Irving man who posed as boy on social media to lure girls gets almost 17 years in prison
An Irving man who got a young girl to send him sexually-explicit photos of herself by posing as a boy on social media has been sentenced to nearly 17 years in federal prison for producing child pornography, federal authorities said.
Daniel Fredrick Heidemann, 42, pleaded guilty to the charge in the Southern District of Texas and was sentenced to 200 months in prison.
Heidemann must also serve 20 years of probation when he's released from prison during which he will be banned from having access to children and the Internet.
Prosecutors said Heidemann also targeted victims from Ohio and Oregon.
The crime came to light when Heidemann's wife was searching his cell phone and found the girl's phone number and called it, according to a federal complaint.
In August 2014, the mother of a 15-year-old Corpus Christi girl told police her daughter had been communicating with someone she thought was a 16-year-old boy from Dallas via text messages and several social media websites, the complaint said.
"Heidemann was identified as the perpetrator and admitted to posing as a juvenile male and enticing the victim into sending him sexually explicit photographs of herself," the U.S. attorney's office said.
Police searched Heidemann's Irving home and seized evidence including several sexually-explicit photographs of the victim. Heidemann's cell phone records revealed more than 14,000 text messages and phone calls he had with the victim from May 2014 to August 2014, the complaint said.
Heidemann told federal agents he used a photo of his friend's son to trick the victim into thinking he was a boy.
Agents also learned that Heidemann was accused of sexually assaulting a patient at Parkland Memorial Hospital where he worked in May 2014 as a patient care assistant, the complaint said.
The victim, a 27-year-old pregnant woman, was recovering from brain surgery after suffering a stroke. Heidemann was part of a team treating her. The woman reported to hospital police that Heidemann sexually assaulted her twice. Heidemann denied it and was fired.
Heidemann has been in custody since his March 2015 arrest.
The Corpus Christi Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force helped with the case.

Was The Expanse really 50 ly from Earth, and 2000 ly across?

And of course, the Enterprise destroyed the expanse, and it reverted back to normal space. So however big amd close to Earth it was in the 22nd century is irrelavent to chronologically later Treks.
Isn't Federation space in the 24th century about 7000 ly across? Its seems kind of absurd for the expanse to comprise nearly a third of what would become the Federation.
Why? The Expanse was gone before the Federation even came into being, so why does it matter?
Besides, we don't know in which "direction" the Federation expanded. The systems that used to be in the Expanse might still be outside of the Federation by the 24th century.

I'd like to start off by saying that most of the barn hands where I board do an exceptional job at taking care of the horses, and I don't take that for granted.
However, one of them, we'll call him Joe, has been practically all over me since about a month before I bought my horse. He started out just being friendly when we happened to cross paths, so it wasn't an issue. Since then it's progressively gotten worse to the point where he's trying to help me with EVERYTHING. He doesn't follow me around necessarily, but any time I'm within sight or earshot he's there within seconds.
Again, at first it wasn't a problem. It was maybe once a day, opening a gate for me or just petting my horse for a few seconds then moving on. Now it's at least four times a day, but much more often on days that I work for my trainer. It's gotten so bad that he actually causes problems by holding me up when I'm busy, insisting on helping but doing it wrong so I have to spend time fixing it, or otherwise just getting in the way. I realize he means well, but his "help" is getting in the way of my job and personal time with my horse.
Example one:
I was putting dressage boots on one of the training horses and Joe happened to walk by. He insisted on helping, so I agreed. He put the boots on his side on backwards, so I had to go back and do them over again.
Example two:
I had just started training Sock to lunge again, and Joe was watching us from outside the arena. When I stopped Sock to send him the other way, Joe comes in, interrupting the session and entirely defeating the purpose of the exercise, which was to get him to focus on me. He stood there petting Sock for two minutes or so, trying to make awkward conversation with me, then finally left so we could continue.
Example three:
Sock is just getting used to blanketing. As of a few weeks ago, he's been pretty good about it, but every now and then he balks a little. The other day he was putting up a bit of a fuss while I was trying to take it off, so I put his halter on as an aid just in case. Joe shows up, offers to help, I tell him we're okay, but he steps in anyway. He proceeded to grab the halter by the top of the nose and hold it fairly tightly, scaring my horse even more. I quickly got the blanket off and the ordeal was over, but I really wasn't happy about what had just happened.
Things like this happen on a daily basis now, usually a few times a day. My trainer has three new horses starting in January. I'll barely have time to do things the right way, let alone fix his mistakes after this week. I'm also not happy that he's interrupting my horse's training program and I'm sick of feeling uncomfortable at the barn.
So the question is what the heck do I do about it? Should I go to the BO or talk to him directly? If the latter, how the heck do you tell someone who's taking such good care of your horse (in the way of feeding and cleaning at least) that you don't want their help?

