he wasn't given the opportunities that robinson was given. robinson also had an air of invincibility. he never lost to a welterweight. he's the least flawed of all fighters by a long shot. he had great (not good, but great,) speed, and power, and a great chin.
he fought johnson, for instance, but only when he was a youngster. when johnson was HW champion langford couldn't get a fight with him

My knowledge on pre-80s boxing is severely limited but I don't see how anyone could be above a guy who beat ATGs from lightweight to heavyweight. Insane achievement.

Ah, so even though he didn't get to fight other great heavyweights that were ducking him, he still gets #1 P4P consideration. Talk about in good company.

sam was skilled and also a physical freak enjoying a very long reach for a man only 5'6 and I imagine he was very strong similar to dwight braxton(the fellow that holyfield claims gave him his toughest challange)

to add to the thread, sam fought jack johnson when he was comparatively green and gave him fits. johnson later ducked/refused a rematch. this is a quote of johnson from the book Jack Johnson: My Life and Battles:
"In April 1906, Sam Langford and I met for 15 rounds in Chelsea, Mass., and I found him to be one of the toughest opponents I had ever faced in the ring. 1 weighed 190 pounds at the time and Langford only 138. In the second round, the little ****** landed a terrific right hand on my jaw and I went down like I had been hit by a cannonball. Never in my entire pugilistic career, neither before or since, have I taken a punch that landed with that much force. It was all I could do to get back on my feet by the time the referee was about to say "Ten!". I managed to do that but I can assure you that I felt the effects of that punch for the rest of the fight. I realised at that moment, that against a man like Langford, you can never let your guard down and that I needed to use all the skill I had. After 15 rounds, I was declared the winner on points."
he also said something to the effect of: "that ball of fire has a shot against anybody." (from memory, can someone find the real quote?)
although from what i gather johnson was prone to claiming one thing then asserting another. either way, the fact remains sam gave him one of his toughest fights.

The Atlantic City Council has until Nov. 21 to decide if Domenic Cappella, Scott Evans or Barbara Hudgins gets to be the city's next mayor, Superior Court Judge Valerie Armstrong ruled Wednesday, according to a report in the Press of Atlantic City.
An appeal is likely, said acting Mayor William Marsh, who said a conference on the matter is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. today with Armstrong. Armstrong in her decision sided with the Atlantic City Democratic Committee's arguments that it was improper for the court to interfere in the nominations of Business Administrator Cappella, committee Chairman Evans and former City Councilwoman Hudgins to succeed former Mayor Bob Levy, according to the report.

"Recorded during the same sessions as the Mad Rockers LP, with the same musicians, Bloody Rockers features more free jazz meets rock explorations by the Kühns and Co., plus a couple of incredibly groovy floorkillers. The album was only released in France back in 1969 and has never been reissued before. This edition comes in remastered sound (by mastering magician Denis Blackham @ Skye Mastering) and faithful reproduction of the original sleeve with backflaps. Jazz meets Rock, Funk and Psych, absolutely amazing groovy lp! With 1 song compiled on Andy Votel's The BYG Deal, the rest of the LP is equally good, though not always so groovy and more experimental" (label info)

Map warping at the New York Public Library
The NYPL Map Rectifier is a tool for digitally aligning ("rectifying") historical maps from the NYPL's collections to match today's precise maps. Visitors can browse already rectified maps or assist the NYPL by aligning a map. Play the video to tour the site and learn how to rectify a map yourself.
At Tuesday's Social Media Week event, Future Library: Socializing History with Maps, the New York Public Library's Geospatial Librarian, Matt Knutzen, explained how the Library has undertaken a project to align its collection of 10,000+ digitized historical maps of New York City to current, more accurate maps. What's particularly exciting is that the project is open to the public; anyone can help match old with new. With its Map Rectifier, "we can turn historical maps into spatial data," Knutzen explained. Users plot a few points on an older map that correspond with the latitude and longitude of a current day map. Using geo-rectification, a.k.a. map warping, old NYC streets, buildings, transportation, and landmarks come into focus within a contemporary framework.
This New York Public Library video provides a detailed tutorial on how to rectify a map's data.

Nasal attraction: How your nose can help you find a suitable partner
Recent scientific discoveries have shown that a woman's partner choice depends on personal chemistry. More specifically, the data demonstrates that information about genetic similarities is hidden within body odor and that this information can help in the selection of a partner. Just in time for Valentine's Day, this talk will reveal how this mechanism was discovered, how it works, and how it may impact our everyday lives.
Today at the Wagner Free Institute of Science of Philadelphia:

PopTech interview: Eduardo Porter on pricing education in India, fertilizer in Kenya and human life in Zimbabwe
Eduardo Porter is the author of The Price of Everything: Solving the Mystery of Why We Pay What We Do, in which he investigates the critical role prices play in shaping our lives, from having a baby to buying a car. To illustrate, his recent blog posts have included "The price of cheap food," "The price of a sleeping bag," "The price of a longer life" and "The price of a beer." PopTech spoke with Porter about determining a price tag for social change.
PopTech: What's your take on the sea-change in thinking about social innovation that's taken place over the past decade – a shift from traditional nonprofit approaches (Donor A pays for Service B for Constituent C, who is assumed to be incapable of paying for it themselves) to more market-friendly approaches, like microfinance and social entrepreneurship?
Eduardo Porter: There have been two extremely beneficial innovations in the way non-profits go about trying to effect social change. One is the use of market mechanisms and incentives to deliver valuable services to marginalized communities. Another is the use of field-testing to evaluate projects and determine how best to accomplish program goals.
Take education in rural India. A local NGO, Seva Mandir runs several schools in the region of Udaipur, reaching students that are not served by regular government schools. The NGO's schools suffered enormous absenteeism [by teachers]. On any given day, 44% of teachers wouldn't show up. Absenteeism has traditionally been combated by administrators keeping score of attendance and punishing slackers. But Seva Mandir addressed the problem in an innovative way: offering teachers an incentive to show up and introducing an impersonal instrument to monitor their presence: a camera with a time stamp.
What it did was replace the standard teacher wage of Rs. 1,000 rupees per month (about $22) for 21 days of teaching, with a base salary of Rs. 500 plus an extra Rs. 50 for each day they actually taught. That meant teachers' wages would range from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1300, depending on their attendance. To monitor their presence, a student was asked to photograph teachers with their students at the beginning and end of each school day.
Jules Verne predicted the future
…Tuesday would have been the 183rd birthday of Jules Verne. Had he lived to see 2011, the French science fiction writer also would have seen many of his fanciful inventions made real—more or less.
Check out National Geographic's slide show of 8 Jules Verne Inventions That Came True. The science fiction author predicted the submarine, lunar modules, skywriting, and the taser amongst many other seemingly off-the-wall ideas that have eventually been realized.

Birding gone social - with WildLab
The longest running citizen scientist project, entitled the Christmas Bird Count (CBC), was started 111 years ago by ornithologist Frank Chapman. As a less destructive version of the massive annual bird slaughter known as the Christmas "Side Hunt," it began with 27 men scouting 90 types of birds in 25 locations. In 2010, the CBC had grown to include 60,000 participants throughout the U.S. who noted 2,300 species comprised of 50,000,000+ birds. While a feel good activity for the whole family, the data collection is really quite valuable. Audubon Society and other organizations use data in this wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations – and to help guide conservation action. In fact, the EPA now uses the data as one of the 24 indicators of climate impact.
As indicated by the popularity of the CBC, bird watching happens to be one of the fastest growing hobbies in America. In fact, 1/3 of Americans would consider themselves birders. As a result, it's become a perfect entry point to get people excited about nature and science – and to make science social, explained naturalist and educator Gabriel Willow yesterday at Social Media Week's Research Gone Social: Leveraging the Web to Advance Scientific Discovery session. "The connection between scientists and technology can create a bridge for making science more accessible."
Leveraging the growing popularity of bird watching and people's increasing comfort with social media tools, Willow created WildLab, which uses iPhones as mobile data collection devices to gather information about birds and other wildlife. The app, as well as a five-part curriculum that's been conducted with 500 students in NYC schools, promotes STEM learning and generally gets people of all ages excited by the natural world. Sightings, GPS data and weather information collected by students – and participating citizen scientists who download the iPhone app – are entered into a database that can be used to better understand and track wildlife. Birders also send their sightings to eBird and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for use in scientific research.
Chris Jordan's got a new logo suggestion for Monsanto
Artist Chris Jordan's newest work, Proposed New Corporate Logo For Monsanto Company, 2011 is based on a painting by Josiah Lopez. Jordan elaborates:
In light of this week's sickening news about Monsanto's latest act of agri-piracy here in the U.S., I have decided to release one of my new pieces that I was otherwise planning on keeping in reserve for an exhibition.
The piece depicts 200,000 heirloom agricultural plant seeds, equal to the number of farmers in India who have committed suicide since 1997, when Monsanto introduced its genetically modified cotton seeds containing terminator technology into that region.

Kevin Starr demands impact
When Kevin Starr talks about philanthropy and his work with the Mulago Foundation, he keeps it simple and straight-forward. As the foundation's director, Starr is looking to fund the best scalable solutions to the biggest problems in the poorest places. No fancy mission statements or long grant proposals are necessary. As he described during his PopTech talk, he's seen too much money wasted on too many big problems to get swayed by the newest, flashiest, overhyped projects (One Laptop per Child, LifeStraw, and PlayPumps, for starters). In investigating potential grantees he wants to know whether they 1) know their mission, 2) measure the right thing and 3) measure it well.
Prior to his work at Mulago, Starr had been practicing medicine. When his friend and mentor, Rainer Arnhold, passed away suddenly while they were both working in Bolivia, the course of Starr's life shifted. In 1994, Arnhold's family asked Starr to maintain Rainer's life's work focusing on health, poverty, and conservation in the world's poorest places.
Speculative Futures
Futurology, the study of probable, desirable, imaginable and unimaginable futures is based on past and present day events and circumstances. As a practice, futurology (or Futures Studies) aggregates research to arrive at complex and purposeful views of the coming world. Sources as diverse as philosophy, economics, technology, criminology, and popular culture provide insight to futurologists. In the Bloomberg office, information is in a constant state of flux, flowing from what is tomorrow in London to what might be yesterday in Los Angeles. Given the fluid nature with which time and information is treated in this space, it easily can be interpreted as a futurological mothership for this exhibition.
Curated by Regine Basha and organized by the SculptureCenter, Speculative Futures features work by Julieta Aranda, Beth Campbell, Cao Fei and Ana Prvacki. It can be seen by appointment only onsite at the Bloomberg New York office through April 29, 2011. For more information on the exhibition, visit the SculptureCenter website.

Try your hand at designing a military vehicle
Local Motors, in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is hosting the Experimental Crowd-derived Combat-support Vehicle (XC2V) Design Challenge to rethink the development of military vehicles.
It is important to note that even though this is a militarily relevant vehicle, this is not an offensive fighting vehicle. The goal of this vehicle will be to transport items and/or people around quickly and efficiently in a potentially hostile but mobile environment.
The winning design will be developed into a working prototype. The winner will receive a cash prize and the opportunity to see his/her design turned into a functioning concept vehicle. The submission deadline for the contest is March 3, 2011 at 11:59 pm EST. More details are available at Local Motors.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Michael Mauti knows Penn State football. And Penn State football knows Michael Mauti.
The senior linebacker comes from a long line of former Penn State players. Mauti and his older brother, Patrick (2005-09) combined with their father, Rich, to join a long line of father-son tandems to play at Penn State over the past 50 years.
Mauti was all over the field in 2011 - making plays and causing havoc in the initial three games of last season.
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by STEVE?MANUEL
Tight end Garry Gilliam, center, tries to get past linebacker Gerald Hodges (6) and cornerback Stephon Morris during a Media Day workout at Penn State Thursday.
In those three contests, Mauti recorded 21 tackles, with three tackles for loss, one interception and three pass breakups. He had a career-high 13 tackles against No. 2 Alabama. Then, against Eastern Michigan, it ended abruptly.
Mauti tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. A sure-fire All-Big Ten selection would have to wait another year.
That year has come. And after playing only three games a year ago with standout Gerald Hodges, the duo is back and ready to work.
"We're excited to just get out there and show the fans and the Penn State people that we're ready to go," Mauti said.
With the recent NCAA sanctions levied against the program, there was concern to whether or not Mauti would return for his senior season and keep the tradition of Linebacker U alive. But thankfully for Penn State players and fans alike, there was no hesitation.
"There was not even a second thought," he said. "This is where my bloodline is and there was no way I could leave those guys and those coaches."
One of those guys he would be leaving was Hodges. Hodges, who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2011, will be reunited with Mauti to form one of the most dangerous linebacking corps in all of college football.
Combined, the duo recorded 24 tackles against Alabama. But that was only a stepping stone to where this group can be. And don't forget to add in Glenn Carson, who will round out the trio and make this defense an explosive one, Hodges said.
When future NFL stars Sean Lee and Navarro Bowman were at Penn State, the duo had a difficult time getting on the field together because of injuries. That's how Hodges feels about the situation between himself and Mauti. But once they get together, it could be something special.
"It's a great feeling for everyone to be healthy," Hodges said. "When (Lee and Bowman) had a chance to play together it was special. That's how I feel with me and (Mauti)."
Hodges, like Mauti, didn't have have hesitation when it came to staying at the school he committed to.
"This is where I came to play football and it's where I'll end my career," he said. "This is my family. Every time I come to the stadium people are cheering my name - people I've never even met before."
Mauti's ACL injury was a tough one for him to deal with. The senior worked very hard to get back to where he is both physically and mentally. At every game last season, Mauti had a headset on with his No. 42 jersey around his chest.
But the injury is no longer a concern.
"It's behind me 100 percent," he said. "I feel good."
When Hodges and Mauti lace it up on Sept. 1 against Ohio University, it will be 49 weeks since the tandem saw the field together. The duo's return to the field promises to be special.

Brazil and New Zealand Discuss Climate Cooperation Issues
14 August 2010: A bilateral meeting between Brazil's Minister of External Relations and New Zealand's Minister of Foreign Affairs was held on 13-14 August 2010, in São Paulo, Brazil, to discuss, inter alia, climate change cooperation.
According to the resulting joint ministerial statement, the Ministers had "useful exchanges" on the international climate change negotiations and noted that they will liaise closely to identify common ground in the lead-up to and after the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference to be held in Cancun, Mexico, in late 2010. New Zealand also encouraged Brazil to join the Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GHG) as a full member - Brazil currently participates as an observer to the work of the Alliance.

A Virginia teacher and coach who engaged in an online relationship and eventually traveled to the area to meet with a South Williamsport underage girl was sentenced Wednesday in Lycoming County court to time already served in prison along with six years of supervised probation in his hometown of Henrico County, Va., near Richmond.
Ty M. Levy, 49, was found guilty on several counts of sexual offenses after a non-jury trial June 25 by Judge Dudley N. Anderson. He was convicted of unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of a minor and obscene and other sexual materials, according to court records.
Levy, who was a fifth-grade teacher and soccer coach, arranged online Skype chats with the girl and encouraged her to expose herself and perform sex acts while he did the same. He also sent the girl links to pornographic websites, prosecutors said.
The online relationship began in September 2009 when the two shared instant messages with each other, according to police. Levy initially lied about his age, telling the girl he was in his 20s, investigators said. He later told the girl he was in his 30s.
During a Christmas break that same year, Levy arranged a meeting with the minor at a local restaurant. The encounter ended when the girl's father called her on her cellphone to find out where she was.
Levy was joined in the courtroom by his wife and mother, who both spoke on his behalf. Anderson also said he received numerous letters that portrayed Levy, who was visibly upset and sobbing during the proceeding, in a positive light.
"He was always an involved husband and family man," said Levy's wife, Ruth. "He made a very poor decision and owned up to it."
"I raised a good man with good values," said his mother, Phyllis.
She said his decision will haunt him the rest of his life.
Assistant District Attorney Aaron S. Biichle said Levy deserved a state prison sentence for his crimes.
"He groomed a child to be a sexual object for him," Biichle said. "It went beyond Internet contact. He went to her town with the intent of meeting her, and they kissed."
Levy asked the girl, her family and society to forgive him.
"I really am sorry. I'm the one who helps people all the time. I should help, not hurt," he said. "It really does sicken me what's happened. There was no excuse for what I did. This is the saddest part of my life. It was an aberration. It doesn't reflect who I really am."
Anderson agreed with Levy's attorney, Kyle Rude, who asked that a sentence include time served with a period of supervision in Virginia.
The judge said standard sentencing guidelines would put Levy in jail for the amount of time he already has done.
"This is a man who has successes in life - was revered - and burned. It really has destroyed his life," Anderson said, noting Levy must register on the Megan's Law sex offenders list for the next 10 years.
Levy is expected to be released from the Lycoming County Prison, where he has been incarcerated since June 23, 2011, in about 13 days.
Anderson also sentenced Levy to perform 200 hours of community service in Henrico County, Va.
Lycoming County District Attorney Eric R. Linhardt said late Wednesday afternoon that his office is filing a motion for reconsideration with Anderson regarding the sentence.

The Stephenson County Tea Party had a last-minute meeting to decide if we are going to resume. The big question is "Do we fight the establishment that has created this disaster" or say "Let it go default, and the sooner the better so we can start over?" I guess we are going to fight one more time.
The Democrats and RINOs (Republican in name only) only seem to care about their pensions and their Siamese twin, aka the public unions. Ask your leaders how many government pensions they get or are going to get! Now where is the transparency?
Only the Tea Party seems to care about the young people. We are the only ones trying to take our country, state, and county and give them back to the taxpayers by limiting government expansion, restrictions, and taxes on businesses that pay all the taxes.
Now Freeport is looking at another 1 percent sales tax increase. I am sure Monroe, Wisconsin, hopes it passes, as their sales tax is only 5.5 percent versus Freeport's 8 to 9.25 percent before the increase. The Tea Party supports business.
So where is your support? Without private business expansion, then the government has only one choice: to tax businesses, their employees, and their customers more.
The Stephenson County Tea Party will have a public meeting with U.S. Republican congressional candidate, Eric Reyes, who will be running against Bobby Schilling for the Illinois 17th District in the March primary. The Tea Party meeting will be January 21. The place will be announced.

Avian hybrids might be more common in the wild than previously believed, according to a new book, Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World (Oxford University Press), by geneticist Eugene McCarthy, Ph.D., of the University of Georgia. "For many years, animal hybrids were believed to occur only rarely, and even then, primarily in captivity," said McCarthy. "But avian hybrids cannot be so easily dismissed." Hybrids occur "in virtually every country of the world," he added.
The book runs 600 pages and lists all known and suspected hybrids (including captive-bred), where they are located and an assessment of fertility in hybrids. Two hundred and forty-seven parrot crosses are mentioned as well as 23 cockatoo crosses.
Hybrids are known for their sterility, but McCarthy found that many of them are in fact quite fertile and reproducing "in huge numbers." Agapornis lovebirds and rosella hybrids are among those producing fertile hybrids. Unlike mammals, male hybrid birds are more likely to be fertile than females.
In captivity, hybrids can be avoided if differing species are kept separate. In the wild, whether or not a species interbreeds might have to do with its location or upbringing. McCarthy found that crossbreeds often live in "hybrid zones," regions where hybrids are produced on an ongoing basis. These zones occur all over the world, he said. A lack of appropriate mates might have something to do with the behavior but so might early learning as a fledgling. McCarthy said that the song of a male overheard by a female nestling of another species might influence the adult female's mate choice later on, as could the appearance of another bird.

In the preface, Dr Creamer points out that this monograph "is not a textbook, it is neither comprehensive nor balanced, but it does attempt to cover some of the more recent approaches to small intestinal disease."
This summarization is accurate. Ten of the 17 chapters in this book are delightful explorations of major small intestinal diseases that are written in a clear and lucid manner, particularly those contributed by the editor. Many are studded with excellent illustrations and helpful graphs. The two chapters entitled "Mainly About Structure" and "Mainly About Function" are jewels. They are comprehensive, titillating dissertations of current knowledge in both fields. The other chapters are less appealing and contain little new information, and several have confusing diagrams. The last chapter, "Diseases of the Small Intestine in Children," is redundant and serves as a lengthy summary. The bibliography following several chapters is also disappointingly brief, and, in several

No way can AT&T be a viable ISP. They cannot even give my GF a dialup connection over 26.8kbps. AT&T is a sorry company they are just totally useless.
A question:
A couple of years ago I switched my residential internet service with Comcast to their business class, due to their bandwidth limit on the residential service and the fact that I use Carbonite and back up a lot of data, which would have put me over it most months. At $59.95 a month it isn't a whole lot more expensive than the residential price, and you get Norton Business Suite free, which makes it more than worth the extra cost (it's faster, too). But here's my question: I have heard others say that after your contract period is up, Comcast really jacks up the prices on you. Does anybody know if that is true? I signed a three year contract that will be up a year from next month.
That is true, that happened to me, this is the answer they gave me: The Blast Plus promotion you signed up which started 9/25/12 was $39.99/mo for 9 months. Then it goes up to $59.99/mo for months 10-12. After 12 months, regular rate of $79.95 will apply.
yeah. my bill just jumped $30.00 and i wasnt even notified anything was changing. and i went from almost 60Mbps to 42Mbps.
Good list, but I see it's from 2011 so probably needs to be updated. Calera (http://www.calera.biz) is the top ISP in my area. Your list should take into consideration rural ISPs like HughesNet. There's no way they didn't make this list!
Besides what is happening currently with Comcast and TWC what is the next two most aggressive companies looking to obtain new subscribers. Welcome any input
Calera? Well, I looked at it – An entire 10GB, 20GB or 30GB a month? That's a joke right?
This website needs to be updated it's 2014 now. I'm with Verizon and I pay for 75 down and 35 up. But, the speeds also depend on what a pc can handle. My DL and UL speed I get are actually 84/39 because of my pc capabilities.
What do you mean by 75 down and 35 up mean? Right now I have ATT DSL but according to a sales person, ATT is getting rid of their DSL and going to fiber optics. I do not like Verizon because they have terrible Customer Service as does Comcast
that's great list, how ever there will be some people who are good in their geo locations like Bravo tele communications, who are good
internet providers Canada, we need choose such persons by checking local people also.
This may seem like a stretch, but when looking for an internet service provider I also think of http://www.elkmonitor.com, who is a website / internet service provider of website availability services. These 2 services should really go hand in hand, but that's the consumers call ultimately. I would recommend pulling of MSN and AOL as they are not really service providers anymore. I would add up XO Communications.
I just was looking for iSPes in America because
I actually live in Iran and I wanted to compare ours with yours.you don't belive if I say that here the maximum speed for home users is 128 which is also limited (you should by some gigabytes to use) and it's about 30$ per month. And unlimited speed is up 2 mb that is allowed for companies.it costs about 400$.it is really hard to have an internet access but when you have to ther is no way.
Wow I can't believe Wikipedie lied! They said that Wowway was 9th and it isn't even in the top 20 most popular.
This should be titled "List of companies that don't care about providing good service."
I have used a few of these listed providers and always had to deal with rising rates and horrible customer service. I ended up switching to a smaller ISP and now have faster speed, a bill that never changes, and amazing customer service. INTERLYNC.COM is a much better choice then any of these listed above.
Oh, read this and amazed to very high prices. Now, I live in Russia, and our prices for the internet hugely lower. Almost all apartment houses are connected by FTTB tehnologiy. To give an example prices of my provider (all tariffs are unlimited):
10 Mb/s – 2$
20 Mb/s – 3$
40 Mb/s – 3.5$
70 Mb/s – 4$
100 Mb/s – 5$.
P.S. If you find any grammar mistakes, please forgive me, I teaching English :)
I have Cable One, They recently upgraded lines and came out with new packages
(1) – $25 a month 50 MBPS Down, 1 MBPS up
(2) – $50 a month 100 MBPS Down, 5 MBPS up
(3) – $75 a month 500 MBPS down, 10 MBPS up
(4) – $100 a month 1 GBPS down, 25 MBPS up
They have improved so much, just last year there top package was only 100 MBPS.
Daniel, can you tell me more about Cable One? I have never heard of them. I presently have Verizon, but would like to get rid of them. I would like the website for Cable One to see if they provide service in my area. Thanks for your help.
Great service. Phone numbers would help. Thanks
i love good internet providers, i really want to be a Representative in Nigeria for any Good provider thank you +2348063132827
Who is your internet provider? If you have a name please send it.
Actually, just looked at Comcast's website and it is 10 GB per email.
HI, can any one help me? i a lookin for a vps o proxys with an residencial isp, any ieda? thanks

Cate Blanchett, Billy Crudup, Michael Gambon
After her lover's plane is shot down over France during World War II, Scottish-born Charlotte Gray (Blanchett) joins the British secret service and parachutes into France to aid the French Resistance. She also tries to track down her missing boyfriend—a British combat pilot—in between saving Jewish orphans, exchanging soulful looks with a dashing French comrade (Crudup) and dynamiting German troop trains. Busy, busy, busy.
Charlotte Gray, a romantic drama based on a more nuanced 1998 novel by Sebastian Faulks, doesn't lack for plot, but it doesn't always make sense either. Director Gillian Armstrong (Little Women) has made a handsome film that showcases a talented Blanchett (Bandits) to advantage, but its scenes are often disjointed. Another annoyance: The French characters all speak English, but some (Crudup) with a French accent while others (Gambon) sound as if they'd just come from tea at Buckingham Palace. (PG-13)
Bottom Line: C'estmediocre
I Am Sam
Sean Penn, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dianne Wiest, Laura Dern, Dakota Fanning
Featured attraction
Sean Penn is always saying in interviews how much he prefers directing to acting, but here's hoping he doesn't abandon the craft anytime soon. His flawless performance in I Am Sam grounds this otherwise manipulative, lachrymose tale of an adult retarded man trying to regain custody of his 7-year-old daughter.
Penn portrays Sam Dawson, who, despite having the intellectual capacities of a second grader and toiling at a menial Starbucks job in Los Angeles, is conscientiously raising Lucy, the product of Sam's brief fling with a homeless woman. When Lucy is removed from his custody by child-welfare workers who claim Sam is incapable of being a proper parent, he hires a high-powered attorney (Pfeiffer) via the Yellow Pages to help him win his daughter back. "You had the biggest ad," he tells her.
Though director-cowriter Jessie Nelson (Corrina, Corrina) has made a movie that is sincere and heartfelt, the often too cutesy Sam glosses over such nagging questions as how its hero can possibly afford the rent for his comfortable apartment on coffeehouse wages. Pfeiffer, stuck playing a harried yuppie with a Porsche who reevaluates her life only after spending time with Sam, does what little she can with this stock character. Penn is the reason to see Sam; he avoids obvious tics and tricks, instead showing viewers a simple man trying his hardest to do his limited best. (PG-13)
Bottom Line: Penn rises to the challenge
Orange County
Colin Hanks, Jack Black, Catherine O'Hara, Schuyler Fisk, John Lithgow
There are three kinds of teen movies: dumb ones, semiclever ones and ones so smart or perfectly pitched that they transcend the category. Orange County fits into the middle group. Just when an adult starts to feel kindly toward it, director Jake Kasdan (Zero Effect) will remember his primary audience and throw in a gross-out joke about someone accidentally swallowing urine.
Aspiring writer Shaun Brumder (Hanks, whose dad is Tom Hanks) is a high school senior living in Southern California who goes to extremes to get into Stanford. He reckons college is his best shot at escaping his dysfunctional family, including a drunken mom (O'Hara), business-obsessed pop (Lithgow) and druggie older brother (Black, who is funny in what's essentially a John Candy-Chris Farley party-animal role).
Young Hanks, 24, grows on you. Sharper-featured than his father but with that same Everyman quality, he capably handles both comic and dramatic scenes. Fisk, whose mom is Sissy Spacek, is winning as Shaun's levelheaded girlfriend. When she and Hanks share scenes, you can imagine the film their parents never made together. (PG-13)
Bottom Line: Here comes the son

Bravado Original Nursing Bra
All Natural:To meet our All Natural standard, products must be close to 100% natural, made from pure, natural materials such as cotton, wool, wood, silk or all natural ingredients. We only source products made without harmful chemicals, formaldehyde finishes and other toxins, but the all-natural label goes a step beyond this ensuring you are purchasing products that contain the least amount of synthetic or made-made materials/ingredients.
Non-Toxic:Products for our infants, children and families should not contain toxic chemicals such as BPA, PVC (vinyl), phthalates, lead, cadmium or synthetic fragrances. The reality is, many products brought into our homes do contain toxins we can avoid. Our collection of healthier product alternatives are the safest and best product options we have found.
Sustainable:A healthy planet ensures the future health of our children. While every product we carry is non-toxic, many are also made in whole or in part with recycled (or recyclable) parts and/or components, derived from sustainably harvested forests and may be biodegradable. Most importantly, we prefer products that are reusable first, replacing use and toss items.
Positive Development:bynature.ca is fundamentally about healthy, positive childhood development - social, physical, emotional and intellectual. A large selection of our products, from breastfeeding products to baby carriers, infant toys to a child's first baby doll, are specifically selected to support the bonding, learning and well-rounded development of our children.
Ethics:To recognize the companies that choose to go above and beyond, look for our Ethics standard. These companies exceed our safety and environmental standards, as well as commit to responsible, respectful fair labour, and human rights practices. These companies may also make an outstanding effort to give back to both local and extended communities. Their stories are nothing short of extraordinary.
Family Basics:Families quickly accumulate excess 'stuff' when a baby first appears on the scene. Apart from a lot of love, healthy food, appropriate clothing, and a safe place to sleep, there really isn't all that much our little ones need (despite the many Must Have lists out there!). Spend your money wisely on products or playthings that are proven to be the most useful necessities, or have extended play value beyond the first few years.
Practical:We hold our products to the highest standards while also considering the convenience and functionality of each and every one. After much testing by the most worthy individuals (real parents!), these products get a thumbs-up for being the best of the best - practically speaking, of course.
Good Value:Quality, long-lasting, reusable and multi-use items are high on our list of criteria for products that meet our Good Value standard. Often times this will mean a product will help you save money over the long term, either by replacing use-and-toss items or by offering more than one use which extends the life of the product well into the future.

The party election was held at the party head office at 10 am.
Former Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and his wife, Yaowapha Wongsawat, left their house at 9:30 am to observe the election of the new Pheu Thai board.
The party assembly voted unanimously to retain the same number of 13 party executives before electing the new board.
Caretaker party registrar Kamol Bandaiphet nominated Yongyuth to the post of party leader without anyone nominating another candidate to contest against him.
Yinglak, who was sitting in the front row, was apparently surprised that her name was not nominated.
She rose from her seat and walked to the back of the room to talk to a party member after her name was not nominated.
When realising that she was being watched by reporters, she and the party member went inside a room behind the meeting room immediately.

RFA Sir Galahad (L3005) was a Round Table class landing ship logistics (LSL) vessel belonging to the Royal Fleet Auxiliary of the United Kingdom. She was first managed for the British Army by the British-India Steam Navigation Company, before being transferred in 1970 to the RFA.
Design and construction[edit]
The Sir Galahad was a 3,322-tonne LSL built by Stephens and launched in 1966. She could carry 340 troops or, when necessary, 534 for short periods. Cargo capacity could include 16 light tanks, 34 mixed vehicles, 122 tonnes of fuel and 31 tonnes of ammunition. Landing craft could be carried in place of lifeboats, but unloading was mainly handled by three onboard cranes.
Service history[edit]
In November and December 1970 Sir Galahad was involved in Operation Burlap giving humanitarian assistance to East Pakistan after a cyclone caused extensive damage and flooding.
Falklands War[edit]
Sir Galahad was active during the Falklands War, sailing from HMNB Devonport on 6 April with 350 Royal Marines and entering San Carlos Water on 21 May. On 24 May 1982 in San Carlos Water she was attacked by A-4 Skyhawks of the Argentine Air Force's IV Brigada Aérea and was hit by a 1000 pound bomb dropped by Lt. Luis Alberto "Tucu" Cervera's A-4, (which did not detonate) then strafed by Dagger fighter bombers. After removal of the unexploded bomb, she carried out supply runs to Teal Inlet along with RFA Sir Percivale.
On the 8 June 1982 while preparing to unload soldiers from the Welsh Guards in Port Pleasant, off Fitzroy, together with RFA Sir Tristram, the Sir Galahad was attacked by three A-4 Skyhawks from Argentine Air Force's V Brigada Aérea, each loaded with three 500 lb retarding tail bombs.[1] At approximately 14:00 local time RFA Sir Galahad was hit by two or three bombs and set alight.[2] A total of 48 soldiers and crewman were killed in the explosions and subsequent fire.[3]
Her captain, Philip Roberts waited until the last minute to abandon ship and was the last to leave.[4] He was subsequently awarded the DSO for his leadership and courage.[4] Chiu Yiu-Nam, a seaman on RFA Sir Galahad, was awarded the George Medal for rescuing ten men trapped in a fire in the bowels of the ship.[5]
BBC television cameras recorded images of Royal Navy helicopters hovering in thick smoke to winch survivors from the burning landing ships.[6] These images were seen around the world (dead link).
Other units affected include 3 Troop (of 20 Field Squadron, 36 Engineer Regiment) which was temporarily attached to 9 Independent Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers and was being transported on the Galahad to provide engineering support following the landings. Engineers feature prominently in contemporary footage showing two lifeboats landing survivors. Also 16 Field Ambulance (RAMC) were on board and assisted with the treatment and evacuation of the many casualties.
After the Falklands War[edit]
On 21 June, the hulk was towed out to sea and sunk by HMS Onyx; it is now an official war grave, designated as a protected place under the Protection of Military Remains Act.
Guardsman Simon Weston was among the survivors of the attack on Sir Galahad. He suffered 46%[7] burns and his story has been widely reported in television and newspaper coverage. Ten years after Sir Galahad was sunk, Weston was awarded the OBE. Other survivors include the intelligence consultant Crispin Black.[8]
A replacement ship entered service in 1988, carrying the same name and pennant number.

When it comes to learning more about your favorite businesses, the best source for information isn't likely to be The Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, or even here at Fool.com. The best sources of investment news are more likely to be industry-specific blogs and expert social media feeds, says Fool contributor Tim Beyers in the following video.
Legendary investor Philip Fisher called this data gathering method "scuttlebutt" in his book, Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits. In Fisher's day, gathering investment news and intel meant talking with salespeople or executives, asking them to open up about competitors they most admired.
Blogs and social media have since changed the equation. Take Twitter, which has become a must-watch source of breaking news for traders. LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD ) , meanwhile, has spent millions beefing up its newsgathering capabilities in order to position the site as a tool for competitive intelligence. The latest? A $92.9 million deal for Pulse.
Incentives call for LinkedIn to pay out up to 480 million shares to Pulse team members, according to the company's latest 10-Q quarterly report. The deal sends a clear message: Scuttlebutt is more difficult to find in a noisy world, which makes tools for gathering it all the more valuable.
Are you using the scuttlebutt method in your search for investment news? Tim walks you through his strategy in the video. Please watch and then, if you haven't already, start a Motley Fool watch list. Clicking here will get you started gathering intel about LinkedIn. How you use it is up to you.

Erie man accused of posing as bail bondsman, charged with stealing $2,300
An Erie man accused of stealing money from a woman while posing as a bail bondsman will appear in court in May to face charges filed against him after the case was reassigned to another district judge.
Jonathan D. Pfister, 25, of the 800 block of East 29th Street, remained in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond Wednesday on charges of theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and obstructing the administration of law.
Erie police accuse him of impersonating a local bail bondsman and taking $2,300 in cash from a woman who had given it to him to post bail for her boyfriend, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case. Police said the transaction took place on the morning of March 26 outside of Erie 5th Ward District Judge Joseph Lefaiver's office.
Lefaiver arraigned Pfister on the charges later that day and placed him in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond. Pfister was scheduled to appear before Lefaiver for a preliminary hearing on Friday, but the judge recused himself and the case was reassigned to Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney, court officials said.
Pfister's new hearing date is May 2.
Pfister also faces drug charges for an incident that happened in Summit Township on March 22. State police said they found Pfister in possession of 3 ounces of suspected marijuana after troopers were called to the 7200 block of Peach Street to investigate a report of a man attempting to sell drugs.
Pfister's preliminary hearing in the case was scheduled for Wednesday, but was postponed. A new date was not set Wednesday.

Greetings arts enthusiasts,
I have some rather exciting news! The Ottawa Arts Newsletter has been nominated for "Best local blog/website" in the Ottawa XPress – Best of Ottawa 2009.
All the nominees are pretty awesome — but hey, if you want to vote for me, then follow this link: http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/dossier/bestof/xpress2009.aspx.Section 4 right near the bottom! Please vote before the deadline on November 11.
And without further ado, here is your artistic line-up for the month of November…
November 3 to 7
The University of Ottawa's Drama Guild presents "Our Country's Good"
Timberlake Wertenbaker's Our Country's Good is set in eighteenth-century Australia and tells the story of convicts who decide to put on a production of a Restoration drama. Directed by Arthur Milner, this Drama Guild production is designed by Martin Conboy, Roy Hansen-Robitschek, and Rick Cousins, and features students from the theatre department at the University of Ottawa.
November 3 to 14
The National Arts Centre English Theatre presents "Elephant Wake"
I am really looking forward to seeing this expanded production of Elephant Wake that was originally produced as a Fringe Festival production by Catalyst Theatre (a spectacular Edmonton company that I am studying for my thesis and that recently presented Nevermore here in Ottawa). Witness writer/actor Joey Tremblay's performance as the last man left in Ste. Vierge, a defunct Francophone town in Saskatchewan, and see up close director/designer Bretta Gerecke's remarkable papier maché townscape. Check out the website for photos!
November 3 to 22
The Great Canadian Theatre Company presents "The Children's Republic"
Hannah Moscovitch's long awaited new play – about a Jewish orphanage in Poland that is invaded by Nazis – premieres at the GCTC this month. Directed by Janet Irwin, this co-production with the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama features several of its students in the roles of the orphans, as well as local actors Paul Rainville, Peter Froehlich, Kate Hurman, and Sarah McVie. Heather Marie Scheerschmidt has written a great article about this show: http://bit.ly/3NOA3h
November 12 to 14
Ottawa Little Theatre and Savoy Society of Ottawa present a Double Bill!
Ottawa Little Theatre presents W. S. Gilbert's one act play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The Savoy Society then presents The Zoo, a one-act comic opera by Arthur Sullivan and Bolton Rowe. Join an incognito nobleman, an anguished pharmacist, a saucy waitress, a grumpy grocer and his captivating daughter, with a patriotic chorus of animal lovers in this opera set in the London Zoo.
November 13 and 14
AB Series presents two readings by Joe Rosenblatt
Author of twenty books and his poems have appeared in over thirty anthologies of Canadian poetry, Joe has received major awards such as the Governor General's Award in 1976 and the BC Book Award in 1986. Catch him in Ottawa, then in Gatineau with Ottawa poète Andree Christensen.
November 14
2nd Ottawa Timeraiser
This event has only recently been brought to my attention, and I think it is a phenomenal idea. Timeraiser is part volunteer fair, part silent art auction and part night on the town. The big twist is rather than bidding money on artwork, you bid volunteer hours. You can sign up by visiting the website, and the event takes place at the National Gallery of Canada. The goal is to raise 5000 volunteer hours!
November 15
Jill Zmud CD Release
Ottawa torch-folk songstress Jill Zmud is releasing her debut album at the Black Sheep Inn this month. Check out her MySpace page to experience her soothing vocals and imaginative lyrics. For her release, she will be joined by fellow musicians Dave Draves, Chris Page, Safwan Javed and more.
November 16
The Wrecking Ball
I was sorry to have missed this event last year, that busy time of arts cuts protests before the federal election. The Wrecking Ball is back at St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts and Humanities, this time bringing together members of the theatre and literary communities. Don't miss what promises to be an evening of incredible live performance!
November 17 to 28

November 18 to 28
Ottawa Chamber Theatre presents "The Mechanicsville Monologues"
Written by Donnie Laflamme, this production consists of a series of monologues and is performed by ten local actors and a handful of professional musicians. As the playwright describes, "The monologues are based on things I've seen, things I've done, and things I've heard. The pieces are inspired by people and situations experienced in 'hood. I call them the dirtiest tales ever told and some of them truly are. No punches get pulled. No apologies." Well, I'm intrigued!
November 19 to 28
Sock 'N' Buskin Theatre company presents "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"
If you haven't yet seen this play, it's a good one: two of Hamlet's most underrated characters are given centre stage in this existentialist comedy that is reminiscent of Waiting for Godot, but with a modern Shakespearean twist. Directed by Dave Dawson, this production opens Sock 'N' Buskin's 66th season in Ottawa.
November 26 and 27

At Least 12 Dead in Shooting at 'Dark Knight Rises' Premiere

Yes, my first reaction was and is, 'what the hell was wrong with the shooter in Colorado?!' I am angry and saddened. Yes, I believe there is an evil in this world and it can make people numb, but I also know that this man's actions could have been the result of a lack of love towards him - neglect, being ignored, bullying, made fun of, laughed at, who knows? At the end of the day, I do not know the why, but I know this man was human; he had a heart that beat, and once upon a time, had the innocence of a child. His actions are nonetheless horrific and sick and by no means excused, but we can't forget to pray for him as well. He may have parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, or brothers and sisters, that deeply cared for him. Let us not forget their pain. So "Let everything you say be good and helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." (Eph 4:29).
This is a girl that was one of the people killed in the shooting. Have a look at a blog she posted June 5th
How does that happen???

2 Montgomery County Commissioners Under Investigation
Posted: 12:50 PM EDT Aug 24, 2011 Updated: 6:58 AM EST Dec 03, 2010
Two Montgomery County commissioners have caught the attention of the county's top cop.
District Attorney Risa Vetri-Ferman is investigating whether Commissioners Joe Hoeffel and James Matthews violated the state's sunshine act.
The two allegedly held secret meetings in which they discussed county business in advance of public meetings.
Matthews did not return our calls for comment.
But Hoeffel released a statement saying he is quote ''confident the breakfast meetings do not violate the sunshine law since we do not deliberate on or decide county business.''

Name Changes and Spelling Issues in Family History Research
In What's in a Name? Spelling Issues in Genealogy we are advised to assume "furious and crazy phonetic spelling, pre-1850," something which may or may not put a glitch in your family history research as you discover misspellings and incorrect census records. The author notes one example of such a case with her own great-great-grandfather, Francis William Pettygrove, who is listed on several annals as Frances, Francis W., F.W., Pettigrove, Pettigrew, Pettygrew, and Petigrow.
As troublesome as this might be that a mere letter could cause you to miss a critical record, keen researchers have grown family tree websites or family associations, collecting all possible spellings, hoping not miss vital information.
With MyHeritage.com's collaborative online family tree, family members can easily be invited to add and suggest name spellings, making your family tree more accurate. To create your basic family tree online for free, visit MyHeritage.com.
Has a name change or spelling mistake been uncovered in your family tree? How did you discover it? Please share your story below or here on our Facebook page.
Search for your ancestors:
- Find gedcom

- Please go to the Family Tree - Manage Trees - and there you can make export to GEDCOM
- Hi FW,
It depends a bit on where you're trying to get the GEDCOM from, but I can point you in the right direction.
For exporting from Family Tree Builder, just go to File > Export Gedcom while in the software program.
On the website you'll need to go to Family Tree > Manager Family Trees, then select 'Export Gedcom' on the relevant tree to you.
If you're trying to get a Gedcom from another software provider, things might be a bit different.
If you let me know specifically where you're stuck I might be able to help you a bit more. Otherwise, hopefully some of this has helped you!
- I've made spelling corrections and additions in my family, but they don't show up in the family tree chart. How do you make those corrections/additions?

awww. isn't it a little rabbit there? it's great when you can see wild animals outside the zoo cages. wonderful
Hi Leraine! Yes, we have a summer cottage in this area and I took this photo in 2006 when we suddenly started to see more and more of those cute little things. Well, they ate our apple trees and raspberries and flowers. But I have to admit that they ARE cute:))
It looks like there are more predators chasing them now. I have seen quite many eagle owls and foxes in Helsinki in the last two years... and they have to eat too!
Well, it's a normal food chain. More hares - more eaten apple trees :) But after all it's better with animals then without them at all. For me (the person who lives in a crowded city full of cars) it's a rare thing to see wild animals even such as hares and eagle-owls. I see squirrels sometimes in the parks but very few. On the contrary, there are more and more domestic homeless animals in my city who suffer from human heartlessness.
very nice photo !! greetings!! like
Thanks, Enrico. This is one of my older photos but it still means a lot to me. This is the gate to our summer paradise:))
