The original content for this article was contributed by The National Institute for Genealogical Studies in June 2012. It is an excerpt from their course US: Newspaper Records by Rhonda McClure. The Institute offers over 200 comprehensive genealogy courses for a fee ($).
Legal Notices
The courts have long used the newspapers to disperse information. Even today the newspaper is used to publish information from the courts about pending cases, or unpaid taxes, or attempts to notify heirs in a probate case.
It is these legal notices that often give genealogists some of the best information possible in their research. It could be that the announcement of the probating of an estate identifies the heirs by name and where they are currently living, including the married names of daughters. Divorce proceedings may give additional background information, or at the very least supply you with much needed dates of filings and final settlements. And while we hate to admit it, some of our ancestors may have been involved in more criminal proceedings and the papers often share information about those trials, both in the traditional legal notices as well as general articles.
Land Sales to Pay Taxes or Creditors
Very often you will see sheriff's sales when land is being sold to pay of creditors against the estate of a deceased individual. This doesn't always indicate that the deceased died without any money. In some instances the will of the deceased may stipulate that all of his land be sold first to pay his just debts and then the remainder to be distributed among his heirs.
Sheriff's Sales of Estate Lands
Gettysburg Compiler, March 21, 1821, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Estates and Heirs
Usually we find much more in the newspaper about the administration or execution of an estate, or we see that the courts have used the newspapers to alert the public about such appointments or the appointments of guardians. Every so often we see an announcement alerting the heirs or the creditors that they must come forward so that the estate can be finalized or the appraisement begun.
These notices serve to alert the public to whom they should be directing inquiries to if they have questions or debts to resolve.
| Administrator's Notice
Parties indebted to the estate of D.H. Mapother, or Hart and Mapother, are requested to come forward and settle at once; and parties to whom the estate is indebted are requested to have their claims properly proven and presented to
No two counties handle their notices the same when it comes to alerting creditors or heirs of a probating estate. Republican Register, January 20, 1829, Hamilton, New York.
Another announcement that is often found in the paper is that alerting the community to the appointment of a guardian. The guardian is appointed to protect the interests of a minor child, even when the mother is still alive in many instances. The guardian must report to the court at intervals as to money held in trust for the minor child, which is usually a child under the age of twenty-one, until that child reaches the age of majority. Such notifications may lead you to additional court records that indicate the names of parents or additional siblings and may help you in determining when the child was born.
Announcement of Guardian

Planning officials approved the scheme submitted by trustees of Henry Dent-Brocklehurst's estate because they could find no legal case to refuse it.
But some councillors questioned why the building had to be positioned so close to a nearby home and claimed that neighbours were getting a "raw deal".
The application states that the barn, in the grounds of Sudeley Castle, near Cheltenham, Glos, would be used to store agricultural equipment.
Yesterday, Rob Vines, a councillor, said: "There was an unneighbourly aspect to this application, though we can't refuse it in planning terms."
He felt that a neighbour at St Kenelm's Chapel was getting "a raw deal over the matter from a visual point of view".
Sudeley Castle was once home to Katherine Parr, the widow of Henry VIII, and provided a refuge for Charles I during the Civil War. Today, it is owned and managed by Mr Dent-Brocklehurst, 45, a film producer, his sister, Mollie, and their American mother, Lady Ashcombe.
Since taking over the property the family have caused controversies with proposals to move footpaths and develop tourist attractions in the grounds of the castle, where Liz Hurley married Arun Nayar in 2007.
Members of the planning committee of Tewkesbury borough council were told that the proposed barn was 44ft from a neighbouring home. Ron Allen, a councillor, suggested it could be built elsewhere and although John Evetts, the committee chairman, said the council would make the request, it was not something it could insist on. A neighbour of St Kenelms Chapel, understood to be owned by Biddy Wells, said: "It's really Biddy against the Sudeley estate, and around here that's not a good position to be in."
The planning application said: "A derelict barn which had been used for storage was allowed to fall into disrepair and has become unusable.
"This application is for the replacement of a barn built on a like-for-like basis, using similar dimensions and a basic structure that will not impact on the surrounding area.
"The building needs to be sited at this particular site as it will be used in conjunction with the surrounding woodland maintenance programme that is under way."

You're so right Bart! After I posted this thread I did go to the website and was surprised that not one mention is made of all the great analog stuff they actually carry. I did send them an email asking about it and this was the reply from Mr. Fred Silvers-Originally Posted by gr82bart
Thank you very much for your compliment regarding our darkroom inventory.
Due to the amount of work necessary in the up-keep of the web versus the
demand for the product, we don't include darkroom supplies.
We'll be happy to help you with any of your darkroom needs."
I wonder if camera store managers worry that advertising or otherwise making it known that they carry "that old, obsolete, darkroom stuff" might make them look less hip, slick, and cool to the general buying public?
Will the analog "contraband" soon be hidden in small back-rooms of our favorite camera stores?

Notes: Size: 46 x 42 inches
This preliminary geologic map is an interim geologic map product prepared to document the progress of mapping the surficial geology of Whitley County, Indiana. Mapping was extended westward outside the Whitley County boundary to aid in unit correlation and interpretation. The shaded area will be mapped as part of 2013 STATEMAP project. The map area is contained within the region formerly occupied by the Huron-Erie Lobe and Erie Lobe ice streams in northeastern Indiana. The map area is underlain by unconsolidated deposits of Pleistocene and Holocene age that range from 150 ft to at least 300 ft thick. Landforms and near-surface sequences in the map area record complex interactions and relations between the Huron-Erie and Erie Lobes during late Wisconsin glaciation.

