Given the recent billion-dollar sale of Instagram, it's clear that the look of those faded, yellowed photos from the 1970s are all the rage. EPA, not usually known for having its finger on the pulse of pop culture, recently posted hundreds of its "Documerica" project photos on Flickr with just the right amount of early '70s patina. Best of all, these photos document the era right before the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts went into effect, a time full of belching factories, murky water and burning landfills. So bleak, so retro... oh EPA, you've stumbled into the hip and trendy!
It's perversely easy to wax nostalgic for the bad old days, and not just because the images are so captivating. Environmental problems were so much more apparent back then. Coal plants in the middle of cities were covering cars and homes with soot and rivers ran red with chemicals and dyes or just burst into flames. The problems were immediate and apparent. With the hard work of countless scientists, regulators and citizens horrified by such ecological disasters, massive cleanups spread across the nation. While there are certainly plenty of these big problems left -- point sources, as they're called in the eco world -- the real concerns today involve the slow, hidden, pervasive threats: the non-point sources.
For Earth Day we decided to highlight the difference between then and now with a few handpicked Documerica photos alongside a few photos of today's environmental challenges. Would an invisible "dead zone" inspire yesteryear's outrage if it were more photogenic? Would mountaintop removal generate more opponents if dynamite were blasting close to suburban towns instead of small mountain villages? Check out the photos and see for yourself.
Polluted effluent gushes straight from the International Paper Company's Androscoggin Mill into a Maine brook back in 1973. The Androscoggin River has seen big water quality improvements thanks to Clean Water Act regulations, but local activists say that while the mill, now owned by Verso, may be meeting its license requirements, the amount of polluted water flowing from its discharge pipes is still too high.

Back in 1973, the Fountain Avenue landfill was filling up with thousands of tons per day of New York City's trash, construction debris and asbestos incinerator ash (along with a few mob victims). Opened in 1961, the landfill leaked heavy metals, oil, pesticides and PCBs into Jamaica Bay. Today the landfill, although still technically classified as a toxic waste site, has been transformed into a 400-acre nature preserve with prairie grasses and trees.

The Atlas Chemical factory looms large over Texas pasture land in this 1972 photo. Black soot from the plant "covered everything nearby," and area farmer claimed he lost several cows due to the plant's soot and chemicals. Photo credit: U.S. National Archives
This Colorado cattle feedlot is an example of a "CAFO" (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation). In the last few decades, consolidation of food production has led us to where many of today's farms are in fact large industrial facilities, not the green pastures and red barns that most Americans living far from the nation's agricultural regions imagine. Just 2 percent of livestock farms raise 40 percent of all animals in the United States. These consolidated operations produce food in high volume but lead to excessive waste created by large concentrations of animals, often handled in ways that can pollute air and water. Nutrients and bacteria from this waste can contaminate waterways, killing fish and shellfish and disturbing aquatic ecosystems. Photo credit: Sustainable Table
Okay, so this is actually a satellite image of the Gulf of Mexico, not a photo, but can you spot the oxygen-depleted "dead zone?" Good luck, because it's largely an invisible phenomenon. Look for where the greenish-brown plume enters the gulf and you'll have located the Mississippi River. That plume is a natural, and essential, source of sediment for Louisiana's marshes, but it also indicates the invisible presence of mass quantities of nutrients from fertilizers -- the root cause of the gulf's dead zones -- that have run off of industrialized farms within the Mississippi River's watershed.
While hardly invisible to residents of the Kentucky community in the foreground of the photo, destructive mountaintop removal mining occurs out of view of the vast majority of Americans. This highly-destructive mining for coal not only destroys entire mountains and related ecosystems, but buries streams, contaminates watersheds and presents significant public health hazards.
This worker was measuring the temperature of water discharged from the P.H. Robinson power plant in Texas. Water is sucked in from Galveston Bay -- along with fish eggs and larvae -- used for cooling the plant's steam, and then discharged at a higher temperature. In this case, the water was 20 degrees warmer which can be deadly for fish (like this guy). Hundreds of other power plants in the United States continue this practice, despite requirements in the Clean Water Act, passed the same year as this photo was taken, requiring that such fishkills be drastically reduced.

Winning the Drug War
America may be doing it quietly, but it's happening nonetheless.
11:00 PM, Feb 9, 2006 • By JONATHAN V. LAST
THERE'S A WONDERFUL SCENE in the movie Traffic in which a captured drug kingpin, played by Miguel Ferrer, is being interrogated by two federal agents. Ferrer says to them disdainfully: "You people are like those Japanese soldiers left behind on deserted islands who think that World War II is still going on. Let me be the first to tell you, your government surrendered this war a long time ago."
It's a brilliant bit of filmmaking; it's also bunk. Over the last five years, while no one was paying attention, America has been winning its war on drugs.
The cosmopolitan view has long been that the fight against drugs is a losing battle; that the supply of drugs pouring into America is never-ending; that drug lords are unrelenting zombie-supermen--kill one, and five more spring up.
The American drug problem grew to epidemic proportions throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In 1979, agencies of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health performed a national household survey of illicit drug use; substances included marijuana, cocaine, heroin, banned hallucinogens and inhalants, and unauthorized use of sedatives, stimulants and analgesics. As of 1979, the numbers were horrifying: 31.8 percent of teens ages 12 to 17 had used drugs; 16.3 percent of them had used in the last month. Among those ages 18 to 25 it was worse: 69 percent had used at some point; 38 percent in the last month.
But throughout the '80s, those numbers shrank. Sophisticates derided "Just Say No," but by 1993, only 16.4 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds had used, and only 5.7 percent had used in the last month. In the 18-to-25 age bracket, 50.2 percent had tried drugs, but only 15 percent had used in the last 30 days. It was a remarkable success.
From 1993 to 2001, the numbers become less rosy: Among ages 12 to 17, the percentage of youths who had tried drugs increased almost twofold. In the 18-to-25 crowd, the increase was less marked, but still noticeable.
There's a reason we pay so much attention to these two age groups. As Tom Riley, the director of public affairs at the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), explains: "If people don't start using drugs as teenagers--the mechanism of addiction clicks much more quickly in the developing brain--then they are unlikely to ever go on to serious drug abuse. If we can reduce the number of teens who use drugs, we change the shape of the problem for generations to come."
After 2001, the tide turned again. Since then, teen drug use is off nearly 19 percent. Which means that 700,000 fewer teens are using drugs today than just a few years ago.
What happened? For one thing: funding. Since 1998, the ONDCP's real budget has increased, from $8.2 billion to $12.4 billion. That extra money has mostly gone to law enforcement and drug treatment, attacking both the supply and the demand sides of the problem. Measures for demand are fuzzy, but the supply side of the equation - the "war" part of the war on drugs--has solid metrics.

