"We used a lot of colorful pictures from our engagement shoot so our guests were blown away even with the standard finishing of the invite. We also added a photo on the back so it became a keep sake for many."
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"I absolutely love the Monogram at the top and the design was perfect. It matched our wedding colors exactly. Wedding Paper Divas even switched to the color we requested prior to ordering and it shipped in 3-5 days. Awesome company!!"
"We made several changes. We personalized the color to make it match our accent color, gold. It came out perfect. We added spacing so there was a distinction between the venue and when the wedding is. We changed the reception font so it matches our names. The designer was so easy to work with. I am glad we chose the shimmer paper. It looks so classy. We will be mailing our invites soon."
"This suite turned out beautiful! I went with the double-thick matte paper and was very pleased with the quality feel. Worth the extra. The blushes and corals are true to what you see online. Very elegant! Turnaround time was quicker than promised and any edits were made quicker than expected."

The fifteenth incarnation of Wine Blogging Wednesday, the blogging world's virtual wine tasting event, is coming next month and its theme is close to my heart. As is the host. My neighbor across the bay, Fatemeh, who runs the blog Gastronomie, will be the master of ceremonies for this next tasting, and as the theme she has selected wines made in quantities of less than 250 cases. And of course, that's a wonderful thing.
So if you have a blog, go out and find a small production wine and pop the cork by Wednesday November 2nd, and then write up a review.
It may be challenging for some of you to find such micro production wines, but I urge you to persevere. Stay away from the largest, most commercial wine stores and visit the smaller stores, or even consider asking at a restaurant with an excellent wine list next time you're in for dinner. While more difficult to track down, these wines are invariably worth the effort.

Ben Ainslie to be first Torchbearer for the Olympic Torch Relay
by RYA on 11 May 2012
Ben Ainslie Lloyd Images ©
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has now confirmed that the first Torchbearer for the Olympic Torch Relay - presented by Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung - will be 3-time Olympic Gold medallist Ben Ainslie CBE.
Ben will start the 70-day Relay at the Land's End Landmark signpost at 7.08am on 19 May. He grew up in Cornwall and won Gold medals in Sailing at the Beijing, Athens and Sydney Olympic Games. He also won a Silver medal at the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
Ben said (draft): 'I am extremely honoured to be the first Torchbearer at the start of the Olympic Torch Relay. It will be an amazing experience to be able to carry the Olympic Flame in the area that I grew up in, with my friends and family there to cheer me on.
'I also want to congratulate the thousands of other inspirational people who will carry the Torch this summer and bring the excitement of the Games to streets throughout the UK.'
Seb Coe, Chair of LOCOG said: 'Ben is the perfect person to start the Relay in Land's End as he grew up in the area and is an inspirational sportsman who has worked hard to achieve his goals.
'He will kick off what will be an amazing celebration of people and places from all over the UK in the run up to the Olympics Games this summer.'
Ben is one of 8,000 Torchbearers who will carry the Olympic Flame during the Relay. At Land's End he will pass the Flame to 18-year-old Anastasia Swallow, a Torchbearer from the Coca-Cola nomination campaign.
The other Torchbearers at Land's End will be: Eric Smith, 76, who was nominated through the LOCOG campaign, Victoria Smith, 16, who was nominated through the Lloyds TSB campaign and Stephen Brady, 59, who was nominated through the Samsung campaign.
On leaving Land's End, the Olympic Flame will travel an estimated 8,000 miles around the UK giving thousands of communities and individuals their moment to shine as the Olympic Flame comes to a place near them.
Some of the other inspirational people from the world of sailing who have been selected to carry the torch include:
- 1964 Olympic silver medallist - Keith Musto
- RYA Performance Squad sailor - Katrina Hughes
- Volunteer - Luke McGill
- Paralympic hopeful - Blaire Hannan
- Paralympic GB sailor – Alex Rickham
- OnBoard volunteer – Margaret Hyde
- RYA Young volunteer of the Year award winner – Aaron Reynolds
With more inspirational sailing torch bearers still to be announced.

BOGUS AT WHEEL Z Blue Light Car Chase Fantasist Has Sideline as Catholic Priest in Web Church; SERMONS AND
Byline: Exclusive By Mark McGivern email@example.com
A FANTASIST who posed as a policeman on a high speed car chase to impress a neighbour has another alter ego - as a priest.
One-legged David Barclay has established himself as an unlikely leader of an international church group.
And their website is looking for new priests and donations from the public.
As His Excellency Monsignor Father David Barclay, he claims to be one of the British heads of the Church of Our Lady and Saviour, part of the Western Catholic Orthodox Church.
At his right hand is his wife Ruth - known as the Reverend Mother Supreme Ruth.
Among an array of services, jobless Barclay's church offer to carry out weddings and funerals.
Earlier this week, we told how Barclay, 37, of Port of Menteith, Stirlingshire, took neighbour on a high-speed car chase his ne 19 saying he worked for the police. …

