"Baghdad - Dar El Salam" Top 5 Page for this destination Baghdad by OMR
Baghdad Travel Guide: 116 reviews and 316 photos
Capital of Iraq with 5 millions inhabitants, situated in the interior of the country on the river Tigris at the point where land transportation meets river transportation.
Baghdad is a real city, not just a large town, and its lights are still twinkling in the river at half past one in the morning. It is the river that 'makes' Baghdad. The Tigris, brown and swift, is the heart and soul of the City of the Caliphs.
For- one might as well declare it at once- Baghdad is not a city of stately majesty. It is not ornate and grand. It is, so to speak, a water color, not an oil painting. It is flat and dusty - indeed, from time to time it is enveloped in maddening storms that fling dust into your room, your car, food, eyes, ears, mouth. Baghdad has muted values.
It is an ancient city struggling awkwardly to be modern. If it lacks glamour, it has considerable charm. And if even the charm must be delved for, to me such delving seems worthwhile because, more than many cities, Baghdad reflects the most unusual, country that frames it. Iraq, after all, is the old, old Mesopotamia of Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, of the glorious sun-burst of the Abbasid Empire of Harun al Rashid, of Persian intrusions, and the affliction of four hundred dead years of Turkish rule. In other words, Baghdad is the still-beating heart of a former cradle of civilization, a country as historically dramatic as Ancient Greece or the Nile Valley.
Baghdad was the center of the Muslim world during the years while the Caliphate stayed in Baghdad, starting in the 760s (Baghdad was started being constructed in 763) running up to 1258.
It was destroyed by the advancing Mongols in 1258.
Baghdad was made capital of Iraq in 1921, from when it started to grow again.

Employment Background Check
Our field-tested solutions are designed to assist you with employee background checks, background check guidelines and pre-employment screening.
You'll also gain a full understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to guarantee you're in compliance with every facet of employment background checks
If you can't explain how you select candidates or why you hired one applicant instead of another, get ready for court! However, there's a simple, two-step way to keep from being sued: 1. Create a hiring process that makes sense. 2. Follow it rigorously.
You know you have an obligation to eliminate discrimination, harassment and retaliation. You know you have to make sure employees don't harass co-workers or subordinates, or harm customers and others. On the other hand, you know applicants and employees have a right to privacy that is protected by state and federal laws. It's a balancing act: Just how do you protect workers on the one hand, while respecting their privacy on the other?

BOY HOWDY did it ever.
I haven't used any of the other features yet but the migration/clone tool....after a hiccup or two on my part (password wasn't entered correctly) it was literally a one click effort.
All my tables,posts, and most importantly ALL MY CONTENT TOO!
SO easy.
and it was all in a free trial mode!
Definitely going to pay a month if I need to just so I can poke around with the other features.

I have an IBM x3550 server. The RAID controller that comes along is an LSI Megaraid and does not get recognized by Ubuntu boot up CD. I am looking for an alternate RAID card, which works for 10.04 PCI Express
suggest me a good RAID card each for SATA and SAS for Ubuntu 10.04, which will get recognized easily?
How about trying the latest daily build before replacing the card? The bug [Bug #546091] looks to have been resolved in 10.04.1.
How about THIS Adaptec 5805; does SAS/SATA, PCI-e and appears to be fine for 10.04.

Cabaret Star Carol O'Shaughnessy Presents Lucky To Be Me 69th Birthday Bash!
Celebration is at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston Tuesday, November 22nd at 8 PM
"Lucky To Be Me" is the title of a song by Leonard Bernstein from the musical comedy show On the Town written in 1944 and later released as a film that featured Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in 1949. Carol plans to open her show with this tune which has been performed by singers like Tony Bennett, Blossom Dearie, Abbey Lincoln, Wesla Whitfield, John Pizzarelli and many others.
"All I care about is laughing and enjoying my life," says Carol. The tune "Lucky To Be Me" seems almost "Buddhist!"
A zany comedienne, Carol also plans to spice up her show with the ever hilarious "Mama Scugliachi."
Born on the night of the Coconut Grove Fire while her mother went into labor at the Judy Garland movie, State Fair, it seems like Carol was born to sing! Dubbed "Boston's First Lady of Cabaret," O'Shaughnessy earned the city's Cabaret Entertainer of the Year" through her highly praised appearances in premier venues such as New York City's Town Hall and Boston concert halls and hot spots such as Jordan Hall, the Regattabar, The Copley Plaza, The Theater Lobby and Scullers Jazz Club. Her one-woman shows entitled "Stuff In The Box . . . Provincetown, The Early Years" and "Ring-a-Ding-
O'Shaughnessy has received critical acclaim for her other rousing one-woman shows entitled A Talent To Amuse: The Music of Judy Garland and Just For Laughs. Working in one-woman vignettes such as her now famous "Mamma Scugliachi,"
In 2007, Carol was the opening act for Herb Reed and the Platters as well as legendary comedian, Pat Cooper. Carol has also appeared on Chronicle as part of their "My Boston" show as well as Sunday with Liz Walker on WBZ-TV. She has been a regularly featured guest of WBZ-Radio 1030 host, Jordan Rich for several years.
As a member of Actor's Equity New England, Carol has played "Matron Mama Morton" in the Worcester Foothills Theatre productions of Chicago, directed by Susan Streeter. She has also played Fraulein Schneider in Cabaret and Bloody Mary in South Pacific, but she is probably best known locally for her portrayal of "Reverend Mother" in numerous productions of Nunsense. She has also not only performed alongside comedienne Joan Rivers but opened for comic David Brenner as well. These roles and appearances demonstrate the comedic sense and theatrical depth focused within her performances. It has been said that Ms. "O" is in fact, "a delightful mixture of Ethel Merman and Bette Midler, with a dash of Donna Reed!"
Carol has traveled the world as a highly in-demand cruise ship entertainer as well. In fact, she has performed on more than 35 cruises--heading to many ports in the Caribbean, to New Orleans and Key West, to various points in South America, to Alaska, to Florence, Rome, Monaco, Athens, Israel, Istanbul, Nice and an assortment of other Mediterranean destinations. In 2006, Carol headlined a cruise that went to the exotic and historic cities of Budapest, Vienna and Prague. Carol's remarkable "life on a boat" has given her the amazing opportunity of singing "New York, New York" and "Let Me Entertain You" . . . in, of all places, the Holy Land! As well, she has had the unforgettable and more reverent experience of singing "Ave Maria" in the ancient temple at Ephesus, where Carol is quick to note that the acoustics in that remarkable setting are absolutely pristine.
O'Shaughnessy has three CDs, The Way I See It, Live At Scullers and Ring-A-Ding-
"Carol has an innate ability to deliver a song with the best of them. Carol, you're just too marvelous for words!" says radio personality Ron Della Chiesa.

