While the bottoms fit and feel great, the tops get loose after the 2nd wash. Doubt I will ever buy again.
Can't imagine wearing anything else
I have diabetes and wear heavy boots with Orthotic (for arthritis in my toes) - can't imagine wearing anything else but these especially with Military Socks from Amazon - polypropylene. only at a little sweat at 90 degress for 12 hours
Best socks for arthritis
Wearing the tennis socks alleviated most of the pain caused by arthritis in my large toes.

Best socks to coach I
I stand up most all day- they are the best. I don't wear anything else. I even wear the boot socks!
All types of activity. Running, cycling, hiking, knock around
Excellent. My favorites
Great for tennis.
They are very soft but supportive. They keep feet cool.
Great for thin, flat feet
Thorlos fit better than any other socks for thin, flat feet. They don't bunch up under my toes.
Can't live/work without them!!!
I actually use these for work with my steel toe boots! Because these are so padded and comfortable, they don't cause fatigue, blisters, or calluses that steel toe with regular socks would cause. Before finding these, I would have to buy bunion padding (even though I didn't have them), just to protect the sides and tops of my toes from the steel. Absolutely love these, and refuse to put my work boots on without them. I work 6 days a week, sometimes 12 hr shifts ...and my first set of socks lasted me over a year!

Talk of the TownJanuary 31,2013
Wait, previews!
BARRE The non-shovel portion of the City Place groundbreaking was held in one of the movie theaters at the Paramount on Wednesday morning. The theater was packed with scores of people involved in the project and even a couple of citizens eager to see what the fuss was about. Moments before the event was to start, as Mayor Thomas Lauzon was finalizing his remarks at the podium, located just under the movie screen, someone from the audience pointed out that the saga of City Place could be a movie.
Moments later, when Lauzon addressed the crowd, he pointed out that despite the venue, no movie was to be shown. Not even previews.
But someone in the audience called out, But it is coming attractions.
Tell me a story
PLAINFIELD Cutler Memorial Library has a new way for readers in Plainfield to recommend a good book: Stop by the library and do a one-minute video review that will be posted on the librarys Facebook page. Its easy. Its fun. And people can see and hear why you thought the latest thriller was, well, so thrilling.
Pretty random
BARRE If youve driven through downtown Barre recently youve no doubt noticed the massive contraption just beyond the large gallery window at Studio Place Arts.
Were told it is part cardboard, part Rube Goldberg machine, and part flight of fantasy. It has a tongue-twisting name the Randomizojustificator and a creator Ben Matchstick and his associates from the Cardboard Tech Instantute.
But what is it?
Why, an interactive sculpture, of course. One that was installed in the Thinking Out of the Box exhibit, which includes a variety of art made from cardboard.
The basic operation of the Randomizojustificator is about as straightforward as youd expect: Inscribe a quandary; take three orbs (theyre glass marbles, but orbs sounds so much more mystical); swallow all saliva; lower the lightning bolt; and load three orbs with intention.
Of course its worth remembering justification may require interpretation, and thats where Matchstick comes in.
If youre feeling unjustified and want to do something about it, Matchsticks next performances at SPA with the Randomizojustificator will be Saturday from 2:30 to 4 p.m.
Hell be back Feb. 9 (also a Saturday) from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Were told there will be a free cardboard art activity for children preceding that performance (call SPA at 479-7069 to reserve a space for your child).
SPA Director Sue Higby says she has yet to be justified, but apparently that has more to do with Mother Nature than Matchstick.
With the extreme cold last week, I was concerned that I needed all of the saliva I could conserve, says Higby, who doesnt sound terribly invested in her excuse.
Perhaps Im just justifying why I havent yet been properly justified by the Randomizojustificator, she says.

Brisbane just too damp for Keith's concert
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 28, 2013
KEITH Urban was last night forced to postpone a scheduled concert in Brisbane as Queensland continued to be battered by cyclonic winds and torrential rain.
As the low pressure system was expected to hit the Sunshine State's capital in the evening, tour promoters Chugg Entertainment were left no choice but to cancel the performance, which is part of Urban's seven-date east coast tour The Story So Far.
The gig will now take place at Brisbane's Entertainment centre tonight, when the weather bureau predict the storms will calm.
"Keith's priority is his fans and we want everyone to be safe," promoter Michael Chugg said yesterday. "Whilst we held hope that we could proceed this evening as planned, the weather circumstances have trumped our best intentions."

An alcoholic beverage (usually beer or perhaps malt liquor) consumed inside a moving vehicle. This beverage can be consumed by passenger, driver, or both. Road sodas are illegal in most states due to open container laws. Still, they are widely enjoyed as evidenced by all the beer cans littering rural raodsides.

All brand new and perfect; no mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special, like a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads, and won't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know it's wrong in the first place. Maybe… you'll end up like me. A hobo with a shotgun. I hope you can do better. You are the future."''-->-- '''The Hobo''', to a group of newborn babiesThe 2011 film '''''Hobo With A Shotgun''''' started out as a [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake movie trailer]] in ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'', but thanks to independent filmmakers from [[UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} Dartmouth, Nova Scotia]], it became the second ''[=Grindhouse=]'' trailer (after ''Film/{{Machete}}'') to get converted into a full film.An elderly, nameless hobo (Creator/RutgerHauer) arrives in the city of Hope Town, a run-down dystopian sprawl. The Hobo only wants to eke out a humble life in the city, but thanks to The Drake (the depraved crime boss who [[IOwnThisTown controls the city]]), urban decay runs rampant and violence has become a way of life. Tension builds as The Hobo tries to co-exist with the city-wide corruption, but when circumstances push him over the edge, he picks up a twelve-gauge and delivers bloody justice to the city's criminals.The film's is a broad [[{{Gorn}} and grotesque]] pastiche of the VigilanteJustice sub-genre of exploitation cinema (represented by films such as ''Film/DeathWish''), with some surprisingly subtle flourishes mixed into the outlandish mayhem. ----!! ''Hobo with a Shotgun'' contains examples of the following tropes:* AbnormalAmmo: One of the members of the Plague, Grinder, carries a spear gun that fires a short spear up into the ceiling, pulling along a short rope tied around any of their unfortunate victims' necks that quickly strangles them to death, essentially being a "gallows gun".* AbusiveParents: Drake to Ivan.* AerithAndBob: Drake's sons, Ivan and Slick.* AffectionateParody: Of exploitation films, especially those focusing on revenge stories.* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Slick, who gleefully maims a kid who owes him money, but then ''shoves the poor kid's face into a pile of cocaine''. That Slick would casually wander around with such a big pile of cocaine is, of course, yet another of the over-the-top touches that make this film what it is.* AlasPoorVillain: Slick gets a surprisingly emotional send-off when he [[spoiler:calls his father begging for help, and they end up comforting each other before he dies]]. * AntiHero: The hobo is a SociopathicHero, of the PayEvilUntoEvil variety.* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: What kind of a pawn shop keeps a loaded shotgun where anyone can grab it? [[MST3KMantra Then again, considering the type of movie this is.]]* {{Badass}}: The Hobo. Abbey becomes one of these too, by the end.* BadassBiker: The Plague drive motorcycles.* BadassBystander: Subverted by a random doctor, who flips out and opens fire on the Plague when they first burst into his hospital. He gets gutted for his troubles, but at least he had the balls to attack TheDreaded head-on.* BadassGrandpa: The hobo, of course.* BadSanta: The pedophile in the Santa suit, who the hobo kills early on.* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler:Abby gets a nasty neck wound after she's almost decapitated, and later she loses a hand.]] Her face doesn't suffer one bit.* BerserkButton: The hobo doesn't like people calling Abby a prostitute, having deluded himself into believing,''"SHE'S A TEACHER!"''* BigBad: Drake.* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Hobo gives his life to kill Drake and ensure that the citizens who have come to his aid fire the first shots on the corrupt police force. Abby is alive but has lost a hand and spends the end of the film hysterically screaming, and the remaining Plague member claims she'll become a member of them soon [and in the alternate ending included on the Blu-Ray, she does]. The town may live or die in the ensuing violence, but either way the tyranny of Drake's crime family has ended.]]* BlasphemousBoast: Drake claims to know more about suffering than God, because when God's son died, He came back after a few days. The Hobo's response:-->You're a shitty father.* BloodBath: One of Drake's groupies showers in the spray of blood from a decapitated neck, while writhing ecstatically.* BloodFromTheMouth: The Hobo, after chewing glass* BloodSpatteredInnocents: Oh, Abby.* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Happens often whenever the Hobo blasts someone with his shotgun.* BottomlessMagazines: We never see the Hobo buy any shells, yet he never seems to run out. We do see him reload... once.* BusFullOfInnocents: Slick [[spoiler:torches a bus full of elementary school children with a flame thrower]] as a way of declaring war on the Hobo. [[spoiler:Then brings the charred skeleton of one of them onto the evening news to make the declaration directly.]] MoralEventHorizon, guys.* TheBrute: Ivan.* TheCaligula: Drake* CanadaDoesNotExist: The film is Canadian and shot in Canada. However, we never learn where Hope Town is, the currency is nondescript, the police symbols aren't quite clear, and so forth.* CaneFu: The Hobo does quite well with his walking stick before buying his shotgun.* ChekhovsGun: The Lawnmower, of all things.* ChildrenAreInnocent: When Slick asks the school bus full of children if they like things like school and hobos, the kids cheer enthusiastically. * ClusterFBomb: Everyone swears to the point of absurdity. Even emergency room nurses are screaming, "Live, you fucking whore!"* ColorCodedCharacters: Drake and his sons wear only black and white.* CombatPragmatist: As a person who is forced to make do with whatever he can find every day, Hobo has a talent for this. He wields his own walking stick as an effective bludgeon, [[spoiler:weaponizes his savings in a sock and incapacitates Ivan by electrocuting him with a toaster]].* CoolCar: Drake's sons drive around in a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1 Bricklin SV-1]].* CrapsackWorld: And how!* DeadLineNews: Drake and his sons invade a news broadcast, murder the newscaster, and wave a charred corpse at the camera before demanding that all the town's homeless be killed.* DirtyCop: There is exactly one non-corrupt cop in the movie (played by Scott Vrooman of ''Series/PicnicFace'' fame). [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in lines that made it in from the fake trailer:-->'''Rookie Cop''': At least he's only killing the dirty cops.\\'''Dirty Cop''': We're all dirty cops!* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:Slick, in the school bus he set on fire]].* TheDragon: Though at first they seem like CoDragons, Slick quickly proves more pivotal to the plot, wanting to become a DragonAscendant.* DragonTheirFeet: Rip is still alive when Drake gets his come-uppance. In fact, he's never seen again after walking off during the climax.* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Drake to Slick. Not so much for [[TheUnfavourite Ivan]], though.* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The eponymous hobo is never named; He even shows up in the credits as "hobo."* EvilDuo: Slick and Ivan. Then later, the hitmen Rip and Grinder, a.k.a. The Plague.* EvilIsHammy: Drake and sons, as best exemplified in the first seven minutes wherein they execute Drake's brother in broad daylight with a passionate speech. Afterward?--> '''Ivan:''' Go the fuck home everyone! And don't forget to wash your dicks!* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Hope Town police, [[DirtyCop who are mostly corrupt]], were angered when Drake destroys Abby's hand.* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a hobo... with a shotgun.* FacingTheBulletsOneLiner: [[spoiler:We're taking a car ride to hell, ''and you're riding shotgun!'']]* TheFaceless: Rip and Grinder, aka the Plague, whose faces are never seen beneath their metal armor.* {{Fingore}}: Severely to [[spoiler: Abby]] near the end of the film. It's more like the [[spoiler:entire hand...]]* {{Foreshadowing}}: ** The hobo's [[IceCreamKoan borderline-nonsensical]] parable to Abby about bears clawing the faces off people who get too close. [[spoiler:It wasn't actually torn off, but...]]*** Possibly inspired by the Kipling poem "The Truce of the Bear".** When Slick hassles the kid for the money he owes him, he's playing an arcade game called ''The Plague''. Footage of gameplay has the player controlling Grinder.* ForgingScene: Also involving the lawnmower.* GenreThrowback: To old 1970s and 1980s ExploitationFilm.* GroinAttack: Repeatedly. Perhaps most notably when the hobo does this to Slick: [[spoiler:he kills him by shooting his prick off]].* {{Gorn}}: Everywhere. ''Everywhere''.* HarpoonGun: Rip's choice of weapon, used to great effect when they storm the hospital.* HiddenDepths: When [[spoiler:Slick]] is bleeding to death, he calls [[spoiler: the Drake, (who normally treats him like a favorite employee rather than a son)]] and the two say heartfelt goodbyes in a shockingly human moment for both of them.* {{Hobo}}: With a shotgun.* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Abby, who apparently took to prostitution due to lack of opportunities in her crapsack town.* HopeSpot: About halfway through the film Abby and the Hobo make plans to leave town and start a lawnmower business. Yeah, [[FromBadToWorse that doesn't work out]].* HumanoidAbomination: The Plague are strongly implied to be [[spoiler:demons]], and even when one of them is being [[spoiler:vivisected by a lawnmower]], we still never see anything besides his armor. They don't even have red blood.* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ivan uses ice skates as both a thrown weapon and attached to his feet for kicking. Yes, it's a Canadian film all right.* ImprovisedWeapon: Abby uses [[spoiler:her ''arm bone'' against Drake, after her hand is shredded off]].* InfantImmortality: Zigzagged through the film: the Hobo manages to save the crying baby in the Pawn Shop holdup, but [[spoiler:the children in the film usually get set on fire, as the anti-homeless rioters set a homeless mom and her baby on fire, and Slick torching a bus of children after they declare their support for the hobo.]]* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: By the end, Rip has walked away without paying for any of the gruesome murders he's perpetrated. It's even worse in the Alternate Ending, where Abby is turned into the promised replacement.]]* KillThePoor: {{Invoked}} by the villains as a means to kill the vigilante hobo. They incite the [[TorchesAndPitchforks public to do the dirty work]], under the promise that not doing so will result in the villains [[WouldHurtAChild killing a lot of children]].* LargeHam: Drake's loud, insane, theatrical style of speech qualifies him as this.* LegacyCharacter: In the end, it's revealed that [[spoiler:you have to replace a member of the Plague if you kill him. This explains how the Plague seems responsible for taking out historical personalities like Lincoln and Jesus]].* LyricalDissonance: The end credits are from a Canadian children's ''[[TheRaccoons cartoon]]''.* MadeOfIron:** Ivan survives getting electrocuted so badly that his chin becomes charred.** The Hobo is able to chew glass without much reaction and barely seems to notice getting a word carved deeply into his chest. He gives a rambling explanation that he can just tell the pain to go away.* MilkingTheGiantCow: Drake does this a lot.* MoralEventHorizon: It's a lot harder to see Slick as the DracoInLeatherPants after he [[spoiler: incinerates a bus full of children]]. [[invoked]]* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Rip and Grinder.* NoNameGiven: The hobo.* NoWomansLand: to a ''serious'' degree. * OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Drake shoots Ivan when Abby tries to take him hostage.]]* OneHandedShotgunPump: In the original trailer.* [[PedoHunt Pædo Hunt]]: One of the rogues gallery of scum Hobo puts down is a ludicrously disgusting man dressed in a SantaClaus costume who openly preys upon and kidnaps small children in broad daylight.* ParentalFavoritism: By this point rather obviously, Drake favors Slick over Ivan.* PetTheDog: Rip lights a match for the Hobo to have a smoke during his confinement by The Plague.* {{Pun}}: One newspaper headline reads "Hobo stops begging - demands change."* PreAsskickingOneLiner:** "I'm making a Citizen's Arrest."** ''"I'm gonna sleep in your bloody carcasses TONIGHT!"'''* PreMortemOneLiner: Actually not very common in the movie, but used to great effect in the finale.* PsychoForHire: The Plague, a pair of contract killers who encase themselves in metal armor, live in a castle and have some sort of giant tentacle monster as a pet. They also apparently killed Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Charles Darwin, and ''Jesus''.* PsychoSupporter: Drake has a gang of groupies who run around in bikinis and enjoy violence just as much as he does. One girl dances in the RainOfBlood caused by Drake's execution of his brother, and later, they cheerfully beat on a human pinata Drake was holding prisoner. With [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill a razor-studded]] baseball bat, no less.* RainOfBlood: A woman [[{{Squick}} strips and dances in it.]] And it's in the first seven minutes!* ReactionaryFantasy: There is an appropriately 80s-era DrugsAreBad message that goes hand-in-hand with the film's style, and the Hobo is at least implied to be very morally old-fashioned and disgusted not just by the brutal crime he witnesses but also by the moral looseness of the town. * RecycledSoundtrack: The opening credits music, "Liebesthema", was used forty years earlier as the theme to the movie ''Mark of the Devil'', and the end credits music, "Run With Us", was first used as the theme to the cartoon ''TheRaccoons''.* RefugeInAudacity: Hoo boy.* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: After the Hobo tells Rip that Abby ain't going nowhere... Rip just leaves.]]* SignatureSoundEffect: Grinder's robotic hum, sounding a bit like, "Oing!"* ShamingTheMob: Done by Abby when facing down a mob that had been torching hobos and killing them earlier. [[spoiler:They come back to destroy the police force in the ending.]]* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: As the hobo's hell-raising antics demonstrate.* ShootTheHostage: Drake does this to [[spoiler: his own son Ivan]].* ShoutOut: The Plague dragging a coffin behind their bikes is similar to [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} Undertaker's schtick.]]* SinisterShades: Slick and Ivan wear Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses at almost all times to match their general retro look.* SkeletonGovernment: One can wonder why the National Guard hasn't arrived to evacuate everyone and burn the city to the ground.* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Drake does this.* SpitefulSpit: The hobo spits on the face of a pedophile dressed as Santa Claus in his car before blasting his brains out.* StylisticSuck: ** The film as a whole is a [=grindhouse=] tribute. The hobo often goes on nonsensical {{ice cream koan}}s, dramatic scenes have bizarre, overwrought, terrible dialogue, and... interesting faces are made during ridiculously implausible situations. ** ''The Plague'' videogame is a retro BeatEmUp* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The DirtyCop who commits the fatal mistake of pressing the Hobo's BerserkButton (see above), gets half a dozen shotgun shells pumped in his head and torso, until his upper body is reduced to a pile of blood and meat.--> '''Hobo''': SHE'S A TEACHER!* TitleDrop: ''"Maybe you'll end up like me, a hobo with a shotgun. Maybe you'll do better."''* TookALevelInBadass: Abby, who [[spoiler: singlehandedly kills Grinder ''and '' nearly puts the BigBad down for the count, and saves the hobo just before he's decapitated... with her goddamn forearm bone.]]* TragicHero: The Hobo lives an incredibly harsh life and is cruelly abused by society, despite being a genuinely kind and responsible man. His bouts of vigilante justice may come across as being deranged at times [[spoiler: but he makes the ultimate sacrifice in the name of justice and protecting those he cares for.]]* TheUnfavorite: Ivan just doesn't measure up to Slick [[spoiler: even when he's the only one left, and he gets executed by his father for it, unwittingly getting the Hobo a short reprieve]].* VaderBreath: Grinder, of The Plague.* VigilanteMan: The Hobo is so disgusted by the violence around him that he sacrifices his dream of starting a lawn mowing company to purchase a shotgun and go on a thug-murdering rampage.* WellDoneSonGuy: ** Slick wants his father's approval and to be a fitting heir to his legacy. Drake fully encourages this.** Ivan, TheUnfavorite, who is constantly demeaned, wants to be a fitting replacement for Slick in his father's eyes.* WhatTheHellHero: The pawn shop robber protests that he hasn't actually hurt anyone just before the Hobo blows his head off.* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Well, shotgun in this case.--> '''Abby''': You can't solve all the world's problems with a shotgun!--> '''Hobo''': It's all I know.* WhenLifeGivesYouLemons: Drake spins the phrase in his own hideous idiom to encourage his son.--> '''Drake''': When life gives you razor blades... you make a baseball bat. Covered in razor blades!* WorldGoneMad: Or at least, the ''entire fucking city.''* WouldHurtAChild: One of the pawnshop robbers is ready to shoot a baby and one of the hobo-killing townsfolk throws a molotov into a dumpster where a homeless child is living. But Slick takes the cake when he[[spoiler:burns a busload.]] He then threatens to wipe out every child in the city if the Hobo isn't killed.* WretchedHive: Hopetown is an impossibly violent and depraved place.* YourHeadASplode: Happens to everyone who the Hobo shoots in the head.* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: [[spoiler:After Abby kills Grinder, Rip says she has to take his place. The Hobo tells him he won't be doing that, and he walks off without a word. However, in the alternate ending, she's converted into Grinder's replacement]].----

This just started a day ago which is really odd. I think the only change has been an update to Jetpack when this started.
My contact form (using jetpacks contact form) is now emailing to a completely wrong email address (my personal one under a different account).
I can't figure out where or why it is pulling this address from. If I try a manual email address setting in the contact form options (pointing to the correct address) it saves, the address disappears and still does not send emails to the address I want.

My time at the Wildlife Rescue Canada project was a great volunteer abroad experience! The animals were great and I got to work with so many different species! Also the we all lived to together as one big volunteer group family playing frisbee on the big field after work is a great ending to everyone's hard working day. But also the area is wonderful, at the edge of a national park we are basically surrounded by nature.
Volunteering at a remote little Makushi village in Guyana on the opposite side of the world to where i call home has been the best decision of my life to date. The villagers are warm and welcoming, as interested in you as you are in them. Being a volunteer rather then a tourist gave me the chance to really experience the culture and get to know the people, many of who i still keep in contact with. Working alongside the teachers in the small primary school is an experience i will never forget, there was a lot more laugher and fun then what i remember of my schooling! As well working in the school i was able to participate in camping and day trips along the river. The amount of wildlife i was able to view was amazing with baby Caiman being a highlight. This program was a once in a lifetime experience that i hope to do again soon!"
Trevor Buller from Canada took part in our Amazon Guide volunteer program in Brazil: The whole experience was amazing! They were such a loving family and i learned so much being with them. I picked up a whole lot of the portuguese too, which i'm using quite successfully in Paulinia, Sao Paulo, Brazil. If you want the full run down, i kept a log of my travels by posting in a blog everyday - trevorsouthamerica.blogspot.ca I put a bunch of pictures there too. Anyway, hope you're doing well.

Homes sought for museum artifactsSTAFF REPORT | December 04,2012The owners of the Vermont Marble Museum indicated Monday that they will move forward with plans to close the museum now that an effort to find a buyer has failed.
The Preservation Trust of Vermont came up short in its effort to raise $880,000 to buy the Proctor museum, which chronicled the history of the Vermont Marble Co.
Faced with an end-of-the-year deadline, the nonprofit historical group was able to raise only $200,000.
The Preservation Trust came forward this summer with the fundraising offer after the owners of the museum, Marsha and Martin Hemm, announced they would close the museum at the end of the year.
The Hemms said in an email Monday that they and their employees are very saddened that we are not able to continue on the road that we had planned with the Preservation Trust. But we are extremely appreciative for the immense amount of work that they did on behalf of the museum and the collection.
The Hemms said they would continue their efforts to find the proper homes for the museum records and artifacts.
The museums gift shop remains open part time most days during the Christmas season.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

I am building a library as an inheritance to my children and I will definitely include that book in my collection. I have studied the Irish slave history in America as well. You might be interested to know that part of the reason this is not so well known is because the slave traders made no distinction between Blacks and Irish. Slavery came in many forms during this time period and no story should go untold. I hope that your reason for bringing this up was to honor the people that went through it and not to somehow denigrate the blacks that went through it as well.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- A new study has found that black West Virginians have substantially higher poverty rates and earn considerably lower salaries than white residents across the state.
The study released Tuesday also says blacks face higher unemployment and infant mortality rates than whites across the state.
The "Legacy of Inequality: Racial and Economic Disparities in West Virginia" study is based on census data.
It was compiled by the partnership of African American churches, the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy and the American Friends Service Committee.
The Rev. James Patterson says all West Virginians pay the price for such inequities.
He urged state leaders to take steps to correct them, including the creation of a state office of minority affairs.

[Check her out she's got some pretty good shiZ]
Updating stories might... not work so awesomely when school starts since I go to this weird school that keeps you in for 9 hours. Not to mention the daily tests and exams we get Dx
Horror and supernatural stories aren't my thing but I do love high school romance related stories, no matter how cliche they may be. (:

I only like sweet wines. This was suggested to me and upon trying it, I fell in love. literally. The bottle was gone before I realized it.
If you like drinking sugary soda, then stick with it. This is not a good representation of sparkling wine but a good choice for those who love selections like White Zinfandel. A great sparkling wine for only a little more $ is Domaine Chandon. It's the American sister of Moet Chandon and made by the true methode champenoise. If you still want it "sweeter", add peach puree and make it a Bellini.

Aviva Canada Profile
Aviva Canada Inc. is one of the leading Property and Casualty insurance groups in Canada, providing home, automobile and business insurance and premier claims service to more than 3 million customers. Aviva and the Aviva logo are registered trademarks of Aviva plc. and are licensed by Aviva Canada Inc. for use by its family of companies which include: Aviva Insurance Company of Canada, Pilot Insurance Company, Elite Insurance Company, Traders General Insurance Company, Scottish & York Insurance Company and S&Y Insurance Company.
Aviva insurance quotes are available on InsuranceHotline.com for auto and property insurance through a network of licensed insurance brokers who subscribe to our service.
Aviva's home offices are located in the United Kingdom. They are the sixth largest insurance company in the entire world. They have actually only grown to such large numbers since the year of 2000. At the beginning, they were known as CGNU to most people. The name Aviva was chosen from the Latin word 'viva', which means 'life.' The new name was voted into existence by shareholders in the year 2002. Since then, the company hasn't really looked back.
If you were to actually trace this company back as far as you could, you'd find that it has a long and rich history that goes as far back as 1696. The company was then known as Hand in Hand Fire and Life and was located in London, England. It seems hard to believe that people in 1696 were thinking about insurance but it is a good thing for Aviva that they were. The company has grown and moved through many changes and transitions since those days.
In the late 1990′s two British giants in the industry combined. They were known as General Accident and Commercial Union. After becoming Aviva, the company has also acquired other companies to grow to the size that they are today. With approximately 43 million customers, located in 21 countries, Aviva is now a world giant.
RAC was acquired in 2005. This was part of recovery operation for a failing company. In 2006, Aviva was able to make their presence known in the US market by acquiring AmerUs Group. This was another company that had a long history, having been founded in the year 1896.
Aviva also showed some business management intelligence by cutting loose part of their operation in the Australian market. They were able to sell "Navigator" (a business for wealth building) to National Australia Bank for the enormous sum of A$825 million. This would equate to approximately 401 million British pounds. With this sort of business savvy, it is no wonder that the company has survived longer than virtually any other business in the world.
In 2011, they were able to complete the recovery operation that they set-out to do with RAC. They were able to sell the company for a cool 1 billion British pounds. The Carlyle Group made this purchase. This hefty deal helped to push Aviva into greatness and there is no doubt that this insurance industry giant is in it for the long haul. They have staying power and financial clout to back them as far as they wish to go.
If you are looking for a company to do business with, there's no doubt that this company is great. They are serious, professional and results oriented. Most people couldn't ask for much more when seeking a company to put their trust in. You pay them a small amount for a larger amount assurance that you'll be taken care of. You really cannot put a price on peace of mind. With Aviva, you really can't go wrong.

Peter Cole
|Peter Cole
Paterson, New Jersey
|Alma mater
|Williams College;
Hampshire College
|Poetry; Translation
|Adina Hoffman
Peter Cole (born 1957) is an American Jewish poet and translator who lives in Jerusalem and New Haven.
Early life[edit]
Cole was born in 1957 in Paterson, New Jersey. He attended Williams College and Hampshire College, and moved to Jerusalem in 1981.
Literary career[edit]
Cole's first book of poems, Rift, was published in 1989, and Hymns & Qualms in 1998. The two volumes were reissued in the UK as What is Doubled: Poems 1981-1988. Things on Which I've Stumbled was published in the fall of 2008.
Cole's work as both a poet and a translator reflects a sustained engagement with the cultures of Judaism and especially of the Middle East. He is, Eliot Weinberger has written "an urban poet whose city is Jerusalem; a classicist whose Antiquity is medieval Hebrew; a sensualist whose objects of delight are Mediterranean; an avant-gardist whose forms are the meditation, the song, the jeremiad, the proverb." [1] The American Poet noted that "prosodic mastery fuses with a keen moral intelligence" in Cole's work, which the reviewer says is distinctive for its unfashionable engagement with wisdom and beauty.[2] Other reviewers have noted the "politically charged" nature of the verse,[3] and Harold Bloom has observed that "with Things on Which I've Stumbled [Cole] matures into one of the handful of authentic poets in his own generation." [4]
Cole has also worked intensively on Hebrew literature, with special emphasis on medieval Hebrew poetry. His 2007 anthology, The Dream of the Poem: Hebrew Poetry in Muslim and Christian Spain, 950-1492 (Princeton)—recipient of the National Jewish Book Award and winner of the American Publishers Association's award for Book of the Year—traces the arc of the entire period. Poet and translator Richard Howard described Cole's work as "an entire revelation: a body of lyric and didactic verse so intense, so intelligent, and so vivid that it appears to identify a whole dimension of historical consciousness previously unavailable to us." [5] The New York Times Book Review wrote that "his versions are masterly." [6]
In 2008, Cole combined and collected Hebrew literary works to create Hebrew Writers on Writing (Trinity University Press) which delves into their reflections on writing and explores the issues of national, linguistic, and ethnic identity.[7]
Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza, a nonfiction book co-authored with his wife Adina Hoffman, was published in 2011 by Schocken Books and tells the story of the recovery from a Cairo geniza (or repository for worn-out texts) of the most vital cache of Hebrew manuscripts ever discovered. A review in The Nation characterized it as a "A literary jewel whose pages turn like those of a well-paced thriller, but with all the chiseled elegance and flashes of linguistic surprise that we associate with poetry." [8]
Cole has also translated contemporary Hebrew and Arabic poetry and fiction by Aharon Shabtai, Yoel Hoffmann, Taha Muhammad Ali, Avraham Ben-Yitzhak, and others.
Cole, who has taught and been a visiting artist at Yale, Wesleyan, and Middlebury, is one of the founders and editors of Ibis Editions, a small press devoted to the publication of the literature of the Levant.[9]
Translation and editing philosophy[edit]
Cole believes that "helping things say what they seem to want to say, or are 'bound' to say," is central to his work as an editor and translator. He regards language as sacred, or a reflection of the sacred, and describes care for language as a moral and metaphysical act that "takes one into the weave of being." [10]
Personal life[edit]
He is married to Adina Hoffman, an essayist and biographer.[11]

Suspects have the right to refuse the scan, but deputies say if they have probable cause, they can still make an arrest and take fingerprints back at the jail. (WRDW-TV / June 14, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, June 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Deputies in Richmond County are now hitting the streets with some new technology: electronic fingerprint scanners. They are hoping to make the identification process in the field safer and faster.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office received about $22,000 in grant money for 10 new Rapid ID scanners. The goal is to both identify people who have something to hide and eliminate people who don't.
Stephen Reneke, a project manager with Data Works Plus, helped install the scanners for RCSO on Thursday.
"The idea is that these are connected to the laptops [deputies] use in their car. It's wirelessly connected," he said.
The fingerprint is transmitted to the GBI database in Atlanta, and the results are back within seconds.
"So then once they get a 'hit' or a 'no hit,' they can come onto their laptop here and see the results," he said.
Reneke says deputies with more than 50 Georgia agencies are now using the devices to identify people who lied about their names or to rule out suspects without having to haul them into jail.
Some departments have also used the fingerprint scanners to identify dead bodies or people who are unconscious during a medical emergency.
"It names places a person's been booked before. They'll be able to see outstanding warrants. Parole and probation information and sex offender information," he said.
It's not a full criminal background, Reneke explained, but basic information for identification.
Lt. Jimmy Young with the Criminal Investigations Division added, "It won't be used on every person. But basically one of the primary factors will be when someone cannot produce identification and a deputy has a justifiable cause for your encounter with them, you're trying to establish their identity, and it appears that they're trying to mislead you as to who they are."
Suspects have the right to refuse the scan, but deputies say if they have probable cause, they can still make an arrest and take fingerprints back at the jail.
"We have been given some additional grant monies and actually have five more units that will be coming in the next several weeks," Young said.
They are hoping this new technology will streamline the process of holding the people they need to hold and sending the rest on their way.
There are 10 wireless scanners in the field and two more back at the jail. Two more will be at the entrance and exit of the jail as an added precaution when booking in and releasing inmates.

The Stamford Stomper[1]
Anthony C. "Tony" Altomare[a] (July 24, 1928 - February 18, 2003) was an American professional wrestler, trainer, and marketer. He is perhaps best known as one half of the tag team "The Sicilians" with Lou Albano, from his debut in 1960 to 1970.
Early life[edit]
Anthony C. Altomare was born on July 24, 1928 in Stamford, Connecticut to Frank and Pauline Altomare (née Vescio). He was the oldest of four children: brothers Peter and Robert and sister Madeline. At the age of 18, Altomare enlisted in the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division, where he served for two years. It was during this time that his mother died, and he became something of a parent to his youngest brother Robert, who was only three at the time. Anthony and Peter, later joined by Robert, became lifeguards for Stamford's West Beach, where he would eventually rise to become the city's chief lifeguard for a 25-year tenure. During this time, he instituted free swimming lessons to the public and saved at least several lives. He married Mollie Gawitt of Stamford, and had two children, Brian and Donna.[2]
Altomare's work as a lifeguard led to a career in entertainment. He appeared in 1964's The Horror of Party Beach, which was shot at West Beach. More importantly, he was recruited into the world of professional wrestling by a promoter who noted his impressive physique.[3]
Professional wrestling career[edit]
As a wrestler, Altomare was paired with Lou Albano, another Italian, in a stereotypical Italian gangster duo known as "The Sicilians." The pair won the Midwest tag team championship on the undercard of the June 30, 1961 Comiskey Park event starring Pat O'Connor and Buddy Rogers that set the all-time record gate in the United States to that point. Their realistic depiction of gangster characters caught the attention of actual mafiosi in 1961. In Chicago, Tony Accardo and two associates "requested" that Albano and Altomare cease using the word "mafia." During their run as Midwest tag team champions, personal differences with bookers and other wrestlers resulted in the pair abandoning the territory quickly enough that they did not lose the title before leaving.[4] In July 1967, they won the WWWF United States Tag Team Championship from Arnold Skaaland and Spiros Arion.[5] Albano and Altomare held the championship for two weeks.
After Albano became a manager in 1970, Altomare continued as a singles wrestler, until retiring sometime before 1979. He then worked as a road agent and referee. In 1979, Vince McMahon, Sr. assigned Altomare to be the chaperone of a new and unruly wrestler named Hulk Hogan. Altomare befriended Hogan and thus frequently let Hogan do as he please, including partying and drinking before matches.[6] Nonetheless, Altomare taught Hogan the basics of the wrestling business, in and outside the ring, and in his autobiography, Hogan called Altomare's appointment as his chaperone "one of the best gifts McMahon ever gave me."[7]
In 1980, Altomare filled in for Afa in a three-on-three match alongside Sika and his old partner, Lou Albano, ten years after the breakup of The Sicilians. The two remained friends for life.
Later, Altomare was promoted to a low-level executive position within Vince McMahon, Jr.'s new WWF promotion. He was responsible for ensuring the arrival and sale of WWF-branded merchandise at wrestling shows. In 1984, he opened a wrestling school in Orange, Connecticut called "The Factory," where he trained later superstars such as Ted Arcidi, Paul Roma, and Doc Butler and established a training relationship with Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels.[8]
Tony Altomare died in Stamford of heart failure on February 18, 2003, at the age of 74. He was survived by his wife and two children, and was buried in Spring Grove cemetery in Darien, Connecticut.[9]

On 27th October I paid Guerrilla a deposit for the development of a Wordpress Website Design, also sending the design files and a front end specification. Guerrilla/Mike Smith had estimated to have a working prototype to me within 3 days.
I had no contact from Guerrilla/Mike Smith, despite sending several emails until 2 November when Guerrilla/Mike Smith again said that he expected delivery to me within a couple of days. On 7 November, after again hearing nothing from him I contacted Guerrilla/Mike Smith. He promised a link the next day (8 November). I contacted AGAIN on 10 November and then again on 12 November at which point he provided a link - it was however not working and there was nothing to see.
He had apparently 'left the maintenance mode on'. Considering Guerrilla/Mike Smith is paid to deliver websites, I would expect that they would at least check such simple things before provisioning a link. I contacted him informing him of the problem and Guerrilla/Mike Smith provided a following link the next day - once again, it was not working. This time, it threw up a programming error. Again, I would expect such things to be checked. The last contact I had was 15 November.
I still have not seen anything working. I threatened to open a dispute on 18 November and heard nothing back.
Guerrilla have taken $250 and provided nothing in return. Research shows this is not uncommon for them:

Karthi calling Karthik!
The actor is now pinning his hopes and looks sure-footed with the release of his upcoming film Naan Mahan Alla. Recently, the entire crew addressed media channels about the film. When asked about Karthi"s role in this film, director Susindran uttered, "It"s almost the same as Karthik"s role in Mani Ratnam's Mouna Raagam. He plays the role of Jeeva, a devil-may-care guy, who has no worries until an unexpected encounter changes his course of life…"
Though the film focalizes on a serious father-son drama laced with the criminal backdrops of Chennai, director Susindran assures that Naan Mahan Alla contains 100% entertainment factors with the right mix of comedy, romance, action and sentiments.

VIDEO: Highlights from games played Feb. 3
Cufrry blisters Wizards for 51 | Nowitzki disagrees with Abdul-Jabbar's assessment | Report: Rockets unlikely to deal Howard | Report: Dunleavy to return Saturday | Caldwell-Pope injured vs. Celtics
No. 1: Curry breaks out of his 'slump', torches Wizards — Entering last night's road game against the Washington Wizards, reigning MVP Stephen Curry had 21 games of 30 points or more, but hadn't broken the 30-point barrier in three games. Is that considered a slump when you're averaging close to 30 points per game in a season? Who knows. What is certain is Curry showed he hasn't lost his touch, abusing the Wizards for 51 points and 11 3-pointers (one off tying the NBA single-game record) writes, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Stephen Curry just kind of left this hanging out there: "Maybe next time."
That's what he said after he made eight three-pointers in three quarters against the Lakers on Jan. 14, falling four shy of Kobe Bryant's and Donyell Marshall's single-game record.
His comment seemed innocuous until "next time" arrived.
On Wednesday at the Verizon Center, the arc opened up enough for Curry to hoist 16 three-point attempts, and because he often made the rim look the size of a hula hoop, he strutted away with 11 three-pointers in a 134-121 victory over the Wizards in front of a national TV audience.
"I missed one too many," Curry joked. "At the end of the game, I knew I was within reach, and I was kind of searching, without trying to force it. You can't mess around with the basketball gods, trying to chase records, if the game doesn't call for it."
If averaging 16.7 points on 37.9 percent three-point shooting in his previous three games constituted a slump for the MVP, his 51-point game — giving him four 50-point performances in his career — certainly constitutes a slump breaker.
"I didn't know Steph was in a slump," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. "Steph is never in a slump. He was just scintillating tonight."
"I said, 'Here he goes,'" interim head coach Don Newman said of Curry's fast start. "I knew it, because that's what they usually do. I mean, they come out and they just want to kill you."
Curry thrilled the crowd, then his bench, and finally himself with a flurry of three-pointers in the first quarter. The fans got louder and louder as he made his first four three-point shots. Andre Iguodala bowed to him from the scorer's table when he knocked down No. 5, and Curry didn't really know how to react act following his sixth.
Curry swiped a dribble from Wall in the backcourt and corralled the ball about 25 feet from the rim on the right wing. Why not launch it? He tracked the arc of the ball like a baseball player enjoying a towering home run from the batter's box, and then started spinning into a happy dance.
He finished the first quarter with 25 points — his seventh 20-point quarter of the season. He made 7 of 8 three-point attempts and was well on his way to his single-season record of 10 games with at least eight three-pointers. George McCloud previously held the record with six such games.
"The shots that you know feel good, they go in, and the shots that you think, 'Oh, that's off,' they go in," Curry said. "It's a fun feeling, and you want to ride it until you can't anymore."
"We watch it on TV every day, and you're like, 'Ah, it's not like that,'" Washington forward Otto Porter said. "But when he does it against you, it's eye-opening for you."

my website was working fine,just when i got the notification of new version of wordpress (3.3) i clicked to upgrade and i am not able to access my admin page...
plzzz help me on this.
Do you get any error messages in your browser that indicate what might be going on? Can you share a link to your site?
Also please give the "Troubleshooting WordPress 3.3 - Master List" a read, there may be something that could help you out.
HTTP 500 InternalServer Error
The above error i get when i tried logging in for admin page.
You may provide us your website url and we may assist you.
Try the easy stuff first. You can't login via the web admin so start with the plugins.
Using FTP or SSH rename the
wp-content/plugins directory to
wp-content/plugins-old and see if that does lets you in.
If that works then create a new
wp-content/plugins directory and put your plugins back one at a time until you get problem re-occurs. That should let you find out where the problem is.
i tried the above stuff
it shows me PHP error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_update_data() in /home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/wp-admin/menu.php on line 34
got the same problem as here, after renaming plugins directory as shown, when i log to wp-admin i have to update my database ... -> Click and see only worpress logo on white page ... nothing more. Any help ?
Check your blog's
error_log file to see what's causing PHP do white screen of death like that.
It sounds like you've taken care of your plugins but your theme may be the issue. Since you can't get into the admin pages try renaming the
wp-content/themes/your-theme directory.
Once that's done, try to get into your admin pages.
Also read up on the master list you may be a match for one of those issues.
what if i replace wp-admin folder with new wp-admin folder og wordpress3.2.1 ,will it solve my problem...
coz i don't any have back up of my website..
what if i replace wp-admin folder with new wp-admin folder og wordpress3.2.1 ,will it solve my problem...
Uh, don't do that. The 3.2.1
wp-admin files won't match 3.3
wp-includes. That might make it worse.
If you've renamed the
plugins directory and renamed your theme directory...
I'm really hesitant to suggest this but you could try backing up everything first (seriously, don't skip making a backup!), then delete everything except
wp-content and
wp-config.php. Put 3.2.1 on top of that and see if that works for you.
If something goes really wrong, then restore that backup.
Before you do ANYTHING else, find the .htaccess file in wordpress's root directory and rename it, then try to access your site again.
Internal Server errors are nearly always related to an .htaccess problem.
If you get access to your site back, go to the Permalink section of the settings tab and re-save your settings to generate a new .htaccess file.
Thank you everybody...specially Jan Dembowski & kionae for helping on this issue.now i am able access everything in website, thanks a lot
Happy New Year !!!

Sure, a decent pair of headphones does the job very well for one person, but these utterly fail as speakers.