Yes, that is true. There are many of these Tutorials in the world wide web. We're just explaining everything from the beginning. Every Video-Tutorial will explain more about the Hammer Editor and Features. ;)
Thank you for the Comment.
I used a video called VT_Basic_Room from google and it was really well done and taught me how to do the basics. Then obviously I found more advanced videos to show me how to do more stuff. I've created a few CS:S maps but what I don't like about Hammer is I found myself having to do lots of work arounds to do stuff that I want instead of being able to create them in Hammer myself. When I started to learn how to use Unreal Engine 3 I found that to be much better.
I havn't used Hammer in years though so it might havn't changed.
whwre do u get this program? :)
you need half-life 2 and then download source SDK, the n you can open that up and go on hammer
love it. quick and fast walkthrough that does not take 30min to great an empty box and you include changing textures. Well done mate!
I have NEVER had a problem when I run game after compiling. EVER!
Hey, i created my FIRST-mAP BUT when i spawn, every thing is pitchblack and like motion-tracker, it's like when i spawn in nowhere when i play other mods.
it wont let me spawn it tells me that both teams r full
Uhm, i don't know why, but for some reason, the block tool has stopped working for me ...
It doesn't create anything, it just sorta drags the screen when i try to press with it. Anyone know how to solve?
Can't you just create a 3dsmax model then import it? But I don't have hammer so I don't know if it does that.

December 1, 2015
IRVING (March 31, 2014) A Dallas-area woman was held without bond Monday, charged with intoxication manslaughter after an SUV crash that left two of her children dead and two others seriously injured.
Crystal Suniga, 30, had a blood alcohol content of 0.18, more than twice the legal limit, at the time of the accident, Irving police spokesman James McLellan said.
Her sons Angel Reyes, 14, and Ricardo Hernandez, 10, both died at the scene of the crash Saturday night.
A 16-year-old boy and girl whose age was not immediately available were hurt.
Suniga was also taken to a Dallas hospital, but was later transferred to the Dallas County Jail.
She's named in complaints charging two counts of intoxication manslaughter, two counts of injury to a child and one count of intoxication assault.

Goofy Looking Butterfly Snack Thing...
I got this idea from Family Fun magazine (either that or Parents--can't remember which). When we got ready to make them, I could find the mag, so I had to wing it a bit (no pun intended). They look a little goofy with their big googly eyes!!
This is what DS took to pre-school for snack the other day:
I thinnk they are very cute! I am sure he was very proud of them!
That is great! I was thinking about doing a butterfly theme for my daughter's birthday.

"Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure"
Ravenclaw House is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The House was founded by Rowena Ravenclaw. Ravenclaws are known for their wisdom, cleverness, and wit; the Pottermore welcome letter also notes that its members can be quirky. Members reside in Ravenclaw Tower. According to J.K. Rowling, Ravenclaw roughly corresponds to the element of air.
Associated Traits
Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, and creativity. Many well-known inventors and innovators have come from Ravenclaw. However, Ravenclaws have been accused of undermining each other and students from other houses in order to earn the highest grade.
Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird. They can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. While others may be inclined to shun and ridicule such people, Ravenclaws generally accept and celebrate these eccentrics.
Rowena Ravenclaw founded Ravenclaw House. She was known as a beautiful and intelligent witch, and her chocolate frog card calls her "the most brilliant witch of her time." Rowena valued learning, so she chose students who demonstrated cleverness and wisdom.
Head of House
Filius Flitwick is the Head of Ravenclaw House. He is the Charms professor at Hogwarts and the most knowledgable Charms master alive today. According to the Pottermore welcome letter, when Ravenclaws are extremely upset he makes little cupcakes do a dance to cheer them up.
The Grey Lady (Helena Ravenclaw) is the Ravenclaw ghost. She rarely speaks to anyone outside Ravenclaw, but is a great resource for Ravenclaws who are lost or have lost something.
Notable Members
- Perpetua Fancourt, inventor of the lunascope
- Laverne de Montmorency, pioneer of love potions
- Ignatia Wildsmith, inventor of Floo powder
- Garrick Ollivander, wandmaker
- Lorcan McLaird, former Minister for Magic
- Millicent Bagnold, former Minister for Magic
- Uric the Oddball
- Quirinus Quirrell, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts
- Luna Lovegood, perhaps the most famous Ravenclaw of our time, was the only non-Gryffindor to storm the Department of Mysteries with the legendary Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley. She was also the only non-Gryffindor to have a leadership role in Dumbledore's Army.
- Cho Chang, another notable Ravenclaw. She was in partial grief for a time because of Cedric Diggory's murder, later falling for Harry but ultimately falling out with him after defending her friend Marietta Edgecombe.
Ravenclaw Tower
The Ravenclaw common room and dormitories are located in Ravenclaw Tower. Students enter through a door with an bronze eagle-shaped knocker. The knocker asks a question of anyone who knocks on it and opens the door when the question is answered correctly. If the riddle is especially difficult, large groups of students may congregate outside the door as they try to figure it out.
The common room is circular, with arched windows that provide incredible views of the Hogwarts grounds, and a domed ceiling painted with stars like the night sky. It has a white marble statue of founder Rowena Ravenclaw, and behind it lies the door leading to the dormitories.
The dormitories are in turrets off the main tower, where students can hear the wind whistling around the windows. The bedsheets on the four-poster beds are made of sky blue silk.
Welcome Message
"I'm Prefect Robert Hilliard, and I'm delighted to welcome you to RAVENCLAW HOUSE. Our emblem is the eagle, which soars where others cannot climb; our house colors are blue and bronze, and our common room is found at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, behind a door with an enchanted knocker. The arched windows set into the walls of our circular common room look down at the school grounds: the lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the Herbology gardens. No other house in the school has such stunning views.
"Without wishing to boast, this is the house where the cleverest witches and wizards live. Our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, prized learning above all else – and so do we. Unlike the other houses, who all have concealed entrances to their common rooms, we don't need one. The door to our common room lies at the top of a tall, winding staircase. It has no handle, but an enchanted bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. When you rap on the door, this knocker will ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, you are allowed in. This simple barrier has kept out everyone but Ravenclaws for nearly a thousand years.
"Some first-years are scared by having to answer the eagle's questions, but don't worry. Ravenclaws learn quickly, and you'll soon enjoy the challenges the door sets. It's not unusual to find twenty people standing outside the common room door, all trying to work out the answer to the day's question together. This is a great way to meet fellow Ravenclaws from other years, and to learn from them – although it is a bit annoying if you've forgotten your Quidditch robes and need to get in and out in a hurry. In fact, I'd advise you to triple-check your bag for everything you need before leaving Ravenclaw Tower.
"Another cool thing about Ravenclaw is that our people are the most individual – some might even call them eccentrics. But geniuses are often out of step with ordinary folk, and unlike some other houses we could mention, we think you've got the right to wear what you like, believe what you want, and say what you feel. We aren't put off by people who march to a different tune; on the contrary, we value them!
"Speaking of eccentrics, you'll like our Head of house, Professor Filius Flitwick. People often underestimate him, because he's really tiny (we think he's part elf, but we've never been rude enough to ask) and he's got a squeaky voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable Charms master alive in the world today. His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem, and if you're in a real state he'll get out these delicious little cupcakes he keeps in a tin in his desk drawer and make them do a little dance for you. In fact, it's worth pretending you're in a real state just to see them jive.
"Ravenclaw house has an illustrious history. Most of the greatest wizarding inventors and innovators were in our house, including Perpetua Fancourt, the inventor of the lunascope, Laverne de Montmorency, a great pioneer of love potions, and Ignatia Wildsmith, the inventor of Floo powder. Famous Ravenclaw Ministers for Magic include Millicent Bagnold, who was in power on the night that Harry Potter survived the Dark Lord's curse, and defended the wizarding celebrations all over Britain with the words, 'I assert our inalienable right to party.' There was also Minister Lorcan McLaird, who was a quite brilliant wizard, but preferred to communicate by puffing smoke out of the end of his wand. Well, I did say we produce eccentrics. In fact, we are also the house that gave the wizarding world Uric the Oddball, who used a jellyfish for a hat. He's the punch line of a lot of wizarding jokes.
"As for our relationship with the other three houses: well, you've probably heard about the Slytherin. They're not all bad, but you'd do well to be on your guard until you know them well. They've got a long house tradition of doing whatever it takes to win – so watch out, especially in Quidditch matches and exams.
"The Gryffindors are OK. If I had a criticism, I'd say Gryffindors tend to be show-offs. They're also much less tolerant than we are of people who are different; in fact, they've been known to make jokes about Ravenclaws who have developed an interest in levitation, or the possible magical uses of troll bogies, or ovomancy, which (as you probably know) is a method of divination using eggs. Gryffindors haven't got our intellectual curiosity, whereas we've got no problem if you want to spend your days and nights cracking eggs in a corner of the common room and writing down your predictions according to the way the yolks fall. In fact, you'll probably find a few people to help you.
"As for the Hufflepuffs, well, nobody could say they're not nice people. In fact, they're some of the nicest people in the school. Let's just say you needn't worry too much about them when it comes to competition at exam time.
"I think that's nearly everything. Oh yes, our house ghost is the Grey Lady. The rest of the school thinks she never speaks, but she'll talk to Ravenclaws. She's particularly useful if you're lost, or you've mislaid something.
"I'm sure you'll have a good night. Our dormitories are in turrets off the main tower; our four-poster beds are covered in sky blue silk eiderdowns and the sound of the wind whistling around the windows is very relaxing.
"And once again: well done on becoming a member of the cleverest, quirkiest and most interesting house at Hogwarts."

Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.
"My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world," Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, "knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep."
From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.
Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Please contact me if you're thinking about purchasing a Mercedes-Benz in the
Atlanta area.
I was able to visit the Fuel Cell Development center when I visited Germany last year. I saw all of the vehicles that they show in this video and went for a ride in one of the fuel cell equipped B-Classes. It was seamless, impressive and entirely believable as a daily driver. Mercedes has also put fuel cells into commercial busses and delivery vehicles all over Europe. As this technology gains recognition and passes all of these tests it may become the most viable of the alternative fuel sources available now.
A customer of Atlanta Classic Cars went off the side of the road, overcorrected, crossed the road and hit a tree head-on at about 50 miles per hour. She had some surgery on her hand and her leg but will make a full recovery. The fireman told her husband that the tree tried to kill her and the car saved her life.
Notice in the pictures how some of the engine moved up and some moved down but nothing entered the passenger cabin. The most amazing thing to me is that all four doors open smoothly. With the entire front end crumpled, the passenger compartment was not compromised. Except for the mud, the inside of the car looks almost new!
And the story has a happy ending…She bought a brand new C300 over the weekend!
A customer e-mailed me last week to ask if the iPhone cradle they saw on Ebay would work in their car. Even though I had written about this part when Mercedes announced it I had never actually used one. I had my parts department order one for me and was able to test it today.
This cradle is designed to plug into the MHI port in most 2007-2008 vehicles and the 2009 S and CL. Any car that would use a bluetooth adaptor, what I call a "puck," could use this cradle. This cradle is NOT compatible with the 3G iPhone. The 3G iPhone is too wide to fit into the cradle. There is a rumor of a 3G version but it doesn't seem to be avaliable in the US yet. So, you plug the cradle into the car, synch the bluetooth and you now have a bluetooth adaptor that will also charge your iPhone as opposed to the normal puck that does not charge your iPhone. That seems to be the main benefit.
The instruction booklet also states that "If your vehicle is equipped with an iPod Integration Kit, it is possible to access the iPod functions of the iPhone in the cradle via the COMAND system…after an additional connection between the cradle and the iPod Integration Kit has been installed. A competent installation by a qualified specialist workshop must be performed for the connection of the iPhone Cradle to the iPod Interface Kit." What that means is that you can't just plug it in and start using it as both the phone and the iPod. You would have to take it out of the cradle and plug it into the kit to play music unless you pay the labor (and parts?) at the shop for them to re-wire it.
Also, I thought the plug on the side of the cradle (show above on the left) looked familiar. It is the same plug that the Multimedia Interface Cable or iPod/MP3 Adaptor Cable uses to plug into 2009 vehicles with the NTG 2.5 COMAND system (2009 ML, GL, R, E, SL, SLK). If you unplug the Multimedia Interface Cable and plug in the iPhone cradle you can access the iPod functionality of the iPhone and stay connected via bluetooth (shown below). This is not an improvement. You can already plug the iPhone directly into the Multimedia Interface Cable and do the same thing. The instruction booklet makes no mention of this extra cord on the side. Strange.
So, in summary… You cannot use this accessory with the 3G iPhone. You cannot use it with a 2008 or 2009 C-Class (no MHI). It is pretty useless for a 2009 ML, GL, R, E, SL and SLK. If you use an iPhone and would like it to charge in the car and you drive a 2007-2009 S or CL or a 2007-2008 E, ML, GL, or SL you might like it. Please consult with your parts department to definitely determine compatibility.
Mercedes-Benz has always had an eye on being a green company. From the vehicles they build to the factories they build them in, Mercedes is environmentally responsible and forward thinking. They have recently updated a portion of MBUSA.com to highlight some of their accomplishments. The Thinking GREEN section talks about the clean-burning diesel vehicles, the flex-fuel capability of the C-Class and the upcoming hybrid models. It also delves into manufacturing process and corporate initiatives. I found this to be very informative. You can visit it directly here.
The S400 will use a "mild hybrid" system that allows the battery to provide a boost to the engine when running and also restart the engine when it shuts off at a stop. Mercedes is using is a Lithium Ion battery pack, which is lighter and more efficient than the usual nickel-metal-hydride battery other manufacturers are using. The German Automobile Association and Europe's largest car club, the ADAC, awarded its Yellow Angel award for the Innovation & Environment category for the use of this lithium ion battery technology. I thought this article from HybridCars.com was informative.
Fifth Gear recently reviewed a Smart Car that uses this shutting-off-at-a-stop system and said it was seamless. This system is demonstrated at 2:30 min in.
If you would like to reserve a place on the order list at Atlanta Classic Cars, please get in touch!
If you have a 2008 or 2009 S/CL-Class or a 2009 SL/SLK/E/CLS/M/R/GL-Class with a Command head unit your software update should be available mid-October.
If you have a 2008 E/CLS/SLK-Class with a Command head unit the software update is currently being tested and they are hoping to have it available by the beginning of November.
All other 2008 and 2009 vehicles should receive "The Best of XM" without a software update.

