I'm speaking form experiance, LILO couldn't convince windows 98 to boot on my
laptop when I had 2 primary linux partitions after it. (I countered by
deleting windows, haven't missed it.)
Now with just the 2 linux partitions the 1st one on the hard drive is
/dev/hda3 and the 2nd (swap) is /dev/hda2. This strikes me as odd.....

Haas' application this year has relatively minor changes. It replaced last year's #1, which was a somewhat artsy question about a song that expresses who you are, with a straightforward question about a transformational experience.
The other significant change is that Haas provides word length guidelines that provide range, for instance 400-500 word maximum, instead of one number, for example 500 words max.
Supplemental Information:
1. If you have not provided a letter of recommendation from your current supervisor, please explain. If not applicable, enter N/A.
Keep it short and sweet. This is primarily for those of you who don't want to tell your boss yet that you plan to leave.
2. List in order of importance all community and professional organizations and extracurricular activities in which you have been involved during or after university studies. Include the following information for each organization or activity using the format below:
• Name of organization or activity
• Nature of organization or activity
• Size of organization
• Dates of involvement
• Offices held
• Average number of hours spent per month
Whenever possible, quantify your impact or contribution. Please note that Haas is not interested in high school grades or activities. Note also that they want the list not in chronological order, but in order of importance — however you define "importance."
3. List full-time and part-time jobs held during undergraduate or graduate studies, indicating the employer, job title, employment dates, location, and the number of hours worked per week for each position held prior to the completion of your degree.
Again, quantify as much as possible your responsibilities and impact. Focus on achievements. Avoid job descriptions that are obvious from your job title.
4. Please explain all gaps in your employment since earning your university degree.
Provide the circumstances, but as always, be succinct. If your position was eliminated during a restructuring and it took you three months to find a job, say so. No harm, no foul. If the layoff was much longer, also indicate how you used your time, other than job-searching. Learning new skills or serving your community, if true, would be great to mention here.
5. If you have ever been subject to academic discipline, placed on probation, suspended, or required to withdraw from any college or university, please explain. If not, please enter N/A. (An affirmative response to this question does not automatically disqualify you from admission.)
Please, please, please don't "forget" to answer this question if it applies to you. It's far worse to omit it than to answer it.
At Berkeley-Haas, our distinctive culture is defined by four key principles —Question the Status Quo; Confidence Without Attitude; Students Always; and Beyond yourself. We seek candidates from a broad range of cultures, backgrounds, and industries who demonstrate a strong cultural fit with our program and defining principles. Please use the following essays as an opportunity to reflect on and share with us the values, experiences, and accomplishments that have helped shape who you are. (Learn more about Berkeley-Haas' Defining Principles).
As you are answering the following four questions really think about Haas' defining principles and when possible tie your answer and experiences to those principles. As I frequently do, I want to warn you against simply repeating the principles or stuffing them into your essays. That's a waste of time and space. Use your essays to reveal that you share those values and have those qualities.
1. Describe an experience that has fundamentally changed the way you see the world. How did this transform you? (400 – 500 word maximum)
This is a new and very different questions form the one that occupied this slot last year.
The question is fairly straightforward and clear. Plus it leaves you room to start with the experience. Paint a picture for the reader of the scene that had such tremendous impact, or tell the story of that experience. How has your life changes as a result? How did your perspective change? What do you do differently? While discussing perspective or outlook is fine, don't leave your essay with theory alone. Transformation isn't merely theoretical; it has to influence practice.
2. What is your most significant professional accomplishment? (200 – 300 word maximum)
What are you most proud of? When did you make a real contribution and go "beyond yourself"? Tell the story of your accomplishment, but also reflect on it. Why do you consider it the "most significant"? Was it the impact you had on others, or the impact the experience had on you, or what the experience says about you?
For a brief article on accomplishments, please see "What is an Accomplishment?"
3. What is your desired post-MBA role and at what company or organization? In your response, please specifically address sub-questions a., b., and c. (500 – 600 word maximum for 3a, 3b, and 3c combined)
a. How is your background compelling to this company?
b. What is something you would do better for this company than any other employee?
c. Why is an MBA necessary and how will Haas specifically help you succeed at this company?
This is a probing question. Generalities won't do here.
It's unusual that Haas is asking you to be so specific as to name a company you would like to work for. They're not asking for a type of company or industry. Regardless, do the homework necessary so that you can specify a company as well as the roll you would like to play in that organization.
First, what role would you like to have after you earn your MBA and what would be your first choice in terms of employer. Now do your homework about the company. Read its employment site. If you can, speak to current employees. If you can't interact with real live people, go on Vault or LinkedIn and network with current employees who are alumni of your college or somehow connected to you in some other way. What is a typical career path at this company? What does the organization seek in people it hires for your desired role? Why would this company want to hire you given your background and education? Why would you be (after you get your Haas MBA) a compelling candidate?
And finally, how will Haas help you snag your dream position at your dream company. What gaps will your MBA fill? What skills will it hone?
Think about a common thread between what you've done, your Haas MBA, and that dream position. That core idea can really unify your essay.
Optional Essays:
1. (Optional) Please feel free to provide a statement concerning any information you would like to add to your application that you haven't addressed elsewhere. (500 word maximum)
A bonus! If there is an element in your background, be it personal, academic or professional, that you have not revealed elsewhere and would like the adcom to know about, this is the spot. Give them another reason to admit you, but don't submit the grand summary, appeal, or closing statement. Keep it succinct and focused. Obviously, you could use this essay to explain a weakness, but that would leave your application ending on a weakness, which is less than optimal. Try to fit the explanation in somewhere else in the app or if necessary tuck the weakness into this essay, but have the main focus of this essay be something positive. For example: Your pride in working your way through undergrad, the challenges, and the ultimate satisfaction of learning to manage your time. An essay with this core idea explains a less than stellar GPA; it won't justify a 2.0.
2. (Optional) If not clearly evident, please discuss ways in which you have demonstrated strong quantitative abilities, or plan to strengthen quantitative abilities. You do not need to list courses that appear on your transcript. (250 word maximum)
If you are a liberal arts graduate or the proverbial poet applying to business school or if you simply don't have a lot of math on your transcript or on your resume, you need to respond to this question. You could show that your work may be more quantitative than initially assumed or you could discuss quantitative courses you are taking now that do not yet appear on your transcript.

