The Papers of General Nathanael Greene, Volume III: 18 October 1778 - 10 May 1779by Richard K. Showman, Robert E. McCarthy (Editor), Elizabeth C. Stevens (Editor)
These volumes, published in conjunction with the Rhode Island Historical Society, represent the result of an exhaustive search for documents relating to the life and career of Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene. The papers--letters and documents received by Greene as well as those sent by him--are carefully edited and fully annotated. The editors reproduce many items in full but abstract papers that are of lesser significance. Greene, who served as quartermaster general of the army and later as commander of the forces fighting in the southern theater, is generally considered the ablest of Washington's generals. His papers are a vital source of information on the war itself as well as on the man.

Haley, Steelers are rushing to make a point
Todd Haley has heard plenty about needing to run the ball more since being hired as Steelers offensive coordinator six months ago.
While agreeing with the premise, Haley would rather focus on something more precise than simply needing to call more runs.
Haley is adamant the Steelers run the ball better in the most critical situations — when the opposition knows they will.
"That's the name of the game offensively," Haley said. "You need to be able to get the yards that you need on the ground when the defense knows you are running, wherever that falls in the game — if it is a critical short-yardage or if it is a four-minute situation."
That's what Haley hopes to see starting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, when the Steelers open the preseason against Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Steelers weren't able to run when they wanted last season, which led to an offense ranking in the bottom third in scoring.
It was partly because former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians fancied passing over running in third-down, short-yardage and four-minute situations. But it also was that the Steelers weren't very good in those scenarios.
The Steelers faced third-and-2 or less 35 times last season. They ran 19 times (converting 68 percent) and passed 16 times (converting 50 percent).
When the situation was third-and-3, the Steelers threw all 19 times (converting 58 percent).
Tackle Max Starks blamed the struggles on the offensive line not getting the job done and Arians' offensive philosophy.
"At the points they called certain plays, we might not exactly have been prepared for it, or we were expecting something else to be called, or we weren't physically ready," Starks said.
"To be honest, we weren't doing enough before then to make the defense respect the run. If we are passing the entire game, then when four minutes hit and we have to run it, it's not going to happen."
The Steelers ran 29 percent of the time on first down last season, down nearly 12 percent from the year before, and ran 42 percent of the time overall (down 15 percent from 2007, Tomlin's first season).
Haley doesn't necessarily want to run more than the Steelers did last season but would like to be more balanced to go with being effective in critical run situations.
"We want to be able to run the ball when we have to throw it and throw it when we have to throw it," Haley said. "That's really a key in being a successful offense."
Haley put an emphasis on physicality within the offensive line so the unit would be more prepared for situations like short yardage and the final four minutes of the game.
"Anytime the defense knows you are going to pound the ball and you are successful, that kind of takes away their heartbeat," guard Willie Colon.
"That's what we want to do better this year, and we will do better this year."

Mayhem # 23586
About Me
Good day to everyone!!!
I'm an actress/singer/songwriter that dabbles in the world of modeling for now. I would like to be a model full time and am looking to beef up my portfolio!
What type of photos I am looking for:
I will have to refrain from doing any nudes or suggestive shoots(as you can see from my portfolio that I am open to tasteful implied nudity) since I am also looking to break into the entertainment industry. You never know where you'll be in 5 years.
I am also looking for paid jobs but am open to TFP/TFCD shoots. If you contact me for a TFP/TFCD shoot I will be open to do one (2 hours max), however if you would like to use me as a regular model then we will have to discuss compensation. With that said, my rates are reasonable.
*Disclaimers-Things are starting to pick up for me, actually you can say someone put the pedal to the metal! So if I don't contact you right away, please be patient! I promise I will get back to you!
GUYS- I think you all are juicy! But I'm not looking for a boyfriend, although I am very flattered by the attention. If you would like to be friends I'm always down for meeting cool people so please refer to myspace site. And please don't try to convince otherwise, it'll just be a waste of your time.
PHOTOGRAPHERS-I would not contact you and expect you to pay for any of my services if I want to work with you. Just as I will not pay for any services from any photographer that contacts and wants to work with me. If I contact you and you want me to pay, different story.
Also if you want to work with me, I would like to meet you in person sometime before the actual shoot to discuss what it is you and I want from the shoot. I find it hard to just show up to a shoot without getting the feel for the photographer and I find that my shoots go smoother and more comfortably that way. Call me a diva. DO IT! hehe
However for photographers traveling to come and shoot with me I will make an exception.
I apologize if I sound rude, in fact I'm just being blunt and straight to the point so there's no confusion and we don't waste each other's time. With that said you can contact some my references and they'll tell you how fabulous I am to work with. ;P
I am Puerto Rican, Irish, Black, Mexican, and Cherokee Indian for anyone wondering lol. Love in many ways. Ani.