Painting Progress
Two Jameses #artistictuesday
I'm facing a dilemma. I'm working on re-illustrating and I finally have all the drafts done. The problem is, the new James looks much different than the old James (two very different styles) and I'm not sure which style to go with. Obviously, James 2.0 will still be different from 1.0, but I'm wondering if I should bring it closer to 1.5 instead. Not sure, so today it's open ended – which do you like better?
You can comment here, or just like one of the pictures on Facebook.
In the meantime, I've been painting the non people scenes with acrylics on cold press paper. *love* it.
In the Works
The other day I went and reorganized the location of a lot of my paintings, and decided I wanted to make a more coherent/designy living room piece to replace the 16×20 fairies and 11×14 still life that are currently sitting above the tv. I've always wanted to live somewhere that had some semblance of intentional design. I'm not that good at it yet, at least not when it comes to decorating an entire apartment, but I'm getting better sort of, I hope.
I've been watching on of my friends on Facebook put together her first apartment with her fiancé in ways that I sort of wish I could – and then I realized that I actually could if I figured out enough of an idea of what I wanted to do. But I've always had a sort of eclectic style and everything is a mis-match of things, though, I generally like to try to find the things that pull that together so it doesn't look weird. I'm not sure that I've completely figured that out, or that the piece I've been working on will achieve that, but I think it's a step in the right direction.
My kitchen is fairies now – I took out all the coffee stuff. I moved the Harry Potter stuff out of the living room and my bedroom and moved it into the studio – perfect inspiration really. Well, and I put the lego HP poster on the fridge and it kind of rocks there.
So now I have the 16×20 fairy paintings in the living room, which I'm going to store and replace somehow, eventually. But last night I spent most of my energy working on a centre piece and I really like how it's coming out so far.
It's not my usual style (apologies for the bad lighting, it was taken at 10pm), but I wanted something a little inspiring, and since I have two Pinterest boards dedicated to phrases that intrigue, inspire, or resonate with me, I thought I'd feature one.
I'm hoping to finish that tonight while Alex is working. And I think I'm going to find an evening project for the next 3 weeks to make Alex's schedule change a bit more bearable. I don't feel too bad about him being late if I'm engrossed in working on something too instead of being bored. So I think after this is done, I'll have a bit more creative energy and inspiration and I'll be working on redoing the illustrations for The Balloon Lady. If I don't get side tracked and decide to repaint everything else….

I finished my art journal entry that I wrote the other day, and by that I mean I added paint (and sparkles!)
I like the idea of blending journaling and art – for so long I've kept my thoughts and art separate, I think it will be good to mix them together. I think it'll also motivate me to do something nearly every day and "bridge the gap" as it were (or at least, make a lot of art and a lot of progress) without having to by more canvases for my ever shrinking wall space. I don't know why I didn't think of that before…
One Year (of Painting) 1 comment
Last year, today, I started painting. I took my first painting lesson and painted some flowers in a vase. So I thought, that it would be fun to put up my first painting, and my last painting side by side. I didn't paint today, so it's not *exactly* a 8/25-8/25 year, but it's close, and makes me happy.

The hills and mountains rise and fall around the holiday village; the high peaks rise in emerald verdure; the scenery is pleasant and beautiful, full of rustic charms of nature. The holiday village covers more than 100 mu with underground heat energy up to 5 sq. km. There are more than 100 springs in the open air with monthly flow of 100,000 cubic meters. One of the springs gives out 60 cubic meters every hour. The temperate of the hot spring in the holiday village is above 80, which can boil chicken eggs. Therefore there are chicken egg pools near many hot springs. One can bathe in the hot spring as he or she scales the boiled eggs to eat. The water of the hot spring can be used to improve people's health, used in physiotherapy and cure disease.
In the holiday village, various swimming pools, fountains, pavilions, waters, flowers, parks and hills form a large scale entertainment place with omni-directional and multifunctional systems, which are picturesque and romantic as a poet and a picture.

