch is dead! Well, 2/3 of it, anyway. ->d_revalidate() and 437 ->lookup() do *not* take struct nameidata anymore; just the flags. 438 -- 439 [mandatory] 440 ->create() doesn't take struct nameidata *; unlike the previous 441 two, it gets "is it an O_EXCL or equivalent?" boolean argument. Note that 442 local filesystems can ignore tha argument - they are guaranteed that the 443 object doesn't exist. It's remote/distributed ones that might care... 444 -- 445 [mandatory] 446 FS_REVAL_DOT is gone; if you used to have it, add ->d_weak_revalidate() 447 in your dentry operations instead. 448 -- 449 [mandatory] 450 vfs_readdir() is gone; switch to iterate_dir() instead 451 -- 452 [mandatory] 453 ->readdir() is gone now; switch to ->iterate() 454 [mandatory] 455 vfs_follow_link has been removed. Filesystems must use nd_set_link 456 from ->follow_link for normal symlinks, or nd_jump_link for magic 457 /proc/<pid> style links. 458 -- 459 [mandatory] 460 iget5_locked()/ilookup5()/ilookup5_nowait() test() callback used to be 461 called with both ->i_lock and inode_hash_lock held; the former is *not* 462 taken anymore, so verify that your callbacks do not rely on it (none 463 of the in-tree instances did). inode_hash_lock is still held, 464 of course, so they are still serialized wrt removal from inode hash, 465 as well as wrt set() callback of iget5_locked(). 466 -- 467 [mandatory] 468 d_materialise_unique() is gone; d_splice_alias() does everything you 469 need now. Remember that they have opposite orders of arguments ;-/ 470 -- 471 [mandatory] 472 f_dentry is gone; use f_path.dentry, or, better yet, see if you can avoid 473 it entirely.

User Experience Specialist in Raleigh, NC @atlanticbt. Red Sox fan. Music snob. Gadget lover. Foodie. Cape Codder by heart.
Andrew hat die Verifizierung der Online-Identität und Offline-Identifikation abgeschlossen.
Great guest!
Andrew and his friends were the perfect guests: communicative, clean, and fun to meet! I highly recommend hosting them.
Andrew was amazing! His place is super awesome! Couch, aerobed, video games! Plus his food that he had was SUPER YUMMY! He knows all the cool spots and is just a down guy himself. He's open to all walks of life, gay/straight, black or white. Meeting Andrew was a great part of the trip! I've stayed with him twice now and I can't wait to go back! Raleigh is lucky to have a guy like Andrew in their fair city. Thanks Andrew!!! Keep rockin!!
If you're in Raleigh for the night I can't think of any other place you'd actually WANT to stay other than Andrew's cozy downtown apartment. Not only does Andrew have a might comfy aerobed but the couch is probably the comfiest in Raleigh (that's a true fact I just made up). Andrew's a stand up dude (no really, standing is his speciality) and you're guaranteed to have a good night's sleep and a few laughs whilst hanging in his downtown abode.

SourceHosting.net supports hosted Bugzilla bug tracking databases as a standalong package or as an add-on to its Subversion and CVS repository hosting services. If you are interested in using Bugzilla to track bugs and feature requests in your products, this guide is designed to get you up and running quickly, so you can immediately use Bugzilla in your software development process.
Step 1 - Logging In
The first thing you need to do with Bugzilla is log into it. Normally, Bugzilla has its own concept of user accounts, but SourceHosting.net has enhanced the client area of its Web site so that all user account maintenance is done there. What that means is that when you create, edit or delete a repository user, the same change will take place in the Bugzilla account database.
Assuming you already have a SourceHosting.net user account defined by your account administrator, you will log into the client area with your account username and password. Once you are logged in, if Bugzilla has been enabled on your account, you will see a link labeled "Bugzilla" listed under the heading "Repository Features". Clicking this link will cause a username/password prompt to appear. Enter your repository username and password again, and you should see the Bugzilla main window. For convenience in Internet Explorer, you can select the "Remember my password" checkbox in the popup box so you don't have to enter your username and password every time you click the Bugzilla link.
The Bugzilla main window will also present a login link labeled "Log in to an existing account". Click that link and then enter your email address as your username and your repository password on the following page. You will now be completely logged into Bugzilla. For convenience, do not click the "Log out" link in the Bugzilla window, and you will not have to log into the application every time you visit it.
Step 2 - Setting up products
If you are a repository administrator for your company, you will also be a Bugzilla administrator. The first thing the Bugzilla administrator should do is set up some information in the application that is specific to their company. To set up the proper product information in Bugzilla, click the "Products" link at the bottom of the main page.
You will be taken to the product edit page. If there is a product named "TestProduct" already defined, click the "Delete" link on the right side of the page. Confirm the deletion and then click the "edit" link to begin creating new products that are specific to your company. Click the "Add" link, and you will be taken to a page where you can enter information about your company's product. You can enter multiple products if you wish to file bug reports against each one.
Once you add the new product, you can then add components to the product. Components are a good way to partition different systems within a product so you can report bugs against them individually. Components might be things like "GUI", or "Database", or "Report Generator".
When you add a new component, you need to supply a name, description and an owner. The owner should be an email address of one of the existing repository users. If the email address is unknown to Bugzilla, you will be prompted to enter a known address before proceeding.
Step 3 - Reporting bugs
Once your products and components are set up, you can start entering bugs into Bugzilla. From the main Bugzilla page, click the "Enter a new bug report" link. Next, you will select the product that you wish to file the bug against. Once you have done that, you will enter the bug report, including the bug priority, platform where it occurred, the affected component and any information relevent to reproducing the bug. Once you are finished, press the "Commit" button to save the bug report to the database.
Bugzilla has a built-in email notification system, so when you enter a bug report, the component owner will receive the report and a link to it so they can investigate the problem.
Step 4 - Querying bugs
Bugzilla has a powerful querying mechanism for showing what bugs are currently entered into the system. From the main page, click the "Query existing bug reports" link and you will see a form with several different search criteria. You can easily select which products and components you are interested in, limit the results by priority, platform and/or several other constraints and finally save the criteria into a reusable query. If you check off the "and put it in my page footer" checkbox when you save the query constraints, you will have a link at the bottom of your page that will run your canned search each time you click it.