Oder–Havel Canal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Oder-Havel Canal)
The Oder–Havel Canal is a German canal built between 1908 and 1914, originally known as the Hohenzollern Canal. Together with Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße, the Oderhaltung and the Schwedter Querfahrt it forms the Havel-Oder-Wasserstraße. It runs from the town of Cedynia near the city of Szczecin on the Oder River between Germany and Poland to the Havel, a tributary of the Elbe, near Berlin. It is 82.8 kilometres (51.4 mi) long, and 33 metres (36 yd) wide.
In 1934 a ship lift was built on the canal, near Niederfinow.[1] It vertical lift was 16.9 metres (55 ft). The dimensions of the caisson are 85 x 12 x 2.5 m. It could lift vessels of up to 1000 tonnes displacement.

|Teddy dreams of a River East dog park to call his own.
Not only do I buy him dog toys by the pound (ha-ha "pound") but I keep them in a toy box just for him.
He has a collection of darling little t-shirts (which I sometimes iron) and a large collection of trendy harnesses and leashes.
He has dog insurance (which I suspect is better than my human insurance).
He even sleeps in the bed with me at night...at the head of the bed...on his own pillow (clearly I have given up all control).
However, despite my love for my little darling (his name is Teddy) when I want to take him to a DC dog park I have to drive "over the river and through the woods" because there are no DC dog parks East of the River.
And that really bites (no pun intended).
I, along with every other responsible DC dog owner has to jump through hoops (okay that pun was intended) to keep my dog vaccinated just so I can get him registered in DC and get the special DC dog park tag, and I pay $15 a year for the privilege
I don't whine about getting him vaccinated (I do that to keep him healthy). I don't whine about filling out the paperwork to get him licensed in DC (its the law). I don't even really mind shelling out the $15 for the dog license and the dog park tag (small price to pay so my little guy can sniff butts in peace) but I do get annoyed, really annoyed, when I have to get in my car and drive at least 15 minutes if I want to take him to a city-owned dog park.
That is so not "dog-friendly".
|Teddy's first visit to the Shaw dog park.
There has been controversy in the news as of late about Mayor Fenty spending $400,000 on a dog park while cutting back on social services. I support the Mayor on this - I want a dog park! I know not everyone is going to agree (publicly anyway) with what I am about to say but I am going to say it. A big portion of my taxes already go to support the public education and services of children I do not have (because I can't afford them and I really don't want any) and for a "safety net" that I don't get to use. My safety net is spelled "J-O-B" and when I didn't have a job for 18 months my lifestyle was mostly sponsored by my fallback safety net "H-U-S-T-L-E". I'm not asking for a rebate on my taxes because I am not taking advantage of all these city services (which are paid for with my tax dollars) so for those who keep wanting to make an issue out of dog park vs. more funds for social services (which I know are getting more than 400k) please throw us with a dog a bone, especially those of us without dependents who consider our furry friends our babies.
|" Maybe, next year Santa will bring me a dog park." *sigh*
|"Did you hear that Capital Hill is getting a dog park?"
I propose the following:
Dear Mayor Fenty and members of the DC Council,
People East of the River have dogs.
We pay taxes.
We would like to take advantage of some of these awesome amenities that are popping up all over the city.
Can you please throw us a bone (okay I lied about the puns) and set aside some funds for an East of the River dog park? I understand that DC dog parks are managed in part by a DC dog association, there has to be a dog association who would like to partner with a River East community to get a dog park. Can we make that happen?
Do it for the doggies! Pretty please!
Teddy's Mommy.
P.S. If you have any dog or pet pictures please send them in - I would love to post them. Please include the name of your little darling(s) and Ward.

Eight to ten servings
This dish was my sister Susan's favorite dessert as a child, but our whole family loved it as well. My sister and I used to peer through the oven window and watch the batter as it baked, magically separating into a layer cake with a rich, chocolate sauce underneath.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1-1/3 cups boiling water
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together the flour, 1/3 cup of the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. With a hand mixer or by machine, whisk together the eggs, sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla in another bowl and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture and stir until the batter is just mixed together.
2. Spread the batter evenly in an ungreased 8-inch-square baking pan. Mix together the remaining 1/3 cup cocoa powder, the brown sugar, and the boiling water and pour over the batter. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a cake tester or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or slightly sweetened whipped cream.

