In this forum, I read about QCad 188.8.131.52 - but I don't know where to get it! I just can find 184.108.40.206!
If I purchase an update extend, will I get a newer version the 22.214.171.124? And is it right, the update extend is about 24 Euro, which is the same like buying a new license instead of an update!?
And what's new about 188.8.131.52?
Tiggr (aka Marcus)
PS: I've wrote some words about using qcad for designing kites on my homepage (just in german), I hope, you like that sort of advertisment!

Aidan Quinn, 51, has been returning to Ireland all his life. Although he was born and raised in Chicago, the handsome Irish American actor with the steely blue eyes actually spent a good portion of his early life in Dublin and in Birr, Co. Offaly, located in the heart of the Irish midlands.
Quinn was raised by his devoutly Catholic Irish parents, and in many ways it was a classic Irish American upbringing. His father was a professor of literature and his mother was a typical Irish homemaker (and a fellow bookworm, too).
So Quinn's intimate experience of Irish life and American life has helped him create remarkably insightful portraits of both Irish and Irish American men in films like "Michael Collins", "Songs for a Raggy Boy" and his recent star turn in playwright Conor McPherson's "The Eclipse".
But in "A Shine of Rainbows" Quinn tackles an entirely new kind of character -- Alec, the stoic and very recognizable Irish Da.
"A Shine of Rainbows" begins when a young orphan named Tomas is adopted by Marie O'Donnell (Connie Nielsen), a local woman who lives with her quiet spoken husband (Quinn) on the remote Corrie Island, located just off the coast of Donegal.
But Tomas is a distinctly sensitive boy, and his timidity is an instant problem for his would-be father, who sees only what he considers weakness where he had hoped to see strength.
The truth is that the emotional issues that young Tomas faces aren't all that uncommon -- having had no male role models, he's become shy and insecure around men. And as an orphan, he's had to deal with some rejection and uncertainty in his past, and there's a fair bit of bubbling resentment to contend with too.
Quinn's character senses all this conflict in the boy but seems unable to tackle it head on himself. This is Corrie island in the 1950s after all, not a psychiatrist's office in Manhattan, so the reception is inevitably going to be a bit rougher around the edges.
To make things even worse, and to add to the already simmering tensions, Tomas' relationship with Marie instantly blossoms as her curmudgeonly husband makes things difficult by refusing to sign the adoption papers, because he's disappointed with the boy's unconventional nature.
The thing that makes "A Shine of Rainbows" unusual is that it doesn't shy away from the heartache that comes from family conflicts of this type.
Director Vic Sarin, originally from India, has an immigrant's understanding of the tensions and opportunities that exist when you arrive in a new home, and he expertly guides his cast through a drama that cannot fail to move you.
For Nielsen, who previously starred with Quinn in the death row drama Convicted, it was the quality of the script and the opportunity to work with Quinn again that encouraged her to participate. Even if it meant filming in a location that was about as remote as any she has ever visited.
"It was a small and very intimate crew in Donegal and we had a five week stretch of sunshine. The locals couldn't remember a time when that had happened before," Nielsen told the press.
"We also brought a whole new economy to Inishowen (the most northerly peninsula in Ireland) and we were such a multicultural crew. So for me the experience of making the film was as enjoyable as the work itself."
Nielsen plays an Irish woman who has been trying for years to have her own child. She's full of love for everyone she meets, and so when she chooses to adopt the most miserable child on the planet, you can easily believe she's up to the challenge.
"My character teaches this shy, stuttering child to trust love and to trust life. That, just even talking about it, makes we tear up already," Nielsen says.
"By the time I got to page 30 of the script I was calling my agent and saying I'll do it, I don't care how it ends! My reaction to the piece was that strong."
Bonding with Tomas on remote Corrie Island, Maire shares the joys of her home and introduces him to its whimsical local folklore, including the secret of the seals, and she teaches him that everything you need is inside of you, if you really look.
It's a lesson that's initially lost on Maire's stern husband, who disapproves of everything about Tomas and makes no secret of the fact. He refuses to hide his disappointment that Tomas isn't the kind of boy he was hoping for, and his reluctance to get to know him makes Tomas unsure of whether he really belongs.
"Aidan's character is not at all in touch with his own feelings," says Nielsen. "He's all man and he can't cope with a challenge to his view of the world. This child makes him uneasy. When his wife brings this kid into the house he finds it very hard to accept him."
For Nielsen, part of the joy of the experience was the location in which the film was shot.

As Naruto tries to attack Tobi, Yamato and Kakashi separate the two. Tobi wants to know how Naruto turned Nagato into a traitor while Naruto wants to know about Sasuke. Tobi, not bothered by Yamato's restricting wooden tendrils, knowing their technique couldn't harm him, begins telling them the truth about Itachi as he couldn't tell Sasuke's story without mentioning Itachi's. The Fourth Raikage breaks White Zetsu's neck, gaining admonishment from the Fifth Mizukage for killing a valuable source of information, and leaves with C and Darui to fight Sasuke. The samurai are alerted about Sasuke's infiltration and Karin notices Taka has been discovered. Sasuke kills many samurai while the Raikage, C, and Darui reach his location. Sasuke, Suigetsu and Jūgo fight them. The Raikage snaps Suigetsu's sword and Suigetsu begins to fight Darui with the broken half. Karin notices how Sasuke's chakra has become "colder and darker", and notes it to be worse than level two of his cursed seal. Jūgo transforms into his level two cursed state, and briefly fights the Raikage before being tossed aside. C is paralysed by Sasuke's genjutsu as Sasuke moves in to fight the Raikage.

Ring Around the Sun Seen in Central Florida Astounds, Confounds
Ice crystals create visual phenomenon known as a sun halo

LAKELAND | The sun wasn't exploding and it's not a alien invasion.

The large ring of light seen around the sun on Wednesday in Central Florida was an optical phenomenon called a sun halo, Bay News 9 meteorologist Mike Clay said.
"These are high dense clouds made up of ice crystals so when the sun goes through them it creates the optical illusion," Clay said. "It can happen with the moon, too."
Clay said the sun halo is similar to a rainbow. The inner circle looks darker because your eyes are playing tricks on you, he said.

BEREA, Ky. (WKYT) - The sign outside the school boasts that Berea Community is a "Great place to learn," but lately that's been tough because the attendance has started to slide.
"Today it got to down to about 89.3% and that's too low to continue school," explained Superintendent Mike Hogg, who blamed the flu for all of the illness.
"We decided to cancel for tomorrow (Friday)."
Between the elementary, middle school, and high school students nearly a hundred were absent on Thursday, a telling sign of the illness working it's way through the hallways.
"When you're losing that many students and that many staff members it's really difficult to maintain a high level of instructional focus," said the superintendent.
Hogg says he rarely cancels school for anything baring major weather, like the recent snow, but this problem is that big.
"It's a pretty rare occurrence. Even my daughter, who is a senior, accused me of getting a little soft, but when you take a look at those numbers it's indisputable."
The superintendent credits to custodial staff in the schools for their efforts to keep the buildings clean. However, things have hit a critical point and Hogg, along with other administrators, decided an extra day off won't just help the students and staff, it will give the cleaning crews enough time to disinfect everything.
And Hogg means everything, "We're just going to do the extra-heavy duty cleaning. The water fountains, bathrooms, sinks, doorknobs, doors, glass, just about anything the student can put their hands on."
Berea Community Schools is just the latest district to close up because of illnesses. Laurel County Schools canceled classes last Friday and will follow suit and close down again this Friday because of sickness. The same week, Whitley County schools stopped for several days, and Corbin schools also took time off for health reasons.
Many parents are grateful their students are getting away from others who might be sick.
"I've got kids that get sick pretty easily because one has asthma, so it's very nice to know that bronchitis will not be in the near future for my household," said Lorina Capillo, a mother of two third graders.
"I don't want mine sick again and I know if they keep coming to school it's going to be continuous. I mean it's just going to keep being passed around time after time. So it's good they're allowing a day off so that the kids can get well," added Misty Ball.
However, some parents aren't happy the school is taking another day off from classes. Including weather days and the health day on Friday, the district will have to make up four days at the end of the school year.
Although, everyone agrees this cycle of sickness needs to stop, they just hope a three day break is the cure.

Surgery is the initial procedure in the treatment of many cancers. Surgery and other invasive procedures work by removing cancerous tissues.
Surgical removal of the kidney offers the best option for a cure for patients able to physically tolerate the procedure.
Surgery also may be used to remove cancerous lesions that have spread to other organs. This is usually done to control symptoms and not to cure the disease.
is the removal of the whole kidney. Part of the affected kidney may be removed in certain cases, such as:
Nephrectomy is recommended for Stage I and II kidney cancer. Nephrectomy plus removal of regional lymph nodes is common for Stage III. If the cancer has spread to the renal vein, the tumor may be removed and the vein may be repaired.
The doctor may recommend an arterial embolization before surgery to decrease blood flow to the affected kidney. For this procedure, a catheter is inserted through the groin and threaded up to the renal artery. The doctor injects a substance into the artery to block blood flow.
An incision is made under the ribs or in the back just behind the kidney. The whole malignant kidney (radical nephrectomy) or a portion of the cancerous kidney (partial nephrectomy) is removed. The adrenal gland may be removed. One adrenal gland sits above each kidney. Nearby lymph nodes may also be taken out. The incision is closed with stitches or staples, and bandaged to prevent infection.
Generally, this has been an open procedure. But the laparoscopic approach has become the preferred method to treat kidney cancer. With this method, small incisions are made in the skin through which a camera, light source, and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon performs the surgery using these tools, without cutting open the abdomen or back. With the laparoscopic approach, you should have a faster recovery and spend only a couple of days in the hospital. Open surgery is still performed, usually for larger tumors that require more extensive surgery. You will stay in the hospital for four to seven days.
Nephrectomy is very successful. It has a five-year survival rate of 94% for patients with Stage I disease. For Stage II, it offers a five-year survival rate of 79%. The survival rate varies for Stage III, depending on where and how much the cancer has spread.
After surgery, you may need:

I thought I'd knock out a previously unplayed course while heading to IC this weekend. Dropped into Belle Plaine on the way.
Issue #1: The course could use some signage.
Issue #2: Just about everything after hole #2 is under construction. If it's near the creek or the pool, it's unplayable due to missing tees or baskets.

Offaly are the senior hurling champions for the sixth year in a row after a hard fought battle where they broke the game open in the second half but lived dangerously at the wire. The game opened with nasty scenes in the first two minutes with off the ball incidents across the field. Some of the incidents happened before the game started in fact and they showed all the wrong sides of hurling.
When the game got going it was stopped two and a half minutes in when a full fledged melee started on the forty yard line at the Offaly end. The third man in to the incident was partly the instigator but when mentors arrived in from the line they made the scene far worse. Bottom line is if an incident between two sides in any contest is left to the players and referee, 999 out of 1000 it will get settled easily. When people arrive in from outside the lines it makes it hundreds times worse. A mentor from each side was removed from the pitch and after another five minutes of nastiness it must be said a proper good game of hurling took place. The brilliant play of Naill McManus in the second half took over for Offaly. He scored 1-06 in that thirty minute spell and despite a stirring comeback from Tipperary the Premier ended up with defeat for the second time on Sunday, once on each side of the Atlantic.
The game began in the worst way possible with the above mentioned melee, however a Tipperary player could have already have been booked for a late challenge that left Killian Lenard on the ground. The first score came from Killian Lenard for Offaly. It was followed by the first goal of the encounter. A long ball from Aiden McInerney was pounced on by Dan Dwyer and he dispatched to the net with just fiver minutes gone. The game was still being played with a negative impact however. Dan Dwyer had a second goal chance but his screamer went narrowly wide before Eamonn Dillon had Tipp's third point to leave the early score line at 1-01 to 0-03 with a sixth of the game over. Eoin Dillon with a long free and Naill McMorrow with a beauty of the left side he was hugging they sideline moved the score forward before Tipp put back to back points up to edge in front. Benny Dunne had the second a long range drive that showed his undoubted talent. As the game came to the break both sides had huge opportunities to forge positive impacts. It went in two different ways. Points from Offaly's Boland and McManus put the side ahead but a 21 yard free for Offaly when Naill McManus was fouled was blocked by the defense and the rebound was also parried to safety. A long ball into Alan Gleason at the other end was fouled by the keeper as he was under pressure. The resulting free was driven to the net by Seamus Hennessy off the hurl of a defender. Offaly got level before the break with points from two Shane McNaughton frees, they came in quick succession. It left the sides all level at the break 1-06 a piece.
The second half was the Naill McManus show and his performance in the last quarter was nothing short of sublime. Tipperary had three points to open the half with McMorrow, two and Brian Brooks the scorers. They were cancelled out by three McManus frees however to again leave us in parity with seven minutes gone. The sides swapped scores but the difference was a point at the Tipp end while Offaly's was a goal from Brian McNaughton when a Killian Lenard shot was parried into his path. While Tipp replied with points from Dunne and McMorrow Offaly again put the sword to work with a point from McManus and a cracking goal from Sambo McNaughton when he got on the end of a Pat Hartley delivery. After further swapped scores the play of the game arrived with Naill McManus the star. He won possession on the right and soloed for forty yards, breaking tackles before driving the ball to the back of the net for a brilliant goal. He followed it with a point from play and with five minutes left, Offaly had a 4-12 to 1-14 lead. It looked lights out for Tipperary but they had one last burst in them. Both sides had points before Sambo McNaughton put eight between the sides with Offaly's final score. Tipp foraged again and the inside forward line of Dillon and McMorrow had a goal each after goal mouth scrambles to narrow the deficit less than a score.
Time ran out however as their last chance was scrambled out for a 65 by the Faithful defense and the resulting stroke dropped short as the buzzer sounded for the victory.
Offaly had excellent performances from Pat Hartley; Eoin Dillon whop had his best game of the season, Aiden McInerney, and the brilliant Naill McManus. Sambo McNaughton was excellent while Killian Menard and sub Brian McNaughton had valuable contributions. Tipperary had a huge part in a great final 55 minutes. Seamus Hennessy had a brilliant hour, he did basically everything his side asked of him and more, a lot of McManus's good work was when he was switched off the big man. Benny Dunne and Dave Loughnane both had positives in the middle, Dunne took his scores well. Naill McMorrow and Eamonn Dillon had very good innings with McMorrow clinical from frees.

Organizers of a Friday night benefit for a Fargo skateboarder say that a few thousand dollars raised at the event is missing.
Tom Kemmer, one of the organizers of an event held for Billy Moyle, says he and others spent Saturday reviewing security tapes and searching for a missing bag of money.
Moyle was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of an October car accident.
Kemmer tells the Forum (http://bit.ly/UA5T51 ) that money from Friday's benefit would go to defray Moyle's medical expenses. He says the money had not been counted before it went missing, but he estimated it was between $2,000 and $3,000.
Kemmer says the money was stolen or lost in transit. He says organizers filed a report with Fargo police on Saturday.

Dog survives 110-mile ride on pickup's engine
Published: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 1:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 1:46 p.m.
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) — A dog has survived a 110-mile ride on the hot engine of a pickup truck during a Southern California heat wave.
The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado felt the pickup move slightly after he stopped in San Clemente on Monday. He had just driven from Chino to Orange and Camp Pendleton.
The Orange County Register (bit.ly/QFtxvg) says 52-year-old Jaime Magaña noticed fur above the left front tire and he opened the hood to find a 25-pound dog atop the engine.
Temperatures outside were nudging 100 degrees.
Magaña called for help and an animal control officer put the dog, nicknamed Chevy, into her air conditioned truck.
It perked right up.
Magaña says he's seen the dog in his Chino neighborhood.
The hunt is on for the dog's owner.

11 Easy Ways to Lose Those Last 10 Pounds
You don't have to go on a crazy weight loss diet to shed those last few pounds -- try these depravation-free methods instead
Just think about it -- if a pill like this were available, we could enjoy all of the fabulous food our country has to offer minus the extra weight and the hefty serving of guilt that comes with over indulging.
Unfortunately, this pill hasn't been invented -- yet. Which means we actually have to do something -- eat less or workout more -- in order to keep off the pounds.
And while you know you can clock more hours at the gym or cut your serving sizes in half to shed those hardest-to-lose last 10 pounds, there are a few minor tweaks you can make to your current weight loss diet and exercise routine to help you burn a few extra calories.
To come up with these sneaky calorie burning and trimming tips, we spoke to fitness and lifestyle consultant Ashley Borden. She says that in addition to the few "old school" practices of "walking your dog more often, parking further away, and taking the stairs," there are other easy ways to burn more calories in order to lose those last few pounds. Though these weight loss diet and exercise suggestions may seem minor, they add up quickly. So keep reading. After all, bikini season is just around the corner ...

I recently cut pop/soda (again) and have replaced that with water with sliced cucumbers, lemons and mint leaves. This is a wonderful drink as not only does it detox and help you lose weight but it also helps clear your complexion. 2 birds one stone.

I prefer Splenda to Stevia. The cinnamon seems interesting. I'm going to look into the rolling excercises.

VOLUME 6 NUMBER 17 LISH.PEND D'ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES! NEW MOON OF THE WANDERING JANUARY 1,1977 'COMPLEX' CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SIGNED Dixon: Bids for Construction of the new Tribal Headquarters Complex were opened December 2nd. Low bid sumbitted was $738,940 by the Rolfson Construction Company of Poison, Montana. Other bids submitted were; Knowlton H. Brown Company Utah, $824,077 plus deducts. Sharbono Construction Company, Helena Mt., $739,500 plus deducts. The low bid from Rolfson Co. comes to $2,940 more than the budget amount of $737,000 in funds available for construction. The Council considered this figure "in the ballpark" and stated that rebid-ding the project would only drive the costs higher and not lower. The contract was awarded to Rolfson Co., and signed December 29 by Mr. Rolfson and Tribal representative, Secretary Fred J. Houle, Jr. Excavation work has begun on the Pablo location site, and actual construction should begin in February, according to a Company spokesman. The new headquarters will house the Tribal Operations, Property and Supply Warehouse, Courtrooms, Council Chambers and Conference rooms, Char-Koosta Newspaper and Print Shop, a new jail and Law and Order offices, Education and employment Assistance programs. The project is expected to be completed by late October. The present agency in Dixon was built in the early 1920's. As Tribal operations have grown so has the need for office space. Old houses were renovated, (which usually meant desks, chairs and office equiptment moved in), as Triabl businesses grew and em ployment and education programs increased. Offices are now scattered around the Grant Approved for Community Centers It has been reported by Representative John Melcher that more than $10 million in Public Works Projects has been approved for Montana by the Economic Development Administration. Of the $10 million, $1,970,178 was approved for use by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes for community facilities. The EDA Public Works Funding will be used for construction of new Community Centers in Elmo, Hot Springs, and Turtle Lake in the Poison District. A fourth existing center located in Arlee will be upgraded. Each of the centers are proposed to house a 6 lane bowling alley with snack bar, meeting rooms, and at least one facility will contain a small grocery store. The Elmo center has tenatively been chosen as a sight for the tribal store, chosen as a sight for the tribal store.

The project is funded through grants from the Economic Development Ad-minstration and Law Enforcement Assistance Act. Additional funding comes from Federal Revenue Sharing money, totaling $737,000 in the Construction budget. Although 'the project may require some Tribal funds, estimates are a few thousand dollars, it will be only an initial investment recouped from present main-tainance savings.

Lindsay Lohan's father says she's working as an escort.
There goes this year's Father's Day present.
RadarOnline quoted Michael Lohan as saying Lindsay is desperate for money, and keeps herself in the lifestyle to which she's accustomed by working as a professional escort.
"She is getting paid to date rich men," Michael Loha told the website, adding that his ex-wife Dina Lohan is pimping out their daughter.
This guy doesn't just burn bridges. He nukes them.
Lohan, of course, has a rocky history with her father, with whom she is often not on speaking terms and whom she has accused of lying and repeatedly talking to the press for his own gain.
Michael and Dina Lohan are divorced, and she recently claimed that he sexually assaulted her years ago.
Sources close to the Lindsay, though, have corroborated Michael Lohan's allegations.
"The dates last for days, and the guys pay for everything -- hotel, travel costs, food, whatever -- as well as jewelry and other gifts," a source revealed, adding that one of Lohan's most high-profile clients is third in line to the throne in Brunei, and paid the actress $100,000 to join him in London on New Year's Eve.
Well, maybe she was in town anyway ...
Radar reports that no one is claiming Lohan is having sex for money -- which is illegal or something -- but she's allegedly being paid to act as "arm candy" for wealthy men.
They can't be that wealthy. Or they're simply not shopping at the right candy store.
This isn't the first time Lohan has been tied to escorting. In 2010, Lohan reportedly lost out on $150,000 from billionaire Richard Lugner, who brings a celebrity escort each year to the Vienna Opera Ball. Lugner has brought the likes of Sophia Loren, Carmen Electra and Dita von Tease. When Lugner sought out Lohan for the 2010 event, she reportedly was hesitant, and requested that the ball's date be changed. After Lohan and her managers made more demands, she reportedly lost the gig, according to the New York Post.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents

|Whether Irving has bent o... >>
Irving's reliance on the forged Tagesbefehl No. 47
13.117 The forged evidence on which Irving is said to have relied is Tagesbefehl (Order of the day) No 47 ("TB47"). The majority of the Defendants' criticisms relate to or are connected with the way in which Irving dealt with this document.
13.118 I have set out in detail in paragraphs 11.9 to 11.40 above the history of the forged TB47 and the parties' respective arguments about Irving's reliance on it. In my judgment there are serious criticisms to be made of Irving's use of this document. In the first place Irving knew all along that there were powerful reasons for doubting the genuineness of the purported TB47. It had been denounced by Seydewitz as fraudulent. Indeed Irving himself was aware that Goebbels had been seeking to take propagandist advantage of the raid by making exaggerated claims as to the number of deaths. Irving in1963 described the so-called TB47 as "spurious" (although I accept that at that date he had not seen a copy). When he did receive a copy, he was warned by Lange, the Dresden archivist, that it was a patent forgery. I accept the evidence of Evans, which I have summarised at paragraph 11.18 above, that there were features within the document itself which cast doubt on its bona fides. Irving therefore had every reason to be suspicious about the claim that the death toll might ultimately be 250,000.
13.119 Yet when in 1964 Irving received a copy of TB47 from Funfack via Hahn, he appears to have been eager to accept the document as a true copy and the figures claimed in it as accurate. I am not persuaded that there is any valid explanation for Irving's change of heart about the genuineness of the document. Indeed in a memorandum written shortly after he obtained his copy of TB47 Irving expressed distinct reservations about its authenticity and the accuracy of the figures contained in it. In these circumstances it was in my view incumbent of Irving, as a responsible historian, to treat the document with extreme caution. He should have verified the provenance of the document with Funfack and with anyone else in a position to assist. In the meantime he should not have made use of so suspect a document.
13.120 There is no evidence that Irving sought Funfack's comments about the document. He did nothing to dispel the doubts he had previously entertained about it. In these circumstances it was in my judgment reprehensible for Irving to write to the Provost of Coventry Cathedral enclosing a copy of the supposed TB47 and expressing himself to be in no doubt as to its authenticity. It was equally reprehensible of Irving to write in similar terms to his German publisher.
13.121 Irving's conduct thereafter is even less defensible. As I have described in paragraph 11.14 above, he was told by Funfack that he was in no position to vouch for TB47. I accept that Irving was also told by Funfack of the estimates of 180,000 and 140,00 put on the number of casualties by Mehnert and Fetscher respectively. But that information (which was never verified) did little to remove the suspicion surrounding TB47. I do not accept Irving's explanation that he disbelieved what Funfack told him because he was living in a regime which was still Communist and was fearful of the consequences of being linked to the Nazi regime. Nor can I accept that the recollection of Frau Grosse of the estimate her husband had put on the number of casualties should have weighed significantly with Irving in assessing the reliablity of the figures in TB47.
13.122 Irving made reference to the fake TB47 as a genuine document in the Italian edition of Dresden in terms which suggested that it was a genuine document. Doubts about the authenticity of the document were subsequently increased yet further by Miller's letters to Irving to which I have referred at paragraph 11.19. Irving's disregard of that apparently credible evidence was, in my view, a further grave lapse on his part. His explanation that he considered that Miller was "fantasising" when he gave a figure of 30,000 deaths strikes me as absurd. There was nothing in what Miller wrote to suggest to an objective commentator that Miller was other than a credible and reliable witness. (In the event the figure in the genuine TB47 turned out to be 25,000 which was close to Miller's figure). The subsequent publication of TB47 in an appendix to the 1966 Corgi edition of Dresden without the expression of any reservations about its genuineness or the figures contained in it was in my view another grave lapse on Irving's part.
13.123 The Final Report and Situation Report No 1404, to which I have referred in paragraphs 11.23 and 11.24 above, would have been regarded by any dispassionate historian as conclusive proof that the purported copy of TB47 was a fake and that there was good reason to suppose that the death toll was in the region of 25,000. This was the figure accepted by Reichert in his book on the bombing, which is regarded by Evans as authoritative. I accept that Irving is entitled to credit for having taken the unusual step of writing to the Times about the new casualty figure. But that does not in my judgment excuse the doubts he continued to cast upon the accuracy of the new figure, still less does it excuse the grossly inflated claims as to the number of casualties which Irving continued to make in a subsequent edition of Dresden and in the speeches detailed in paragraphs 11.6 and 11.7 above.
13.124 When asked what was the supporting evidence for these inflated claims, Irving relied on the estimates for the number of casualties made by Mehnert and Fetscher and on the recollection of Frau Grosse, which I have mentioned. He also testified that his claims had been based on estimates as high as 250,000 which he had received from a great many individuals. Irving neither identified the individuals nor disclosed the letters. He prayed in aid also the fact that there were in Dresden at the time an unquantified number of refugees fleeing before the advancing Russian army. Finally he relied on the estimate of Hans Voigt, summarised in paragraph 11.52 above, that 135,000 had been killed. But, as stated in paragraph 13.126 below, none of this material casts significant doubt on the accumulation of evidence that th true death toll was within the bracket of 25-30,000.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team picked up a win in its first road game on Tuesday, defeating Belmont by a final of 72-62.
The Islanders were able to knock off the Bruins in their home arena after Belmont came into the American Bank Center last season and downed A&M – Corpus Christi.
For the fourth-straight game, Jasmine Shaw was the leading scorer for the Islanders, as she scored only two points in the first half, but came out strong in the second to get a total of 17 on the night. She helped her team put the game away late, going 6 for 6 from the free throw line down the stretch.
Senior Ashley Darley nearly recorded her second double-double of the season, as she pulled down 10 rebounds, four of which on the offensive end, in just 22 minutes of play. She also had seven points on the night.
Both junior transfer Alissa Campanero and freshman Brittany Mbamalu recorded career highs, as Campanero also helped the team late with four free throws and a total of 12 points, while Mbamalu went 4-8 from downtown en route to a 14-point performance. Kassie Jones also notched the first collegiate points of the night, adding a total of eight.
The entire team shot the ball well for A&M – Corpus Christi, sinking 11 threes, which was just one short of tying the school record for most three pointers made in a game. For the night, the team shot 44 percent from the field and 48 percent from behind the arc.
After getting outrebounded by a total of 27 in the first three games, the Islanders hit the glass hard against the Bruins, outrebounding them 41-28.
Less than a minute into the game, the Islanders jumped on Belmont to get an early 5-0 lead. Taryn Gregory started things off, busting a wide open three after Shaw drew all the defenders into the lane and dished it out. Darley then found an open lane to the bucket and converted on the layup.
However, the Bruins would come right back to score the next five points, hitting a three and layup of their own in the next 53 seconds to tie the game up.
Both teams then struggled to find any sort of offensive consistency. Each side only scored four points a piece over a stretch of more than seven minutes.
After three ties in the game with the Islanders leading the rest of the time, it was at the 11:12 mark that the home team finally took the lead. Belmont would then extend its lead on a layup by its leading scorer Jordyn Luffman.
However, the Islanders would come right back to tie the game up with Darley and Alissa Campanero knocking down jumpers on back-to-back possessions to make it 13 all with 8:36 left in the half. Campanero would then hit a three two possessions later to give the lead back to A&M – Corpus Christi.
Belmont came right back to score the next five points to regain the lead, as the Islanders went on a scoreless streak of nearly five minutes. It was then that freshman Mbamalu sank two from behind the arc to give the visitors the lead once again.
Another freshman then turned it on for the Islanders. Kassie Jones recorded her first career points with a jumper to extend the lead to six. She then scored four more points in the final minute, scoring the Islanders final six points of the half.
However, Belmont would match those four points, and the Islanders would take a 28-22 lead into the half.
In the second half, the Islanders came out on fire, especially from long range. Before the first media timeout in the second half, A&M – Corpus Christi had already knocked down three threes, two from Shaw and one from Gregory, to extend its lead to 12 with 13:54 left to play.
But after the onslaught of offense, the Islanders' shooters went cold, failing to score in nearly the next four minutes. Luckily, the Bruins were only able to score four points during that stretch to cut the lead to eight.
The barrage of threes came once again, as Mbamalu knocked down her third and fourth threes of the game to push the A&M – Corpus Christi lead to 16 – its biggest of the night.
Belmont would not go down easily though, rattling off the next seven points to cut the lead to single digits once again with 7:21 left on the clock.
Once again it was response from downtown by the Islanders, as Gregory knocked down her second three of the night and the team's 11th.
A basket, foul and a made free throw on Belmont's offensive end pulled the lead back to just nine with 6:48 left, but that is the closest the Bruins would get the rest of the night.
In the final three minutes and 13 seconds of play, the Islanders would head to the line 19 times and would ice the game by converting on 13 of them.
The Islanders will play one more game in Nashville before heading back to the Coastal Bend, as they will matchup with Tennessee State on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Hitler's meeting with Antonescu and Horthy in April 1943
78. The judge regarded this issue as important in assessing the applicant's historiography. In 1943 there were in Hungary some 750,000 Jews. The Nazis brought pressure on the Hungarian government to deport them and the Hungarians were reluctant to comply. Meetings between Hitler and Admiral Horthy, leader of the Hungarian government took place on 16 and 17 April 1943. The Hungarians refused to hand over the Jews and Hungary was subsequently invaded and occupied by the Germans.
79. While the judge found that the applicant's account of Hitler's meeting with Antonescu, military dictator of Romania on 12/13 April 1943 was misleading we regard the judge's only relevant finding on this issue to be that the applicant "materially perverts the evidence of what passed between the Nazis and Horthy on 17 April" (13.44). There was evidence that at the meeting on 16 April Hitler sought to persuade Horthy to agree to the expulsion of the Hungarian Jews but reassured him that there would be no need to kill them. On 17 April, Hitler and Ribbentrop expressed themselves more explicitly. The judge accepted that the minutes taken by officials at both meetings were reliable. The judge found that, on 17 April, both Hitler and Ribbentrop "spoke in uncompromising and unequivocal terms about their genocidal intentions in regard to the Hungarian Jews". Hitler is recorded as having said (5.204):
"If the Jews [in Poland] didn't want to work, they were shot. If they couldn't work, they had to perish. They had to be treated like tuberculosis bacilli, from which a healthy body can be infected. That was not cruel; if one remembered that even innocent natural creatures like hares and deer had to be killed so that no harm was caused. Why should one spare the beasts who wanted to bring us bolshevism? Nations who did not rid themselves of Jews perished".
80. That statement is quoted in Hitler's War but is followed by the statement:
"But they can hardly be murdered or otherwise eliminated". [Horthy] protested. Hitler reassured him: "There is no need for that."
81. The judge stated (13.44) that he was not persuaded "that Irving had any satisfactory explanation for this transposition from 16 to 17 April of Hitler's comforting remark, made on 16 April, that there was no need for the murder or elimination of the Hungarian Jews".
82. Mr Davies asks the Court to consider afresh whether the transposition was innocent and whether, taken in isolation, the transposition can bear upon the applicant's historiography. The judge concluded (13.44) that in his judgment "Irving materially perverts the evidence of what passed between the Nazis and Horthy on 17 April". We see no reason to doubt that conclusion. It has a significant bearing upon the attitude of Hitler to Jewish questions and upon the applicant's approach to Hitler's involvement.

Spring is back
Spring is really here and recently temperatures have risen from cold to warm. It is time to go back to the gym for those of us who have accumulated some fat over the winter. Strangely I felt like doing some online gambling today while I was working on a research paper. This is something I rarely do but once in a while playing a few sessions of blackjack does not kill. I find it entertaining and relaxing, good when I need to change my mind. Of course I only play for pennies so it does not cost me anything noticeable.
wash that thrift store smell right out of your chair
My living room is big for a one-bedroom apartment, but somewhat narrow and dominated by Rob's two favorite possessions: a giant flat screen TV and a giant brown leather sofa. Moving or losing either one of those items is out of the question, so when the time came to look for more seating for the living room, I was kind of at a loss. The giant sofa's giant arms left no room for a regular love seat and I hoped for more than a couple of narrow chairs. Luckily a midweek trip to St. Vincent's thrift store yielded two comfy armless chairs that I was able to bargain down to just $20 each.
They were perfect. And looked great. And were each big enough to fit two (skinny or okay-with-being-cozy) people. The only problem? They were really dusty and smelled like thrift store, ugh. So I did a little research, whipped up a little detergent foam and watched a little reality TV one afternoon and a couple hours later had two sparkling clean chairs.
Whipping laundry detergent is oddly satisfying.
Before I tell you what I did -- a note about upholstery. The fabric on these chairs is anything but luxurious, which is why I went ahead with the cleaning process without spot-checking to make sure it wouldn't do anything weird. If you are cleaning upholstery you are fond of, test a small patch before proceeding with the whole furniture piece.
My assistant, whether I like it or not.
Once you're ready to go, mix 1/4 cup laundry detergent with about 2 cups of water in a large non-plastic bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture on low until the bowl is full of dry, fluffy foam. Lift the foam from the bowl with a metal spoon (plastic or wood will absorb the detergent scent) and apply to the upholstery. Rub the foam in gently with a clean rag. Repeat over the entire furniture piece, rewhipping the detergent mixture to get more foam as needed. Empty the bowl and fill it with clean water. Dip a clean rag in the water, squeeze it out and rub it gently over the upholstery to remove the remaining dirt and detergent. Repeat, refilling the bowl with fresh water as needed. Let the upholstery dry.
And...done! Two clean, good-smelling $20 chairs so we can have even more people over to watch our giant TV.*
Not really an After, since I never took a Before picture. But you get the idea.
*Which is exactly what we did a couple weeks ago when Still Waiting** came out on DVD because Rob has a pretty big part in it. The movie is kind of misogynistic and awful, but Rob is funny, so if you're interested in seeing him on the small screen, rent it. Rob plays Mason, the lisping fry cook with a heart of gold.
**This is not the movie I mentioned previously, the one with Catherine Zeta Jones. That movie is called The Rebound and will be in theaters hopefully very soon.

I was out on South Congress here in Austin the other night with my gorgeous husband. We had a wonderful meal and decided to walk around. Everything was closed except for American Apparel. We went in. We saw some crazy things, we saw some cool things. Most of all, besides an awesome chiffon dress, were these hairbows.
Well, you can bet I came right home and began work on making these for $14.49 LESS than what they're charging! I may be biased, but I feel pretty good about mine … I think they look exactly the same! (well, less shiny for sure!)
To make these yourself…
My apologies American Apparel, but why would I pay $15 when I can make one in 12 minutes for 50 CENTS!
There you have it folks … day two of SO CELEBRATE SEWING!
see you tomorrow!

digitalrenewal.com Setting up a Facebook Landing Page is quite confusing so I walk through 11 steps to get it done. Follow along to create your facebook landing page with the new Facebook requirements. Go to my website to download the files discussed in the video.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Is there a limit to how many files can be in a directory with the newer versions (tried v1.10.51 and beta v1.11.350)?
Both of these newer versions resulted in constant DLNA 2006 error. After reading several posts in here, I reverted back to v1.04 and the problem went away, as well as the DLNA 2006 error.
Also, it might be helpful to know what Java version is need with which PS3MediaServer version.
I still find it amazing that a file (MPEG2 and 2Ch) with a bitrate of 1.2Mbps (according to the PS3) can take as much as 22 Mbps to upload from the PC (using nearly zero CPU - no encoding).

Mix together well and chill. Serve with chunks of fresh fruit. This is delicious and so simple.
Mix all ingredients together. Spread in shallow casserole dish or pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes till brown and bubbly. Serve with crackers or rye chips. Reheats well in microwave.
Place spinach in large salad bowl and add berries and orange sections. Gradually whisk in oil, then add basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss thoroughly. Scatter pine nuts over top.
Heart Shaped Tenderloin Fillets With Mushroom Sauce
Rub olive oil lightly on fillets and place in iron skillet on medium heat until desired temperature. Place fillets over crunchy onions (onion slices dredged in flour and deep fried). In separate skillet saute mushrooms in olive oil, add Jack Daniel's (flambe) add beef stock and bring to a boil. Add slurry to sauce and tighten to a medium consistency. Add atop heart shaped tenderloin fillets. Enjoy!
Pound chicken breasts between two pieces of waxed paper to a uniform thickness. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet and cook chicken until lightly browned and juices run clear. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Add mushrooms and onion to pan and cook at medium high heat until mushrooms have given up their liquid and are tender. Divide mushroom mixture evenly between two plates. Add lemon juice and wine (or stock) to skillet and deglaze pan. Cook until mixture has been reduced by about half. Place a piece of chicken on each plate and pour sauce over. Serve immediately.
Position oven rack so asparagus will roast in center. Preheat to 475 degrees. Coat pan with baking spray. Cut asparagus so spears are even and all the same length. Toss with butter or oil. Arrange coated spears in a single layer in prepared pan. Roast 5 minutes. Turn spears over (a pan cake turner works well) and roast until tender - about 5 minutes more according to thickness. Arrange roasted asparagus on serving platter. Sprinkle with lemon juice, zest and salt (if desired).
In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, saute mushrooms in 2 teaspoons hot olive oil 4 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over very low heat, keep broth warm. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in remaining 2 teaspoons hot oil 4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in rice; cook, stirring, until slightly translucent. Add wine; cook, stirring, until almost all the wine is absorbed. Turn heat to low; add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion is absorbed before adding the next. Continue adding broth and stirring 25 minutes, or until rice is tender but firm. Stir in mushrooms. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, parsley, and pepper.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together in an ungreased casserole dish, adding spinach last. Bake until knife comes out clean like custard (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours). You can also use squash or broccoli.
Mix by hand until mixed well. Pour batter into prepared 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until done. Ice with your favorite chocolate icing.
Cream Cheese Icing:
Heat the oven and grease and flour sides and bottom of two 8-inch pans, one square and one round, as directed on the cake mix box. Add the gelatin to the cake mix, then add water, applesauce and egg whites. Beat for two minutes. Fold the strawberries into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake according to the package directions. Remove the cakes from the pan and allow them to cool completely on wire racks. Make the cream cheese icing: (Beat butter and cream cheese at high speed of a mixer until fluffy. Add sugar, beat at low speed until well blended. Add vanilla; beat well.) When the cakes have cooled, remove them from their pans. Cut the round one in half and place the circles against two sides of the square cake to form a heart. Spread on the frosting and decorate with candies.
In a medium saucepan, heat and stir butter and brown sugar over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool mixture 15 minutes. Stir in beaten egg, flour and cocoa powder until combined. Stir in 3/4 cup pistachio nuts. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill about 30 minutes or until dough is easy to handle. Roll dough out on a flavored surface until 1/4-inch thick and cut into heart shaped pieces. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for nine minutes at 350°. Cool cookies and set aside. Heat up chocolate pieces and shortening until smooth. Dip cookies in, then coat with nuts.
In a heavy, small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate and butter. If necessary return to heat for 30 seconds while stirring until chocolate is completely melted and well blended. Pour chocolate mixture in a shallow glass or plastic container and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Process pecan sandies in food processor or blender to make very fine crumbs, and scatter them on a pie plate. Line a glass, airtight container with waxed paper. Dip a melon baller in warm water and scrape it across the surface of the cold truffle mixture to form a 1/2-inch ball. Drop the ball into the crumbs and repeat with the rest of the mixture. Roll the chocolate balls around the crumbs until well coated. Transfer the truffles to the prepared container and separate layers with additional wax paper. Cover tightly and keep refrigerated. Makes around 35 small truffles.

Mother, Four Children Stabbed to Death in Brooklyn
By Alison Fox and Joe Jackson
UPDATED | A Chinese immigrant was arrested Sunday and charged in the stabbing deaths of a mother and her four children inside a Brooklyn home, officials said.
Mingdong Chen, 25 years old, faces five counts of murder in the attacks on his relatives, allegedly carried out with a butcher knife inside a Sunset Park home late Saturday, police said.
"It's just a scene you will never forget," said NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks, calling the attacks "an unspeakable act."
Mr. Chen, who is a cousin of the victims, is awaiting arraignment and could not be reached for comment. It was unclear if he had retained a lawyer.
Mr. Banks said Mr. Chen arrived in the United States in 2004. Most recently, police said, he had been living in Chicago and at one point had an address in Chinatown in New York. Mr. Banks said he may have stayed with the family before as well.
According to Mr. Banks, Mr. Chen told police that "since he's been in this country everyone seems to be doing better than him."
The father of the children was at work at the time of the attack.
The victims—ranging in age from one to 37 years-old—were attacked inside a house on 57th Street, a residential block in Sunset Park, around 10:45 p.m., police said.
Officers responding to a 911 call about a person stabbed at the location found five victims inside. Three victims were pronounced dead at the scene — Linda Zhuo, 9 years old, Amy Zhuo, 7, and William Zhuo, 1. Thirty-seven-year-old Qiao Zhen Li was transported to Lutheran Medical Center, and five-year-old Kevin Zhuo was taken to Maimonides Hospital, where they were both pronounced dead.
Police said Ms. Li believed Mr. Chen had been acting suspiciously and tried calling her husband. When he didn't pick up the phone, she called her mother-in-law in China. The mother-in-law then tried to reach her son, said Mr. Banks, before reaching out to her other daughter who lives nearby.
That woman, the children's aunt, went with her husband to check on the family.
"They bang on the door and they bang on the door," said Mr. Banks. "At some point [Mr. Chen] opens the door and they see that he is covered with blood."
Mr. Banks said the aunt had never met Mr. Chen and called 911. Detectives who were already on the block investigating another incident responded quickly, he said.
Mr. Chen was taken into custody at the scene. While at the 66th Precinct he allegedly assaulted an officer, Mr. Banks said. Charges of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest were pending, police said.
Police kept the block sealed off into Sunday morning as crime scene units in white hazardous material suits and detectives worked under floodlights.
Kenny Lin, 33, a neighbor, said he saw two of the victims—a young girl and a woman—being brought out by rescue workers.
"All their clothes were bloodied," he said. "I couldn't see their faces.
Renconge Li, 26, said he saw a distraught woman in front of the house amid the chaos.
"She was crying. I think she was one of the family," he said. "Her friend told me, 'Her family got cut!'"

I have never won the lottery. I've never been hit by lightning either. Luck is relative, I suppose.
My daughter-in-law Heather however, is another story entirely as it relates to luck (the good kind.) I've lost track of how many things she's won and I've taken to putting her name on any raffle ticket I buy just to see if I can fake out the gods of luck. Hasn't worked so far.
A month or so ago, Heather invited hubby and me to attend her company's annual summer family gathering. Each department has a booth at this theme related event and they go all out in the decorating of their booths and have the food and their costumes tie into whatever they've chosen as their theme. Heather's department chose Animal House and they all showed up to work in their togas. Guests happily stepped over empty beer cases and cans to get a taste of the fried macaroni and cheese they were serving. Next door to them was the "As Seen On TV" booth where a Vince (the ShamWow guy) look-alike was hawking the Slap Chop in a YOU'RE GONNA LOVE MY NUTS t-shirt. And across the alley was the booth where Heather was about to get lucky... yet again. She dropped her door prize ticket in the bucket and told us that we couldn't leave until the drawing because you needed to be present to win. Here's where it gets freaky. After she won the iPod that afternoon, she informed us that she knew she would win, BUT she also knew that her name would not be the first name drawn. Indeed, the first ticket drawn belonged to someone who'd left the picnic early and therefore left it all open for our Heather to take home the grand prize. Isn't that crazy?
So what does all of that have to do with chicken kabobs? I actually won the sauce that I used to marinate them!!

Obama Talks Football as He Moves Health Care Goalposts
So we know politics isn't technically a sport, but it does provide excellent opportunities for sports metaphors. During President Barack Obama's lengthy press conference Thursday, he repeatedly lapsed into an extended football comparison to explain how the White House messed up the Obamacare rollout.
As with all metaphors, they can be used in both directions. After the death of bin Laden, Mr. Obama defended not releasing photographs of the corpse because "we don't need to spike the football."
Here's what he said today:
–And, you know, that's on me. I mean, we fumbled the rollout on this health care law.
–And you know, I am very frustrated, but I'm also somebody who, if I fumble the ball, you know, I'm going to wait until I get the next play, and then I'm going to try to run as hard as I can and do right by the team. So, you know, ultimately I'm the head of this team. We did fumble the ball on it. And what I'm going to do is make sure that we get it fixed.
– So again, you know, these are two fumbles on something that — on a big game which — but the game's not over.

Expect everything from Fats Waller to Jefferson Airplane, rounded out with a little Lulu, says Bly.
Bly works at Gifford. "I'm excited to play for co-workers and friends and to be part of Gifford's new community concert series," she says.
The performance is from 7-8:15 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
The Gifford park is located between the hospital and the Thrift Shop on South Main Street (Route 12) south of Randolph village. Ample parking is available onsite.