I am a Hong Kong university student studying in Journalism and Communication. I speaks English well and willing to meet new friends from different nations! I like to take adventures and broaden my horizon. Nice to meet you all!
Garrick has completed online and offline ID verification.
I would not recommend those guest to no one because simply their attitude, behavior was simply strange. I mean, maybe this happend only with me but l've seen a lot of guest and people and Garrick and his partner were the most unpleasant guest so far l ever met. l always try to take good care of my customers (at least l try), but with people like that there is nothing much to do since they are unfriendly. In conclusion, their stay in my property ruined my experience with them.
Please be honest, if you are really a helpful host with good care, you won't ignore your guest for three days, just a simple request to check whether something has been left in your room. What's more, you asked us to take a look about your reviews, what we have seen is many reviews about you, not only in airbnb but other hostel websites, saying you are hard to find and communicate. Well, our experience proved that.
It was my fault... I was ill and so we had to communicate via mail. Kind guests , they left everything clean and in perfect order. High recommended.
Garrick and his 2 friends have stayed in my flat for few nights. They are the guests everybody would wish to host! Very easy-going, nice to talk to,very polite en exceptionally clean Thank you and wish you to enjoy airbnb experience!
I didnt have the chance to meet Garrick and his friends, but they left the apartment in great conditions! May be next time!
Garrick and his friend have been wonderful guests, nice, clean and tidy. They left the apartment in a good state. I recommend them.

my great great grandparents
Nancy Jane Hancock
Nancy Jane Hancock was a sister of my great-grandmother Rhoda Margaret Hancock. They were daughters of William Hancock and Mary Roberts. Mary Roberts' father was Nathan Roberts, son of Cornelius Roberts.
Hi Mackie,
I am the great-great-grand daughter of Harden and Nancy Jane Bundrant. Would love to have contact with another branch of the family tree! My great grandfather was Harden Peter Nathan Bundrant, grand father was John Perry Bundrant and Father Donald Bundrant. I am also the cousin of Linda Freeman ( that left a message to you as well). Her mother and my father are brother and sister.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Best Regards, Dawnell
Bundrant Family history
Could you please contact me. My E-mail is email@example.com or phone number is 307-347-3711.
I am Betty Ruth Bundrant's daughter.
Thank you for this website. I have been searching for my roots for some time. I am the ggrandaughter of Nancy Jane Bundrant and the gggrandaughter of Hardin Alexander Bundrant. I am interested in correspondence with any family members.
I am also interested in finding photos if anyone has more.
Please contact me at email@example.com
My husband, Johnny Willess, is the grandson of Martha Mihallie Bundrant and Robert Emery Willess. Hallie was the daughter of Harden Alexander Bundrant and Nancy Jane Hancock. I also have a copy of this picture, as well as quite a bit of early Bundrant and Hancock information.
Nancy Jane Hancock Relations
I notice around the web that y'all have some troubles connecting the ancestors of Nancy Jane Hancock Bundrant. Her parents were, of course, William Hancock and Mary Roberts. What no one seems to have is information on William Hancock b Feb 15 1801 in NC d Sept 2 1876. I believe his parents were James Hancock b Nov 29 1774, d July 20 1845 and Mary Frizzle (of John Frizzle and Mary Roundtree). James Hancock is an eigth generation or so American with a tracable lineage. I have not verified this.
Also of interest is the family connection with Amon G. Carter. Nancy Jane Hancock Bundrant was the Great Aunt of Giles Amon Carter or Amon G. Carter as he is known. Nancy's sister Mary Ann Hancock married William M Carter and their son, William Henry Carter was the father of Amon G. Carter, one of the most influential Americans of his era.
Nancy Jane
My grandmother was Julia Jane Bundrant, the eldest of daughter of Hardin Peter Nathan Bundrant. Her grandmother was Nancy Jane Hancock Bundrant. Thanks for the info. I am beginning to look for more info on my many great, great great etc. ancestors. I always admire them for surviving great hardships and journeys so we are here now. They were good Christian people.

I think the outdoor track was built in the early 80's but it may have been very late 70's. They probably put in the tennis courts at the same time out at the SW Athletic complex. I don't remember when the softball field was built.

The Lied Rec Center (indoor track) was constructed I believe in the 1980's. That's about it.
