ASPEN HILL, Md. (WUSA) -- Montgomery County police investigated a sexual assault in Aspen Hill which reportedly happened early Monday morning.
A woman told police on Monday morning she was raped by at least one person at the home in the 3800 block of Chesterwood Drive Sunday night. Police say a party was held at the home on Sunday night.
Later Monday morning, police determined that the sex assault did not occur but a spokesperson could not say yet if charges for a false report were pending.

Welcome to the Forums Raederle. I met a little girl whose father had named her Galadriel. Sometimes it is tough having an unusual famous name.
Looking forward to seeing your maps.
I'm a freelance digital painter, photo editor, health consultant, nutritionist, graphic designer and copy editor as well. A mouthful, huh?
I do all of these rather on and off as the clients come and go, and sell my nutritionally complete meal plans full of unique recipes off my website. Every other year or so I go to an art convention and sell some art. I craft people unique hand-made gifts.
I'm an artsy person who has a passion for health and wellbeing. (I almost died of a stomach ulcer at the age of sixteen. It kinda hooked my interest.)
My husband and I love fantasy novels, video games, and you guessed it -- fantasy maps.
I just finished "wallpapering" his entire workspace with fantasy maps from all his favorite settings: middle earth, midkemia, skyrim, the witcher, etc, etc, etc. And I also printed off a lot of maps from this forum and deviantart. Just in black and white, and then carefully used a mixture of glue and water to paper the walls in a practically seamless artistic fashion. The effect is dazzling. I should post some photos some time.
Anyhow, all that map hunting triggered a deep desire to make maps. I'm already a digital painter, so making brushed and such has just come somewhat naturally.
I've already downloaded every brush set I could get my hands on that looked hand-drawn. (Not to fond of the representative graphics that are box-like and such.)
I especially loved some particular brush sets I found on this forum and decided to join the forum. And here I am.
My website is thus: www.raederle.com
I'll post my map when I'm done to this forum. The map I'm making has no particular purpose except to be beautiful and fun. I might write a novel based on it though. I keep thinking "This could be the valley where the main character grows up..." and "This here could be a village where they travel through to get to..." and "This narrow pass through the mountains might be thought to get the only way across..." and, and, and, and!
If anyone has found any really artisty brush sets, or if you have a map you'd like to give me permission to make brushes from (that looks hand-drawn and artsy) then please post them here. You'd make my day.

Hi Raederle!
I would love to see some photos of your map wallpaper!!! Welcome to the guild and glad you're getting a kick out of it already!
Welcome to the Guild Raederli1, sounds like you've caught the bug as well. I first came here a couple of years back because I needed a map for a RPG campaign world I was building. It wasn't long after that however that I came to love map-making for its own sake. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Welcome aboard!

First of all, let me acknowledge that I am stupid for letting my problem get this far, but having said that, perhaps someone will have pity and help me out.
I have been running and loving ZCS FOSS for a couple years now as a home email server (just my wife and I) and I am now faced with the inevitable.
My Ubuntu 6.06 LTS box died (Bad mainboard I think) and it appears that the data drive containing the Zimbra directory has a bad SUPERBLOCk or some other mysterious Linux File System issue, which means I can't mount it and copy the ZCS folder off to allow restore of ZCS on a new box. I've tried FSCK on Hardy Heron, with the data drive connected via USB adaptor, but that doesn't seem to work.
I have all my data stored on a Windows laptop, but it is locally cached Zimbra Desktop 2.0 Beta, and of course the data Export features are NOT working in this version, at least not for me.
There are a handful of important email folders and some documents that I would like to rescue but seems like I am stuck since I have no backup of ZCS directory and the original hard drive wont mount for me on another box now.
Is there any hope of getting my data out of Zimbra desktop and back into a new ZCS server installation?
My Particulars.
Running ZCS FOSS 6.0.1 on Ubunto 6.06 LTS
Data is locally cached on ZD 2.0 beta, but data export not working.
Have created a new ZCS 6.01 installation on new 6.06 LTS server, but ZD 2 Beta wont sync with it becuase of account ID mismatches.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does the tab key tab in the webmail? I upgraded to the latest open source edition, and it doesn't seem to work.
The funny thing about software, is that when people have other options, something small and little can be a deal breaker. For most people that I know, the absence of a working tab key when composing an email will completely prevent them from using Zimbra. I use a bunch of mail systems myself (and used to be an IT manager for 180 Outlook users) along with my use of Zimbra, and the broken default tab behavior is embarrassing in my opinion.
If it's still an open bug since 2006 or 2007 or whenever, that's just pathetic.
Can someone please tell me how to make a tab tab in Zimbra? Thanks!

I suffer the age-old and common problem of no joy on port 7071 https after installation. Yes, I have read other threads about this. No, it's none of the common suspects mentioned there.
I cannot find that the Apache servers which shipped with Zimbra are configured anywhere to listen on 7071 https. We simply see the request being refused. They are running and they do answer other ports, but not this one.
Is it necessary to first configure Apache in order for 7071 to work? This does NOT seem rational and does not match the quick_start.pdf. The admin guide is utterly useless, offering ZERO in the way of troubleshooting.
Oh, and yes -- we've checked firewalls. It's not that. Really isn't (we even turned 'em off to be absolutely sure in a special test).
Please and thank you.

Tribune Co. has proposed paying managers and top executives as much as $42.9 million in additional bonuses, on top of $16.2 million in such payments it requested earlier this week.
Tribune on Wednesday, May 26, asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey in Wilmington, Delaware, to approve the additional bonuses for 640 managers at the company's newspapers, including the Chicago Tribune, and broadcast outlets, Bloomberg News reported.
The company earlier this week asked for $16.2 million in incentive payments for 2009 performance under two compensation plans as part of a revised bankruptcy reorganization plan filed with the court.
Some of Tribune's executives, including CEO Randy Michaels, are eligible for payments under all three of the compensation programs, Bloomberg reported, citing the filings.
Tribune didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Chicago-based company expects to begin confirmation hearings on the bankruptcy reorganization plan in mid-August and emerge from Chapter 11 later this year. The plan is still subject to a creditor vote and court approval.
The requests follow a payout of $42 million in February to top managers under bonus programs for work performed last year.

Ilkka Vääti: Mundus
January 20 to February 19, 2011
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 20, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Artist Lecture beginning at 7:15 p.m.
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Gallery will display a series of carborundum-silkscreen prints by Finnish artist Ilkka Väätti January 20 to February 19, 2011. The gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock.
An opening reception for the exhibit, which is titled "Mundus," will take place at the gallery Thursday, January 20, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Väätti will speak at 7:15 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Väätti has been described as a pictorial kleptomaniac, and the artist himself would be the first to admit his guilt.
Choosing details from the pictorial languages of the past and from varying cultures, Väätti's modernist compositions incorporate fragments from, for example, medieval paintings, Asian mandalas, or a mosaic floor in Istanbul.
After choosing a pictorial detail, Väätti borrows its theme and reinterprets its form. These fragments from history, ornamental and seemingly irrelevant, take on a new dimension when isolated from their original context.
"Although my pictures seem very abstract," notes Väätti "each of them has its origin in some art historical image. My works can thus be regarded simultaneously as abstract and figurative."
"Väätti's work respects the modernist tradition, but still dares to speak on behalf of the decorative and ornamental," notes Otso Kantokorpi in a catalog essay for Väätti's Mundus series.
Väätti refers to his work as "world pictures." Kantokorpi explains this term, "Väätti's works are involved in a constant dialogue between particular and universal, between emotional and intellectual, between art and religion, between different cultures....together they all make up a world picture, a particular and a universal one."
Väätti began working with historical art references in 1992 when he was commissioned to create artwork for the Messukylä School in Tampere, Finland. Rather than create a pure abstraction for the school environment, Väätti decided to find a visual framework from the school's immediate surroundings.
He chose the ancient symbols found in a medieval stone church in Messukylä, and this method of working with reference material became the starting point for his Mundus series.
Väätti has been working on the Mundus series since 1993.
"I want to make personal interpretations of the images that already exist in the world," Väätti says. "My pictorial themes come from the collective memory of mankind. I consider myself a cultural nomad and a follower of an old geometric tradition. From the standpoint of an artist I am making a survey of the pictorial archetypes, as well as the legacy of the collective memory of the mankind."
Ilkka Väätti has a bachelor of arts from the Lahti Institute of Fine Arts and a master of fine art from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, Finland.
His work has been featured in numerous solo exhibits in Finland and in group shows in Finland, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, and Russia. His work is included in the collections of the State of Finland, Tampere Museum of Contemporary Art, Kuopio Art Museum, and other regional and municipal art museums in Finland.
Väätti will work with Finlandia University International School of Art & Design BFA students January 17 to 24, 2011.
"Mundus" is on display at the Finlandia University Gallery through February 19, 2011.
The Finlandia University Gallery is in the Finnish American Heritage Center, 435 Quincy Street, Hancock. Gallery hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 12:00 to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment.
Please call 906-487-7500 for more information.

Users often rely upon Zimbra's import/export feature to backup their contacts.
This is particularly important when one has 1000s or more - no-one wishes to lose 1000s of contacts photos and tags, clearly.
Currently lots of data is lost - contact photos and tags are not exported or imported when exporting/importing (using the 'Account' filter).
Vote here to get these bugs moving:
Allow photo import/export:
Allow tags import/export:
Adding support for tags would be trivial (support is already built-in to the system and the Yahoo filter already supports tags/categories - all Zimbra developers need to do is add the term to the import/export filter files).
Any ideas on the best way to import/export contact photos?

(WUSA) -- We continue to get reaction to the arrest of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin. Robin from Warrenton says it's about time:
"If people remember...the 911 operator told Mr. Zimmerman that he doesn't need to follow Mr. Martin, but Mr. Zimmerman still did. Why was Mr. Zimmerman still following Mr. Martin after he was told not to?"
And Susan from Alexandria wonders why it has to be all about the race issue:
"...No matter who was what color, if someone comes up behind you int he dark with a gun in hand, you are going to feel threatened and you are going to fight for your life. I think the nationwide outrage is over the proposition that the one with the gun could claim self-defense...There's a lot more to know about this, and I hope it won't be turned into a black-white issue."
Well, Susan, it appears that Trayvon Martin's race may have been a big part of why he looked "suspicious" to Zimmerman in the first place, and some believe it's why Zimmerman wasn't arrested at first either. Regardless of what might be more comfortable for all of us. It's hard to argue race isn't a part of this.
Finally, this from Jeff in Falls Church who says he used to be on a neighborhood watch:
"...Gung-ho like Zimmerman, I wanted to work only the night watchman's shift since that was when most crimes are committed. But the motto was "observe but don't intervene" as we were not police officers. ...It was always a bit unsettling and disconcerting during that time that we were armed only with a cellphone, harsh language, and a clipboard."
I can understand why you may have wanted a gun, Jeff, but I think you understand why confronting potential criminals armed like a cop but without police training is a recipe for...well, exactly what's going on right now.

City Guide : GenevaThe Swiss Confederation is a landlocked Alpine country in the west of Europe. Switzerland being a federation since 1848 is divided into 26 cantons. A canton is a territorial subdivision of a country. The cantons of Switzerland are the states of the Federal State of Switzerland. Each canton is represented at the state parliament. Geneva is the capital of the Canton of Geneva. Located between the Alps and the Jura mountains, Geneva is placed at the most southwest of the country and at the Geneva Lake. The Rhone and the Arve cross the land of the city. It is the 2nd most populous city of Switzerland. The headquarters of the most of the agencies of United Nations (UN) are existed in Geneva. The presence of such international organizations is the major factor for the city to be admired as a global city. The city is the watch capital of the world.
Tourist Attractions
Alp Mountains, Lake Geneva, many excellent parks, cruises on Lake Geneva, the international facet, the availability of many museums and the cultural events give the city a natural and intellectual atmosphere.
Geneva's lakefront is one of the most fantastic sights of the city. The Jet d'eau fountain at the Eaux Vives part of the Geneva Lake is the world's tallest fountain spouting a 450 feet (140 meters) high water column on the lake. The flowerbeds and the magnificent planted areas nearby the lake constitute an unprecedented flora. Brunscwick at the right bank of the river includes the tomb of Charles II who was the Duck of Brunscwick. In addition to its green and recreative ground, Jardin Anglais (English Garden) at the end of the Mont Blanc bridge, on the left bank of the river, contains the worldwide famous flower clock and the National Monument. This monument on the ground of the garden presents the unification of Geneva and the whole country in 1815.
Flower Clock is one of the symbols of Geneva since 1955. Decorated with more than 6.500 flowers, the colors of the clock vary seasonally. This is a technological and floral miracle.

From the tower of the cathedral with a height of 157 steps, you will experience fantastic views of the city and the lake.
Reformation Wall at Parc des Bastions was started to be constructed in 1909, the year marking the 400th anniversary of the birth of Calvin. The center of the wall hosts the figures of four great statues of the Reformation movement. These are Guillaume Farel (one of the first pioneers of the movement, 1489-1565), John Calvin (the headman of the reformers, 1509-1564), Theodore de Beze (the first rector of the academy, 1513-1605) and John Knox (the establisher of Presbyterianism in Scotland, 1513-1572).

Nearly all kinds of sports activities are carried out at the city. Alps, the available rivers, Saleve Mountain all are important sports locations. Billiards, cycling, horse riding, bowling, rafting, skiing, tennis, skateboard and many kinds are practiced here. Also, Geneva Beach and the other beaches at the lakeside are important locations for recreation.
Cruises on Geneva Lake and Rhone Lake are the best ways to explore the city. By renting a boat or pedal boat and via electric boats, you will see the magnificent views of the city.

Come to MTC on December 9th to help Save Safe Routes to Transit
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) adopted by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) in April 2009 promised $50 Million each in funding over the next 5 years for Safe Routes to Transit (SR2T) and Safe Routes to School (SRTS) as part of their Climate Action Plan. However, in MTC's recent proposal for programming federal funding, they have limited their funding for SR2T to evaluation of the program with no money to continue to build improvements to ensure safe and easy access to regional transit.
It is unacceptable to completely eliminate funding for such an important program as Safe Routes to Transit that was promised to the public in the RTP. We need your help to ensure that MTC invests in making transit safer and easier for bikes and pedestrians to access. Heres what you can do:
Speak Up In Favor of Safe Routes to Transit at MTC December 9th
Join us in voicing your support for safer and easier access to transit at the December 9th Programming and Allocations Meeting at MTC. For more information contact Andrew Casteel at 415.814.9247 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If You Can't Come to the Meeting, Share Your Ideas for Making Your Transit Commute Safer
Next time you are walking or biking to transit and you see something that could be made safer or easier to navigate, let us know where it is and how Safe Routes to Transit funds could help fix it, take a picture if you can and then share it with us in one of the following ways. We'll be presenting all the responses we get to MTC's December 9th meeting to help make the case for funding Safe Routes to Transit.
- Email it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Twitter users can share their ideas by adding #SaveSR2T
- Facebook users can visit the BABC page and share your stories on our wall
Thank you to everyone who signed our Safe Routes to Transit Petition
We've shown MTC that there is great demand for these funds. Click Here to View

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sports Network) - Robert Garrigus birdied seven of
nine holes en route to a 7-under 64 on Friday and that spurt gave him a 2-
stroke lead after two rounds of the CIMB Classic.
Garrigus, a 3-time runner-up on the PGA Tour in 2012, finished 36 holes at 14-
under-par 128. With lift, clean and place conditions in play, that cost
Garrigus that 36-hole scoring record.
Jbe' Kruger, who played alongside Tiger Woods on Friday, also fired a 64 to
move into second place at minus-12.
First-round leader Troy Matteson managed a 2-under 69 and dipped into a share
of third at 10-under 132. He was joined there by Greg Chalmers (66).
Woods carded a 4-under 67 to end 36 holes at 9-under 133. He stands alongside
Kevin Na (66) and Brendon de Jonge (65) in fifth place.
Last year's winner Bo Van Pelt carded a 65 to jump into a tie for 11th at
minus-7 at The Mines Resort and Golf Club.

'Development in reverse'
Interview | Global capitalism is working well for most developing societies, but a billion people live in countries that are going backward. Economist Paul Collier says these countries can be helped, but both givers and recipients need to change
"'Development in reverse'" Continued...
A university course on helping the poorest of the poor abroad could now have a book reading list much more interesting than one possible five years ago. Then, my list could have included any number of boring books on foreign aid as savior of the world, some scholarly essays by Britain's P.T. Bauer, and two scintillating books by Hernando de Soto (The Other Path and The Mystery of Capital), an economist worthy of bearing a famous explorer's name.
Now, my list could include Timothy Monsma's biblically thoughtful Hope for the Southern World, Jeffrey Sachs' liberally unctuous The End of Poverty, and William Easterly's curmudgeonly conservative The Elusive Quest for Growth and The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good.
And let's add one more: Paul Collier's The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries Are Failing and What Can Be Done About It (Oxford University Press, 2007). Collier is particularly interesting to read because he combines an establishment resumé with some nonestablishment views. A professor of economics at Oxford and the director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies, he has addressed the General Assembly of the UN, been a senior advisor to Tony Blair's Commission on Africa, completed a review of International Monetary Fund operations commissioned by the board of the IMF, and directed the Development Research Group at the World Bank.
Collier is a good economist because he pays attention to matters beyond economics, such as the causes and consequences of civil war, and the problems of democracy in low-income and natural-resource-rich societies. He begins The Bottom Billion by explaining that our common bifurcation of the world's countries as "developed" (1 billion people) and "developing" (5 billion) hides the real problem: 4 of those 5 billion "live in countries that are indeed developing, often at amazing speed," but the bottom billion live in countries that are going backward.
Collier expresses his concern vividly: "The average person in the societies of the bottom billion now has an income only around one-fifth that of the typical person in the other developing countries. . . . Picture this as a billion people stuck in a train that is slowly rolling backward downhill. By 2050 the development gulf will no longer be between a rich billion in the most developed countries and 5 billion in the developing countries; rather, it will be between the trapped billion and the rest." Collier then stresses that "giving those [bottom] countries our money" won't help them unless deep changes occur.
WORLD: Why do we commonly talk about the development problem as encompassing all 5 billion people, instead of concentrating on the great needs at the bottom?
COLLIER: It's a mixture of inertia and self-interest. Inertia because even 10 years ago a 5 billion view of the developing world was still reasonable and perceptions are slow to catch up with reality. Self-interest because the two main groups that draw attention to development issues each like it that way. The aid agencies like to operate globally rather than to have to concentrate on the toughest countries. For example, until very recently the World Bank had 134 of its staff resident in Indonesia but not a single one resident in the Central African Republic. For quite different reasons the left-leaning NGOs [non-governmental organizations] end up with the same bias. They like to critique "global capitalism" and so the news that it is working rather well in most developing societies is unpalatable.
WORLD: It also seems unpalatable to discuss the role civil war plays in the societies of the bottom billion, but you do that, and you also go beyond blaming income inequality and ethnic diversity.
COLLIER: Civil war is disturbingly common in the poverty-stricken, small societies of the bottom billion. It is development in reverse: Without peace these societies cannot even get started on the difficult road of economic development. Income inequality and ethnic tensions are routinely trotted out as the explanations, but I find that they are overemphasized. The major risk factors seem to be poverty itself, stagnation, dependence upon natural resource exports such as oil in the Nigerian Delta, and simply being too small, as Timor Leste. Small is not beautiful, it is dangerous. Ethnic differences compound these other problems but are seldom themselves the key difficulty: Most diverse societies are safe, some ethnically unified societies such as Somalia are a mess, and ethnicity tends to be used by politicians in situations which are already dangerous for other reasons.
WORLD: You note that "the leaders of many of the poorest countries in the world are themselves among the global super-rich." Why is bad governance so persistent in the countries of the bottom billion?
COLLIER: Because ordinary people are disempowered, both literally if either they do not have votes or elections are corrupt, or because they lack the education and information with which to hold governments to account. Elections are not the same thing as democracy. Democracy depends upon checks and balances that constrain how governments use power. These checks and balances are missing in the "instant democracies" that are now common in the bottom billion. Governments simply hold crooked elections and carry on with business as usual. But oppositions are often as bad as governments. Just because a government is bad, people tend to assume that rebels and political opponents are heroes. Sometimes they are, but commonly they are forged in the same corrupt process as the guys in power.
WORLD: You point out that during the 1980s very poor "countries that stopped shooting themselves in the foot were able to break into new export markets," but it was hard then and is much harder now. Why?
COLLIER: It was hard then because the U.S. and Europe had huge clusters of manufacturing firms-industrial conurbations-that brought costs down dramatically and so enabled them to compete despite high wages. The wage gap with Asia had to widen enormously before new entrants were competitive. Now the bottom billion have missed the boat because Asia has got established. It still has fairly low wages, but it has all the benefits of large clusters of manufactured exports. The result: Africa can't compete against Asia in manufactures. It needs help and it isn't getting it.
WORLD: So the situation is more complicated than it appears from the claims of rock bands and officials that increased aid is the ticket out. You note that "aid alone is really unlikely to be able to address the problems of the bottom billion, and it has become so highly politicized that its design is often pretty dysfunctional." You discuss Chad as an example of aid that was harmful. What's happened there and in some other countries that received aid, and why do armies and coup leaders tend to be the big beneficiaries?
COLLIER: I don't want to knock aid. It's part of the solution, not usually part of the problem. But I don't think that aid alone can fix the problem. It needs to be complemented by all the policies we have neglected. In Chad money clearly leaks into military spending, and the attempt to ring-fence it through the Chad-Cameroon pipeline deal in which civil society in Chad was given some limited rights of scrutiny promptly induced the government to change the rules enabling it to divert the money into the military. It is not necessarily even the fault of the president. For example, the Chad army has 60 generals for a tiny country: 60 because it's a way of co-opting the powerful people who make trouble. Once these people smell oil money, they are going to threaten to destabilize the country until they get their hands on it and they have the power to do so because coups and rebellions are easy in these situations. So, governments buy off the military to preserve themselves.
WORLD: Some celebrated the G8 summit at Gleneagles in July 2005 and its announcement of a doubling of aid, focused on infrastructure. You say such aid is likely to "amplify what is already a serious problem of misgovernance." Why?
COLLIER: The bottom billion need infrastructure, but unfortunately infrastructure projects are the most corrupt sector in the entire economy. Read, for example, the 2004 Annual Report of Transparency International which focused on the sector. Essentially, each project is unique and so very hard to monitor, and competitive bidding is easily gamed by changes in specifications after contracts have been awarded. A corrupt official agrees with a construction company in advance that the company will win the bidding with a low price but then the details of the contract will be renegotiated to give both the company and the official more money.
WORLD: You write that the large and trusted British charity Christian Aid opposed free trade and was "peddling the crudest images of Marxism," in alliance with governments of the bottom billions that "typically adopt high trade barriers . . . because they are one of the key sources of corruption." Are other Christian organizations bamboozled, and what kinds of deeper changes should they be looking for?
COLLIER: The major Christian organizations are not bamboozled. World Vision, which is by far the largest, strongly endorses The Bottom Billion (see the back cover) and invited me to address their annual board meeting. . . . Christian Aid has a severe accountability deficit-its advocacy is out of control. I suppose all those bishops are too busy to get their minds around the issues.
WORLD: You conclude that "aid cannot just be targeted for the photogenic social priorities; it has to be used to help countries break into export markets." What should Americans and Europeans do to provide aid rightly?
COLLIER: Each country needs a focused development strategy and aid needs to fit into this strategy. This will differ between countries. For example, I am just back from Ghana where they have a real chance of getting garments exports established big-time, using the market access to the U.S. afforded by the African Growth Opportunity Act. For this opportunity to be taken, Ghana will need much better export infrastructure for garments-e.g., a well-functioning port and a cluster nearby where power is reliable and transport links are good. This would be a good use for aid.

Birth Place: Lincolnshire, England, GB
Jim Broadbent was born on May 29, 1949 to parents Roy and Dee Broadbent. Conscientious objectors during WWII, the Broadbents helped establish a pacifist community in rural Lincolnshire, where Roy was a noted interior and furniture designer and Dee was a sculptor. They were also founders of a local theater that boldly staged modern works by Ibsen and Shaw. It was there that Jim made his first debut at the age of four in a production of "A Doll's House." Broadbent grew up in the artistically attuned oasis with every intention of following in his parents' footsteps, first spending a year studying visual arts at Hammersmith before transferring to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

On April 21, 2013, the vice-president and co-founder of the American Research Center in Sofia (ARCS), Dr. Nora Dimitrova Clinton, and the administrator of the Archaeological and Anthropological Grant Opportunities in Bulgaria program at The Field Museum, Dr. Dilyana Ivanova, participated in the "Bulgarian Days in Chicago" spring festival. They had the opportunity to meet many active members in the Bulgarian community, as well as the General Consul of the Republic of Bulgaria, Mr. Simeon Stoilov. During the festival, they announced an upcoming ARCS lecture on recent Bulgarian history, entitled "The Past and the Un-Past," which will be held at The Field Museum on April 29, 2013. All the festival participants were invited to attend. Dimitrova Clinton also discussed the role of ARCS in the development of humanitarian studies in Bulgaria and scholarship programs for students and young scholars to study Bulgarian archaeology, anthropology, culture heritage, and history. Dimitrova Clinton highlighted the mission goals of the center, which include supporting Bulgarian museums, research institutes, and universities, encouraging them to improve their facilities and working conditions, and strengthening collaboration between researchers in Bulgaria, the U.S. and in Western European countries.
Dr. Dimitrova Clinton's talk was followed by a presentation by Dr. Dilyana Ivanova of The Field Museum. Ivanova discussed the most recent results of the Archaeological and Anthropological Grant Opportunities in Bulgaria program, a grant administrative program developed jointly with ARCS and funded by the America for Bulgaria Foundation. Through this program, over $880,000 has been awarded to 21 projects in Bulgaria that focus on archaeological research, site restoration and preservation, and museum enhancement, and an additional $208,000 has funded four postdoctoral fellows at The Field Museum. Dr. Shannon Martino, one of the postdoctoral fellows whose research field is in Bulgaria and Turkey, was also present at the event and greeted the audience in Bulgarian.

1319 Rockville Pike, Ste. C, Rockville; (301) 251-7878
VALUABLE FOR: Delicious Chinese small plates with no attitude (and it's cheap)
This cash-only strip-mall gem is a pleasant reminder to look past Rockville's boring chain restaurants. An ideal Sunday-morning destination for a full-on Northern Chinese-style brunch, A&J is best arrived at with an empty stomach and no prissy attitudes about ordering only for yourself, since everything comes family-style. Kick off with a bowl of piping hot dan dan mien—thick noodles dressed with a spicy sesame sauce. The steamed pork buns are fluffy clouds with a satisfying umami bomb of swine at the center. For more of the other white meat, order the tubular pot stickers. Griddled golden on each side, they crackle when you bite into them to reveal a core of juicy ground pork. Dip them in soy sauce if you prefer, but like most dishes here, they pack enough flavor to stand alone.
Read my three other picks – Sundevich, Negril, and Middle Eastern Cuisine – and the rest of the rundown over on the Washington City Paper site now.

I've been getting some reports of people running WinMo 6.1 having problems opening attachments on their phones. I use an efax service so my users get lots of PDF attachments via email. They've never had problems opening them on WinMo 6.0 & 6.1 (std or professional). After my 6.0 upgrade I've been hearing the attachments open blank. I took at look at one phone and the attachment was listed in the email, and when you clicked on it the attachment would open in the viewer, but it seemed like it didn't actually download the attachment because the viewer was just blank. I tried this on several emails with the same results. These were valid attachments because they could be opened via the web client with no issues.
I'm posting to see if this is an isolated incident or if others have seen anything similar following their 6.0 upgrade

Mechanical exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells through gentle friction. When performed with the right, high quality products, mechanical exfoliation speeds up the skin cell turnover process, revealing healthier, younger-looking skin. Regular mechanical exfoliation also helps reduce acne, enlarged pores, skin discoloration and fine lines and wrinkles, making it an important part of any skin care regimen. The Goldfaden Exfoliators collection represents one of the finest selections of mechanical exfoliating products available on the market today, offering incredible results for all skin types and tones.
The Goldfaden Exfoliators range was developed by dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden to support the skin cell turnover process through blends of natural and organic ingredients and without potentially irritating additives like artificial colorants and paraben preservatives. All of the items in the Goldfaden Exfoliators collection contain ruby crystals, which are used in the microdermabrasion treatments at some of the best spas in the world. Each of the selections in the Goldfaden Exfoliators lineup also provides your complexion with age-fighting antioxidants, giving you the extra benefit of protection against free radicals in the environment.
Your skin is constantly renewing itself through cellular turnover, but often, the natural process is not fast enough to produce noticeable results for common skin care problems on its own. The Goldfaden Exfoliators collection was designed to help hasten the natural shedding of dead, dry skin cells through gentle mechanical exfoliation from real ruby crystals. As a result of their natural formulations, the exfoliators developed by dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldfaden safely remove dead skin to rejuvenate the complexion and treat conditions like acne, premature aging and enlarged pores. Start on the path to a younger-looking more even and radiant complexion by trying the exfoliators collection today.
Real ruby crystals are mixed through the luxurious Goldfaden Daily Scrub, treating your skin to gentle mechanical exfoliation with every use. Safe for use every day after cleansing, the scrub is fortified with hyaluronic acid to boost the moisture levels in your skin. Red tea extract in the formula shields the complexion from free radical damage, making the scrub an important weapon in the fight against fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Its incredible blend of real ruby crystals and organic and natural supportive ingredients allows the Goldfaden Power Scrub to give you the sort of results that you would expect from a microdermabrasion treatment from a dermatologist. Packed with nourishing seaweed extract and protective antioxidant-rich red tea extract, the scrub gives your complexion everything it needs to look truly radiant as you remove dead skin cells from its surface.

It is said that you should never bite the hand that feeds you, and if you need a helping hand, you'll find two at the ends of your arms; one is for you, the second is to help others. But hands are more than just functional. Beautiful hands require care and maintenance. We all use our hands more than we probably realize: for work, play, expressing ourselves and hugging those we love. They're on display every day, whether we like it or not, and they deserve our attention. We can protect them from the elements by applying sunscreen and wearing gloves in cold weather and when handling cleaning products or other chemical substances.
Don't forget, however, that our hands need to be kept hydrated, and nothing hydrates like a well-made hand cream. A wide selection of hand creams are available that are designed to protect, nourish, rejuvenate, hydrate and repair dry, cracked skin. Hand creams can also soothe rough cuticles, reduce pigmentation marks and age spots, regulate perspiration, eliminate bacteria and slow the process of wrinkling and aging. Give yourself a helping hand by keeping them soft, smooth and younger-looking.

Bartow, Art Director and Principal at id29 said We developed a design aesthetic and five wordsThere Will Soon Be Seventhat really resonated with Scholastic. Our creative became the basis for much of the U.S. campaign and we spent the better part of five months executing the tactical components of the effort."

"Our objective is to carefully build id29 into one of the best, small creative agencies in the world. I'm really proud of what we've accomplished and we're well on our way to meeting that objective."

May 24, 2016
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida House has approved legislation that would expand a current ban on protesting to all types of funerals.
The "Funeral Buffer" bill (HB 15) was passed Wednesday by a vote of 116-0. It next goes to the Senate.
The legislation mostly is a response to military funeral protests by a Kansas-based church.
The Westboro Baptist Church congregation claims God is punishing the United States for tolerating homosexuality. Protesters often carry signs saying "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."
The House bill prohibits protesting or picketing within 500 feet of any funeral or burial. The proposed law would apply from one hour before to one hour after the ceremony. A violation is a first-degree misdemeanor.
