Family Strong, Like Father Like Daughter
June 30, 2008
By Lisa Feldman, Miami Recruiting Battalion
When you think about a teenager joining the army you can envision the parent or parents taking their child to the airport to see them off to basic training. However, that was not the case with Mario and Gabrielle Alejandrino.
Gabrielle, 18 and now a high school graduate, has wanted to go to into the Army since she was a junior in high school. Her Mom, who lives in Coral Springs, Florida, was really against her going in to the Army due to everything going on in the world right now. She was scared to let her daughter go. Her father Mario Alejandrino, who lives in North Lauderdale with his daughter, was undecided; his decision could go either way. Due to the respect she has for her parents, she gave up on that idea and relentlessly began applying for Colleges; North Florida University, Central Florida University and Florida International University, just to name a few. Unfortunately she received and continued to receive letters telling her that she did not make it due to her SAT's scores. However, what those who are reading this do not realize is that Gabrielle graduated with three chords around her neck. One for having over 250 service hours, one for having a high GPA and one for being a Student Government Senator.
Mario Alejandrino was really concerned about his daughter's educational future. On Monday 25th, Mario, a mortgage broker, began to reflect on his life and his own experiences and actually thought about going into the Army himself. So he went into the Margate Recruiting Station to ask a few questions about benefits and education. There Mario took an EST (Enlistment Screening Test). He then called his daughter up and told her that he had also decided that he really wanted to go in the Army and what if they went together. Gabrielle was so excited and went after work to also take the EST. That same night and the next day Mario and his daughter discussed the pros and cons of going into the Army. The only cons they could both come up with were leaving her brothers, aunt and Mom and for Mario leaving his sons would be the most difficult. The Pros were that they would both have a great careers, health benefits, and educational benefits that would be beneficial to themselves and their families. After talking this out with each other it was time for Mario to go and talk to Gabrielle's Mom (Karina). After explaining the benefits, the education and the experience that the Army would provide for their daughter and after some convincing and comforting words, with the fact that he too was joining the Army, Karina's Mom gave the OK and expressed to Gabrielle how proud she was of her.
Gabrielle graduated from Coral Springs Charter High School on June 2, 2008 and on June 3, 2008 father and daughter took the ASVAB and then June 5, 2008 they both raised their right hand for the swearing-in ceremony. Not only was Mario and Gabrielle Alejandrino going to join the Army together but they were both going in as Signal Support System Specialists so that would mean they would be going to training together in Ft. Gordon. That in itself was a big relief to Mario. They would just need to get through Basic Training and then they would be together for 20 weeks of AIT (Advance Individual Training), training in their field, before going their separate ways for their first duty assignment. Mario was going to Ft. Benning for Basic Training and Gabrielle was going to Ft Jackson for Basic Training. However; while sitting with Mr. Roman, the Guidance Counselor at the Military Entrance Processing Station, a call was put in to the Recruiting Operations Center where Mr. Roman explained the circumstances of this father and daughter joining together and he was able to get Mario and Gabrielle to the same Basic Training in Ft. Jackson. They were elated to say the least and Mr. Roman, who is recently retired from the Army himself, said that it was a "very touching moment." When I asked Mario Alejandrino how he felt about being with his daughter for Basic Training and AIT Training he said that he was "very relieved" and when I asked Gabrielle how she felt she said, "It gives me a sense of security."
Mario plans on making the Army his career and Gabrielle also is hoping that this is something that she will like enough to retire. If not when it is time for her to get out she will come out with a degree and will be able to work at places like Microsoft or Dell and also continue her education which will be paid for by the Army. When asked if they were worried about the possibilities of going to Iraq Gabrielle said, "I am more nervous about going to boot camp then the possibility of going to Iraq." Mario said, "I am fine with going to do what I have to do; this is my career not my job."
So, on June 26, 2008 Mario will not be bringing his daughter to the airport to go to Basic training like the usual Dad (or Mom) would be; he will be joining his daughter in an experience of a lifetime; the Army.

We're in the final 10 days or so of hope for hockey fans of a 2012-13 NHL season – a situation that Devils GM Lou Lamoriello finds embarrassing.
It also has to be incredibly frustrating for two teams in particular: the Devils, and the Rangers – for very different reasons:
The Devils are coming off a stirring playoff run to the Stanley Cup Finals, a string of success that helped the bottom line so much that Forbes recently estimated that the Devils finished the season in the black by nearly $3 million.
That makes it one of the best financial seasons in Devils history: missing a season of hockey when the Devils played in the Meadowlands actually would help, not hurt, the one-season bottom line (recognizing potential longterm fallout could make that an overall negative).
But all signs indicate that the Devils were on the verge of announcing a restructuring of their debt as well as new investment partners. Pair those issues with increased ticket sales, and 2012-13 had been shaping up to be a major step forward in franchise fortunes. Heady stuff, given how gloomy their prospects seemed to be in the fall of 2011. But the Devils are giving back much of their gains thanks to a poorly-timed lockout.
For the Rangers, this is/was supposed to be their first season playing in the mostly-transformed Madison Square Garden – where the new seats and luxury suites are all in, and tearing down of numerous walls has made the concourses seem magically larger even as the building itself remains the same size. You know what else was supposed to be much larger? Revenues from those upgraded seats and suites.
Oh, yes, it's also a season where the acquisition of All-Star Rick Nash might have been the missing piece for a team that came up short against the Devils in the Eastern Conference Finals.
There are plenty of franchises in the position the Devils once were: bemoaning the potential loss of a season, but recognizing that the shortterm financial damage is not so great.
But the current Devils can't be consoled on that front – and the Rangers are staring into the abyss of losing what is left of what could have been the most lucrative in franchise history.

Paramount Theatre
727 Church Street,
2 people favorited this theater
This was a "hardtop" theatre designed by famed theatre architect John Eberson in an Art Deco style. It is mentioned in passing in Ben Hall's book "The Best Remaining Seats". The Paramount Theatre opened on November 14, 1930. My mother remembers the organ was still in use during World War II when she was going to the movies. By 1950 the Paramount Theatre was operated by Crescent Amusement Co. It was still open in 1957.
Nashville had several big movie palaces downtown, three on Church Street. All have been razed. A parking lot is now on the site of the Paramount Theatre.