Tom really started supporting England in the wave of euphoria after the Gatting tour of 1986/7 although he remembers Gower in 85.
He bought Botham's Ashes on new fangled video tape, discovered 81 in retrospect and green shoots of obsession popped up. But he was beginning to wonder whether England could ever actually win a match again and then came Gooch and his 333 and 123, Kapil Dev's four consecutive Eddie Hemmings' sixes to save the follow on, the boy Tendulkar's running catch and the unbridled joy at Fraser's sweaty control of line and length - all in the same bloody match! (Ed: wasn't the running catch in a different test?) His life was decided.
Despite no athletic ability whatsoever, he rose to the heights of captaining his 3rd XI at school and then on to opening the bowling for the 3rd XI of the Old Alleynians. This was mainly achieved by chucking down 543,781 balls in the nets through puberty.
Only 19 of those balls swung. His ambition is to eventually have a garden big enough to house a full size net including room for his, some might say unnecessary 14 pace run-up.

Folkungagatan 60,
No one has favorited this theater yet
A former art house in Stockholm named after the Ingmar Bergman film of the same name. ("Smultronstallet" means "Wild Strawberies".)
Additional information by those in the know would be appreciated.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
This photo shows Ingmar Bergman (right) with other officials at the opening of the Smultronstället Cinema. I'm guessing it was in the late 60s or early 70s. The film "Hets" on the poster was a 1944 film that was directed by Alf Sjöberg and written by Bergman. It played the U.S. as "Torment."
Originally opened as the Ugglan in 1916 it was a live theatre and cabaret space. In 1921 it became a cinema and from 6th August 1934 it had been modernised and re-named Lejonungen.
It became a repertory cinema in 1963 and was re-named Smultronstallet but this was short lived and it closed on 31st July 1966.
I've noted in some old copies of International Film Guide that there were at least three other Smultronstället cinemas, run by Svensk Filmindustri in Göteborg, Vasteras, and Malmo.

