Good luck. We don't let normal, hard working, self-sufficient English speaking people in anymore.
You'd be better off flying to Tihuana & sneaking across the border.

Pick a visa
There are basically NINE ways that you can get a visa to live and work in the US:
(1) Marriage (or engagement in anticipation of marriage) to a US citizen.
(2) You have skills that are in short supply in the US e.g. scientific or medical training. A degree is normally a must. Or you have superior specialist skills with at least 12 years experience. (H visas)
(3) You have an Employer who is willing to transfer you - but even the employer has to make a good case for you - so you have to be a manager unless you fall under category (2) above.(L visas)
(4) You may get a Green card in the diversity lottery (UK citizens, except N.Ireland, are not generally eligible unless you, your spouse or parents were born abroad or held a different citizenship.
(5)You own or buy business (does not get you permanent resident status i.e. no green card)You must be a national of a qualifying Treaty countries. The business must have a minimum value of around $150k (more the better) bearing in mind you will need somewhere to live and with any startup business you will need at least 2 years living money as back up. So a figure of $350k would be a nearer minimum (E-2 visas)
(6)You are an "investor" i.e. you have at least US $1m in assets to bring with you. half of that in a few areas. And your background will be investigated to the hilt. (EB-5 visas)
(7)You have a close relative (mother, father, brother, sister and no further) who is an US citizen who would sponsor you, approx time this take 2-12 years?
(8.The R1 visa is available to foreign members of religious denominations, having bona fide non-profit religious organizations in the U.S., for entering the U.S. to carry on the activities of a minister or religious worker as a profession, occupation or vocation
(9)THE UNUSUAL You are in a position to claim refugee status/political asylum. or You get a member of Congress to sponsor a private bill with legislation that applies just to you.
The S visa issued to persons who assist US law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities such as money laundering and organized crime
Recruitment agent will not take you seriously if you are not already in the US. Writing for jobs is really a waste of time; likewise US employers have no idea what foreign qualification are or mean (except Degrees) it may pay you to get your qualification translated into a US equivalent, there are Companies that do this (www.wes.org) ..
But if you are getting a visa under (2) above then you need a job offer before you can get the visa. Your Employer will be your sponsor this will cost them upward of $5k. So you can see you have to be offering something really special to get considered They may also have to prove to the Dept of labor that there is no American who can do the job if the position is to be permanent ©

Copy Haho are a band from Stonehaven in Scotland. You probably won't have heard of it, but in the Wikipedia era that's easily rectified. In short; home to the deep fried Mars Bar, the inventor of the fountain pen and Mel Gibson's adaptation of 'Hamlet'. Easy way to remember this; an anti-Semite's arteries clogged with greasy ink. Anyway, don't think about conjuring an image of four small town guys easily impressed by big lights and the idea of 24 hour supermarkets, because all but one of the band now live in actual, bonafide cities.