The 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance to live on in NFL lore for a long time.
With one game remaining in what looked like a lost season in September and October, the Steelers have a shot, however faint, at the playoffs. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive lineman Brett Keisel both said it's "crazy" that they still remain in the hunt. They're right: it is crazy.
Two months ago, when Pittsburgh was sitting at 2-6, it didn't look possible. Even with as weak as the AFC has been this season, the Steelers were surely going to shoot themselves in the foot coming down the stretch, I thought.
In early November, I figured by the time the Browns came to town today, the only questions to answer would have been, Would both teams have 10-plus losses, and how many empty seats will there be in the press box?
Instead, the Steelers have gone 5-2 since then to inject some meaning into today's regular- season finale.
You've heard some figures in the past week on how hard it is to start 0-4 in the NFL and recover to have a winning season, let alone make the playoffs.
Here are some numbers to back that up:
• In NFL history, 185 teams have started 0-4 or worse, and only the 1992 San Diego Chargers made the playoffs.
• In more recent history, from 1991 to last season, 81 teams started 0-4 or worse, and only 11 of those teams were even in position to finish at .500 or better entering the final week of the regular season.
• Of those 11 teams, only three were in position to have a winning season and finish above .500 entering the final week of the regular season. Two did it: the 1992 Chargers, who erased an 0-4 start to finish 11-5; and the 2004 Buffalo Bills, who went from 0-4 to finish 9-7, but that wasn't good enough for the playoffs. (The 2006 Titans started 0-5 and entered their regular-season finale at 8-7 with a chance to have a winning season but they lost and finished 8-8.)
The Steelers can't have a winning season, but it doesn't matter. They can join the playoff party with an 8-8 record and a ton of help, as you might know.
They need the Jets to beat the Dolphins; the Bengals to beat the Ravens; and the Chiefs to beat the Chargers to somehow, someway come out on top of the pile that would be five 8-8 teams.
Mediocre? Sure. But by next summer, nobody will remember that the AFC had a down year in 2013. They'll remember who won the Super Bowl. All the Steelers want is a chance to play for it.
What is it they say? Stranger things have happened?
If the Steelers can somehow sneak into the playoffs, when people say "stranger things have happened," it'll be the Steelers they'll be talking about. At least in Pittsburgh they will.

Clean The World: Recycling Soap And Saving Lives
An organization saves lives and prevents environment pollution by recycling an oft-neglected commodity.
Clean The World is a non-profit charity organization that collects left over soaps from hotels and donates them to be distributed among impoverished people around the world.
In America, hotels discard millions of pounds of soap and shampoo everyday which often end up in landfills and contaminate groundwater systems. At the same time, thousands of people around the world die every day from diarrheal diseases because they don't have soaps to wash their hands. Clean The World brought together several hotels and volunteers to collect the partially used soaps, recycle them and donate them to NGOs working in underdeveloped nations.