Tucker manages the Biosecurity Education Project at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). Trained in biology and security studies, he is an expert on biological and chemical arms control, bioterrorism, and emerging biological threats. Prior to his position at FAS, he was the founding director of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS). Before joining CNS in 1996, Tucker worked for the congressional Office of Technology Assessment and the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency; in February 1995, he was a UN biological weapons inspector in Iraq. He has written or edited four books on biological and chemical weapons, including War of Nerves: Chemical Warfare from World War I to Al Qaeda.
When Albert Einstein developed his theory of relativity, he made extensive use of "thought experiments" -- hypothetical exercises that, while impossible to carry out in real life, are useful for testing complex theories. In one well-known case, he compared the passage of time on a train traveling at close to the speed of light with that of a stationary observer in order to elucidate a concept known as the "relativity of simultaneity."
One of the many arms-control challenges facing the Obama administration is to revitalize the sagging effort to destroy the vast U.S. stockpile of chemical weapons left over from the Cold War. A new U.S. Army report, to be released in May along with the Pentagon's 2010 budget request, will likely conclude that without additional funding, the elimination of these obsolete and dangerous weapons could drag on for another 15 years.
Given the rapid increase in the number of laboratories around the world that do research on diseases of bioterrorism concern, such as anthrax and plague, and emerging infections, such as SARS and avian influenza, there is an urgent need to prevent pathogenic microbes from escaping accidentally from a lab or being stolen by terrorists and criminals. With a few exceptions, dangerous bacteria and viruses can be isolated from nature, but different strains tend to vary widely in virulence, or the ability to cause illness and death.
Scientists are developing new substances at the cross section of biology and chemistry--such as peptide bioregulators--that could be used to incapacitate and kill.

From high grassy meadows at 8,100 feet to soaring
granite cliffs over 10,000 feet, Staunton State Park's varied geology, soils,
water features, and climate support rare and unexpected plant communities and a
rich diversity of wildlife and provide a myriad of outdoor
recreation opportunities.
Colorado's newest state park opened to the public on May 18, 2013.
The park is located approximately 40 miles southwest of downtown Denver, north
of US Highway 285 and about six miles west of Conifer. The Park sits divided
between Park and Jefferson counties, in Pine, Colorado.
The first
1,720-acre parcel of land was donated to then Colorado State Parks in 1986 by Frances
Hornbrook Staunton. Subsequent parcels of land were added over the years to make
up the now 3,828 acre park. Read more about the story of Staunton State Park at
our history
Staunton State Park is the legacy of Frances H. Staunton. As
her beneficiaries, present and future generations are entrusted with this
land--to enjoy, protect and treasure as she did.
We are currently operating on summer hours 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Construction is underway. Please excuse our dust!!!
Our entrance station has moved up the road. It is beyond the entrance in to the parking lot so please approach the building prior to parking in the main lot.
The entrance station is typically staffed from 8am - 5pm. A state park pass is required on all vehicles entering the park. The daily fee is $7.00. Please plan ahead and bring exact change to purchase your pass at our self serve station if the entrance station is unattended.
Mason creek parking lot has been restriped to accommodate equestrians. We ask that all equestrian visitors please park in either the Mason Creek lot or the Main lot near the entrance building until further notice.
Repairs to the lower dam have been completed and water levels are at peak. Fish that survived the winter and the low water are active and we will be stocking with new fish soon.