To get in more water and stay cool during this weather I make a lemonade slushie with lemon juice or fresh lemon, ice and a little splenda. Blend well and pour into a tall glass with a straw. Its refreshing, less than 100 calories, sweet and more liquid for your daily intake..
To lose weight, don't drink pop, diet or otherwise. It expands your stomach walls. IF you drink, make sure : no carbonation and no more than 8 grams of sugar in the ingredients. Minute Maid Light Lemonade & Cherry Limeade with ICE....0 sugar, 5 calories. So next time you get thirsty? Check that out OR Fuze Slenderize 10 calories 1g sugar, or Lifewater, check to see what the sugar is in it. So other than coffee or tea, those are great options.
I keep a small box of Truvia (stevia plant all natural sweetener) in my purse, and an individual packet of Truvia in my wallet. When I eat out, rather than order the sugary lemonades offered on the menu ( which are usually made by mixing lemonade syrup and water), I order a large glass of water and lemon wedges. Then I squeeze the lemon wedges and add Truvia to my water - VOILA! I have made my own healthy, served-to-taste lemonade! (and I saved money!)
I have a very sweet tooth but not for chocolate so much more for hard boild sweet. I find if you freeze grapes (White grapes are my favourite) you can then suck on them like boiled sweets.

I never knew following dreams could be this lonely,
But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me.
If the tears will fall, let them be;
I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.

God is always love
Forever seek the kingdom;
Praise the creator
Keep giving what you can give
Please endure until the end
Beautiful Heavens
Protecting the meek ones earth
Watching over us
Helping us to cope with life
Comforted with hope and trust
When you find rhythm
You find your hearts inner core
Celebrate the times
Make them better than before
Reminisce and dance all night

What did he mean
when he said
turn the other cheek?
Does it mean
violence isn't the answer
and peace is always the way?
Is it to deny the natural
carnal response?
To challenge the older laws
that have long been ensconced?
Maybe it's a come on
to the ungodly
"Give me what you got
I have no need to be afraid."
Maybe he meant
our bones are fragile
but our hope is not?
It shall never rust nor decay.
Surely a punch in the face
is no threat to one's life.
If a man put a gun to your wife
would you just let her die??
(surely life is precious
but God have mercy
should it come to this)
Should we cast down our weapons,
trade them for pruning hooks?
Is that what Jesus meant?
Or perhaps, maybe,
it begs you to take a deeper look.
and gaze at the wisdom God has sent.
Does it not surely mean that hatred
can't be snuffed out
by more hatred?
There are many trials we go through
but one thing we must know
is that love should always be sacred.
When he stated
Ye are the Light of the World
does that not imply
that the world itself is DARKNESS?
It's a gloomy forbidding place
with many pricks and thorns:
why add to the harshness?
For now it seems
we see through a glass darkly.
Having trouble deciphering
the passages and what they meant.
What about Romans 13
where it says, Execute vengeance
against those who do evil?
To whom is it referring
and to what extent?
Our limited understanding
leaves us grounded.
NOTE: This was written in response (and inspiration) to Liam McDaid's poem titled Thou Shalt Not Kill. It's a very fascinating topic, and one where I don't quite have answers...

I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,
"I Do Believe"
The purpose of LIFE is to {Living In Faith Ever}
to enrich God within us
to an optimum level
so that We as Humans
can be guided by God
to fuel out brothers and sisters
with the same driving force
to connect with the living God,
to His existence and
to See the Invisible,
Believe the Incredible, and
to Receive the Impossible
to our everlasting journey
to Heaven.

I am Reality's angel
resting on the broad shoulders of discovery
the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target
ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you
there is a creator of all things
He is just and patient
many still have fallen into the masses of shadow
wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy
I have seen grown men fall like rose petals
and weaklings rise into unjust leaders
forever the follower of furtive evil
dominating only to remain inferior
the most important answers lie in the unseen regions
where no sense can fully give assurance
the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn
grows weary because of the distance it must take
and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates
it is knowing we are seeking something far
that could very possibly not exist,
that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense
it is knowing all we really think we know
is meaningless
and yes—even a lie
all that has been written thus far rests under my wings
under the warmth in which you refuse to feel
can you believe in me—
though I am completely unseen?
how much more difficult would it be to see

God of Light
I awaken
In the dark of night,
And face my lord
The God of Light
Who guides me
Thru the haze of pain,
And takes on him
My guilt and shame
My comfort
As he takes my hand,
And shows me
How to rise and stand
Sinless, blameless
Once again,
Because He chose
To call me friend
A wretched man
Though I may be,
He offers fellowship
To me
I lay no claim
To being just,
He gives me grace
In trade for trust
For any man,
Without the mercy
Of "I Am"
The song of God
Is in my ear,
Calming each
And every fear
He sings
His weary child to sleep
This loving shepherd
To his sheep
Protected from
All earthly harm
As I slumber
In his arms
No longer frightened
By the night
My father
Is the God of Light

Because tears are meant
To be a symbol of strength
Even in hard days.
It's hard doing something different.
It's difficult staying yourself.
In a world so accustomed to conformity,
It feels nearly impossible to be unique
As the one He created you to be.
How do we find the strength?
How do we find the courage?
How do we find the bravery?
Where do we defeat fear?
Well, He's hanging on The Cross
Giving life to you and me.
Thank You Jesus!
Let us not forget
With Christ,
Nothing is impossible,
For with God,
All things are possible!
Thank You Father!
Thank You!
We give our lives to You!
We are Yours!
Praise You forever
And forevermore!