I would like to build a wheel using the Surly 135mm hub for the Rob Roy group buy. This hub uses a 52mm chainline. However I wanted to use a track crank like the Sugino RD2. Using the RD bottom bracket would yield a 45 mm chainline. The spindle length is 103mm. So if I want to get a 52mm chain line should I use a 117 mm spindle? (ie 52 - 45 = 7mm and 7 x 2 + 103 = 117)
My fantasy build would include a Phil Wood bottom bracket so wouldn't want to screw up and have to replace a spindle at that cost. Thanks for the help.

Adoption Services
The Houston SPCA always has many great animals looking for new homes.
Click on the links below to see all of the animals waiting for adoption in our shelter...
Cats & Kittens
Dogs & Puppies

Equine, Farm Animals, Small Mammals and Birds
Click here to download a printable map of the Houston SPCA Shelter
How do I adopt a pet?
We suggest that you first stop at the shelter adoption center. Trained adoption staff and volunteers will help you in making the perfect match.
What do I need to bring in order to adopt?
In order to be considered as an adopter:
- You must be 18 years of age or older
- Have identification showing your present address
- Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household
- Have the adoption fee in either credit card, cash or check (If paying by check, you must have a valid Texas Drivers License. Address on Drivers License must match address on check for check acceptance).
How much does it cost to adopt?
Puppies/Small Dogs in the Spot Peabody Room - $195
Purebred Dogs - $195
Large Dogs - $95
Kittens - $95
Cats $65
Ferrets- $75.00
Rabbits - $30.00
Guinea Pigs- $15.00
Small Rodents- $3.00
Cockatiel- $35.00
Parakeets- $10.00
Finches (common)- $5.00
For dogs and cats, your adoption fee includes:
- Your new companion
- Health evaluation
- HomeAgain microchip
- Spay/neuter surgery
- Age appropriate vaccinations
- FeLV/FIV testing ($25 additional fee)
- Rabies vaccination (three months of age or older)
- Deworming
- Heartworm testing for dogs (six months of age and older)
- One
adoption gift courtesy of Hill's Science Diet
- Free first exam with a VCA Animal Hospital
- Free toy or treat from PetSafe
What if I don't see an animal I like?
Don't give up. We get new pets in all the time, and you're bound to find that perfect match.
What about spaying and neutering?
The Houston SPCA is working hard to prevent pet overpopulation. Last year we received more than 16,000 cats, dogs and other animals. Cats and dogs must be spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter.
Why do I want a pet?
Make sure that you and your family are prepared to make a serious, lifetime commitment to the animal you choose. Remember, this commitment may last 15 years or more.
What kind of lifestyle do I lead?
Do you travel frequently, or work late hours? Companion animals require constant care and cannot be ignored. Many animals require exercise and outdoor activity. Can you make the time to provide for the health of your new pet? Do you have the patience to deal with raising a kitten or puppy?
Can I afford a pet?
Owning a pet requires a financial investment as well as an emotional one. Your pet will need food, annual vaccinations, toys, grooming supplies, regular veterinary treatment, flea & tick prevention, and much more. You also need to consider the expenses if your pet gets sick. The total annual cost for your pet may be more than $500 per year!
Does everyone in my household agree with adopting a pet?
Bringing a companion animal into your home requires the commitment and cooperation of the entire family. The Houston SPCA discourages the practice of "surprising" someone with the gift of a living creature. Remember, too, that children should not be considered the primary care-giver for the pet. Ultimately, it is the parent or adult guardian who must be responsible for the well-being of the animal.
Am I prepared to deal with potential behavior problems?
Housetraining, barking, digging, scratching on furniture, litterbox "accidents", spraying, and general misbehaving are just a few of the problems you might encounter. Are you patient enough, and willing to take the time to train your new companion to be a good pet citizen? The Houston SPCA strongly recommends professional training to prevent and correct behavioral problems. Are you able to afford this type of financial, emotional, and time commitment?

Topsail's Clark Cota still contributing in face of arm surgery
Topsail senior Clark Cota went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 2-1 victory over New Hanover in the Mideastern Conference baseball tournament championship, a rare off night at the plate for one of the area's most feared hitters. Coach Granville Gehris knows Cota's in a tough spot. It's why he tempered his ire when the UNCW recruit let his frustration show on his slow trot back to the home dugout after two ground outs and a fly out.

Hey Jedhir,
Appreciate your thoughts & contribution to the EBIX message board. I have learned a lot from your earlier posts about the company, and about developing a thought-process favorable for long-term holding.
I know it's off-topic but I was wondering if you find any other companies/shares that are more attractive than EBIX.
Ya received the divvy. Gotta say TD is the worst here. Slowest and takes the most money out of the dividend. Fidelity and Merrill are better.
Just trying to have an idea of the worst case scenario with Awilco. We know around $5-$6 is guaranteed with the current contracts in place. Assuming they get no new contracts AND they decide to scrap the rigs, what amount per rig would they get? I know it'd be stupid to scrap the rigs after a SPS and getting new BOPs installed, but still - what would the scrap value be? $50 million per rig?
A recent bloomberg article mentioned that Floating rigs left idle in a harbor can cost as much as $12,000 a day to sit cold stacked. Assuming $20k for WilHunter, that'd be around $7 million per year.
Sorry for double post - thought the first one didn't go through...
Anyway, the amount of the suit is relatively small (~$200k)...but just wondering what people think of it?

That is, how many of try to ride your age in miles around your birthday? I usually attempt a birthday ride every year, but the weather often rules it out since I was born on Jan. 19, 1954. It's also getting harder and harder as I get older each year. I came very close this year, riding 53 miles on the day before my birthday. I figured that was close enough and didn't feel like riding loops around the neighborhood just to get 3 more miles.
My most memorable attempt was about 4 years ago when I talked my friends into riding a 52-mile loop on the Saturday near my birthday. The weather appeared to be good -- cloudy but warm for January and no rain in the forecast. Unfortunately, the forecasters had it all wrong and it started raining hard about 20 miles into the ride. My friends decided to call it quits and we looped back, ending up with about 35 miles. The temperature dropped about 10 degrees and we were all cold and soaked. I haven't been able to talk my friends into trying another birthday ride with me since then.
A couple of years ago I got lucky on an early-January ride that was supposed to be about 40 miles. The ride leader made some wrong turns and we ended up riding about 56 miles, but the weather was warm and sunny so nobody minded.