J. Marc Lewis
Thank you, Ginny. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to MasTec's Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call. The following statement is made pursuant to the Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements as described in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In these communications, we may make certain statements that are forward-looking, such as statements regarding MasTec's future results, plans and anticipated trends in the industries where we operate. These forward-looking statements are the company's expectations on the day of the initial broadcast of this conference call, and the company will make no effort to update these expectations based on subsequent events or knowledge. Various risks, uncertainties and assumptions are detailed in our press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from results expressed or implied in these communications.
In today's remarks by management, we will primarily be discussing adjusted financial metrics as discussed and reconciled in yesterday's press release and supporting schedules. In addition, we may use certain non-GAAP financial measures in this conference call. A reconciliation of any non-GAAP financial measures not reconciled in these comments to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in our earnings release, our 10-K or in the Investors and News sections of our website located at mastec.com.
With us today, we have Jose Mas, our Chief Executive Officer; and Bob Campbell, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before I hand over the call, we'll hear opening remarks and analysis by Jose, followed by a financial review from Bob. These discussions will be followed by a Q&A period and we expect the call to last for about 60 minutes.
We have a lot of great things to talk about today, and I'd like to turn the call over to Jose. Jose?
Jose Ramon Mas
Thank you, Marc. Good morning, and welcome to MasTec's 2012 year-end call. Today, I will be reviewing our fourth quarter and full year results, as well as providing my outlook for 2013 and the markets we serve.
Before getting into details, I'd like to take a step back and make some observations. A few years ago, we publicly set out to diversify our business and put ourselves in a position to have greater growth opportunities with improved margins. Over the course of the last 5 years, we have grown revenue from just under $1 billion to $3.7 billion with some pretty remarkable organic growth. And during that same time frame, EBITDA has grown sixfold. We accomplished these objectives despite a difficult market environment. While these are impressive financial results, our greatest accomplishment is how we positioned ourselves across a number of growth industries that offer us expanding opportunities for both continued growth and better margins during an improving market environment which, today, we are clearly in.
Now some full year highlights. 2012 revenue was up 32% to $3.7 billion. Organic revenue growth for the full year was 25%. 2012 continuing operations adjusted EBITDA was up 35% to $332 million. Full year cash flows from operations was $172 million and 2012 full year continuing operation adjusted EPS was up 55% to $1.50. For the fourth quarter, revenue was up 27% to $932 million, organic revenue growth for the quarter was 26%, fourth quarter continuing operations adjusted EBITDA was up 100% to $99 million and quarterly cash flow from operations was $57 million, and fourth quarter continuing operations adjusted EPS was up 283% to $0.46.
In summary, we had another excellent quarter and an excellent 2012. More importantly, 2013 is shaping up to be another record year for MasTec. While we are bullish about all the markets we serve, we expect the primary growth engines of the company to be our pipeline, wireless and transmission markets. We'll cover those more specifically later.
Also, it's important to note that included in our 10-K is a business breakdown by segments. From this point forward, we will be providing financial data by the following segments: communications, oil and gas pipeline, electrical transmission and a power generation and industrial segment. Bob will provide more details on those later.
Now I would like to cover some industry specifics. Our communications revenue for 2012 was $1.8 billion, an 8.4% increase over 2011. Our install-to-the-home revenue was up 10% over the prior year, driven by the full year results of the acquisition we made in 2011, which expanded our territory and gave us a large presence in the northeast. Highlights for 2012 included the successful integration of our acquisition and the extension of our contract with DIRECTV through 2016. We expect single-digit growth in this market in 2013.

Faithful God, you gave Jan Hus the courage to confess your truth and recall your Church to the image of Christ: Enable us, inspired by his example, to bear witness against corruption and never cease to pray for our enemies, that we may prove faithful followers of our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
21 'Agree with God,* and be at peace;
in this way good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty,* you will be restored,
if you remove unrighteousness from your tents,
24 if you treat gold like dust,
and gold of Ophir like the stones of the torrent-bed,
25 and if the Almighty* is your gold
and your precious silver,
26 then you will delight in the Almighty,*
and lift up your face to God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will pay your vows.
28 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
29 When others are humiliated, you say it is pride;
for he saves the humble.
30 He will deliver even those who are guilty;
they will escape because of the cleanness of your hands.'*
113 I hate the double-minded,
but I love your law.
114 You are my hiding-place and my shield;
I hope in your word.
115 Go away from me, you evildoers,
that I may keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live,
and let me not be put to shame in my hope.
117 Hold me up, that I may be safe
and have regard for your statutes continually.
118 You spurn all who go astray from your statutes;
for their cunning is in vain.
119 All the wicked of the earth you count as dross;
therefore I love your decrees.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you,
and I am afraid of your judgements.
1'And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars:
'I know your works; you have a name for being alive, but you are dead. 2Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is at the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. 3Remember then what you received and heard; obey it, and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. 4Yet you have still a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes; they will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5If you conquer, you will be clothed like them in white robes, and I will not blot your name out of the book of life; I will confess your name before my Father and before his angels. 6Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
34Therefore I send you prophets, sages, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, 35so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36Truly I tell you, all this will come upon this generation.
37 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 38See, your house is left to you, desolate.* 39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord." '

To use two condoms when banging a bitch.
Double-bagging it with that dirty ho saved me from getting AIDS and syphilis, but unfortunately I still ended up with gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis B, C, P, and W, crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.