AeroScout, a well-known player in the Wi-Fi location market, focuses less on pinpoint accuracy, more on integrating with Wi-Fi networks to provide ubiquitous visibility into the whereabouts of assets and people. It has arguably the most comprehensive set of hardware and software products of any location vendor, offering tags in multiple form factors as well as chokepoints for sending alerts and a locationing engine that can process location from its tags based on TDOA (time difference of arrival) in addition to RSSI (received signal strength indication).
AeroScout's tags, which it developed in-house, differ from those of its main competitor. Rather than have a tag take readings, associate with an access point, and then communicate with a location engine, AeroScout's tags regularly "chirp" or "beacon" a 416-bit 802.11 frame. This approach reduces tag/access point interaction to a simple unidirectional packet. No state for the access point to maintain and no IP address required--and less radio time means longer battery life.
On the other hand, the Wi-Fi infrastructure needs to be able to listen for and interpret this packet, despite the lack of association, and send it on to the locationing engine. This requires enterprise Wi-Fi gear vendors to buy into the concept and add support for AeroScout's message. Fortunately, according to AeroScout, more than 95% of enterprise access points support its tags today. For Cisco Systems Lightweight Access Point Protocol, or LWAPP, environments, location information is sent to the Cisco Location Appliance and Wireless Control System rather than AeroScout's engine.
Another caveat is that tag messages can be cloned. Because there's no authentication or two-way verification, once tag communication is captured, it can be played back on any device. AeroScout says its engine can filter fake messages and toss erroneous readings.
Tags are available with a variety of mounting options in multiple form factors, from ruggedized packages to small portable units and personnel badges. In AeroScout's T3 model, motion sensors conserve battery life when the asset is stationary. Optional temperature sensors can help ensure that sensitive items are within the proper environment. Two call buttons are standard on the T3 model. The replaceable battery operates up to four years, and available extended batteries may last as long as eight years. AeroScout's T3 tag also includes infrared support for over-the-air firmware upgrades. Tags can be set to turn themselves on or off as they go through chokepoints, as when an employee is leaving the building, or to sense if an expensive item walks out the door.
Completing the picture is AeroScout's engine, which receives location reports and calculates the positions of tags. AeroScout's own algorithms use RSSI, a value appended by the access point or WLAN controller to the tag's beacon, to calculate location. Data on the tag's previous position, the AP's location, and fingerprinting helps tighten accuracy to perhaps 3 meters, depending on environment and the location and density of APs. We don't see scalability as a concern. A single engine can handle 500 location reports per second, and multiple engines can feed into one MobileView server, described later.
AeroScout is a key Cisco partner, unlike its main competitor, Ekahau. AeroScout's Web-based MobileView shares with Cisco's Location Appliance and Wireless Control System a common set of management information, including site maps. Cisco often bundles its location appliance into larger enterprise WLAN deals but doesn't make tags itself. AeroScout's tags have passed Cisco's CCX certification program for Wi-Fi tags.