ANAHEIM - A Camp Pendleton Marine and his younger brother are under police custody at a hospital after they were shot by an off-duty police officer in the Angel Stadium parking lot Wednesday night. Police said they are trying to identify a fourth man who might involved in the confrontation.
Anaheim Police Sgt. Rick Martinez said the brothers - Carlos Velazquez, 25, a U.S. Marine from Camp Pendleton, and Jose Velazquez, 22, of Ontario - are being held on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon.
Their mother, Maria Velazquez, who was at UCI Medical Center in Orange with her family, said that Carlos was shot in the head and Jose was shot in the upper arm.
Police have talked to about a dozen witnesses who said the men hit the veteran officer over the head with beer bottles, Martinez said.
"At this stage, it appears the officer, who had been there with his wife and kids, was confronted by a total of three men," Martinez said. "We are trying to identify this (third) man…and what the confrontation was about with all these people."
The police officer, who has not been identified, was released from a hospital early Thursday morning, Martinez said. The officer's wife and children were unharmed, Martinez said.
The Velazquez family was not allowed to see the injured brothers all night, but shortly after 11 a.m. Thursday, Maria Velazquez and her husband were allowed a short visit.
Carlos Velazquez was left paralyzed on one half of his body by the bullet, which hit his spinal cord, his family was told this morning by a doctor. His throat will also need to be reconstructed, family members said. Doctors did not know whether the paralysis would be permanent, they said.
Family members said that neither brother has a criminal record of any sort. None of the family members who were at the hospital had been at Wednesday night's Angels game. The Velazquez brothers were at the game with two friends and a girlfriend.
Three Marines, led by a captain, were at UCI Medical Center Thursday to visit Carlos Velazquez and talk to the family.
About a half-hour after the game ended at 10:20 p.m. Wednesday, the off-duty officer called 911, said Anaheim police Sgt. Tim Schmidt.
"He said there were guys trying to get in his car," Martinez said. The officer reported that he was choked and that the men wouldn't leave, and then a confrontation developed while the officer stayed on the line, Martinez said.
The officer stopped talking to a dispatcher, but screaming can be heard in the background, Martinez said.
Marcus Freimanis, 21, of Tustin, said he was walking through the parking lot with his girlfriend and two friends when they heard a commotion.
"We thought it was firecrackers and then we saw a guy with a gun and people screaming and saying 'Put the gun down,'" Freimanis said. "Then we saw a guy hiding behind his car with a couple of kids."
"We only heard two pops and they were within about two seconds of each other," he said.
Freimanis, his girlfriend and friends jumped in his truck and saw one man on the ground holding his stomach. They called police.
The black pickup driven by the men who were shot was still at Angel Stadium early Thursday morning, parked one row over from what looked like two dried pools of blood. The blood was at the front end of the parking space the officer had used, dried on the ground and along a concrete barrier.
The officer's 1999 white Honda Civic, who was parked on the north side of the parking lot, also remained in the lot until early Thursday morning, Martinez said.
The Anaheim Police Department is asking witnesses to call 714-765-1944.
"We're doing everything we can to fully cooperate with the Anaheim PD and their investigation," said Angels spokesman Tim Mead.
There are security cameras around the parking lot, and any relevant tapes will be or already have been turned over to police, Mead said. He didn't know whether the incident had been caught on tape.
Freimanis, who goes to two or three games per week, said he sees the occasional drunken fight, but nothing dangerous. "Nothing that is going to kill someone," he said.
The shooting is the fourth major violent incident to take place at Southern California ballparks in recent years.
Brian Powers, of Buena Park, died after a fight on opening day 2009 at Angel Stadiumin which he was hit in the head from behind during a fight with another man and fell, hitting his head on a concrete step.
At Dodger Stadium, a 30-year-old man was stabbedin a parking lot after an opening day 2009 game against the Giants.
Five years ago, an off-duty San Benito County sheriff's deputy attending a playoff game between the Angels and the Boston Red Sox threw a man down a stairwellafter the man bopped him with a thunder stick.

Seana Mulcahy | November 5, 2002 | Comments
A none-too-spectacular holiday season is upon us, but online's under the mistletoe. A projected mild spending increase sure beats last year's lump of coal.
I was shocked to be in a shopping mall just before Halloween only to hear Christmas music and see Christmas trees and loads of those tacky sweaters embroidered with just about every Christian icon. Though the heat is on and online media sells for bargain-basement prices, the online world hasn't succumbed to Jingle Bell euphoria quite yet.
Or have we?
As online advertising folk, we tend to associate fourth quarter traffic spikes and more online spending to the holidays. Many of us have been ultraconservative with our wallets, held back dollars, and now need to spend it or lose it. Face it, no money is ever new this time of year.
Let's take a look at worldwide spending projections. According to Lane Leskela, research director of GartnerG2, "The fourth quarter is increasingly becoming a holiday shopping season in Asia-Pacific. Christmas has penetrated the local culture of many non-Christian societies as a gift-giving celebration."
Findings from the research firm include the following:
A survey by global market information company NPD Group found 89 percent of American consumers will spend the same or less during the upcoming holiday shopping season this year as they did last year. Findings from 2,300 respondents also include:
Jupiter Research (a unit of ClickZ's parent corporation) predicts consumers will spend less on a per capita basis this holiday season:
You may have seen a barrage of email from retailers pushing wares. There are fewer shopping days this year, that is, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Retailers need time to ramp up, fulfill orders, and ship for on-time delivery. Shipping and handling costs may be reduced or even absorbed entirely by retailers. Net users tend to look less for drastically reduced prices and more for convenience.
"This is going to be the year of email marketing," declares Jared Blank, a Jupiter senior analyst, noting the price of email messages continues to drop. He says HTML messages receive 1 to 1.5 times the response of plain text email.
Juliana Deeks, a Jupiter associate analyst, says 85 percent of online advertisers indicate they intend to maintain or increase their online advertising budget. The average increase for the holidays is 3 percent.
About 12 percent more retailers are using multichannel platforms this season. The Internet as a sales channel will continue to grow over the next few weeks.
Bottom line: no big news in holiday sales. Consumer spending will likely be flat. The upside for us is online ad spend should increase (if it hasn't already).
Last year was bad. The shopping season was difficult, and consumer confidence was way down post-September 11. This year, the economy is still weak, consumer confidence has dipped yet again, but it's still possible for bells to jiggle online.
Fingers crossed, dear readers.