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire volleyball team, controls its own destiny to clinch home court advantage in the upcoming America East Championships, which welcomes the University at Albany and Binghamton University, UNH and Albany are slated to clash Friday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m., before taking on Binghamton for a Senior Day matchup Sunday, Nov. 17 at 1 p.m.
Honoring the Seniors: The UNH volleyball team will honor senior co-captains Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.) and Destiny Tolliver (Rochester, Mich.) before Sunday's 1 p.m. contest against the Bearcats. The right side hitter tandem has combined for 217 games and 763 sets played to produce UNH's third consecutive playoff appearance and 12th under head coach Jill Hirschinger.
All-Time Series: The Great Danes and Wildcats meet for the 23rd time in their history with Albany leading the all-time series 17-12. UNH has dropped four of its last five contests against Albany. New Hampshire's last victory against Albany came at Lundholm Gymnasium in three sets (30-28, 25-21, 25-19) on Oct. 16, 2011. Earlier this season, the Great Danes bested the 'Cats at University Gymnasium, snapping a four-game unbeaten streak in three sets (14-25, 16-25, 20-25). Against Binghamton, UNH leads the career series with a 12-10 advantage. The Wildcats are 3-2 in their last five matchups against the Bearcats, including a 3-1 (25-16, 22-25, 25-17, 26-24) win this season in Vestal, N.Y. on Oct. 18.
Playoff Picture: The first-place Wildcats have clinched at least a share of the America East regular season title with an opportunity to secure home court advantage UNH can secure the top seed with a win against either the Great Danes or the Bearcats. Both Albany and Binghamton remain in contention to earn a spot in the America East Championships. Furthermore, Stony Brook University and the University of Maryland, Baltimore Country are seeking playoff berths as well. The top four teams in the conference earn a place in the America East Tournament. The top seed will host the tournament either Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22 and 23 or Saturday and Sunday, November 23 and 24.
Scouting Albany: Winning three of their last four matches, the Great Danes enter the weekend with an 8-17 overall record and 8-4 in conference play. Finishing its regular season home schedule, UAlbany came out on top with a pair of conference wins against Providence College and the University of Hartford. The Great Danes downed the Friars in three (25-9, 25-23, 25-19) and topped the Hawks in four (25-20, 26-24, 22-25, 25-14).
Three Great Danes' hitters average above two kills per set. Samantha Brostrom paces UAlbany with 2.46 kps. Amanda Dolan and Amy Hunter have each compiled 2.04 kps.
Reigning America East Setter of the Week Mikala McCauley (6.99 assists per set) has directed the Great Danes to a .139 hitting percentage this season and .191 in conference matchups.
Hindering the opponent to a .139 hitting percentage in America East contests, UAlbany boasts five players averaging more than two digs per set to lead the conference. Viktoriia Strolio spearheads the defensive effort, scooping up a league-best 4.75 dps. As a team, the Great Danes accumulate 16.69 digs per set to lead America East. At the net, Dolan has racked up 0.98 blocks per set.
Scouting Binghamton: Binghamton holds an 8-18 record overall and 6-6 in America East entering the weekend. The defending America East Tournament champion Bearcats come off a pair of straight set wins over Hartford (25-19, 25-23, 25-9) and Providence (25-18, 25-22, 25-18) to keep their playoff aspirations alive.
Grace Vickers paces the Bearcats with 2.90 kills per set and a conference-best .293 hitting percentage. Allison and Kristen Hovie also contribute to the Binghamton attack to post kill averages above 2.50 kps.
Commanding the attack to a .176 hitting percentage this season, Amanda Dettman has dished out 9.22 aps.
Defensively, Binghamton has conceded a .244 hitting percentage to its opponents this season. Xiomara Ortiz paces the Bearcats in digs with 4.31 dps. Defending the net, Vickers serves as the team's block leader to tally 0.89 bps.
The State of New Hampshire: The 'Cats are riding a five-game winning streak, dating back to Oct. 16 in a three set victory (25-16, 25-6, 25-13) over the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Most recently, UNH topped UMBC (Nov. 8; 3-0; 25-16; 25-23, 25-11) and Stony Brook (Nov. 10; 3-0; 25-20, 25-17, 32-30) in straight sets as well.
Against the Retrievers, Thatcher and Tolliver notched kill tallies of 12 and 11 respectively. Tolliver registered a .500 hitting percentage while Thatcher swung a .455 clip in the match. Taylor Dunklau (Mukwonago, Wis.) quarterbacked the 'Cats attack to a .276 hitting percentage to dish out 32 assists.
In the backcourt, Madison Lightfoot (Clarkston, Mich.) paced the defense a team-high 18 digs to hinder the Retrievers' offense to a .138 hitting percentage. The co-captain duo of Thatcher and Tolliver earned three block assists each.
In the match against the Seawolves, double-digit kill efforts from Forrest (14) and Thatcher (13) lifted the 'Cats attack to its fifth-straight win in straight sets (25-20, 25-17, 32-30). Dunklau orchestrated the UNH attack to a .190 hitting percentage and tallied 40 assists. Three different UNH players recorded double-digit dig efforts to curb the Seawolves hitting percentage to .088. At the forefront of the defensive effort, Lightfoot tallied 20 digs followed by Sam Henke (Millersville, Md., 16) and Katie Sattora (Avon, N.Y., 10).
Sweeping at Home: In eight contests this season, UNH has recorded a 7-1 record at Lundholm Gymnasium. New Hampshire has topped its opponent six times (five against America East opponents) in three sets at home, translating to 18 consecutive sets. Additionally, the Wildcats hold a 10-6 record in three set matches.
League Leaders: New Hampshire is the only team in America East with a hitting average above .200, holding a .203 clip thus far. In addition, Tolliver boasts the conference best blocks per set average to compile 1.03 bps, a league best. Thatcher and Forrest rank second and third in kills per set, striking down 3.06 and 2.96 kps respectively. Fourth among all America East setters this season, Dunklau has averaged 9.65 aps while Lightfoot ranks third in digs amongst conference players, compiling 4.28 dps.
Rewriting the Books: Currently, three UNH volleyball players rank in the all-time top 10 in assists, blocks, kills and total attacks. Dunklau ranks third in program history, dishing out 1,916 assists. Tolliver joined the 300 block club against Hartford (Oct. 13) and has accumulated 328 in her career, fourth in program history. Becoming just the seventh member of the 1,000 kill club, Thatcher reached the milestone in a nine-kill performance at UMBC (Oct. 6). Thatcher has notched 1,104 kills and 2,834 attack attempts in her career, ranking fifth and seventh respectively.
Due Next: New Hampshire will compete in the upcoming America East Championships. The location, dates and times for the tournament are still to be determined. For more information about UNH volleyball and the upcoming America East Champions, be sure to visit UNHWildcats.com.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

California Database On Dying Records
Nobody is excused from necessitating vital files particularly California Dying Records. In case a person passes on, specifics about their demise is tabulated. Generally, this could compose time of dying, location of bereavement, names of mom and dad as well as the physician who cared for the deceased and so on. Files of losing a person are supplied through the condition and community government authorities for official motives namely benefits, real estate discussing along with other legitimate intentions.
Instead of another regions in USA, finding fatality accounts in California doesn't oblige awaiting a particular time period to ensure that people are accepted to get stated documents. Really, every inhabitant is given an option to choose from educational and approved documents. As declared, educational replicates are usually provided to genealogists or family lineage scrutinizers while approved replicas aim at legal good reasons to prove individuality.

If you have not heard of Leela James, get ready, because that is probably about to change. The soul/R&B singer-songwriter's name is finding its way into the mouths of music critics and fresh fans thanks to the release of her latest single "Say That" featuring Anthony Hamilton. Since her break onto the music scene in 2005 with her debut album A Change Is Gonna Come, James has steadily built her signature brand of big soulful vocals, with big "swallow her face" hair to match. But her upcoming fifth album (slated for release in early 2014) for which "Say That" is the first single could be the charm that changes the game for James and brings her explosive brand of soulful music to the masses in a huge way.
After listening to "Say That" I couldn't wait to see James perform the single live at NYC's Highline Ballroom last night. You know the feeling when you hear a song and fall in love with it, so much so that the idea of experiencing said song by way of a live sonic performance keeps you up at night with excitement and anticipation? Well folks, when Leela James exploded onto the Highline Ballroom stage and started to belt out "Long Time Coming," I knew that I was in for more than just a singular magical moment with a musician by way of a song. I was in for a treat, an hour-long party with James front and center as the jam master.
Within two minutes, everyone was up on their feet as James got James Brown on us with, "Hit me one time! Hit me two times!! Hit me three times!!!" a call that the band energetically responded to in kind in syncopated succession. I don't think I've ever seen an artist explode onto the stage with such raw energy and already turned up to ten, and it was infectious. I battled with myself many moments during the show, finding myself unable to decide whether to settle my sight on James onstage or the fans who feverishly lost themselves in her music.