I'm sure you're right, Mike. Everywhere you look there's some cheaper way to run things. And of course there are experienced people sitting at home unable to find work.
I'm glad I'm an old man and have had my day- sure wouldn't want to start over in today's world.
I'll just sign as "The Old Grouch"
(I'd rather be a has-been than a never-was)
RIGHT ON,Dave,If you were an operator,thanks for the years you gave us in the booth.I got out right when all that was about to change,I wanted to manage and promote films,the Booth was your guys world.
No I didn't work in the booth but I was a good union billposter in my young days. I bet you remember old Mac who managed the Capitol and then the Bordeaux- I posted a lot of paper with him. That was in the winter, in the summer I was off with the circus. Oops- I'm going to air all my old linen here if I don't watch it.
Tis,Nick wrote somewhere he wants more PICTURES.You send them down and I will see that he gets them or by-pass Me and Mail them to Nick,any personal pics from your days?
the Paramount was managed by the Sudekum brothers and on june 5 1915 an Nashville ad ran about the silent era movie "Sam Davis- A Hero of the Sixties.Realtive of mine Joshua Brown was in the movie which is about the heroic civil war life of Sam Davis who was hung by federal forces for not giving up intelligence sources.on 5-30-1915 another article ran about this movie in the Nashville paper and dedicted cast members Lucile Wilson Sudekum, Hap Sudekum, russell A Rose and Joshua Brown. looking for more images from this heroic production as it was made at Travellers Rest and fair grounds. Talley Bailey
i posted wrong theatre as it was the Parthenon Theatre that had Sam Davis movie.
The Parthenon does not have a page here. It was at 411 Church St and only lasted about a year from mid-1915 to mid-1916.
Harry Sudekum died young in 1930. His widow Lucille did not die until 1954 but is buried or entombed with him in the old Mausoleum at Spring Hill. Harry managed the Princess in its early days.
Clarence"Hap" Sudekum was the youngest of the Sudekum brothers and managed the Roxy all through the 1940s.
Frank Bobo, who played the "Mighty Wurlitzer" at the Paramount, was also a staff musician at WSIX Radio where my mother worked. He played for my parents' wedding in 1947. I remember seeing the Paramount console, but never heard the organ. This would've been sometime in the 50s; console was still in the orchestra pit. Unfortunately the organ was removed by a person who scattered it abroad instead of saving it or selling it to someone who would preserve it.
On the contrary, MPotts, if you'll check the book "The Wurlitzer Pipe Organ" – An Illustrated History, by David Junchen, published in 2005, you'll see a picture of the restored 1930 Nashville Paramount Wurlitzer, Opus 2132, 3 manual/15 rank, Balaban 3 style, on page ix in the Preface section of the book. Jeff Weiler, present day theatre organist, is posing in front of the console. The organ is very much alive and playable!

May 5, 2016
NEW YORK (AP) - NBC says it worked with Olympic officials to stop some 45,000 instances of illegally posted video or pirate streams that surfaced to show competition during the Sochi games.
The chase after video pirates operates in the shadows with an intensity all its own. Broadcasters pay big money to the International Olympic Commission in return for exclusive TV and streaming rights and guard that exclusivity keenly. In NBC's case, the network paid $775 million for the Sochi rights.
Officials estimated Thursday that some 20,000 Olympic videos were kept off YouTube and 20,000 more off other video-sharing sites around the world.
The anti-piracy police also said they located and stopped as estimated 5,000 illegal streams of Olympic material, much of it live competition.

Union Countys Ray Jiminez, left, is late with the tag on a steal attempt in UCs 12-2 victory over the Baker Bulldogs Thursday at Lions Field. (Casey Kellas/The Observer)
The Union County 15-year-old Babe Ruth all-star team is in good position after two days of the District 3 tournament.
UC is 3-0 and is the No. 1 seed heading into today's 10 a.m. game against the Baker Bulldogs.
"(This is the position we wanted to be in) most definitely," Union County manager Matt Duncan said. "Looking at the state bracket, the champion of this tournament does not get a good draw. But these boys don't want to lose a game. They want to win this tournament on their home field."
After a 22-13 victory over Snake River Valley on Wednesday night, Union County picked up two wins on Thursday. UC defeated the Baker Bulldogs 12-2 in the morning before holding on for a 7-4 victory over the Baker Diamondbacks in the evening.
The win over the Diamondbacks secured the No. 1 seed for Union County heading into championship Friday.
A Jared Neiss RBI single scored Ray Jimenez to get Union County on the board in the top of the first inning, before an RBI infield single by Jake Workinger made it 2-0.
But Baker was able to answer with two runs of its own in the bottom of the first inning. A sacrifice fly by Rab Bowers cut into the lead, and an RBI single by Seth Dixon tied the game.
After Union County regained the lead in the second inning when Trent Shafer scored on a wild pitch, the Diamondbacks struck for two runs to take the lead, 4-3, on starting pitcher Jordan Vermillion.
"We were shaky at the beginning," Duncan said of the pitching. "Jordan caught the first game this morning and came in and said 'I'd go one more but I don't have my legs under me.' So we brought in our all-star pitcher, Ryan, and he threw shutout ball."
After Ryan Adams relieved Vermillion on the mound, he held the Diamondbacks in check the rest of the way, working his way out of a couple jams.
And his offense was able to help him along the way as well.
Union County tied the game when Workinger scored on a Baker error in the third inning. An RBI single by Neiss in the fourth put Union County on top and the hosts never looked back.
A two-run seventh gave Adams a little cushion and he was able to close the door on the Diamondbacks.
"We hit the ball well," Duncan said. "We faced probably the two best pitchers we're going to see in the whole tournament (against the Diamondbacks). We've seen them before. You can't go with the same horses every game. They were tired. I could see that. The boys were able to see it, their moral got higher and they finally hit the ball."
Adams got the win, striking out three along the way.
Neiss finished 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs, while Zack Jacobs went 2-for-4. Jimenez, Workinger and Ross Duncan each added one hit.
If Union County is able to beat the Bulldogs at 10 a.m., it will face the winner of Snake River Valley and the Diamondbacks in the tournament championship at 7 p.m. today at Optimist Field.
Union County 12
Powered by a 3-run home run by Workinger and a 2-run home run by Adams, Union County was able to 10-run the Baker Bulldogs in five innings in Thursday's afternoon contest.
Duncan worked four innings on the mound, striking out four and allowing two runs to earn the win.
Neiss and Isaiah Cranford both finished 2-for-4 at the plate in the win.
Union County 22
The Union County squad learned a big lesson during the opening day of the Babe Ruth tournament
No lead is safe.
According to Duncan, the Union County squad thought the game was out of reach when they held a 13-3 lead over the Snake River Valley Nationals after three innings.
But after the top of the fifth inning, the Snake River Valley team had rallied to tie the game.
Union County went on to win the game, but the lesson may have a big effect on his team, Duncan said.
The two teams combined for 25 hits and 35 runs in the near three-hour game at Optimist Field.
Union County started the game by jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, only to have SRV come back with three runs.
The Snake River Valley lead disappeared in the bottom of the second inning when Union County came up with five runs, then added another six in the bottom of the third inning.
Snake River Valley scored four runs in the fourth inning and added another six in the top of the fifth inning when they tied the score at 13-13.
Adams went to the mound in the fifth inning for Union County with a 13-10 lead and only one out.
But Adams couldn't keep three more runs from scoring, with a fielding error helping two runners score to tie the game.
But Adams was able to shut down Snake River Valley in the final two innings, holding them scoreless.
Duncan finished the scoring battle with six RBIs and two doubles leading Union County through six innings.
Workinger started on the mound for Union County, and helped trigger the team's second wave of scoring in the fifth when his double broke the tie and scored Cranford and Jacobs.
Vermillion and Shafer got on, loading the bases, allowing Jimenez to score two more runs with a one-out single.
Cranford came to bat for a second time in the inning, scoring two runs with a single up the middle, for a 19-13 lead by Union County.
In the sixth inning, Duncan hit a bases-loaded double to score three runs and close out the scoring.
"That Ontario team is a heck of a hitting team," the Union coach said after the game.
"But these boys (Union) are very offensive-minded, too."
The fact that the team came back after losing a 10-run lead showed a lot of character, coach Duncan said. "It also showed them that no matter how big a lead, you have got to protect it," Duncan said.
"They knew they were in a ball game after that long (fifth) inning," he said.