Battle of Viery
this wiki
|Battle of Viery
The Battle of Viery was a major engagement between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant Empire during the Fall of Reach in August 2552.[1]
Spartan Noble Team discovered a large Covenant Strike force the night prior, and the UNSC responded with a massive ground and air based counterattack the following morning.[1] The overall goal of the UNSC was to blitz the Covenant Strike Force before the rest of the Covenant Fleet arrived, preventing any solid Covenant foot hold on Reach.
The main target for the UNSC counterattack was to take out the EMP spires located along the valley ridge. It is important to note that the UNSC did not know what the main purpose of the spires were upon attacking. Noble Team led the attack on Spire One, deactivating the EMP shield. This allowed the UNSC air support to destroy Spire One.[1]
The Battle
A massive UNSC force stormed the Viery plains towards the Covenant-occupied site, attempting to reclaim the land and eliminate all Covenant presences from Reach. Noble Team assisted the UNSC assault, with Noble Six and Kat-B320 via Warthog while Jorge-052 and Carter-A259 provided support from their Falcon.
The assault was soon confronted by heavy Covenant units, which officially initiated the Battle of Viery. Six and Kat avoided the onslaught by proceeding to their objective via bridge access, which was destroyed by Covenant mortars. Successfully making to the other side, the two Spartans continued to the Spire and eliminated Covenant forces while en route to the first anti-air emplacement. The Spartans then destroyed the Covenant anti-air emplacement, allowing for an air strike against Scarabs. Six and Two then headed to the BXR Mining Facility to assist Army forces in the area, including taking down a high-value target, an Elite Zealot. Six and Kat then moved on to destroy another Covenant anti-air battery, after which Six joined Jorge and rode a Falcon towards the Spire site. With no other alternatives of entering the Spire site, the Falcon ran through the electromagnetic shields emitted by the Spire structure and crashed landed, killing everyone but Jorge and Noble Six. The pair continued fighting their way into the structure, with Six managing to deactivate the structure's shielding system. Cleared of defenses, the UNSC called in a MAC strike executed by the UNSC Grafton.
The spire's purpose was soon realized to be a cloaking device for a CSO-class supercarrier in low orbit above Reach. Upon being discovered, the Covenant Supercarrier proceeded to obliterate the attacking UNSC forces, destroying the UNSC heavy frigate, Grafton with one of its energy projectors, and forcing Noble Team to retreat from the battlefield. The Supercarrier then fell back into Covenant controlled space in orbit above Reach.

Cher has heaped praise on pop star Pink after record label bosses were thrilled with the material the So What hitmaker penned for her.
The superstar is planning a comeback with her first new album in 11 years and recently revealed she will be hitting the road once again for her last ever tour.
The trek will kick off after the legendary entertainer undergoes surgery on her foot, but she thrilled fans on Thursday (19Jul12) by confirming a single will be released later this year (12).
Cher also thanked Pink, real name Alecia Moore, for writing her new material - insisting executives at her record company were impressed by her work.
Taking to Twitter.com, the veteran singer writes, "Had meeting 2nite (tonight) w/Record Co. (with record company). They Love (the) Song I've done! Got 2 New (songs)! Pink Wrote them! Co (the company) wants it out (at the) end (of the) yr (year). pic'd (picked) single... Alecia wrote 2 Great Songs!... Pink is Definitely My Girl! She's Talent! Luv it (sic)."
Lady Gaga has also penned a track for Cher's new record.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
More spending, and more taxes on the "rich" to pay for it. More of the same. Didn't really expect anything else from Nobama - moving on.
Bush lied and we must raise taxes to fix the Bush problems
Less than 10 minutes ot the first Blame Bush comment - well done Dorcus, you can have your meds now
Bush lied? Wow, does any one even keep track of the Obama Whoppers list? I've lost count, or more correctly I do not trust anything Obama says. Obama stepped way over the Red Line,and stepped in "it". He's too busy giving Putin more flexibility after the Obama re-election.
The increases in social spending and failure to deter the massive fraud in them is to buy votes. Spending on infrastructure (which is mostly done at the state levels) is to shove more money to unions, who will in turn send more money to the DNC.
This administration buys votes with our money like no other I've ever seen, and Obama is quite shameless about it. God help us, if it isn't already too late.
''Whoever moves into the White House in January 2009 will face an unenviable set of economic circumstances. Extricating the country from Iraq will be the bloodier task, but putting America's economic house in order will be wrenching and take years"
Thank you Lord Haw Haw. Comrade Obamsky has been on the job six years now. If it is still "Bush's fault" then Obamsky is 1)Incompetent or 2) irrelevant. Which one is it?
PS: Vanity Fair? That well-know font of level headed objectivism, just like Slate, and Rolling Stone.
Purposely vague at this point. No specifics. Therefore, larglely meaningless. More an initial proposal rather than a final budget. Congress must also agree in an election year. Very unlikely. New taxes 10 years out are not meaningful either, just wishful. Not a real budget and will probably be ignored. If Republicans make headway in Nov. and gain majorities in the House and Senate, President Obama officially becomes a "lame duck" president. Nothing further will be accomplished from the White House if it involves any Congressional legislation. Obama may then issue a fusillade of Executive Orders (EO's) like Clinton did after the Monica Lewinsky affair.
only the incompetent point fingers. He wanted the job; grow a pair. He should have read the Vanity Fair article before deciding to run for office.

What Will Tina Brown Do With the Last Newsweek Covers?
With only 10 issues remaining, the print edition of Newsweek will now serve as Tina Brown's updated résumé. What will she do with these final covers, now that "everyone" (in New York media circles) is watching again?
You can help Tina decide how to make these last issues really shine! We've got the editorial calendar through the final issue, December 31, and can already see some interesting cover possibilities. "Smartest Families: How to Raise a Brilliant Child," holds promise, maybe with Einstein's head on a "regular baby" in a BOB double stroller in Prospect Park, with maybe Steve Jobs' head on the other baby? And "The Hero Issue" cover could be as important a canvas for Tina Brown as the ceiling of that one church was, for Michelangelo—we're thinking all of the Romney sons, as The Avengers.
Please put your suggestions in the comments, and by all means spend a few hours doing "mockups" at work, because you don't want to look like you're overly concerned about losing your job. Remember that your bosses can sense desperation, the way dogs can sense fear, or leftovers. (Note of Sincerity: We are very sorry for our colleagues and comrades facing layoffs, and hope they can quickly find new jobs or at least get decent severance packages.)