Spatial analysis often uses methods adapted from conventional analysis to address problems in which spatial location is the most important explanatory variable. This online course, "Spatial Statistics with Geographic Information Systems," is directed particularly to students with backgrounds in either computing or statistics but who lack a background in the necessary geospatial concepts. Spatial Statistics with Geographic Information Systems will explain and give examples of the analysis that can be conducted in a geographic information system such as ArcGIS or Mapinfo. The motivation is simple: it is one thing to run a GIS, but quite another to use it analytically to help answer questions such as:

Note that the course does not concentrate on the analysis of spatially continuous data using methods that are collectively referred to as geostatistics. Lesson 4 has a brief introduction to the basic concepts as used in interpolation, but this is all.
In this course the homework is a mixture of some simple exercises and consists of guided data analysis problems using public domain software.
In addition to assigned readings, this course also has an end of course data modeling project, and supplemental video lectures.

This course takes place online at the Institute for 4 weeks. During each course week, you participate at times of your own choosing - there are no set times when you must be online. Course participants will be given access to a private discussion board. In class discussions led by the instructor, you can post questions, seek clarification, and interact with your fellow students and the instructor.
At the beginning of each week, you receive the relevant material, in addition to answers to exercises from the previous session. During the week, you are expected to go over the course materials, work through exercises, and submit answers. Discussion among participants is encouraged. The instructor will provide answers and comments, and at the end of the week, you will receive individual feedback on your homework answers.
Time Requirement: about 15 hours per week, at times of your choosing.
The required text for this course is Geographic Information Analysis, 2nd revised edition by O'Sullivan, D. and Unwin,D. J.
Under no circumstances should you purchase a so-called 'supplement' from a company called CRAM 101 which may well show up at the same website.
As and where necessary, the instructor has also prepared additional comments to extend the materials or point to newer work that you should know about. Students unfamiliar with basic GIS concepts might also like to consult: Geographic Information Systems and Science, 3rd Edition, by Paul A. Longley, Mike Goodchild, David J. Maguire, and David W. Rhind, ISBN 978-0-470-72144-5.Software:
The course also features added homework assignments that use some public domain software to perform the analyses. Each of the assignments for Lessons 2-4 makes use of software that you can download without paying a commercial license fee. The intention here is not to replace analyses that are available in whatever GIS it is that you run, and if it suits you better then please use it. For pedagogic reasons the instructor prefers to use these rather more educationally oriented systems. In themselves these systems are useful for learning about spatial analysis in GIS without the need to purchase a full GIS. Two things follow from this. First, students must be prepared to spend time downloading, installing and running these three systems (CrimeStat III, GeoDa and 3DField). For information on obtaining Crimestat and GeoDa, click here. All the assignments are also easily run using a fully-functional system such as ArcGIS and advice on how to do this will be given.

Nov 4 1924.
WITNESS ARCH CUSHION Filed Aug. 2, 1922 J E W 15124 3 7975 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 4, 1924.
Application filed August 2, 1922. Serial No. 579,233.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN P. W. SoHorF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Arch Cushions, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention has reference to an arch support for shoes.
An object of the invention is to provide a novel means for supporting arches of the feet which can be readily inserted in the shoe and which is yieldable to prevent discomfort to the wearer.
A further object is to produce an arch support in which the body thereof is constructed of some substantially yieldable nonmetallic material, such for instance, from a strip of leather, said body having a canvas lining on its under face to which is secured compressible air filled tubes arranged in a manner to arch the body to provide the desired support for the foot.
The foregoing, and other objects which will present themselves as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and operative association of parts, such as is disclosed by the drawing which accompanies and which forms part of this application.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a top plan view of an arch support in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 5-3 of Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the numeral 1 designates my improved arch support in its entirety. The support includes a body 2 which is preferably formed from a piece of substantially compressible material, such as from a strip of leather. On its under face the leather body 1 has secured thereto in any desired or preferred manner, a reinforcing strip of canvas which is indicated by the numeral 3. The body, as well as the canvas is provided with the usual arched portion t. Arranged transversely between the arched and substantially flattened portion of the body there are any desired number of compressible tubes l. Each of these tubes is filled with air. Disposed transversely of the tubes, but in a line with the longitudinal edge of the arched portion of the body there is another tube 5, which is also filled with air. The tube 5 is connected to the flat ends of the tubes 4 by vulcanizing these tubes together or by cementing the same.
The air filled tubes afford a yieldable support for the under face of the body 2. The tubes 1 are cemented or otherwise connected to the canvas under facing 3, so that the arched portion 1 of the body 2 is effectively sustained properly positioned on the said body, but at the same time is rendered sufficiently yieldable as to not inconvenience or hurt the foot of the wearer.
It is thought that the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawing will fully set forth the construction, operation and advantages of the improvement to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates.
Having described the claim In an arch support, a body having an arched portion, air filled tubes disposed transversely on the under face of the body at the said arched portion thereof, and an air filled tube arranged longitudinally of the body and at one edge thereof, said longitudinally arranged air tube secured to the transversely arranged air tubes and disposed beneath the end portions thereof adjacent one edge of the body.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
invention, I