Could six fire departments in Herkimer County consolidate to form one fire district?
It depends on whom you ask.
Could six fire departments in Herkimer County consolidate to form one fire district?
It depends on whom you ask.
For volunteer fire departments in Frankfort, Mohawk and East Herkimer, manpower issues would be resolved with consolidation, but it could mean an increase in taxes in the coverage area.
For paid fire departments in Ilion, Herkimer and Little Falls, it could mean a decrease in costs to taxpayers.
A consolidation study recently completed by Summit Lake Consulting LLC in Albany examined the six fire departments and came up with five options that would help improve services and potentially save money.
"The way they're operating now, they're really doing the best they can," said Marty Tillapaugh, a consultant on the study and retired fire chief. "Now they have six chiefs, six management styles, six operation procedures. We just feel in their situation with the problems they have, one department would solve a lot of their problems and we think it would improve their response times."
The study offers varying options — a fire district with paid firefighters and emergency medical services to a mix of paid and volunteer firefighters and part-time paramedics — all honing on the creation of one fire district, which would be governed by a board of fire commissioners.
None of the options, however, illustrate a cost savings when comparing them to the total budgets of the six departments combined. Tillapaugh contends that depending on how the fire district is set up, there could be savings.
Cost savings?
Ilion Village Fire Chief Jim Trevett said if the fire departments combined, the cost per resident would go down.
"We are a career department. It's going to help us save in costs joining forces," he said. "I'm absolutely interested in pursuing (consolidation) … anything that's going to save money for the villages and residents is well worth looking into."
Tillapaugh said they used a population estimate of 43,000 in the new fire district, and divided that number into each option's estimated total cost. Tax data was not available.
Doing the same for the current total costs for each department, Ilion Herkimer and Little Falls residents would save money if one of the last two options was pursue. Those options would man three companies 24/7 and three others 10 hours per day Monday through Friday with career firefighters and three ambulances manned 24/7 with full-time or part-time medics.
The other options show increases — especially for volunteer fire departments, which have no salary and benefit costs.
Frankfort Volunteer Fire Department Chief Charles Conigliaro said those costs to taxpayers are "hefty."
"Taxpayers would have to bear burden," he said. "Efficiency can be done without a cost."
Bits and pieces
Page 2 of 2 - The key to the study is the departments can pick and choose the elements that best suit their situation.
Conigliaro said training together and making group purchases can be done to save money.
Robert Vandawalker, director of Herkimer County Office of Emergency Services, said the options run the gamut.
"There are savings to be made out there … savings in training, savings in apparatus sharing … without changing the whole structure of the department," he said. "But that's also something the departments themselves and the government bodies have to look at."
Tillapaugh said there are some hurdles that the departments would have to overcome if they combined, including allowing the city of Little Falls to join because current law states that city fire departments can't join fire districts.
While Conigliaro said consolidation would be too big a hurdle and they should instead look at shared services, Ilion's fire chief hopes the departments will remain open-minded.
"I think the survival of the local fire departments are in dire need of looking at some other answer," Trevett said. "We have to look outside the box."

College isn't just for ages 18 to 22.
Our hats are off to the people who go back to school later in life and earn degrees. Whether they're in their 30s, 40s, or even their 90s they are inspirations to us, letting us know it's never too late to chase your dreams.
Check out a few of the stories of some of the oldest college graduates this year:

The 40-year-old congresswoman and mother of three, earned a bachelor's degree in political science at South Dakota State University. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, Noem had been on track to finish school in her 20s, but when Noem was 22, her father was killed in a farming accident, prompting her to drop out and return to her family's ranch.
Boston businessman Thomas Demakes, 69, went back to school to get his MBA - and convinced his three sons to do the same. So, Demakes and his sons - Elias, 34, Timothy, 32 and Andrew, 31 - all enrolled at Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School, took the same classes together and graduated together this year. Thomas Demakes, has been working at his successful family-owned business, Old Neighborhood Foods, since he was 5.

U.S. Signals Strengthened Ties with India, as Kashmir, Pakistan and Afghanistan Struggle for Normalcy
M, M., Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
U.S. Signals Strengthened Ties With India, as Kashmir, Pakistan and Afghanistan Struggle for Normalcy
Prof. M.M. Ali is a consultant and specialist on South Asia based in the Washington DC area. He is currently visiting the subcontinent.
Cross the Mediterranean from Europe and you have countries that still are striving to stave off the yoke of colonialism and seeking to exploit their natural resources for their own good, without external help or intervention. Sadly--as a result of the post World War I machinations of Western powers, particularly imperial Britain--their economies and their politics today are caught in a no-win situation. For the developing world, the post-World War II changes in the international balance of power have only made matters worse.
The collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s has posed new challenges for countries in the neighborhood of China and the newly independent Central Asian republics. For understandable reasons, the subcontinent of India and Pakistan (including Afghanistan) that falls in this general region has received special attention from the United States, the lone remaining superpower. This geo-political environment offers certain natural advantages to larger India and poses difficulties for smaller Pakistan. The nuclear capability of these two developing countries lends an added dimension and significance to the region.
It is interesting that President George W. Bush, bypassing the nuances of protocol, received visiting Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh in the White House on April 5, sending a clear message that the new Republican administration wishes to maintain closer ties with New Delhi. The visit was preceded by a joint Republican-Democratic congressional memorandum to the White House urging the removal of all legal impediments in U.S.-Indian relations. Pakistan was included only incidentally in the memorandum.
The memorandum also coincided with former U.S. President Bill Clinton's visit to India to raise funds for the victims of the Gujarat earthquake. It has been known for some time that Washington is under pressure from powerful corporate America to facilitate investment opportunities in the vast Indian economy. Therefore, unless New Delhi fouls things up, U.S.-Indian ties are likely to get stronger in the coming four years of the Republican administration.
For its part, Pakistan must develop strategies to work around this growing American-Indian alliance, try to extricate itself from its economic morass, while meeting the demand of donor countries and international financial institutions for the restoration of democracy. A tall order--but, with grit and statecraft, manageable. The coming months will be interesting to watch. The hopes raised for a peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute by India's cease-fire announcement last November, and its subsequent extension until the end of May, have now melted. It is now clearer than ever that New Delhi is using the cease-fire announcement as a way to appease American pressure to settle the issue and also to keep the Kashmiris in good humor and Pakistan at bay. Its policy vis-a-vis Kashmir has not in fact changed. Indian military forces have continued to maintain their stranglehold on Kashmir. However, Delhi allows elements inside and outside the occupied state to flirt with different theories and options for the resolution of the dispute which has caused two wars to be fought between India and Pakistan during the last 54 years.
An old idea again afloat calls for Azad Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan to remain under Pakistani control (as they are now) for the next 10 years, and Jammu and Ladakh to remain with India (as they are now) for the next 10 years, with the Valley to be under a U.N. trusteeship--again, for 10 years. The future of the entire State of Jammu and Kashmir, according to this plan, would be decided after the intervening decade.
This formula reportedly has the approval of Washington and is being floated through non-official Kashmiri sources. …

