The Rush Co. Genealogical Society is in the process of transcribing & posting photos for all cemeteries in Rush County. This will be a long process, so be patient.
I will be happy to transfer memorials to a direct relative.
There has been much discussion over the use of photos. By all means, use any photo I have posted, and you don't need my permission.

You have this man connected to Catherine Harmon with a son Sylvestor. How did you make this determination? I have looked and looked for Elijah and would like to know how you connected him to Catherine.

David Sutton, d. 1863 #26893556
Hello! I am curious about this memorial, which gives a death date of August 1863, but the gravestone seems to say "Feb. 1863". My ancestor, David Sutton (the photo on your memorial has also been attributed to him), died February 21 (or possibly 27) 1863, in Chickasaw County, IA (date according to probate records), but he had lived in Indiana over the years. It is just such an odd coincidence that the David Sutton buried in Heaton Cemetery would have the same death date as the one who died in IA - and who was not married to Letitia or the father of the children listed on his memorial. Probably just that, a weird coincidence, but I was wondering where the August death date came from?
All the best,

Thank You!
Thanks so much for the pictures and all the information of the individuals you have put on Find A Grave. Wonderful work. You've helped me out so much on so many memorials I'd been trying to fit in my tree. My tree would be much smaller if I hadn't connected with you.
Many thanks, Jayne

RE: McKee family
A Charles H. McKee was my great-grandfather. His wife was Katherine Simonson McKee. They were buried at the East Hill Cemetery in Rushville, Indiana. William Simonson McKee, (William S. McKee on his tombstone) was my grandfather,although he was not listed as one of their children on Find A Grave site.
My grandfather William S. McKee and his wife (Charity Hoy McKee) had 5 children. They were: William Lowell McKee,( who died in a house fire on their farm in Orange. He was 3, I believe). Donald Robert McKee, Katherine Gerlandine McKee, Lawrence Nelson McKee (my father) and Helen Roselyn McKee. Donald Robert McKee is buried in New Lisbon, Indiana. Katherine Gerlandine McKee Monroe is buried next to her dad in Rushville. She legally changed her name to Jeri, because she was an attorney, and back in the 50's female attorneys had a hard time getting clients if people knew they were female. My father (Lawrence) is buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Cambridge City, Indiana. Only Helen is alive today. She is 91 years old. She lives in Hagerstown, Indiana. She has Parkinsons, and was diagnosed a couple of years ago. My father, Larry McKee died from complications from Parkinsons and pneumonia in 2007. He was diagnosed a couple of months before he passed away. We were not aware Parkinson disease was in the family.
I have a interesting photo of my grandfather, my grandmother,Uncle Don, Aunt Girlie, and dad taken around 1920. I you want to have a copy, I can e-mail it to you. Let me know.
My e-mail address is: firstname.lastname@example.com
I hope this helps in your research.

Hi Linda, it was pointed out to me that Mary Power was not in the 1810 census, and that John Lewis married Mary Morten or Martin afterwards. There is a record of that marriage.

American Express Serve refuses to assist a disabled person St. Petersburg Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Do not ever use American Express Prepaid debit cards! First, let me say that I am a permanently disabled person who receives SSDI. I got suckered in to using their Serve card and moved the balance of my checking account to the card and everything seemed okay, until today.
I needed some cash, so I went out to use the card at the ATM like I had many other times. Despite the fact that there was no activity on my account other than my phone bill, they said my account was suspended for suspicious activity.
While on the phone and on crutches following a recent hip surgery, they refused to let me use my card until I faxed a copy of my social security card and photo ID, even though there was no suspicious activity on my account and the representative admitted that.
So, they left me in the pouring rain during a massive thunderstorm, on crutches, with no concern for my pleas for assistance, and still refuse to release my account even though I have since faxed the information they requested. Now, I have no access to my own money until I get paid via my checking account on Tuesday, injured myself getting home because I could not afford a cab, and have left me moneyless for three entire days. American Express Prepaid does not care about their customers at all!

Appeal cites alleged bias of trial judge
PITTSBURGH — Former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin contends a judge denied her a fair trial before a jury convicted her of campaign corruption because he was biased against her in his rulings and comments he made in the courtroom.
"Through his words and actions, the trial court regularly and repeatedly communicated to the jury his belief that the charges against Orie Melvin had substantial merit and that her defense was not worthy of credence," according to the brief submitted by her attorneys.
The claim that Allegheny County Judge Lester Nauhaus was biased and denied Melvin a fair trial is one of 15 arguments Melvin's attorneys make in seeking to overturn her appeal and conviction.
"Further, the demonstrated judicial bias against Orie Melvin created and continues to create an appearance of impropriety which undermines all of the rulings made in this case. For these reasons, a new trial before a different judge is required," the defense wrote.
Melvin, 57, was sentenced in May to probation that included three years' house arrest and other penalties after being convicted in February along with another sister and former aide, Janine Orie, 59, of directing Melvin's state-paid Superior Court staff to campaign for her. The jury found that Melvin's staff worked on her unsuccessful 2003 campaign for the state's highest court, and, again, on her victorious 2009 campaign.
Former Sen. Jane Orie, a third sister, was convicted last year and is still serving a 2½- to 10-year prison sentence imposed by a different judge for using her own state-paid staff on her own campaigns.
Although Jane Orie was acquitted of directing her Senate staff to work on Melvin's campaigns, Melvin and Janine Orie also were convicted of misusing the senator's staffers on Melvin's campaigns.
The district attorney's office has not filed a response to the defense's appeal brief filed late last week, and a spokesman, Mike Manko, declined to comment on it.
Among other arguments, Melvin's attorneys also claim the charges against her unconstitutionally criminalized court employees' conduct that's supposed to be regulated by the Supreme Court. They argue that Judge Nauhaus erred in not letting Melvin's attorneys introduce evidence that her staff produced a high volume of work — which the defense contends would have disproven her staff spent much of their state-paid time doing campaign work.
Finally, the appeal challenges the requirement that Melvin apologize to the state's other judges by sending them signed pictures of herself in handcuffs, which Nauhaus ordered taken in his chambers immediately after she was sentenced.
Melvin's attorneys claim the apology portion of her sentence was illegally imposed and requires her to unconstitutionally incriminate herself.
"As long as Orie Melvin continues to assert her innocence, she cannot be required to apologize," the defense wrote.
The Superior Court has indefinitely suspended the apology portion of the sentence, which was challenged in an earlier, separate appeal, signaling that Melvin may prevail on that issue.
In response, Nauhaus last month suspended Melvin's entire sentence until the appeal issues spelled out in the latest filing are decided. They include a $55,000 fine and a requirement that Melvin work in a soup kitchen.

The Birch Phenomenon Analyzed; A report by the California Attorney General's Office examines the methods and speculates on the motives of the controversial John Birch Society. Analysis of the Birch Phenomenon
By STANLEY MOSK and HOWARD H. JEWEL ();
August 20, 1961,
, Section Magazine, Page SM12, Column , words
THE cadre of the John Birch Society seems to be formed primarily of wealthy business men, retired military officers and little old ladies in tennis shoes. They are bound together by an obsessive fear of "communism," a word which they define to include any ideas differing from their own, even though these ideas may differ even more markedly from the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Khrushchev.

Tesler 90 watt LED grow lights are ideal for smaller-sized hydroponics, greenhouse gardening, and other indoor growing systems.More Details >
Promote healthy, strong plants and buds with this LED grow light from Tesler. The easy-to-install design is engineered to help your indoor garden grow best. It uses a scientifically calculated blend of red and blue light that is the perfect spectrum for growth. Though purple to the eye, the light emitted is similar to daylight, and just as nutritious for plants. Plus, unlike with the sun or traditional lights, you'll never have to worry about water waste or burning delicate leaves since LEDs produce very little heat. With an impressive average life span of 50,000 hours, this energy efficient design can run up to 6 years at 24 hours a day! It features a 120 degree beam angle for maximum light spread up to 15 feet wide, perfect for an indoor herb or vegetable garden, or a small backyard greenhouse.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I love LEDs this one works good for starts and clones
I like the lamps I bought for growing Basil and Rosemary I use the lamps to add to natural light from the windows. I keep them on 12 to 16 hours. I grew 30 Basil plants this summer outside and they are still growing now indoor; thanks to the lamps
The light is well made, and does the job. Unfortunately LED grow lights emit a pink light in order to capture the full spectrum. I was trying to use these in an atrium on display, but made the room look like a club. This is a great light for maintaining and growing your plant life, as long as the room itself is not on display.

3D is unquestionably the most compelling part of the Toshiba 65L9363DB's picture performance. Combining a UHD resolution with passive 3D technology enables the 65L9363DB to deliver the lovely flicker- and crosstalk-free traits associated with passive 3D without having to suffer the softness, loss of resolution, jagged edges, and visible horizontal line threshold evident on normal HD-resolution passive 3D TVs.
Add to these strengths arguably the cleanest, crispest, least juddersome motion handling we've ever seen in a 3D picture and you're watching 3D on a huge 65-inch screen - and you've got exactly the sort of immersive, natural 3D experience that might actually resurrect 3D's fortunes. If only more mainstream audiences were able to see it working so well, that is.
As an extra bonus, the screen works a bit harder with 3D to counter the slight dimming effect of the passive 3D glasses, giving 3D footage a more fulfilling sense of contrast than we experienced with 2D. We loved watching the likes of Prometheus and Iron Man 3 in 3D on the 65L9363, and would challenge even the most ardent of 3D haters not to be impressed by what Toshiba has achieved here.
Despite not adopting the sort of 'split speaker' technology (with separate subwoofers and mid-range drivers) we're starting to see from some rival TVs, the 65L9363DB is still a very competent audio performer.
It can deliver a loud, wide, aggressive but still coherent soundstage without suffering distortion; there's a high level of treble detail – including spatial information – in the mix that's delivered without harshness; and while bass has its limits, there's enough of it around to stop loud action scenes from sounding as thin and artificial as they often do on flat TVs.
If you're salivating at the prospect of gaming on such a large, UHD screen as the Toshiba 65L9363DB, you'll be pleased to hear that after activating the set's Game picture setting, we measure a median input lag figure of 34ms. This is low enough not to severely impede your gaming skills.
We did record a couple of rogue measurements of near 60ms, and input lag increases exponentially if you don't use the Game presets. But for the most part the Toshiba 65L9363DB impresses where input lag is concerned – especially given its need to upscale incoming sources to UHD levels..
Other little points worth mentioning are a frustratingly sluggish response time from the 65L9363DB's onscreen menus and the very occasional appearance of subtle vertical bands over the picture when bright content is scrolling across the screen.
There's certainly much to like about the 65L9363DB. It looks reasonably attractive, its UHD images are easily good enough to continue our love affair with the new higher-resolution format, and its audio is well above par too for a slim-design model.
The problem for the Toshiba 65L9363DB is the competition. Samsung and Sony both have models on sale now (the UE65F9000 and 65X9005A respectively) which slightly out-perform Toshiba's new kid on the block, while simultaneously – and surprisingly given Toshiba's usual focus on value – costing £500 less.
The Toshiba 65L9363DB is another fine UHD TV, giving us no reason to step back from our passion for the new high-resolution image format. However, it's impossible to ignore the fact that Toshiba's new UHD TV also makes a slightly less persuasive case for itself than its current UHD/4K rivals while also costing £500 more.
For those who can afford it, the rest of us will dream....
Or just wait until they all come down in price to under 1500, thanks. I should be able to save up for that.
This TV is PHENOMENAL! I have it in a 24'x18' room and the image is perfection at its finest. I honestly think it looks better than the Sony X9 they have on display at BestBuy. The 2D-3D conversion is pretty spectacular, especially while gaming. The non-glasses 3D is truly remarkable with 2 3840x1080 pictures(1 for each eye) as compared to the 1920x540 you were getting before from similar 3D offerings.
I'm buying this as a computer screen for gaming. I hope it can do 1080p at 120hz vertical refresh rate like the seiki 4k can. Plus I can buy the US version of this TV for $2700.

Most people might be happy with a free TV, but for one Hastings land owner it's just one of many items of "junk" that end up in a small stream on his property that is connected to roadside drains.
Edward Hamilton has lived in Te Aute Rd for seven years. He said yesterday his land was often flooded by rubbish dumped in drains near his property.
The roadside drains are managed by the Hastings District Council but Mr Hamilton said nothing had been done about the issue despite him contacting council staff numerous times. "All sorts of junk comes in here from the drains on the side of the road. I've tried to put wire up before to stop it but when it starts raining the sheer force of the water and the rubbish just goes straight through."
Rubbish was being dumped by people who could not be bothered taking it to the dump. "I end up having to gather it all up and get rid of it, and pay the dump fee."
Mr Hamilton said in the past big bagloads of rubbish had been dumped in the ditches that, at his request, the council had collected. Without catching people in the act the council was unable to do anything about it, he said.
Yesterday he said he would like to see more action by the council to keep the ditches maintained. "It's their job to keep this in order. It just riles me up."
The old TV was far from the worst item swept on to the property, said Mr Hamilton. "Sometimes it gets so bad the rubbish rises up on to the bankings, just water-logged junk that I have to deal with. If the council did their jobs and kept the drains clear I wouldn't have this problem."
Council water services manager Brett Chapman said he had not yet determined the circumstances of Mr Hamilton's complaint. "... but I do note that the property is in a known flooding area and is subject to overland flows from the Louisa Stream and excess flows from the roadside drain in Gilpin Rd. We will be contacting Mr Hamilton on Monday to find out what has happened and where exactly the problem has arisen."

Adam Oates made a point at the end of every exit meeting to tell players that while the season might be over, he's still available to them. Whether they want to talk about their individual goals, hockey in general or anything else. Count Alex Ovechkin among those who took the coach up on his offer.
They exchange texts daily, Oates said in a phone interview earlier this week, with topics ranging from who will win that night's Stanley Cup playoff game to joking about that picture of Ovechkin in a judges' stand that his fiancé, Maria Kirilenko, tweeted during the French Open. It's a sign of how strong a relationship Ovechkin and Oates built during the shortened season and the coach is excited about how he can continue to help the star winger excel.
"I think it's great. I think it shows that it was something that was missing in his life," Oates said. "He's got confidence in me now. He had, I guess you could say, a bounce-back year, he felt good about himself at the end of the year he played hard, he's got a chance to win MVP. He's back on top, feeling good, and that allows me to tell him, 'I think there are still some things that you can do better to keep growing as a player.' He is our leader, that's a fact. If he can continue to get better then it sure makes it easier to coach every other guy."
Ovechkin is a finalist for both the Hart Memorial Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award, the winners of which will be announced at Saturday night at 7 p.m. on NBC Sports Network prior to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.
It marks the fourth time he has been a finalist for the Hart, which is awarded to the player judged to be the most valuable to his team as voted by members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association, and the fifth time Ovechkin has been a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award, which is presented to the most outstanding player as voted by their peers.
Ovechkin, who is in Russia and will not be in attendance for the presentation, has won the Hart twice previously (2007-08, 2008-09) and the Lindsay Award three times (2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10).
This season brought out a different side of Ovechkin as he reestablished himself among the NHL's elite forwards. He recorded 56 points and a league-best 32 goals in the shortened 48-game regular season, including an unparalleled outburst of 23 goals in the final 23 games.
It wasn't the goals so much as he found different ways to score and improved his play in the other two zones in a new spot on the right wing. By no means was there consistently flawless execution, especially when it came to tracking back in his own zone, but it was clear that Oates conveyed to Ovechkin that what he did in the other zones would ultimately better his game.
Ovechkin showed progress in becoming a more effective all-around player in the regular season, but there's certainly room to grow. From continuing an evolution away from predictable play offensively – some of which surfaced and were easily thwarted by the Rangers as Ovechkin was held to only two points in the series – to helping the 27-year-old make the other elements and contributions in other zones more instinctual.
While Oates doesn't like to divulge the specific elements he works on with any individual player, he believes Ovechkin is ready to take another step forward.
"I think he's in a good place where he's got tons of hockey left, he's got tons of room to improve, much more to his game in him and I think he feels good," Oates said. "I think he feels happy about it and excited about it."

hey peeps, has any one had their dial needles coloured red if so, are their any how to guides floating around on how to do this
Although I am a dab hand with a halfords spray can ands would happily do it to the needles without blinking (though the hobbycraft type model spray gear would likely be better), it is all a bit of a moot point as nearly everyone I know who has done red needles in the past has done it with a red sharpie.
why reinvent the wheel, or needle in this case.

- This is a gedenkshrift to one of Scotland's most prominent jurists. This book analyses in depth the distinctively Scottish themes in the life and work of Sir Neil MacCormick, the world-renowned legal philosopher and prominent Scottish public intellectual, whose life combined to a remarkable degree both academic accomplishment and political engagement in Scotland and Europe. A number of leading authors from Edinburgh and beyond reflect on his legacy and reconsider many of the questions he posed. The contributions cover the influence of MacCormick's Scottish background on his writings, his fascination with the Scottish Enlightenment, the character of law in general and the particular character of Scots law and the Scottish legal system, the place of nationalism and the prospects of independence in a post-sovereign world, and the special role of the public intellectual in Scottish life, as exemplified by MacCormick himself. The collection also contains a first comprehensive bibliography of MacCormick's writings.

Argentina, South Korea Move to World Cup Round of 16 With Mexico, Uruguay
Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico and South Korea advanced to the round of 16 at the World Cup yesterday as host South Africa was eliminated.
Argentina beat Greece 2-0 and South Korea tied Nigeria 2-2 to progress from Group B. Uruguay defeated Mexico 1-0, sending both through from Group A, while South Africa beat 10-man France 2-1 in the final game for both teams.
"I think we're really showing what we're capable of," Argentina coach Diego Maradona told reporters. "We are doing our duty, we are defending the colors of Argentina, as we've done all our lives,"
The top two teams from each of the eight groups qualify for the second round.
Martin Demichelis and Martin Palermo scored in the final 13 minutes in Polokwane to give Argentina its third straight victory. Argentina will play Mexico in its next game on June 27.
"Argentina were clearly superior," Greece coach Otto Rehhagel told reporters. "They were the better team and this was a deserved win for Argentina."
Argentina finished with 9 points in Group B. South Korea had four, Greece three and Nigeria one.
Lee Jung Soo and Park Chu Young scored in Durban for South Korea, which meets Uruguay on June 26.
Nigeria took the lead in the 12th minute on a goal by Kalu Uche and Lee tied the game seven minutes before halftime. Park scored with a free kick early in the second half to give South Korea a 2-1 lead.
Nigeria's Ayegbeni Yakubu missed a wide-open goal from three yards out in the 67th minute, then scored two minutes later from the penalty spot.
Suarez Strikes
Luis Suarez scored with a header in the 43rd minute in Rustenburg as Uruguay beat Mexico to top Group A with seven points. South Africa tied Mexico with four points, but lost out on second place on an inferior goal difference.
"If you look at the history of Uruguay over the last few World Cups it means I'm really satisfied," coach Oscar Tabarez said at a news conference after Uruguay reached the round of 16 for the first time since 1990.
France, the 2006 runner-up to Italy, ended its tumultuous World Cup in last place with one point from the three group games.
"The first word that comes to mind is sadness," Raymond Domenech, who coached his final game for France yesterday, said at a news conference. "Sadness for all the supporters and sadness for the players."
South Africa's victory wasn't enough to prevent it becoming the first World Cup host ousted in the initial group stage. Mexico finished with a goal difference of plus-1, while South Africa was minus-2.
Red Card
"We always believed it was possible to qualify," South Africa midfielder Steven Pienaar told reporters. "People can't say that we didn't give it our best."
Bongani Khumalo and Katlego Mphela scored for South Africa. Yoann Gourcuff was red-carded in the 25th minute for France after elbowing MacBeth Sibaya as the two jumped for the ball.
Florent Malouda scored in the 70th minute for France, which was playing its first game since striker Nicolas Anelka was sent home for insulting Domenech at halftime of its 2-0 loss to Mexico on June 17.
The team refused to train three days ago in protest of the French Football Federation's decision to expel Anelka. Domenech, who said he supported the dismissal, benched captain Patrice Evra yesterday and gave the post to Alou Diarra.
The Netherlands in Group E and Brazil in Group G have already qualified for the next round with one group game remaining.
Slovenia faces England and the U.S. plays Algeria today in Group C. In Group D, Ghana meets Germany and Australia plays Serbia.
Teams are ranked in each group by points from group matches, followed by goal difference and goals scored in all group matches. Ultimately, world governing body FIFA can decide which team moves on by drawing lots.

However, Dr. Marc is professionally trained in other healthy sex habits which are essential for both men and women.
His career has been built around the field of technology for the last fourteen years. He has been working as an independent consultant for six years now.

Why He Strongly Recommends for Men to Visit Pereviews.org
Apart from teaching men about sexuality, he also recommends pereviews.org as the best site for men who would wish to improve on their sexuality. The reason why he has strongly recommended this website to men is because it contains all that men would wish to know about sexuality. This is a website that contains well researched contents about male sexuality. This website contains useful and interesting information to those men who are having issues with their sexuality.

Quoting sidneyb:I agree with you
If the tables were turned, would you be ok with it?
If and until you are married, it's your money not joint money. You have the right to do with it what you want.
Why do you have a man living with you and your children that you aren't committed to? IF you were truly committed it wouldn't be a "money" issue, it would be a spending time together issue. It sounds like you resent him for his financial situation and therefore your respect for him has suffered.
Quoting Anonymous:It's your money but I do think he should dump you.
I don't think there's a wrong or a right here...it's your decision, and the consequences will also be yours.

if you are not familiar with the trope "put on a bus" then check it out at http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PutOnABus]
Since I was talking about confusing statistics yesterday I thought I would bring up the bounce rate of the site over the last month. Normally for a website a bounce (when a viewer looks at one page and then leaves) is bad. If a returning viewer does it on a webcomic its not that bad. Sure it would be better if they hung around and up-ed the page views a bit more but it most likely means they checked the most recent update and left. I had a fairly tolerable bounce rate when I started the comic. It was between 20-30% with 60% of bounces being from returning visitors. Then suddenly it stooped. It wasn't gradual either. It had been declining a bit (1-2% a week) then it suddenly droped to 0. for a few weeks I assumed that something in the code was broken but then about 2 weeks ago I got one return reader who bounced. Looking at the last month then I have a 0.09% bounce rate. With the most common number of pages viewed per visit at 2 by far. I understand the numbers I am just not sure what is causing them. My best guess is that since I have done my best to make the author comments entertaining as well as the comic itself that people go from the main page with the blog to the most recent page to check out what witty thing I wrote in the comments. A bit egotistical of me I know but it's the best I have thought of so far, maybe one of you will have a better (or at least funnier) idea. If that is the case though don't worry I will be back tomorrow with more odd things to say about the comic or my life such that it is.

Does she know she's got a date yet, or will this bus trip get intetesting? Then again, an agreement can be poofed quite easily with a "here's a video of you saying you'd go" *pulls out of nowhere*.
I've been visiting 1 page on Monday and 1 on Friday for at least 3 weeks, so your numbers must be wrong.
Kai Faydale
Fri, 26th Aug 1:15 PM, 2011
your question of if she knows about the date you will be answered in the page i am working on now (but Interesting is always a safe bet). as for "poofing" up her agreeing, I work under the principle of "yes and". none of the characters can retroactively create something that directly counteracts something that has already been said. they can add to it if they know what they are doing but it is meant to complicate things not make it easier for them. besides when she poofed Charity she didn't exist yet so there was no opposing freewill. now there is and that makes it a much bigger deal to poof her (i am not saying it couldn't happen at some point but characters will weigh in on the morality of it if it does).
as for the numbers right now there are 56 pages posted including filler but the plot pages are numbered up to 51. that discrepancy is intended. if there is a different problem with the numbers let me know and i will check it out.

i try to post a comment on every new comic and i read author comments, i don't know why your bounce rate would drop so much so quickly, maybe it was a bug, cause that's just not normal.
Kai Faydale
Fri, 26th Aug 9:22 PM, 2011
I agree that it is odd. but since you read the author's comments and those are exactly one page away from the main page my theory of why 2 pages per person is the majority is supported.
Sun, 28th Aug 11:29 PM, 2011
I'm looking at said comments right now and I didn't leave the comic page.

Jesper Christensen on the Fine Art of Playing a Nazi Gynecologist
"The Debt" a new espionage thriller coming out next week promises to do for gynecology what the 1976 film "Marathon Man" did for dentistry.
The film, a big-budget adaptation of an obscure 2007 Israeli movie called "Ha-Hov"—it means "The Debt" in Hebrew—stars Helen Mirren as Rachel Singer, a former Mossad agent with a troubled conscience stemming from a botched 1967 mission to capture a Nazi war criminal.
The acclaimed Danish actor Jesper Christensen gives a riveting performance as Singer's nemesis, Dieter Vogel, aka the "Surgeon of Birkenau" who, in 1967, is working as a gynecologist in East Berlin under an assumed name. (In "Marathon Man," Laurence Olivier plays Dr. Christian Szell, a former S.S. dentist known as "The White Angel" with some interesting torture methods up his sleeve.)
Director John Madden said he wanted Mr. Christensen, who played the James Bond villain Mr. White in "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace," because, while he's a huge star in Denmark, he's still under the radar for American audiences. "I didn't want a well-known actor in that role," says Mr. Madden, who directed the Academy Award winning "Shakespeare in Love" and "Proof." The 63-year-old actor, who also has a role in Lars Von Trier's upcoming film "Melancholia," "is just coming to the notice of the English speaking world." Another plus: he's fluent in English and German.
Speakeasy caught up with Mr. Christensen over the phone in advance of the Aug. 31 release of "The Debt" by Focus Features.

The Tavern Knight HTML version
After Worcester Field
The morn of the third of September - that date so propitious to Cromwell, so disastrous to
Charles - found Crispin the centre of a company of gentlemen in battle-harness,
assembled at The Mitre Inn. For a toast he gave them "The damnation of all crop-ears."
"Sirs," quoth he, "a fair beginning to a fair day. God send the evening find us as merry."
It was not to be his good fortune, however, to be in the earlier work of the day. Until
afternoon he was kept within the walls of Worcester, chafing to be where hard knocks
were being dealt - with Montgomery at Powick Bridge, or with Pittscottie on Bunn's Hill.
But he was forced to hold his mood in curb, and wait until Charles and his advisers
should elect to make the general attack.
It came at last, and with it came the disastrous news that Montgomery was routed, and
Pittscottie in full retreat, whilst Dalzell had surrendered, and Keith was taken. Then was
it that the main body of the Royal army formed up at the Sidbury Gate, and Crispin found
himself in the centre, which was commanded by the King in person. In the brilliant
charge that followed there was no more conspicuous figure, no voice rang louder in
encouragement to the men. For the first time that day Cromwell's Ironsides gave back
before the Royalists, who in that fierce, irresistible charge, swept all before them until
they had reached the battery on Perry Wood, and driven the Roundheads from it hell-to-
It was a glorious moment, a moment in which the fortunes of the day hung in the balance;
the turn of the tide it seemed to them at last.
Crispin was among the first to reach the guns, and with a great shout of "Hurrah for
Cavaliers!" he had cut down two gunners that yet lingered. His cry lacked not an echo,
and a deafening cheer broke upon the clamorous air as the Royalists found themselves
masters of the position. Up the hill on either side pressed the Duke of Hamilton and the
Earl of Derby to support the King. It but remained for Lesley's Scottish horse to follow
and complete the rout of the Parliamentarian forces. Had they moved at that supreme
moment who shall say what had been the issue of Worcester field? But they never stirred,
and the Royalists waiting on Perry Wood cursed Lesley for a foul traitor who had sold his
With bitterness did they then realize that their great effort was to be barren, their gallant
charge in vain. Unsupported, their position grew fast untenable.
And presently, when Cromwell had gathered his scattered Ironsides, that gallant host was
driven fighting, down the hill and back to the shelter of Worcester. With the Roundheads
pressing hotly upon them they gained at last the Sidbury Gate, but only to find that an
overset ammunition wagon blocked the entrance. In this plight, and without attempting to
move it, they faced about to make a last stand against the Puritan onslaught.

Have been looking and can't find a current retail source for eVent fabric. Specifically I'm looking for 3-layer, with the lightest face fabric I can find. Anybody know of a current source? I need probably 3 yds but might go for a little more if I had to.
Whoops – just found some in the most obvious spot – OWF. But heavier than i'd hoped. Any OTHER sources?
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
wow! That's new. They didn't use to carry it even recently. This is the first time I've ever seen it for sale anywhere except some remnants that BPL sold.
questoutfitters.com has some similar WPB fabrics that are lighter weight but they're not eVent
@scfhomeLocale: Chocorua NH, USA
Yipes, another project.
Any thoughts on what the weight of an XL pullover (no hood) would be with 3.5-3.8 oz material when all frills are left out?
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
pullover takes maybe 2 square yards?
@bpeughLocale: Midwest
Yeah, I didn't realize that either. Dang, because I was trying to sell the rest of mine and I am asking too much. I wish I could sew to make myself a jacket.
@nathanmeyersonLocale: Southwest
Anyone have a source for 2 layer event? I need about 3 yards.
@detroittigerfanLocale: Ann Arbor
Noticed some yesterday at DIY Gear Supply:
@jnklein21Locale: Southeast
I only see 2 layer goretex on your link sumi :(
@detroittigerfanLocale: Ann Arbor
Ugh. Brain fart. Sorry!
Hey Paul,
I have some that I purchased from BPL when their shop was having the going out of business sale. It's been a few years and I still haven't used it, so maybe it's time to sell it. I have 5 yards. It's 56" wide and weighs about 2.3 osy. It is 3 layer. The outer fabric is dark gray with black ripstop pattern. The inner face fabric is white. PM me if interested.

Missle East Adventures
Sounds like fun Buddy. The Middle East was one of my favorite journeys. A littlle dissapointed to only hear of your journey after the 7th Entry. Still, lots of fun reading... cheers and have a cool time

I had to figure out transport, and I took service taxis around the city looking for the right station. Along the way, I met a woman of Arabian decent who turned out to be Canadian. She'd married in Jordanian, and seemed excited to have someone from the West to talk to for a change. She helped me find the right bus station and expressed a interest and curiousity about my decision to travel the Middle East while not knowing more than a handful of Arabic words. I must say, it would have been hard to find the right service taxi/bus without her help, and I really hoped we could meet up again at some other time. It was really fun talking to her.
We arrived at the station and said our goodbyes, as she was heading to another city. I got on the bus and headed straight out to Jerash. A young guy on the bus tried to make conversation and brought me a cold drink from the cooler. I was touched by his kindness and once at Jerash, we went together to the ancient quarter of the city. I bought tickess for the both of us, mine being around 10 dollars US and his being about 20 cents US.
Let me take a moment to say that double pricing is unethical and blatant descrimination.
Anyway, I was begining to see that my new friend was very kind, but not very intelligent at all. For example, he was going on and on about how smoking was bad, and he didn't do it, but as soon as he saw someone he knew, he asked to borrow a cigarette...almost like to fit in. He was also apparently quite unwilling to accept a moment of silience as I looked over the ancient amphitheatures and Byzantine Churches. He driveled on about this nonsense or that, sometimes pretending to ride a lion statue. He seemed to have the brain of a seven year old.
Along the way, he met one of his friends, or at least, someone who knew him, and this person turned out to give me a pretty clear and comprehensive explanation of sites and tour of the area. Sometime during that tour, I asked if he was doing this to be nice to me and Ahmet (the dim fellow I mentioned before) or if it was for money, and if so how much he expected. He gave the usual noncommital answer...I could pay if I wanted, and not pay if I didn't want to.
Of course, when it was time to part, I did give him around 2.50 US, which is not a terribly small amount of money in Jordan, particularly for less than an hour of work. He seeemed offended and let down (predictably, as this is the usual response from aspiring tour guides trying to get more money out of you). I mentioned that I thought it was plenty, and that if it wasn't, it was only because he refused to give a price when I asked. He realized he was dealing with no fool and began engaging again in the usual friendly banter about which bus to take back to Amman, etc.
On the way back, some small boys grabbed at the plastic bag I had been toting which was full of kababs. "Mister, give me food."
I said, "Get your hands off my bag! Back off! Now, are you really hungry, or are you just fooling around?"
They indicated they were indeed hungry, so I forked over the bag, and they grabbed it and ran. About five steps later, they had openned the bag up, and one of them angrily shouted, "Kababs!? KABABS?!" The disgust on his greedy face was apparent. The boys weren't poor. They were hoping for McDonalds or pizza. They were used to droves of elderly package tourists from Italy or Germany. They weren't expecting to receive what their mothers gave them at home. I was annoyed, but amused...how could I feel otherwise?
Exiting the ancient city and walking to the bus line up, I must say I was rather relieved to be saying goodbye to Ahmet. He seemed nice enough at the beginning of the trip, but I found him to be one of those people that absolutely grated on my nerves. Still, I was satisfied that I was able to treat him with kindness, and judging from the way his peers seemed to regard him, that was perhaps a welcomed reprieve from usual life. Perhaps it would be a day he'd remember, as he got to see a part of his own city that he had never seen before.
As we got near my bus back to Amman, he started smiling and asking me for a tip. I couldn't believe it. I had been so nice to this guy...I paid for his entry ticket, bought him a couple of cold drinks and given him some of my kababs. Now he wanted a tip for acting like an ass all day long? I tossed a few cents at him and told him to give me back my email adderss (he'd asked for it earlier, and I mistakenly thought he'd wanted to be friends). I went into the bus feeling disappointed in human nature.
Once back in Amman, I met up with Chris and Claudia, who has their own harrowing experience trying to get back into Amman from the Dead Sea using public transport. We went out for a meal and a hookah with some new friends from the hotel and finished with a fruit juice on the street (these are delicious, fruit juices, not streets).

Beating the market can be difficult when you pick your own stocks. One common source of alpha can be focusing on small cap stocks, which tend to outperform their larger peers over time. Another source of alpha can be following the smart money by mimicking the trades of professional investors. Our research has shown that, by combining these two approaches — buying the most popular small-cap stocks recently purchased by hedge funds — one can outperform the market on average (read the details here).
Spin-off situations tend to be good investment opportunities, as smaller divisions of larger companies tend to be misunderstood and incorrectly valued initially. In addition, the divested company can better focus on its specific business, increasing returns for shareholders in the process. Initially, the spun-off stock may underperform, as investors who received the shares might not want to hold it; once this selling pressure is gone, however, the stock tends to outperform.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, many hedge fund managers increased their holdings in the Class A shares of Starz US:STRZA including of Horizon Asset Management (who owns 8.1 million shares and is the fourth largest shareholder), of Gates Capital Management (3.8 million shares) and of SAC Capital Advisors (1.6 million shares). Other investors bullish on the stock include of Berkshire Hathaway (with 4.5 million shares, the fifth largest shareholder), of D E Shaw (890K shares) and of GAMCO Investors (763K shares).
Starz is a $3.6 billion market cap integrated global media and entertainment company with operating units that provide premium subscription video programming on domestic U.S. pay television channels (Starz Networks), global content distribution (Starz Distribution) and animated television and movie production (Starz Animation). Liberty Media Corp US:LMCA spun-off Starz in January 2013 at $14 per share to better focus on its investments in other companies, including Barnes&Noble Inc. BKS, +1.08% Live Nation Entertainment LYV, +0.30% and Sirius XM Radio Inc. SIRI, +0.92% Since then, the stock has been a strong performer, more than doubling following its divestiture. Despite rising costs for television content amid intense competition from both traditional cable networks like HBO, owned by Time Warner Inc. TWX, +0.27% and alternative competitors such as Netflix Inc. NFLX, -0.14% Starz has generated strong earnings, aided by prudent expense management and growth in subscribers, who are increasingly interested in its original programming. In addition, following its spin-off, there had been heightened speculation that Starz was looking to sell itself to a larger buyer with multiple cable networks that could better leverage Starz's growing original content, although that chatter seems to have died down recently.
Relative to its peer group of cable and satellite companies, Starz looks favorable on most metrics, including above-average profit margins, high return on invested capital, strong free cash flow generation and manageable debt levels. The only negative comparison is the company's Ebitda margin of 25%, which is below the peer group median of 30%. Valuation-wise, the stock trades at a discount to its peer group on a forward P/E basis (15.4X vs. 18.9X for peers) but a modest premium on a forward EV/Ebitda basis (10.0X vs. 8.3X for peers).
With a pipeline of original series, growing distribution in international markets and strong cash flows (approximately $475 million of which will be used to repurchase shares, equal to 13% of its market cap), Starz is well-positioned to continue investing in its own content and grow its subscriber base while generating attractive returns for shareholders. At the same time, continued success as a stand-alone entity would make the stock a more attractive acquisition candidate by larger players.

Guys, I had this issue today . Kernel kept freezing and I had no option other than getting a new one.
I thought to share with you so that it saves one's time.
How to Install kernel of your choice from debian packages (Ubuntu).
1. Download the working kernel files from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kern....._amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kern....._amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kern.....19_all.deb
Next, install the three downloaded DEB files with dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i linux-*
3. Reboot your computer to load new kernel.
4. Put your current kernel on hold (otherwise it would be upgraded once again during your next "aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade" routine):
sudo aptitude hold linux-image-2.6.39-4-generic linux-headers-2.6.39-4-generic linux-headers-2.6.39-4

India US Tax Treaty - US Tax Treaty for Indians on H1B,H4,F1,L1,J1 Visa Taxes
Indian residents who are visiting the United States principally for education or training are exempt from US tax on payments which arise outside the US for maintenance or educational purposes.
Although the tax treaty states that Indian students are entitled during their education or training the same exemptions, reliefs, or reductions in respect of taxes available to residents of the US, such individuals are not treated as US residents for tax purposes by virtue of the treaty.
However, Indian students are entitled to certain benefits that would otherwise be unavailable to US residents.
Those benefits are:
Standard Deduction:
Indian students can claim the standard deduction (for the 1999 tax year: $4300 single, $3600 married filing separately) on line 11 of Form 1040NR-EZ. Write the words "standard deduction allowed under US-India Tax Treaty" article 21(2) on Page 2 Question J of the 1040NR-EZ. If you are filing form 1040NR, enter the standard deduction on line 3 of schedule A. In the space to the left of line 3, write "Standard deduction allowed under US-India Tax Treaty." Also enter the amount on line 34 of form 1040NR. By claiming the standard deduction, you cannot claim any itemized deductions.
Spouse Exemption:
Indian students who are married may claim a spouse exemption if the spouse is living with the student in the US and if the spouse had no earned income for the 2005 tax year. Such an exemption should be indicated on line 7c of the 1040NR (in the space provided for dependents). Only columns 1 and 4 of line 7c need be completed. If you are claiming a spouse exemption, you cannot file form 1040NR EZ, you must file form 1040NR.
Dependent Exemptions (Children):
Additional exemptions may be claimed for children living with the Indian student in the US only if the children are US citizens or permanent residents. This usually means that the children must have been born in the US.
Filing Instructions:
To claim benefits under the US/India Tax Treaty, Indian students MUST file Form 1040NR-EZ or Form l040NR, not a 1040. Indian students who are married must have the spouse file a separate return. The couple may not file jointly on one return unless both the Indian student and the spouse are either US citizens or permanent residents.
An Indian student in non-immigrant status (such as F-1) who is married to a US citizen or permanent resident may elect to be treated as a US resident for tax purposes, and file a joint return. However, in that case, the student is subject to US tax on his or her world-wide income, not just US income, and would file a Form 1040. *From Internal Revenue Service Advance Revenue Procedure 93-20, concerning treatment of Indian students and business apprentices under US-India tax treaty, issued March 9, 1993.
Hope this Helps!

Tail light problem
Hi I am a new jeep owner and new to this site. I have noticed on my 2006 jeep wk lerado 3.7 qd1 that the rear maker light and brake light with not come on. pass side all work as normal as well an 3rd brake light. On drivers side there is no marker light or brake light but tail light comes on when headlmaps are on. all signals work both sides and all front lights work as normal. I have no trailer lights and checked and replaced all bulbs and fuses. Fuse number 8 was out when replaced it did not fix the problem. I have aslo changed all relays that I could find that apply to lights. I also tried a new turn signal swithch. and I cleaned and redid the ground wires under the rear seat. I am at a loss and wondering if anyone has fixed this or has any good ideas where to look next. Thanks for any help
Re: Tail light problem
Re: Tail light problem
Had a similar issue when I first bought my truck. Turned out that the previous owner had put in the wrong bulb for the brake light,so when I pulled it to see what to buy, thinking it was burnt out, I bought the wrong kind and the issue remained. I removed a 3156 and put in a 3157, problem solved. Also discovered in the process that my local auto parts store listed the wrong bulb as replacement as well.
Re: Tail light problem
I had that problem but mine was caused by an unrelated fuse which caused none of my center console lights to turn on and when i applied the brakes the brake lights came on, other wise they would remain off.
Be sure to check EVERY fuse
Re: Tail light problem
Which fuse did you have to change? I am having the same issue where my tail lights don't work and my center console lights are all off. I changed my parking light relay and that didn't solve anything.
Re: Tail light problem
HOLA!!! Welcome to Jeep Garage! :thumbsup:
Re: Tail light problem
Can't recall. It seemed a no brained at the time, a homer moment... DOHHH
You'll just need a flash light and check them all under the hood

text: Which is the best Personal Trainer Certification? ACE or NASM? One of the most common questions asked by aspiring fitness professionals is, "Which certification provider is the best?" With so many certification organizations out there, choosing one can be overwhelming. Our goal is to point out some key differences so that you feel more confident choosing the one that best meets your needs. Let's start by comparing two of the most well-known certification providers in the fitness industry: American Council on Exercise (ACE) and National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). Company Info Both organizations are well-established, with ACE being founded in 1985 and NASM in 1987. The most important factor for any organization is accreditation of its certifications by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), which both have. ACE offers four NCCA-accredited certifications including Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, ACE Health Coach, and Certified Medical Exercise Specialist, with 65,000 fitness professionals currently certified by ACE. As a non-profit, ACE is guided by a larger mission of helping people live their most fit lives by providing safe and effective exercise guidance, and protecting against unsound and ineffective fitness products, programs and trends. It contributes to that mission by setting certification and continuing education standards for fitness professionals. NASM offers one NCCA-accredited certification – personal training – while its other specialty certifications are not NCCA-accredited. Exam Info In order to become a certified fitness professional from ACE or NASM, you must pass an exam that tests more than your knowledge of health and fitness-related material. Both exams require you to apply your knowledge to real-life scenarios by selecting the best assessment, developing the most appropriate exercise program and progression options for a variety of clients with different levels of health, fitness and performance. To be eligible to sit for both the ACE and NASM exams, candidates must be at least 18 years old and hold a current CPR/AED Certification. ACE requires a high school diploma or equivalent; NASM does not hold this requirement. Both exams are proctored by a third party, with ACE's 150-question, multiple-choice exam starting at $399 and NASM's 120-question exam starting at $599. The time allowed to take ACE's exam is 3 hours, while candidates have 2 hours to take NASM's exam. Study Tools Because NCCA-accredited certification exams are so rigorous, top certification organizations offer study tools and assistance to help you prepare. ACE provides comprehensive study material packages ranging from $599-$799, while NASM's study packages range from $699-$1,999. Both provide an option to include your exam voucher, which expires 6 months after purchase. Both ACE and NASM also publish textbooks used by colleges and universities nationwide. ACE currently has over 400 college and university partners, and NASM has more than 200. Study Assistance While ACE and NASM's study models are considered "self-study," both offer online content and interactive guides to help candidates get the most out of their materials. Included in ACE's Premium and Premium Plus study programs is ACE Academy Elite, an interactive, video-led guide that provides a structured approach to studying complete with custom progress tracking, lesson quizzes, practice tests and case studies. The case studies bring posture, movement, and fitness assessments and interpretations to life through exercise programming based on assessment results and key strategies for promoting program adherence. In addition, ACE study materials include two DVDs: one focused on applied kinesiology and the other focused on teaching techniques, exercise form, spotting and effective form corrections for coaching clients. NASM offers narrated electronic presentations, quizzes, case studies, practice tests, interactive learning activities and a program design module with its study programs. Both organizations have a dedicated student resource staff to help answer questions you may have on the study material or exam-taking process. Fitness experts in the ACE Resource Center, a tool heavily utilized by aspiring personal trainers, are available by phone and email to answer any exam-related content. NASM offers a live web chat, which connects you to a NASM Education team member. ACE also utilizes social media to further assist candidates via the ACE Study Center Facebook page, which allows aspiring professionals to connect with other students, get study tips and ask questions as they prepare for the exam. ACE also hosts an Exam Prep blog updated weekly with useful study information and answers to frequently asked questions. NASM does not currently have any social media pages or blogs that focus on exam preparation. Career and Salary Many aspiring and recently certified fitness professionals wonder what they can expect when it comes to salary. In 2013, ACE conducted a survey administered by an independent third-party research firm to gather this salary information, and nearly 3,000 fitness professionals participated. The survey found the average salary of a full-time ACE-certified personal trainer is $52,537. According to information on their website, NASM Certified Personal Trainers earn an average salary of $44,000. Continuing Education Fitness professionals are required to renew their certification every two years through continuing education. Both ACE and NASM offer opportunities to earn continuing education credits through webinars, online courses and live workshops, with ACE offering hundreds of credit options at any given time. Once you've decided which fitness professional certification is most in line with your personal and professional goals, the next step is to evaluate the importance of the exam format and cost, study material content and cost, and study assistance and resources provided. Once you weigh the importance of each of these factors, this ACE vs. NASM comparison will be a great tool to help you more effectively choose the best certification provider for you.

st: how to make a string matrix
Tue, 15 May 2007 11:55:07 -0400
sacrificial rutabaga
Along with Bill Gould's solution for using Mata to hold a "string matrix", also note that such a creature can be handled by using a set of locals:
local row1 a b c d e
local row2 f g h i j k l
local row3 m n o p
local row4 q r s t u v
local row5 w x y z
local row 3
local col 2
local element : word `col' of `row`row''
di "S[`row',`col'] is `element'"
Note that unlike standard matrices, such a 'matrix' can have a different number of elements per row.
Some may note the resemblance between this solution and an array of pointers to arrays.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Settlements have resolved a Louisiana recording company's claims against two T-shirt vendors and a restaurant over merchandising rights to the phrase "Who Dat?" — a popular chant of New Orleans Saints fans.
The deals eliminate the need for a federal trial scheduled to begin Monday.
Who Dat? Inc., which recorded a song in 1983 that used the cheer, accused Storyville Apparel, Monogram Express and Who Dat Yat Chat of violating its trademark of the phrase.
The T-shirt vendors and Who Dat Yat Chat argued that "Who Dat?" is a generic phrase that can't be trademarked.
Darleen Jacobs, a New Orleans attorney, said the settlement allows her to use Who Dat Yat Chat as the name of a restaurant she plans to open in Violet later this year. Who Dat? Inc. also will pay Jacobs more than $3,174 to cover her court costs, the agreement said.
"I've been using 'Who Dat?' since I was a toddler," Jacobs said. "No one owns 'Who Dat?' It's in the public domain."
Who Dat? Inc. co-owner Steve Monistere said his company sued to protect its right to use the phrase for "very specific and narrow categories" of goods, including T-shirts, foods and beverages.
"Our company is entitled to use 'Who Dat?' as a brand name for our goods and services, and that's always been the case," he said.
Mark Andrews, a lawyer for the T-shirt vendors, said terms of their settlement with Who Dat? Inc. are confidential. However, Andrews said his clients intend to continue selling T-shirts with the phrase "Who Dat?" on them.
"The T-shirt vendors never asked to be in this lawsuit and are glad it's over with so they can get on with their business," Andrews said.
Who Dat? Inc. and the NFL settled related claims against each in January. At the time, an NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said their agreement called for the league, the Saints and the company to make co-branded merchandise available to fans.
In the days leading up to the Saints' victory in the 2010 Super Bowl, the NFL sent out a batch of cease-and-desist letters demanding T-shirt makers stop selling "Who Dat?" merchandise. But the NFL backed down after state officials challenged the league's trademark infringement claims.
Monistere and his brother, Sal, have described themselves as founding members of the "Who Dat Nation." They say they trademarked and nurtured the phrase after they enlisted several Saints players to chant it on a recording of "When the Saints Go Marching In," sung by Aaron Neville.