A visit to Nunhead Cemetery
The mini-heatwave London's currently experiencing (the warmest start to May for 200 years apparently) has provided me with a good excuse to down-tools and potter off to explore one of south London's hidden gems, Nunhead Cemetery. It's been a good few years since I was last there, and I'd forgotten just how impressive it is. So, in a change from the norm, I'll do my Blue Badge bit and give a brief of the history of the place….
By the first half of the 19th century, London was faced with the problem of overcrowded and unsanitary graves.
Grave digger's would dig up partially decomposed corpses to make room for new interments.
The rich of the times would strive to be buried either in the church itself or in brick lined graves in the churchyard which would offer some security against being disturbed.
Evidence of this dire situation can still be seen today in the way that many churches appear to be sitting in a ground depression, but in reality it's the level of the surrounding graveyard that has risen due to the vast number of burials.
The authorities decided the solution was a series of seven large commercial cemeteries around the outskirts of the city – known as the Magnificent Seven – of which Nunhead is the second largest.
Nunhead Cemetery was opened in 1840, but by the middle of the last century the cemetery was nearly full, and so was abandoned by the United Cemetery Company. This neglect led to the cemetery gradually changing from lawn to meadow and eventually to woodland. It is now a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Metropolitan Importance for wildlife, populated with songbirds, woodpeckers and tawny owls (and of course the obligatory south London parakeets).
Entering the walled cemetery through the main north gate, one is faced with an impressive lime-lined avenue leading up to the imposing Chapel. However, apart from a small tended area by the south gate, the rest of the 52 acre cemetery largely consists of lanes and pathways through overgrown woodland of ash, sycamore and oak.
The Victorians, following the example of Queen Victoria, certainly liked to make a statement when it came to death, and at every turn there are ornate headstones, columns and monuments, full of symbolism. Peering through the trees one can see angelic statues peeking out above masses of parsley, rows of wonky, ivy-covered headstones, and gothic tombs fighting a losing battle with tree roots.
It's a wonderfully tranquil place to explore, with only the occassional dog-walker for company (it's almost like being in the country – passing strangers actually say hello!). Wandering off the main paths though, even on a hot, sunny afternoon the place can feel rather like a setting for a Hammer Horror film; one could easily imagine rounding a corner to find Peter Cushing breaking into a tomb, or perhaps Ingrid Pitt trying to lure one off the track with her heaving bosom (I should be so lucky).
Every so often the paths emerge into sunny clearings and grassy spaces, including an area for Muslim burials. At its highest point, the cemetery rises to 200 feet above sea level, and on the West Hill path there's a spot where you can see across to St. Paul's Cathederal through an opening in the trees.
The Friends of Nunhead Cemetery help maintain the cemetery, and their aim is to conserve what's there, rather than to return it to its original state. They offer guided tours on the last Sunday of each month, and are holding an Open Day this Saturday, the 17th May. Unlike the more famous Highgate Cemetery, visitors are free to wander around (between 7am and 7pm in the summer months) seven days a week, without having to take a guided tour.
Nunhead Cemetery is about a 5-10 minute stroll from Peckham Rye Park, and even closer to Nunhead railway station. If you do pay a visit, there's a map of the cemetery outside the gate, rather than on the notice board inside where you might expect to find it.
Elsewhere on the web, there's a very good piece about Nunhead Cemetery at Nothing to See Here. You can also find quite a few photos of Nunhead Cemetery at Gothic London, and an interesting page on Victorian cemetery symbolism at Dark Destiny.

I have this post marked "as new" on bloglines so I get to look at it every day. Your photos are terrific — specially the last, which looks like a Cottingley fairy.
Next time I am in London (and bear in mind I am Australian) I have promised myself I'll go.
Thanks Miss Schlegel, it's actually really nice to hear that other people enjoy my photos. I've got quite a few more from Nunhead, which I'll try put up on Flickr in the next week or two – hopefully that will suffice until your next visit to London. I hadn't thought of the similarity to the Cottingley fairies, but now you mention it, that last photo does have that sort of ethereal quality. Thanks again for the feedback (BTW, I've been enjoying reading your blog too).
what time are the guided tours in the winter months?
I cam across your website by accident looking up references to Dr Salter's Daydream, which my wife and I also found in a walk from Brunel Museum to Waterloo. We went to Nunhead Cemetery in March last year looking for the grave of my maternal grandmother who died in 1937. We were disappointed that the cemetery was so overgown and it took two visits and a lot of hard work to find the headstone. Having found it and cleaned it up we set it up in a clearing near another which someone had obviously lovingly cared for. It was interesting though that the name on the headstone was incorrect. It had her name as Florence Winifred Plumb instead of Florence Annie Plumb. Winifred was one of the daughters' names and it probably got mixed up in the grief of the moment.
when i was a child me and my siblings and pals use to play in the cemetry
one day i noticed a man dressed in black wearing a tall pointed hat following us, after awhile i turnt to the others and said to them about the man whom they couldnt see but i could, when we got to the front church bit he vanished
im 33yrs old now and still remember it like yesterday
I have ancesters buried there I have burial records I would love to locate there graves.
My Father William Belmont Robert Whitward lived on 80 Buchan Road as a child- he left London to join the WW1 Canadian Army. He met my Mother in Canada and after the war ended he came to Windsor, Ct.USA. I would like to know if I could find out where my grandparents were buried. Their names were Emily and William Whitward. My father was born in 1900. His birth was in the Sub. District of -Peckham. I am 86 and have often wondered about my grandparents- How could I find out if they were buried in the Nunhead Cemetery? I visited London a few years ago and did find 80 Buchan Road. The home was not there. Probably bombed. There were nice apartments with roses on a stone wall. I hope to go back someday.

TICONDEROGA-A Holocaust survivor, Murray Jaros has seen the worst of humanity. He's also seen the best.
"My story is not really about the suffering, but of the people who helped us," Jaros said. "It's a story of hope. What's remarkable is not my story of survival, but what's remarkable is what others did so I could survive."
Jaros told his story to a group of Ticonderoga High School students June 2. He came at the invitation of his friend John LaPointe, Putnam supervisor.
"He has an amazing story," LaPointe said. "I think everyone should hear it. I'm glad he was able to come to Ti."
A summer day in 1941 the 8-year-old Jaros was outside when he heard a noise in the sky. It was a plane, the first he had ever seen in rural Poland. Moments later, bombs began to fall.
"We lived in a very rural, small town," he said. "We didn't have electricity or communication with other towns. I didn't even know there was a war."
Soon the German army arrived, setting up camp near his home. The Nazi war machine was little more than a curiosity for Jaros.
"They had tanks, trucks, machine guns," he recalled. "I'd never seen any of those things. They never threatened us."
That changed that fall when German SS officers arrived. The SS, the Schutzstaffel, were a special unit assigned the task of identifying and eliminating threats to the Third Reich. It became infamous for its war crimes and for advocating the Final Solution - the execution of 6 million Jews.
One night a few SS officers and a group of collaborators identified the Jaros family as Jewish and broke into their home. As Jaros and a young cousin watched, his grandmother was beaten. She eventually died of her injuries. His mother and father were stripped naked, beaten and tortured as the Nazis demanded gold and money - which the Jaros family didn't have. When the pain became too much and the parents passed out, the intruders threw water on them and repeated the process.