As you know, submitting to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint form library from an InfoPath form is quite simple: just add a "submit" type of data connection to InfoPath and away you go. However, submitting to a SharePoint List is another matter. In this post, we will take a look at the steps necessary to enable this functionality.
Step 1: Create the list
1. Create a new custom list named: MyContacts2. From the Settings button choose List Settings3. Click Create Column4. Add the following columns/data types:
The next step is to create a Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) template that contains the same XML nodes as the columns we added to our list – this will be used as a secondary data connection in the InfoPath Form Template.
Step 2: Create the CAML template
1. Launch Notepad (or any text editor)2. Copy and paste the following code to the Notepad document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Batch OnError="Continue"> <Method ID="1" Cmd="New"> <Field Name='Title'></Field> <Field Name="FirstName"></Field> <Field Name="LastName"></Field> <Field Name="Email"></Field> <Field Name="Phone"></Field> </Method></Batch>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Batch OnError="Continue"> <Method ID="1" Cmd="New"> <Field Name='Title'></Field> <Field Name="FirstName"></Field> <Field Name="LastName"></Field> <Field Name="Email"></Field> <Field Name="Phone"></Field> </Method></Batch>
3. Save this as: Add List Item Template.xml
Step 3: Create the InfoPath Form Template
1. Create a new, blank, browser-compatible form template2. Add a "Receive" type secondary data connection to the Add List Item Template.xml file created in Step #2. (Make sure the options "Include the data as a resource file in the form template" and "Automatically retrieve data when the form is opened" are enabled.)3. Add a "Receive" type secondary data connection to the "MyContacts" SharePoint List created in Step #1 and make sure the option "Automatically retrieve data when the form is opened" is enabled. NOTE: Be sure to include the "Title" field along with the custom fields we created.
Each SharePoint list is created with a unique identifier called a GUID. In order to submit items to a SharePoint list, you must know the unique GUID for that list. These next steps will enable you to identify the GUID for your "MyContacts" list.
Step 4: Identify the list GUID
1. Open a browser and navigate to the MyContacts list2. From the Settings menu choose List Settings3. In the browser's address bar you will see the URL appended with "List="
4. Copy everything after the equals sign and paste this into a text editor as we will need this value later on.
NOTE: We will need the list GUID to be formatted as "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}". If your GUID appears as above with the hyphens and braces "escaped" (i.e. %7B for the braces and %2D for the hyphens) then you will need to replace the escaped characters with the braces and hyphens so when we use this GUID later, it will appear as: {1E76517B-2C36-4473-A420-A737D98589BC}
Step 5: Add controls to the InfoPath Form Template
1. Open the Data Source Task Pane2. From the Data Source dropdown box choose the "MyContacts" connection
3. Right-click on "MyContacts" and choose Repeating Table – this will add a repeating table bound to that connection to your View4. From the Data Source dropdown box choose Main5. Add a text box to the "myFields" node named: ListName and set the Default Value property to the GUID value of your list – we will use this node to specify the list when we perform the Submit operation
To update the SharePoint list we will be using the "UpdateListItems" method of the SharePoint "lists.asmx" web service. This web method requires a couple of parameters (the list name and what gets updated) – now that we have added the "ListName" node which contains the GUID and we have the Add List Item Template XML data connection which describes our data structure we have all the necessary information to add the "UpdateListItems" web method!
Step 6: Add the "lists.asmx" web service
1. Add a new "Submit" type of web service data connection to the "lists.asmx" web service – this is typically located at: http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx2. Select the "UpdateListItems" operation3. Double-click the "listname" parameter and assign the "my:ListName" node as the value
4. Double-click the "updates" parameter, select the "Add list Item Parameter" data source, select "Batch" and click OK5. For the "Include" option select "XML subtree, including selected element"
6. Complete the Data Connection Wizard
Now that we have all the connections that are required, we now need to add the "submit" functionality to the form template.
Step 7: Add Submit functionality
1. Display the Data Source Task Pane2. From the Data Source dropdown box choose the Add List Item Template data connection3. Drill down through the data source, right-click on the Field node and choose Repeating Table
We need to change the text box control in the "Name" column to Read-only – if these values were to be changed it would affect the CAML and the submit would fail.• Double-click on the text box in the Name column of the Repeating Table• Select the Display tab• Enable the Read-only property and click OK• Add a new Button control to the View• Double-click the button to display the Properties• Click the Submit Options button• Enable the option "Allow users to submit this form"• Enable the option "Perform custom action using Rules" and click the Rules button• Click the Add button• Click the Add Action button• From the Action dropdown box choose "Submit using a data connection", select the "Web Service Submit" data connection and click OK• Click the Add Action button• From the Action dropdown box choose "Query using a data connection", select the "MyContacts" data connection and click OK (this will automatically refresh the list in InfoPath so you can see the newly added record)
• Click OK until you are back to your form
NOTE: If you want to automatically clear out the submitted values, add another action to this Rule to "Set a field's value" and the only option you need to specify is the "Field" option – select the "Field" node from the "Add List Item Template" data connection and then simply leave the Value option blank.
Step 8: Test!
1. Click the Preview button to preview the form2. Fill in values for each of the fields: Title, First Name, Last Name, E-mail and Phone
3. Click the Submit button – the contact information should be submitted successfully and the "MyContacts" list automatically updated!
A special thanks to Matt Faus of InfoPathDev for for initially posting this solution!
Scott HeimSupport Engineer
Thanks alot for th reply Scott. yes I am using SharePoint 2010 , because of the limitations enforced by List customized using Infopath forms , I am looking at this approach. I am just able to design this form different rather than just inserting the secondary data repeating table as you have shown in the example. Is there any way we can redesign this form?
Hi Nandini,
You cannot take a standard InfoPath form and make it into a form used in a SharePoint list. So what you may be able to do is:
- For new entries: simply have a link on your SharePoint landing page that, when clicked on, will launch your form.
- For editing existing rows of list data: this is a bit trickier: you may be able to add a hyperlink column to the list that, when clicked on, will query for the record ID of that list item and return just that data to your form. This will be a bit challenging to implement but may work. (NOTE: I have not actually tested this - merely a suggested possibility.)
Are you able to use this form to update the information already in the list? Can you make changes in the display and when you hit the submit button it will submit the change to the list?
Hi Ashley,
Yes - with a few modifications. I know there are a lot of comments but if you go through them you will find sample steps on how to use the process to update existing list items.
Thanks Scott,
I found your post from Oct 8, 2007 for writing the code. You said you added a new column with a button that would be used to update the row. Did you add this column after you already made the repeating table off of the MyContacts list? So will there be a button for each row? I need to be able to edit and delete the current items in the list.
Right now I have a drop down that allows the user to select a value then the form displays the data from the sharepoint list for that value. Then I have the table where the user can add a new item and hit the button to submit the new item.
I actually think I figured that part out. The question I have is where does the code go for the public void? Is this vba or #C?
It is C# and it would go on a button click event so when the button is clicked, it would execute the code to update the item you have specified.
Great thanks Scott. This is the last question, sorry! I saw someone in an earlier post had the same problem but I get the error "the name 'e' does not exist in the current context". After researching it a bit it seems that the name needs to be declared before being called? Do you know how to fix this? The part of the code it pertains to is below:
public void InternalStartup()
((ButtonEvent)EventManager.ControlEvents["UpdateList"]).Clicked += new ClickedEventHandler(UpdateList_Clicked("Update", e.Source.CreateNavigator()));
public void UpdateList_Clicked(string strOperation, XPathNavigator e)
//Create a new instance of our "Lists" web service
ServerName.Lists myList = new ServerName.Lists();
Ashley - please post all your code so I can see what you have.
//Create a new instance of our "Lists" web service
ServerName.Lists myList = new ServerName.Lists();
//Pass the logged on users credentials to the web service
myList.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
//Create a DataSource object for our list data source
DataSource dsContacts = this.DataSources["Updated Headcount"];
//Create a NamespaceManager object so we can use the various namespaces on our XPATH expressions
XmlNamespaceManager ns = this.NamespaceManager;
//Create XPathNavigator objects for each field from our list
XPathNavigator xnID = e.SelectSingleNode("@ID", ns);
XPathNavigator xnTitle = e.SelectSingleNode("@Title", ns);
XPathNavigator xnLastName = e.SelectSingleNode("@LastName ", ns);
XPathNavigator xnFirstName = e.SelectSingleNode("@FirstName", ns);
XPathNavigator xnFranchise = e.SelectSingleNode("@Franchise", ns);