Word Balloons: SoonerCon kicks off this weekend
There's a strong Texas flavor in this year's SoonerCon, which is using the tag line "2010: A Bubba Odyssey" to promote the show. The convention runs today through Sunday. Joe R. Lansdale, author of "Bubba Ho-Tep" and "Vanilla Ride" is the guest of honor at this weekend's show. Lansdale has written more than 30 books and has won 16 Bram Stoker Awards, which honor superior achievement in horror writing. Lansdale, born and raised in the Lone Star State, talks about the myth of Texas at his website, joerlansdale.com. "Texas is so wrapped up in myth and legend, it's hard to know what the state and its people are really about," Lansdale said. "Real Texans, raised on these myths and legends, sometimes become legends themselves. The bottom line is, Texas and its people are pretty much what most people mean when they use the broader term 'America.'" In the 1990s, Lansdale wrote three "Jonah Hex" miniseries for DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. The Western-horror hybrid series were drawn by Tim Truman. The film "Jonah Hex," starring Josh Brolin and Megan Fox, will open June 18. Hex's scarred, cynical cowboy faced more mystical threats in the Lansdale-penned series. In 1993's "Two-Gun Mojo," Hex faces voodoo-fueled zombies. In 1995's "Riders of the Worm and Such," Hex meets a Cthulhu-like monster. And in 1999's "Shadows West," the final Lansdale "Hex" series, Hex is involved with spirit people. Lansdale's "Jonah Hex" stories are out of print but findable. Another SoonerCon guest hailing from Texas is John Lucas, a Texan by birth who recently returned to the state after six years in New York. Lucas has drawn comics including "Batman: Streets of Gotham," "Fear Agent," "Exterminators," "Arkham Reborn" and "Civil War Frontline." SoonerCon has more than 50 invited guests and dozens of panels and performances. SoonerCon will be at the Biltmore Hotel, 401 S Meridian. For more information, go to www.soonercon.com.

Toward the Decentralization of Criminal Procedure: State Constitutional Law and Selective Disincorporation
Latzer, Barry, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology
When one surveys the growing body of criminal procedure cases in which the decision is grounded in a state constitutional provision, a rather startling trend becomes manifest.(1) It is increasingly evident that at some time during the early years of the next century virtually every significant federal constitutional criminal procedure right will have been duplicated or expanded as a matter of state law by the appellate courts of most of the states. That is, the same rights that defendants now enjoy as a result of United States Supreme Court cases construing the federal Bill of Rights, or an even broader state-law-based version of those rights, will be established in most of the states by cases construing state bills of rights.(2) Little if any thought has been given to the implications of this development for constitutional law in the United States, or on the relations between state courts and the United States Supreme Court.(3)
For openers, consider this question: if defendants' rights are protected by state law, why is there a need for redundant federal law?(4) Why provide federal protections where state rights exist, especially in light of the fact that the state rights are as broad or broader? This is in part, of course, a question about the Supreme Court's incorporation policy by which federal rights have been applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.(5) The stock answer is that together, the federal rights established through incorporation and the rights established through interpretation of state constitutions afford a double-barreled protection for individual rights in America, and we all benefit from such dual assurances.(6) Upon close examination, however, rights-redundancy has distinct disadvantages.
There can be little question that incorporation forced the states to adopt uniform procedures without regard to local needs. In the decades since the 1960s, when the Supreme Court "selectively" incorporated nearly all of the criminal procedure rights in the Bill of Rights,(7) the state courts have had little choice but to give force to these federal procedures (absent broader state rights). No matter how costly, no matter how inefficient, no matter how difficult to implement, no matter how much injustice they might cause, and no matter how inappropriate to local circumstances they might be, the state courts have had to give effect to these federal procedural rights.(8) These disadvantages of incorporation were acknowledged even in the 1960s, but they were believed to be outweighed by one important value: equality. Whatever the disadvantages in stifling state uniqueness, independence, and freedom to experiment, the advantage of uniform treatment of defendants throughout the United States, at least with respect to the fundamental rights of the Bill of Rights, seemed to justify incorporation.
But let us be candid. Incorporation was also predicated upon an assumption--a very negative assumption--about the states, and especially about state courts. The assumption was that some state courts were chronically, and virtually all state courts were occasionally, backward. Without the Supreme Court to stand over them, ready to review and reverse, the state courts would fail to provide the minimal rights that all defendants were entitled to at all times. In short, incorporation was motivated by the Mississippi Problem: the assumption that the state bench was, at its worst racist and incompetent, and merely competent most of the time.
This essay contends that the Mississippi Problem is history, that the state courts are no longer rights-antediluvians, and that therefore an entire set of assumptions underlying incorporation has eroded. The proof of the change in the state courts lies in their eagerness to protect federal constitutional rights, but even more, in the development of state constitutional law. State constitutionalism has not only created rights-redundancy, it has undermined the very reasons for that redundancy. …

Dietary restriction has been shown to have several health benefits including increased insulin sensitivity, stress resistance, reduced morbidity, and increased life span. The mechanism remains unknown, but the need for a long-term reduction in caloric intake to achieve these benefits has been assumed. We report that when C57BL/6 mice are maintained on an intermittent fasting (alternate-day fasting) dietary-restriction regimen their overall food intake is not decreased and their body weight is maintained. Nevertheless, intermittent fasting resulted in beneficial effects that met or exceeded those of caloric restriction including reduced serum glucose and insulin levels and increased resistance of neurons in the brain to excitotoxic stress. Intermittent fasting therefore has beneficial effects on glucose regulation and neuronal resistance to injury in these mice that are independent of caloric intake.

This is the latest ballot in indieWIRE's 2008 Critics Poll, continuing the tradition of a national survey of critics by calling attention to the year's best -- and, in many cases, most overlooked -- films, providing a meaningful counterpoint to much of the year-end hoopla. Note that some lists are unranked at the discretion of the critic. For all categories except Best Undistributed Film, eligible feature films had first-run theatrical engagements in the U.S. during 2008. Films without a U.S. distributor, screened anywhere (festival circuit, one-off screenings, etc.), are eligible in the Best Undistributed Film category. The full list of critics poll ballots is available here at indieWIRE and tabulated results are being published by indieWIRE later this month.