Dinner Tonight: Chicken with Sichuan Peppercorn Paste
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Sichuan peppercorns. I love the numbing sensation on the lips they provide. I'm guilty of picking recipes solely because they contain Sichuan peppercorns. Still, this recipe from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo's Mastering the Art of Chinese Cooking also proves that the Sichuan peppercorns can play well with other flavors. More

Best Dressed: September 14-21
Following a horrible and unjust scandal, the Duchess of Cambridge kept her head held up high and a smile on her face at the British High Commission tea party in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, while on the South-East Asian Diamond Jubilee Tour. This Temperley London ensemble has the most beautiful detailing on sheer fabric covering a pale blue dress.
Emma Watson in Brood
Known for her fashion risks, Emma nailed it in this Brood Fall 2012 high collared, one shoulder detailed, button down, and peplum dress worn during an appearance on Jimmy Fallon. The dress has so much going on, but it works.
Leighton Meester in Giambattista Valli
The Gossip Girl star has been branching out to films recently, and this past week she was spotted during the screening of her new film 'The Oranges'. The Giambattista Valli dress is beautifully made and gives Leighton curves, in a good way. She accessorized it well with leopard pumps and a wide gold belt.
Olivia Palermo in Free People
Olivia Palermo has been spotted in Free People an awful lot lately, and I can't say that I'm one bit upset about it. Not only does she let people know it's okay to wear lower end items, she completely rocks it.
Camilla Belle in Michael Kors
Camilla Belle can do no wrong, I'm almost certain of that. She gets my best dressed pick of the week in this Michael Kors Resort 2013 gold lace dress that she wore to a Michael Kors launch party in New York City. Her makeup gives her a regal look and the turquoise clutch adds that perfect pop of color that the dress needed.
How do you feel about my best dressed picks?

"Follow the money" is a worthy dictumn, especially when it comes to marijuana. A ranking state tax official has offered a way to do just that.
From Allen Young in the Sacramento Business Journal: "Banks won't serve the industry today because all forms of cannabis are illegal under federal law. The federal Drug Enforcement Administration regularly warns banks against providing services to the industry."
"So Fiona Ma, who represents much of Northern California for the State Board of Equalization, has suggested a state-run depository that would give pot growers and sellers a method for depositing cash, writing checks and transferring funds."
"We want to collect the taxes and audit these people efficiently," said Ma. A state run bank would ensure that people "aren't just keeping (money) in their homes, and they aren't bringing it to a BOE office either."
Amid a miserable, interminable drought and the heat of summer, Californians managed to cut their water usage by more than 27 percent during June compared with the same month in 2013. Not bad.
From Capitol Weekly's John Howard: "The cut in usage amounted to more than 182,000 acre-feet of water, or about 59.4 billion gallons by urban water suppliers. An acre-foot — enough to meet the annual needs of a family of four — is the amount of water required to cover one acre at a depth of one foot, or nearly 326,000 gallons."
"State water officials said the June reduction meant California was on track to hit its target of cutting back by 1.2 million acre-feet through next April. The June cutbacks amount to about 15 percent of the target reduction. Some 265 water agencies and supplier serving about 27.2 million people "met or exceeded their conservation standard," the state noted. "Almost 40 percent of all urban water suppliers reduced their water use by 30 percent or more."
"California residents, "knew they had to keep conserving," Felicia Marcus, chair of the State Water Resources Control Board, said in a written statement. "That's the right attitude as we head into August and September heat — in the drought of the century with no certain end date."
Not everybody did their part, however: There were scores of water suppliers that didn't meet their goals.
From KQED's Lauren Sommer, Matthew Green and Johanna Varner: :"About a third of water districts, 140 in all, fell short, mostly in Southern California...."
"State officials will be meeting with the worst-performing providers to review their drought conservation plans. The board can issue fines of up to $500 a day for districts that fail to comply and ultimately, can levy more stringent fees of up to $10,000 a day if districts flagrantly ignore the rules."
"Saving water also means selling less water to customers, so many water districts are now grappling with revenue shortfalls. Water districts generally have inflexible costs, like paying for their water supply or infrastructure."
Meanwhile, the Bay Area was in for a weekend of pain with the planned shutdown of BART for crtical maintenance..
The Chronicle's Michael Cabanatuan tells the tale: "The shutdown underscores the wear and tear of an aging system that is more popular than ever, and raises questions about whether agency leaders could have done anything to avoid taking the tube offline for a full weekend. But mostly, it's a serious headache for riders."
"BART will open for business on Saturday and Sunday, but the stretch of track reaching from downtown Oakland to the Embarcadero Station — including the Transbay Tube and West Oakland station — will be closed. The shutdown will be repeated over the three-day Labor Day weekend."
"To keep the Bay Area connected, BART will run continuous bus service between downtown Oakland and downtown San Francisco, and ferry service is also being increased. But BART officials warn that delays could add an hour or more to journeys, and traffic across the Bay Bridge, always clogged on weekends, is sure to be a mess."
The Chowchilla kidnapping case drew intense national and international attention nearly 40 years ago. On Thursday, Gov. Brown weighed in.
From the AP: "Gov. Jerry Brown had until midnight Thursday to decide whether to approve parole for 63-year-old James Schoenfeld or send the case back to the board that recommended his release. The governor chose not to act, which allowed the parole board's decision to stand."
"Schoenfeld, his brother, Richard, and a friend, Fred Woods - all from wealthy families in the San Francisco Bay Area - were convicted in 1976. The men spent 18 months devising the plot and planned to ask for a $5 million ransom for the children, who ranged in age from 5 to 14."
"The hostages were taken from Chowchilla to a quarry near Livermore and kept inside the ventilated trailer stocked with mattresses, food and water."
Finally, who had the worst week in Sacramento? This time, the #WorstWeekinCA tag seems to fit Rep. Mike Honda, a Silicon Valley Democrat who is running for reelection under an ethics cloud. He's popular, won eight elections and has survived tough fights, but this time around the political battle is particularly intense.
Here's some background on the issue, here and here.
"Rep. Mike Honda, who has survived eight election campaigns, is facing his toughest political battle yet — a House ethics investigation that includes allegations he maintained a list of top donors called the "1,000 Cranes" who were fast-tracked for VIP treatment on matters like visas and constituent service." -- SF Chronicle.
"For the last several months, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has been reviewing alleged improper coordination between Honda's campaign and his official House staff. Whether this review leads to a broader investigation or discipline against the congressman is uncertain, due to the secretive nature and malleable timelines in which the OCE carries out its business. While the OCE does not comment on pending matters, Honda's office acknowledged on Tuesday that a review has been taking place."
"The congressman and his staff continue to cooperate fully with the OCE's review of the matter," said Lauren Smith, a spokesperson in Honda's office. "Out of respect for the process, we cannot confirm specifics or discuss any details at this time." -- San Jose Inside