XPathNavigator xnEmployeeType = e.SelectSingleNode("@EmployeeType", ns);
XPathNavigator xnFTE = e.SelectSingleNode("@FTE", ns);
XPathNavigator xnNotes = e.SelectSingleNode("@Notes", ns);
//Create a new XmlDocument to use for specifying the Update CAML query
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
//Create the needed update element
System.Xml.XmlElement updates = doc.CreateElement("Batch");
//Create the CAML query passing in the value of each of our fields from the form
if (strOperation == "Delete")
updates.InnerXml = string.Format(@"<Method ID='1' Cmd='Delete'>" +
"<Field Name='ID'>" + xnID.Value + "</Field>" + "</Method>");
updates.InnerXml = string.Format(@"<Method ID='1' Cmd='Update'>" +

"<Field Name='EmployeeType'>" + xnEmployeeType.Value + "</Field>" +
"<Field Name='FTE'>" + xnFTE.Value + "</Field>" +

//Update the list
XPathNavigator xnListGUID = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:ListName", ns);
XmlNode node = myList.UpdateListItems(xnListGUID.Value, updates);
//Requery the data source to reflect the updates
Thanks Ashley...so how are you getting that code into the "InternalStartup" procedure? Are you hand entering that? What happens if you:
- Go back to InfoPath Designer
- Right-click on the button and choose Button Properties
- Click Edit Form Code
What you have in InternalStartup does not seem correct.
Yeah that's what I did originally but I think I got confused as to where to put the UpdateList("Update",e.Source.CreateNavigator) versus the rest of the code. Now when I go to right click on the button and hit edit form code, it won't open.
Ashley - delete what you have in InternalStartup then redo the steps from the button.
Now it's saying that the "UpdateList" name does not exist in the current context. You said the only line in the Clicked event is the UpdateList("Update", e.Source.CreateNavigator()); correct? then do I just copy the procedure for UpdateList below that? Thanks so much for helping me out, I've been struggling with this for days!!
((ButtonEvent)EventManager.ControlEvents["UpdateList"]).Clicked += new ClickedEventHandler(UpdateList_Clicked);
public void UpdateList_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
UpdateList("Update", e.Source.CreateNavigator());

After 17 months in a federal immigration detention center, Slick Rick is finally free.
The old-school hip-hop icon was released Friday afternoon (November 7) from the Bradenton, Florida, INS detention center to his lawyer, Alex Solomiany. His plans were to drive to Ft. Lauderdale and fly immediately back home to the New York area to be with his wife, Mandy.
"Feels good. I look at it as a new beginning," Slick Rick said just minutes after being released from the detention center. "I had a lot of love [on the inside]. Everybody's going through their own drama, everybody's stressed out with their own cases. We all kind of bonded together to some degree."
On Halloween, a federal judge reversed a ruling that said Rick should be deported back to England, where the Bronx-raised rapper was born (see "Judge Stops Slick Rick Deportation, But Rapper Isn't Free Yet" ). Rick had been languishing in INS custody with no idea of when he might be deported or released. Even after the judge's ruling, administration errors and the possibility that the INS might appeal prevented his immediate release.
"[There was] a lot of anxiety. You don't know if it's going to be this day, this hour," Rick said. "It's been a week since [the judge] granted me permission, so there's been a lot of butterflies in the stomach, you might say."
Rick, who said he lost up to 40 pounds during his stay, faced deportation because he was technically a foreign national who committed a crime — an attempted murder conviction he served out in 1996. In June 2002, after performing on a Caribbean cruise ship, he was arrested as he re-entered the United States and had been held ever since.

Replacement AC Power Cord for select Panasonic models

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by MNStina Cross Reference I put in an old part number for a radio at our office due to the previous employee stealing the power cord. This is the cord the cross reference said to order; however this cord is a flat figure 8 and after doing more research it appears I need just a regular figure 8 cord. Very disappointing. October 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Novel Writer Needed new cord to replace lost one. I had an old record player / tape player / recorder that I loved to use. We had moved several times over the last year while waiting for a new house to be built. Even though I have CDs and an iPod, I still like to play my old records and tapes sometimes. I looked at the model number on the machine and was pleased to find that I could still get a replacement cord for my machine. Even though it is close to 30 years old, it still works perfectly. I've bought many Panasonic products over the years, such as VCRs and TVs. They always hold up and work great. I tried to get a new needle for the record player, but had to buy that from Amazon. I couldn't get any help through Panasonic. But I still like the Panasonic products. September 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hank Perfect Replacemeny I needed a replacement for an old CD player and this was the replacement recommended. It works GREAT!!! August 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 Found power cord for old radio I found a power cord for an old, 20 plus years, radio. We inherited an old radio from our parents and it had no cord. We put the model number in the Panasonic website and the right cord came up. It was delivered quickly and works well, We're happy we can use this radio. Thank you, Sterling August 6, 2015