Bankrate: On what level have you matured and on what level do you still
consider yourself a teen?
Macy Gray: I don't go to clubs anymore, which is a real sign I'm getting
older. I like to go to Fashion Week and see all the new clothing trends instead. I'll go to dinner or birthday parties,
but no clubs anymore.
I remember when I was young and
going there, I'd see older people and we would
always call them "Uncle" and make fun
of them. For the first time, I'm thinking about
my future and the stability of it. I've always
lived in the moment and never really thought about
a year or two from now. But I'm thinking more
about my finances and maybe that's because of
my children.
Bankrate: Where and how do you like to spend your money?
Macy Gray: I like gambling -- Las Vegas or anywhere really. I like playing
poker and I'm actually pretty good at it. (She came in third place in a Celebrity Poker Tournament) If not poker, than
video games.
I also love traveling to Europe. I like going to new places and seeing new cultures, new faces. You
realize how small America is. And I'm attached to massages. There's nothing like spending money on a good massage. And
I like going to movies and spending money on food. Plus I like going to comedy clubs because I like to laugh. I think
it's crucial to have a good time and laugh, and I laugh easily anyway.
Bankrate: Do you like to live extravagantly?
Macy Gray:
Not really. My clothing line is coming along,
slowly. "Humps" is for voluptuous women and it's
within my Natalie Hinds collection. But that's
a lot of work. A perfect day for me is not lavish
at all. It's laying in bed all day. I love those
days; and then I'll get out of bed around 8 p.m.,
finally get up and go have dinner and then back
to bed and read. I think that's one of the best
days ever.
Bankrate: What are some recent books you enjoyed?
Macy Gray: I remember two years ago, I read "In My Skin," a book for teenagers
about a black girl who discovers herself and how her race impacts her life. It was really interesting. I was raised to
think that my color was really powerful.
I had a mother who was really into
civil rights. From her point of view, being black
was the best thing and I never felt inferior or
not being able to have things. That was great,
but at the same time, when racism is being thrown
at me, I don't notice it that much because, in
my head, I'm just as cool as everybody else. So
the book was different because this girl was almost
consumed by racism.
Bankrate: If you were to write a song on your life, what would it be called?
Macy Gray: "The Sexiest Woman Alive."
Bonnie Siegler is a freelance writer in Los Angeles.

The Cleveland Indians have signed former Red Sox and (two time MVP of the World Baseball Classic!!) Daisuke Matsuzaka or "Dice-K". CBS's Jon Heyman's reports that deal could worth as much as $4 million.
Dice-K agrees to #indians deal
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) February 10, 2013
Dice-K has chance to make $4M w/ #indians deal. #gyroball
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) February 10, 2013
And the PlainDealer's Paul Hoynes reported that his base salary would be $1.6 million.
Daisuke Matsuzaka will make $1.5 million in base salary if he passes physical and makes team. #Indians.
— paul hoynes (@hoynsie) February 10, 2013
Like Jason Giambi, signing the 32 year old Matsuzaka is another low-risk, high-reward move. After having Tommy John surgery in 2011, Dice-K was just 1-7 with an 8.28 ERA for the Red Sox in 2012, giving up 11 HRs in just 45 innings.
Known for his "gyroball", in 2006, the Red Sox paid $51 million just for the rights to negotiate with Matsuzaka and then proceeded to sign him for another $52 million. Dice-K went 50-7 in his six years in Boston, with an ERA of 4.52 and posting a 1.418 WHIP.
I wonder how much new manager Terry Francona had to do with this signing. Francona has talked in the past at how he's happy to be out of the crucible that is Boston Sports. Assuming he's healthy, I bet pitching in a no-pressure situation in Cleveland would be good for Matsuzaka (not to mention not having to live up to the expectations come with a $100 million contract).

Racially or religiously aggravated harassment
Date Produced: 24 June 2011
Title: Offences against the person
Offence: Racially or religiously aggravated harassment
Legislation: Crime and Disorder Act 1998, section 32
Mode of Trial: Either way
Statutory Limitations & Maximum Penalty: Section 32(1)(b) 7 years. Section 32(1)(a) 2 years.
Relevant Sentencing Guidelines
There is neither definitive guideline nor guideline case for racially or religiously aggravated harassment.
The SGC definitive guideline 'Assault and Other Offences Against the Person' establishes principles that can assist in racially or religiously aggravated harassment cases.
A court should firstly determine the appropriate sentence without taking account of the aggravated element and then make an addition to the sentence.
If proved, the following factors can be taken to indicate a high level of aggravation whether based on the victim's race, religion, disability or sexual orientation:
The offender's intention:
- the aggravated element was a planned part of the offence;
- the offence was part of a pattern of offending by the offender;
- the incident was deliberately set up to be offensive or humiliating to the victim or to the group of which the victim is a member.
The impact on the victim or others:
- the nature, timing or location of the offence was calculated to maximise the harm or distress it caused;
- the offence is shown to have caused fear and distress throughout a local community.
At the lower end of the scale, the aggravated element might be less serious if:
- it was limited in scope or duration;
- the motivation for the offence was not hostility based on the victim's race, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and the element of such hostility or abuse was minor or incidental.
Relevant Sentencing Case Law
R v Liddle and Hayes [2000] 1 Cr.App.R.(S.) 131
This case is no longer a guideline case. Perhaps its main significance now is the fact that in R v McDermott and Melaney [2009] 1 Cr.App.R.(S.) 110 the Court of Appeal highlighted three factors indentified in the judgement in R v Liddle and Hayes. "First, the seriousness of the conduct which can range from actual violence to threatening letters. Secondly, whether the conduct was solitary or persistent. Thirdly, its effect upon the victim."
R v Shand [2002] 1 Cr.App.R.(S.) 69
Shouted racial abuse at neighbour on a number of occasions. Victim's partner Afro-Caribbean and her three children of mixed race. Guilty plea. 15 months upheld.
R. v Gaunt [2004] 2 Cr.App.R.(S.) 37
Appellant, who was the manager of a business, pleaded guilty on the basis that he was aware of harassment over several years but did nothing to stop it happening. Sentence reduced to 6 months imprisonment.
R v McDermott and Melaney [2009] 1 Cr.App.R.(S.) 110
Harassment contrary to section 32(1)(b). Appellants and victim, a man of Pakistani origin, worked in a road maintenance gang. Truck driven with him in the back, causing him to be thrown about and struck with loose materials. On a later occasion, trousers removed at the side of a motorway exposing him to passing traffic. On a further occasion, tied to railings, stripped of clothes, hosed with water, prodded in genitals, photographed, slapped, discovered upon return to his locker that his clothes had been immersed in dirty water, and he could not find his car keys or phone. Racist abuse. Other incidents during the period of 10 months. Traumatised, did not return to work. Three years imprisonment upheld.
A perusal of reported cases establishes that the Court of Appeal regularly endorses sentences of 6 months and over for offences contrary to section 31 or section 32 of the act.
Decisions in Protection from Harassment Act 1997 section 4 cases may also be relevant. See the 'Harassment' template.
Recent Decisions reported in Current Sentencing Practice at B3-6.3B concentrate more upon offences contrary to section 31 of the act (covering the aggravated versions of sections 4, 4A and 5 of the Public Order Act), but are nonetheless may be of assistance.
Restraining Orders
Restraining orders on conviction
- Protection from Harassment Act 1997 section 5
- Archbold at 19-277f
Restraining orders on acquittal
- Protection from Harassment Act 1997 section 5A
- Archbold at 19-277fa
- R v Major [2011[1 Cr.App.R. 74

