With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment,
it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost
went unnoticed last week.
Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokie Pokey" died peacefully
at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.

Dennis Rodman Lashes Out At Criticism Of His Current Trip To North Korea (Video)
Things got quite heated during an interview today with CNN's Chris Cuomo and fomer NBS player Dennis Rodman. Rodman lashed out at criticism of his current trip with other former NBA players to North Korea.Rodman, no stranger to controversy, got very agitated with some of Cuomo's questions as he defended his trip to North Korea. Why didn't he simply answer the question instead of getting so worked up?

Where I stayed
After we checked in and headed to our dorm, we met one of our room mates, a Chinese man who spoke virtually zero English. Even with his inability to communicate, he was keen to talk to me and tell me what I should do with my time in Chongqing, using the guy I checked in with as a translator.
His advice for what I should in Chongqing sounded alright, but what was more concerning was how, as the broken conversation progressed, he became more touchy-feely. He would randomly place his hand on my leg whilst laughing, which I can deal with, but it was when, as I was standing, that he gently grabbed the back of my thigh, a little too close to my bum for my liking (maybe even touching). Too much, I stepped away at this point... it was a small dorm so only about half a step was managed, but enough for him to take it hand back haha.
In my time in China, I have seen some quite clearly straight touchy-feely guys and girls. It must be just another one of their odd cultural habits; like constant spitting and exposing their bellies in hotter weather, but this was too much for me. He probably has a lovely wife and kids and this is just the way he is??... or at least that's what I was hoping.
He was also asking about my onward travel plans, which I had not decided on yet, as he wanted me to go back to Chengdu with him (???)... just so he could arrange some free transport for me to go to Guilin, where I had already been about a 6 weeks ago. I was alright paying for a bed on a train as it goes and politely refused his offer.
I would like to say this guy was just a little too affectionate; however it was the next morning (05/12/10) that surprised me the most and caught me off guard (asleep lol)
Moving on, the weather in Chongqing was miserable at the moment; overcast, drizzly and slightly smoggy. I didn't want to head out in these conditions and, as I looked at the weather forecast, saw that in a couple of days it was to improve.
The first day I was invited by one of the girls at the hostel, Kira, to join an afternoon tea party with a couple of other hostel users; an older man from Taiwan and a Chinese looking Canadian guy. Kira was fun, the Canadian guy was ok but a little pessimistic/negative for my liking and the Taiwanese man was another strange one. He was obsessed with correcting my Mandarin, even though I explained to him that I had picked everything up that I knew on my travels, therefore also picking up different dialects too. I told him it was more important for me to be understood than to speak perfect Mandarin. He was a nice guy, but not very understanding that I had spent most of time in Southern China whereas Mandarin is based on the Northern Beijing dialect – the others understood. He would then start asking me questions about having Royalty and how it affects me and my home country, the British Common Wealth, the powers they have etc... I could only answer some of his questions haha.
I didn't get up to much the rest of that day or the following day (06/12/10) apart from meeting a couple of guys from England; Jon from Birmingham and another guy who I only met once, and watching movies and stuff
The next day, Tuesday (07/12/10), the BBC weather forecast was spot on and it is much brighter today than the last couple of days, the sun is even shining!
After meeting Jon the previous day, we arrange to join a couple of the girls that work at the hostel, Kira and Annie, on their short hike up one of the adjacent mountains. We think the girls, as they board there too, are encouraged to spend their free time out and about with the hostel users. Of course they know the city well and it can only be good for the hostel's reputation... we didn't suppose that intimate affairs were encouraged though, plus one of them looked like a teenage boy and seemed to have temperament issues too haha!!
The morning was all bit of a failure in the end but still entertaining nonetheless, with the cable car to cross the river being under repair, finding a boat to cross and getting lost finding the base/start of the mountain. We eventually got under way though, climbed the mountain and had an amazing lunch at one of the many Mah-jong playing places.
We hung around for a bit at the top of the mountain (or more like a big hill with small communities at the top) and make it back to the hostel later on the afternoon.
That night, I go exploring to see what the city's night life has to offer; the city centre, bars and clubs looked cool, but I was on my own at this point so didn't venture in anywhere and headed back to the hostel instead. I liked the vibe this city has and could definitely see myself coming back here to spend some more time, maybe in high season when there are more people around to enjoy it with though.
The next day (08/12/10), I am due to leave Chongqing in the afternoon so in the morning, again with Kira and Jon (Annie had to work), we head to Chaotianmen and Jiefangbei to see some more of the city.
The Chongqing Planning and Exhibition Gallery, which is supposed to be really good was only partly open for refurbishment, but in the section we could visit, there were interesting statue type things we assumed ourselves with and, in another section, some pretty awesome paintings from 'scenes' across China and Tibet – amazing attention to detail
From there we headed to the Three Gorges Museum in the city centre, which is kind of what Chongqing is famous for, the Three Gorges River and controversial dam, not the museum itself!! The museum was quite boring really and featured the river and dam only in one section, the rest was generic uninspiring stuff on Chinese history. Can't complain too much, both places were free and it was good just being around the city itself.
The 3 of us have a pretty tasty lunch at a Chinese version of a fast food restaurant, but we had to head back to the hostel soon after so I could catch my train to Guangzhou, which is the next big city from Shenzhen, near Hong Kong.

95 deville sporadic starting
Hey guys,
I have been a long time lurker around the forum whenever I have had a problem with my deville and you guys have always been a great help. I couldn't find a similar thread that closely matched my problem so I decided to make an account.
So for the past couple of weeks I've had on again off again problems starting my 4.9L Deville. Sometimes I'm able to start my car no problem when I go out in the morning, but sometimes I need to push on the gas pedal as I'm turning the key in the ignition to have it start. I will push on the pedal for 2-3 seconds after I turn the ignition and it will start up and ride fine. However, when I don't push the gas pedal it will crank and turn over for a second, but then shut right off. Everything in the car turns on like normal and then i will turn the key back and turn it forward again and sometimes i need to push on the gas pedal a little bit longer/harder then it will start up. Also, if I drive somewhere and I'm there for 30 minutes or less I can come right out and start my car with no problem 9 times out of 10. I don't think its my spark plugs since I just had a tune-up done last July. I have been reading that it might be the pressure of my fuel pump though on other threads, but the situation isn't exactly the same. As I said once it is started its rides like a beauty. I just don't want to keep doing this and end up damaging something else or multiple things.
When I run my codes I am getting history: P030, P039, P052, I022, T072, and T077 current: P055, A010.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Oh and one other thing I can add is that I have a remote start and before this started happening I was using my remote start to warm up my car in the morning because it was cold around in the area and it worked no problem. I don't think this will be a factor in my problem though.

Re: 95 deville sporadic starting
Check out some of the ISC adjustment threads in this section. It sounds like yours isn't working right or needs adjusting. Does it idle fine at stop lights? A vacuum leak could cause starting problems but it would probably run different when running. You can look up those code definitions in the sticky at the top of this section.
Re: 95 deville sporadic starting
Codes are great, but without their definitions they are meaningless. No one has them memorized. Help us help you and always post them with the codes.
Might check the fuel pressure and the FPR for a leak.
Is the ISC motor activating at key on?
Re: 95 deville sporadic starting
I022 Panel Dimming Switch Pot Circuit
P030 ISC RPM out of range
P039 Torque Converter Clutch/ Viscous Converter Clutch Engagement Problem
P052 PCM Memory Reset
T072 Serial Data Link Fault
T077 .. No information on this on the codes sheet
A010 Outside Temperature Sensor Circuit
P055 Closed Throttle Angle Out of Range
To answer your questions Al and Ranger:
Al, I will look through these threads as I do feel as if I am getting an extra "jump" when I take my foot off the brake when the light turns green. I wasn't sure if it was just me or not either, but when I take my foot of the peddle even at 25-30 MPH it coasts for a while before going down any MPH. I will look at similar threads about ISC problems. This has been a problem before and has been replaced twice in 4 years of having the car, so when this started happening I didn't initially think this would be the problem again.
Ranger I'm going to try and make my way over to auto zone today to try and loan a pressure sensor and see if my PSI is at 45 or not. How do I check the FPR for a leak? When I was looking under the hood and my friend put the key in the OFF position, the ISC didnt move at all but when he turned the key back to the LOCK position and pulled the key out the ISC would make about ten clicking noises then the 'bolt' popped a little bit which happened three times then turned off.
Also, should I be worried about any of the codes that are on the history list? Or P055 that is current? I am not too worried about the thermostat because its been broken for a year or two and hasn't seemed to effect the car at all. And as far as I saw on other threads even if I replace the part, sometimes the temperature still doesn't read on the dash and there are other problems causing it not to read.
Re: 95 deville sporadic starting
P055 Closed Throttle Angle Out of Range
either the throttle body is dirty -
and the throttle plates are hanging up -
or the Throttle Position Sensor is out of adjustment -
or the Throttle Position Sensor needs to be replaced -
Re: 95 deville sporadic starting
To check the FPR just pull the vacuum hose off of it while at idle. It's the small canister on the fuel rail. If you see any sign of fuel at the nipple, it needs to be replaced.
While you're cleaning the TB, be sure that the 2 EGR tubes down in it are not carboned closed. If so, rod them out.

On Sunday his walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning was the game-winner in Auburn's 6-5 victory over Kentucky to improve his team's SEC record to 10-8 and give the Tigers a 2-1 series victory.
Morris finished the week 8-13 at the plate as he hit two home runs, two triples, two doubles and two singles. That computes to a 1.538 slugging percentage.
Hunter Morris is putting together his best collegiate season this year.
Morris was also walked three times and hit by pitches twice to finish the week with a .684 on-base percentage for Coach John Pawlowski's Tigers, who improved their overall record to 27-14 going into a home game on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. vs. Samford. The team will travel to Arkansas for a three-game SEC series Friday through Sunday.
The junior drove home nine runs and scored seven times for the Tigers while improving his batting average to .413 for the season. Morris has 13 home runs, 14 doubles and five triples. He leads the SEC in slugging percentage at .779 plus total bases with 134. He is second in hits with 71, RBI with 53 and homers. He is third in the SEC in doubles and triples and fourth in batting average.
Morris won the award earlier this season after the Tigers swept their opening SEC series at Georgia.

The New Currency, Part Deux: eCommerce
In my previous blog post, I said that APIs were the New Currency. Well, that triggered some interesting responses from the statusphere, like this one:
"Jordan Elpern-Waxman @mashery doesn't know what currency means. Currency needs liquidity and exchangeability. APIs are valuable but not currency "
Just to be sure, we at Mashery consulted the good ol' Merriam Webster, which defines currency as "something that is in circulation as a medium of exchange." I still contend that an API is exactly that—if you can broaden your view on what's being exchanged.
Take retail, where brand value was traditionally built on physical reach (brick and mortar). Today, with customers increasingly interacting with apps and devices, almost anything can be a storefront. And I'm not just talking about apps branded by retailers. Angry Birds is a potential storefront. So is almost any app and website. And the way retailers are reaching these new storefronts is through APIs.
What's exchanged through a retail, or an eCommerce API?
Call it service for access.
You might not think of Citibank as a potential storefront for Best Buy, but thanks to APIs, that's exactly what it is. Have you seen the TV ads for Citibank's loyalty program? All of the electronic items redeemable for Citibank reward points are sold and fulfilled by BestBuy, through its API. You can even find out if an item is in stock at your local Best Buy store, without leaving the Citibank context. Again, the exchange here is that Citibank gets a valuable service (electronics retailing & fulfillment) in return for turning its accountholders into potential BestBuy customers.
Of course, the opportunities for API-enabled exchange are only going to proliferate. As we've all heard, there will be 1 trillion connected devices, not in some future generation but as early as next year. At the most recent SXSW, we surveyed attendees to find out which they would rather give up, their cell phones or their wallets. You guessed it: the wallets, by 10 to 1.
The post-website era of eCommerce is turning out to be not only multi-location networks and industry-wide 'co-opetition' but also a full-on embrace of social media and mobile access. That's where our customers are. In what Bob Pearson calls 'pre commerce' in his book of the same name, he addresses the importance of influencing consumers every step of the retail experience. Applications are now an integral part of this lifecycle, helping to connect us to deals, recommendations and immediate gratification. And if you want a piece of the action, you'll need to pay for it with access to your goodies. You'll need, in other words, a method of exchange. You'll need an API.

sex The Top 30 Republican National Convention Casual Encounters f p @
49k views 30 items Follow Embed
This list brings together two of the most sexually outlandish forces in America: Florida and Republicans. The GOP really likes to get freaky and the gay community has a huge fetish for them. Huge. So everyone wins, really. While the whole country slept, Republicans had to wait an extra day in Florida for their National Convention to start, which gave them a lot of time to look for anonymous sex. Dudes (and just one pair of ladies) were looking for people of all shapes and sizes to have sex with. Here are the greatest, most ridiculous ones. People are awesome.
The Republican National Convention happened in Tampa Bay, Floriday in August of 2012, so these are all the Craigslist Casual Encounters posts from the time frame of the convention in the general area of Tampa.

Christians Are The Best
Hunting Buddies
This guy is weird for these reasons:
1) He's looking to blow/do his hunting buddy.
2) He has a passion for turkey hunting. Not just any kind of hunting, but turkey hunting. Either he was chased by a turkey and traumatized and now he's like Blade only for turkeys (only he's not half Turkey, even though his neck is pretty jowl-y).
3) If you read the whole thing you realize eventually that he only wants sex to make the Turkey hunting better.
Thanksgiving must be the best day of this guy's year. Every. Single. Year.
OBVIOUSLY This is What Speed Boats Are For
... ladies ;-)
This Is BRILLIANT
I wonder how many people in the crowd of the RNC were sexting...
Either way, this is a GREAT plan.
Not only do you not have to meet a stranger, so it's really hands-off (pun intended), but you are going to have that girl's phone number. This increases your chances of getting laid because if you're building it up the entire time, you do the equivalent of what both parties are doing with their email blasts: they're doing the low-sell in order to get you in the door, in hopes that once you're there you'll spend more.
This is the please donate $3 of sex. Brilliant.
Racist Couple Looking for Dude to Bang
This guy broke the first rule of gay anonymous 3-way one night stands: you always keep everyone's contact info. This poor guy had the time of his life that night and the he did the worst thing you can possibly do after waking up in the smell of two dudes whose names you don't know well enough to look up on Facebook.
Also this is a bear's dream. This dude got two twinks all to himself that night and they disappeared in the night never to be seen again. We should probably all keep our eye on Tampa's "missed connections" posts and help these three people yet again find lust.
The Saga of the First Time Massager
I don't care how many of these you read, I hope this guy finds what he's looking for eventually. And so do you. And if you don't you're a monster.
This is so sad... it never happened to him. This is heartbreaking. It's like the beginning of UP only about anonymous gay hand sex :(

The document says Mr Blair "referred to the negative things decided by the United States over Baghdad". It adds that Mr Blair refused to engage in any military action in Iraq at that time because British forces were still in Afghanistan.
The report says that Mr Berlusconi said Baghdad must be forced to comply with United Nations resolutions.
The revelation that Moscow passed on such potentially sensitive information to Baghdad is likely to have a devastating effect on relations between Britain and Russia. Mr Blair declared a "new era" in relations with President Putin when they met in Moscow in October 2001 in the aftermath of September 11.
Mr Blair was dismayed when Mr Putin joined France in threatening to veto the American and British resolution on Iraq in the UN, but continued to differentiate between President Putin and President Jacques Chirac.
The list of assassins is referred to in a paper dated November 27, 2000. In it, an agent signing himself SAB says the Russians have passed him a detailed list of killers.
Another document, dated March 12, 2002, appears to confirm that Saddam Hussein had developed, or was developing, nuclear weapons. The Russians warn Baghdad that if it refused to comply with the UN it would give the United States "a cause to destroy any nuclear weapons".
In the end, Mr Putin opposed military action against Iraq.
The Iraqis are believed to owe Moscow more than $A20.7 billion for arms shipments.
Russian oil companies have also been trying to forge links with Baghdad to develop Iraq's vast oil reserves.

Samsung Galaxy Star Pro, Galaxy Trend launched at Rs 6,750, Rs 8,290
Samsung has about 14 devices, of which 4 are from Galaxy series, under Rs 10,000.
New Delhi: Intensifying competition in the mid-segment smartphone market, Samsung India launched two devices under its Galaxy series, Galaxy Star Pro and Galaxy Trend, which are priced at Rs 6,750 and Rs 8,290, respectively.
The Samsung Galaxy Star Pro is a dual SIM handset powered by a 1GHz single-core processor. It has 512MB RAM along with 4GB internal storage which can be supplemented with a 32GB microSD card. The Galaxy Star Pro has a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen and a 2 megapixel camera.
The Samsung Galaxy Trend features a 4.0-inch WVGA display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution. Powered by a 1GHz Single Core processor coupled with 512MB RAM, the Galaxy Trend offers 4GB internal memory that is expandable via microSD card to 32 GB. It is equipped with a 3 megapixel rear camera. Both Samsung Galaxy Trend and Galaxy Star Pro run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
The devices come pre-loaded with nine Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil.
"Not only can consumers browse the web, send SMS, and enjoy the phone interface in any of the 9 languages, but also use exciting applications in any of these languages," the company said in a statement.
The Korean company, which has a 26 per cent share in the country's smartphone market is offering options in local languages in a bid to attract non-English speaking customers.
"Galaxy Trend and Galaxy Star Pro will provide our consumers an exceptionally rich mobile experience in regional languages with the ability to access an array of apps in their preferred language," Samsung Mobiles and IT Country Head Vineet Taneja said.
He added the company will be able to address a larger set of consumers with these devices. Both the handsets are equipped with Android's 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
The company has about 14 devices, of which 4 are from Galaxy series, under Rs 10,000.

Does Begging Raise Her Interest Level?
slow downSo what should you do now? First, save yourself some trouble and find someone closer to home. If you absolutely must give this girl a shot, ask her to do 50% of the traveling (this will reveal her Interest Level really fast!). Also, cut out the gift giving and let her be the one to raise the issue of settling down again. In the meantime, don't stop dating other people. She hasn't stopped!
In your next relationship, look for a woman who likes you - first. Allow her to express her love for you by giving to you first. Then, reciprocate in response. Like most guys, you rush the romantic process. Men have to learn to slow down. If you learn to do this, Johnny, women will start coming to you . Besides looking at the woman's attitude, you've got to look at her track record in the race of love. Like a bookie who knows the history of a thoroughbred at Del Mar and says, She only wins on a dry track , you need to look at Miss Right's track record and find out whether you are her type of guy or not. Otherwise, she will look at you like Man O' War facing a muddy track: no Interest Level. From now on Johnny, forget your Interest Level , pick your women carefully and learn to back off and be a challenge. Remember, the number one fact of life is, "She has to like you first", so save your love for those who appreciate you.

Bed Bath And Beyond Mothers Day
85 months ago Bed Bath and Beyond »
The Essence of Chocolate, written by America's premiere chocolate makers Robert Steinberg and John Scharffenberger, features more than 100 spectacular--and often simple--recipes drawn from the Scharffen Berger files and two dozen top pastry chefs. It is divided into three sections: "Intensely Chocolate," which includes such decadent treats as That Chocolate Cake, in which the sumptuous flavor of chocolate is the star; "Essentially Chocolate," with lighter chocolate desserts such as Black and White Creme Brulee, and Brown Butter Blondies; and "A Hint of Chocolate," with recipes such as Three-Bean Chili and John's Cocoa Rub, which use chocolate's spicier qualities to their best effect. In addition, Robert and John describe how they started their business, the trial and error process of making their own chocolate from cacao, and a fascinating chapter on the farmers who grow cacao in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.

The recent court case of a local teen charged with felony assault for punching a fellow student alleged to have taunted him with racial epithets serves as an important reminder that fighting racism in any and all forms must be an ongoing community effort.
Randall Nelson, a 15-year-old freshman at Steamboat Springs High School, was acquitted last week of felony assault charges and a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. The case stemmed from a February 2007 incident at Steamboat Springs Middle School, where Randall punched a fellow student who had taunted him for more than a month. The punch or the resulting fall broke the other boy's jaw.
While it's important not to overstate the problem, it similarly cannot be ignored. And there is recent history to suggest that racism does exist in Steamboat Springs, including its public schools.
Randall, who is black, had been subject to racial taunts before. As a fifth-grader at Strawberry Park Elementary School, Randall was harassed by two older students on a school bus. An 11-year-old at the time, Randall was told to move his "black ass," and the students pretended to whip him like a slave.
Also in fall 2003, a dozen or so incidents of race-related graffiti were found on bathroom walls at the high school. At least one of the incidents was directed toward a specific student. That student and his mother later appeared before the City Council to express their frustration at how the incidents were handled by the schools and law enforcement. School officials think the student responsible for the graffiti was identified and punished.
In October 2004, Battle Mountain High School football coaches and players accused their Steamboat Springs counterparts of making racially charged comments during and after a game at Gardner Field. Administrators and students from each school arranged a meeting to talk about the alleged incident and other issues facing teens.
In August 2005, a 22-year-old Steamboat man was arrested on suspicion of spray painting racial slurs and a swastika on a parked car. Police said the man became enraged after he was kicked out of a party after allegedly yelling racial slurs at a black man. He threatened partygoers with a pocketknife before eventually leaving. The man later plead guilty to several of the charges.
Also in August 2005, racial slurs were written on a car parked at Colorado Mountain College.
This summer, a black man was stabbed at a downtown Steamboat Springs bar, allegedly after getting into a confrontation with a man who told him to stop talking to two white women. The suspect, Christopher Allen Hamm, appeared in court this week but has yet to enter a plea.
We weren't so naÃive as to believe racism didn't exist in our pocket of Northwest Colorado. Steamboat Springs and Routt County are nearly 90 percent white. Teaching acceptance and embracing diversity can be an even bigger challenge in places where it exists in limited quantities.
The Steamboat Springs School District has a no-brainer policy stipulating that harassment of any kind is prohibited and punishable. But it takes more than written policies to identify and put an end to bigotry and racism. It takes active involvement from parents, teachers, coaches and neighbors. It takes people willing to object to an off-color joke told by a classmate, friend or co-worker. It takes teachers with the courage to intervene when they overhear derogatory remarks in hallways and classrooms. It takes parents who address the issue with their children and emphasize its importance.
We hope the hateful actions of a few among us are simply that - the ignorance of a small number of juveniles and adults who nonetheless are capable of casting a dark shadow on our entire community. But hoping isn't sufficient. We must, as a community, make the effort to stand up to prejudice and racism whenever and wherever we see it.

The Way We Live Now HTML version
Lord Nidderdale's Morality
It was very generally said in the city about this time that the Great South Central Pacific
and Mexican Railway was the very best thing out. It was known that Mr Melmotte had
gone into it with heart and hand. There were many who declared with gross injustice to
the Great Fisker that the railway was Melmotte's own child, that he had invented it,
advertised it, agitated it, and floated it; but it was not the less popular on that account. A
railway from Salt Lake City to Mexico no doubt had much of the flavour of a castle in
Spain. Our far-western American brethren are supposed to be imaginative. Mexico has
not a reputation among us for commercial security, or that stability which produces its
four, five, or six per cent, with the regularity of clockwork. But there was the Panama
railway, a small affair which had paid twenty-five per cent.; and there was the great line
across the continent to San Francisco, in which enormous fortunes had been made. It
came to be believed that men with their eyes open might do as well with the Great South
Central as had ever been done before with other speculations, and this belief was no
doubt founded on Mr Melmotte's partiality for the enterprise. Mr Fisker had'struck 'ile'
when he induced his partner, Montague, to give him a note to the great man.
Paul Montague himself, who cannot be said to have been a man having his eyes open, in
the city sense of the word, could not learn how the thing was progressing. At the regular
meetings of the Board, which never sat for above half an hour, two or three papers were
read by Miles Grendall. Melmotte himself would speak a few slow words, intended to be
cheery, and always indicative of triumph, and then everybody would agree to everything,
somebody would sign something, and the 'Board' for that day would be over. To Paul
Montague this was very unsatisfactory. More than once or twice he endeavoured to stay
the proceedings, not as disapproving, but simply as desirous of being made to
understand;' but the silent scorn of his chairman put him out of countenance, and the
opposition of his colleagues was a barrier which he was not strong enough to overcome.
Lord Alfred Grendall would declare that he 'did not think all that was at all necessary.'
Lord Nidderdale, with whom Montague had now become intimate at the Beargarden,
would nudge him in the ribs and bid him hold his tongue. Mr Cohenlupe would make a
little speech in fluent but broken English, assuring the Committee that everything was
being done after the approved city fashion. Sir Felix, after the first two meetings, was
never there. And thus Paul Montague, with a sorely burdened conscience, was carried
along as one of the Directors of the Great South Central Pacific and Mexican Railway
I do not know whether the burden was made lighter to him or heavier, by the fact that the
immediate pecuniary result was certainly very comfortable. The Company had not yet
been in existence quite six weeks or at any rate Melmotte had not been connected with it
above that time and it had already been suggested to him twice that he should sell fifty
shares at L112 10s. He did not even yet know how many shares he possessed, but on both
occasions he consented to the proposal, and on the following day received a cheque for
L625 that sum representing the profit over and above the original nominal price of L100
a share. The suggestion was made to him by Miles Grendall, and when he asked some

The Patriot announced multiple roster moves Tuesday afternoon. 15-year veteran wide receiver Troy Brown was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Brown, 36, leads the Patriots in career receptions with 557.
Brown is the seventh receiver on the active roster. The others include: Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Kelley Washington, Jabar Gaffney and Chad Jackson. Moss, Stallworth, Welker and Washington are all newcomers to the patriots this season.
To make room for Troy Brown, the Patriots released rookie defensive lineman Kareem Brown. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Miami product was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Brown was inactive in each of the Patriots 11 regular season games.
In addition, The Patriots placed veteran linebacker Rosevelt Colvin on the Reserve / Injured list, bringing his season to a close. Colvin was hurt in the third quarter of the Patriots 31-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. With his sack of quarterback A.J. Feeley Sunday, Colvin improved his season total to 4, second only to Mike Vrabel's 9.5.
To fill the void left by Colvin at outside linebacker, the Patriots signed veteran free agent Chad Brown. Brown was with the Patriots through the first part of the season, released October 10, 2007 to make room for tight end Marcellus Rivers.

|Saturday April 6, 2002
She came out of the sea, singing Underneath the Mango Tree and wearing a bikini. Forty years on, those scraps of cloth from Dr No are worth Ł78,875 ($A212,454) apiece - or Ł157,750, which is what Ursula Andress' swimwear fetched last year at Christie's.
When it comes to James Bond memorabilia, the big money is in film-set props. A 1965 Aston Martin DB5, driven by Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye (1995) was sold at the same auction last year for Ł157,750 to a British collector.
The ultimate boys' toy, an adapted Rolex wrist watch seen on James Bond in Live and Let Die (1973), sold for Ł25,850.
Lorne Spicer, a collecting expert, says these items come up for sale because in the early James Bond days, people working on set took their children
``The children could take the props from the film - and it's these that fetch the real money. For example, gold bullets picked up from the set of The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore, can fetch Ł1000 each.''
Unless you were lucky enough to work on, or knew someone who worked on, a Bond film set, it is unlikely you will find these items in your attic. But fans can find these treasures at auction houses.
It was in the '60s that film companies first realised there were gains to be made by linking films with accompanying memorabilia. Vehicles, dolls, models and games that date from this period are all sought after today.
Manufacturers bought licences to replicate many of the Bond cars and gadgets. Corgi made a replica silver and gold Aston Martin GB5 in 1960; find one today still in its box and it would be worth between Ł250 and Ł350, says Spicer.
A model from Moonraker (1979), such as a helicopter in its original box, will be worth Ł50 to Ł60 today. But be careful if you are buying models today thinking you can cash in on this craze.
``Licences are expensive these days, so manufacturers make a lot of models so they can make their money back. You'll have to wait a long time before any of them become collectable,'' says Spicer.
For the serious collector who can afford to be shaken, not stirred, posters from the original films are worth a small fortune.
A United Artists film poster of Goldfinger (1964), starring Sean Connery, sold at auction for Ł8225.
But they are not always completely out of reach. A Never Say Never Again poster, also starring Connery, was sold for Ł300 recently.
With Die Another Day - the next Bond instalment - to be released in November, production companies will be marketing it with original posters sent out to advertise a film, often withdrawn before the film is released.
For book lovers, Casino Royale, Ian Fleming's first, and most valuable book, is every serious collector's must-have. There were only 4750 copies published. Over the years many have disappeared, making it an extremely rare book, says Jonathan Gilbert, an Ian Fleming expert from Adrian Harrington Books in London.
``A really nice copy in a dust wrapper would be worth Ł10,000-15,000, depending on its condition,'' he says. A copy without a dust wrapper would be worth about Ł1000.
The next two books in the series, Live and Let Die and Moonraker, command extremely high prices, from Ł1000 up to as much as Ł4000. By 1956, Fleming had become well-known. Demand was high so print runs of his first edition books were large, making them less valuable today.
There is one exception. If you own a signed copy, limited edition of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, you would be sitting on about Ł3000. They were only handed out to friends and publishers, so they are very rare. There were 250, all with unique binding and gilt edging.

Fifty-two percent of likely voters say the nation is in "worse condition" now than in September 2008, while 54 percent say Obama does not deserve reelection based solely on his job performance.
Among voters earning $40,000 to $60,000 a year, 67 percent said they were not satisfied with the president's handling of the economy and 62 percent said the country is in worse condition now than in 2008.
Just 40% say Obama deserves another term
I love to see all of the liberal nuts defend this pathetic record.

Only 40%??? Ummm... 47% don't even pay taxes. I surprised he losing 7% of that number. He really is in trouble.

Erica... I think what you say is true. The well established "old family" lines have lots of research already. My Pomeroy line has already had severl editions of a genealogy book - beginning in the early 1900's and an update is in the works. It was through the Pomeroy information that my geni site became vulnerable to merges. I wasn't all that interested because quite a bit is known there already. My "brick wall" occurs when my grandfather's family came to the US in 1913 and left the family behind in Sicily. An earthquake destroyed the town in 1968 making records difficult to recover. However, I did find a nice gentleman on Facebook who went to the town registry and pulled some records for me. :)
One thing I like here on Geni is this kind of discussion of methods. I was trained as a historian and linguist and later as a computer scientist and analyst. I have figured out methods that work for me, mostly on my own, and like to hear how others are doing their research. Sometimes it validates my methods, sometimes I learn something new.
Ancestry has been great for discovering official records, as has www.jewishgen.org. The latter also has some great pages (shtetllinks) on various towns or regions, with material translated from Russian/Polish. I would have never found out about my husband's family who immigrated to Argentina from the Southern Ukraine in 1900. Intelius has helped me locate living relatives. Facebook I have also used to contact relatives. Ditto Ancestry. I have a whole new group of friends who are 2nd through 6th cousins, either through my paternal grandfather or paternal grandmother's family.
Geni saved me an enormous amount of research and even when it's wrong or jumbled, it's far enough along on my more distant branches that with collaborative research or Internet sources, I can untangle many of the issues.
Pam... my grandfathers surname was Bavetta. I haven't found a Bavetta family yet that doesn't trace their ancestors back to to small neighboring towns in Sicily - My research is about finding our common ancestor. So, I'm taking Italian lessons and doing the hard work. Check out http://www.bavettas.com I haven't updated much in awhile but work goes on behind the scenes. As for Facebook, I started "The Bavetta Genealogy Project" , joined the already established group for the small town in Sicily - Santa Margherita di Belice and have made quite a few friends who have been really helpful. So far, Geni doesn't help in this line of research.
Beth, what a wonderful web site--did you build and develop it (I assume)? Yes, I think there are many routes we can take to find our connections. That's an exciting project.
In my own similar project, I've had my Arledge Family History Project site (http://arledgefamilyhistory.org) up since 1997--it's very Web 1.0 and could definitely use an overhaul and update, but it has been a great site to attract Arledges and Arledge descendants to me. They have sent me their branches over the years and I did what Geni is doing and integrated them all into one large Arledge tree, which has really opened up so much knowledge about the family and its migrations.
About 10 years ago I uploaded the tree I had at the time to the Rootweb WorldConnect project so people could actually search it and access it, but then when Ancestry bought Rootsweb and acquired ownership of Rootsweb's trees I felt uncomfortable with the concept and took my tree down.
And then two years ago I discovered Geni and uploaded my tree to Geni so that it could become interactive. I invite all the Arledges who contact me to occupy their place on the tree, and then they can add information about their branches. I've been very pleased, since it has taken that database which was becoming a burden for me to share (since I was the only one who had access to it) and made it available to all family members.
So I think it's important to use as many types of resources as you can, since each can offer you something different and from a different angle.

Greetings everyone,
New to this community forum, but I'm certainly not new in the auto world/car scene.
Looking forward to be a part of the WRX community. In the mean time, I am searching for a 2005 Subaru WRX Wagon in World Rally Blue, preferably bone stock. If you know anyone that is selling one with below 45k miles, feel free to have them pass me a PM.
I was look into purchasing a SUV since most of the cars that I currently own are sports/exotic cars. I narrowed down to what specific features I must have in a SUV, which was forced induction, manual transmission gearbox, and a light curb weight to save some gas. And then it made sense to me to consider a wagon which is more affordable since it has smaller tires, cheaper insurance (car vs. SUV), and its much easier to load up big cargo since its sitting lower than a SUV.
I've decided that a Subaru WRX Wagon might satisfy the cargo use that I need for a SUV without sacrificing too much from the sport driven feel that I desire.
I hope the positive experience I have had with other forums will be the same, if not better from this community!

Wales Women 7s on World Cup trail
18 May 2012 18:59pm
By Graeme Gillespie
Elen Evans (with ball) and Philippa Tuttiett are both playing for Wales this weekend in Amsterdam.
The quest for World Cup glory begins this weekend in the unusual surroundings of Amsterdam for the Wales Women's Sevens side.
The Welsh side will face the daunting prospect of taking on South Africa, USA and England but with Wales Six Nations backs Charlie Murray, Rebecca de Filippo, Elen Evans, Philippa Tuttiett, Laura Prosser and Rosie Fletcher featuring in the side, Wales don't lack for firepower.
Sian Williams and Rachel Taylor also figured in Wales' Six Nations campaign while Elinor Snowsill returns to international duty for the first time since returning from travelling the world.
Promising trio Jade Phillips, Cerys Ballett and Rachel Rees complete the Welsh side. Phillips is a Welsh Uni 7s representative and is in the long squad for the GB Student 7s side while both Ballett and Rees earned selection after eye-catching performances in the recently held UK School Games where the duo were in the victorious Dragons side which won the Bowl.
There will also be another warm-up tournament in Richmond next weekend at the Rugby Rocks tournament as Wales prepare for the FIRA European Sevens Championship, to be staged on June 9-10th in Bulgaria.
Competition is extremely tight for the World Cup and only the top two teams go through to then attend the actual World Cup qualifying tournament in Moscow (June 30th).
Simultaneously there is also another qualifying tournament in Belgium at the same time where another two teams will be hoping to advance their claims. All eventual qualifiers then travel to Moscow for the final tournament for qualification.

• Senior Adam Jones is about to join an exclusive club at Canisius.
• Jones has netted 97 career goals and is just three scores shy of becoming the sixth player in school history with 100 career tallies.
• The senior, who became the 15th player in school history to record his 100th career point last season, is currently tied for 10th in the program's record book with 128 points.
• The MAAC Preseason Player of the Year, Jones has recorded three points on a goal and two assists during his senior campaign.
• Junior goalkeeper Sean Callahan provides the Griffs with some rare experience in goal and Canisius is hoping it pays off in 2011.
• Callahan started 12-of-13 games in goal last season and is the first starting goaltender to return for the Griffs since the 2007 campaign.
• The experience is already paying off as Callahan matched his career high in saves last Saturday with 13 stops at Harvard in a narrow 9-7 defeat.
LoCOCO CLOSES IN ON SCHOOL'S ASSISTS RECORD
• Senior Nick LoCoco is quickly approaching the school's all-time assists record.
• LoCoco has accumulated 78 career helpers, tied for the third most in the school's history.
• The senior trails head coach Randy Mearns for first in the program's record book by 17. Mearns recorded 95 assists from 1990 to 1992.
• In two games as a senior, LoCoco has recorded two assists.
• In the Griffs' latest game at Harvard, senior Greg Michael showed the ability to put points on the board, which he flashed during his freshman campaign.
• Michael, who placed third among rookies in scoring during the 2008 season (behind All-MAAC selections Adam Jones and Nick LoCoco), led Canisius with three points and two goals against the Crimson.
• His three points and two goals were his highest totals since recording four points and three goals against Wagner in 2008.
• Michael is currently tied for the team lead in points and leads all Griffs in goals.
• The Griffs and Bearcats are meeting for the first time in men's lacrosse.
• Canisius is 0-9 all-time against current members of the America East conference.
• Binghamton has lost its first three games of the 2011 season, falling to Penn State (9-7), Lafayette (12-6) and No. 6 Cornell (13-4).
• Matt Springer has led the Bearcats early in the season, recording a team-best eight points and seven goals.
• Tyler Perrelle ranks second on the team with five points, scoring two goals and posting a team-best three assists.
• Jordan Marra has seen a majority of time in goal this season, posting a .404 save percentage and a 13.03 goals against average.
• The Bearcats have struggled at the faceoff X this season, winning only 30.5 percent of its restarts.

Let me be clear. If there is a way to reduce the cost of education by 30 percent while keeping the quality the same, I'm all for it. Who wouldn't be? Why would we pay 30 percent more than we have to for the same result?
course, everybody - even the minister - knows that you can't cut
education by 30 percent and maintain the same quality. And the minister
is quick to argue that some, maybe even all, of the funding will be
restored. So why go though this exercise?
Here's the logic.
The presumption is that the current funding structure is inefficient and
needs to be changed. We can hear Carr say this explicitly. "The department is trying to improve its budget process, which the minister described as 'archaic.'"
the method - and I've seen this elsewhere - is to cut back budgets
dramatically, keeping a pool of money in reserve, and then have people
(or departments, or schools) compete for the remaining money. It may be
the full 30 percent. It may only be 25 percent. We don't know.
mechanism delivers a psychological blow as well as an financial one.
Staff in different schools or departments at once must write a budget
they know they cannot sustain, and then fight against each other while
trying to appease the minister to bring their finds back to level.
they're lucky, there will be some guidelines for this competition. But
probably, there won't be. Because the exercise isn't about saving money.
It's about asserting power. It's about reallocating finds in a manner that would be politically unacceptable. It's about not having to have a plan, about having people who would normally be your opponents craft your policy for you.
that's the worst of it. Carr is adopting this mechanism because, even
if the current system of funding education is archaic, he has no idea what to do about it. At least, no idea that would be politically acceptable. He can't just cut salaries 30 percent. People have contracts. But if the schools cut staff, and then contract out to private suppliers, he can argue "it was their choice!"
If someone has a plan, he doesn't announce six weeks into the school year that the current year's funding cannot be guaranteed. That's not management. That's panic.
It may well be that New Brunswick is spending too much on education, but the way to address that isn't to create a winner-take-30-percent donnybrook.
The minister may actually believe competition produces the best results,
but even he must know that it doesn't when the game is rigged and when
people who should be working together are scheming behind each others'
The education system should be based on trust, not chicanery.
There are ways to improve efficiencies in education, but they are precisely the opposite of what the current minister is doing.
can be found by decentralizing management, so people can exercise local
knowledge to serve needs and priorities, ranther than centralizing
control in the ministry. Imagine what could be done with the $110 million that is currently spent on centralized facilities planning and administration (Provincial Budget, p. 53)
funding should be collected and distributed provincially (that's how we
maintain equity across regions) the funding should be managed locally,
by elected school boards (it would probably surprise the minister to
learn that this is how it's done in high-achieving provinces like
Ontario and Alberta).
Efficiencies can be found by providing centralized services that may (or may not) be adopted by these school boards. For example, Alberta's Supernet provides high-speed access to students throughout the province (and also to municipalities, libraries and hospitals). B.C. Campus provides educational technology and learning resources to students in that province.
the good Carr could do by setting up a system to provide free online
textbooks to all schools in the province, permanently removing the
amounts these schools must spend on learning resources in the future.
in early childhood education is essential and the province is saving
millions when it extends learning opportunities to four-year-olds. But
imagine how much more it could be doing to make these opportunities and
resources available for free into New Brunswickers homes, at any age.
education funding panders to the interests that would like to see low
taxes and a dull, compliant workforce unable to do much more than farm,
cut trees and maybe build ships (we know who they are). But the people
of this province deserve better. They deserve an education department
that is willing to take the time to think about what it wants to achieve and how best to get there.

Coalfield Jews: An Appalachian History
€ 27,49
Bisher € 27,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
September 2006
BeschreibungCoalfield Jews explores the intersection of two simultaneous historic events: central Appalachia's transformative coal boom (1880s-1920), and the mass migration of eastern European Jews to America. Traveling to southern West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and southwestern Virginia to investigate the coal boom's opportunities, some Jewish immigrants found success as retailers and established numerous small but flourishing Jewish communities. Deborah R. Weiner's Coalfield Jews provides the first extended study of Jews in Appalachia, exploring where they settled, how they made their place within a surprisingly receptive dominant culture, how they competed with coal company stores, interacted with their non-Jewish neighbors, and maintained a strong Jewish identity deep in the heart of the Appalachian mountains. To tell this story, Weiner draws on a wide range of primary sources in social, cultural, religious, labor, economic, and regional history. She also includes moving personal statements, from oral histories as well as archival sources, to create a holistic portrayal of Jewish life that will challenge commonly held views of Appalachia as well as the American Jewish experience.
Pressestimmen"Deborah R. Weiner chronicles the lives and communities of Jewish residents of small town Appalachia in this well researched book. . . . The book's careful reconstruction of the lives of those small town Jews no doubt appeals to descendents of the coalfield communities."--"Journal of American History "

** Sony CD Radio Cassette **
My son wanted a few years ago a CD player for his eighth birthday, my brother got him a Sony CD Radio Cassette CFD-S01. O Sony the company was founded in 1946 by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita and it was called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo. The first product was a rice cooker. Later they looked for a better sounding name and then opted for Sony.
Components of the device:
* CD player
* Radio
* Cassette player
To play a CD you need to press push open / close and the lid comes up and you can place the CD (label side up). Again press open / close the container and closes again. The buttons below the display you can pause, stop playback, go to the next track, previous track to a certain point audible search, find a specific point on the display. The display can be seen: the total number of tracks and playing time. By pressing the display button shows you: the number and playing time, number, and the remaining time, the number of remaining tracks and the remaining time of the CD.
The button mode you can choose several things: One track, all tracks repeat, Random play music, music programming (up 20) and repeat programmed tracks. To listen to the radio you need to press the button for radio and it turns on. Tune with + and - and you can set the frequency, this can be seen in the display.
Playinga tape you need to press the appropriate button (square with triangle) to open the cassette holder. Insert the cassette with the side you want to play. You can only type 1 (normal) tapes. Close the holder. You can then use the buttons above the container: start playback, pause playback, playback, fast forward or rewind, tape eject.
The device has two speakers. The sound quality is good compared to the price paid for the device. The high and low tones are pure sound and sound very good. You can enhance the bass by pressing the button mega bass. The sound is really clear and I'm quite impressed.
My son has this device over two years now. He was very careful in the beginning and soon he broke the antenna of the device, but in normal use, the antenna is strong enough. He doesn't use cassettes but the deck is easy to use. He barely even listens to the radio, but he uses the CD player very often and without any problems. It is a sturdy machine, anything except the antenna.. The sound that comes from the device sounds clear. The device looks beautiful in black, dark grey and silver. It is more compact and does not take much space. Overall a great gift, for I believe just over 50 pounds. My son uses the radio hardly but I use this for example as I'm cleaning his room. Even without the antenna it's still producing a good sound. In the instructions you can find all the information you need. Only downside is that you cannot play MP3 and especially the whole cassette player is very old fashion.