Only light can penetrate the
that resides in the default state
of mind
I descend from beta to delta
binaural beats; instantly caught
between frequencies beyond
I absorb amplitudes of acoustic
and I learn to just be earth
Since I am the earth
and because I am of
the one that is the source of its
I've owned the power of
I realize now that I AM because
HE is since I am from that, a
Created in the image of a
and a feeling from the
Universal Mind
I tune in to this vibration from
pulse that manipulates
subconscious minds
Immersed between 4 and 7
brainwaves halt to a conscious
All chakras are aligned shining
crown energy
and now my consciousness
begins to reap!
and light begins to penetrate
the harmonious beams
that were already there
constant and always there
is now flooded with sound
that force brainwaves to submit
to power
of omnipresent sound that
always was
and always will be connected to
the Source from which I came
so I extend exponentially
physical time and space
I long to embrace the intensity
of gamma rays
I give way to the coded sounds
that resonate from the inner
and continue to connect
through the binaural beats that
remind me of before
Always familiar but ignored
until found by gaining
knowledge of self
I listen with the intent to excel
while reaping an abundance of
benefits and rewards
It's already yours
Just reach out and grab it
as long as intention and ego is
the universe will correspond
it will deliver a life to you divine
and orderly
Just listen to the sounds that
were there from before
They will guide to to the
vibration from the core
and it will guide you to connect
directly with the source
In His Arms, He holds me tight
And whispers sweetness in my ear.
It's everything I've been longing to hear:
"Everything will be alright."
It's not a lesson to be taught
Or a skill to be acquired
It's the nudge to move forward
Open when the time is right
It's the spirit inside
God leading on the way
On the journey to discover
He is all you need
It's the courage to let go
Say yes instead of no
Reveal what you've been holding back
As Jesus takes the wheel
It's the realization that it doesn't matter
What others think of you
God leads you where you're meant to be
Just allow you to be you
It's the standing up to fear
Proclaiming "fear's not gonna win!"
The battle has been fought too long
Time to let the stalemate end
It's the inspiration you've been holding
For others and for yourself
The light we've been dimming
Rather than shining on His behalf
It's the spontaneity in the decision
To follow His call all the way
Discovering peace in being you
Wide open as the perfect creation you are
The world out there is brutal
But there's a Holy Man holding out His Hand
His bravery now is all we have
But His bravery of love is all we need
May God bless you!
My younger days, I had naught.
At least, that was what I thought.
Fame and riches, the goals I sought.
Wanting only things that could be bought.
Day after day, for them I fought;
And in the game, I was caught
In the cold and ruthless life I'd wrought.
As life progressed, I began to see
That not all things had price or fee,
The most beautiful things are truly free,
Hope and joy, compassion and empathy,
Someone to love and to love me.
And in my quiet moments, I began to plea;
And so, my true happiness came to be.
Others could share in this lesson too.
You can believe my words are true;
But it seems a lesson valued by few.
Instead of a life and memories you rue,
Reappraise your life and what you do.
It's never too late to renew
Your life and be…….. a happier you.

God, my ears are open
And I know what to do.
Please help me to make a decision
That finally leads to You.
My best friend
Is your best friend too!
He died for me;
He died for you!
Our love grows stronger,
Even beyond the distance,
Even beyond the days.
I know you're with me always
And I'm always with you;
In God together we're together forever
And physically we'll be together forever soon.
Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn't life enough?
My heart is on Your shoulders,
And You are lifting me up.
With every spoken tender gesture,
I fall a little farther in love.
I've watched the war from behind closed doors;
Eyes too glued to close.
And now knowing what's in store, there's porn no more.
God's love is the only hope we know.
We are forgiven because of the love that is Jesus.
We are saved because of the love that is Jesus.
We give our lives to the Father for we are His children and He loves us.
We are loved!
No matter what we've done, we are loved!
Confess and ask for forgiveness;
This is such a beautiful gift!
Thank You God!
Thank You Jesus!
You forgive me!
You save me!
You change me!
I am changed!
I am new!
I am renewed!
I am forgiven!
I am saved!
I am changed!
There's porn no more
For God's hope is in store!
There's porn no more
For God's love is the hope of the world!
Before we were thought of or time had started,
God put US in His Son's name..
And each time we pray, you'll see its true,
You can't spell Jesus without including US.
Were a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For US, He was born;
And His great love for US is the reason He died.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with US in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew, egospelexpress
And His resurrection was for US.
As JesUS left the earth with His wonderful ascension,
When He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
that I love them all - Just like I love you."
So many people are Christian brothers and sisters,
Don't all the others have a right to know JesUS too?
It all depends on what we do,
He'd like them all to know,
But it all starts with US.

God, please heal this broken soul
And tell me where to go
Because I don't know where to go.
Into Your Arms,
I give my all
Because You're the Only One
Who can catch my fall.
Poorly heated coffee;
I can't seem to get it hot enough.
Tired eyes still rolling,
Film draped for dreaming.
This last Summer Saturday,
Might as well call it Fall.
The pumpkins out and jumping,
Future jack-o-lanterns for fun.
Gentle breeze cascades,
Every once in a while a poof.
Sunny sun still sunning;
Please don't ever go away.
Time to heat up the coffee;
My goodness this is good!
So open arms and lean back;
God is so, so good!
Omniscient guy
Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?
Every second we're away,
We grow stronger everyday
Until that day will finally come
When we know it's okay
And we will rest in each other's arms
In peace from God above,
No longer missing one another
Because we're together;
Built forever in each other's love.
I don't have all the pieces together;
This puzzle is just too much,
But God already has it figured out
As He is solving this from above.
By my side:
The tallest mountain,
The calmest pond,
The purest stream;
My hope and strength,
Faith and love;
The Lord,
Our God,
Always by our side