Ahh, the sound of bubble wrap. There's nothing quite like the delightful "pop" of bubble wrap after it's served its usefulness protecting your fragile package. Why wait before you get something in the mail from Amazon? Have it constantly at your fingertips--on public transportation, while waiting in line at the bank, even while in a quiet library! Just. Kidding. You might get hit upside the head. These aren't available in the U.S. quite yet (they're from Japan), but I'm sure the resourceful and obsessed out there--I count myself among them--will get a hold of one of these gizmos pronto.

'Artık' can be used to say both 'anymore' and 'no more'. Ki has a larger usage, it doesnt mean anything itself alone. It can be used as an adjective addition like 'yanımdaki kız'(the girl who is next to me). or as a conjunction meaning 'so that, that..' like 'ev o kadar büyük ki, içinde bir çok insan yaşayabilir'(the house is so big that so many people can live in it) i hope i could explain well :)

Hi, Tobias:
I have built a website that currently has about 250 Tables (each about 10-50kb in size, avg. 20-25kb). Is there a physical, or desirable, limit at which TablePress, or WordPress for that matter, will either be unable to accept more, or will show serious performance issues? I plan to add another 500, and possibly another 300-500 every quarter.
Thanks for your response,

I was glad the Las Cruces City Council didn't pass the measure creating an 18-member advisory panel on the minimum-wage issue.
The advisory panel would have included two persons from each of: the Catholic Diocese, Communidades en Accion de Fe (CAFE), Community of Hope, the Restaurant Workers Union, the Progressive Voters Alliance and the County Democratic Party.
I didn't understand the need for a panel — particularly panel dominated by folks on one side of the issue.
We elect city councilors to make decisions. They're meant to make even controversial decisions that may make a large minority (or a majority) of city voters angry. Comes with the territory. You don't get to punt.
Councilors would rightly point out that even with the panel, they'd retain decision-making powers. Routine citizen input includes oral statements meetings and work-sessions, letters, and even more complex written submissions. What could the panel say that such input couldn't? Nothing.
If they want a panel, why not a panel of economists, social scientists, political scientists, and business and labor leaders, along with a judge or lawyer?
By the way, I got that list of proposed panelists in the second paragraph wrong. Of those groups, only CAFE was on the list. The proposed members also included builders, six business owners, the three chambers of commerce, business professors, and the "Hotel, Restaurant and Tourist Industry."
Plenty of business people on the panel, including three business profs; but no economists or social scientists.
In short, the proposed panel is stacked.
Greg Smith and Miguel Silva are smart fellows. They must have noticed the proposed panel's business orientation.
Apparently the panel's purpose was not merely to help reach a conclusion, but to create a process in which both sides would necessarily talk to each other. A collaborative process that might help citizens find some common ground. "The last time we brought this up, we divided the community. This approach provides an opportunity for collaboration rather than division," Silva said.
Businesspersons on the panel, in their investigation and information-gathering, would necessarily hear directly from minimum-wage workers. The process of creating a reasonable basis for the panel's advice would require different segments of the community to talk to each other. (A more balanced panel would help.)
Does that purpose makes the panel worthwhile? I still think it's cumbersome and probably adds little to other forms of discussion. However, it failed on a 3-3 vote, in Mayor Miyagashima's absence, and he'll likely favor it, so we'll see.
On the merits of raising the minimum wage locally? On balance, I tend to favor it, but I'll listen to the discussion with interest.
Economic studies tend to suggest it'd be a wise move.
But I've been thinking about what I heard from a lady who called the radio show recently. She runs a small, local day-care center. New and untrained workers she pays less than the proposed minimum wage. Labor is her business's main expense. If the minimum wage went up, so would her rates, which might price her services out of range for a lot of working parents.
Do we raise the minimum wage and by how much are not the only issues. Should the ordinance include a cost-of-living or other automatic annual increase? Should the hike take effect immediately, at some later date, or gradually? Councilor Silva spoke highly of Albuquerque's ordinance as particularly well thought out.
In any case, this is an issue we'll hear a lot about this year — during the next month in Santa Fe, most of the year in Washington, and for at least several months in Las Cruces. At the most recent Municipal League meeting in Seattle, city officials from around the country listed it as a major issue they'd be working on in 2014.
We should keep in mind that while raising the minimum wage would almost certainly be a good step toward helping more working families surmount the poverty level, (1) it will likely cause some problems initially and (2) it won't really address the terrible economic inequality in our country.
Our economic inequality now resembles third-world countries. Here, CEO's make about 350 times the salary of the rank-and-file worker in their companies. That ratio is about 200 in Canada, 147 om Germany, and between 58 and 93 in several other major countries I looked at. It's also way higher than in the U.S. a few decades ago. Locally, 30 percent of families in this county are said to live in poverty.
Why should we care? This extreme leaves poor folks less healthy and more in debt; it makes for more crime and less democracy; and it impedes economic growth.
I'm glad Las Cruces is looking at the issue carefully rather than just jumping in; but they don't need a special panel of businessfolk, each of whom could step up to the microphone with the rest of us. If they want such a panel, use it to help counsel small businesses on how best to survive the impact of the change.