Did You Know?
-Investing in Thomas Edison's ground breaking work, J.P. Morgan's home would become the first private residence in the world to have electricity.
-Julius Caesar was once captured by pirates. When the pirates demanded a ransom of twenty talents, Caesar had indignantly claimed that he was worth at least fifty. He had also warned his captors that he would capture and crucify them once he had been released, a promise that he would duly fulfill.
-Nikola Tesla started working in the telephony and electrical fields before emigrating to the United States in 1884 to work for Thomas Edison. Edison, busy with his own emerging ideas, neglected the young Tesla in various aspects. Tesla, worldly talented as well, got noticed and eventually struck out on his own with financial backers, setting up laboratories/companies to develop a range of electrical devices.
-Albert Einstein was born at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, March 14, 1879, in Ulm, which prophetically boasted as its motto, "Ulmenses sunt mathematici," (the people of Ulm are mathematicians"). Ulm had at the time just become a part of the infant German Reich, along with the rest of Swabia. Einstein's parents, Pauline and Hermann, had originally planned to give him the name Abraham, for his paternal grandfather, but they changed their mind, considering their initial choice "too Jewish" and compromised by retaining the initial "A", and naming him Albert.
-Upon Napoleon's return to power in 1815, many states that had opposed him formed the Seventh Coalition and began to mobilize armies. Two large forces under Wellington and Blücher assembled close to the north-eastern border of France. Napoleon chose to attack in the hope of destroying them before they could join in a coordinated invasion of France with other members of the coalition. The decisive engagement of this three-day Waterloo Campaign (16–19 June 1815) occurred at the Battle of Waterloo. According to Wellington, the battle was "the nearest-run thing you ever saw in your life."
Napoleon delayed giving battle until noon on 18th of June to allow the ground to dry. Some speculate because he had constipation. Anyhow, Wellington's army, positioned across the Brussels road on the Mont-Saint-Jean escarpment, withstood repeated attacks by the French, until, in the evening, the Prussians arrived in force and broke through Napoleon's right flank. At that moment, Wellington's Anglo-Allied army counter-attacked and drove the French army in disorder from the field. Pursuing coalition forces entered France and restored King Louis XVIII to the French throne. Napoleon abdicated, surrendered to the British, and was exiled to Saint Helena, where he died in 1821.
-By 1939, J. Edgar Hoover had been director of the FBI for 16 years, a post he would continue to hold for a further 32 years. He provided a dossier to the army that pointed to Einstein's pacifism and socialism as reasons to deny him a security clearance. The conclusion was stark. "In view of his radical background, this office would not recommend the employment of Dr. Einstein on matters of a secret nature. It seems unlikely that a man of his background could, in such a short time, become a loyal American citizen." So it was that the greatest scientific genius in the United States was denied any active knowledge of the country's greatest scientific project.
-The first ever letter sent by airmail was sent in 1785 via hot air balloon by William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin's son.
-In around 1752, French forces were fortifying positions in rivers and forests in modern day Ohio and portions of three neighboring states. The Ohio was central to French claims in North America but the British viewed The Ohio as theirs, an expansion of colonial Virginia. Robert Dinwiddie, Virginia's Governor drafted an Ultimatum demanding that France vacate The Ohio. Someone had to deliver the message to the French outpost 500 miles away. In the Fall of 1753, George Washington volunteered for the assignment.
At the age of 21, Washington felt invincible and was about to take center stage in a grueling showdown between Britain and France. During the mission, an Indian guide turns hostile and shoots at Washington, nearly killing him. Two days later, while crossing the storm swollen Allegheny River on a raft, Washington falls into the frigid water and nearly drowns. He survives but nearly freezes to death. He loses the sense of cockiness and after another two weeks, returns to Williamsburg a changed man.
In 1887, visionary Thomas Edison opened a new laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey. He designed and built the facility himself for the quick and economical development of his inventions.
-Plato became a student of Socrates and focused his attention to the question of what constitutes a virtuous life. Soon after Socrates' death sentence and disillusionment with the behavior of an oligarchy known as the Thirty Tyrants that assumed power in 404 BC, Plato turned to a life of philosophical reflection and writing.
-Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested approximately thirty times during the Civil Rights Movement and assaulted on at least four occasions. His efforts proved immensely influential as the conditions for blacks changed drastically over the following decades. He was awarded five honorary degrees and named Man of The Year by Times Magazine in 1963.
Many people back in ancient times believed that Gods lived all around humans, laughing, walking, talking, and eating just as normal people did. Many cultures believed in a God or Goddess for just about every aspect of human life. It was believed that divinity could be granted to a living being.
-Cicero writes that Julius Caesar received the marks of deification, including the divine marks of his rod, his staff, and his crown, right before his assassination. Some other scholars, are certain that Julius Caesar was only deified after his death. Shortly after his death, a cult based on the life and possible divinity of Julius Caesar came together, remaining popular for many years.
Did you know? In 1903, Dr. H. Nelson Jackson won a $50 bet when he and co-driver Sewall Crocker became the first to cross the U.S. in an automobile. The two-month trip from San Francisco to New York City cost Jackson an estimated $8,000.
In the painting "School of Athens", master artist Raphael portrayed famous thinkers from before his time in all types of poses and gestures. Not knowing what they looked like, he used portraits of himself and his contemporaries to serve the composition. For instance, in the place of Plato, he used Leonardo. Michelangelo is in the background (depicted as Heraclitus) leaning against a block. Not wanting to appear egotistical, Raphael put himself on the right side of the canvas amongst other ancient greats. As time would show us, he fit right in.
-Nikola Tesla was born around midnight, on July 10, 1856 during a fierce lightning storm. According to family legend, midway through the birth, the midwife wrung her hands and declared the lightning a bad omen. This child will be a child of darkness, she said, to which his mother replied: "No. He will be a child of light."
Michelangelo had been born on the sixth of March, 1475, at an hour, he informed his assistants, when Mercury and Venus were in the house of Jupiter. Such a fortunate arrangement of the planets had foretold "success in the arts which delight the senses, such as painting, sculpture and architecture." Michelangelo's
would later win praise for surpassing not only the sculptures of all of Michelangelo's contemporaries but even those of the ancient Greeks and Romans themselves - the standards by which all art was judged.
Salvador Dali would put a tin plate on the floor and then sit by a chair beside it holding a spoon over the plate. The moment he began to doze off the spoon would slip from his fingers and clang on the plate, immediately waking him to capture the surreal dream images.
After the early death of his father, Charlie Chaplin's mother was put in a mental hospital and the young boy and his brother had to try to make a living by themselves.
As both his parents were in show business, Chaplin and his brother decided to follow suit. Today, he's known as one of, if not the greatest actor during the silent film era.
On April 14, 1865, Lincoln signed legislation creating the U.S. Secret Service. That evening, he was shot at Ford's Theatre. Even if the Secret Service had been established earlier, it wouldn't have saved Lincoln: The original mission of the law enforcement agency was to combat widespread currency counterfeiting. It was not until 1901, after the killing of two other presidents, that the Secret Service was formally assigned to protect the commander-in-chief.
In October 1815, Napoleon was exiled to the remote, British-held island of Saint Helena, in the South Atlantic Ocean. He died there on May 5, 1821, at age 51, most likely from stomach cancer. (During his time in power, Napoleon often posed for paintings with his hand in his vest, leading to some speculation after his death that he had been plagued by stomach pain for years.) Napoleon was buried on the island despite his request to be laid to rest "on the banks of the Seine, among the French people I have loved so much." In 1840, his remains were returned to France and entombed in a crypt at Les Invalides in Paris, where other French military leaders are interred.
According to Greek history, the first marathon commemorated the run of a soldier named Pheidippides from a battlefield near the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C. According to legend, Pheidippides ran approximately 26.2 miles to announce the defeat of the Persians to some anxious Athenians. Due to pushing and exceeding his bodies limit, he delivered the message "Niki!" (Victory!) then keeled over and died.
The trial and execution of Socrates took place in 399 BC. Socrates was tried on two charges: corrupting the youth and impiety. More specifically, Socrates' accusers cited two "impious" acts: "failing to acknowledge the gods that the city acknowledges" and "introducing new deities".
Henry David Thoreau went to Walden Pond and lived in the woods for 2 years. Besides having a quieter place to live, think and write, Thoreau remarked "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Andrew Carnegie had started cultivating his interests in books, music, the fine arts, learning, and technical education early in life. He began to set up trust funds "for the improvement of mankind." The first were for "free public libraries"; some 3,000 were scattered over the English-speaking world. In 1895 the magnificent Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh was opened, housing an art gallery, a natural history museum (which also financed archeological expeditions), and a music hall. Originally under the institute was a group of technical schools which blossomed into the Carnegie Institute of Technology, today the basis of the Carnegie Mellon University. The Carnegie Institution of Washington was set up to encourage pure research in the natural and physical sciences. He built Carnegie Hall in New York City. The Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was created to provide pensions for university professors. Carnegie established the Endowment for International Peace to seek the abolition of war.
In all, Carnegie's benefactions totaled $350 million, $288 million going to the United States and $62 million to Britain and the British Empire. The continuation of his broad interests was put under the general charge of the Carnegie Corporation, with an endowment of $125 million. Carnegie died on Aug. 11, 1919, at his summer home near Lenox, Mass.
On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth crept into the presidential box at Ford's Theater, shot Lincoln in the head, and then leapt from the balcony and into one of the most dramatic manhunts in American history. But Booth was just one of the prowlers in Washington on that bloody night. In Lafayette Park, Lewis Powell forced his way into Secretary of State William Seward's bedroom and stabbed him repeatedly with a knife. At the Kirkwood Hotel, George Atzerodt was overpowered by fear before he could make his planned attack on Vice President Andrew Johnson. The men sought to reinvigorate the Southern cause but within two months they would all be dead, shot or hanged, along with co-conspirators Mary Surratt and David Herold. Seward survived Powell's assault, but Lincoln died the next day. At his deathbed, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton offered an epitaph: "Now he belongs to the ages."
When Henry Ford was a young man, he repaired watches for his friends and family - and he made his own tools to do it. He used a filed shingle nail as a screwdriver and a corset stay as tweezers
Ford became Chief Engineer of the Edison Illuminating Company's main plant in 1893, and was on-call 24 hours a day to keep Detroit's electricity running. He left the position 6 years later - with Edison's encouragement to work on his plans for a gasoline automobile.
To understand character and it's relationship to leadership, let's first understand character's root, which comes
from a
Greek word
", a chisel or marking instrument for meta
l or stone. Our character, then, is our mark engraved into something enduring. We can mold mannerisms, but we must chisel our character. Of course, we don't carry around a stone or a sheet of metal marked with our "character'. The enduring thing is the aggregate of the traits and features that form our apparent individual nature."
-George Washington was a dog lover. He kept and bred many hunting hounds. He is known as the "Father of the American Foxhound," and kept more than 30 of the dogs. According to his journals, three of the hounds' names were Drunkard, Tipler, and Tipsy.
Unlike other well-known Renaissance artists, Leonardo da Vinci never received any kind of formal education. He did, however, receive instruction at home in subjects such as reading, writing and mathematics.
Growing up in rural Tuscany, da Vinci spent much of his time outdoors, where he marveled at the natural world. His journals indicate that he had an especially ardent interest in the properties of water, as well as the movements of birds of prey. In fact, the artist recorded that his earliest memory was of a dream in which a bird of prey landed on his face and pushed its tail feathers between his lips.
It wasn't until his teenage years that the budding artist was sent to Florence to serve as an apprentice for Andrea del Verrocchio, a prominent Florentine painter. And it didn't take long for the student to become the master. Rumor has it that after da Vinci painted one of the angels in Verrocchio's work "The Baptism of Christ," the much more experienced artist was so humbled by the young man's talent that he vowed never to paint again.
During his college years, Isaac Newton was more interested in the concepts of modern astronomers and thinkers such as Kepler, Galileo and Copernicus than what was taught in the college's curriculum, The college's teachings were mainly based on Aristotle's ideas and teachings.
A true love story. Napoleon Bonaparte began to pursue a woman by the name of Rose. Since he didn't like her name, he told her he would call her Josephine. He pursued and pursued and Josephine kept humoring him. Finally, Barras strongly advised her to marry Napoleon. She said she would not. Then Barras told her that he had a new mistress, that he couldn't afford to maintain them both, that she was very expensive to maintain, and that if she didn't marry Napoleon he would stop providing for her and she would, in effect, be thrown out on the street. This was the one thing that Josephine couldn't bear. She was a compulsive spender and loved to travel. Another concern was her two children, Eugene and Hortense. Therefore, she gave in and agreed to marry Napoleon.