LA HABRA – Fourteen thousand ears of corn.
And the La Habra Corn Festival sells out every year.
Tens of thousands are expected at this weekend's 64th annual festival and parade, hosted by the La Habra Host Lions Club at El Centro-Lions Park, 320 E. Erna Ave.
Though it draws big-city-size crowds, the three-day festival has all the fixings of a hometown country fair: High school bands, a Corn Festival queen and her court, packs of scouts, local dance schools homemade parade floats, corn eating, of course, cutest-baby contests and carnival rides.
Some 200 groups, dignitaries and superheroes – Batman, Robin and Catwoman with the Batmobile – will trundle along in the two-hour parade that travels along La Habra Boulevard, between Idaho and Cypress streets, starting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
This year's theme is "As American as Baseball and Apple Pie": The three grand marshals will be the Dodgers: pitcher Luis "Javy" Guerra and Spanish-language broadcast announcers Jaime Jarrin and Pepe Yñiguez.
Yñiguez is from La Habra, and his daughter has been a Corn Festival princess.
Lou Pizarro from TV's "Operation Repo" and Gary Bryan from KEARTH 101-FM are other celebrities who will ride in the parade, as well as Snoopy and Elvis – in the form of a professional impersonator from Las Vegas who will also be one of the performers on the entertainment stage over the weekend.
The Corn Festival's hours: 5:30 to 11 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.
The Race for the Corn is 7:45 a.m. Saturday; contests are held throughout the weekend; and the winner of the popular car raffle – this year for a fully restored 1979 VW Super Beetle convertible – will be Sunday evening.
See the schedule and more information at lahabracornfestival.com.

Eric: A Novel of Discworld (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Discworld's only demonology hacker, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest of Ankh-Morpork's denizens. This would-be Faust is very bad . . . at his work, that is.All he wants is to fulfill three little wishes: to live forever, to be master of the universe, and to have a stylin' hot babe.
But Eric isn't even good at getting his own way. Instead of a powerful demon, he conjures, well, Rincewind, a wizard whose incompetence is matched only by Eric's. And as if that wasn't bad enough, that lovable travel accessory the Luggage has arrived, too. Accompanied by his new best friends, there's only one thing Eric wishes now--that he'd never been born

With talented players both young an old appearing as if from nowhere, we are already fielding three very successful senior teams, a ladies team, and two junior teams in the Leinster Cricket leagues and cup competitions. For those of us of more advancing years and weakening knees, we also have an active Taverners team who have made Friday evenings entertaining for all concerned.
Members - check out fixtures, results, latest news and much more. If you have any great photos for our gallery or news for our newspage then make sure you share them with us!

My commuter bike is locked to a rack in direct sunlight all day long. I've noticed what seems to be pretty rapid UV damage to the sidewalls of the tires -- drying and cracking of the rubber. This is happening faster than the tread is wearing.
And so my question: with my next set of commuter tires, does it make sense to apply a UV protectorant, such as 303 Aerospace or Armor All, to the sidewalls (not the treads!)? Anyone else do this? Any drawbacks or safety concerns?

Julie Batten | March 30, 2009 | Comments
The multimedia software developer shares best practices on preparing Flash pages for search engine optimization.
In the column, "Is SEO Your Priority? Avoid All-Flash Web Sites," I explained why online marketers should avoid sites that exclusively use Flash multimedia software.
Instead, I said it's OK to use some Flash as long as you follow SEO (define) best practices. But I failed to actually tell you what those best practices are.
Kindly, a developer at Adobe responded and pointed out some recent posts he's made at Adobe's SEO Technology Center on optimizing Flash for SEO. The mandate of this new resource site, which launched March 13, is to "help explain current SEO challenges and provide practical steps, examples, and best practices to overcome them."
So as a follow-up to my previous column, let's explore what the Adobe SEO Technology Center is, what it offers users, and how you can potentially leverage it to enhance the indexability and searchability of your Flash content.
What Is Adobe's SEO Technology Center?
The technology center was created to give Flash developers a resource for how to ensure their end product is search engine-friendly. Adobe recognizes that while Google now indexes and crawls Adobe Flash content, it is not fail safe. Adobe also realizes that developers must still take extra steps to ensure that Flash is optimized as much as possible for search engines.
The center goes beyond just Flash and refers to rich Internet applications (RIAs) when talking about optimizing for SEO. Along with Adobe Flash, RIAs encompass a variety of other technologies and platforms, including Ajax, Curl, JavaFX, and Microsoft Silverlight.
While the technology center is primarily intended for developers, it's written in a way that resonates with marketers as well (i.e. someone like me). Although marketers may not understand all the technical jargon, they can interpret enough to take action and provide direction to their development teams.
What Does the Technology Center Offer?
The center is made up of a series of articles that provide actionable tips and tricks and step-by steps guides for developers to follow. While the amount of content is a bit lean at the moment -- having just launched this month -- I imagine Adobe will populate over the coming months.
The article, "Search Engine Optimization Techniques for RIAs," provides a strong rationale for the importance of considering SEO at the outset and throughout a Flash development project. As the author, Damien Bianchi, search strategist at GSI, says, the article "will help you answer one of the most important questions, and one that few people ask at the onset of a project: 'Oh, by the way, does the site work with search engines?'"
As he very correctly points out, search engine presence and rankings often aren't considered until after a beautiful, award-winning Flash site goes live and the client gasps, "Umm... how come our site isn't coming up in the search results?!"
Hallelujah! Somebody finally gets it!
As companies and agencies often operate in silos, marketing and technology initiatives are led by separate departments and may not be as coordinated as they should be. Bianchi's article insists that you make sure both are considered at the outset of a project.
He also outlines some key challenges that RIAs encounter with search engines, and then jumps into some key techniques for how to optimize SWF (define) applications for the engines.
But if you really want to get down to nitty-gritty techniques or tactics, the most useful article in my opinion is "Search Optimization Checklist for RIAs." This is an itemized guide that developers can follow to ensure they've given their SEO due diligence. For example, what specific actions should you take to ensure your Flash content is optimized for search?
Action items include:
Perhaps the biggest takeaway is, "make strategic design decisions." This recommendation points out: don't use Flash simply for the sake of Flash. Use it strategically to enhance the user experience, and be sure that you balance the needs of the user with those of the search engine in every decision you make. Ask yourself: Do you need to use SWF content in this instance? Can the same (or similar) effect be accomplished by another -- more search friendly -- method or technology?
What Will I Get From the Technology Center?
After reading the content, you should possess an understanding of the key techniques and methodologies for optimizing RIAs for SEO.
If you're a developer, you should come away from the site armed with tactical ways to integrate search engine optimization into your Flash development process.
If you're a marketer, you should now understand that SEO must be considered at all stages of Web site planning and development -- particularly at the outset.
Hopefully, your organization will avoid the fundamental misstep of past Flash sites -- not taking into account search engines until it's too late.