Published on August 29, 2012
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
today notified the CF community and health care providers about a potential
safety concern for cataract development in children with CF who are taking
The FDA has directed the manufacturer of Kalydeco, Vertex
Pharmaceuticals Inc., to conduct a clinical study to assess the risk of
cataracts in children who are on the drug. A cataract is a clouding of the lens
in the eye that can affect vision.
The FDA's action was based on recent
results from a laboratory study of Kalydeco. In the study, cataracts were seen
in juvenile rats treated with the drug. It is unknown whether this study is
relevant to assessing the risk to children, since there are differences in eye
development between humans and rats.
According to Vertex, there have been
no reports of cataracts among children or adults with CF who are currently
taking Kalydeco or among those who participated in the Phase 3 trials of the
drug prior to its approval in January 2012.
Until further information is
available, it is recommended that people with the G551D mutation of CF who are
currently taking Kalydeco continue with their treatment.
People with CF
who have questions about the FDA announcement should talk with their CF
physician or health care provider.

Alexander, Rucker, Quinn, Sharman, Medley, Ehart, Rice, Tinsley, Page.
Establishing Alexander surnames in Orange County, then Culpeper County, Virginia, focusing on deeds that describe locations in the Fork of the Rappidan River, specifically Elk Run. Followed the Thomas Rucker line since they were neighbors of James Alexander, and followed the names of families that married into James Alexander's family, Thomas Rucker, John Tinsley, John Henderson, and William Crawford.
Most records were obtained from The Library of Virginia searchable database on early Deeds in the Northern Neck, Wills, & Religious Petitions. Researchers from all the families named have posted information online that provide invaluable records for these early Virginia residents.

1748 Culpeper County was formed from Orange County, by an act of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1748.
William Alexander, mentioned in the following record, an as-yet-undetermined relative of the James Alexander family, was in Bromfield Parish, Culpeper Co., VA years before James Alexander purchases land in this very neighborhood from Nicholas Ware. This 1754 Culpeper William is the first hint of Alexanders outside of Augusta County after the designation of Culpeper County in 1748. The Sharman family of Robert, his wife Lucy, and daughter Ann show up as a constant link in the court records of Darby Quinn, Benjamin Head, William Alexander and other nearby neighbors.

These names show up in various deeds in the Elk Run, Rappidan area that James Alexander & family settled into. William Alexander, first referred to in Dec 1754 is not on the above tax list, although William was in the neighborhood of James Alexander witnessing various events. Yet William was never referred to as 'of Culpeper.' Notice that these names are almost a first rate list of early Wilkes/Elbert Countians.
Culpeper County, Virginia Deeds, Vol. III Deed Book D (1762-1765), pp.542-545.
17 Sep 1764 Michael Rice of Culpeper County, carpenter, to James Alexander of same, planter. For L55 current money. 250 acres, being part of 500 acres Henry Rice bought of Robert Andrews as by record of Spotsylvania court...
Michael (x) Rice Mary (x) Rice
Witness: Robert Sharman, Lucy (x) Sharman, Ann (AS) Sharman.
20 Sep 1764 Acknowledged by the parties. Mary was first privily examined.
After James & Elizabeth Alexander settle into their new home, 1760-1769, the remaining half of the original 500 acre parcel purchased of Robert Andrews by Henry Rice in Spotsylvania County is sold to John Tinsley and his wife Sarah Parks by the descendants of Henry Rice. The John Tinsley family becomes the Alexander family's close neighbors and Mary Tinsley, daughter of John Tinsley married George Alexander in 1778.
Culpeper county Will Books B & C: pg 19,
22 Apr 1777 Inventory of estate of Daniel Brown, appraisers, Jonathan Underwood, James Alexander, William Rucker.
Will Book B & C, 1770-1783, pg 19. Inv. & Appr. recorded 22 Apr 1777. James Alexander was one of the estate appraisers for Daniel Brown and apparently no one else! James simply did not involve himself in this level of civic responsibilities. It could mean that 'he kept himself to himself' or that he wasn't related close enough to anyone nearby to be invited to handle the more personal aspects of a family grieving their dearly departed.
1782 Land Tax
James Jett & Alexander Waugh, Commissioners of the Tax for the County of Culpeper 1782
The Land Tax returned by John Hume and Alexander Waugh, Jr.,
District Commissioners for the year 1782.
William Alexander, 125 acres
James Alexander, 125 acres
Abraham Ahart, 100 acres
William Crawford, 200 acres
Assuming that William Alexander above is the son of James Alexander begs the question of why George and his bride Mary Tinsley aren't given 1/2 the acreage of James Alexander's property instead of William Alexander.....is this an oldest son issue, or the son who married first?....or this is another William Alexander? Or if George is the older son, is he the assumed heir of his father's 125 acre holdings?
1783 Property Tax
By this 1783 Property Tax enumeration, there were no Alexanders listed in Culpeper County except for the family of James Alexander with his sons George and William. His sons-in-law Joseph Henderson, William Rucker and Oliver Crawford who had married James' daughters Mary and Elizabeth and Lucy are also listed. Males of 16 years also listed in each household. The following households are picked from the larger tax list and I have added family information;
Head of household:
George Alexander m. Mary Tinsley in 1778, Culpeper Co., VA..
James Alexander m. to Elizabeth since 1748.
William Alexander m. Frances Rucker in 1782.
William Cafford, Olson (Oliver)Cafford. Oliver married Lucy Alexander in 1786.
Leroy Canady m. Sarah Wait. chosen by James Alexander for the settlement of his estate, recorded in Madison County.
Joseph Early, owned land on Elk Run, near the Alexander family; by 1805 when this property was sold by his heirs, it was in Madison County, VA; A George Alexander witnessed the deed. Joseph Early died in this year, 1783, the very year he was elected to represent his vicinity in the Virginia Legislature.
Michael Ehart m. to Katherine Lesch; was father of Catherine Ehart who m. George Rucker.
Abram Ehart, (a covering horse) son of Michael; also serves as a witness to James Alexander's will in 1803. Michael Ehart bequeathes his land next to James Alexander to his son Abram Ehart.
Joseph Henderson m. Mary Alexander, dau of James & Elizabeth Alexander.
William Rucker m. Elizabeth Alexander, dau of James & Elizabeth.
John Rucker m. Julianne, daughter of Joseph Early.
George Rucker m. to Catherine Ehart, dau of Michael Ehart.

