Hi and welcome to the forums!
You missed the 9000 forum but we can get the moderator to move it later.
Go to MEDIA/MENU KEY/EXPLORE/MEDIA CARD/from there you would find which folder you
put the media into. Once found you can copy, delete, move etc.
As above you can do the same with device memory, by selecting it, instead of media card.
You can also do it via PC by connecting through the USB and using Windows explorer. The media card will
look like a flash drive. You can then drag and drop whatever you wish to the correct folder.
You can't however access the device memory via PC.
Please remember to resolve your thread. Put the check mark in the green box that contained your answer! Thanks

The croissants really made this dish I think. It was much better than the usual bread cubes!! I used Edam cheese on top of the chicken and cheddar cheese at the end on top of the dish. Thought it worked well. Thanks Miss Annie
I used all mozzarella cheese (cant beat that stringiness!) Tasty and loved the croissant crunch, I obly had it in the oven for 1 hour and it was a little dry, will make it again but check sooner. Thanks for posting.
I'm sorry, Miss Annie......this was okay, but not great. It's an interesting combination of flavors. There were just too many eggs in this (it was almost custard like)which didn't go so well with the green onions and chicken.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
Allen / Mamet / Postmodernism
It is strange that the postmodern tendency in critical thought has not been applied in the most obvious way to cinema -- as a way of invalidating the auteur theory. Cinema is, after all, the modernist art form par excellence; and to a certain extent it is the burden of postmodern critique to undo the totalizing artistic concerns of modernism. As De Mul, paraphrasing Lyotard, writes of postmodernism:
We could agree with Lyotard…that postmodernism was implicit in modernism from its inception…. [O]ne could regard postmodernism as a critical reflection upon the starting points of modern existence that was made possible by modernism itself: post-modernism forms, in a manner of speaking, the guilty conscience of modernism, following, like a shadow, the modern aspiration toward an all-embracing meaning. (De Mul, 19)
De Mul's insight here is amply borne out in cinema: almost any film could be understood to employ seemingly postmodern techniques of allusion, pastiche, or meta-narrative. What does not change is the critical tendency, which emerged from earlier film criticism and has been epitomized mainly by Andrew Sarris, to regard films as having a single artistic authorship, which permits the critic to indulge the "modern aspiration toward an all-embracing meaning" intended by the auteur. I would like to offer a postmodern critique of the idea of the auteur by examining two films which have virtually nothing in common, save fertile ground for critics who still cling tight to the auteur theory -- these are Woody Allen's 1994 comedy Bullets Over Broadway and David Mamet's 2004 military thriller Spartan. I hope to demonstrate that, although these two filmmakers share a similar career trajectory, the notion that any film can be shown to have a stable artistic meaning intended by a single artist is problematized, if not wholly invalidated, by a postmodern critical approach.
Auteur theory, with its emphasis on a totalizing artistic consciousness on the part of a film's director, would seem to be modernism plain and simple: the same modernist-inflected critical approach that insists that (e.g.) "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot is a fully-realized creation of a single aesthetic vision, rather than a congeries of quotations and allusions forced into coherence by an amenable reader, is the critical approach that permits us to refer to any film, which necessarily requires the participation of hundreds of individuals in terms of performance, production, and technological assistance, as being the artistic "creation" of a single person (usually a man, to indicate one problem with auteur theory that might offer fertile ground for feminist critique). To a certain degree, the critic is falling into the trap of identification: Hollywood-style screenplays focus on a single protagonist, and the critic of a film would like to identify the auteur as the protagonist of whatever critical narrative is to be constructed around the film. Bullets Over Broadway and Spartan are alike in terms of their obsessive focus around a single protagonist: in the first, it is John Cusack's playwright, forced to sully his artistic vision by casting a gangster's moll in one of the leading roles to gain financing, and in the second, it is Val Kilmer's Special Forces sergeant, drawn into a "War on Terror"-style clandestine military operation involving the president's daughter. In both films, the protagonist's dilemma is presented as an ethical one, despite the fact that Allen's film is obviously a light comedy and Mamet's a macho military thriller. The critic seems positively invited, then, to understand each protagonist, then, as a stand-in for the auteur. But should we?
In the case of Bullets Over Broadway, it seems unavoidable: John Cusack joins a long string of actors (Kenneth Branagh, Larry David, Owen Wilson) in Allen's later films who seems to be playing the "Woody Allen part." And as a film about the realization of a script with actors and direction and a fickle audience, Bullets Over Broadway would seem in some way to be about the vicissitudes of the creation of drama. It is, however, a knowing pastiche of prior films, owing most to the Judy Holliday vehicle Born Yesterday, which itself recasts Shaw's Pygmalion as a story about a gangster's girlfriend with acting aspirations. Robin Wood has critiqued Allen's status as auteur on precisely such a basis, noting that a double-standard seems to apply on the part of critics who wish to insist…[continue]

Convert Canon IXUS 1000 HS, PowerShot Elph 500 HS MVI files with MVI video converter
How to Convert MVI, HD MVI, Canon PowerShot MVI to All Popular Video Formats
This tutorial talks about how to convert two kinds of MVI video files to various video formats. One is Canon camera videos with a name beginning with "MVI_ XXXX." The other is MVI video on the MVI discs. Canon PowerShot camera videos with a name beginning with "MVI_ XXXX." actually is not new format video. It is AVI videos. MVI format video on the MVI discs is DVD-based format loaded with a full album's worth of music, compelling video content plus a variety of exciting interactive features (for example lyrics).
For users who want to convert MVI videos on MVI disc, they always failed because most of the video converters will not accept such video format. Some video converters may accept but can only convert part of the video.
Using the link in the Resources section at the bottom of the page, download the Pavtube Video Converter. Double-click the downloaded file, then click "OK" and "RUN." Follow the prompts to install the MVI Converter. Click "Finish" when the installation is complete, and MVI Converter will launch automatically.
Drag the desired MVI files into the "Input File Name" box.
Click the "To MPEG" button above the Input File Name box. It tells the converter that this is the format you wish to convert to.
Type in a desired output location and name in the "Output File Name" box.
Click "Convert Now!" and the file will begin to convert.
MVI files (or Musical Video Interactive files) are usually used on interactive DVDs or can be shot by some brands of digital cameras, such as Canon IXUS 1000 HS, Canon PowerShot Elph 500 HS, PowerShot S95/90/60, and so on. MVI is a rare format, and external programs on PCs and Macs can't play these files. So if you want to replay MVI files on other media devices, the first thing you should do is to convert them to a format playable by your media devices, such as AVI, WMV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, DVD, etc.
Although Canon PowerShot camera videos are in AVI format, Canon PowerShot camera users usually have problem of importing such MVI files to Windows Movie Maker, iMovie for edit and transfer the Canon PowerShot to iPad, iPod, PSP, PS3, Xbox and other portable devices for enjoy on the go. It is because AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format that may contains different audio and video codec that Windows Movie Maker, iMovie and other application such as Microsoft PowerPoint cannot recognize.

This Sceptred Isle, Volume 1
BBC Books, 1997 - History - 616 pages
This history of Britain begins with the Roman invasion in 55 BC and ends with Queen Victoria's death in 1901. Written to accompany the award-winning BBC Radio 4 series, the work brings to life the events and personalities that have shaped our nation. It tells of wars, bloodshed, murder and revenge, and of the tremendous social changes which the people of these islands have witnessed over the centuries. Weaving his text with accounts from contemporary chronicles and diaries, and extracts from Winston Churchill's ""A History of the English-Speaking Peoples"", Christopher Lee describes the evolution of Britain's great institutions, the powers of its kings and queens, and charts its political and economic development.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Du Page County, Eighteenth
Judicial Circuit; the Hon. ROBERT A. NOLAN, Judge, presiding.
Judgment affirmed.
Rehearing denied and supplemental opinion April 1, 1969.
The defendant, who was charged with having committed the offense of driving while his operator's license was revoked, in violation of section 6-303 of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Act (Ill Rev Stats 1965, c 95 1/2, par 6-303), waived his right to trial by jury, was tried by the court, found guilty and sentenced to ten days in the county jail, with credit for three days, considered as served. He appealed from this judgment.
He was arrested on the East-West Tollway in Du Page County and was issued a traffic ticket and complaint charging him with the violation of section 6-119 (d) of the Act (Ill Rev Stats 1965, c 95 1/2, par 6-119(d)) in that he was driving in violation of the restrictions imposed by his restricted driver's permit. One week later, the arresting officer filed the complaint under which the defendant was tried and sentenced, and thereafter, the complaint, charging a violation of section 6-119(d) of the Act, was dismissed.
At the trial, the People offered, and the court admitted in evidence, a certificate of the Secretary of State (herein called Secretary) which set forth the defendant's record with reference to the status of his operator's license. It reflected that his license had been revoked on August 5, 1965; that a restricted driver's permit was issued to him on October 6, 1965, to expire October 6, 1966; that the Secretary received a report of the defendant's conviction of a motor vehicle violation, and on December 20, 1965, extended the revocation of the defendant's operator's license until August 5, 1967; and that the defendant did not have a valid operator's license on the date of said certificate: August 23, 1966. The arresting officer testified on behalf of the People.
The defendant did not testify, but did offer and the court received in evidence a copy of his restricted driving permit which carried an expiration date of October 6, 1966. It reflected that the restrictions permitted the defendant to operate his car between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday of each week, within the Chicago area, for his transportation while performing his duties as an insurance salesman.
It was 10:25 p.m., on August 6, 1966, when the defendant was arrested. He had visited his father in Aurora and, at the time of his arrest, was en route to Chicago. It would, thus, appear that he was then and there in violation of both the time and place restrictions specified in his driving permit.
Upon appeal, the defendant contends that his conviction for driving while his operator's license was revoked is not authorized by section 6-303 of the Act since that section exempts from its provisions, any person who is allowed to drive by a restricted driving permit; that the complaint under which he was convicted failed to set forth the nature and elements of the offense of driving in violation of the restrictions which were imposed; and that the court erred in admitting into evidence the said Secretary's certificate.
The People contend that the issuance of a restricted driving permit to a person whose operator's license has been revoked, suspends the terms of such revocation only during the times and under the circumstances specified in the restricted permit; and that at all other times, the revocation is in full force and effect.
Section 6-303 of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Act provides that any person who drives a motor vehicle on any highway of this State at a time when his operator's license is revoked as provided under the Act, except as may be allowed by a restricted driving permit issued under this Act, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than seven days nor more than one year and there may be imposed in addition a fine of not more than $1,000.
Section 1-157 of the Act defines the terms, "Revocation of operator's . . . license" as follows:
"The termination by formal action of the Secretary of a person's license . . . to operate a motor vehicle on the public highways, which termination shall not be subject to renewal or restoration except that an application for a new license may be presented and acted upon by the Secretary after the expiration of at least one year after the date of revocation."
Section 6-208(b) of the Act states that once an operator's license has been revoked, he is not entitled to have it renewed or restored, but rather, he may apply to the Secretary for a new license, after the expiration of at least one year from the date of revocation.
Section 6-205 of the Act provides for the mandatory revocation of an operator's license upon the Secretary receiving a report of the operator's conviction of the offenses therein listed. And, section 6-206 thereof provides for the discretionary revocation by the Secretary, of an operator's license under the circumstances therein enumerated. Each of said sections authorizes the Secretary to issue a driving permit to a person whose operator's license has been revoked, which will grant to him the privilege of driving his car between his residence and place of employment or other proper limits, in order to prevent undue hardship; and each section provides:
"A restricted driving permit issued hereunder shall be subject to cancellation, revocation and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for like cause as an operator's or chauffeur's license issued hereunder may be cancelled, revoked or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation or suspension of a restricted driving permit."
Under the provisions of section 6-210 of the Act, any person whose operator's license has been revoked shall not drive a motor vehicle on a public highway in Illinois after such revocation, until an operator's license has been obtained as permitted under the Act, except as permitted by a restricted driver's permit issued under the provisions of section 6-205(a).
It is apparent from these provisions, when read together, that it was the intention of the legislature that there should be no automatic restoration of an operator's license after the one-year period of its revocation, or after such revocation as extended; and that the issuance of a restricted driving permit to a person whose operator's license has been revoked, does not ipso facto restore or renew the operator's license which has been revoked, but rather, such driver's permit authorizes the licensee to drive a car upon the highways of the State, subject to the restrictions provided therein, and not otherwise. A driver's permit is not an operator's license, rather, it is a special type of permit issued to a driver whose operator's license has been revoked, in order that he may drive his car subject to the restrictions specified and thereby avoid the undue hardship which would otherwise be imposed upon him and his family. If the restricted driver violates the restrictions specified in the permit, the permit may be revoked by the Secretary.
In the light of these statutory provisions, we believe it was the obvious intent of the legislature that a driver whose operator's license has been revoked and to whom a restricted driving permit has been issued who drives in violation of the restrictions imposed by the permit, is guilty of the offense of driving while his operator's license is revoked. We find no ambiguity in this legislation.
The defendant's operator's license was revoked. He was granted a restricted driving permit to alleviate a hardship situation. He was permitted to drive in accordance with the restrictions of his permit. Under the provisions of section 6-303 of the Act, any person who drives a motor vehicle on the public highways while his operator's license is revoked except as may be allowed by a restricted driving permit, shall be punished as provided therein.
Section 6-119 of the Act authorizes the Secretary, for good cause shown, to impose restrictions suitable to the licensee's driving ability, with respect to the type of, or special mechanical control device required on, a motor vehicle which the licensee may operate, or such other restrictions applicable to the licensee as the Secretary may determine to be appropriate to assure safe operation of the vehicle by the licensee. The defendant in the case at bar was not under a restriction with reference to any mechanical control which was applicable to him by virtue of some physical handicap. Consequently, section 6-119 had no application or pertinency in the case at bar.
The defendant also urges that the complaint against him failed to set forth the nature and elements of the offense with which he was charged. It read,
"that at or about the hour of 10:25 P.M. on or about the 9th day of August A.D. 1966 in said County and State Sotirios T. Manikas hereinafter called the defendant committed the offense of driving while license revoked in violation of Section 6-303 of Chapter 95 1/2 of the Illinois Revised Statutes of said State, in this, to wit; That the said defendant operated a motor vehicle, to-wit; a 1966 Chevrolet bearing 1966 Illinois motor vehicle registration number PD2497, along and upon the East-West Tollway at or near milepost 11 1/2; that at said time and place defendant was operating a motor vehicle while his operator's license was revoked."
The defendant was not charged with the violation of the restrictions of his driving permit; he was charged with operating a motor vehicle while his operator's license was revoked. At no time did he file a motion for a bill of particulars pursuant to section 114-2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Ill Rev Stats 1965, c 38, par 114-2).
We are of the opinion that the complaint was sufficiently specific to inform the defendant of the nature of the charge that he was called upon to defend, and that the record of his conviction is a bar to a subsequent prosecution for the same offense. See: People v. Crockett, 41 Ill.2d 226, 242 N.E.2d 235, 236, 237 (1968); People v. White, 24 Ill. App.2d 324, 329-332 incl., 164 N.E.2d 823 (1960).
The defendant also urges that the trial court erred in admitting into evidence, on behalf of the People, the certificate of the Secretary relative to the status of his operator's license. Duly authenticated or certified copies, or transcripts of public records, are admissible in evidence whenever the originals thereof would be admissible. People v. White, supra, 333.
Section 6-123 of the Act provides that "The Secretary of State shall maintain appropriate records of all licenses and permits refused, cancelled, revoked or suspended and of the revocation and suspension of driving privileges of persons. . . ." Section 6-124 provides that the Secretary may furnish, upon request, an abstract of a driver's record.
A certified copy of these records of the Secretary, maintained pursuant to statutory mandate, under his signature and seal, are admissible in evidence. Thus, the trial court properly admitted into evidence the Secretary's certificate relative to the status of the defendant's operator's license. People v. White, supra, 333.
Section 6-303 of the Act was amended in 1967 by adding thereto a provision that "an abstract issued by the Secretary of State pursuant to section 6-124 . . . on request of a law enforcement agency, for the record of a named person as to the status of his motor vehicle operator's license shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated. . . ."
In Lubezny v. Ball, 389 Ill. 263, 59 N.E.2d 645 (1945), at page 266 the court stated:
"In ascertaining the meaning and intent of the General Assembly in the construction of statutes, where no specific provision appears to aid such construction, recourse may be had to the language of subsequent acts of the same lawmaking body."
If any question ever existed as to the propriety of admitting the Secretary's certificate in evidence, it was removed by the amendment to section 6-303.
The defendant offered no rebuttal evidence to the record of the Secretary. He did not attempt to prove that he was driving in accord with the restrictions contained in his restricted driving permit. The evidence was sufficient to prove the identity of the defendant, establish the corpus delicti, and to prove that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
On review, we will not disturb the judgment finding the defendant guilty on the basis that the evidence is not sufficient to convict, unless the evidence is so palpably contrary to the judgment, or unreasonable, improbable or unsatisfactory as to justify entertaining doubt as to the defendant's guilt. Such doubt does not exist in the case at bar. Consequently, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
ABRAHAMSON, P.J. and SEIDENFELD, J., concur.
Supplement to Opinion on Denial of Petition for Rehearing
On petition for rehearing, the defendant strenuously contends that "the complaint failed to set forth the nature and elements of the offense of driving while license revoked in that it failed to allege that with respect to each element described by the statute defining the offense of driving while license revoked, the defendant acted while having one of the mental states required by the Criminal Code of 1961."
The complaint is set forth verbatim in the opinion.
The rationale of the defendant is that:
"A `charge' is defined as `a written statement presented to a court accusing a person of the commission of an offense and includes (a) complaint. . . .' (Ill Rev Stats, c 38, § 102-8 (1967).
"`Offense' is defined as `violation of any penal statute of this State. . . .' (Ill Rev Stats, c 38, § 102-15 (1967). (Emphasis added.)
"The phrase `penal statute' is not defined by the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963; however, that phrase has been defined . . . in Superior Laundry & Linen Supply Co. v. Edmanson-Bock Caterers, Inc., 11 Ill. App.2d 132, at 134, 136 N.E.2d 610 (1956), as follows:
"A penal statute is defined to be `one which imposes a forfeiture or penalty for transgressing its provisions, or for doing a thing prohibited.' (Potter's Dwarris on Statutes, p 74.) A penalty `is in the nature of punishment for the non-performance of an act or for the performance of an unlawful act. It involves the idea of punishment, whether enforced by a civil or criminal procedure.'";
that section 6-303 is a penal statute; that under section 111-3(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the complaint must set forth the nature and elements of the offense charged; and that the complaint failed to allege an essential element of the offense; namely, that the defendant acted either "intentionally," "knowingly," "recklessly," or "negligently."
He further argues that section 4-9 of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Ill Rev Stats 1967, c 38, § 4-9) sets forth specific tests by which the courts of Illinois are to determine whether an offense is one which involves absolute liability; that section 4-9 provides:
"A person may be guilty of an offense without having, as to each element thereof, one of the mental states described in Sections 4-4 through 4-7 if the offense is a misdemeanor which is not punishable by incarceration or by a fine exceeding $500, or the statute defining the offense clearly indicates a legislative purpose to impose absolute liability for the conduct described." (Emphasis added.);
and that the first test requires a determination of whether the offense is a misdemeanor which is not punishable by incarceration or by a fine exceeding $500; that a "misdemeanor" is defined as "any offense other than a felony. . . ." (Ill Rev Stats 1967, c 38, § 2-11); that a "felony" is defined as "an offense punishable with death or by imprisonment in the penitentiary" (Ill Rev Stats 1967, c 38, § 2-7); that since a violation of section 6-303 of the Motor Vehicle Act is punishable by imprisonment for not less than seven days nor more than one year and in addition by a fine of not more than $1,000, the offense is a misdemeanor; that under section 4-9 of the Criminal Code, a person may not be guilty of this offense without having as an element thereof, one of the mental states described in sections 4-4 through 4-7 unless the statute defining the offense clearly indicates a legislative purpose to impose absolute liability for the conduct described, and that such legislative purpose is not clearly indicated in section 6-303.
The Committee Comments with reference to section 4-9 of the Criminal Code, set forth in SHA ch 38, pages 186 through 188, relate the problems attendant upon drafting the sections of the Criminal Code pertaining to mental state requirements and absolute liability. At page 188, the Committee Comments state:
"A very unsatisfactory situation thus existed in Illinois: numerous provisions appeared which were absolute in language; only a few of them had been interpreted as to their mental-state requirements; many of the remainder were felonies, or misdemeanors punishable by incarceration or severe fine; and no adequate rule existed for determining whether a particular provision, not yet interpreted by the courts, was to be regarded as implying a mental-state element or as imposing absolute liability. (The usual methods of interpretation are summarized in Remington, `Liability Without Fault Criminal Statutes,' 1956 Wis L Rev 625, 629-32.)
"Section 4-9 represents only a partial solution of the problem a general restrictive rule of interpretation. Another part of the solution is in the rephrasing of the Code provisions which define the specific offenses, to indicate clearly the intended mental-state elements, and the offenses in which mental state, for some cogent policy reason, is not an element.
"The first part of section 4-9 recognizes the type of offense which carries so little culpability that incarceration is not a part of the penalty, and the fine is less than $500. As indicated above, nearly one-third of the former Illinois code provisions which did not express mental state were in this category, as were many of the penal provisions appearing outside of the Code. In view of the difficulty of enforcing such provisions if mental state must be proved in each instance, the assumption seems proper that in these instances the omission of such a requirement is intended to create absolute liability. (See Model Penal Code Sec 2.05, comment at 145 (Tent Draft No. 4, 1955); Sayre, `Public Welfare Offenses,' 33 Col L Rev 55, 68-72, 78-79 (1933).)
"In addition to permitting a construction requiring absolute liability in offenses punishable by incarceration or by a fine of not more than $500, the second part of section 4-9 expresses the policy that in other offenses not including a mental state in the definition only a clearly indicated legislative intent to create absolute liability should be recognized, and in all other instances, a mental-state requirement should be implied as an application of the general rule that an offense consists of an act accompanied by a culpable mental state, as expressed in Section 4-3. (See Model Penal Code, sec 2.05, comment at 145-6 (Tent Draft No. 4, 1955); Sayre, supra at 68-72, 79-83.)"
Section 6-303 is not a part of the Criminal Code. Consequently, it was not redrafted, along with other sections of the Code, to reflect legislative intent of absolute liability. The section is legislation of a regulatory, police and public welfare nature which involves the violation of laws pertaining to motor vehicles and safety.
Subsection (b) of section 6-303 of the Motor Vehicles Act (Ill Rev Stats 1967, c 95 1/2, par 6-303(b)), provides:
"The Secretary of State upon receiving a report of the conviction of any person under this Section upon a charge of driving a vehicle while the license or permit or privilege of such person was suspended, except as may be allowed by a restricted driving permit issued under this Act, or upon receiving a report of the conviction of any person of any violation indicating said person was operating a motor vehicle during the time when said person's license, permit or privilege was suspended, shall extend the period of such suspension for an additional like period, and if the period of suspension has then expired, the Secretary of State shall be authorized to suspend said person's license or permit or privilege for the same period of time as the suspension which had expired, and if the conviction was upon a charge of driving while a license or permit or privilege was revoked, except as may be allowed by a restricted driving permit issued under this Act, or if the conviction was upon a charge which indicated that a vehicle was operated during the time when the license, permit or privilege of said person was revoked, the Secretary of State shall not issue a license for an additional period of 1 year from the date of conviction if such conviction was obtained after the date such person would have been entitled to apply for a new license."
This subsection clearly manifests a legislative intent to further restrict the erring driver and to protect the safety of the public by the additional restrictions therein imposed. Such provision manifests a legislative purpose to impose absolute liability for the conduct described in subsection 6-303(a).
In People v. Jensen, 24 Ill. App.2d 302, 164 N.E.2d 228 (1960), the court pertinently construed this section in these words:
"The offense under the statute, so far as material, is driving a motor vehicle on a highway at a time when the operator's license is revoked the particular distance the defendant may have so driven under such circumstances is immaterial so far as commission of the offense is concerned. The particular intent, knowledge, moral turpitude, if any, or purity of motive, if any, of the defendant are also immaterial on the question of guilt under this particular statute: Cf. People v. Player (1941), 377 Ill. 417. Price v. People (1884) 109 Ill. 109, referred to by the defendant, did not involve the present statute or the present offense."
The Criminal Code was enacted after the Jensen opinion was filed. Generally, a statute should not be construed to effect a change in settled law of the state unless its terms clearly require such construction. People v. Bernette, 30 Ill.2d 359, 374, 197 N.E.2d 436 (1964); Sternberg Dredging Co. v. Estate of Sternberg, 10 Ill.2d 328, 333, 334, 140 N.E.2d 125 (1957).
The terms of section 6-303(a) do not indicate the implication of a mental state requirement. In fact, we believe that the terms of section 6-303(b) negate such requirement.
We conclude that the violation of section 6-303 of the Motor Vehicle Act is an offense which involves absolute liability and that the mental state of the offender is not an essential element of the offense of driving while license is revoked. Accordingly, we adhere to the opinion as originally adopted, and the petition for rehearing is denied.

Boston's Sidewalks Expose Poetry When It Rains
Pedestrians in Boston should feel lucky to get caught in the rain. Some of the sidewalks in the city have poems written on them, and the words aren't visible unless the sidewalks are wet. "Raining Poetry," an art installation that launched in April 2016, is a collaboration between Boston's City Hall and the nonprofit group Mass Poetry. The poems -- including works by Langston Hughes and Elizabeth McKim -- were selected by the city's Poet Laureate and all have connections to Beantown. Each one is stenciled onto concrete sidewalks with a water-repellant paint that is invisible on sunny days, and they all touch on themes of rain and water.

Sadi Akel from Turkey
I read unfair and stupid comments about Erciyes. I think these jealous people are nouveaux riches with bad will.
Erciyes is not only one of the best skiing resort in Europe but also in the World. For exemple, it is better than Portillo in Chile. Erciyes has many chances than the other ones because it is a new skiing paradise. With its 3917 meter peak Erciyes looks like Zermatt and it is terrific.
It is cheap and easy to reach.

All brand new gondolas for 6 and all coverd cabins for 4, made by DoppelMayer.

can elmas from Turkey
Very close to town, served three times a day with municipality bus service. Easy to get to with car when road is not icy.
Latest developments have increased the skiabale domain, now there are three interconnected locations. Tekir the old resort, Hisarcık new resort with two chairs and two planned for 2013 and Hacılar with one cabin and one chair.
Wind is the worst thing in Erciyes, when present makes it difficult to run facilities in Tekir and Hisarcık, Hacılar is more protected on the North side of mountain so that gives alternative. Once connections are open it may be be largest skiable domain in Turkey.
Slopes at Tekir and Hisarcık are blue red, Hacılar also has sections of Red. But best part of Erciyes would be off-piste skiing between the lifts when the snow is fresh. Although wind sweeps many rocks and make off-piste a bit dangerous.
If planned lifts and pistes are open on 2013 season it may be worth going for few days, just make sure it is not a windy week.

Bozorgzadegan Amir from Iran
I heard about Erciyes ski resort in central Anatoli south of Kayseri with it's rapid developments going on..., couple of days ago when I was skiing with a TRT member in Palandoken, Erzurum.
He said Erciyes will have unbelievable 200 km tracks next year during its extensions!
To feel such a figure need to think about number of plough machines and the time needed to compact the resort each day!?
The Erciyes mt. is volcanic and more or less warm. and it means the snow won't be stable in some parts.
By the way, I hope to be able to ski there during next ski season, to describe what I see and feel in new developed Erciyes...
The positive point of this resort for Iranian, is available rail transportation between. although, it is a long way regarding time and distance. but anyway, it is fun for free time eagers like adventurous retires!

Oscar from Turkey
Unfortunately, Mt Erciyes is not a ski resort. It is just a disorderly slope covered with snow and open for bar-b-q activities, snow-mobile and sledge rides. The lifts are only to rid you of your money and once you pay you are on your own with no measures of security whatsoever. You can be hit by a snow-mobile, bump into a bar-b-q crowd and even be chased by wild dogs. Never visit Mt Erciyes for a ski trip. I especially warn you against the Zumrut lifts. These guys are only interested in getting your money out of your pocket. They do not think they have any responsibility for your time on the piste. With poor season and snow, I really think the pistes will be closed in a few years anyway. I just hope that time comes soon.

Saygın Yılmaz from Turkey
The resort at Mt Erciyes has a major problem. Snowmobiles are everywhere on slopes. One of our friends was hit by a snowmobile last Saturday leaving him with a broken leg. Anyone can drive a snowmobile thanks to rental shops in Erciyes. The worst part is that there is no emergency aid service in the mountain. We could hardly find a splint for our injured friend. Overall, the mountain is a nightmare that you wouldn't want to spend time on. Never, ever prefer Mt Erciyes.

alihan from Turkey
I love this Mount because this Mount has many pistes for skiing or snowboarding. If you love skiing you can visit this Mount. There are many hotels in Erciyes which are luxurious. I stayed in an ace Erciyes hotel. In this hotel all the workers are now English, German and Russian. All the workers were very helpful. If you want professional pistes, Erciyes has many pistes like that. Turkey is good and a very helpful country but when you go to Turkey you have one problem; many people don't speak English but all people want help us. My opinion is if you go to the Turkey you need to visit Erciyes...

Gal Shaine from Israel
Ill start with my bottom line: Erciyes is not a ski site you (the average skier) drive 300 Km (or more)to get to, and definitely do not take an international (connection) flight, to ski here! If you are already around, YES, if you love Turkey and Turkish hospitality (like me), YES again, if you have the time and money, and like to do ski site touring and experience different topographies and conditions, its YES again â BUT, if you consider Mt Erciyes as your secondary 'cheap' ski vacation of this year, you got the wrong place. I say all this since I have come across (both in my country and in other European countries) major travel agencies that offer ski packages that include international & domestic flights, Hotel, shuttle and ski pass.
There are frequent snow drops on the mountain, but strong winds, exposed slopes and the nature of the black volcanic soil/rock, cause the snow to 'skip' large pieces of piste surface, leaving them bold and quite dangerous for fast skiers who criss-cross between runs, or for any skier in foggy conditions. The fast winds also cause parts of pists to freeze, while adjusting parts remain covered with deep powder â this frequent change of snow, is rather exhausting, but it might be a problem that existed only when we were there. The best slopes we saw were around the 'lone' teleski, where there were few skiers and no 'non skiers' who wonder around. The problem is that you would have to walk in deep snow between the sites center and that teleski (about 10 minutes). The site center includes a clan of gear rental establishments, who charge a rather high price (around 12-15 EU per day), coffee shops, and lots of locals who come to play in the snow or even to picnic with their grills (!). The general atmosphere is relaxed and it seems the local skiers are not too worried about the frequent cases in which lifts are closed 'just like that'. We paid for a ski pass, only find the cashier closing the lifts gate 5 minutes later. When I asked him about the future of my unused ski pass, he turned the card and pointed at the text (in Turkish). I ended up donating 3 different ski passes to the hotel crewâ¦
While the potential of this volcano in quite high, only part of it is used as for this moment. There are many more Virgin slopes around waiting for a new Teleski, and indeed there are some hotels that seem to be under construction (and if you know Turkish ski sites, you know each hotel would build its own Teleski). However, while saying 'they should build more of this and that' as if money is all over, is foolish, it is really frustrating to see that ever the existing potential of the site is not used. We have skied in the mountain for several days, and even though there were all kinds of weather, winds and temperature, the local operators decided not to operate the upper teleskies and lifts at all, giving us (and the few tourists that asked them occasionally) various excuses such as 'alarm', 'strong wind', 'ice' or 'not enough snow'. Closing those lifts had reduced the number of runs into a ridicules minimum of 2.5 (mostly easy) runs. Since we have spoken to local skiers (from Ankara) who knows things, and also climbed there alone, we were quite sure that only good reason not to operate those upper lifts, was lack of demand! In several cases even the lower lifts went on strike for no good reason but lack of demand. Miraculously they started working again when a group of locals wanted to go up with the chair â the teleski didnât work at all (at that time) since there were few skiers, all of them were locals, who seem to be used to this poor standard of site operating. In general it might be said, that all the various piste maps of this site, are by far too 'flattering' the site for verity of runs.
In general, we really enjoid this vacation, but mostly since we really love Turkey. I wish I had such a site within a driving distance from my home, however for the price I paid; you may find better destinations for a fun ski vacation in East Europe, or in Turkey. Mt Erciyes is not enough to fill a whole full time vacation. If you combine it with a visit in wonderful Cappadocia, or with the Luxurious Hilton Kaisari, it would be much more fun.

Skip to comments.Kerry warns of cut and run in Iraq (2003 Flashback)
Posted on 06/23/2006 11:38:03 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative
In a major national security address Wednesday Democratic presidential contender John Kerry was sounding an alarm about premature U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. I fear that in the run-up to the 2004 election the administration is considering what is tantamount to a cut-and-run strategy, Kerry said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Council on Foreign Relations.
The Massachusetts senator accused Bush and his aides of a sudden embrace of accelerated Iraqification and American troop withdrawal without adequate stability, which he called an invitation to failure.
He contended that it would be a disaster and a disgraceful betrayal of principle to accelerate the transfer of authority to Iraqis so as to allow a politically expedient withdrawal of American troops.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
This man is such a joke.
He was against "Cut-and Run" before he was for it?............
And to think that this man was the democrats choice!
Man I hope they run him again!
"....This man is such a joke..."
Yes, Kerry is a joke, but the real clowns are his followers...
Are they blind to his ways???
And to make matters worse...he's not even funny. Pathetic is more my term for him.
The liberals are also real clowns, too.
But the bigger fools are the people who buy into their insanity.
At least his alcoholic wife has some charm.
So much for cut-and-run Murtha.
See them flip, see them flop!
Beyond the obvious Kerry flip-flop, it also shows the DEMs using the phrase "cut and run" for political gain. Nowadays they whine that it's an unfair use of words.
It is very embarrassing to live in MA. What is amazing is that he is on record for so many of his flip flops and no one in the (lame)MSM calls him on it.
This alleged "senator" / American citizen is such a joke that he's giving flip-flops a bad name.
Sorry about that...
It's absolutely brilliant for you to find and post this.
I was confused at first, till I noticed the Dec 3 date, till I went to MSNBC to figure out they were not the ones to remind us of Kerry's previous position.
Did you have this column bookmarked?
Thanks for the read, and the flip-flopping reminder that John Kerry will say anything in order to criticize President Bush. Contradicting himself, double back flip-flopping doesn't even seem to embarrass him.
Typical lawyer. Tries to make mush out of the brains of the opponent by double-think offense and twisting of the truth.
Un-frickin'-believable. This idiot still thinks he can just say what he wants for expepediency's sake, and no one will ever check him out. What malignant hubris.
I'll repeat what others here have said: We truly dodged one huge, lethal bullet in '04!
Great job in the archives, WCC!
love your # 11 too.
Let me get this straight here.
Back when G. H. W. Bush was President, Kerry was against the war and voted against the use of force, then claimed we had failed because we followed the U.N to the letter and left Saddaam in power.
When Clinton attacked Iraq to purposely distract MonicaGate and impeachment, Kerry said Saddaam was a brutal dictator, and was supportive of Clinton's use of force without U.N approval that failed to remove Saddaam.
Before he was running for President, he voted for the use of force, but was against sending in troops with U.N. approval.
While he was running, he was for the war on terror with U.N. approval, but against the war in Iraq, but against the timetable of bringing them home, but didn't regret his vote authorizing force. (nuance?)
Yesterday, he regreted his vote, was for the war in Iraq, but wanted to bring our troops home on a timetable.
Has he "re-stated" his position today after his bill went down in flames? That was DEFINITELY a Flop, so the next one must be the Flip.
Premature withdrawl was something John Kerry's father should have done.
Great one!
Now THAT'S the kind of abortion I would have been in favor of!
This is a man who changes him mind more often than he changes those pretty pink ties he's always wearing.
"While he was running, he was for the war on terror with U.N. approval, but against the war in Iraq, but against the timetable of bringing them home, but didn't regret his vote authorizing force. (nuance?)"
One thing I would also add is that in the very beginning of his campaign in 04 he was for the war and supported it...It was really when he realized Dean was stealing his thunder that he flipped over to the anti war crowd and ultimately got nominated based on what the Rats felt like was their only outside chance at winning...great post by the way, I just thought I would add that.
They can't, low-bladder-capacity ALGore wants his second try first before Kerry gets his second and then Jimmah Carter wants his third before McGovern and Fritz get second trys. Then finally its Hillary's turn unless Dukakis asks for a second as well.
Kerry And Hillary Preached Against Cutting And Running | Sweetness & Light
He wasn't believed when he said it for GOOD REASON!
You're right, I had forgot about that. It was Dean that got him to Flip, and then in the general election he Flopped!

According the following Reuters report... Kerry Says June 30 Iraq Handover Date a 'Mistake' ...John Kerry told reporters on Monday: "I have always said consistently that it is a mistake to set an arbitrary date and I hope that the date has nothing to do with the election here in the United States."