O, brothers, fathers, sons and creatures from the rib! Presenting your favourite DJ Bountyullah Marconi, straight from the heart of Khurasan among the habibis, from where the hordes of mujahideen would emerge to fight the end of World Wars.
O! Children of Swat, Kalam, Kanju town and Mam Dheri! Repent! The time hath cometh that thou shall renounce the lives of jahilia. Tune thy frequency to my sermons if thou seeketh salvation from thine sins. Heareth your shepherd and stay in line as good flock. Thou art stiff necked people, lest I consume thee with the fire of C4, come in droves to the path of the al Qaeda.
And it shall come to pass that I would impose 'Mullah Omar's Law' in the land of the pure and make it an Islamic Welfare State coveted by the scantily-covered-navel countries. Blessed art thou who sendeth thy children to our flock of Jedi's, and art dressed in robes of honour (khilat-e-fakhira) adorned with precious stones of C4 and cursed art thou who sendth thy children to schools.
Here are my commandments! Pay heed to them, let them relieve thee from thy sins lest my Kalashinov relieve thee from thy life. Follow my commandments and you will be chair lifted from Malamjabba to Paradise.
O, children of Kalamite, Swatihites, and Kanju town! 20th July will be celebrated for the great invention of Guglielmo Marconi, exalted member of Mussolini's grand fascist council.
1- Don't listen to the voice of satanic singers on TVs, CDs, computers. Shun these instruments of satan that stireth an appetite of lust unto thy hearts. Burn all CDs (all Dutch CDs must be handed over to your Jedi brothers). Only the radio frequency of thy favourite DJ is not forbidden unto you.
2- Keep the hair on thy face uncut. Anyone who puts a blade on a beard art friends of satan. Shun the barbers like lepers! And the beard shall come to pass through the lantern glass, if thou want thy bearded head unto thy shoulders. But put a blade on all other hair that are hidden.
3- Don't flyeth kites in the skies like the idolaters of the days of ignorance. Cut these strings of satan that sways paper into the sky like satan swayeth you. Also, thine kites obstruct the radio frequency.
4-O! Creatures from the rib! You must not painteth your nails and put on makeup to lead astray thy Jedi brothers. Cover thyself like Egyptian mummies.
5- You must not visit male doctors for ultrasound tests. Only the sound of yours truly is the remedy for thy wretchedness.
6- Thou shall not venture out from thy abodes without thy bloody relatives or my Jedi brothers. If you do venture forth in emergency, don't wear fancy footwear as that lights the fire of passion amongst thy Jedi brothers, lest your foot wear destoryeth my foot soldiers and sets them ablaze like the Ojri Camp.
7-You must not enter the bathroom with your right foot. Or thy Jedi brothers will drag you by the same foot to the road and giveth a burnt offering like the pious children of Bahawalpur.
8- You must not play football in the field wearing short trousers, instead train thine children of the Swatinites with lances, boxing and the art of horse riding.
9- O children of Kalamites, Swatintes, Kanju Town and Mam dheri! Tie your baggy trousers over thy navel, and tuck in thy trousers so thy ankles art naked … but creatures from the rib, though shalt cover your ankles and shall not wear anklets that produce sounds of satan.
10- Cover your heads with cloth turned clockwise as thou tieth your wounded fingers. If you are found without covered heads, offer 500 silver pieces to thy jedi brothers as atonement of your sin in the tradition of the Tuesday Garden.
Verily the day of the massacre of infidels is near. Doth you seeth the CDs of al Qaeda. Verily these art the signs that the seekers of peace seeth.

Re: User Preferences not saved in 10.6.8 in response to tbrucebowers
One thing you should not get het up about is the string of repairs consistently arising from repairing permissions. There are various reasons why this happens but the key to it all is the message at the end. "Permissions repair complete" in green writing means all is good.
One last thought. Have you updated your 10.6.8 via the combo update. If you haven't you should do.
tbrucebowers Nov 27, 2012 8:59 AM
Re: User Preferences not saved in 10.6.8 in response to seventy one
Thanks for the reply.
I have not installed that update manually, but I have run Software Update repeatedly until it says that I am up to date with all software.
I'm not concerned so much about the long list of repaired permissions. It's the problems I am having with user preferences that I described above that are making the machine a real pain. Do you have any suggestions for tracking down the cause of that problem?

Re: User Preferences not saved in 10.6.8 in response to tbrucebowers Helpful
It would seem to me that you haven't downloaded the 10.6.8 Combo update I recommended. The point I have in mind is that the software update you have been repeatedly applying is only updating the requirements of your original 10.6.8. not the 10.6.8 system you would have had, had you applied the Combo update.
One follows the other and in effect tidies up the system.
tbruce, I am hugely sysmpathetic to your plight but you have to sort out your system in strict order. The clean install of the OS should only take you to 10.6.3, after that you will need the Combo as a matter of course and then the security updates via software update.
I do have a problem because I am not acquainted with MacBook and that may be the difference. It does cross my mind to ask if you are the original owner, if it was bought with 10.6.8 and what "about this mac" says in terms of the version number after one of your clean reinstalls.