Will of Esther Rucker of Bromfield Parish, Culpeper Co.
Dated 12 June, 1779. Proven 15 Nov 1779.
Part of index to Culpeper County Wills and Administrations (1749 - 1800) p. 135. Inv. & Appr. rec. Aug. 15, 1785.
Will Book C, 1783-1791 p. 343-344. Will pro. 15 Nov. 1779.
Will of Ester Rucker,12 June, 1779, Legatee: sister, Frances Rucker. Executors: Brothers, William Rucker, Joseph Rucker. Witnesses: William Rucker, Elizabeth Rucker, Joseph Rucker.
Inventory and Appraisal of Estate of Esther Rucker, dec'd. Recorded 15 Aug 1785. Conducted by William Alexander, Edward Herndon, Joseph Henderson.
Esther Rucker originally made her Will out to her sister Frances Rucker, still single in 1779. By the final estate recordings, Frances has married William Alexander and it is he that helps conduct the inventory and appraisal of his deceased sister-in-law, Miss Esther Rucker.
22 Dec 1783; Orange County, Marriage date of John Page, Jr., and Mary Collins, Jr., daughter of Mary Collins who consents to marriage. John Page, son of John Page Sr., and Elizabeth Page. Surety William Alexander. John Page, Jr. & Mary Collins, both of St. Thomas Parish, Orange Co., VA.
Regarding this record, not enough info to make a call on which William Alexander this is.....could be either the earlier William affiliated with the Quinns and Sharmans, or this is William, James Alexander's son, who has some connection to these Collins' or Pages. If this is James' son William Alexander, then this record is the first with his name associated with Orange County acquaintances.
Early Virginia Religious Petitions
November 2, 1785, Culpeper, Against assessment bill: Samwell Cary, William Alexander, Martin Nalle, Robt Stuart, John Strother, Wm Hill, Adam Snyder, John Broyle, Rupart Hill, Ambross Powell, Ephraim Rucker, Stephen Haynes, Charles Hume, Jacob Ward, Robt Alcock, Francis Kirtley, Jeremiah Kirtley, John Forrister, Thomas Sampson, Elijah Kirtley, Jasper Haynes Jr., Joseph Strother, Alpheus Beall, Isaac Dunaway, William Butter, John F.

Portor, Andrew Glassill..........Petition from Culpepper referred to Committee on the Bill concerning Religion.
This record shows the actual signatures of James and his son George Alexander, with William Alexander signing the petition among the first few signers. The tax records indicate that there was no 'extra' William Alexander in Culpeper County in 1783 or 1787.
1787 Land Tax
List of the Land Tax within the District of Goodrich Lightfoot, Commissioner in the County of Culpeper for the year 1787. (George Alexander, son of James, is not listed below as a land owner, although he was the Head of Household in 1783. William is listed as a property owner who owed taxes, however, the entire 250 acres were sold as property of the Estate of his father, James Alexander. William was renting?)
James Alexander: 125 acres
William Alexander: 125 acres
Abraham Ahart: 100 acres
Michael Ahart: 311 acres
Rapidan Baptist Church Records: George Eve wrote in 1796 in the front of one of the church minute books... "the spirit of emigration took place at the Ragged Mountains, many of our members emigrated to Georgia and Kentucky. Some of our members excommunicated in the beginning of the year 1788..."