Photographic Archeology
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy, Photography on May 5, 2016
As a child I wanted to be an archeologist. At some point I changed my mind and decided that becoming an artist of some sort was more in line with what I really wanted to do for a living. I think it had to do with there being a lot less science, math and dirt involved.
Instead in my spare time I do genealogical archeology. Since inheriting my great-great grandmother, Mary Zuver West's glass negatives, I have been doing a lot more digging around for clues to who the people in her photographs were. From my grandfather, Chester West's photographs I can accurately determine his siblings in photos and his parents. Every one else is taking more time to determine.
The family would vacation at a camp at Chautauqua Lake during the summer. Here they would boat, relax and enjoy each others company.
I have been trying to determine who the other members of the family are in this photo. Using images from family trees on ancestry, I have come up with a few guesses on some of the people in this photograph.
This is an image of Leander L Zuver, also known as Dick. He was a younger brother to my great-great grandmother and was a photographer in western Pennsylvania. Early in his career he worked for my great-great grandmother and her husband Jacob. I am pretty sure I have him identified correctly in the photograph.
Leander's wife was Agnes Braniff. This is a photo of Agnes from an ancestry tree. An educated guess would say she would be in this family photo. I am guess that I may have her identified correctly.
This is a photo of Nellie C Ives Zuver. Her husband was Thomas Wellington Zuver. I am pretty sure that Thomas is in this photo also.
This is photo of Vern Leslie Zuver. Son of Thomas Wellington Zuver and Nellie C Ives Zuver. If father and son resembled each other I am pretty sure that I have Thomas correctly identified in the photograph above. Thomas would have been about 47 years old in the photo above.
George Quincy and Lewis Wilbert are guess by the look of their age. Hopefully someone has photos that can be compared!
Her Question, My Discovery
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy, Hobbies on April 6, 2016
It seemed like a simple enough question, how was I related to the McKims in Mercer, Pennsylvania? The question came through ancestry.com and I try to answer as many as possible. I sent back information about my third great grandfather, William R McKim that had died in the Civil War.
There were a lot of things about this man that I knew and could confirm. He had been in the war and died in Virginia. He married my third great grandmother that was a Kilgore, in Oberlin, Ohio. That both of them had been going to Oberlin College at the time of their marriage. And that he had artistic skills, from the drawings that he had signed and left in the family bible. I knew his wife had died a couple of years before he did. And I knew my orphaned great-great grandmother was raised by her mother's family.
I couldn't confirm that his father was John "Adam" McKim and his mother Henrietta or Harriet. Logic placed him in the family from location, and his birth year. Nothing else solidly placed him, and what I determined to be his younger sister, in the family of 5 other children living in Mercer.
That was until the email conversation with my now new cousin. As we traded communications, she wrote that William was mentioned in his grandfather, George Rung's will. George Rung lived in Petersburg, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and was a tanner and a county Burgess. Not only did this confirm William's name but corrected the maiden name that I had for his mother.
William's mother was Harriet Rung, not Nelson as I had thought. She and her husband, John McKim, are mentioned in George Rung's will. All six of his living children were included in his will, but only four of his grandchildren received notice.
His daughter Henrietta's first born child, William Rung McKim seemed to be a major focus of his attention. Aside from the one thousand dollars that he would get at the age of 21, he would also be clothed until the age of 16 and schooled for 18 months. He was to be trained in a trade until he turned 16 or he would only receive eight hundred dollars at 21. Henrietta, William's sister, would also receive one thousand dollars when she reached the age of 21.
George Rung would leave one thousand dollars to his grandson Lewis G Mytinger and five hundred to his oldest grandson John Farringer Rung when they both reached the age of 21. He didn't show the same concern for these grandsons' continuing education and training as he did with William.
William would attend Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio in 1853, at the age of 21. While in Oberlin he would marry Sydney Isabella McKim, who was also attending college at Oberlin. Their only child, Lilly, would be born shortly before their first anniversary.
Lilly would be left an orphan by the time she turned 7. Her mother would pass when she was three from illness and she would go to live with her maternal grandparents. Her father would die in the Civil war just 4 short years later.
West Studio, 66 Main Street
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy on December 20, 2015
My great-great grandmother's glass negatives have pushed me to do more in depth searching on her life. I have tried over the past several years to determine where the West Photography studio at 66 Main Street and the last studio, Mrs. West's, on Congress Street in Bradford were located. Over the years the streets in Bradford were renumbered making it more difficult to pinpoint.
In my hunt for information I found a couple of articles using Newspaperarchives.com on fires that were on Main Street in the late 1800s. The Baker-Whitehead building would catch fire for the first time in February of 1896 where the West studio was located. The fire damaged the West studio and when the studio was reopened, Mary West would be in charge. Mr. Whitehead was in favor of erecting a brick building but was waiting on consent from the Baker heirs to start construction. From what was to happen just a few months later, I don't think the building was repaired with brick.
The second article, from the fire that would happen in June, detailed which shops burned and in what order they caught fire. According to the article in June 1896, the Bay State Hotel, 72 and 74 Main, next to the Zook building started burning. From all accounts the fire had started in the Zook building, 70 Main Street. The West studio was located at 66 Main Street, in the Baker-Whitehead Building, on the west side of the Zook building. The fire was so hot that buildings across the street started to smoke and residents helped wet the fronts of the buildings down to keep them from catching fire. From the Bay State hotel east, Nick Asselto's Little Casino cigar store, then McCourt's restaurant were also consumed and the Tammaro building gutted. The fire spread in both directions, consuming 68 Main Street and then burning through the West Studio, on the third floor, at 66 Main. The Sondheim building, 62 and 64 Main, on the west side of the Baker-Whitehead building, crashed to the ground destroyed.
I had purchased a book about Main Street's buildings from the Bradford Landmark Society and searched through it for clues from the story that could tie to the articles on the buildings. There was an article about the Baker building, which use to be the location of J. R. Evans men's clothing store, and it mentioned that it was next to what was the Bay State Hotel. Current residents can still see the Bay State name on the top of the old hotel building which has housed many different stores in the first floor, including Fannin's bridal shop where I had worked years ago.