Re: User Preferences not saved in 10.6.8 in response to tbrucebowers Solved
First off, Permissions repair won't touch anything in your user. Stop repairing Permissions. Generally a waste of time anyway.
Do a GetInfo (Cmd-I) on the Preferences folder in your user (home folder) Library. What does it say for Sharing and Permissions?
It should show that you, your user, has Read and Write and everyone No Access.
I would suggest using the following procedure to reset your home folder Permissions, which may fix this problem.
- Boot from the Mac OS X Install Disc:
- Insert the disc.
- Shut down the computer.
- Turn it on again whilst holding down the C key.
You can let go when you see a spinning dial.
- Click through the menus until you after you've accepted a license agreement.
- Snow Leopard: At the top, click Utilities -> Reset Password.
Lion: At the top, click Utilities -> Terminal. Type resetpassword in the Terminal and press Enter.
- Click on your main hard drive.
- In the dropdown box under "Select the user account" make sure to select your username.
- Underneath where it says "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs", click the Reset button.
- Press cmd + Q to Quit the Reset Password application. Press it again if you have a Terminal open.
- Click Mac OS X Installer in the top left and click Quit Mac OS X Installer.
- Click the Startup Disk button.
- Click on your main hard drive and click the Restart button.
- Boot from the Mac OS X Install Disc:

GetInfo for my user Pref folder shows admin group (which I am one of) has R/W access.
The "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" did the trick.
Thank you. I had seen that suggestion in my searches, but had not got around to it yet. So, you get the points from me ;-) It even solved an ancillary issue I had with USB devices not communicating with appropriate applications. I've got a brand new squeeky clean computer now, thanks to the efforts of everyone here. Thanks.

'Full House': Where Are They Now?
Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler)
Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler)
Although Kimberly Louise Gibbler was a staple at the Tanner house, she didn't officially become a series regular until Season 5. At just 11 years old, Kimmy was one of TV's most iconic kooky neighbors, along with Howard Borden from "The Bob Newhart Show" and Phyllis Lindstrom from "Mary Tyler Moore." The fact that she had smelly feet and wasn't the brightest bulb might have annoyed some of the Tanners, but not Kimmy's best friend, D.J.
In real life, Andrea Barber has a thirst for knowledge. When "Full House" ended, she earned her undergraduate degree in English from Whittier College.
Barber, 36, sums up her current status on her Twitter profile, saying, "Mother. Wife. Runner. Ex-Gibbler. The neon tights are officially retired, people! But my love for NKOTB still prevails."
Kimmy's short-lived romance with Duane didn't pan out on "Full House," but "whatever." In real life, Barber married Jeremy Rytky in 2002. After they wed, the couple went off to England, where Barber received a master's degree in women's studies from the University of York.
These days, Barber is the stay-at-home mother of two children: 8-year-old Tate and 5-year-old Felicity Ruth. As she told Cori Linder of ModernMom.com, "I wanted to re-experience childhood through my kids' eyes. It was almost like I was reliving my childhood, which was kind of abnormal because I was working. But this time, I can experience a normal childhood through them."

