In addition to moving, scaling and rotating, Illustrator has two more transformations, something called reflecting or mirroring and also something called sharing or skewing. Let's take a look at both of those. Many times when drawing artwork inside of Illustrator that needs to be symmetrical, it's easy to just draw one half of a piece of artwork, like I have here, and then use the Reflect tool to automatically create the other part of it. You can find the Reflect tool grouped together with the Rotate tool inside the Tools panel.
Remember that, by default, Illustrator puts the origin point at the center of the artwork. However, I want this artwork to reflect from one of the edges here, so I get the appearance that I am looking for. So one thing that I could do is simply click once on this Anchor Point to move my origin point right here, and now what I'll do is I'll click and drag, and I'll hold down the Shift key, and I can see now that I can create artwork that fills up the other side, but before I release the mouse, I'm also going to hold down the Option key. So with the Shift and the Option key held down now, I'm not only constraining the proportion, but I'm also creating a copy at the same time.
Now when I release the mouse, I get the version of the artwork that I'm looking for. Alternatively, I can press Command+Z here to undo this, and I can Option+Click on this point, and that brings up the dialog box here for the Reflect tool. It gives me a helpful preview and in this case here, I want to flip over the Vertical axis. I can click on the Copy button, and now I get the result that I am looking for as well. Using the Reflect tool can also be helpful in creating shadows. For example, if I have this piece of artwork right here, I am going to go ahead now and select it, I can use the Reflect tool to create some kind of a shadow.
I'll press the O key on my keyboard, which is the keyboard shortcut for the Reflect tool, I'll click once over here to define my origin point, and then I'll click and drag to basically create the reflected area while holding down the Option key. This creates now a copy and maybe I'll change the Color of it to gray. So while this does create a nice shadow, it may not seem very realistic because sometimes a cast shadow is skewed somewhat. So to perform that action, I'm going to select the artwork right here and underneath the Scale tool is something called the Shear tool.
I can click over here, once again, to define an origin point and then click and drag to basically skew or adjust that shadow, to get it to look just right. So I can use the combination of the Reflect and the Shear tools to create the effect that I need.

wow. Great find.
It would be better to flog Neo-Cons with it if they were direct from Marse Robert.
Light Horse Harry was a ne'er do well and that he visited the slave quarters after hours in hardly shocking.
He did do good work in the Revolution but beyond that there is little about the man to laud.
Why do we have to worry about whether there is something to laud?
We look to the past for inspiration as much as for dry facts.
you yourself have often put people forward as examples to inspire and to emulate and honor.
If we didn't feel the need to laud past people we'd never bother to build statues to them.
This sort of situation is probably far more common than many Americans, black or white, recognize today. The Custis men were somewhat infamous in their day for their close, er, relations with female slaves, and George W. P. Custis, Lee's father-in-law, was even the subject of a bad pun made about it that reportedly found its way into the Congressional Record.
As you suggest, these revelations are really only troublesome for folks who choose to see historical figures as pure and unblemished heroes — or villains, as is sometimes the case. For the rest of us, who understand that people 150 years ago were just as complex as people are today, it doesn't cause nearly as much indigestion.
A friend of mine did research on his Irish ancestry and found out that he was descended from someone who was a collaborator with the British who participated in the eviction of poor tenant farmers during the Famine, some of whom may have starved to death. He told me some of the people in the village his ancestor was from still were angry at the collaborator, although not at my friend.
I wonder how it might feel to be the African American descendant of a slave owner or defender of the slave republic.
My family tree consists entirely of petty criminals, alcoholics, an occasional suicide and a few mental patients. It's colorful! But if I thought heredity was destiny I wouldn't get up in the morning.
Back in the Kennedy years when genealogy was all the rage among Irish Americans tracing their heritage back to the High Kings, my mom used to laugh and say "If we weren't bogtrotters, rebels and horse thieves why would we have bothered to come over to America?"
People still try to hide that fact as if someone is a pure race in america , the land of the free, and most amalglamated nation in the world . The first spoil of any war is the women . I, am a direct descendant of Robert e. Lee and a slave named Sarah. My greatgrandmother , Bertha Ward of Altivista Va, is the daughter of a slave Named Sarah , who was a daughter , or herself had children by Lee. I know it was a part of my families heritage , and still remember my family being sued by the smithsonian for the last authentic dress uniform owned by Lee in the 60/s MS.bertha could pass as white and had 12 children by James Ward . My grandfather Sam , his brothers William Raymond sisters that I can remember Pilot Gracie Joiuce, Mary , Mildred, . I cant remember them all , but it will come to me soon.Grandma bertha owned the laundryma, general store and more in Altivista , and we nerver worried about the whites , because , the woman could pass as my greatgrandmother could for white. People feel ashamed that there descendants took part in the rapes a pillage of the original europeans that had come here . you must check history and see they openly admit they could not deal with the new enviroments , and the rich originally didnt do no work in Europe no way . As a matter of fact , white women did not come to the new lands for close to 15-20- yrs after the men set foot here. So what do you conceive that the next step was . Please read G.M. James 3- novels on sex and race , and see the laws Virginia , the first colony started. Check out how the quadroon, a mulatoe repregnated by another european as to increase the chances of passing white was the most sought after slave . Don,y be ashamed as people hope you are of your heritage . Just remember , we are descendants of the ONLY people that never asked to come here. Never forget that .Remember I,m Allen Ward , descendants of James ,and Bertha Ward of Altivista Virginia . Ms, Bertha was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee. Oh yeah another great aunt was Sarah , she died very youngPlease feel free to contact me as I can find out lost relatives . Been 30 yrs since ,I,ve been to Altivista Virginia.
Mr. Ward,
I stumbled across your post this morning as I became curious about the subject of Robert E. Lee and black descendants. You see, I too was told by my family researcher cousin Sheila that I am a direct descendant of the General through my great-grandmother Sarah Virginia whose grandmother was also named Sarah. My great-grand mother who was probably a octaroon or quadrooon, bears a striking resemblance to the General. I remember reading that the Gordons of Scotland and the Lees were cousins. I'm not exactly sure but I believe my great-great-grandmother was of Gordon descent as well. I would love to hear more about your connection to the General. If you still receive correspondences via this link, please contact me at email@example.com.
Looking forward to the exchange,
Great revelations!!! How can this be documented? Would love to know more about the issue of the Lees and cross-race descendents.
I just discovered a black cousin through DNA and Lee is her ancestor. Lee's ancestor, Bernard Moore, is also my husband's ancestor, and the DNA prooves that she is his cousin to the correct degree to be Lee's descendant.
As would I sir. I am in contact with a cousin who did/does family research on descendants/ancestors in Virginia. She has a mountain of notes as well as documentation related to not only the Lees but our family blood relations to other prominent Tidewater families. As an aside, she did inform me that my great-grandmother was of Gordon descent as well. Much further, she stated that the Gordon and Lee families were blood related. However in this particular instance, I am certain the documentation could be found in the voluminous ledgers/journal accounts held by the Lee family.
I found this video while trying to find out if it was already known that Robert E. Lee had black children. While this video is about his black sibling and nephew, it is still interesting. I discovered through a DNA match with a black woman who claims her great great grandfather was Robert E. Lee that her claim is most likely true. She matched as a 5th-8th cousin of my husband. If her claim that her ancestor, Lindsey Lee (who is shown in Robert's household in the 1870 census) is true, then it explains that DNA match, because it would make her and my husband 6th cousins 2x removed. They would both be descended from Robert E. Lee's ancestor (and my husband's), Bernard Moore.
Is there a link to this video?
Ms. Miller,
I read your post and became quite intrigued at you and your husband's findings. If I'm not asking too much, what DNA test did your husband use to trace his DNA link with Robert E. Lee?

The Everlasting Check: Hume on Miraclesby Alexander George
Alexander George's lucid interpretation of Hume's "Of Miracles" provides fresh insights into this provocative text, explaining the concepts and claims involved. He also shows why Hume's argument fails to engage with committed religious thought and why philosophical argumentation so often proves ineffective in shaking people's deeply held beliefs.
Sense and Nonsensibilityby Lawrence Douglas Alexander George
Two widely published humor columnists and "bad boys" of academia take their wit and wisdom to dazzling new lows in this irreverent send-up of highbrow literary culture. At last, the thinking person's take on the life of the mind in today's increasingly mindless age. Sense and Nonsensibility pokes fun at everyone from spoof-proof scholars to pompous professors; from anal-retentive authors to plagiarizing poets; from snake-oil therapists to bestselling illiterati. This singular collection by Professors Lawrence Douglas and Alexander George brings together their most popular pieces, along with many brand-new ones, including: The Academy Awards for novels -- with categories for "Best Female Protagonist -- Doomed," "Best Narrator -- Unreliable," and "Best Novel -- Unfinishable by Reader" Home Shopping University -- offering the greatest ideas in Western history at rock-bottom prices I'm Okay, I'm Okay: Accepting Narcissism -- the best in "Self-helplessness books" The Penis Orations -- Iron Man's answer to The Vagina Monologues "Ask the Academic Ethicist" -- their notorious advice column, which has shocked higher education
What Would Socrates Say?by Alexander George
What Would Socrates Say?helps the armchair philosopher solve age-old quandaries and contemporary ethical dilemmas. - If no one ever loves me during my lifetime--if I don't have a relationship--will I have not lived a good life? - Do the advances in the field of biotechnology threaten our moral values? - Are there any reasons to have a child that aren't selfish? - Is there no such thing as bad art? - What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter? - Am I morally bound to tell my sex partner if I fantasize about someone else while making love to him or her? These are among the profound, paradoxical, playful, and classic questions asked and answered in this book drawn from AskPhilosophers. org, the popular website created by some of today's most highly esteemed philosophers. Using their knowledge of the arguments laid down by the likes of Aristotle, Camus, Locke, and Socrates, and their own insightful interpretations, they break down tough issues in a digestible, personal, and even humorous style. Included are questions on today's hot-button topics (war, euthanasia); timeless conundrums about religion and morality (how do we know God exists?); personal perplexities about adultery, child-rearing, and sex; and a few lighthearted topics like whether it's right to let your kids believe in Santa. Featuring real questions from real people around the world--doctors, lawyers, the uneducated, the elderly, and even young children (for example, "If everything has an opposite, like night and day, then what's the opposite of a banana?")--this book is for anyone seeking enlightenment on a complicated or an elusive concept relevant to the lives we lead today. Whether you agree with the answers given or not, this book reminds us of Socrates' famous words--"a life unexamined is not worth living"--and, in doing so, encourages us to think a little more deeply, a little more critically, and, well, a little more philosophically about how we make our way in the world

Computer is only 6 months old.
Problem with screen going black. Sent for repair. Harddrive replaced. Computer was not fixed. Screen going black almost immediately after turning it on (computer still running, just no display). Can power off and turn it back on--still happens again. I did see a brief menu that stated "Display driver not responding" before blacking out again.
Would appreciate any help.
I have a Satellite L455D-s5976 - Windows 7 and I have the same problem with the screen just going black. Does anybody have any answers as to what is wrong...? It's like it's stuck in sleep mode and won't wake up...I have tried a restore, I have tried changing the sleep/hibernate settings, I have tried a system repair. None of these things have corrected the problem. Some serious help would be greatly appreciated.

From board books to gorgeously illustrated picture books, there are plenty of ways to share the upcoming holidays with young readers. Tomie DePaola's "My First Passover" is simple enough to read with your toddlers.
When people talk about brackets, I think bookshelves. Sure, I've heard about March madness and basketball, but up till now I haven't paid much attention.
Then I discovered School Library Journal's Battle of the Kids' Books, complete with celebrity judges, a Big Kahuna Round and, yes, brackets. Now you're talking my language!
St. Patrick's Day may have passed, but you can continue to celebrate at home by stocking up on Irish stories and lore from the library. Edna Barth's "Shamrocks, Harps, and Shillelaghs" provides quirky facts and legends associated with the holiday. Did you know that St. Patrick was not Irish himself but was born in Scotland? Or that Americans have been celebrating St. Patrick's Day since 1737? (That year's gala was held in Boston, of course.) Along with fascinating details about Irish harps, Irish poetry and St. Patrick's Day parades, Barth weaves in much of the history of Ireland for readers nine and up.
On Thursday, April 22, 2010, Jeremy Black of the University of Exeter and author of A History of the British Isles will give a talk on the cinematic Cold War super spy. This lecture, part of the university's Great Lives series, is free and open to the public.
Whether books, bagpipes, dancing or dining delight you, our area has much to offer in the way of Saint Patrick's Day celebrations.

What made Jay Leno crave an audience? What lesson did Steve Forbes learn early and never forget? What influenced Steve Wozniak?
Children's literature specialist Anita Silvey conducted interviews with these three and over 100 other people in the arts, business, and sciences to discover what inspired and influenced them as children. The result is her new book, "Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children's Book, Life Lessons from Notable People from All Walks of Life."
Some books seem to fly under the radar. They don't garner the big awards or make the bestseller lists, they're just quietly checked out of libraries over and over again. One of my new favorites in this category is "The Thumb in the Box" by Ken Roberts.
It begins, "This is a story about a fire truck being driven into the ocean and two people taking off their thumbs. Don't worry, though. Nobody gets hurt." No self-respecting third grade audience will let you stop reading after that!
The gold medals get all the attention at the Olympics, but winners of the silver and bronze medals are proud, too. So it goes with children's book awards as well. Anyone would be thrilled to win the Newbery or Caldecott Medals, but earning an Honor (as the runners-up are called) is nothing to sneeze at.
This year's honor books – and yes, they earn a silver medal – include one of those fascinating true stories that makes readers say, "how come I never knew that?"

Medicare Part D:
CMS's Process and Policy for Enrolling New Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries
GAO-07-1022T: Published: Jun 21, 2007. Publicly Released: Jun 21, 2007.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), dual-eligible beneficiaries--individuals with both Medicare and Medicaid coverage--have their drug costs covered under Medicare Part D rather than under state Medicaid programs. The MMA requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to enroll these beneficiaries in a Medicare prescription drug plan (PDP) if they do not select a plan on their own. CMS enrolled about 5.5 million dual-eligible beneficiaries in late 2005 and about 634,000 who became dually eligible during 2006. GAO was asked to testify on (1) CMS's process for enrolling new dual-eligible beneficiaries into PDPs and its effect on access to drugs and (2) how CMS set the effective coverage date for certain dual-eligible beneficiaries and its implementation of this policy. This testimony is based on the GAO report, Medicare Part D: Challenges in Enrolling New Dual-Eligible Beneficiaries (GAO-07-272).
CMS's process for enrolling new dual-eligible beneficiaries who have not yet signed up for a PDP involves many parties, information systems, and administrative steps, and takes a minimum of 5 weeks to complete. For about two-thirds of these individuals--generally Medicare beneficiaries who subsequently qualify for Medicaid--pharmacies may not have up-to-date PDP enrollment information needed to bill PDPs appropriately until the beneficiaries' data are completely processed. As a result, these beneficiaries may have difficulty obtaining their Part D-covered prescription drugs during this interval. CMS has created contingency measures to help individuals obtain their new Medicare benefit, but these measures have not always worked effectively. For the other one-third of new dual-eligible beneficiaries--Medicaid enrollees who become Medicare-eligible because of age or disability--CMS eliminated the impact of processing time by enrolling them in PDPs just prior to their attaining Medicare eligibility. This prospective enrollment, implemented in late 2006, offers these dual-eligible beneficiaries a seamless transition to Medicare Part D coverage. CMS set the effective Part D coverage date for Medicare eligible beneficiaries who subsequently become eligible for Medicaid to coincide with the date their Medicaid coverage becomes effective. Under this policy, which was designed to provide drug coverage for dual-eligible beneficiaries as soon as they attain dual-eligible status, the start of the Part D coverage can extend retroactively for several months before the date beneficiaries are notified of their PDP enrollment. GAO found that CMS did not fully implement or monitor the impact of this policy. Although beneficiaries are entitled to reimbursement for covered drug costs incurred during this retroactive period, CMS did not begin informing them of this right until March 2007. Given their vulnerability, it is unlikely that these beneficiaries would have sought reimbursement or retained proof of their drug purchases if they were not informed for their right to do so. Also, CMS made monthly payments to PDPs for providing drug coverage during retroactive periods, but did not monitor PDPs' reimbursements to beneficiaries during that period. GAO estimated that in 2006, Medicare paid PDPs millions of dollars for coverage during periods for which dual-eligible beneficiaries may not have sought reimbursement for their drugs.

Did Floyd Mayweather and Leonard Ellerbe break up for good?
Seriously though, does anyone know what happened to that guy? I'm sure it's old news to some of you, but does anyone have the low-down on why/if he was let go? I know that Mayweather Promotions office got closed down some time ago. We haven't heard anything from Leonard since like June.
Now Floyd's running around with this new girl. Ugh, the nerve of that guy.

Signet bag in Italian leopard-printed calf hair
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by yogagirldanvers Great style and size! I had my eye on the signet bag as soon as I saw it in the catalog and went to the store to see in person. It did not disappoint - smallish size but plenty big enough to hold the basics. I like the the inside slots as well as the outside pocket. I am tall so fussy about the length of a cross body - this one is plenty long with a good adjustable strap. The colors are beautiful, but I could not resist the leopard print. I may buy a solid color. September 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy Fun Little Purse This purse holds everything I need. And forces me to clean it out everyday. Instead of letting receipts and other papers stack up. I also purchased locks in other colors so I can change out to coordinate with other pieces I might be wearing. August 17, 2016

Homo sapiens has enjoyed singular success at tweaking the environment because of the unique psycho-social wiring of the human mind ( Pagel ). Hearkening back to the nature-nurture debate, the human mind is a multi-dimensional intellectual construct that emerges from the complex combination of human biology (id), psychology (ego), and sociology (superego). The human mind, and sense of self does not emerge purely in response to the growth of an operational brain. It takes healthy, well-functioning gray matter and long term, psycho-social training, learning, nurturing and emotional cultivation in order to create a context in which "the light can switch on" in a human mind. In situations where children with healthy gray matter have been undersocialized, their capacity to develop a self, mind and identity has been severely impaired. So it would seem that, in addition to being a product of the atoms that constitute the human body (nature), the mind is an emergent, "extra" phenomenon that can only coalesce as a result of a long term social-psychological care and interaction (nurture).
Hard determinists are highly skeptical of the idea that the human mind can consist of anything but–or is not reducible to–the activity of the atoms and energy (nature) that constitute the human animal. Once again, Hawking and Mlodinow emphasize their "exclusively nature" position by asserting that the human experience is entirely reducible to, and determined by the physical properties of the human animal's constituent elements:
It is hard to imagine how free will can operate if our behavior is determined by physical law, so it seems that we are no more than biological machines and that free will is just an illusion (Hawking and Mlodinow).
It is worth pointing out that Hawking and Modlinow base their assertion on an assumption, "…if our behavior is determined by physical law…" that they fail to demonstrate. While they "concede" that "human behavior is determined by human nature," they also concede that they cannot validate their hypothesis:
…it also seems reasonable to conclude that the outcome is determined in such a complicated way and with so many variables as to make it impossible in practice to predict. For that one would need a knowledge of the initial state of each of the thousand trillion trillion molecules in the human body and to solve something like that number of equations. (Hawking and Mlodinow).
The above statement is only "reasonable" for those who embrace a faith-based, superstitious commitment to determinism. Again, the most fundamental and unvarying truth that quantum science teaches is the unavoidable conundrum of quantum uncertainty ( God does play dice with the universe ). It doesn't matter how big one's computer is, or how many billions of years it might take to calculate, there is simply no way to determine, "the initial state of each of the thousand trillion trillion molecules in the human body." It boggles the mind that two eminent physicists would be so unwilling to embrace the full implications of quantum uncertainty. With apologies to Einstein, quantum science has revealed the inescapable truth that determinism is naught but a stubbornly persistent illusion. Unfortunately, the desire to sustain a superstitious conviction in a deterministic universe is so powerful that even the most sophisticated thinkers have occasionally fallen prey to an "exclusively nature" reductionism:
…all ordinary phenomena can be explained by the actions and motions of particles. For example, life itself is supposedly understandable in principle from the movements of atoms, and those atoms are made out of neutrons, protons and electrons. I must immediately say that when we state that we understand it in principle, we only mean that we think that, if we could figure everything out, we would find that there is nothing new in physics which needs to be discovered in order to understand the phenomena of life (Richard Feynman).
Whenever scientists make omniscience (i.e., "if we could figure everything out") a precondition for their conjectures, they are, to put it mildly, on the wrong track. Scientists have no business dreaming of a time when they "will know everything" because nothing of the sort will ever happen. Again, the first lesson of quantum mechanics is that it is impossible to know everything about anything–not even a single quantum particle! Omniscience is therefore an unscientific, illogical, erroneous presumption, and no one should have been more aware of that fact than Richard Feynman . As soon as scientists get the idea that they ever can, or ever will know everything, then the scientific truth-seeking process will grind to a screeching halt.

So says TMZ, which has obtained text messages sent by Yeater to a friend in which she identifies an ex-bf named Robbie as the father. The recipient of Yeater's text has asked TMZ to withhold his name.
In one text, Yeater promises that the friend will get a cut of the money she would wrangle out of Bieber. Justin Bieber's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, tells TMZ, "This information proves Mariah Yeater fabricated the story. Our independent investigation indicates Ms. Yeater never met Justin, she has consistently identified another man as the child's father, and Ms. Yeater and her coconspirators hatched this scheme in order to extort money" from Bieber.

Florence Linda "Pyjama Girl"
Learn about removing the ads from this memorial...
Sep. 12, 1905
Forest Hill
Greater London, England
Aug. 27, 1934
Victoria, Australia
Linda Agostini (12 September 1905 – 27 August 1934) was identified as the "Pyjama Girl", a murder victim found on a stretch of road in Albury, New South Wales, Australia, in September 1934.
Linda Agostini was born Florence Linda Platt in Forest Hill, a suburb of London, on 12 September 1905. As a teenager, Platt worked at a confectionery store in Surrey before travelling to New Zealand at the age of 19 after what was rumoured to be a broken romance. Platt remained in New Zealand until 1927 when she moved to Australia to live in Sydney. There she worked at a picture theatre in the city and lived in a boarding house on Darlinghurst Road in Kings Cross where accounts tell she entertained young, attractive men. Platt was a heavy drinker and a Jazz Age party-goer who had difficulty adjusting to stability. Her marriage to Italian-born Antonio Agostini in a Sydney registry office during 1930 was the beginning of an unhappy marriage that would see the couple leave for Melbourne to remove Linda from the influence of her Sydney friends.
Mrs Agostini disappeared from friends and family in late August 1934, around a week before the unidentified Pyjama Girl was found in Albury, on the New South Wales side of the border with Victoria.
The victim's body was discovered by a local man named Tom Griffith. Griffith had been leading a prize bull along the side of Howlong Road near Albury when he saw the body in a culvert running under the road. Slightly concealed and badly burnt, the body would not have been visible to anybody driving by.
It soon became apparent that the body was of a petite woman in her 20s, but her identity could not be established. After the initial investigation failed to identify her, the body was taken to Sydney where it was put on public exhibition. She was preserved in a bath of formalin for this purpose, at the Sydney University Medical School until 1942, when it was transferred to police headquarters where it remained until 1944.
Several names were suggested for the identity of the dead woman, among them Anna Philomena Morgan and Linda Agostini. Both women were missing, both bore a likeness to the Pyjama Girl and both were of the right age. However, New South Wales police satisfied themselves that neither of the missing women was the Pyjama Girl and she remained unidentified.
Contemporary belief is that Agostini was murdered around the same time as the Albury victim, and most likely in the confines of the couple's Melbourne townhouse.
In 1944, ten years after the body had been discovered, the forensic evidence was re-examined and the dental analysis of the victim was matched to Linda Agostini.
Tony Agostini had recently returned to Sydney after being held in internment camps at Orange, Hay and Loveday from 1940 to 1944. The police commissioner, William MacKay, who knew Agostini's husband before the war from when Tony had worked as a waiter at the restaurant that MacKay frequented, interviewed him. Noticing that Agostini seemed to be in a nervous state, MacKay asked him what had come over him. Tony Agostini then confessed to killing his wife.
In his statement, Agostini admitted that he had accidentally shot and killed his wife when they were living in Melbourne. Worried that he might be accused of murder, he had driven the body over the state border to Albury and had dumped it in the culvert. He had poured petrol over the body and set fire to it, to destroy the evidence.
The identification came just as public confidence in the New South Wales Police Force began to wane at their failure to catch the decade's most prolific killer and the circumstances under which Antonio Agostini "confessed" to killing his wife in their Melbourne townhouse are still very dubious today.
The arrest of Agostini was a sensation, as it meant that the Pyjama Girl had been identified. He was charged with murder and was extradited to Melbourne, where he was tried for murder. Surprisingly, he was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter instead, and was sentenced to six years' imprisonment. He was released in 1948 and deported to Italy, where he died in 1969.
The case might have been left there, but new evidence recently uncovered by Richard Evans, a Melbourne historian, casts doubt on the conclusion of the case. As detailed in his book The Pyjama Girl Mystery, Evans has pointed out discrepancies with the evidence. The pyjama girl had a different bust size to that of Linda Agostini and Agostini had a different shaped nose.
A film entitled The Pyjama Girl Case, directed by Italian Flavio Mogherini, was produced in 1977. A book written by Hugh Geddes, based on the film and bearing the same title, appeared in 1978.

I am a customer and mortgage owner.
I was told if your having problems contact us and we will help? Not only was the first response "we can't help you" and then the call was over! Hows that for customer service????????
I called back again and asked to speak to a supervisor and was told by the rep, that they could help me; I guess they didn't want to pass up my call to a higher up. Then the latest person at least said maybe they could get me more info and told me about contacting Loss Mitigation. I sent in my fax info for a hardship request. I have called back over and over and been told, just call back next week. This has been going on for a month now.
The only contact I have so far is "why are you late on your mortgage payment-when will you pay it?" I sent in a check (late), so now they say whats the problem-your up to date. I tell them my income isn't able to keep up with monthly payments, they tell me "call back next week".
They won't give me the number to loss mitigation, claiming they can't give it out?
I have been told, if your having problems with your mortgage, don't wait for help. Be proactive. Now what am I suppossed to do, just not pay it and let it foreclose before I can get some help?
What kind of company are you people investing in. I mean we tax payers give out trillions to help the banks and were told they don't have to give anyone any information about where the money went?
They tell me, call your bank and don't delay; well I'm not the one delaying. I'm here and ready to negotiate a deal. Where are you Wells Fargo?
Others tell me just let the house foreclose as the value is beyond any hope of getting your money back. Banks that do work something out, are so greedy as to piggy back the debt on the end of the contract or give you a 40 year mortgage or something that won't hurt them and yet, nearly 75 percent are going into foreclosure anyway. What does that tell you. We had the sub-prime mess and now comes the Alt A's and the ARMs into the new year. I think the Bankers are in denial, not me. They just hope I will go away. But I won't. Expect to hear from me until this thing is solved. I'm reading, you think this year is bad, wait till next year. Im losing some 15 percent value on my house a month. I may never get the value back and they won't talk to me until I'm deep in the red.
I suggest the company work with me or find me talking about them and not to them. Seems this is okay with Wells Fargo. They don't know me very well........
Citi is a dead on arrival with undisclosed idiocy. it is worse off now than before Paulson's desperate
money infusion. They are burning through cash like a desperate crack whore. Atleast crack whores are not
getting taxpayer billions. Let C go
the way of the dead. To the grave yard. It is not going to be resusitated. Sorry.
STill Here........
Crash course
all you need to know..................
I feel your pain, however, who put the gun to your head and made you take out the mortgage?
Your house value declined and you want the bank to take the hit? If your house had appreciated in value would you want to share the gain with the bank?
Thought so.....stop whining, grow a spine, and take charge of your life.
Whining on this board ain't gonna fix anything.
Next time.....RENT
It's easy to talk when your not in the same position. Two, when you find out the game was rigged from the beginning, well then yes, I have a right to complain.
Especially when banks get tax payer money and then turn around and use it to buy other companies and pay share holder dividends and exec salary bonuses.
So your the one that has no clue.............
Simplified way to think:
When you dont make as much as you used to, your financial health decreases. You may lose your life savings and even your home.
When your income increases your financial health improves.
Its more simple than blaming "them".
When the Madoffs of the world are at home on bail.... That says it all.
I am going to give you some advice.
Stockpile as much CASH as you can.
Pay off your CREDIT CARDS if you can because you will need these.
Next, blow off your MORTAGE PAYMENT and put the money in this account
You can earn 4% SAFELY with FDIC protection.
You need to get RID of that abatross of a house which is losing value - DONT GIVE WELLS FARGO ONE MORE DIME - CASH IS KING IN 2009. Let them FORCLOSE - I am hearing that they cannot evict you for up to 1.5 YEARS and you will be able to STASH THE CASH. WELLS FARGO wont deal with you as long as you send them a PENNY. LET THEM FORCLOSE - I REPEAT LET THEM - This will get their attention and allow you to save $$$$ - which is PRECIOUS NOW. The US dollar is strenghtening and those with CASH will be the winners in 2009!
Just MOW the lawn and keep up the property as best you can.
elvisprty, Yes I hear that from a lot of people and it sure sounds like they are right! Still nobody is willing to take my case, just the same old BS. We will email loss mitigation and let theme know........you called?
Anything else we can do for you sir; oh, by the way we are taping this and it can be used to collect our money owed.
They are being truthful. Even though you send your mortgage payment to WFC, C, BAC, whomever, it does not mean they "own" your mortgage. I am a former employee at WFC in the mortgage division. One of my first jobs there was "packaging" the loans for securization. There is very small amount of paper that WFC has on it's books. As far as someone not telling you that, remember you are dealing with an extremely large employee base and more than likely those employees do not know or understand the process a loan goes through. That is from my experience from working there. Most people go through the drone of their work and do not know how a loan moves along the pipeline. Hell most of the population in general does not know.
Anyway, I'm beginning to ramble.
Peace out.
What a scam. Wells Fargo and other banks don't have to account for how they spend tax payer money and Ive got folks here calling me an conspiracy nut?
Well tell me how it works fellas. How does one steal tax money and snub their noses to the world. Sounds to me like the banks are in charge!
And arrogant as ever.......
Sam, it would be nice if instead of venom you actually included some facts if you know any? The Banks didn't steal anything...in WFC's case
They were forced to take a government loan they did NOT want. In return they pay 5% interest for a few years and then the interest starts going higher. In addition to the interest they also had to issue warrants so that if the stock goes up during this time the gov't has the right to buy shares cheap. WFC could have borrowed money for less if they wanted too but had NO option of doing this private sector. Like any other business or person when they got the loan dollars they went into the general finances and at that point you can't say this dollar came from here and this one from there, what the heck do you want anyway? It is obvious you have no clue about WFC finances so please find something you do know about and post there.
Congratulations your the Vice President of a company and you still cant pay your bills haha..
Sam, the servicer is the party that collects the payments (among other things), so if you were provided with a different address to send your payments that just means the servicing rights to your loan were sold. That doesn't necessarily mean that your loan was sold. As for why the servicer didn't tell you, I can't answer that one. I don't know what servicers are permitted to tell borrowers. Maybe someone else can help us with that one. Anyone?
If it were me, I would do all I could do before mailing the keys to the servicer and checking in to a Holiday Inn Express. It's always an option, but not the best one IMHO. Your credit rating is an asset worth protecting.
Best of luck to you, Sam.

We spent 3 1/2 days in Amsterdam, thoroughly enjoying the city life, museums, great food, and great architecture. We booked the pre-cruise hotel through HAL, Renaissance Amsterdam. The hotel was accessible, the breakfast buffet excellent, staff helpful. There were some problems with the design of the accessible room-apparently Europeans also believe the USA theory that all wheelchair users are 6 foot acrobats. The bars in the bathroom were designed for that person, three mirrors were all above the level for someone in a wheelchair. The coffee bar and glasses were on a high shelf. The room itself was spacious, the white bathroom exceptionally clean, room quiet and comfortable.
We stopped in Rostock, Tallin, Helsinki, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Copenhagen. We explored on our own in all cities except St Petersburg. We found transportation to be a challenge everywhere except Amsterdam and Helsinki, where trams were wheelchair accessible. Cab fares were high, as were the price of meals as compared to USA.
In St Petersburg we had two amazing days with Alla Tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable, moving our party of 4 through the busy sites in such a way that we missed most of the large group tours. In the evening we attended the Alexandrinski Ballet-which was a magical experience in an over 200 year old, ornate theatre. The ballet, orchestra, and set were all outstanding. I highly recommend Alla Tours and the Alexandrinski in St Petersburg, Wish we had been able to stay 3 days instead of 2.
Every city was beautiful and unique in its own way. We did not go to Stockholm because the ship docked, apparently for the first time, in a port that required 1 1/2 hour train ride into Stockholm.
The Eurodam is larger than we usually enjoy. The modern decor is interesting. We found bathrooms in the public spaces that were designated accessible, but had no bars and extremely slipper floors.
We loved the Silk Lounge for its views and friendly staff.
One again, we found the entertainment on HAL to be poor. We went to the first night show, left on the 3rd song, and did not go again, so perhaps they improved. The dancers and singer were never working on the same beat.
One thing that we found unpleasant on this cruise were the number of cruisers who were just plan rude to the staff and to other cruisers. We have never seen this level of rudeness on a HAL cruise from travelers who were clearly old enough to know better. People cut in line, sometimes shoving. We saw outright fits at the customer service desk and poor treatment to some of the wait staff. HAL of course has no control over this. Everyone needs to remember to bring their manners with them when traveling!
For those who want to see a number of Baltic Cities in a short period of time, this is a great trip.
Excellent Hotel Renaissance Amsterdam in the City center, near trams. Amsterdam is a walking friendly city, although there are some obstacles to wheelchairs. Many trams are wheelchair accessible.
We purchased the Amsterdam Holland card, which saved $ on museums. We never understood until the last day that we were to take our transportation card to the Central Station! Each time we got on a tram and showed it they let us stay, but never did anything with the card. Finally the last day we were told by one attendant that we what we needed to do!
Food was excellent everywhere we went, although higher prices than we are used to in US.
Sunday in Copenhagen is extremely crowded. There were tour groups everywhere. We did a walking tour and saw many wonderful buildings, a great garden. I would like to visit when it was less crowded and public buildings open.
Beautiful city, well laid out. Trams accessible!
Food good.
Amos museum is a private home that is now a museum with a truly excellent selection of art.
Church of the rock is an architectural wonder.
We enjoyed the ambience. However, the city is on hills, many cobblestones, which made it difficult in the wheelchair. We had no luck finding public transportation that was accessible.
We took a cab into town-20 Euros each way.
When we left we could not find a cab. We went to the stop and cab drivers did not know where the cruise ship was docked. The third driver who came knew, and we got back in time.
We were disappointed in this port. We had not realized that it was an hour and half train ride both ways to Stockholm. Nynasham was a quaint port town and we were told that this was the first time HAL had docked there. I could not go ashore, because the steps were too steep to the tender. Husband and daughter went and enjoyed the ONE Hop on Hop Off bus. They also brought back some magnificent pastries.
Emailing the tourist bureau I was told there was accessible transportation. Not so. The trams are from Czechoslovakia, which tells you their age!
We took a cab to Catherine's home that was built by Peter the Great. A nice tour, nice accessible bathroom with an interesting amenity-a shower head and drain for a shower!
There is a lovely park, with a pond that is home to a pair of black swans.
Our cab driver came back at a set time, and took us to the city center of the Old Town. We then worked our way downhill, had lunch, and saw a number of old, interesting buildings. Our daughter bought a T-shirt from the Texas Bar in Tallin.