The case of the witch and her cat: crowdfunding free culture
The guest post below was written by Erik Moeller from Passionate Voices, in support of our campaign "Made with Creative Commons: A book on open business models" which will present in-depth profiles of Creative Commons use.
The dragoncow is chewing on an uprooted tree, its bulging eyes staring vacantly into the distance as the orange cat hanging off its udder extracts a large drop of milk into a wooden bucket held by a young witch balanced precariously on her broomstick. The scene is from David Revoy's Pepper & Carrot, a much-loved comic strip about a witch and her cat.
Unlike most webcomics, which release new strips a few times per week, there's typically one episode of Pepper & Carrot every month. Each episode is several pages long, crafted with an attention to detail rarely seen outside more commercial work. Slowly but surely, David is building Pepper's identity and the world she inhabits. "So much heart in each and every piece you do", writes one admirer in the comments.
Volunteers translate each episode to a dozen or so languages, on the basis of the source files which can be downloaded freely. David uses a GitHub repository to collaborate with the community and to share assets.
All this is possible because the entire comic strip is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). Other than CC0, this is the most permissive licensing option Creative Commons offers. Works under these terms can not only be copied, but also remixed and built upon, including for commercial uses. Re-users just have to attribute David Revoy as the author.
David is no stranger to Creative Commons. He was art director for Sintel, a crowdfunded CC-BY licensed 3D animated movie produced by the Blender Foundation. His love for open source goes back even further, as he explained in a recent interview with Passionate Voices: "Even when I was using Windows and proprietary software, I always kept an eye on the Linux distributions. I always kept an eye on GIMP. It was one of my first digital painting tools. And I always really appreciated the whole movement." Today, David uses Krita, an open source digital painting application which has been supported by two Kickstarter fundraisers.
User Manual by David Revoy, available under the CC-BY license.
David's work on Pepper & Carrot is funded by a Patreon campaign. As of this writing, for every episode he produces, his supporters donate $1200, which is inching ever closer to the amount David needs to focus fully on creating the webcomic as his "dream job". As such, he is not concerned about others building on his work as long as they attribute him for it: "I'm really happy if Pepper & Carrot can bring more money for external people." David is disappointed when people fail to meet the simple requirement to credit him as the author: "It's easier to respect something that was given for free, in my opinion."
Back in May, a Kickstarter campaign launched without David Revoy's involvement to create a printed version of Pepper & Carrot. The initial version of the campaign suffered from attribution issues: "The author of the Kickstarter, in the description of his crowdfunding page, was acting like he was the creator. He was quoting my name but he was acting like it was my Kickstarter page, and it was really not visible inside the page." After David contacted the campaign creator, the attribution issues were fixed, and David tweeted in support of the campaign. In the end, $6,837 were raised towards a print edition which otherwise would not have happened.
Although David recognizes the power of the CC-BY license, there are circumstances where he uses more restrictive licensing. The Yin and Yang of World Hunger, a powerful painting which depicts the disparity between rich and poor, is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial No-Derivatives license, because David doesn't want to see it used for commercial or political purposes without his approval. The license doesn't preclude him from selectively granting those permissions: "There are plenty of associations about hunger that use this illustration, and I'm really happy to give them the illustration for free."
David's long term vision is to create an animation studio which only produces works under a free license. With his growing base of supporters, his vision is audacious but not outlandish. Today, many creators of webcomics and YouTube channels are funding their work through their fanbase, whether it's through one-off campaigns or ongoing Patreon-style support. But relatively few use a Creative Commons license, and fewer still the very permissive CC-BY license alongside an open source toolchain.
When confronted with commercial use and unwanted derivatives, creators may be tempted to to default to a license that places limits on re-use, and as David's story demonstrates, this can be a good answer, especially when dealing with sensitive works. And yet, there's always the tantalizing question: What if? What if you let go, what if you set your work truly free? What if you push the limits of what's possible with open source software?
Artists like David are experimenting with permissive licensing options and open source production methods to create a free culture with no strings attached. Fan support through crowdfunding platforms gives them the ability to do so without fearing loss of income. You can find my full interview with David Revoy (and with other pioneers) on Passionate Voices, and of course you can read Pepper & Carrot online and join David's community of supporters.
With your help, Creative Commons will be able to showcase many other examples of CC use and re-use. Please consider supporting the Creative Commons campaign, "Made with Creative Commons: A book on open business models".Comments Off on The case of the witch and her cat: crowdfunding free culture
Commonly: Refreshing the Public Domain
Last week, indie videogame designer Nick Liow launched the Open Game Art Bundle. It's a simple idea: independent videogame designers contribute game assets – animations, soundtracks, character designs – and customers can pay any price they want to access them. Nick describes it as a sort of cross between Kickstarter and Humble Bundle, and like Humble Indie Bundle, the income is split between the developers themselves and charities (including Creative Commons). But there's one big twist: if the bundle reaches its goal of $10,000 by July 15, all assets will become public domain under the CC0 public domain declaration.
This is actually the third bundle Nick has put out under the brand Commonly. It's the most ambitious bundle to date, but it's really just the beginning. What Nick's really interested in isn't just about videogames; it's about changing how people think about the public domain. I met up with him a few days ago to chat about videogames, public domain, and the open source movement.
We also talked about the increasing rift in the videogame world between the indie developers like himself and the high-budget, "Triple A" games of the big-name studios. There's been a lot of talk recently about the videogame industry's occasional tone-deafness to issues like race and sexuality. Nick told me that he sees a parallel conflict over issues like intellectual property and digital rights management (DRM). While many young developers like Nick share his opinions, some big-name developers are sticking to what he sees as a more old-fashioned view.
"The triple-A industry has to reach out to as massive an audience as possible," Nick said. "They close things off because they can't afford the risk. You notice that indie games tend to be for a more a more open ecosystem. With the Humble Indie Bundle, "DRM-Free" is a part of their tag line. Indie games go with the more open ecosystems… while triple-A's create their own walled gardens with game consoles." And, he was quick to add, "The iPhone counts as a [closed] console."
Nick recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area – he'll be here for the next two years as a part of the Thiel Fellowship. "You have to have a big vision [for the fellowship]," he told me, "and my big vision was a thriving public domain."
He originally applied for the fellowship with his project Craftyy, an open source game-development platform and social network. Although the Thiel judges liked Nick's ideas, "It wasn't clear to them how Craftyy would lead to a thriving public domain." That was when Nick started to shift to the idea of crowdfunding for public domain creative works. He told me that his plan for the next two years is to expand the Commonly concept beyond the world of videogame developers into the broader creative community. I can't wait to see where Commonly goes next and what awesome stuff it brings into the public domain with it.

Sorry people. I was wrong about my promise of starting this earlier. The next few weeks are going to be HUGE for me. I'll do my best to be punctual, but I can't guarantee it, so please bear with me for the next month while this goes on.
No need to be sorry. Real life always comes first. I feel bad that my previous post may have sounded pushy. I hope all is well and, on the bright side, it gives people more opportunity to contribute.

Yes, Virginia, this post is an expression of my opinion.