Education in Malaysia
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This is because there is no word for "parody" in Malay.
Avoid falling into the trap of heart!
Schools in Malaysia educate the children primarily about the smatijove, and also to become high achievers; eg. to be able to create the HIGHEST pile of pirated VCDs, the LONGEST line of cows, or even the BIGGEST Ramly burger. To achieve the best of the best results, school children are made to carry huge bags containing books that must weigh at least 57% of said child's own body weight. This builds up their back muscles and backbone so that they will not only look great, but have excellent overall posture. If you disagree with this, you are not patriotic! Note that much like in the military, students are required to wake up at 0600 hours every day. Uniforms are specially designed for dual purposes: firstly, to look as unattractive as humanly possible (because to have clothes that actually fit would be a sin, although some die-hard Malaysians claim that the normal uniform, which covers all parts of the body except the face and the hands, is already far too sexy). The uniform also functions as a portable torture device, trapping students in their own body heat in a country that is already close to 38°C on a normal day. Some schools go the extra mile by forcing some to wear blazers on top of their uniform. Efficiency of the uniform is maximized by strict rules against untucked shirts or rolled-up sleeves. Name tags are also utilized so that teachers don't actually have to remember your name.
The teachers in school have total control of you. They can whip, rotan, and smack you like there's no tomorrow when you do something stupid, such as forgetting to bring your name tag. No, you cannot sue a teacher, because your parents will never be on your side. Rest assured, though, that students do fight back. A popular way of coping with disciplinary action is to take drugs in the toilet, go back to the teacher's office and stab the teacher with a pair of scissors (I am not kidding).
The education system will at one point stream the children according to what they're "good at". Children who are weird or nerdy will be streamed towards science, while those who are too stupid to amount to anything useful will be streamed to the arts. Those who are only good at sports... well, who cares. As you can see, the Malaysian education system is kind enough to dictate your future for you.
In accordance with the institutionalized racism practiced in Malaysia (officially known as "Bumiputra Rights", where special privileges are given to the majority of the population), exam scores do not actually matter in examinations. Often you will see non-bumiputra students getting 7A's for their SPM (the Malaysian equivalent of the SAT's) finally working as pirated vcd sellers, while bumiputra students are given a free ride to study overseas, with their single A's. Malaysia is a one-of-a-kind country; it is probably the only place in the world where one has to fill in their race when sitting for a public examination. Upon writing 'bumiputra', you are automatically granted sixty marks. Bizarrely, non-bumiputras generally still manage to get the highest scores in the country.
After School Tuition is a must, as school teachers are generally too incompetent to teach their students anything useful. All Malaysian students must go to tuition classes to get the latest leaks in exams.
The education system of Malaysia is unique, being the only system in the world to penalize high achievers and reward idiots. Brains are exported overseas while the least brightest are nurtured locally, which is the main reason why Malaysians will be unable to differentiate between left and right by 2020. All Malaysians attend 11 years of compulsory brainwashing at government facilities called public schools. Upon graduating, ethnic Malays either enroll in top-quality world class Malaysian universities or creativity classes such as The Art of Mat Rempit and The Basics of Porno DVD Production, while non-Malays generally get the fuck out of the country.
A student sitting for the SPM examination is analogous to a cow, as this examination assesses the ability of students to swallow and regurgitate information. Subjects can be easily passed by memorizing the textbook without actually understanding anything. While other international examinations are increasing in standard every year, the SPM examination has shown a steady decline since the 70's. The reason is simple: if the standard is lowered, more students (Malays) will be able to score A's, and this would appear as if Malaysians are getting smarter every year.
For example, take a look at actual questions for SPM Math:
- 1960s: The equation 3x^2+px+120=0, where p >0 has roots α and β. α-β=3. Evaluate the value of p and (αβ)^2. Hence, calculate the third derivative of y=3x^2+px+120.
- 1980s: The quadratic equation x^2+px+q=0 has roots -2 and 6. Find the value of (p+q), hence, form a quadratic equation with roots p, q.
- 2000s: A quadratic equation has the roots 2 and 3. State the sum of 2 and 3.
- 2020s: If the number 2 is a color, would you like that color? Why?
The SPM has 6 compulsory subjects: Malay, substandard English, 'Modern' Math, Immoral Education for the kaffirs and Plane Hijacking for Muslims, PseudoScience and Fabricated History.
While Bumis learn how to slam planes into buildings, non-Muslim students have to tolerate 2 years of ineffective brainwashing during Moral lessons. The dynamics behind Moral Studies is simple: if you can memorize a pre-determined definition of a pre-determined "moral value", this means that you are a good person. If you cannot memorize the definitions, then you deserve to burn in hell.
Civics was introduced in 2005 by heroic politicians concerned for students' welfare , as well as teaching the students to love Malaysia ("Malaysia" is synonymous with "National Party") . Through the textbooks, Malaysian students are taught that Malaysia is a peaceful and multi-racial country unlike the US, where only whities exist (incidentally, this is also the lie given to tourists who otherwise could not be convinced to visit Malaysia instead of its slightly less backward neighbour, Singapore). Unfortunately, the lessons have backfired, as students largely use the lessons to catch up on sleep.
To protect young minds from the horrors of real life, "Sejarah", which is a parody of History, is also taught in schools. Topics included are Islam, Islam, the history of Islam, the contributions of Islam, Ways In Which The Sultans Of Old Whored Out The Country For A Few Pieces Of Gold, Malays, contributions of Malays, Why We Like Islam, and a short chapter briefly explaining all other historical events on earth since the beginning of man.
Language Dillema
Following a policy reversal of teaching Math and Science in English, nation-wide SPM test scores for rural areas increased by 0.005%, which government experts claim has huge significance even though most citizens in rural areas never have, and never will, travel more than 6.5 kilometers outside of their home town. Universities outside the country refuse to accept any SPM candidates and the Malaysian university ranking has plummeted another 20 places, sitting behind Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Somalia.
Cellphones in School
Malaysia is the one and only country where the Education Minister initially suggested that cellphones be allowed in schools, citing several benefits, only to change his mind just a few days later. Some reasons for the ban are that teachers worry about exposing too much cleavage, only to have the students take a shot and report it. Another worry is that students seem to like sending crude messages and disturbing pictures to each other after finishing their test papers too early and have another 2 hours to wait..
URM (Universiti Rasuah Malaysia)
Due to high demands, a new campus at Kuala Lumpur is now open. Required education for Datuks, Tan Sris, YB's, etc., both current and future. Courses available are:
- Foundation Study of Rasuah - It only takes a year to build up some basic skills (ie: apple-polishing, bargaining with police, playing golf with big people, and many more), this course will be conducted in Rojak (a mixture of six languages, more practical) and we have experts to guide you.
- Datukship - We teach you the methods to becoming a Datuk, Tan Sri, etc. You need a semester for this lah.
- Making a Fortune - We teach you 'government connections'. Three semesters are needed and you will be guided by ex-politicians/ex-businessmen (senior), to help you make a fortune in Malaysia.
- Foundation of Material Inspection - The one and only course which offers a"close one eye" inspection skill on buildings and amenities. Sign of a successful inspection are leakage, collapsing structures, mess up wires, etc...
- Certificate in Smartijove studies - Apply early as this space is quickily filled up every year. Quota: 99% Malays, 1% non-malays and other indegeneous people.
- Diploma in Racism - The only professor is Babi Hamaludin and nazi ass-is. You will be taught how to fuck over the Chinese and Indians
- Diploma in Politicism - We will teach you how to become a successful and influential politician, how to say "1Malaysia!" while simultaneously fucking the Chinks and Indian bastards up the ass, and how to deal with those annoying Al-Jazeera bitches that keep calling Malaysia an un-democratic country. Those who know how to pronounce "election" as "erection" will have a higher chance of being accepted.
- Ph. D in Mahathirism & Melayu-ism - Doing researches about important Malaysian subjects such as Money Politics, Ketuanan Melayu, Pendatang-ism, Melayu-ism and Dictatorshipism.
For more information, please call Kerishamuddin through mail to Kementerian Seks Malaysia.
IPTA (Public University)
Standard Bumiputra Rights apply.
Kolej (College)
Malaysia has private
universities colleges such as Monash and Taylor's Kolej (College). The lecturers speak in half broken english and the mispronounciations are hilarious. They claim to have PHDs and Doctorates but, usually bought from diploma such as Irish International University (which Ireland claims to have no knowledge of). Any questions they don't know the answer to will be answered: "cannot" + "lah" at the end.
Shorts and sandals are considered to be the uniform of most commoners. Shoes and proper clothings that you didn't sleep in are frowned upon. Kolej students spend their time in non-sexual relations such as mamak eating group massacres (ie: a group of 20+ malays to go eat at a local mamak) here they discuss their school work and watch wrestling.
Kolej in Malaysia is equivalent to a flea market in the hood; people are most likely to sell you something in between classes. They'll have excuses like "it's for charity" or some shit but we all know the money goes to the Chinese cook thats grinning behind the cafeteria booth. Everything costs extra money; your fees are not enough.
DISCLAIMER: The chinky chong who wrote this article has no PhD himself, neither has he done any research or has any publications in his life, but reserves the right to criticize the rest of the country. What about his broken english you say? It's called "chinklish", which he thinks is proper. To justify himself, Chinky ass here carries a certificate from his chinky sharman that says he has the widespread Bodohland-CHINK slit eye disease called Syok sendiri aka head up own ass syndrome.
DISCLAIMER-DISCLAIMER: The above racist fascist pig has obviously no merit to his argument and thus you may now disregard it and retain your (obviously biased) view on local Unis in Malaysia. He is also probably Malay and therefore does not recognize 'Freedom of speech' for other people, though he obviously exercises his freedom of speech. He probably thinks it's his Allah-given right.
THIRD DISCLAIMER: The shorts and sandals thing is true, though. Also I've fixed up the English a bit.
Art Colleges
Art students in Malaysia are not allow to study human body drawing, it was banned some 20 years ago because the government see it as GATAL (erotic, dirty and lustful). No no, you are not allow to see nudes (that explains why the country is so desperate about pr0n on the internet). If you go to an art college in Malaysia, human anatomy sessions mean drawing male models wearing football pants. The Malay-Muslim art students are also not allowed to draw women wearing the Malay traditional sarong, because that is also consider GATAL. Today, there is a controversy going on. Malay-Muslim art students came up with a brilliant idea of drawing invisible women dressed only in Victoria Secret panties and bras. Whether or not this will be allowed or banned, we shall know in the near future.