Union Y Amistad Group
Update on Union Y Amistad GroupDoña Ofelia is part of the "Unión y Amistad" [Togetherness and Friendship] Group. It's a group located at the border of the Mexican states of Michoacán and México. It is a heavily vegetated indigenous Mazahua region where the people care for and protect the forests from gangs of illegal loggers.
Doña Ofelia has had a school cooperative in her community's secondary school for five years. She says that she likes her work very much because she takes care of the meals for the kids in the school. She says that every day she makes them different types of stews and that one of her daughters helps her make the meals for both the students and the teachers. She also sells fried foods, cold drinks, flavored waters, and snacks, which she buys in the town of Zitacuaro, where she can buy them more cheaply; various soft-drink distributors deliver to her town.
Now Ofelia is requesting a loan for the purchase of ingredients that she uses to make meals, as well as fruit, since she also sells nutritious breakfasts like fruit with granola and yogurt. She also wants to buy new plates so she can better present the food that she sells. She says, smiling, "the satisfaction I have in selling food is that the kids seek me out so I can give them a nutritious lunch, and that fills me with pride because there are people who come to sell junk food, but they are loyal to me."
Ofelia says that her dream is to remodel her business and install larger benches to give better service to the kids at the secondary school. The other members of the group are named Lidia, Marisol, Fabián, Gilberta, Sandra, and Juan Carlos. They will invest their loans in the following: the purchase of sheep and feed for raising them for sale; the purchase of women's and children's clothing to sell; the purchase of seasonal fruits and vegetables; and the purchase of nutritional supplements to sell.
Previous Loan DetailsGilberta is 54 years old and is a hard-working woman. Her job is very unusual, as she has been a midwife for more than 18 years. She says that she learned on her own and little by little perfected her techniques. She is recognized by Mexico's social welfare institute, which has given training to ...