Luanda — The secretary of State for Ex-combatants and Veterans of the Motherland, Clemente Cunjuca, said Tuesday in Luanda the society must more and more recognise the deeds of the fellow-countrymen who gave their lives for the independence of Angola.
Speaking at a lecture on the Ex-Combatants and Veterans of the Motherland Day, the secretary spoke of the need for the new generation to research more into the process that led to the independence of the country.
He also spoke of the need for more attention to the ex-combatants, as they did their best for the country to become free from the colonial oppression.
Clemente Cunjuca recalled that for years the country went through a process of liberation struggle, hence the need for the society to know the process that involved many fellow-countrymen.

John GALLUP - b. about 1590 in Bridport, Dorset, England; d. Jan. 11, 1649/50, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. John's parentage has not been determined. He was admitted to the Boston church on Jan. 5, 1633/4, and became freeman Apr. 1, 1634 as third in a group of six Dorchester men, but there is no evidence he lived there. His will, dated Dec. 20, 1649 and proved Feb. 9, 1649/50, and the inventory taken Feb. 26, 1649/50 includes properties indicating his occupation of fisherman and mariner. His real estate included "The Island, Called by ye name of Gallupe's Island, Containeinge about 16 acres." Capt. GALLOP piloted arriving ships into Boston Harbor, and in the coastal trade between CT and ME. Married Jan. 19, 1617/8, St. Mary's Church, Bridport, Dorset, England.
Christobel BRUSHETT - b. 1592, Dorset, England; d. Sep. 27, 1655; Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. She did not arrive in America with her husband, possibly deciding to delay the journey due to either the young age or soon arrival of her son John, the Younger. It may have taken the encouragement of Rev. John WHITE to have her make the crossing with her four surviving children. Gov. John WINTHROP had written to Rev. WHITE on Jul. 4, 1632: "I have much difficulty to keep John Galloppe here by reason his wife will not come. I marvel at the woman's weakness that she will live miserably with her children there, when she might live comfortably here with her husband. I pray persuade and further her coming by all means: if she will come let her have the remainder of his wages, if not, let it be bestowed to bring over his children, for so he desires: it would be above £40 loss to him to come for her." Christobel was admitted to the Boston Church Jun. 22, 1634. Her will, dated Jul. 24, 1655 and proved Oct. 31, 1655, names her three sons and daughter Joane Joy. The name of her father is uncertain, since it has been given as both Edmund and John.
Children of John and Christobel Gallup
1. Joan - bap. Sep. 20, 1618, Bridport, Dorset, England; d. Mar. 20, 1690/1, Hingham, Plymouth Co., MA. She was married in Mar. 1636/7 in Dorset, England to Thomas JOY (b. 1611; d. Oct. 21, 1678, Hingham, Plymouth Co., MA). Thomas was a carpenter and millwright. Children of Joan and Thomas JOY: Samuel married Ann PITTS (daughter of Edmond and Ann PITTS); John married Mercy; Thomas; Ens. Joseph married Margaret PRINCE; Ephraim married Susanna SPENCER; Benjamin; Elizabeth married Nathaniel BEAL; Ruth married first John CURTIS, and second John LOW; and Sarah married Hicks DUNNING.
2. John - bap. Jan. 25, 1620/1, Bridport, Dorset, England; d. Dec. 19, 1675, Narragansett Swamp Fight, RI.
3. William - bap. Aug. 4, 1622, Bridport, Dorset, England; died young.
4. Francis - bap. Jul. 27, 1625, Bridport, Dorset, England; bur. there Nov. 18, 1625.
5. Samuel - b. about 1627; bap. Aug. 16, 1629, Bridport, Dorset, England; d. 1667; Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. He was married on Jan. 20, 1650/1 in Boston, Suffolk Co., MA to Mary PHILLIPS. Children of Samuel and Mary GALLUP: Mary; Hannah; Samuel; Mehitable; William; and Abigail.
6. Nathaniel - b. about 1629; bap. Aug. 16, 1629, Bridport, Dorset, England; d. 1669. He was married on Jun. 11, 1652 in Boston, Suffolk Co., MA to Margaret EVELETH (d. Aug. 11, 1698, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA), daughter of Sylvester EVELETH. Children of Nathaniel and Margeret GALLUP: Susannah married John BUTLER; Nathaniel; Joseph married first Hannah, and second Elizabeth DWIGHT; Benjamin married Hannah SHARP; Mary.
7. John - bap. Jul. 11, 1630, Bridport, Dorset, England; d. young.
John Gallop came to Boston in 1630. He lived a fascinating life, and holds an important place in American history. This account is taken from the Gallup Family Genealogy book (reprinted in 1987), and I thought I would share this with you.
Descendants of John Gallop include President Bush, Senator Kerry, George Gallup (founder of the Gallup Poll), Emily Dickinson, and over twenty veterans of the Revolutionary War. John Gallop and Coralynn Flick are separated by thirteen generations.