Adding solar power on a metal roof is an expensive investment, but offers significant long-term savings.
Trees hinder solar energy production, but with trees' environmental benefits, is it OK to cut them down?
Here's an overview of how solar panels function, the purpose of solar inverters and benefits of a monitoring system.
Angie's Answers
Are you talking about powering your home solely on solar (i.e. no back up power source or off grid).
The power, once convered from DC to AC via the inverter, is suitable for use by the home.
Most solar application are in supplement to the current powering of the home and will spin the meter back in the day but are not the primary.
OK - that should strike Atlantic Plumbing off your vendor list !
You say female pipe to copper pipe connection - I hope you are not saying they connected copper directly to galvanized or black iron pipe. If so, there should have been a dielectric union put in there to prevent corrosion, which could be part of your problem.
Also, generally a bad idea to use teflon tape for hot water tank connections - too much thermal cycling, loosens it up over time. Should use plumbers dope for that application.
It sounds to me like a connection problem - if the tank itself was leaking it should be flooding the top of the tank or more likely running down through the insulation and dripping out the bottom.
Unless you are a do it yourselfer, sounds like you need to find a new plumber with good reviews and rating in your area - Search the List (in green banner bar). This should be an easy fix - should have him put in dielectric couplings (about $5-10 each depending on pipe size) if current connection is iron to copper, and even if not, have him redo connection not only for cold but also hot water - if one was done poorly, probably both were.
Solar Panel Installation reviews in Albany
on Good Morning America for advertising such a HORRIBLE company. I made a
HUGE, GIGANTIC, mistake signing with . If I could take down
the panels, I would. They have lied to me since last February when I
signed. I have ...MoreRead more of this review been put off, lied to, and mislead. has taught
their salespeople to lie and tell the customer anything just to get
them signed. Finally got hooked up in June and in October, I received a
bill from NV Power for $750.00, while I pay $112.00 a month
for 73% of Solar Power, which I was promised 95%. Go figure. I have
called and they told me on 11/15/2015 it's not their problem, but it's ok
that I am now paying DOUBLE in electric when they promised to save me

HORRIBLE company. All of the salesmen I have worked with have left the
company. What does that say about the company? Go with Sun Run, they
are a better company and they don't lie and steal from their customers.
My friend went with them, and she is very happy with them
I did a lot of research into various companies providing solar installations -- roughly 10 companies, both local and national. stood far above them all in just about every aspect.
Elemental was very quick to respond to my initial consultation request on their website, where some other companies didn't ...MoreRead more of this review respond for weeks!
Elemental was very friendly and amiable where some other companies' representatives were awkward and difficult to interface with.
Elemental was prompt and professional where some other companies showed up to appointments a half hour late with no warning or explanation.
Elemental was very easy to communicate with, forthcoming with information when I asked questions, and great at explaining very technical details in an understandable, manner. Some other companies made me feel like I was pulling teeth.
Elemental was respectful of my privacy and not at all pushy on the sales front where some other companies incessantly emailed and called me on the phone trying to my business back after I'd already told them 'no'. Ugh.
Elemental was incredibly quick to install everything. The panels and electrical wiring were physically in place only 10 days after me signing the contract, and it was completed within the span of a single day. Other companies gave me estimates as high as 6 months before they would be able to begin construction.
Elemental's employees have been directly involved with non-profit organizations that work to provide clean water and energy to developing nations around the world. It felt pretty great personally to support a business whose members do such work.
Perhaps most objectively, Elemental's quote was less than almost every other quote I received for a comparable system, often significantly so. One company offered a lower bid, but they had .... other problems. (see above)
has continued to stay in touch since the system was installed, offering support and answers to my technical questions.
The system's online now, supplying my house with electricity. Everything went so smoothly! If we need another solar system installed at any point in the future, will be the company I call.
First, a door-to-door salesman came around pitching a solar system. I was not home at the time, and since we have been considering options for solar systems, she asked the rep to come back at a later date. About a week later another sales rep came back for a 'consultation'. ...MoreRead more of this review He thought we had an appointment that was scheduled with the door-to-door rep, and was surprised that we were not expecting him. The door-to-door rep never made an appointment, but rather just said he'd come back at a later date.
Since the consultant was in our front yard, I chatted with him about the products offers - Basically they sell you a complete grid-tied solar system, and finance it so that your monthly payments are roughly similar or less than your current electric bill, over some defined period. The consultant was amenable, and I was interested, so I requested a free quote. This time we did actually schedule an appointment.
The consultant showed up promptly at the scheduled time to go over the 'proposal' with me. His supervisor also showed up to go over details with me. Since I make it a point to never invite people into my house who cold call, I did not invite them into the house, preferring to talk with them standing in the driveway. They invited themselves in, and when I said no, things got strange. The supervisor then insisted that my wife also be present to go over the proposal. The supervisor was giving off a very strange vibe, and decided that he did not want to go over the proposal with me. Something was very off with him, so I told them that they were making me uncomfortable and asked them to leave. It is a shame. I was really interested in what they had to offer. But the cold-call, combined with the non-existent scheduled consultation, combined with the insistence to come into my house and the insistence to not show me the proposal with out my wife present was very very strange, and very very unprofessional.
Add to this that there is very little information about the company on their website, including no local address nor local phone number makes me very suspicious of these guys. At best they are very new, have no experience in home improvements, and may improve with experience. At worst, these guys are very suspicious and potentially dangerous.
The panels were installed in a professional and timely manner. The reason I'm giving them low ...MoreRead more of this review is because once the panels were installed, and I was locked into my 20 year agreement, the communication went downhill. My point person would often take a week or more to get back to me. He told me that power would be turned on in 7-8 weeks and I had nothing else to do or worry about. That was not the case. On two seperate occassions, after I called them, they realised I hadn't signed all of the documents even though they previously told me I had. They claim this didn't delay my power being turned on, but I don't see how that's true. My power was eventually turned on 20 weeks after the panels were installed instead of 7-8 weeks. That's three months later than they assured me. I felt it would be right for them to credit me back two months of power which amounted to less than $160. Not a lot, but it would be a nice gesture. It took me four weeks of calls/emails and getting bounced from person to person before they told me that they could give me either $40 back or a $100 gift card to Restaurants.com. Really? A giant corporation can't cough up $160 credit? When I told the supervisor that I'd be telling my neighbors and putting this all in my online reviews she said it was illegal to include her name. Not sure if that's true, but I don't feel like being sued over this, so I'm leaving her name out of it.
Seeing as solar companies are a dime a dozen and they all pretty much offer the same deals, just go with another company that has better customer service. I wish I had.
Unfortunately from there things went south.
There were a total of 4 inspections done on the house as a result of multiple failures.
1. The first inspection failed as a result of ...MoreRead more of this review the inspector finding the sealant they used to be insufficient for outdoor use.
2. The second inspection failed when the inspector actually went inside and looked at the electrical work and found that they had hooked up to my panel without the 3 feet of clearance needed to pass inspection.
- This would not have been a big issue as I understand that they did not setup my basement. The part that unbeknownst to me the electrician had a conversation with my father-in-law and even told him it would not pass inspection but decided to do the work anyway.
3. As a result of failed inspection 2 it was determined that in an attempt to expedite things they would hook up to the socket outside to move and replace the panel.
- This also resulted in a failed inspection because the local inspector informed them that when they move and replace an electrical panel it is considered a service upgrade and requires the socket to be replaced outside. The plan to hook up in this manner ended up causing extra time to the project by a couple weeks.
4. The fourth inspection was really a 4th and 5th inspection because the inspector needed to come out and confirm everything appeared OK before electricity could be turned back on in my house and then to come back out and finally pass the inspection.
While (the office manager) was sympathetic for the issues came out for the installation at the beginning of May and we did not pass inspection until .
With confirmation that the system had been turned on I was told a few weeks later I had a conversation with that they would be mailing me paperwork and to send it back once I received it. I waited a few weeks before calling and apparently no one found it necessary to send it out. I also had to contact the monitor company so I could get an account setup as no one had provided any guidance as to setup monitoring in the month that I had service. The paperwork I got was found to be lacking as well, while it did contact manuals it had no note or anything as to what the forms were for and a copy of the 2014 tax forms as well. When I inquired I was told they were just for reference but a note would have been helpful.
Overall it seems like other customers had no issues but every step of the way I encountered issues and lost 2 months of production(they did reimburse me for one month) and have had absolutely no guidance from on what is needed to be done to sell my SRECs when they do become available when the state certifies my system in January.
I would never be able to recommend to anyone I know looking for solar.
My neighbor, who also has solar panels in his house, recommended them highly and I see now why. The same person told me all about solar and the great financial incentives that ...MoreRead more of this review are particular to the state of WA (in addition to the 30% tax credit). In my mind this is a NO BRAINIER of an investment, if you are passed the price tag and if you have decent sun exposure. It takes very basic math to figure it out and is great at explaining if you don't.
In a matter of a week after I first contact and (who came to my house) I was signing a contract with them. All the timeline and milestones that the laid out for me were met. In two weeks or so, can to survey our roof. Panels were ordered on time and the installation was done also as promised a month later or so. The actual installation took only 2 days, so actually 1day less than what they had originally predicted (way to go and his crew!)
You can really tell that they have great communication (just as a family should be!). One you talk to one of them, he/she would know what you have talked to the other one.
A week after the panels were installed, came to our house and delivered a nice binder with lots of information about our panel system. They call it a "Costumer Care Book". Talk about customer care and professionalism! he took the time to go over it with me.
Did I mention that they were all so willing to respond questions so many times along the way? you really feel backed up by the Sunergery team. was another person who also was so patient with me. She told me that they are (and will continue) checking my energy production regularly to make sure that it is doing what they estimated. They also installed a wireless gauge that connects to the internet so I can check how much energy I use and produce at any given time in my pc/phone. This has become one of my obsessions now.
I have recommended to enyone with my eyes closed. Indeed, a couple of friends got enthusiastic and contacted them also. It turns out that they had too much shade in their roofs so Sundergy told it might not be a good investment for them...talk about work Ethics now!!
This is the first time a write a review about anybody or anything in Yelp, but I feel this is the least I can do for such great team of people.
Needless to say, but just to make sure I get the point across, they are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (that's why I know all their names)

|Family of Hollywood actor/producer Bill Self gives Annie Oakley collection to Buffalo Bill's Wyoming museum.
|News Releases - Art, Galleries & Museums
|Written by BBCHC
|Tuesday, 01 November 2011 11:29
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { }
Bill Self (1921 – 2010) appeared in more than 30 films between 1945 and 1952, including "Red River" directed by Howard Hawks, and went on to produce many feature films including "The Shootist" starring John Wayne. His love for the American West was kindled early on with a movie about a lady sharpshooter, Annie Oakley.
Once 15-year-old Bill Self saw Barbara Stanwyck star as Annie Oakley at the Keith Theatre in Dayton, Ohio, he was hooked. Oakley's brother, who lived nearby, had loaned some of his Oakley memorabilia for display in the theatre lobby. The 1935 film and the memorabilia fired Self's imagination, and his fascination with Oakley and William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody took root.
As the story goes, Bill Self had embraced Annie Oakley's work so much, that after that first movie, he contacted Oakley's brother, and the two became friends. Then, at age 17, he started writing an Oakley biography and persuaded his family to travel to Cody, Wyoming, so that he could study the Oakley scrapbooks in what was then the original Buffalo Bill Museum.
He even went so far as to coax the museum's founder and curator, Mary Jester Allen (Buffalo Bill's niece), to name him Assistant Historian—complete with letterhead stationery and business cards! The book he started was never published, but Self's love for Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill, and the West led to service on the Board of Trustees of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center from 1984 until his death in 2010.
On Friday, September 23, 2011, Self's daughter, Barbara Self Malone, on behalf of herself and her brother, Edwin B. Self, presented a large collection of their father's Annie Oakley memorabilita to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. Over the years, the elder Self had given much of his Annie Oakley collection to the Center, adding to its extensive Buffalo Bill and western history holdings. Included in this bequest and previous gifts were clothing, letters, gear, firearms, photographs, and other memorabilia.
"Dad always loved heroes," Malone says. "Even as a teenager, he was fascinated by Annie Oakley. She took risks; she excelled; and she had a strong connection to the American West. With his collection, he felt connected to Annie Oakley; and with his early experiences in that Buffalo Bill Museum, he never hesitated in his desire that the collection should one day go to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center."
Part of the bequest was a ca.1892 William Cashmore rifle produced by Charles Lancaster & Company. Malone and her husband, George, formally presented the English-made double rifle—thought to be the customized to Oakley's measurements with a silver AO on the stock—at a luncheon of the Center's Board of Trustees in Cody.
The Historical Center has one of the most important Annie Oakley collections in existence including clothing, gear, saddle, firearms, posters, and photographs.
"We couldn't be more pleased about this acquisition," Executive Director and CEO Bruce Eldredge said. "With it, we add significantly to our Annie Oakley collection—much of it due to the generosity of Bill Self and his family. These latest treasures are truly extraordinary."
Committed to connecting people with the Spirit of the American West, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, an Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, weaves the varied threads of the western experience—history and myth, art and Native culture, firearms technology and the nature of Yellowstone—into the rich panorama that is the American West. For general information, visit www.bbhc.org, or call 307.587.4771.
William E. "Bill" Self was born in Dayton, Ohio, on June 21, 1921. After his graduation from the University of Chicago in 1943, he made his way to Los Angeles to become an actor. His first role was that of Private Gawky Henderson in the 1945 film The Story of G.I. Joe. All told, between 1945 and 1952, he appeared in over 30 films.
In 1952, Self moved to the less glamorous side of the camera and launched his extensive career in television production, first with CBS Television Network, and later to a 15-year stint with Twentieth Century Fox. He left Fox in 1975 to join with Mike Frankovich in the development and production of television and feature films, a partnership that was short-lived but produced The Shootist (1976), John Wayne's last film, and From Noon Till Three (1976) starring Charles Bronson.
Later, Self returned to CBS in several capacities, eventually being tapped as President of CBS Theatrical Film Production. He served in this capacity for three years, supervising the creation of 10 movies. After that, when CBS decided to discontinue its feature film business, Self created the independent William Self Productions to develop both television and feature films. In partnership with Norman Rosemont, Self produced several works for television's Hallmark Hall of Fame. His Sarah, Plain and Tall, co-produced with Glenn Close, received the highest rating of any Hallmark Hall of Fame to that date.
From childhood, Self was described as having "enthusiasms"—keen interests that became life-long pursuits. After he won a citywide contest in Dayton to appear in a magic show, he developed a love for magic and had memberships in several magic organizations. His early love for movies served him well later in film and television. And, after meeting a champion tennis player in the lobby of a theatre in 1932, Self convinced his parents to buy him a tennis racket—leading to many a match with the likes of Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, and Jack Warner, among other Hollywood notables.
Because of his affinity for Buffalo Bill, his Wild West show, Annie Oakley, and the American West, Self was appointed to the Buffalo Bill Museum Advisory Board of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in 1982 and became a member of the Center's Board of Trustees in 1984, a position he held until his death in 2010.
Annie Oakley was born Phoebe Ann Moses—Annie to her family—on August 13, 1860, in Darke County, Ohio. After the death of her father and stepfather, the 9-year-old Oakley lived with the superintendent's family at the Darke County Infirmary, which housed the elderly, the orphaned, and the mentally ill. In exchange for helping with the children, Oakley received an education and learned the skill of sewing, which she would later use to make her own costumes.
As a young teen, she returned to her family after her mother had married a third time. To help with family finances, Oakley used her father's old Kentucky rifle to hunt small game for the local grocery store for resale to hotels and restaurants. Her hunting enterprise was so successful that she was able to pay the $200 mortgage on her mother's house with the money she'd earned…and she was just 15 years old!
One of her "customers"—who was impressed with her shooting—invited her to participate in a contest against well-known marksman, Frank E. Butler. Oakley won the match with 25 shots from 25 attempts; Butler missed one, but that didn't stop him from being totally enamored of his opponent. Eventually, the two shooters were married on August 23, 1876.
The Butlers traveled with their shooting performances, signed up with the Sells Brothers Circus for one season in 1884 as "champion rifle shots," and then joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West in 1885. Oakley became a star attraction, and Butler was content to be her manager and assistant. The two prospered with the Wild West and remained with the show for 16 years—including two trips to Europe that secured her position as a seasoned performer and star of the Wild West. In truth, Annie Oakley may have been the first woman celebrity.
Because of a desire for less travel, the Butlers left Buffalo Bill in1901. They did continue to perform, however, finally retiring from shooting exhibitions in 1913. Eventually they moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina, where Oakley wrote a touching eulogy for Cody in 1917, noting "the passing of a golden era."
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Oakley unsuccessfully offered to raise a regiment of woman volunteers to fight in the war and went so far as volunteering to teach marksmanship to the troops. She gave her time to the National War Council of the Young Men's Christian Association, War Camp Community Service, and the Red Cross. She had, by all accounts, a very philanthropic soul.
In 1926, after 50 happy years of marriage, the Butlers passed away within three weeks of each other: Annie Oakley died on November 3, and Frank Butler died November 21. Both died of natural causes after a long and adventuresome life.
Annie Oakley about husband Frank Butler, June 30, 1926, five months before his death
"He is so gloomy and looks so queer and bad. And he will sure go if he does not think of more pleasant things and stop reading all the murders and things that pray on his mind."
Annie Oakley to husband Frank Butler, October 21, 1926, two weeks before her death
"Jimmie. Sorry you fainted, but you are in the best hands you could get into. Don't try to write any of your checks. Just sign…So glad you are getting some sunshine there. Hope you feel better."
Annie Oakley to husband Frank Butler, undated
"Don't tell me anything about the house. Just tell me about yourself."
The latest additions to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center's collections include several personal letters between Annie Oakley and her husband, Frank Butler—evidently the last ones they wrote to each other. Literally touching that correspondence, seeing the handwriting, and sampling the sentiment—as brief as it was—gives new insight into the life of Buffalo Bill's star, Sitting Bull's "Little Sure Shot," and Frank Butler's "Missie."
But, this recent acquisition also provides a window on Bill Self, the collector. Simply put, his collection of Annie Oakley photographs, clippings, film, letters, and objects is extraordinary. Witness:
In this collection, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center can celebrate the spirit of the American West anew and join the Self family in commemorating Bill's Self love for the West.

LEVI STRAUSS & CO. ACQUIRES LICENSEE DC COMPANYLevi Strauss & Co. has acquired DC Company, the denim giant's main footwear and accessories licensee in Europe, Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia, and licensee partner since 1987.
The acquisition is a strategic move that will strengthen Levi Strauss & Co.'s retail business by offering consumers an enhanced range of head-to-toe Levi's brand looks available in Levi's brand stores and department stores.
"By bringing the footwear and accessories business in-house, we will be able to combine DC Company's expertise in footwear development, sourcing and distribution, and its entrepreneurial approach with Levi Strauss & Co.'s broad footprint across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia," said Armin Broger, President, Levi Strauss Europe, Middle East and North Africa. "This action will strengthen our brand by offering consumers compelling head-to-toe choices."
"This acquisition gives us an excellent opportunity to further drive consistency across the Levi's brand, by now including a category which holds enormous commercial potential for our business," added Aaron Boey, President Levi Strauss Asia Pacific Division. "The seamless integration of our footwear and accessories lines to our main apparel lines will certainly strengthen our position as the original and definitive jeanswear lifestyle brand."
Subsequently, Levi Strauss & Co. appointed Stefano di Martino, an experienced footwear executive, to lead its International Licensing and New Business division, which is responsible for developing the Levi's brand accessories business across Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Di Martino will lead the footwear and accessories business unit following the acquisition.
Di Martino's career includes a unique blend of both corporate and entrepreneurial experience with major consumer brands in the footwear sector. He joined Levi Strauss & Co. from Fila, where he held two concurrent roles – Chief Marketing and Product Officer for Fila Global based in New York, and CEO of Fila Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Prior to Fila, di Martino was President and CEO of Mares, a Scuba Diving division of Head Tyrolia Mares (HTM).
Di Martino began his career with Nike, where he spent 14 years in sales and marketing positions for footwear, apparel and sports equipment. As the Footwear Sales Director for the EMEA region, he managed a business of over $2 billion. He subsequently went on to lead a new division called Energy & Trend as GM, responsible for a team focused on the sportswear consumer.
"Footwear and accessories are a critical component of giving consumers a strong product experience every time they walk into a Levi's store," said di Martino, who joined the company on Jul. 1. "I'm excited to lead the Levi's brand's efforts to give consumers across Europe and Asia great footwear and accessories that complement our market-leading jeanswear."

Saturday was a solid day for Indian Land High School sophomore Rondreas Truesdale, who brought home the lion's share of Indian Land's winnings from the Class A state meet at Lower Richland High School in Hopkins.
Truesdale won the silver medal in the boys 110-meter hurdles at the meet Saturday, May 15.
Allendale-Fairfax High School senior Bashaud Breeland won the event with a time of 15.08. Truesdale posted a time of 15.11. Truesdale won the event in the Upper State meet May 8 with a time of 14.75.
The University of South Carolina at Lancaster Lancers' second season of baseball saw marked improvement over its rookie campaign.
USCL, led by second-year head coach Steve Williams, posted a winning season. The Lancers' season ended at the NJCAA Region X tournament, but USCL made history before bowing out in the field.
Top-seeded Spartanburg Methodist ended the USCL's postseason hopes with an 10-3 win in the tournament at Burlington (N.C.) Athletic Stadium.
The Lancer's eight-run loss to the Pioneers ended USC-L's season at 26-23.
Buford High School boys basketball coach Jeff Moyer's decision to lighten his coaching load is having a heavy impact on Neil Couch's coaching career.
Couch, with Moyer's move to yield his hoops coaching duties, will become the Jackets' head basketball coach. He has guided the BHS junior varsity team the last two years.
The move was made earlier this week at the Lancaster County Class A school, which will begin competing as a Class AA school with the start of the 2010-11 Lancaster County school term.
Indian Land advanced to the third round of the Class AA Upper State playoffs, downing county rival Buford, 6-2 in the teams' fifth meeting this spring.
IL and BHS split during regular-season play, with each winning at home. Buford had defeated IL in the Red Rose City Classic back in March.
After the two teams split in regular-season play, a special play-off match was held at Lancaster Memorial Stadium where the Warriors captured the title with an 8-2 win.
The Indian Land High School boys and girls track and field teams finished third overall at the Class A Upper State meet Saturday at Landrum High School.
Twelve Indian Land boys team members and nine IL girls team members qualified for the state meet, set for Saturday at Lower Richland High School in Hopkins.
The top four competitors in each event qualify for the state championship meet.
This time McBee played the spoiler.
A year ago in the elimination round of the Class A Upper State championship series, Buford ousted McBee in a close encounter, rallying late to notch an emotional one-run win.
McBee earned its diamond revenge Wednesday night at the Lady Panthers' softball field in extra innings.
Buford, the Class A defending state softball champion, saw its postseason hopes fade in a 5-4 loss in eight innings.
Lancaster High School junior cross country and track standout Wylie Penegar posted an 18:13 time to capture first place in the first Lancaster Area Literacy 5K road race on Saturday at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
Penegar, over the 3.1-mile course which covered through residential areas in the vicinity of the Gregory Health and Wellness Center at USCL, built his lead in the first three quarters of a mile.
Conference IV-AA champion Andrew Jackson launched the Class AA Upper State soccer playoffs in impressive fashion, notching a 4-0 win over Eau Claire of Columbia at Volunteer Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Vols defeated the Shamrocks twice during the regular season on the way to the league crown. AJ's 3-1 win over the Shamrocks last week sealed the league crown.
In the win on Tuesday at AJ, senior William Bridges tallied two goals as did junior Oliver Wall to pace the Volunteers' victory.
Brian Williams' strong play in the trenches has taken him to the next level.
Williams, a standout offensive lineman for the Lancaster Bruins, will be playing football at Methodist University in Fayetteville, N.C., after a solid career with LHS football program.
Williams, 6-2, 265, was a three-year starter for the Class AAAA Lancaster Bruins.
The Andrew Jackson and Indian Land girls' soccer teams opened the Class A-AA Upper State playoffs with impressive wins on Monday.
The Lady Vols of head coach Ronnie Wallace forged a 4-0 halftime lead on the way to a 6-0 win over Ninety Six of Greenwood.
Meanwhile, up in the Panhandle, Indian Land blanked Southside High School of Greenville, 6-0.
The Andrew Jackson Lady VOLS soccer team improved to 8-9 with their shutout win over the Lady Wildcats.
Amber Kelley had her third shutout of the season in the goal with eight saves.

Reviews for Who wants to be a Millionaire: Trivia DLC
A trivia dlc for a... trivia game?Tholdor | Sept. 18, 2012 | See all Tholdor's reviews »
Who Wants to be a Millionaire, based on that TV Show the channels worldwide so love to import, has a ton of DLCs, including sports, star trek, south park, etc editions. This one, amidst the themed packs, seems a bit pointless, and, let's say... crude. While the south park and star trek editions alter the scenery and offer more than the usual assortment of questions, this one is more of a vanilla-flavored booster pack. Not the best DLC of the game. I recommend getting the aforementioned Star Trek or South Park packs instead.
Nicejeyko | Aug. 8, 2012 | See all jeyko's reviews »
The best Who Wants to Be a Millionaire DLC! The cool and destinct thing is that the questions which are added are actually all kinds of categories, so you don't need to be a fanatic of a certain thing to answer them. If you think you don't have enough questions or you get repeats, definitely get the Trivia DLC!

Nintendo 3DS producer unsure of value of demos23 March 2011 15:32:33
Although the new Nintendo 3DS portable console is technically capable of offering downloadable demos, this might not be something Nintendo will allow for, it has been suggested.
Speaking to Wired.com, Nintendo 3DS' producer Hideki Konno cast doubts on the business sense of offering customers free demos.
"I question whether or not demos are effective," he told the news provider.
"There are cases where people play a demo game and they're satisfied with that play experience and they don't buy the game. There are also times when they play a demo and think, 'Wow, this is great, I'm going to buy this when I have the chance.' So whether or not it's an effective use of resources, I'm not sure."
However, Mr Konno did confirm that Nintendo will be looking to make remote updates to the 3DS throughout its lifespan, saying this would be something "really interesting to do".
The Nintendo 3DS will be released later this week on March 25th.