TORONTO, ON (September 7, 2010) – On October 23, 2010 authors, editors and readers will gather to explore the state of speculative fiction in Canada at Toronto's SpecFic Colloquium (specfic-colloquium.com).
Canadian speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.) has been increasingly recognized internationally for the calibre of its authors and their insight into the nature of social and religious identities, the implications of new technologies, and the relationship between humankind and its environments. "Our authors are breaking out of the genre ghetto," says co-organizer Helen Marshall. "Their stories disrupt habits, overcome barriers of cultural perception to make the familiar strange. They show us the speculative fiction can be an ideal tool for social examination and critique."
The colloquium, a one-day event to launch the Chiaroscuro Reading Series, will deliver lectures by major names in the field on topics such as urban fantasy, cognitive science, queering the genre, and how Canadian science fiction is taking over the world, nicely. The lectures will be followed by readings that showcase emergent and experienced Canadian speculative fiction writers.
Guests include Kelley Armstrong, Julie Czerneda, Guy Gavriel Kay, Tony Burgess, Gemma Files, Karl Schroeder, Peter Watts, David Nickle, Michael Rowe, Bob Boyczuk and Claude Lalumière.
Sponsored by ChiZine Publications, an independent publisher of weird, surreal, subtle, and disturbing dark literary fiction, the Toronto SpecFic Colloquium will take place on Saturday October 23, 2010 in the Debates Room and Hart House, 7 Hart House Circle. Register at http://www.specfic-colloquium.com/registration.htm.

Back from Ad Astra and let me tell you it was really something! Friday night had Kevin's VAMPIRES EVOLVE book launch at the World's biggest bookstore. There was an excellent turn out with a signing line that went halfway across the store! (...ahem...this may have been the line for YA vampire author Kelley Armstrong put peoples is peoples...) Still, it was a very vibrant crowd, and there were some excellent readings/talks by Sandra Kasturi, Claude LaLumiere, Nancy Kilpatrick, Sandra Wickham, Rio Youers, and Victoria Fisher. Great to see some experienced hands at the game and some fresh faces.
Saturday was taken up largely (for my part) with tending to the CZP table, selling books, and making friends. I was joined by Blocker Kari Maaren (who made up some excellent bookmarks which I'll post about soon). I've never actually worked a dealer's table before, but it was an interesting exercises. For those of you who remember the lessons on status, well, I have to say it was wonderful to watch the crowds from that kind of perspective. In the evening, CZP launched two new books -- Gemma Files' Book of Tongues and Doug Smith's Chimerascope. The former is a weird western that seems to be a combination of magic, Aztec gods and Brokeback Mountain. The latter is a great collection of SF, fantasy, and horror edited by me! Again, there was lots of excitement with some brilliant readings by CZP vets and the launchees alike.
On Sunday, Kevin and I ran our two-hour workshop. Going in, we thought the cards might be stacked against us. At a con of approximately 100 attendees, there was something like eight concurrent sessions, and it was right at the end, the morning after the dance, the Masquerade, and numerous parties. Nevertheless, we had an enthusiastic bunch of people! Kevin covered the basics of offers, accepts, and blocks--with a little bit of character development thrown in--and then I handled the writing segment. We got some great short stories, one about an ant queen overthrown by a poisoned Twinkie (alas!)! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us! We had a wonderful time.

You may have noticed that our webpage is now sporting some awesome and hilarious comics courtesy of Kari Maaren at West of Bathurst. I first met Kari through my time living at Massey College, and I've gotta say that she is one of the most talented and prolific people I've ever met! I do wonder about the tiny cactus in my new bio picture though...
West of Bathurst is a comic about the Junior Fellows of Davies College, a graduate residence that is, well, in exactly the same geographic spot as Massey and, um, looks quite like it too. However, the characters are probably not based explicitly on any current or former Masseyites, living or dead. If you've ever wondered what the twisted world of graduate studies like then this long-running comic shows off all its weirdness and wonder.
We're happy to say that Kari will also be attending our March 28th workshop!

We've got a great line-up planned for the day with exercises in narrative building and character development. You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll write like you've never written before! And you'll even get a free lunch curtesy of Food for Thought Catering.

Picked as one of the favs of the collection, "The Sun Also Shines on the Wicked" is "a somewhat melancholy story but told with style and empathy" by our very own Kevin Nunn. In this tale, two Victorianesque gentlemen share an evening and some bloodwine with conversation where one reveals to the other his experiments that may allow their kind to experience the sun once again. He enlists his friends aid to assist in the next experiment. In a collection about the evolution of vampires, this story succeeds in never actually mentioning the word "vampire".
Other shout outs go to Sandra Kasturi whose poem "Let the Night In", a glossa inspired by P. K. Page, is called "evocative and enticing."
SciFiGuy's overall review of this collection is quite strong, calling the writing "almost uniformly excellent, stylish and though provoking" and commenting favourably upon the "strong diversity of stories and world-building that define the malleable nature of what it means to be vampire."
Look here for the full review!