Penn State University Library has a collection of searchable maps that include fire risk assessment maps that show the location of buildings and the street addresses. Some of the maps note the type of businesses that were located in each of the buildings. I can tell from those maps the exact location of 66 Main street and can even see the note for the building having 3 stories and a photo studio in the building. In 1896 there were 7 store fronts in what now has three buildings that would only encompass the width of 6 store fronts. The Zook building is long gone, squeezed out between the Baker building and the Bay State Hotel.
Grandmother West moved the business to Congress Street following the second fire. From newspaper accounts there were legal issues with starting the rebuild of the Baker-Whitehead building that caused a delay of several months. From other maps on the PSU site I can determine where she would conduct business until retiring.
The 115 Year Old Collaboration
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy, Photography on September 28, 2015
I wonder what my great-great grandmother would think about, had she known 115 years ago, that her great-great granddaughter would one day be carefully scanning her glass negatives on to her computer. We take pictures, share them with friends and relatives and usually give very little thought to generations in the future rummaging through stacks of unmarked photos, trying to learn a bit more about us and our daily life.
I have learned a lot about her, a glimpse into her personality and snapshots into the way she lived. Without a doubt, her skill and eye for photography comes through in the shots I assume she took for her own pleasure and experimentation. She loved light and texture and traveled by train to many locations to take landscape photos that pull you into the image. She was known in town as an experienced photographer of women and children. She adored her son, his wife and her grandchildren and their images show in many of the existing glass negatives.
I enjoy those negatives she might have thrown out, one showed her slender fingers imprinted on the negative, making me wonder if she caught the negative before it had slipped to the ground and broke. Others show her shadow, boater hat firmly planted on her head, which she would have cropped out when printing. You get a quick glimpse of her in another negative, her tall thin reflection appearing in the window behind her grandson.
To get the images scanned onto my computer would require the purchase of a professional scanner and hours of careful scanning. Internet research turned up a supplier for archival negative holders and boxes. Adobe Bridge let me catalogue the negatives for research and grouping. Each bit of research gave a sharper picture of this creative multi-faceted lady and the locations around where I grew up.
After scanning and cataloguing slides I determined that I wanted to frame one for the house. The hard part was then to decide which one. I played with multiple images, cropping and sizing and purchased a wide format photo printer to see the results of the collaboration. The detail from the small 4 by 4 inch glass negative surprised me, and it held up when enlarged to images over 13 by 22 inches.
I chose a photo of the Olean, New York boat launch taken around 1900. The water on the river was so still that it perfectly reflected all that surrounded its banks. Mounted and framed it now hangs where it can be enjoyed by the next generation, a 115 year old collaboration of two related artistic personalities. Priceless.
The Daily Dig
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy, Photography on July 3, 2015
When I was little I thought that being an archaeologist would be a really neat thing to do. Then I learned about how much math and science was needed and being hot, dirty, frustrated and tired and decided maybe archaeology wasn't for me. What I didn't realize then was how many different ways there were to do historical research.
Now that I am older and completely fascinated with genealogy, I am feeding that enthusiastic archaeologist child in me with digging in my families' historical dirt. I have been scanning glass slides that my great great photographer grandmother, Mrs. West, took, digging for clues to her life in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She adored her grandchildren, especially the ones that lived locally, which is evident in the number and creativity of the slides including them.
One photo stood out to me, begging for location identification. There were the grandchildren, playing in the front yard of a house, in what I was guessing was Bradford, Pennsylvania.
I looked up the address of the children's mother and entered it into Google earth. From the street view, I located the address and looked across the street to see if the houses matched the ones in the photograph. I had found the location, even though a couple of the houses had been torn down and a street inserted, three of the five houses still stood in the same place.
I spun the Google street view around to see where the children would have been standing. With my mother's memory of her grandmother's house, we had the location. Even the electric pole was still in the same spot as it was in 1907, 108 years ago. From Mom's memory, even the yellow paint on the enclosed sun porch has never been changed through all of the owners of the house. The sidewalk has been changed from wood to concrete and a railing added to the steps to the street.
She must have taken the photo from the enclosed sun porch of her daughter-in-laws house from the angle of the photograph, I can't match the buildings exactly using the Google earth image..
Mount Alton School, 1912, Lafayette, Pennsylvania
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy, Photography on February 24, 2015
Documents and photos scatter repeatedly with the death of each generation. What was once a treasured bit of history becomes an unknown piece of historical data tossed in the bottom of a drawer, eventually to be thrown away in a housecleaning.
I remember it being suggested that I write the names of classmates down on the back of school photos. I also remember thinking, why that was necessary, I know who they are and could name them all off. Looking back now, 45 years later, no one seems to remember who that one little blonde in the photo was or that shy looking kid in the back.
I have been gathering information for a family book on my Van Houtte ancestors. I asked my cousins if they had any photos that I could include in the book. One cousin shared with me a photo of the Mt. Alton School children in 1912. The Mt. Alton School was located in Lafayette, Pennsylvania, an area now that is dominated by the Bradford Regional Airport. Property that my great grandfather owned is now a part of the airport property. My grandfather, great uncle and great aunt are in the photo, along with 30 other nameless children.
I am pretty sure among those children are the children of Peter DePrater. Peter was my great grandfather's sponsor. The DePraters were from Belgium and had lived in Tourcoing, France, where my great grandmother's family also had lived. Immigrants had to have someone state side that would be responsible for them and their integration into America. Peter and his wife Adele had been living in Pennsylvania for almost 15 years before my great grandfather and his family decided to try their luck in the United States. Peter and Adele would have 11 children, 8 of which were born in New York or Pennsylvania.
Of the 11 children, there is a great possibility that five of the DePrater children could be in this picture. Mary Margaret, 14 years old, Victor, 12 years old, Madeline, 10 years old, Fanny, 8 years old and Anna at 5 years.

House History
Posted by catrackgraphics in Genealogy on January 28, 2015
I remember my grandparent's house well. It is one of those memories that conjures up both sight and smells. I can see it as if I had visited just yesterday instead of the 30 plus years it has been. It was a long, narrow, white clapboard building, wedged between two others, situated just outside of what once was a bustling downtown. When my dad was growing up, it was on the wrong side of town.
There was a big front porch that spanned the entire front and sagged this way and that. The front door was planted in the middle and a window flagged each side. We never went in the front door, we were family and that meant you used the back door that opened into a warm kitchen full of grandma's cooking smells. Getting to the door could be an experience to be remembered. Reaching out I could touch grandma's house on one side and the neighboring building on the other, which was good because in the winter time, the drainage from the roof would create a dangerous ice slick from the front to the back of the house.
Once safely inside the back door, you walked directly into the kitchen. The stove was to your left and a pantry area with the fridge and mobile electric ringer washer was to your right. A small kitchen table was directly in front and the houses only bathroom door just the other side of it. The floor and walls seemed to pitch and roll throughout the house and dad and the uncles had been known to crawl under the foundation and prop it back up on more than one occasion.
The dining room was the next stop on your way back through the house to the front, the stairway to the bedrooms was back against the wall we used to keep from sliding when making our way down the walk outside. Under normal circumstances, the room was full of furniture, a table and 6 chairs sat in the middle, a desk for paying bills to the right of the door and a large buffet across the wall adjoining. As if that wasn't enough, a china cabinet sat wedged in against the far wall that you had to squeeze past to get into the closet under the stairs. At holidays the dining room was impassible, the aunts and uncles all sitting at the table, the noise at a level I haven't heard in years. For a young person to get from the kitchen to the living room on the far side meant, squishing, squeezing and dodging past chairs and legs of relatives in the way.
The living room was small, a couch and a couple of chairs, one of them grandpa's rocker that he use to sit and smoke his pipe in, along with the TV. Somehow they found space to stuff a Christmas tree in the corner for the holidays and there was always a table full of Easter or Mother's day flowers positioned in front of the window during those holidays. Upstairs there were two bedrooms in the front, barely big enough for the double beds pushed in them, one bedroom in the hall that was Uncle George's and always had a stack of unopened Christmas boxes full of new shirts. Farther down the hall was another bedroom, a curtain hung in the doorway keeping the heat out and the floor took another drastic dip heading to the back of the house.
What I would learn as an adult was that the house had been owned by my great grandmother, Clemence Mary Defruytier Van Houtte. She purchased the house some time before 1930 and lived there until her death. She willed it to Uncle George with the stipulation that it be sold once he married and the money split between her four children. Uncle George would never marry, and my grandparents would live in the house until after Uncle George died and the money was divided among the living siblings. The house is gone now, and an ice cream store sits on its memory.
I went looking for what happened to the house in 1940, the year after my great grandmother died. I knew my grandparents would live there eventually, but in 1942 they were living in Olean, New York in a new home that they had built. I went looking for Uncle George and couldn't find him either.
After digging through the census records by hand I found that in 1940 Uncle George had rented the house out for $22.00 a month to Marion Miller Toles and her son Robert Toles. My curiosity got to me and I went looking to see what I could find on them. Marion was listed as married in the census and had lived in rural Cattaraugus County in 1935. Her 18 year old son was listed as having lived in my great grandmother's house in 1935. I found this curious, why would the son and mother not live together and where was the father.
What started out as curious got even more bizarre when I did a search for Robert Toles and brought up his death certificate. Robert died at 20 of a gunshot wound to the chest in a homicide in Erie, Pennsylvania. The reports that were in the paper claimed that Robert had been shot by his mother's fiancé, who had shot his mother, twice, non-fatally and then fatally shot himself. If that wasn't enough, Marion and Robert went by Bonnie and Robert Devere in the 1930 Census in Erie.
Bradford Era, April 23, 1942
FBI to Decide 2 Erie Deaths
Toles and Ziegler Deaths Are Probed; Shirt Examined
Erie, April 22 – (Special) Investigation into the deaths of Robert C. Toles, 21, of Bradford, and Albert J. Ziegler, 60 of Eris has been reopened, it was revealed in an announcement by Burton R. Laub, district attorney.
Toles and Ziegler were found shot to death in the latter's home, 2650 Poplar street, early the morning of April 12. Laub reporte he is awaiting a report from the Federal Bureau of Investigations as to whether powder burns were found on a shirt worn by Ziegler.
Laub said: "If powder burns are found on the shirt, Ziegler shot himself after he killed Toles and wounded Toles' mother. Mrs. Marian Toles, 58, during an argument about setting a wedding date."
Laub pointed out that if powder burns were not found on the clothing the Robert Tolse shot Ziegler, then killed himself.
Paraffin test failed to reveal who fired the .44 caliber revolver used in the double killing. Zieglers hands, Laub said, naturally had been washed preliminary to burial, thus spoiling the test.
Laub also said Mrs. Toles, who was shot twice, has been exonerated of the shooting. She is Robert's mother.
An autopsy shows that Ziegler may not have shot himself, according to Laub. The district attorney pointed out that the course of the bullet in Ziegler's body was not consistent with a left-handed man shooting himself.
Damian McLaughlin, assistant district attorney, conferred with Mrs. Toles who is confined to St. Vincent's hospital, and reported that her statements did not vary with the that she gave police the day of the shooting.

Two Are Slain in Erie Home
Woman Is Also Badly Wounded in Tragedy of Sunday over Wedding Plans.
Erie Pa, April 13 _ Mrs. Marion Toles, 56 of Bradford, lay seriously wounded, while her son and the man she planned to marry in June were dead today, victims of the husband-to-be's anger over wedding plans.
Robert Toles, 21, the son, was shot through the heart as he tried to interfere after Robert J. Ziegler, 60 twice shot his mother at the Ziegler home in Erie early Sunday.
Ziegler then shot himself above the heart, authorities reported. Deputy Coroner Frank St. George issued a verdict of murder and suicide.
Toles had been living with Ziegler for three weeks. Last Tuesday Mrs. Toles came to Erie. Ziegler and Mrs. Toles had planned to marry in June but became involved in an argument over the former's insistence that they wed immediately. The shooting followed.
Police said Ziegler fired two shots at Mrs. Toles, one fracturing her shoulder, the other wounding her in the abdomen.

Mrs. Marion Toles Seeks Damage on Death of Her Son
Erie – (Special) – Seeking to recover damages totaling $35,000 for the murder of her 20-year-old son, Mrs. Marion toles of 108 West 16th street, Erie, formerly of Bradford, Pa., has filed suit in Erie County courts against Charles W. Gorton, administrator of the estate of Albert J. Ziegler, who killed himself after firing a fatal shot into the youth's body during an argument in the Ziegler home on April 12, 1942.
Mrs. Toles served Ziegler as his housekeeper, and with her son Robert Devere Toles, also formerly of Bradford, lived at Ziegler's home according to her statement.
Ziegler was said to have wielded a revolver when he and Mrs. Toles allegedly became embroiled in an argument over their proposed marriage. When he allegedly threatened the woman, her son intervened and was shot to death. Mrs. Toles also suffered two bullet wounds before Ziegler finally turned the weapon on himself.
In her claim against Ziegler's estate, Mrs. Toles asks $10,000 punitive damages and $25,000, to recover for pain and suffering by her son and loss of his earnings.
The Toles lived in Bradford for a period of five years, from 1937 to April 1942. Here they were known as Mrs. Bonnie Devere and Robert Devere. They left for Erie on April 5, 1942, a week prior to the shooting where Mrs. Toles was to accept a job as a housekeeper.

AHMEDABAD: A major fire took place on Tuesday evening at a unit on Sanand-Kadi Road near Chekhla village where a storage unit having 30,000 liters of industrial oil got gutted. Four teams of Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services (AFES) rushed on the spot and doused the flames.
According to AFES officials, they got a call at 4 pm on Tuesday from Adi Fine Chemicals Ltd at Chekhla. The unit, owned by NJ Zariwala, used to prepare the fatty acid used in soap and detergent manufacturing. While the oil was kept at a storehouse, a processing house is located nearby.
"The incident started as a blast took place at 4 pm when the barrels containing oil got flung in the air in a filmy style. Soon, black smoke and soot covered the entire area as stored oil caught fire and started burning. A team led by MF Dastoor, chief fire officer, AFES, and MP Mistry, deputy chief fire officer, rushed on the spot and started the firefighting," said an AFES official.

Last fall I was one of several guest examiners invited by the chairman of the American Board of Surgery to participate with members of the Board in giving Part II of their examinations for certification in General Surgery. The manner in which this oral examination was conducted and the results reviewed and discussed by all the examiners in general impressed me so much that I thought more surgeons should be informed about this examination. Each candidate had previously successfully passed the written Part I.
Guest examiners met with members of the Board on each of the two mornings that the examinations were given and were briefed by the chairman concerning the method of conducting the examination and its objectives; emphasis was placed on a kindly and understanding approach, without any queries about the site of the candidate's medical, intern, and residency or fellowship training.

Hi, I have about a month and a half until my first track & field race, and I was wondering if you guys have any advice for me.
I currently run a 6:15 mile time and am looking to get to about 5:30.
First: is it possible?,
My current training schedule is monday-saturday each day I run about 4-7 miles, and I've been doing that for a couple weeks and have seen no improvement.
I was thinking about doing 9 400s under 75 secs with a minute of rest in between every sunday, but I don't know if that's too much for my body / it won't help at all..
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
Can you get there? I would hope so, with proper training, but maybe not by the time of your first race. I'm no expert but here is what I would suggest. Running short intervals should help - 200s, 400s, 800s. Do them once a week instead of one of your regular runs, not adding a day. Do a good warmup of a mile or so easy before and the same after. Pick a specific time, like 75 secs and try to hit that on each. Recovery of 60 secs should be OK, walking or jogging. You may not be able to do 9 to start. When you start to have trouble hitting your time, it's time to go home. But you should be able to increase the number each week. An alternative to adding more repeats is to bring down the time, maybe 72 secs instead of 75.

on March 15, 2014 - 7:36 PM
PARIS – The scandal, intrigue and occasional vaudeville of Nicolas Sarkozy's five years in the presidency made for great headlines, and French journalists once fretted that politics under his successor, François Hollande, who pledged to be a "normal" president, might prove unbearably dull.
But that fear overlooked the court cases, judicial investigations and general whiff of malfeasance that would trail Sarkozy and his lieutenants out of the corridors of power and, it now appears, entangle even Hollande.
The almost universal expectation that Sarkozy will make a bid for the presidency in 2017 has only heightened the drama.
Chief among the affairs is the allegation, now under investigation by two special magistrates, that Sarkozy's 2007 presidential campaign received as much as $70 million in illegal funds from Moammar Gadhafi of Libya.
This month, the newspaper Le Monde revealed that investigators had tapped the phones of Sarkozy, two of his former ministers and his lawyer, Thierry Herzog, beginning last year. Sarkozy appears to be the first former French president to have his private conversations monitored by investigators.
He has denied the claims of Libyan financing, made by former loyalists to Gadhafi and one of his sons. The phone-tapping has led to unrelated suspicions involving Sarkozy and a well-placed magistrate, Gilbert Azibert, who is believed to have served as his informer in the courts.
Inauspicious as this may seem for Sarkozy and the right, it is the center-left government of Hollande that is now on the defensive. After first insisting that they had learned of the phone-tapping only through the news media, government ministers – including the justice minister, Christiane Taubira – admitted they were informed as early as last month.
It is not uncommon for the minister of justice to be apprised of judicial investigations, especially if celebrities or public officials are involved. But the government was not forthcoming about knowledge of the case.
Their political opponents, who presumably should be on the defensive, have pounced.
Taubira has refused and has insisted she did not lie. At a news conference last week, she said that she had been told about the tapping last month but that she had been given no information about what it revealed. But the internal papers she flashed before reporters to prove her point were captured in news photographs, and closer observation of the documents suggests Taubira was far better informed than she claimed.

OKLAHOMA CITY,OK (AP) - The Cherokee Nation has released details of a report that show the Tahlequah-based tribe has an estimated $1 billion impact on the state's economy.
Commissioned by the tribe, the report released on Tuesday was prepared by Russell Evans, a research economist for Oklahoma City University.
The report studied the economic impact of the Cherokee Nation on a 14-county section of northeast Oklahoma. It noted the tribe's activities employs 9,000 people and provide more than $257 million in income to state residents.
The tribe itself employs more than 3,250 people, while its subsidiary, Cherokee Nation Businesses, employs an additional 5,400 Oklahomans.

Debugging of Class-D Audio Power Amplifiers
Determining and optimizing the performance of a Class-D audio power amplifier can be very difficult without knowledge of the use of audio performance measuring equipment and of how the various noise and distortion sources influence the audio performance. This paper gives an introduction on how to measure the performance of the amplifier and how to find the noise and distortion sources and suggests ways to remove them. Throughout the paper measurements of a test amplifier are presented along with the relevant theory.

Nevada Reaches Deal to Close Budget Gap
Nevada's legislative leaders and the governor reached a final agreement Sunday to close an $887 million budget gap.
That deficit—22% of the state's two-year budget—has proved especially challenging for a state that operates one of the leanest budgets in the country.
Republican governor Jim Gibbons, who faces a tough primary battle for reelection, had framed the gap as a chance to further shrink state government. He had proposed 10% across-the-board cuts to education and social services such as Medicaid. Mr. Gibbons' budget would have closed the state prison and reduced salaries for state employees.
Democrats who control both houses of the legislature had vowed to reduce some of the proposed cuts to education and social services and said they hoped the process would convince Nevadans to change the state's tax structure, which relies heavily on casino and sales taxes
The final deal reduced the education cuts to 6.9%, which amounted to $116 million less for K-12 education and was likely to result in larger school sizes. It also restored funding for many social services the governor had proposed cutting, including such Medicaid benefits as eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures and adult day care, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford said. The budget also restored funding for the state prison and skirted cuts to state salaries.
The compromise was reached by relying on various state reserve funds and on $114 million in federal funds the state expects will be approved, Mr. Horsford said. It also depended on fees and tax prepayments from mining companies and on boosting other fees, such as those charged to banks to issue foreclosure notices and those state parks and museums charge to enter.
The legislature was expected to vote on the proposal late Sunday evening.
Both Republicans and Democrats suggested they had plenty to be dissatisfied with..
"It has things in it that everyone dislikes," said Dan Burns, spokesman for Mr. Gibbons.
Nevada has been hit hard by both the foreclosure crisis and a sharp drop in gambling and tourism. The unemployment rate was nearly 13% in December, up from 8.4% a year earlier. Housing prices dropped 25% in the third quarter of 2009 from a year earlier, when they were already down 26%.
In 2008, Nevada's state government spent the least per resident, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Including spending at the city and county level the state ranked somewhat higher in spending, but still below the national average.
Under the agreement, casino companies emerged mostly unscathed. Legislative leaders had wanted casino companies to pay an additional $32 million in fees, but the industry argued that it already shouldered too much of the state's tax burden. The final deal included about $4 million from higher fees for new gaming license applications.
"Having now been hit by the worst recession in American history and the worst downturn in gaming revenues in Nevada history, we can simply no longer afford to bear the overwhelming share of the burden for running the state," MGM Mirage spokesman Alan Feldman said in a statement Saturday to Las Vegas Sun political columnist Jon Ralston.

Covington to take the stage in Fletcher
Published: Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 10:02 p.m.
FLETCHER -- Lyric Street recording artist Bucky Covington is ready to rock the house at 7 p.m. Friday in the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center, Fanning Bridge Road, Fletcher.
Following up his American Idol success, Covington is one of country's most genuine and exciting entertainers -- a man known and loved as much for his engaging personality as for his formidable talent.
The talent has shone through on three consecutive top 10 hit singles that have helped push his debut album toward gold status. The long-haired North Carolinian with a rocker's charisma and the country boy charm thrills old and new fans alike.
"Being on the road gives me the chance to thank all of the fans who supported my music and helped get me where I am today," says Covington. "But the best thing may be when you're playing a show and the fans sing your song louder than you. It's hard to beat that," he added.
With his self-titled debut album opening at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, Covington earned a place in the forefront of a new generation of country singers. He became the best-selling debut artist of the class of 2007, with the best first-week sales and highest Top 200 debut for any male country artist in 15 years.
He appeared on "Good Morning America," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Live with Regis & Kelly" and many others, became part of the Country Sings Disney project, and appeared in "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
Now, with his forthcoming sophomore album, he leaves behind newcomer status and emerges as one of the true standouts in contemporary country music.

In Los Angeles and Brazil, TT Boy and friends seek and find hot Latin pussy, although some of it doesn't speak Spanish, let alone Latin. Although every scene is a joy to watch, bonus points go to Jasmine and Mary J for being not only super cute and sexy to watch - but also interesting to hear talk. Gabby has a genuine charm about her and deals well with large clumps of cum. Nacho shines with raw sexual energy, and Brian Pumper shines from massive doses of jewelry.
DVD bonuses include some entertaining behind the scene insights into the making of the video.
Pre-nom Best Ethnic-Themed Release - Latin.