-------- Great blog on Captain John Gallop with good sources:
John Gallop, son of John and Mary (Crabbe) Gollop, b. Ca. 1590 England (of Mosterne); d. Jan 11 1650 Boston, Mass.; m. Jan 19 1617 St. Mary's, Bridport, Dorsetshire, England to Christobel Brushett who d. Sep 27 1655 Boston, Mass.
John Gallop set sail for Boston on Mar 20 1630 on the Mary and John, captained by Thomas Chubb. The reason for his departure is speculation; conceivably he may have wished to explore the possibilities of settling in New England; perhaps he may have desired to consider the prospects of, engaging in transporting immigrants to the New World.
"Seventy-one days later, on May 30 1630, Capt. Chubb nosed the Mary and John into the cove behind Nantasket Beach and dropped anchor off where the village of Hull stands; in violation of his contract to land his 140 passengers on the bank of the Charles River, he discharged them on the sand dunes of Nantasket. The stranded passengers hired a boat to carry them to Watertown and subsequently the party removed to unoccupied land in what is now Dorchester, Mass." (Captain J. Gallup)
John Gallop did not remain in Dorchester long. He removed to Boston and "was one of the earliest grantees of land at the northerly part of the town, where he had a wharf-right and house." (James H. Stark) The locality was known as Gallop's Point and was the southeast part of the peninsular. He had acquired a ship; was engaged in coastal trade and, on occasion, served as pilot for ships entering Boston harbor.
His wife and children had not accompanied him on his trip to the New World. Apparently Christobel hesitated to undertake a long and uncertain sea voyage to an undisclosed country, in spite of urgent encouragement by her husband. "John Gallop was so concerned that he contemplated returning to England. He had become an important man in the colony and this disturbed Governor Winthrop who wrote to the great Puritan leader, the Rev. John White in Dorchester:'
'I have much difficultye to keep John Gallop here by reason of his wife will not come. I marvayle at the woman's weaknesse. I pray pursuade her and further her coming by all means. If she will come, let her have the remainder of his wages; if not, let it be bestowed to bring over his children, if so he desires. It would be about £40 losse to him to come for her. Your assured in the Lord's worke, J. Winthrop, Massachusetts, Jul 4 1632'" (Withrop Papers)
The Rev. Mr. White evidently persuaded Mrs. Gallop and successsfully furthered her coming. She and the children arrived on Sep 4 1633 on the Griffin, after an eight weeks'
crossing; her husband piloted the ship into Boston Harbor thru a new channel he had discovered, the channel running by Lovell's Island, a quarter of a mile east of his Gallop's Island.
He was made a freeman in April 1634. He was admitted to First Church, Boston Jan 6 1634; his wife was admitted Jun 22 1634.
John Gallop was a pioneer in the vitally important coastal trade between Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. "Within a year after he moved to Boston, there was great concern in the Providence Plantation when his shallop and its cargo of foodstuffs was overdue, and Roger Williams wrote thankfully to his friend Governor Winthrop', 'God be praised, Capt. Gallop hath arrived.'"
On Dec 6 1632, Gallop and his vessel were engaged by the Massachusetts Magistrates for the first naval task force sent out by any New England colony. The French had fortified a couple of outposts and from these footholds, they raided Penobscot, carrying off 300 weight of beaver skins belonging to the Plymouth colony, and they also captured and robbed an English sea captain, Dixy Bull. To add to the troubles, Bull, having been stripped of his cargo, turned pirate and was preying upon Massachusetts fishing and shipping. Capt. Gallop's ship, manned with 20 volunteers under command of his friend, John Mason, was dispatched to police these depredations. Head winds and a blizzard forced Capt. Gallop to take refuge in Cape Ann Harbor; here he was storm-bound two weeks, returning to Boston on Jan 2. When Spring came, he sailed forth again, but he failed to find his quarry, for Bull had sailed south to Virginia. The General Court of Massachusetts voted £10 each to Gallop and Mason "to pay for any expenditures."
In 1635, John Gallop was engaged to transport the Cogswell family from Maine. John Cogswell had embarked from Bristol, England, on May 23 1635; the passage was long and disastrous; those on board were washed ashore from the broken decks of their wrecked ship Angel Gabriel, at Pemaquid (now Bristol, Maine). John Cogswell and his family were spared their lives. Fortunately, they had salvaged a large tent which was pitched upon the beach and sheltered them until help arrived. At his first opportunity John Cogswell took passage for Boston, where he engaged Capt. Gallop, who commanded a small bark, to sail to Pemaquid and transport the Cogswell family to Ipswich, Mass. Bay Colony. (Hollbrook and Allied Families)
In the spring of 1636, John Gallop, bent on a spring trading cruise, cast off from his wharf in Boston Harbor in his sloop with his son William and a hired man as crew.
Having rounded Cape Cod he laid course by dead reckoning for Saybrook Point.
Off Block Island they sighted a small ship anchored in a broad cove close inshore. She appeared to be deserted; there was no watch on deck. Her rigging was loose and her gaff swung wildly to and fro as she rocked in the choppy sea. Gallop hove to and on approaching recognized a pinnace of John Oldham, a coastwise trader; on deck there was a score of Indians lying asleep. He hailed and a couple of Indians jumped into a heavily laden canoe lashed alongside and paddled rapidly for the shore. There was great confusion aboard the pinnace, but the natives succeeded in slipping the cable and standing off before the wind headed for Narragansett Bay.
Convinced that Oldham was in trouble, Gallop hauled up alongside and was greeted with a shower of spears and arrows and a volley from several muskets. His sons opened fire with two great duck guns mounted on swivels – no mean armament – and the savages took refuge below deck. The odds were too great to risk boarding so Gallop put up his helm and beat to windward, then, coming about, bore down on the pinnace before the wind. The 20-ton sloop rammed the smaller vessel with such force that she heeled over on her beam end and water poured down the hatchway. Panic-stricken, the Indians scrambled on deck; several leaped overboard and were drowned; the others hid in the hold. Gallop withdrew to repeat his ramming maneuver.
He had the sudden inspiration to make the blow more devastating by lashing his anchor to the bow, its sharp flukes pointing outward, thus improvising an iron-clad ram two centuries before naval architects adopted this idea. The pinnace was now virtually adrift, falling off to leeward, and when the sloop again crashed into her windward quarter the flukes of the anchor-ram penetrated the hull. The two ships were clamped fast together.
The Gallop boys double-loaded the duck guns, but their shots into the hold had little effect, and their father loosened his fasts and hauled up to windward a third time. Several more Indians jumped overboard, but one, obviously a sachem, stood up on the deck making signs of surrender. Capt. John drew up alongside; took the prisoner aboard and bound him hand and foot. Another came on deck, but fearing to keep two such wily savages, however securely shackled, together in the tiny cabin, he was thrown overboard. Two of the redmen still lurked in the hold, but Gallop and his sons boarded the pinnace, and leaving one of the boys on guard with a pistol at the hatchway, they inspected the shambles.
In the cabin they found John Oldham's head, the skull crushed, hacked from the body which lay in a corner, stripped naked, slashed with wounds, disgracefully mutilated. "God give you peace, Brother Oldham," prayed Capt. John as they lowered the corpse into the ocean.
They collected whatever of the murderers' plunder that seemed worth salvaging; stripped the pinnace of her sails and rigging; took her in tow and laid a course towards Fisher's Island. But the wind was rising rapidly. It was soon evident that to save themselves the unwieldy tow must be cut loose. She drifted away towards Narragansett Bay and probably fetched up on the rocks off Point Judith.
In 1636 his name first appears in the town records; "It is ordered that John Gallop shall remove his payles at his yarde ende within 14 days, and to rainge them even with the corner of his house, for the preserving of the way upon the Sea Bancke."
In Jun 1637, several Massachusetts ships arrived at Saybrook, Conn. with reinforcements to supplement land operations against an uprising of the Pequot Indians in the area. It was mutually agreed "that the Bay men should persue the fleeing Pequots in a joint land and water operation. Gallop may have been the skipper of one of the ships in the little flotilla that brought the Massachusetts troops. We know that his was one of the supply ships that accompanied the land expedition and he was on hand in Fairfield harbor, for Bradford wrote in his History: 'Those that were wounded were fetched off soon by John Gallop who came with his shalop in a happie hour to bring them vituals and carrie their wounded men to ye pinass where our cheefe surgeon was with Mr. Wilson, being about 8 leagues off.' "
John Gallop shows on the 1640 Boston plan on the southeast side of Middle St., near Gallop's Wharf, as shown on Bonner's map of 1722 and Burgiss' map of 1729. He is shown on the 1645 Boston plan at the same location, and in addition, the plan indicates Gallop's Point northwest of the wharf. The Bonner map (1722) shows Gallop's Wharf at the foot of Wood Lane and Gallop's Alley between Middle and Fish Streets. The Burgiss map (1729) shows Gallop's Wharf and island in Boston harbor, as does the DesBarres map of Boston, 1775. (Esther G. Snyder)
In his will, dated Oct 10 1649, his widow "is the sole executrix and to her is left all 'goods and lands' with three exceptions. To son, John, who might be expected to be the chief beneficiary, he left 'the new shallop' and to daughter, Joan, 'my haeffer.' The two younger sons 'shall imploy the bark,' the first year all for their mother's benefit and thereafter two-thirds for them and one-third for her. Upon her death, they will inherit everything 'if they carry themselves as obedient children,' otherwise 'she shall have liberty to dispose of all . . . as she shall thinke good.'
The inventory of his estate, dated Dec 26 1649 lists "Owne house and ground lying in Boston, that is to say ye flattes for liberty of wharfage granted by ye towne; The Island called by ye name of Gallop's Island, containing about 16 acres; Foure acres lyinge at Long Island; owne vessel' or pinnis, called by name of ye Buck. Whole am't of inventory £311 l0s. 8d."

Who will save our 'lost generation'?
Statistics regarding the condition of children in poverty, beset by crime and labeled the "lost generation," are appalling. Responsible adults cannot let this continue.
Who will save our 'lost generation'?
Statistics regarding the condition of children in poverty, beset by crime and labeled the "lost generation," are appalling. Responsible adults cannot let this continue.
I suggest the president call a meeting of leaders of the entertainment industries and demand they become more responsible. We are being fed a diet of violence, corruption and sex. Young people think this is real life and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Sure, there's lots of money to be made in the short run. But in the long run we are already seeing a "lost generation" that will perpetuate more lost generations.
Who said it would be easy to turn things around? Nothing worth having is ever easy.

Clean burning
The ongoing concern about incineration is fueled by the question "How safe is safe?"
The regulatory agencies keep telling us we are OK for now, but the next round of regulations on incineration are already on the drawing board.
The alternative is autoclaving -- steam sterilization. The technology has been an approved method of processing medical waste in Maryland for years. There is no known adverse impact on the environment using this method.
Let's not gamble on our air. Let's reduce burning and still get the job done -- safely.
Mary Russell
The ongoing war
The looming discharge of military personnel from the armed forces because of the dearth of wars to fight overlooks one war in which we are engaged, a war which is accelerating and which we are losing -- the war against drugs and violent crime. This is a war which the military forces are suitably competent to wage successfully.
If the armed forces are given the mission of making this country drug-free, they will do so. They can prevent drugs from entering this country. They can prevent drugs from being produced and marketed in this country. They have the ability to wipe out production of drugs anywhere in the world. We have the right to prevent any country from producing drugs that are destined for us.
The armed forces have the capability, capacity and ability to mount patrols in areas where violent crimes proliferate. They have intelligence-gathering abilities that would be useful and effective in carrying out those missions. The very fact that they were assigned this mission would make an impact.
The armed forces have experience in handling prisoners of war, and could be effective in lowering the burden on the civilian penal system and probably do a better job.
Eugene Hettleman
Sorry state
I watched the Academy Awards the other night, like millions of others. I find it perfectly expressive of the whole sorry state of human civilization that Kathy Bates (Best Actress, 1991, "Misery"), who portrayed a woman who chopped off a man's leg, handed the Oscar to a man, Anthony Hopkins, (Best Actor, 1992, "Silence of the Lambs"), whose character said he devoured a man's liver, "with a bottle of Chianti."
I'm not sure I understand. Perhaps I should see "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" to find a clue?
Thomas Platt
Corrupt power
This year, for the first time in 29 years, I am going to be active in the presidential campaign, working to get Ross Perot on the ballot in November.
Why? Because the system within which both Republicans and Democrats operate is corrupting. Until it is changed, we can continue to send intelligent, decent, thoughtful people to Congress and the White House -- I believe that my representatives possess those qualities -- and they will continue to make stupid, damaging laws.
The heart of the corruption is the tax system. All taxes are confiscations by the government of its citizens' income. We have given power to Congress to appropriate our income because we accept that the government needs revenues to support socially beneficial activities best performed by the government.
The problem is that Congress not only has the power to tax income, but it has the power to decide which form of income to tax. You can be a millionaire with any amount of income and payments made to you for Medicare aren't taxed.
Worse, Congress has the power to decide what part of your income to tax based on how you spend your income. Studies show that people who own houses pick up $40 billion a year on mortgage interest deductions, $14 billion from deferred capital gains on home sales and $11.5 billion from property tax deductions.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The way to reduce the power and the corruption that flows from it is to stop the auction of tax loopholes. Treat all income, from whatever source and however spent, equally. You report your taxes on a post card, listing income from all sources multiplied by the tax rate applied to that level of income.
Not only will a monumental corrupting influence be removed by such a change, but the choice to invest or to spend would be tax neutral.

British officer Evaluation Statements info
The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from people's "206's"....
- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- Technically sound, but socially impossible.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.
- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
If we should have to fight, we should be prepared to do so from the neck up instead of from the neck down. General James H. Doolittle, USAAF

What the hail?
Submitted by Edgar on April 5, 2014 - 11:40pm
They say April showers bring May flowers, and this year April came through with an overnight thunderstorm complete with high winds and hail. The events sparked rumors of a tornado in Batesville. Meteorologist Cory Van Pelt with the National Weather Service said the area's rainfall was due to a dry line that came from West Texas. This is a common occurrence during the spring months.

NCI Investigators Ordering Animals to be housed in Division of Veterinary Resources (DVR) Facilities must use the NIH Centralized Animal Procurement System (CAPS). This is an ADB/Delpro system, which requires that you place your animal orders directly with your purchasing agent within the NCI Administrative Resource Centers. See your purchasing agent for a "Print" of the animal order screen from the CAPS system to help draft your animal order request. Present the completed request to your purchasing agent, who will enter the request into the CAPS system along with your Common Account Number (CAN). The purchasing agent will be able to help you follow the progress of the order through scheduling of delivery.
The following NIH facilities require the use of the CAPS system: Buildings 10A, 14BN, 14C, 14F, 14G, 28 and the Building 49 Animal Facility. In addition the BioCon contract facility also require the use of this system. Animals going to BioQual can be ordered without the use of this system. Any questions or concerns should be directed to the Institute Approving Official Mr. Larry Cook (telephone 301-496-1535).

Weekly Fraud Awareness and Prevention Fact - Improving Your Cyber Security: On the Web
Posting personal information to social networks such as Facebook or LinkedIn can provide another avenue for attackers to gather information on you. When using these sites, turn your security feature and privacy settings to their most strict level to prevent unauthorized people from viewing your personal information. Subsequently, you should think carefully before adding a new person to your "network."
Most social networks also have tools that will allow you to limit what content certain groupings of connections can see. With an ever increasing amount of commerce and general interaction with services transitioning to the web, it is also crucial to ensure that the websites you are using are secure. Whenever connecting to a website that collects personal information or facilitates payment or the transfer of funds, you should ensure that it is being done over an encrypted connection. Some signs that the website is secure are a web address beginning with "https" or the presence of a padlock when connected to the site.
Sending and receiving documents or information via email has become increasingly popular for its ease and speed, but you should take caution when transmitting information using this method. Try to utilize email providers that support both encrypted connections and encrypted sending/receiving of messages. Older and legacy email addresses (e.g. Hotmail) tend to be some of the least secure. Surprisingly, most email services provided by internet service providers (e.g. Comcast or Verizon) do NOT support encrypted transmission.
Even if you are taking precautions to secure your email, there is no guarantee that the person on the other end is. If they have a weak password or use an email service that does not use encrypted connection portals, any personal information that you send them is at risk, so use caution when sending sensitive information via email.
If you have any questions regarding this or previous Fraud Awareness and Prevention Facts, please contact the Comptroller Help Desk at 617-973-2468 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. To report Fraud, Waste, or Abuse contact one of the Commonwealth's Whistleblower Hotlines.

This piece out of an exercise in a creative writing class involving visual art. We each brought some form of it, be it a picture, postcard, whatever. Then we went around until we saw piece we liked and were asked to write what immediately came to mind.
I chose a photo of some large, round, blue fluorescent lights. I sat down to write and this story came to me.

My child has
Childhood should be simple, and whenever possible, free of illness and injury. Immunizations are the safest, easiest ways to protect your kids from unnecessary and sometimes fatal, childhood diseases. Check out these articles on immunization and learn why it's wise to immunize:
Where to get immunizations Vaccine facts and fiction Educational resources
Have a question? We're here to help. Please contact us if you have questions on vaccines and immunizations. You can also click here to request an information packet from our family health library.
Measles, whooping cough, and other diseases can cause serious, life threatening complications. Vaccines are your best shot at preventing them.
Vaccine, vaccination, immunization … they all go together, but they are not the same. So what's the difference? The answers are here.
Which shots does your child need to have? When do they need to have them? Use our handy immunization schedule now.
There's a whole lot of information out there about immunizations. Some is correct, some isn't. We've got the facts right here.
All Cook Children's pediatrician offices or Neighborhood Clinics offer shots. You'll also find community resources here, as well.
Learn more about immunizations, get tips on prevention, and access our Family Medical Planner to keep track of medical records.
Vaccines are constantly tested and monitored for safety. Like any medication, vaccines can cause side effects. However, a decision not to immunize a child also involves risk.
When a vaccine is given, the body's immune system detects the weakened germ part and begins making antibodies that will remain in the body to defend against infectious organisms.
Real-life accounts of people who have suffered or died from vaccine-preventable diseases: personal testimonies, remembrances, and newspaper articles.

1) If A= {1, 2, 3, 3), then A is called _____
(a) finite (b) infinite (c) set (d) not a set
2) If A = {x / x>0, x _____ elements.
Is it a finite set? not sure.
second questions got options such as - (a) 5 (b) 4 (c) 6 (d) none of the above.
1 Answer | Add Yours
The set is finite because you know how many terms the set comprises. The cardinality of the set A is 4 (there are 4 elements in the set).
For the second problem, you must consider the (b) option.
I should explain to you why you need to consider (b) option. Notice that the property of the elements of the set A claims that these elements x are larger than 0. Since the set A comprises the elements {1,2,3,3}, which are all positive, hence, counting the elements of the set A yields 4.
Hence, the answer to the first question is (a) option: set A is finite and the answer to the second question is (b) option: the set A comprises 4 elements.

Q: Why 2 different dimensions given? Why do the product description,& the product information always give 2 different conflicting dimensions for every Bible on this website? Which one is a person to go by when desiring the true dimensions of the Bible itself? This "Dimensional Conflict" is quite confusing! I am sure also that your answer to this question will also help MANY more people regarding this issue! You may want to also post to everyone who visits this site as to which of the 2 sizes given are accurate when viewing a Bible.Thank You! God Bless.
The exact measurements are 6 9/16" x 4 5/8" x 5/8" inches.

Aggie Turf
Texas is a major urban state with nearly 88 percent of Texans living in 25 federally designated urban areas. Houston, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and San Antonio rank among the 12 most populated regions of the United States. Turfgrasses serve many functions in urban and suburban landscapes.
Primary roles of turfgrass are soil stabilization, water conservation, and filtration of air and water borne pollutants. Actively growing turf is highly effective in control of environmental pollution, such as the suppression of dust, glare, and noise, and in heat dissipation, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of the United States. Healthy growing turfgrasses act as biological filters and remove atmospheric pollutants. In addition to the positive benefits to the environment, turfgrasses play an important agronomic role in Texas.
The turfgrass industry contributes an estimated $6 billion annually to the economy of Texas and ranks as the number one valued agricultural crop in the state. The economic contribution from new parks, sports fields, golf courses, commercial lawns, cemeteries, airport and industrial grounds, and highway roadsides also contribute significantly to the economy of the Texas turfgrass industry. The scope of the turfgrass industry provides substantial and continuing employment opportunities for the citizens of Texas.