Windows Be-on-Guard Edition uninstall stepsBy Gina on May 14, 2012 | Rogue Antispyware, Windows Be-on-Guard Edition, WindowsBeonGuardEdition, WindowsBe-on-GuardEdition, Windows Be on Guard Edition
Windows Be-on-Guard Edition is presented as a critical malware not only for typical malicious capabilities like its secret infiltration annoying system scanners or fake alerts. Windows Be-on-Guard Edition strategy is clear and obvious: being a commercial project it asks paying the money for its so-called services.
Malware spreads with the help of trojan. Windows Be-on-Guard Edition is configured to milk money from unwary users. That's why once active it starts to scan your PC and displays numerous fake warning messages that state about computer infections. For example:
Firewall has blocked a program from accessing the Internet
C:program filesinternet exploreriexplore.exe
is suspected to have infected your PC. This type of virus intercepts entered data and transmits them to a remote server.
Attempt to modify Registry key entries detected.
Registry entry analysis recommended.
Trojan activity detected. System data security is at risk. It is recommended to activate protection and run a full system scan.
It will then prompt you to scan your PC with Windows Be-on-Guard Edition "registered" version which deletes security alerts and virus within. This is a scam and you should avoid believing in such a hoax. All information it displays is fraudulent, so you need to ignore it. Use decent malware remover and get rid of Windows Be-on-Guard Edition immediately.

How do you annotate the poem "The Harp of India" by Henry Louis Vivian Derozio?
Why hang'st thou lonely on yon withered bough?
Unstrung for ever, must thou there remain;
Thy music once was sweet - who hears it now?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Although the above post gives some interesting suggestions about labeling meter, there are other focuses for annotating a poem. For example, you can annotate for figurative language and the meaning it grants the poem. The title "The Harp of India" seems to suggest a metaphor, and the background of Henry Louis Vivian Derozio is pro-Indian independence from Great Britain. Knowing that, let's annotate for metaphors.
Since you have given us the first lines, we'll use those.
Why hang'st thou lonely on yon withered bough?
This is an interesting line. It seems to indicate that the fruit (Indian independence) has a choice. Why is it still hanging there? I chose two words to highlight. I also highlighted "lonely" because it seems to indicate isolation, like it has been left behind.
Unstrung for ever, must thou there remain;
I chose to highlight "for ever" and "remain" because it indicates that the situation is dire. There is no hope for India. Separating "for" and "ever" emphasizes the length of time.
Thy music once was sweet - who hears it now?
I annotated these words to continue the same trend of time in the metaphor. It tells the story of a country that was once successful, but is not isolated, neglected, and a shadow of its former self.
Remember that the key to annotation is to look deeper at the words on the page. You can annotate across several times for several reasons. There is no right or wrong answer—it just depends on what you are looking for and how you interpret it.
The lines you have included are an example of poetic meter called iambic pentameter, which means that each line includes five iambs. An iamb is a type of poetic "foot" that includes one accented and one unaccented syllable, with the accent on the second syllable. Though meter is not always exact, in the lines above, it is.
Below, I have highlighted the syllables that should include an accent, thus receiving emphasis:
Why hang'st thou lonely on yon withered bough?
Unstrung for ever, must thou there remains;
the music once was sweet - who hears it now.
I've included a link below that discusses iambic pentameter a bit further, including why it is the most common type of meter in poetry. You may find it helpful.

Jonathan Wolken (1949 - 2010) co-founder and co-artistic director of Pilobolus, was a choreographer who forever changed the face of modern dance. But Jonathan thought of himself as much as a teacher as he did as a maker of dances. Mentoring countless students of diverse backgrounds for almost 40 years - from dancers to lawyers, from business people to school teachers - Jonathan employed Pilobolus' collaborative creative methods to inspire students in any field to push beyond their limits and attain physical and creative goals they never thought possible. Jonathan's gift - through his teaching and his choreographic work - inspired courage, knowledge, passion, curiosity, resilience, and delight at the creative process. This fund will sustain Pilobolus' collaborative education programs for the next 40 years.
Uses for the Wolken Education Fund will include:
- the codification and refinement of Pilobolus' educational method, as well as the expansion of its reach to new populations and areas of group activity, through a Pilobolus studio school as well as in Connecticut and New York public schools;
- the establishment of the Pilobolus Humanities Program;
- the initiation of the Pilobolus "Imaginators" Program, which fosters the choreographic leadership of Pilobolus-trained artists;
- a targeted funding source for future educational efforts that Jonathan had imagined but had yet to realize.
Donations can be made through our website or checks made out to Pilboolus can be mailed to PO Box 388, Washington Depot, CT 06794. Specify The Wolken Fund. DONATE

Grammy-winning Edison deserves spot in statuary hall
HE WAS no singing sensation compared to Michael Jackson although he did produce a recording that made history. It didn't come close to Thriller in theatrics but when Thomas Alva Edison recited "Mary had a little lamb" into his phonograph, creating the first recorded sound the world had ever heard, it was a hit.
And 78 years after the prolific inventor died, Edison, like Jackson, is being posthumously honored this year by the recording industry with a Grammy.
Imagine him giving an acceptance speech among the glitterati of Hollywood. It could be a tad different from one the late pop star might give with "Off the Wall" references to "Bad" singles and impromptu dance moves to enliven delivery. Picture instead a white-haired award recipient in staid period attire ambling up to the microphone - which he also invented - and musing about the awesome but unforeseen consequences of his favorite creation.
The tinfoil tabletop phonograph may not have looked like much back in the day but it performed like nothing ever had before to record and reproduce his words. And, in contrast to other Edison inventions perfected through painstaking trial and error, his 1877 phonograph worked the first time.
Of the nearly 1,100 U.S. patents Edison held - including the one for the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb - the recording device he created at Menlo Park was the most original. And it was the genesis for all that follows today in an age where recorded sound is so ubiquitous.
The Ohio native, born in the wee village of Milan, about an hour east of Toledo, would be as giddy as an eclectic century-old inventor could be about the idea of recorded music being shared instantaneously around the globe through file transfers, MP3s, i-Tunes, and downloads.
Yet after the shock subsided, he'd undoubtedly take deep satisfaction in knowing that every recorded sound, from differentiating cell phone rings to infinite iPod selections, was made possible by an inventor's hunch more than a hundred years ago. After all, it was he who created the technology for music artistry to flourish.
That's why, unlike the black vinyls of my youth or the CDs of my adulthood, Edison will never be passe. The still-evolving recording industry continues to draw inspiration from his innovations as do others in broader entertainment and communication circles.
Among the luminaries being honored with Grammys this year, he stands out not for his moonwalk or music compositions or best-selling albums, but for successfully recording a childhood rhyme on a patented phonograph that changed everything. The Grammy Recording Academy honors Edison for far more than commercial success, it honors him for making the recording business possible.
From recorded sound to motion pictures and medical technology, numerous Edison inventions played integral roles in transforming the rudimentary to revolutionary. You turn on a light, or electric stove, go for an X-ray, pop an alkaline battery into a toy, or listen to a world famous orchestra at home because an extraordinary visionary was once driven by the possibilities.
Beyond this Grammy, Edison should ultimately be recognized by his home state with enshrinement in the U.S. Capitol's hallowed Statuary Hall. What greater tribute can Ohio give its famous son, whose inventive contributions to the world are unsurpassed?
In a few months, a state legislative committee, headed by Republican Sen. Mark Wagoner of Toledo, will identify a deserving historical figure from Ohio to replace the statue of a 19th century pro-slavery politician. Why not a 19th-century superstar who's been called The Man Who Invented the 20th Century - not to mention a Grammy winner with enduring relevance in the 21st century?
If ever the hard-hit Buckeye State needed to embrace an inspirational character who overcame adversity and deafness in youth to become a brilliant innovator with irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit, it is now. The Edison example of persevering until failure gives way to success is a lesson every generation struggling through tough times can take to heart.
"I have seen many depressions in business," said the venerable inventor. "Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave. Have faith. Go forward."
Not a bad speech for the 2009 Grammy honoree whose recording genius and timeless legacy of creating what was needed continues to influence dreamers pursuing huge hits.