By ORI MARTINS
A cursory look at Aminu Muhammed may not immediately reveal his potentials. But he is a budding primary school headmaster. With a lithe but seemingly frail gait, Aminu shares many physical attributes with former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, but you are not going to see him anywhere near army barracks or a military recruitment centre waiting for enlistment.
No, not at all! He is cut out for chalk, not for gun. He wants to teach and he wants to be a headmaster at the end of it all. A tall ambition for a cobbler, a 'shoe shiner,' an aboki! as Nigerians living down South know them? Not so. In fact, with his studentship at Jigawa State College of Education, you will not be faulted if you say he is already on his way to achieving his life ambition.
Calm but calculating; humble but ambitious and nomadic but organised, Aminu's encounter with Education Review is a confirmation of the fact that dynamite, indeed, comes in small sizes. It is all about the compelling story of a nomadic cobbler who is also a farmer and an undergraduate student. Artisan with a difference Aminu plies his trade in Ojudu area of Lagos and Akute in Ogun states.
Unlike his other colleagues who keep themselves untidy and disorganised, Aminu goes about his business in decent attire even as he comports himself as a cobbler with a difference. "You are not the only person who is telling me this," Aminu retorted when this reporter remarked about his neatness, comportment and the difference he observed in the way he goes about his own 'shoe-shining' (commercial shoe polishing).
"So many other persons have commended me on the way I am doing this business. In fact, one big Alhaji 'dashed' (gave me a tip of) N1000 (one thousand naira), after observing the way I was doing things. He said I am clean and intelligent, and advised me to work harder.
The first thing that attracts you to this Jigawa State-born artisan is his life of solitude. He does not move in groups with his fellow cobblers. "I have observed that moving with others slows me down," he answered when you raised the issue.
"Secondly, moving in group does not favour me much because jobs are shared when you are doing work as a body. You understand what I mean – you cannot do this, do the next and still do the third job in a row even if you are the one getting the work. Others have to share from the jobs you are getting because on the day you do not get enough, you will equally share from the ones your colleagues get. "But I do not enjoy this sharing formula because it favours the lazy man against the hard working.
This is why you see me working alone most of the time but I am not talking down on my brothers and colleagues," he insists. Aminu also stands out from the other cobblers because of his high level of professionalism.
He does his job diligently and virtually every customer he mends shoes or sandals for ends up commending his sense of craftsmanship. "My happiness is that people usually commend the job I do for them and most of them have collected my contact so that they can call me to do some home jobs for them," he noted. Asked how much he makes in a day, Aminu said: "On week days, if it is not raining, I make between N800 and N1000. But on weekends, it is about N1, 500. I think my best day is Sunday.
So many people polish or mend their shoes on Sundays." His articulate use of the words like "weekdays," "weekends" "if it is not raining" "I make between," his correct pronunciation of them, tells you that you are talking with someone of a higher mentality, of a more polished character than you used to meet in his other ilk in this trade.
A little further probe and your feelings get confirmed almost immediately. You are talking to an undergraduate. No wonder everything about him appears to be different. The difference that being educated makes! You will surely get to meet it somehow, sometime, somewhere no matter how hard they try to hide it! Even so, armed with such knowledge, it only increased your curiosity to know a bit more about the young man sitting before you and giving your shoes a perfect shine while you engaged him in small talks.
But try as hard as you want, you couldn't quite reconcile the fact that he is a student with the menial job he is doing at the moment to eke out a living, a job you've either rightly or wrongly, come to associate with people of low mentality. Aminu, the cobbler, the student Sensing that you have your doubts about his claims, Aminu, proudly but politely dips his hands into his pocket, brings out a plastic object and flashes before you. It turned out to be a school ID card. On it were these details: Jigawa State College of Education. Number: Edu/12/26114. School: Education. Combination: PES D/M. Exp Date: 2013.
"Like I earlier told you, I am a student of the Jigawa State College of Education," he said, as he made to put back the ID card from where he brought it out. "I have been there now for about two years. I am reading Primary Education because I hope to be a headmaster of a school in future. I am not an ordinary shoe shiner, I have a vision and I have a dream for myself.
I am here to make money to enable me pay my school fees, buy books and do other things." In the course of discussion, he revealed that his relative, a High Court judge in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, is the one encouraging him to read.
"I am a lucky man," he adds. "You know, when I see how he is being respected in the society ahead of his peers who cannot speak passable English, I then realised that education is the key and that is why you see me work harder, trying to make ends meet. Honestly, education is the key because it helps you to be free and bold." Jigawa farmer One peculiar trait about Aminu is that he speaks both English and Hausa fluently.
Describing himself as "a farmer in Jigawa and an artisan in Lagos," Aminu remarked: "Let me quickly tell you that this is not all that I do to help myself. Back home in Jigawa, I am a farmer and the farmlands belong to me. I cultivate farm produce like guinea corn, wheat, beans and groundnuts etc. You know this is not farming season. In the next one or two months I will go back to Jigawa to start work on my farms. I only do 'shoe-shining' job during non-farming period.
I am a farmer but a small-scale one. Of course, if I were making big money I would not have come to Lagos to do other jobs. It is since I started school that I found the need to combine farming and 'shoe-shining' jobs so as to raise money to pay my school fees and to buy books. I hope you know that the average Northerner is a farmer.
Even those who have retired from public services still go back to farming in one way or the other. Some do poultry farming; others go into animal husbandry while the other groups either go into cash crops or other forms of farming." Family man "I have a wife and five children – a boy and four girls," Aminu further reveals. "It is my wish to work harder to give my children the best of education.
Look at me, I am now 40 years and yet, waiting to get my first degree in a country where my age mates are in the presidency, Senate and state houses of assembly. Really, I would not be happy if my children do not do better than I am doing. Today, I have just one wife but I will marry more wives in the future if economy improves. I hail from Maigatari community in the Gumel Local Government Area and, by the grace of Allah, it is my dream for my people to remember me as one who did all he could to set a standard and improve the lots of all those around him." Jigawa College of Education Your discussion goes back to his school and it is really amazing how Aminu discusses it with effortless ease, telling its history and what it offers generally. "I think they said the college used to be in Kano until Jigawa State was created," he tells you.
"Luckily, Gumel where the college is situated is my local council, so I now asked myself: why would I not afford myself this great opportunity and enrol into the school? I made inquiries and I was told that those who want the direct NCE programme must pass their Senior Secondary School Certificate (SSCE) or GCE '0' level with credit passes in five subjects and they said English was compulsory, so I then went because my papers are okay.
There are other courses in which a credit in Mathematics is compulsory if you are going to read them. Other qualifications include Grade II Teachers' Certificate (TC II) and others I cannot remember now. It is said that candidates who want to get admission must write JAMB. This is all I know about the school's admission process and there is no wuru wuru (hanky-panky) about it."

Zenia H.
Massage Therapist "LMT"
"The most important thing to know, and I cannot express this enough to clients, is that each body and each person is different," says Zenia Hickson, an Arizona state licensed massage therapist.
What Zenia means by this is that there is no single treatment path that works for everyone. "I enjoy the challenge of helping heal the body and educating clients to better themselves the natural way," she says.
Zenia always harbored an affinity for the field of massage and bodywork. While she considered a career in bodywork while in high school, she ultimately decided to dedicate her time and hard work to raising her daughter ("my pride and joy") during the early stages of her life.
Before Zenia enrolled in her massage therapy training program, she never could have imagined that her professional path would be so helpful on a personal level. While attending school, her daughter developed asthma and acid reflux—uncomfortable conditions that were left unaffected by the prescriptions and specialists she sought.
Her teacher, who she now considers a mentor, first introduced Zenia to the ways in which massage therapy could help her infant daughter. Within two weeks, the benefits of light bodywork began to show; Zenia's daughter was off all of her medication and gaining weight. "It was a miracle to me that really opened my eyes to the great power of healing through touch," she says. "Massage changed my life completely, and I want to share that with others."