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Descartes' works include "Musicae Compendium," "The World," "Man," "Dioptrics," "The Meteors," "Geometry," "Discourse on the Method," "The Meditations," "Principles of Philosophy," "The Search for Truth," "The Description of the Human Body" and "Passions of the Soul." Some were published posthumously as were some essays and letters that were lesser known.Know More
Descartes was a French scholar, mathematician and philosopher who lived from 1596 to 1650. He is credited as the father of modern Western philosophy, analytic geometry and the Cartesian coordinate system (named for the Latin translation of Descartes' name). He also played a key role in the scientific revolution of Europe that subsequently lead to the social movement of the Enlightenment era.
The quote "I think therefore I am," remains the hallmark of Descartes' philosophy. It appeared for the first time in "Discourse on the Method," but was also referenced in later works. Descartes posited that because man can err in reasoning or be mislead by his senses, he must strip away all he believed was real and view it as merely an illusion. Inferring, however, that there is a being, a man who is capable of perceiving or pondering himself and his environment at all was undeniable proof that he, at the very least, existed. This proof became a pillar for many of Descartes' later arguments.Learn more about Philosophy
French philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes is behind many important concepts, from the Cartesian plane in mathematics to the "I think, therefore I am" philosophy. Descartes was born to humble beginnings, but he managed to become an important thinker and notable person.Full Answer >
Descartes' theory of knowledge is that it is a conviction based on reason that is so strong that no feeling of doubt can change it. Descartes' epistemology is largely described in terms of being the contrast of doubt, according to Stanford University.Full Answer >
Rene Descartes established a modern system of geometry, which described moving matter, and he set forth novel ideas in the field of philosophy. Descartes, born in 1596, earned the nickname "Father of Modern Philosophy," according to authors at Nebraska-Wesleyan University. He broke philosophical ground by discrediting former Aristotelian theories that the foundation for philosophy lay in emotion; rather than senses, Descartes asserted, philosophical explanations were based on science.Full Answer >
According to Wichita State University, Rene Descartes invented the Cartesian Plane, which is a theory of using ordered pairs to determine a specific point. This theory, explained in "La Geometrie," led to the invention of analytical geometry in which algebra is applied to geometry.Full Answer >