MLB At Bat 2009 Now Available
A few weeks back we reported that MLB At Bat 2009 [iTunes Link] would be available on April 3rd, well it seems it was pushed out a few days early and can now be found in the App Store. Most of it's features, however, will not be activated until April 6th. The biggest feature being, live Gameday Audio, from either the home or visiting team radio announcers, streamed directly to your iPhone. That feature alone should make this app worth the price of admission for all of you hardcore baseball fans.
So you have to be asking, how much will this cost me? For the entire baseball season including post season play this will run you $9.99. That really is not too bad considering in-game audio for the complete season, directly from the MLB website, costs $14.99.
So how many of you will be picking this one up? Let us know what you think!
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

MLB At Bat 2009 Now Available
I will be picking it up, probably reviewing it.
I downloaded it as soon as I saw this post. I'm a Twins fan living in Virginia, so the audio is a huge plus for me.
I bought it while I was reading your post!!!
Picked it up due to the quality of the app for the 08 season was wonderful. Although I can listen to the game (WhiteSox) here in Chicago, the addition of the audio is a smooth move by the developers. I hope that they worked out the stream to work with EDGE networks. 10 bucks for a very well designed app.
I had the version from last season, and thought $4.99 was a bargain. Adding Gameday audio makes this the one of the best $10 purchases I have ever made! I would have likely paid $9.99 for the full '09 version if all the features were the same as last year! Take heed folks...because I am sure that with iPhone OS 3.0 and the subscription model, this is the last time you will get this type of deal from MLB@Bat
Audio feeds will drop occasionally but overall it is nice to have access to every game. As a baseball fan, I was really looking forward to the West Coast feeds so I could listen to baseball late into the night. So far it is well worth the $9.99 price. Only drawback is that it appears that you have to purchase the $14.99 mlb.com package in addition if you want to listen using your pc and you don't have your iphone or touch with you.

After walking all morning our group of 8 needed to refuel. Met James (our server) outside and asked him if Ryan's was a good place to eat. He lied... He said the food was great and the beer was cold but the service was poor. The food was phenomenal, the beer was frosty but the service was not poor.... James lied.. The service was great too!!
Posted by J Gadbois on 08/20/2014
We only had 1 hour to find a place to eat. We stopped in and decided since we had a big dinner to go to later to keep it quick and simple. The Calamari was good but the Clam Chowder had to be the best I have ever had. Loaded with clams and not heavy with heavy cream. I would love to have the recipe.
Posted by Griff & Ginny on 09/01/2012
Beautiful place, charming atmosphere, a very friendly staff. Unfortunately the food is sub-par. The hamburger tasted liked a pre-cooked generic patty. Dry, no seasoning, no juices. The bun was way too large, very dry. The french fries were frozen. and poorly cooked. Their Fish and Chips were somewhere along the caliber of what you would buy in your frozen food section, perhaps not as good. The chips, frozen, soggy and undercooked. And the side of slaw tasted like it had been fermenting in a bucket for weeks. Too bad the fantastic charm of this place fails to deliver with it's food.
Posted by Stace on 05/23/2011
Cute irish bar/restaurant. Food is standard fare for such places. The service was fast. But, we didn't get a check, they just ran our card which had been behind the bar. When I asked for the breakdown of the check, to see what I was paying for I was told they lost it and could not reprint it? hello. Who just pays a total amount without seeing the actual check. When I made a slight issue of this, suddenly my check was available. Strange... To be honest, I think they wanted our table, wanted to rush us out and thought we were tourists who would tip poorly. Incorrect on both accounts. I always tip 20% at least. But on this occassion, I stiffed her with less than 10%. The tip reflected the service. If you cannot provide me with the courtesy of a check, then I canonot provide you with a decent tip. Heads up folks, just because you hear an accent does not mean that I don't work two blocks away...

I love ryans! the title says it all. I spend enough time there to make it a home! great food, cheap drinks, amazing service and staff. Can't go wrong with that!
Posted by anonymous on 02/16/2009
this place is awesome......cheap and cheerful...went in for lunch last week as our usual had closed....sat at the bar and had one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had....wonderful service and the eye candy behind the bar was a treat too!!! great conversation and chat....all part of the irish charm I presume! looking forward to our return there soon
Posted by bklyn girl in vt on 08/03/2008
We were looking for a less touristy place near the seaport and found this little place on a side street off Fulton. We keep going back. Great burgers, awesome service, cute pub atmosphere and prices much lower than 2 blocks away in the seaport area.