A report issued Tuesday by the state's Office of the Legislative Auditor exposed an ongoing discrepancy at a Minnesota horse-racing track in Anoka County that shorted race purses hundreds of thousands of dollars over five years.
In its findings, the 25-page report determined Running Aces Harness Park in Columbus was $436,000 deficient in purse contributions owed to horse owners between 2008 and 2012 because of an inaccurate interpretation of state law. The track has since corrected the problem.
Much of the blame assigned in the report went to the Minnesota Racing Commission for failing to adequately oversee the track's operations.
"We think that is kind of at the root of this," Legislative Auditor James Nobles said. "If the racing commission had been doing its job, this would have never happened."
Driving the discrepancy was a dispute over whether the 8.4 percent purse contribution required under state law be calculated from the track's "handle" or the "takeout," according to the report.
The handle is the amount collected from all betting pools. The takeout is the sum deducted from the handle by the licensee before winning bets are paid and is substantially smaller than the handle.
Running Aces was paying its purses from the takeout, which was a violation of state law, the report said.
The problem is the state law is confusing, and both Running Aces and Minnesota Harness Racing Inc.
Canterbury Park has long calculated its contribution based on the handle.
"I don't have any evidence of willful neglect here," Nobles said. "The law is not as clear as one would like it to be ... and the (Horsemen's Association) is complicit in this, too ... There is a lot of blame to go around."
A written statement provided by Running Aces stated the track has been working to address the discrepancy since it first became aware of it last year. It also called for a clarification of state law on the issue, a request also made in the auditor's report.
The organization has reportedly made past claims that while its purse contributions may have been low, other benefits it extended to horse owners made up the difference.
Representatives from the Horsemen's Association did not return calls for comment.
Given the shared responsibility for the oversight, the report states it may not be fair to require Running Aces to pay back the entire deficit, and that decision should be made by the racing commission.
Payback could prove difficult to sort out, given the multiple horse owners that may have been affected, Nobles said.
"I think the simplest approach would probably be to put this money in a pool for future horse winnings," he said.
The Minnesota Racing Commission intends to meet with both parties to try to work out a solution, said Thomas DiPasquale, executive director of the commission since December.
Both the executive director and deputy director in charge during the five years in question have left the commission, one for a job at Running Aces.
DiPasquale said the commission has spent the past several months trying to tighten up its oversight practices to ensure proper handling of purse contributions in the future.
"We have corrected our oversight and (Running Aces) has corrected its payments," DiPasquale said. "What we have left is a legacy issue that I think we can resolve relatively quickly, so long as the parties approach this in good faith."
The Minnesota House of Representatives Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the racing commission, will hold a meeting July 22 to review the audit, said Rep. Joe Atkins, chairman of the committee.
"Members on both sides of the aisle have been raising questions about this for some time," said Atkins, DFL-Inver Grove Heights. "We look forward to ... discussing the steps that need to be taken to prevent this from happening again."

Saddled with poor earnings, pensions, a struggling digital imaging business, and consumer printing business, Kodak seems to be driving it self to destruction by dismantling its patent portfolio piecemeal. I am actually very disappointed in its management's decision to do this. Seeing that they are still in litigation and awaiting the decision of the US International Trade Commission on infringement of their patents by Apple and RIM, their current decision to sell off now, may indicate that their patents may not hold up. This doesnt sound like it will end well at all. The end is near. =[
Before we go all "Chicken Little" over this, let's for a change take the time to read around and see what's on the table rather than vapor endlessly about the unknown.

Thanks so much for you comments and votes on the "coming" train!
Not to worry about my safety, I always make sure I am firmly standing against the wall before the start of the tunnel.
John (dudler) you really have me in high regard, that picture you mentioned is outstanding! I have tried to take a picture of the train running in the tunnel but the doors have reflective glass, and I will end up taking another accidental self-portrait!
I am swamped with work and also "killing a tiger" (matando un tigre) which is the expression here of getting a gig.
I will be more active commenting your pics and voting soon, I hope and don't get sick from so much work.

Quote: Don't laugh - I first thought this was a milking machine!

I see what you mean, they look like it!
The fares, like everything run by the government are heavily subsidized.
There is only one fare of Bs.1.50 which at the official exchange rate of Bs6.3/$ makes about 25 cents of dollar. However, at the black market exchange rate of Bs. 64.5/$ makes it about 2 cents of dollar. Private surface transportation costs about one dollar while the gallon of gas (which this oil country is importing...) costs about 10 cents, it is the cheapest in the world and one of the reasons the oil industry is bankrupt, unbelievably possible!
Thanks for commenting dear Kate, this gives me the chance of doing some explanation.

I keep reading things about contractions I turned 40 weeks yesterday. My baby is now over dued if he does not come out by the 9th their going to induce me. I have to check if he is okay on the 4th. I try everything to induce my labor I been active my whole pregnancy I stop work at 38 weeks I walk everywhere I can. I mean I walk everywhere I am a trooper lol. I guess my body is use to walking because that did not work. I ate fresh pineapples I think that brought on the false contractions. I had false contractions that last two hours Nov 29th then again on the morning of my due date that started at 1230 am. Today the day after my due date my contractions started at 11am they always start from my back so my back is in constant pain it is going on 9 hrs now. They are not strong now I can take the pain that is why I am typing now lol. It is my first pregnancy I am confused with these contractions and I do not know what my body is doing all I know he going come out when he wants. I am impatiently waiting for stronger pain if it even comes or if my water breaks if that even happens. I do not want to be induce unless I really have to so I hope he comes I read too much on being induce especially if it is not a health risk I know if he does not come by this week I have no other choice. (I do not want a c-section I am trying avoid that as much as possible) He will be getting too big and the fluid is going run out and the placenta will dry up. I hope my body goes into labor naturally. I pray lol these false contractions have been driving me nuts.
Contractions of not? Pass due date waiting for baby to come!