How can someone be great if he wasn't even champion? Some will say that he would've been champion if Ali/Frazier weren't around, but why? He basically went even with an over-the-hill Patterson, who is widely regarded as one of the weakest (lineal) champions ever. This is not even considering losses to Ellis and Chuvalo. He's an excellent contender, but I wouldn't call him first-tier or great.
Norton has a better case as he at least beat first-tier opposition. Still, other than Ali his resume isn't all that either. He's got a razor thin win over Young, beat an older Quarry, other than that...? Olympian Bobick? This is weighed against devastating knockout losses.
They did fight in the most popular era of heavyweights, against even more popular names.
Yeah I suppose you're right. Greatness is getting a tad carried away when describing Jerry Quarry I'll admit. but like you said, he was an "excellent" contender. I'll stick with that.

Update Notes
Updated on: 03/18/2015
Update Notes
Updated on: 03/18/2015
Since we last visited BisexualGF...
The "bisexual" in Bisexual GF implies that the girls on the site are sexually attracted to both men and women. However, you're going to have to take their word for it when it comes to them liking dudes, because these chicks only fuck other chicks.
Most of these hot lesbian movies are one-on-one, but there are some scenes that bring together three or more hotties for some kissing, fingering, cunnilingus and dildo-wielding sex. Each scene is represented by a thumbnail and when you combine that with the scene's title you can get a basic idea of what you're going to see. Strapon sex, ebony threesomes, Asian chicks with sexy feet and huge hooters are all part of the package.
A membership includes 48 videos to stream and download in good-quality MP4s. There's also a lower-quality MP4 option. After clicking each of the thumbnails for the scene (there's no labeling to tell you which ones), you'll discover 20 sets of high-res pictures, while the rest of the scenes offer only vid caps. The galleries aren't overly big, but they can all be downloaded in Zip files.
You can't post comments or save scenes to a favorites section, but you can leave a rating. When it comes to updates, looking at the dates on the material, I'm sad to report that nothing new has been added in over nine months. This is made even more disappointing by the fact that nothing is exclusive. I mean, how hard is it to find lesbian scenes, right?
Near the top of the page, just below the menu bar, is a "select a site" drop-down menu. This is where you can access all the sites that make up the All Sex Pass network, which you get full access to. Destroyed GF, Ex Ghetto GF and Next Door Mommies are just three of the five sites that you can look forward to.
In the end, Bisexual GF probably won't hold your attention for too long. Still, even though the lesbian niche is so well represented on the Web already, this collection could offer enough content at this point to make joining worth your while.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I'm at SXSW and I just watched Derek Sivers give his presentation – The Tao of the Conference – where he dished out some of his best advice on how to be effective at SXSW.
He did this wiki style and included wonderful short clips from industry leaders including Tim Ferriss, from The Four Hour Workweek @tferriss, voice teacher Wendy Parr @Wendyparr, and Greg Rollet from Gen Y Rockstars @g_rois. It was inspiring as only Derek can be. Part of his talk focused on the very basic principle of "Persistence is Polite!"