Gate at #5 Via Bricherasio
This beautiful wrought iron gate surrounds the entire property. Notice the Wisteria, it is present all along the top of the fencing around the property. The smell was awesome!
After two very full days of looking all over Torino we have chosen our most likely home away from home. It will most likely be an apartment in the northwest corner of La Crocetta district at 5 Via G. Bricherasio (brick-a-raz-eo) in a building on the corner of Via Vincenzo Vela and via Giovanni Bircherasio - all 3 bathrooms are being re done new as we speak (we hope to have some say as to how - but it is a rental so we don't hold out too much hope - but you have to ask and we are going to do just that). It has Central Air (a very rare find indeed)a full very new and nicely appointed kitchen (cucina) - two very large balconies and quiet garden spaces as well. Three bedrooms, 3 baths and office space. Also, it is on the 1st level so no need for a list (although there is one) and a full two car (macchina) garage space plus storage for my bikes and lots of other stuff. I will upload some pictures of the place now and a full set once the renovation is complete.
Overall we looked at about 14 apartments, climbed
Underground Garage Ramp
The automatic gate open onto this ramp for access to the underground garage.
a lot of stairs, rode a bunch of small lifts and walked all over tarnation to try and make the wisest choice we could in the short time we had. Lorenza, our Italian real estate guide, was fantastic! In addition to being the interpretor for our adventure, she knew the city very well and so could give us valuable insight regarding neiborhoods at the time we viewed the property but also after hours.
A short story will help to illustrate. Mid afternoon on Monday we were viewing a very beautiful 3rd level (4th floor) apartment again in La Crocetta this time in the northeast part at the corner of Via Marconi and Corso Massimo D'Azerglio which runs along the eastern edge of Parco Valentino which in turn abuts the Po River. It was gorgeous but the big drawback was that it was noisy and since it had no AC we would need windows open. The Corso M. D'Azerglio is very busy all day and night. But since it was so nice and new inside we were considering it. Lorenza was working with a number of real estate broker reps and at this time we were being assisted by a very
Solitude area
This covered area is reserved for residents. It has a fountain, some sculptures and leads to beautiful quiet garden space in the distance. Remember Torino has winter so more cover means less shoveling LOL
nice fellow named Marco. As we left we said our arrivderci's and started to walk back to the car. Lorenza was being quite which for her is unusual. As we walked I noticed a young women standing on the corner just behind Lorenza's Fiat Bravo. She was hard to miss, her black dress was skin tight. It looked like it was poured on and it was so short... well lets just say that that you wouldn't have to guess at her inseam. Her stance was provocitive as well and she was posed for a long while without moving. She had no purse I could see (and I don't remember looking for one either) and she was just looking north up the Corso almost without blinking. Debi nudged me to look but I think I already was. When we got in the Fiat Debra and Lorenza started to comment and that was when Lorenza began to tell us about this area and the attraction it seemed to have for this type of "working girl" and also trans-types, if you know what I mean. So, needless to say we crossed that place off our list "not that there is anything wrong with
One Terrace
Very Large wrap around terrace - pleanty of space for Debi and I and a few more. There is another on the other side of residence.
that..." LOL. Anyway Lorenza has helped us avoid mistakes we would otherwise make that may have come back to haunt us in the future.
So, today (Martedi, Tuesday)we looked at a few more places but none compared to 5 Via Bricarasio. After our viewing and a little pow-wow with Lorenza we went back to the neiborhoods for #5 and one other place on Via Marconi that was a close 2nd place. After looking the areas over we both decided that #5 was the place we could call home for up to 18 months until we head closer to Milano. So we walked a few Km got soar, happy feet and came back to Principi Di Piemonte to relax in their beautiful spa for an hour or so.
Tomorrow we will visit with the owner of #5 and see if we can get to help pick out stuff as they rennovate plus answers to a few more, less important, questions. I will post some pics to show you the apartment and surrounding neiborhood as well. Please let us know what you all think.
Oh and #5 is 3 blocks from a nice gym called Athletic Center - Societa Sportiva Dilettantistica. 3

Hey Gary, the place looks great. It looks like it's in the center of town. I looked it up on Google Street view so I got to walk around your neighborhood a bit. Just a couple of blocks from your apartment is a monument to Vittorio Emmanualle II. I remember the one Kathy and I saw in Rome by the Forum. (Of course, that one was way larger.) BTW, that wouldn't be the Matterhorn in that one pic of the Alps, would it? All in all, you're in a fantastic part of the world! Stack

Beautiful place guys! That garage area is quite big I might add. From my experiences in living and visiting different European countries, I've never seen parking quite that spacious. I'm sure as you visited the different places you may have noticed the same. So how many people live in this housing complex?

Wow great progress so far!
Gary, Your apartment hunting brings back so many memories for us, both in Japan and Belgium. We too found the real estate broker invaluble in our seraches in such an unfamiliar place. The pics you posted make the apartment you've chosen (tentitivly) seem lovely. Love the veiw up the street and the marble floors! One thing I would recommend would be to find a local neighborhood restaurant / cafe closeby. We had one we loved about 3 blocks from our apartment in Belgium and loved being recognized and treated like a "regular." It was wonderful to have a local place to meet Marc after work for a drink and dinner. Dinning al fresco just can't be beat and we loved, loved, loved it. Still miss it as a matter of fact! I got a great laugh out of your visit to the church! Finding something that you think would feel familiar and then finding out that it wasn't at all you expected is one of the things we loved about living overseas. Such fun, new opportunites...stay adventurous like that and you will have a great time, and so many wonderful experiences. Marc and I have been thinking about you both and wondering how things were working out for you. We hope Debi likes her job and that the move goes smoothly. I take it you are keeping the Florida house? When will you be in Italy perminently? Are you shipping much furniture and household goods? When will you be ready for guests??? Ha Ha just kidding (sort of) Keep the blogs comming, we (and I am sure many others) are living vicariously through you! Arlene

Participants will learn about the data and user support materials and resources provided by the ESDS and its affiliated data services (including Census.ac.uk and History Data Service) and have the chance to evaluate services and provide feedback.
Delegates will have the opportunity to network, and will be invited to join the ESDS Social Science Data Resources (SSDR) site representatives network, whose members help promote the ESDS at their institution. SSDR representatives are currently restricted to librarians at academic institutions, but the ESDS is keen to extend membership to librarians from other sectors. This event will act as a forum for SSDR representatives and other interested parties to express their views on how they wish to see the network develop.
The meeting will consist of: oral presentations and demonstrations on ESDS and its affiliated data services; a syndicate session; and invited talks by Jude England of the British Library and Stuart Macdonald of EDINA/Edinburgh University Data Library.
The meeting is free to attend, but places are limited so booking is essential. If demand is high, places may be restricted to one participant per institution. Lunch is provided.
Here are some links to get started with the service:
