May 1907 photograph of Horace S. Stewart of Corinth, Maine; year before he drowned at 20
May 1907 photograph of a young man identified on reverse as Horace Stewart, who was apparently a student at East Corinth Academy, judging from some initials in the upper right corner. The photograph was taken by the Ramsdell Studio in Bangor, Maine.
Also indicated on the reverse is that Horace drowned in 1908.
From online research, hopefully correct:
Horace S. Stewart was born 28 March 1890 in Maine, the son of Willis J. Stewart and his wife Hattie E. (Jillson) Stewart. Horace's paternal grandparents were James William Stewart or Steward and wife Hannah Frances (Hamilton) Stewart. His maternal grandparents were Charles A. and Sarah Catherine (Kelty) Jillson of Lynn, Massachusetts.
Horace drowned on 25 April 1908 at Milo, Maine, in Piscataquis County. His death record with the State of Maine gave his occupation as car repairman, I assume at the railroad yards in the area of Milo and Brownville. How he drowned, I don't know, but I do know that crossing rivers in those days was at times a scary prospect, even on bridges. It's also possible that he was fishing and got carried away.
If you have any corrections, additions or insights regarding any of the information presented here, please leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks!

Horace Stewart was my 2nd cousin 3 times removed. His sister Alice's descendants(Alice married Carroll Duran) are still in Corinth. If anyone has more information about this Stewart family, I would be delighted to hear from you: email@example.com
Thanks for your comment and the additional information about Horace's sister. It would be neat if you connect with some as yet unknown relatives as a result of this post!ReplyDelete

Anyone with a fruit or vegetable garden is probably well aware that sometimes during the growing period crops can take on a mind of their own. 3-in-1 strawberries, funny looking carrots or misshaped zucchini are all normal occurrences. These shapes can happen unintentionally, but what if you had the ability to grow your best bounty in fun and interesting shapes on purpose.
Developed in China, specially designed plastic moulds are used to transform fruits and vegetables into a variety of shapes. From heart-shaped watermelons and star-shaped English cucumbers to even these Buddha-shaped pears.

|Winning streak comes to end after loss to Limon
|Written by Chris Lee
Riding a four-game winning streak, Holyoke played host to the undefeated Limon Badgers Friday night, Oct. 12 at Max Bernard Field hoping to improve to 5-2 on the season.
A win in the non-league match wouldn't help the Dragons' 4-0 conference record but it sure would've shown people where Holyoke stood.
Unfortunately, Limon came ready to play and pounded the Dragons 41-0 on a chilly October Friday under the lights.
Holyoke had no answer for the rushing attack from the Badgers and in turn, had trouble getting anything going on the ground themselves, finishing with only 111 rushing yards.
Coach John Zilla knows Limon is a good football team but said the Dragons didn't play up to their potential at all last Friday. "It's frustrating," he added. "I don't know what the deal was."
Holyoke's offensive line had trouble opening holes for the Dragon running game Friday night, Oct. 12 as the home team fell 0-41 to the Limon Badgers.

Zilla said the team hit the field in the first quarter and looked nervous. "We didn't even look like ourselves." The coach said Holyoke only played about two out of the four quarters. "You can't do that against a great team." He said in the second quarter, the Dragons seemed to settle down.
Limon scored touchdowns on its first two possessions. A bad snap on the first PAT turned into a two-point conversion after Limon scampered into the end zone. The PAT on the second touchdown was no good.
Holyoke went three and out on its first two possessions. The Dragon defense bit down and held the Badgers to a three and out on their third possession.
Holyoke's next drive also was a three and out. Limon's Gavin Liggett fielded Wyatt Powell's punt and rushed his way down the field for the third touchdown of the game. Holyoke was flagged for hurdling on the PAT attempt, which prompted the Badgers to try for two. They were successful on the two-pointer to take a 22-0 lead with just over a minute left in the opening quarter.
The Dragons again couldn't get anything going and were forced to punt. Limon moved the ball down to Holyoke's 23 yard line before stalling out. A bad snap on the field goal attempt led to an incomplete pass and a turnover on downs.
The Dragons picked up their first first down of the game midway through the second quarter on a pass to Brett Cumming from T.J. Gertner. On the next play, Bradley Cumming had a nice run, but the home team was flagged for an illegal block in the back, backing them up inside their 20. The drive stalled out, forcing a Powell punt.
Limon began at the Dragons' 39 yard line and moved down to Holyoke's 13 before Liggett threw a touchdown pass with just over 2:12 left in the half. A PAT attempt was no good.
Holyoke's next drive looked to be going nowhere and on fourth down, they were forced to punt. Powell fired off a nice punt but the field was littered with yellow flags. Limon was flagged for running into the kicker as well as unsportsman-like conduct, injecting life into the Dragon sideline. Time would run out on the half, however, before Holyoke could get any sort of momentum going.
The home team won the toss and deferred which gave them the ball to begin the second half. The drive showed a bit of promise, but a penalty and a few plays for losses forced an eventual punt.
Neither team could build up any steam in the third quarter and they entered the fourth with the same 0-28 score.
Limon scored a touchdown with 11:44 left in the game. The PAT was no good as the scoreboard read 0-34. Just over two minutes later, Liggett busted off a 72-yard touchdown run, giving the Badgers a 40-0 lead and a running clock. The PAT was good, adding one more point to the total.
The remainder of the quarter moved quickly and ended with the shutout.
Holyoke will host Wiggins Friday, Oct. 19 for the final home game of the season. The Tigers enter with a 6-1 overall record and are 3-1 in conference play after a close 7-14 loss to Wray two weeks ago.
The Dragons' defense will have to slow Thayer Sauter, the Tiger quarterback who loves to run the ball—much like Limon's Liggett and Perkins County quarterback Elliot Carlson, who the Dragons faced earlier this season. Holyoke will wrap up the regular season next Friday in Wray.
Coach Zilla said the next two games are very important. Holyoke still has a chance to win the league and earn a nice seed in the playoffs.
"I want the seniors to finish off on a good year," Zilla said. "Six and three is a whole lot better than four and five."
Zilla said he told the kids they took three steps back and now is the time to move forward, keep fighting and get better.
Stats recorded
The Dragons, who have three running backs capable of eclipsing the 100-yard mark, finished with just 111 on the ground and 17 through the air.
Brett Cumming led the rushing efforts with 46 yards on 12 carries. Bradley Cumming, Dylan Kotch and Gertner also carried the ball during the game.
Gertner connected on four out of 10 throws for 17 yards.
The Badgers gashed the Holyoke defense for 384 yards of total offense. They had 305 on the ground and 79 through the air.
Jesus Hermosillo led the team with 17 tackles. Logan Tharp also finished in double digits with 12.
Ben Martinez covered a fumble in the fourth quarter.
Powell punted the ball seven times with a long of 46 yards.
Other North Central action reported
Other North Central Conference teams played last week. Wiggins downed Yuma 34-7, Wray beat Highland 56-6 and Resurrection Christian beat Cornerstone Christian Academy 57-30.

Thanks to you, Mr. Mondello and Kate Murray, we could have had a project that was privately financed, with a brand new arena and KEPT the Islanders here and Murray under your tutiledge decided to knock it out!!
Thanks Al! Shame on you.

Dead on the money, gazaroog. Thanks to obvious political chicanery, we've lost our only major sports franchise. And we're supposed to stand up and cheer? Please, pass me the voting lever...
Sorry, D'Amato, but I don't see this as a win, win situation. There is a reason the Nassau Coliseum didn't make it. Because the price for tickets is too high for an average family to enjoy either a hockey game or a theatre event. Tag on parking, food and drink and you've gone into triple digits. In this economy, people don't have that type of discretional cash to throw around. I highly doubt that the developer did this out of sheer desire to regentrify a flailing, decrepit neighborhood and arena. If you believe they're getting nothing out of it (both developer and Mangano, you're living with rose colored glasses on. I've never heard of one politician who doesn't do something for their own enrichment, whether it be financial or electively speaking. Our team is gone, and you expect us to be thrilled that an over-priced arcade is coming to town. I don't think so. More traffic jams, no benefit. Sorry, if I seem shortsighted, but we've been burned by the powers that be more than once to know a albatross when we see one. Good luck to the developer. Maybe he knows something we don't.
And on another note, you mention Holder has reduced sentences for first time offenders or lesser sentences for possessin of marijuana - I have one question.....when is he [Holder] going to jail for his high crimes and misdemeanors?
Where was all of that bipartisan support for the last 10 years? Seems awfully convenient to ask for it now. And I'm sorry, but nothing is ever free, in the end, if this whole plan is successful, it Ratner& Co will end up making a ton more than the county and its tax payers. It'll be interesting to compare how taxes either increased or decreased over the next 10-15 years compared to what the taxes would have been with that "evil 400 million dollar" bond that would have gave true revenue sharing to the county, nevermind the Island's only pro sports team. Keep slapping mangano and murray on the back.
Congrats - Finally something got done. I some how doubt it wont cost us Nassau citizens any money, it always does. Like the infrastructure that needs to be modified? The traffic is bad now and unless better roads, exits and entrances are made it will be a disaster. How about improved mass transit? Opps. Hold onto your wallets for the bail out on the unexpected cost over runs they will ask for us to pay. Its the same song.

SYDNEY -- A small tsunami killed at least five people and damaged dozens of homes in the South Pacific. That's after a powerful 8.0 undersea earthquake struck in an area off the Solomon Islands. It occurred near Lata in Temotu province, the easternmost province of the Solomons, about a 3-hour flight from the capital, Honiara. The region has a population of around 30,000 people.
The tsunami measured about 3 feet and washed over the Santa Cruz Islands in a region of the Solomon Islands.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has now cancelled all tsunami warnings for several island nations.

TennisWeek.com is apparently no more.
The IMG-owned website is down today and word has it the company shut it down permanently though no official statement has been released.
Earlier this year the sports marketing giant closed the print version after 35 years and it seems the tough economic climate made the kill complete.
I have to say it's sad to see another staple in the tennis media go down, even though their material wasn't always original. But no hard feelings TW.com - you'll be missed.

In 2008 the Society for Human Resource Management was in the midst of a makeover. Its well-respected president and CEO was retiring after six years, and the organization was attempting to shed its administrative image and rebrand itself as a global HR thought leader. At that time, Workforce took an in-depth look at the initial stage of the transformation in an article titled "SHRM at a Crossroads."
During the past half-decade, SHRM emerged from the depths of the nation's worst recession since the Depression with a growing membership, flush coffers, an increased focus on pushing its political agenda and a heightened global presence.
And according to current SHRM President and CEO Hank Jackson, the organization has done so by remaining steadfast to its mission. "Our society has grown to become the largest human resources organization in the world because it has never lost its focus on the original principles: Serve the members. Give them what they need to assist employers and employees alike. Advance the profession by protecting and promoting its professionalism," he wrote in the April issue of HR Magazine, the association's publication. A spokeswoman said that Jackson was not available to comment for this article.
While most SHRM members are content with the direction that the association is heading, the chorus of critics who say that SHRM has lost its way seems to be getting louder.
In a recent Workforce survey on HR associations, a number of participants said that SHRM is focusing too much on profits and increasing membership and not enough on the needs of its existing members. Others still criticize past actions by SHRM's board of directors, such as its 2005 decision to pay board members and allow them to travel business class. Others say that SHRM has shifted its focus from helping employers and employees to representing the interests of employers only. And others took SHRM to task for not doing a better job in elevating the status of the profession.
Just over half of the respondents—51 percent—indicated that they are satisfied with the direction that SHRM is leading the HR profession, while 40 percent said they are unsure and 9 percent indicated dissatisfaction. Of SHRM members, two-thirds were satisfied.
Comments like these were typical: "They seem more focused on increasing membership than on improving the profession. The meetings of local chapters seem to be focused on the interests of entry-level HR people and networking rather than on real professional development through in-depth discussion of the issues" and "SHRM has become too big and too commercial."
Still others praised many of SHRM's efforts, including education, lobbying and some of the things critics have pointed out, like representing the needs of small employers and entry-level professionals. "Need to make sure that we remain focused on what's fair for the employer and employee, omitting any political-party agendas," one respondent writes. "So far, I believe SHRM has been able to do that. Also, the recognition and respect HR professionals now receive, I believe, has been partially achieved by SHRM's efforts."
The majority of respondents—67 percent—said they are satisfied with the organization overall, and many praised SHRM's efforts in education, lobbying and meeting the needs of small employers and entry-level professionals.
Criticism of an organization as large as SHRM—it has 265,000 members worldwide—is probably inevitable. But many SHRM critics are respected longtime members who have been deeply involved in its activities, like Barbara Hobbs, an HR director in Tallahassee, Florida. She has been an active SHRM member for 30 years and is a past president of SHRM's Jacksonville, Florida, chapter. She says that she is disappointed with some of the association's actions.
"They've forgotten about the small employer and are geared more toward the global economy," Hobbs says. "And I don't think they should be spending the kind of money that they do in travel for board members. Somehow SHRM has gone astray. As my grandmother used to say, 'They've become too big for their britches.' "
Some argue that the entire HR profession is at a crossroads as it struggles to establish itself as a strategic business partner and shed its image as a bureaucratic policy pusher. John Boudreau, research director at the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California, says that SHRM reflects that transformation.
"There's been lots of questioning of what the profession needs to be," he says. "Every professional HR association has done work on that. There has been an upwelling of this discussion in the past two to three years. Our evidence suggests that there's been progress, but whether or not it's been quick enough for the aspirations of the profession and to meet the needs of its constituents is an open question."
The role that HR plays has come under greater scrutiny in part because the recession and its impact on the workforce have led corporate leaders to "look at what this profession can deliver" in terms of strategic thinking and leadership, Boudreau says.
Steve Miranda, who was SHRM's chief human resources officer from 2005 to 2011, says that during his tenure the association began rebranding itself to reflect changes in the business landscape. Its programs were becoming more sophisticated and more global in perspective, he says.
"There were incredible pressures being placed on HR professionals at the time," says Miranda, who is now managing director at the Cornell University Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies. "Our courses and conference programming had to rise to the next level. We had to up our game. HR was split into two camps: the administrative and the business strategy. HR was undergoing a change, and SHRM's offerings had to reflect that."
According to Bob Carr, SHRM's senior vice president of membership, marketing and external affairs, SHRM has continued to evolve.
This year the association launched five strategic initiatives designed to increase membership, particularly among senior-level executives, and promote professionalism through professional standards and competencies, Carr says.
Last fall SHRM launched the CHRO Initiative, which aims to attract more senior-level members by establishing networking groups, or "hubs," in cities around the world. Chief human resource officer hubs are underway in 15 cities, including Atlanta and New York in the United States, and Manila in the Philippines, according to a SHRM overview of the project. SHRM also plans to beef up membership in California, which has a large number of SHRM chapters and affiliates and a unique set of employment laws, Carr says.
Other initiatives include promoting SHRM's nine HR competencies, or professional standards, which include relationship management, ethics and leadership, among others. Last year SHRM introduced performance management standards to give employers a uniform way to assess and evaluate employee job performance. The standard was approved last year by the American National Standards Institute, a nonprofit organization that oversees the development of professional standards for a variety of companies and institutions.
Attracting more senior-level professionals, however, has been an elusive goal for SHRM.
"The CHRO issue is a conversation that they've had since day one and will continue to have ongoing," says China Gorman, who was SHRM's chief operating officer from 2007 to 2010. "The strategies to engage more HR leaders in the organization will ebb and flow. Having CHRO support is important because many of their employees are members. Is SHRM ever going to be successful at programming for the Fortune 500 CHROs? I don't know. But as long as SHRM continues to provide the best services for those entry- and midlevel and senior professionals, it will have the support of CHROs."
John Haggerty, a senior lecturer at the Cornell's ILR School, says that SHRM serves "a very important purpose" in exposing entry- and midlevel professionals and those at small companies to industry leaders and knowledge.
"I've always thought of SHRM as fulfilling a need in the industry to provide those without solid academic credentials the opportunity to learn a trade," Haggerty says. "A lot of SHRM's membership is made up of all sorts of professionals who are not Fortune 50 HR people, and the whole thing about a seat at the table is being played out more often in large companies. That's where the more strategic HR work gets created. SHRM exposes people in smaller organizations to those best practices."
While there is little doubt that SHRM is a powerful force in the HR industry, its efforts to be a thought leader have not always been successful.
Last year its proposal to standardize a set of HR metrics, such as employee satisfaction and money spent on training, was torpedoed by an association of CHROs. The HR Policy Association, or HRPA, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying organization representing 335 of the nation's largest corporations, strongly opposed the measure, which called for the data to be shared with the public. The HRPA argued that it would overburden employers and expose proprietary information to competitors. SHRM withdrew the proposal late last year.
Some say that SHRM's effort to be all things to all people has compromised its cache. Anyone who coughs up its $180 annual membership fee can join, whereas organizations like HRPA and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in the United Kingdom are much more selective. HRPA's annual CHRO Summit is by invitation only, and the CIPD only admits those who pass rigorous testing.
"If you want respect as a profession, you need to limit the numbers of the people you let in," says Bridie Fanning, a Milwaukee-based consultant who is a member of both SHRM and the CIPD. "Look at law and medicine. You have kids coming out of law school, and there are no jobs. It's great for the law schools but not for the profession. And then you look at the medical profession, and we don't have enough doctors. A business strategy is that you say yes to some customers and no to others. SHRM doesn't know who it's saying yes or no to."
Carr concedes that SHRM's membership strategy is to be inclusive, not exclusive, but he sees that as a strength.
"The strategy behind it was that we didn't want to disenfranchise people," he says. "When we were founded, HR was a growing field, and we wanted to make sure we were as inclusive as possible. We wanted access for everyone. Then you reach a point where you want to be seen as the best in your profession, and that's where certification comes in."
Carr points out that only those who pass the HR Certification Institute exam can become a credentialed HR professional. The institute offers three main credentials—the Professional in Human Resources, Senior Professional in Human Resources and Global Professional in Human Resources. SHRM sells test preparation kits, but HRCI administers the exams.
While 127,439 practitioners have an HRCI certificate, according to the institute, just how much weight those certifications carry is unclear. In the U.S. some companies, like Netflix Inc., don't ask for the credentials when hiring, while in the United Kingdom, "You rarely see an HR job that doesn't require CIPD certification," says Fanning, who wrote her master's thesis on HR professionalization in the U.K. and the U.S.
CIPD certification is not required by all U.K. employers, but "they do have a high degree of currency in the employment market, with many employers considering the credentials to be desirable," says Katy Askew, a CIPD spokeswoman. She says that a CIPD chartered membership, which is awarded to practitioners who pass a rigorous exam and have three to five years of HR experience, is equivalent to a master's degree in the United States.
While the CIPD is the only HR association in the U.K., there are several in the U.S. in addition to SHRM and the HRPA. Among them are International Association for Human Resource Information Management, which has 1,700 members and National Human Resources Association, which has 1,200 active members.
And there are divisions within SHRM itself.
In 2010, a group of former SHRM leaders who were concerned about decisions made by the association's board of directors formed a splinter group called the SHRM Members for Transparency. It is a small but powerful group made up of past presidents, former board members and HR leaders like Gerry Crispin, Jac Fitz-enz, Mike Losey and others.
Among their grievances was the board's 2005 decision to pay its members and allow reimbursement for business-class travel for board members. Other key issues included the large number of board members without HR credentials and the association's inability to hire a president and CEO in a timely fashion after the departure in 2010 of Lon O'Neil, who took over after Sue Meisinger retired in 2008. The job went unfilled for nearly a year before SHRM hired Jackson as then-interim president and CEO. His lack of HR credentials was also a point of contention for the transparency group.
The group even ran its own candidate in the fall 2012 board elections, but she lost.
Many SHRM members dismiss the criticism as sour grapes.
"I know that there are people out there who like to take potshots out there, but I think very highly of the organization," says Dave Ryan, HR director for Mel-o-cream Donuts International Inc. in Springfield, Illinois, and a SHRM member since 2001. "Do they make missteps? Of course they do. But they've done a lot of good things for this profession. Folks were jacked up last year at the leadership conference about board members traveling to India or South America first class, but that just seemed like sour grapes to me."
SHRM officials, including Carr, are undeterred by the criticism. "Aren't those the sort of the inherent tensions in a democracy?" he says. "We are open and inclusive so we will have people with a wide range of views. What we should be or shouldn't be, what we should do and shouldn't do who we should be, all that resides with our board of directors."
As we noted in our survey, about two-thirds of SHRM's members are satisfied with how it's leading the profession. Eventually, however, leaders will have to answer the questions of who, or what, SHRM should be if they want to move beyond the crossroads.
"The issue of SHRM's relevancy is not much of an issue if its membership is growing," says Miranda, SHRM's former CHRO. "The real task for SHRM is figuring out what it doesn't want to be. No organization can be good at everything."

Hello, We use zimbra 8 single server install in my company, but now we're expanding and we are planning to switch to multi server install.
I have read the multi server install guide and not all things are clear to me.
Does Zimbra Proxy act as an load balancer?
Usage scenario: Zimbra Proxy is on mailcluster.domain.tld, MX records for domains a.tld and b.tld are set to it. We want to have two separate mailbox servers for those domains.
Can Zimbra proxy server as an imap/pop/web server for it? We want to enable people from multiple domains to access their webmail/pop/imap on one domain(subdomain) if possible.
Do we need equal number of Mailbox servers and MTAs
It would be best for us to have each domain have it's own separate mailbox servers. Does each Mailbox (Store) server has to have its own MTA?

Delhi Travel guide
Delhi : Michelin's recommendations
A city that encompasses the legendary Orient of old and the modernity of the present day, the political capital of India is a palette of contrasts. Stretching out along the right bank of the Yamuna, a tributary of the Ganges, Delhi is divided between Old Delhi, the city founded in the 17C, and New Delhi, the capital of the Indian empire established by the British. On one side, an inextricable maze of narrow streets full of carts pulled by oxen, with Indo-Muslim monuments such as the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid mosque; and on the other, wide and spacious avenues built in perfectly straight lines which are home to government buildings and embassies.

|Chase County Emergency Management position cut to part-time
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Tuesday, 26 November 2013 18:09
By Carolyn Lee
The Imperial Republican
The Chase County Commissioners will re-interview for the position of Emergency Management Director on Dec. 3.
That's because the commissioners voted 2-1 recently to change the position from full time to part time.
The commissioners originally advertised the position as full time. However, after interviewing prospective employees, they went into executive session at their last meeting.
After coming out of executive session, Commissioners Don Weiss, Jr. and Chuck Vette voted to readvertise the position as part time, while Commissioner Jodi Thompson opposed the change.
Thompson said she voted against the part-time position because "I think there's more work to be done than a part-time person might be willing to give to the job."
County Clerk Deb Clark said letters will be sent to those who applied to see if they are still interested in applying for a part-time position.
The commissioners are looking for someone to replace Paul Kunnemann, who retires Jan. 1, 2014 after 25 years of service. He has been a part-time employee.

Sleep issues; Difficulty falling asleep; Insomnia concerns
Insomnia is difficulty falling or staying asleep. In many cases, changing a few behaviors can help you sleep better. Sometimes, medication is needed. Behavioral changes should be tried first.
Talk with your doctor or nurse if any of the following symptoms interfere with your ability to function during the day:
Here are some simple tips to get a better night's sleep:
Do something relaxing just before bedtime (such as reading or taking a bath) so that you don't think about worrisome thoughts. Watching TV or using a computer may be stimulating and disturb your ability to fall asleep. If you can't fall asleep within 30 minutes, get up and move to another room and engage in a quiet activity until you feel sleepy.
One method of preventing worries from keeping you awake is to keep a journal before going to bed. List all issues that worry you. By this method you transfer your worries from your thoughts to paper, leaving your mind quieter and more ready to fall asleep.
While 7 - 8 hours a night is recommended for most people, children and teenagers need more. Older people tend to do fine with less sleep at night, but may still require approximately 8 hours of sleep over a 24-hour period. The quality of sleep is as important as how much sleep you get.

Hotel L'Antico Pozzo San Gimignano Historical Residence
Holidays in San Gimignano ... a journey into the heart of Tuscany
Ancient history and many attractions to discover in San Gimignano
Hotel L'Antico Pozzo, the style hotel in San Gimignano, is not only a fine period residence but also a place where the stories, legends and magic of San Gimignano come alive.
This medieval town is unanimously acknowledged among Italy's most fascinating, and you can discover the secrets held within the walls of this ancient palace and experience the beauty of our land here in the heart of Tuscany.
Before being transformed into an elegant hotel, in the 17th Century the L'Antico Pozzo, or "The Ancient Well" was a convent. According to legend, the namesake well which still exists, was used to hang young virgin women in punishment for opposing the "Droit de Seigneur" law of medieval times.
This "Law of Feudal Lords" gave the nobleman complete physical rights over the young women living on the noble estate. Those virgins whom refused to submit to the lord were left for few days over the well.
In the eighteenth century, the Sala Rosa, or "Pink Room" of the Hotel L'Antico Pozzo was a dance hall that housed the lavish celebrations of the local aristocracy.
The building has maintained every possible element of its past splendor and is especially appealing to art lovers and those looking for refined elegance.
Choose our hotel in San Gimignano for a mystical, historical and relaxing experience, and as a perfect base to explore our unique city.
Hotel L'Antico Pozzo, for lovers of art...
We look forward to hosting you!

This happened on the other side of the state from me.. It was unreal how warm the weather was last friday, into saturday morning. The wife and I were out around midnight on friday, and it was 65 degrees.. Woke up satuday morning and it was around 20.. I guess the front pushed through the Eastern part of the state a little later.
Sad deal for sure, but I don't think it can be stressed enough how you must always be prepared for inclement weather, especially in the winter.

Change seems to be the word surrounding Ana Ivanovic these days and it continues this week in Tokyo.
Apparently, the French Open champ is looking to tweak her once explosive game and has switched to the Yonex RQiS 1Tour XL, a model not yet on sale publicly and only used by Ana in the professional ranks. She revealed the reason for the switch in her diary saying,
Talking of rackets, I have a new one! Yonex have made a slightly lighter racket for me, which helps because I can get a little more head speed. It's a new design too, which I really like.And no girl would be caught dead with an old style bag to lug around her shiny new stick so the Serb will be toting around an new, exclusive racquet purse:
Ballers are usually very sensitive to even minute changes in racquets, stringing, balls, etc. so it'll be interesting to see if her results change either way.
We'll all be watching Ana.

Hi everybody
I am a new Zimbra user and I hope there is someone who can help me. I just installed the Zimbra Outlook Connector 184.108.40.2069 to sync my Zimbra account with Outlook 2010 32-Bit. The sync is now in progress since 20 minutes and I can see that hundreds of accounts are synchronized (all users). CPU is at 70%. My account is ok. All the others are empty. How can I prevent that more than just my account is synchronized?
Thank you for your feedback.

The following is an industry press release...
MILWAUKEE (March 8, 2013) – The 2013 Harley-Davidson® Breakout® motorcycle is an urban prowler, a bike ready for a midnight ramble to the roadhouse or a rib joint rendezvous with the crew. Green light? Crack the throttle to deliver a muscular dose of American V-Twin torque and etch the asphalt with a fat rear tire. The Breakout will be long gone, along with its rider's inhibitions.
With authentic swagger that turns heads in traffic and a proud stance certain to draw a curb-side crowd on bike night, the Breakout is presented as a premium model in its segment with distinctive finishes and specific components not available on other Harley-Davidson bikes. Long and low-slung, the Breakout features a 240mm rear tire visually balanced with thick forks and chopped fenders, while a shaved tank console and a drag handlebar keep the profile low. A Twin Cam 103B™ powertrain and other components are trimmed in gleaming chrome and gloss-black paint.
Like the acclaimed 2013 Custom Vehicle Operations™ (CVO™) Breakout® model that precedes it, the Breakout features styling that's smooth, tight, and intended to showcase the engine and the tires.
"With Breakout we got down to motorcycle essentials, which means emphasizing the powertrain and the wheels," says Harley-Davidson Styling Manager Kirk Rasmussen. "The black and chrome engine visually pops out of the center the bike, and then to maximize the impact of the tires, the fenders are chopped. We wanted a lot of rubber showing to give the Breakout a tough, muscular look."
The Gasser wheels are new and specific to the Breakout, according to Rasmussen.
"We've always loved the gasser-style drag racing wheels from the 1960s and '70s," says Rasmussen. "Our wheels are loosely inspired by those classics. Each wheel has 10 half-round spokes. The gloss-black powdercoat is machined away on alternating spokes and the rim edge to expose the aluminum under the paint."
A gloss-black finish is also applied to the new cast aluminum oil tank, as well as fork lowers, brake rotors, muffler shields and the handlebar.
"To lower Breakout's overall profile, we placed the speedometer on the handlebar riser," says Rasmussen, "and topped the fuel tank with a black leather strip that covers the seam, and a chrome-plated pod that's just high enough to conceal necessary wiring and vent lines. The handlebar is a new curved drag bend that which I think feels aggressive when you ride."
The Softail® chassis mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame, but utilizes rear suspension control provided by coil-over shock absorbers mounted horizontally and out of sight within the frame rails. The Breakout is available with ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and the Harley-Davidson security system as a factory-installed option.

Testimony :: Dr. Sophie van Bijsterveld
Co-Chair of the OSCE/ODIHR Advisory Panel - on Freedom of Religion or Belief
Mr. Moderator, Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. Introduction
I am grateful for the opportunity to be here and to be able to share some thoughts with you on the legislative developments as regards religion in the OSCE region. I would like to stress that I am speaking in a personal capacity and not as a Co-Chair and Member of the ODIHR/OSCE Advisory Panel of Experts on Freedom of Religion or Belief.
The aim of this presentation is two-fold: first, to sketch a perspective against which to assess registration of religion; second, to address the role of the OSCE in issues of religious liberty.
2. Registration of religions
In dealing with socio-religious change, states often turn to the instrument of legislation. In this legislation, the mechanism of registration of religions plays a crucial role. Indeed, one of the recurrent issues under which legal problems of religious liberty become manifested in the OSCE region is that of the registration of religions. This has also made the phenomenon of "registration" itself suspect.
It is important, however, to realize that registration, even if this mechanism has become charged in the context of legislative change, is not in itself good or bad. The assessment of registration from a point of view of religious liberty entirely depends on the function that registration fulfils in a legal system and the legal consequences that are attached to registration. The assessment of registration and the criteria to be met in order for a religion to be registered depends on these underlying elements. This starting-point allows us to make some concrete observations.
Registration as an absolute requirement
1. A requirement of registration of religious groups as a precondition for the lawful exercise of religious freedom is worrisome in the light of international human rights standards. Prior permission of the government for allowing a person to adhere to a religion and to exercise this religion in community with others is problematic in the light of internationally acknowledged religious liberty standards. Religious liberty should not be made dependent on prior government "clearance". This touches the very essence of religious liberty. The motives for requiring registration in this case, banning or controlling religion, are not in tune with international standards. The same is true for coupling this requirement with the penalization of adherence to an unregistered religion.
2. A government may wish to counter particular behavior. Controlling the existence of or adherence to religions as such, introducing a requirement of registration is not the right approach. The law should deal with the actions and manifestations themselves instead of criminalizing a particular religion in general. In other words, if, in such case, the motives of a government, i.e., to tackle particular behavior, were justifiable, using the mechanism of registration is not the right means to achieve that end. The problem with registration in this case lies with the legal consequences attached to it.
Registration and entity status
3. It is important to notice that registration also fulfils many other functions in the legal systems of OSCE countries.
One of the primary conditions for being able to function as an organization in society is that of enjoying entity status, i.e., to be able to function as a legal entity, as a collective distinct from the individual members. In order to function as a legal entity, a certain structure is required; the allocation of responsibilities for decision-making and financial matters needs to be clear. Legal systems often require some sort of registration for obtaining such entity status. If registration fulfils a role in the process of requiring entity status, the role of the state is, in principle, a facilitative one. Without such a legal status, on the basis of which an organization can function independently from its members, the effective exercise of a religion as an organization would be illusory. Thus, registration for religious and other groups (whether or not this distinction is made) is basically an expression of the facilitative role of the state.
The facilitative role of the state can change into its opposite if the criteria to be met in order to register are disproportionally burdensome. For instance, a requirement of having a minimum of thousands of members simply to gain entity status would be disproportionate and would hence be hard to justify in the light of religious liberty. Instead of an expression of the facilitative role of the state - allowing entity status - the requirement would be an overt expression of a restriction of collective and organizational religious liberty. The requirement of a long-standing existence in the particular country can be seen in the same perspective. Overly broad discretionary powers for administrative authorities in this perspective are obviously not desirable either.
3. Religious liberty and the structure of church and state relationships
The facilitative role of the state is not limited to the granting of entity status. Often in states more elaborate facilities exist to enable the functioning of religion and religious organizations in society, such as chaplaincy services in public institutions, religious education in (the context of) state schools, or the establishment of acknowledged private schools, access to the mass media, tax facilities, or ancient church monument care. The precise legal format of these facilitative arrangements depends on legal cultural factors and the general legal system of a particular country, for example, how the general education system is set up. These elements are, of course, important for the functioning of religions in the societal reality. In societies as ours, which are highly regulated and in which the state has a strong ordering and re-distributive function, they play an important role. However, they exceed the very basic functioning of entity status.
Registration and the integration of religious organizations in the general social sector
4. In one form or another, facilities to enable the functioning of religion and religious organizations in society are available in all types of systems of church and state relationships, whether there is separation of church and state relationships, or systems of cooperation or of established churches. Differences in these issues often seem to depend more on the general role of the state in society (a stronger role of the private sector (more "market") or a stronger role for the public sector) than on constitutional principles regarding the role of the state vis-à-vis churches.
In systems of separation of church and state, a decision on whether a particular religion or religious organization qualifies for a facility needs to be taken in the context of the law that regulates the particular issue. In the Netherlands, for example, access to the public mass media system requires and administrative judgement. The granting of fiscal benefits, such as tax exemptions for charitable purposes, also need to be seen in the light of the requirements of the specific law. As a result, these judgements tend to be less visible and generally are not dealt with in the context of "registration", although their underlying rationale is not fundamentally different.
Typically, in systems of cooperation between church and state, organizations based on a religion or belief which meet particular criteria are entitled a certain status, giving them not only entity status, but qualifying them for a set of other facilities as well. Thus, the systems becomes multi-tiered. From a viewpoint of religious liberty, this is not a problem. Indeed, the facilitative role of the state is paramount. It is also clear that, in the perspective of the facilities granted, often more and stricter requirements are needed than for simply obtaining entity status. Whether these requirements are acceptable depends on their being adequate and proportional for the purpose. As long as the system is open, that is, as long as all religions which meet the requirements qualify for the facilities, the facilitative dimension of the system is paramount. For those who do not meet the requirements, obtaining entity status in some form or other should be possible.
In conclusion, we need to see through the outward design of the system and concentrate on the substantive issues of the position of one religion and another. Not one particular type of system is a priori "better" from a religious liberty point of view. A more detailed scrutiny and assessment is necessary in order to form a sound legal opinion. But there are certainly some approaches and criteria that can guide us in assessing registration issues.
4. The role of the OSCE
The predominantly non-legally binding nature of OSCE commitments and the political-diplomatic functioning of the OSCE are sometimes seen as a weakness of the organization. These features, however, are also its strength. Without duplicating other international efforts, the OSCE contributes to the promotion of human rights - including religious liberty - in a unique and supplementary way. This is true with respect to religious liberty as well.
The role of the OSCE in dealing with religious liberty could be
- to engage (participating states) in a process of further developing a common understanding of the dimensions and requirements of religious liberty,
- to focus primarily on structural developments, and
- to aim at reaching viable long-term results.
As religious liberty issues are seldom isolated, main streaming religious liberty issues in a broader human rights perspective is important as well.
The OSCE has manifested involvement with issues of religious liberty both in developing standards and in making their interpretation and implementation subject of attention, notably through Human Dimension Implementation Meetings and the organization of Seminars.
The interest taken in issues of religious liberty is also reflected by the establishment of the OSCE/ODIHR Advisory Panel of Experts for freedom of religion or belief. This took place in the aftermath of the 1996 Seminar on the topic of 'Constitutional, Legal, and Administrative Aspects of the Freedom of Religion'. The Panel is an advisory and consultative body to the ODIHR. Through the ODIHR, the panel may provide assistance on religious liberty issues. The composition of the Panel reflects different geographical, denominational, and legal backgrounds, although each member acts in a capacity of expert. In a relatively short time, the Panel has already been able to offer advice on particular issues of religious liberty in various countries, including that of the registration of religions.
However important the legal dimension of religious liberty is, legal problems often reflect underlying problems. For this reason, the Panel has three focus areas. Apart from Legislative Issues, issues with which this presentation is concerned, the panel has outlined Education and Tolerance, and Conflict Prevention and Dialogue as areas of distinct interest, and has formed its working groups accordingly.
5. Conclusion
Issues of religious liberty deserve international attention, based on international human rights law. Such an international approach should have its own distinctive contribution to the protection of religious liberty, exceeding merely national perspectives.
The specific value of OSCE involvement with issues of religious liberty lie in their focus on the long term and in the contribution it can make to creating a forum for dialogue and the building of understanding, under the acknowledgment of and adherence to its human rights commitments. Thus, it offers concrete and structural assistance to states in addressing these problems which are important for the quality of society.

[PAC] Hey

You feel me?
[RR] Well let em know
[Verse 1: 2pac]
You fucking with niggas that's insecure
Watered down, my shit is pure
Write down my number but don't call me 'til you sure
I ain't begging just trying to relocate between your legs
Dripping wet, as we experiment in sweaty sex
When you met me you wouldn't let me, and now
You straight begging to sex me got you undressing to test me and uhh..
[Verse 2: Richie Rich]
Shut me down if you want, and miss the chance to do it live
When I stroll by, I see that look in yo' eye
You want a nigga, but think that you can't have a nigga
Don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself
If you scared, go to church, I know it hurts
To find out me and your man be sharing skirts
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
I'm hoping you don't take this the wrong way
But your body is banging, got me attracted in a strong way
After a long day of trying to make my songs pay
Making love all day against the wall in the hallway
Your fantasies come alive, your heart rate
Shall increase when we meet up in this dark place
You might think you're happy with him
But that's a lie, so give this thug a try
I'd rather be ya nigga
[Hook x2: 2Pac]
I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
Cause busters ain't loving you right
[Verse 4: 2Pac]
Look, now you was sprung from the introduction
My conversation's full of game yet laced with seductions
I see you blushing like you want something, come get a taste
Of Amerikaz Most Wanted and let's get into some touching, erotic fuckin
My up and down with no interruptions
Have no intentions of busting until you learn your lesson
Now many questions are often asked, a drop top, 500 Benz
And plenty cash, to help a nigga get the ass
[Verse 5: Richie Rich]
You can ride out with spoke coke, to get your lobster and crab
Cause all I got is conversation and a gang of stab
And I'mma listen when it hurts, I'ma hang out but never stay
Smoke blunts but leave them stunts up to Super Dave
I'll be your nigga, as long as we can understand
That I's the nigga and spoke coke can be the man
He wine and dine, but me and you we whine and grind
And when I'm on the field keep you on the sidelines
[Verse 6: 2Pac]
Now it's time for the moment of truth, I got you naked
Totally sweating, let's see how hot I can make it
Tongue kissing til yo' head swang
I'm so into you, witness a nigga make the bed bang
If it's all mine, then let me know
Now scream my name out; do you want it fast or shall I hit it slow?
Not to mention, the multiple positions I inflict
A boss player, freaky motherfucker, can addict
[Verse 7: Richie Rich]
It's on and popping, now you see what I was seeing
Why your eyes rolling? Loosen up, girl, I ain't going
Nowhere, let's let that sucker stay out there
While he's stressed out and knock I stretch out the cock
Hold the boots, and let a nigga execute
And though you got it right, I'm going home tonight
[Verse 8: 2Pac]
You say you don't need a man, but I don't care
You're in the presence of a player, I'd rather be ya nigga
Song from disc 2 of Pac's album All Eyez On Me.
The original song which 2Pac sampled for this song is "I'd Rather Be With You" by Bootsy Collins.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Researchers, tribal elders and health care professionals are working to bridge the gap between the decline in Native American health and living organ donations.
An associate professor at South Dakota State University's College of Nursing, Nancy Fahrenwald is collecting information from Native American dialysis patients on three reservations and providing education about the benefits and risks of living kidney donation.
The effort is in response to a long-held Lakota belief that living organ donations are not only physical sacrifices, but spiritual ones. That perspective prevents some Native Americans on dialysis from discussing donations with family members.
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe member Jerry Clown's kidneys are failing. He tells the Capital Journal (http://bit.ly/Via5co) that he hopes a family member will offer him a kidney because he can't bring himself to ask.

Hi Everyone.
Managed to deploy Zimbra 8.0.3 on Ubuntu without too many problems. I even managed to configure all 30+ computers with the Outlook connector and setup their profiles without touching a single machine. Group policy and a VB.net app i wrote. (I need to create a routine to get settings from a .ini file then I can share with you all if you want).
Basically one of my remaining problems is that all users are working on the internal network using the Outlook connector. I have 1 user who uses the web interface and 1 user who uses ActiveSync. Everyone else is on Outlook.
Some of the users have weak passwords in AD which is a worry. The company will not employ a strict password policy.
How can i turn off the web interface for everyone expect the required user(s)? Exchange allows you to pick which features users get and i'm hoping Zimbra does the same somehow. I have mobile access turned off by default in the COS and turned it on for the one user, so that's not an issue.
Thanks in advance