Cielo Announces Upcoming Shows & Events
Spring is in the air, the Miami and the Winter Music Conference is beckoning, and the party season is starting to get into full swing. March looks set to be another incredible clubbing month at Cielo with a plethora of guests jetting in from such far away places as Japan, Spain, England, Sweden, Germany, and Ibiza...
But it's with Chicago we begin and Thursday 4th as Dance.Here.Now presents a night in the company of Bad Boy Bill. To call the Chi-Town born and raised DJ accomplished would be a bit of an understatement. In addition to being voted America's favorite DJ by BPM magazine, he's also one of the co-founders of Beatport; the leader in electronic dance music downloads. That might be enough success for some, but not for this world-renowned DJ who also has two decades of globetrotting DJ work under his belt, and a dozen of acclaimed compilations featuring his infamous quick-mix skills. Last year Bill finally found time to release first full-length artist album. Aptly titled, 'The Album', it was everything you would hope for from a man on a mission to shake things up: adventurous, experimental, fresh, and yet authentic with his signature electronic edge layered into every track. "People are surprised because its different than what they probably expect from me," says the Bad Boy about his unique production that seamlessly weaves his crystalline electronic edge into rock, hip-hop, and rap and features an equally eclectic selection of guests from Duran Duran's John Taylor to JJ Flores and Steve Smooth.
Another man on a mission is Marcus Schössow, with a modus operandi to reinvent trance music. Whether that's performing to thousands or producing for the masses, the Swedish artist is in demand the world over. Europe, the Far East, America, and beyond, are all calling out for gaps in his DJ diary that's already seen him play at such prestigious events as Zurich's Street Parade, Dance Valley, Sunrise Festival and Godskitchen. But it's the intimacy of lower Manhattan and Cielo on Friday 5th as the Made Event welcomes one of the new school heroes of trance and a DJ whose music has quickly become stable parts of sets by Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Axwell and Steve Lawler.
"I've starting the New Year by getting my inspiration back," reflects Tedd Patterson whose Vibal night returns to Cielo on Saturday 6th and is never devoid of inspiration. "Somewhere along the way, I lost some of it. Traveling around the world and playing in the big rooms is exciting as hell but it can really distract you from your roots if you let it. So recently I've been revisiting the classics and getting some inspiration from my roots. My love for funk, soul and disco is as pure and strong as it's ever been. I still live for the big room anthems, but there has got to be a way to bring 'feeling' back to the floor..." Hear for yourself as the irrepressible man from the South revisits his youth and educates the masses in true Tedd Patterson-style.
Friday 12th promises to be another musically charged night as Turntables On The Hudson returns with DJ Smash & DJ Center as your deck generals for the night. Manhattan's DJ Smash (or Wayne Hunter to his mum) is an internationally respected DJ, music producer and project consultant, with an amazing list of remix credits to his name including reworking singles by such legendary figures as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bobby McFerrin, Roy Ayers, Herbie Hancock, Donald Byrd and Dizzy Gillespie. The man with the Midas touch for reimaging classics from the past and transforming them into contemporary offerings that bridge the generation divide is partnered for Turntables On The Hudson with the equally eclectic DJ Center. The Romanian-born, New York-bred artist first cut his teeth on '90s hip-hop, despite being mentored as a jazz musician. "With that foundation, I never separated music by genres. My influences were, and still are, wide open," states Center, reflecting on his musical upbringing and insatiable appetite for rap, jazz and hard-bop with a global outlook and immigrant roots. Next up is his production debut with the album, 'Everything In Time' - a ride across multiple genres, woven by lush piano chords, warm basslines, boom-bap drum patterns, flying tambourines and soaring horns. A night of seductive funk grooves and edifyingly rich sonic soundscapes are promised.
Nicolas Matar's Paradizo night welcomes Alex From Tokyo as special guest overseeing proceedings on Saturday 13th. Paris-born, but Tokyo-raised, the internationally eclectic DJ and producer has unintentionally become a key person connecting the dance world with Japan, working with such seminal labels as F Communications, Mr. Bongo, Disorient and Bossa Tres Jazz. And while since 2004 he's made New York his home, he still can be found most weekends spinning in Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo or a dozen other fashionable cities. During the day Alex records as Tokyo Black Star (with partner Isao Kumano) releasing widely acclaimed material, including last year's 'Black Ships' opus for Berlin's Innervisions label.
Thursday 18th sees Dance.Here.Now welcome guests Theo and David Tort to their night. Theo, is best known as a radio personality, currently hosting weekly dance mix-shows on Sirius XM Radio and WDRE in New York. Yet his current position as one of dance music's most influential tastemakers was not attained overnight, rather earned over the course of years working as program director and mix-show coordinator on college radio stations and then via steady club work throughout the tri-state area. It paid off catching the attention of Nervous Records where a string of top-selling compilations followed fusing the soulful side of house vocals with ease into tougher twisted beats. In juxtaposition, David Tort is one of the most in demand Spanish artists on global electronic scene, a fact proven by 50 plus productions, and remixing a plethora of acclaimed artists including David Guetta, Ultra Naté and Barbara Tucker. As a DJ David can regularly be found on a plane jetting off to far-flung reaches - before arriving at Cielo he's in Brazil on the first leg of his South American Tour before returning for dates in Columbia in April, with Miami, Moscow and Montreal sandwiched in between.
On Friday 19th Cielo's Willie Graff and Nicolas Matar welcome Tania Vulcano and Tato to the DJ booth. Tania hails from Uruguay, but has lived in Ibiza for the last 10-years where she's made the white island her own. With residencies at Space and DC 10's infamous Circoloco night she's truly cemented herself on the international stage playing alongside such legends of house as Danny Tenaglia and Fatboy Slim. Vulcano's unique vibe takes its strength from her surname (yes it's her real name) as she delivers relentless, flowing rhythm in a journey into true deep underground sounds that go from deep funky house to percussive tribal affairs. Her energy is evident in each session winning crowds over with her incessant foundation of quality house music. Tato, the man named Tomas Estaben, is by her side both professionally and personally - the fellow Circoloco resident is also her boyfriend, and the two are partners in the Isgud record label that specializes in deep and hypnotic house of the finest degree. Tato has previously collaborating with Charles Webster and Pig & Dan, and is known for painting soundscapes crafted from dreamy orchestration and near chilled neo-techno melodies.

Sam Ramji insisted that he wasn't joking, that he wasn't crazy, and that he hadn't joined some sort of dark Microsoft conspiracy.
The year was 2006, and Ramji had just been named Microsoft's head of open source software strategy. Up to then, Redmond's most famous contribution to the open source community was CEO Steve Ballmer comparing Linux to a malignant cancer. Even Ramji was skeptical — and a little afraid — of his new job.
The job would involve speaking to, in his words, "fairly polarized" audiences across the software world. "Polarized" is a bit of a euphemism. "That was a doubly scary proposition as I was not a public speaker and I knew the audiences quite well," Ramji said later, indicating he too was once part of this hostile audience — i.e. the open source lovers who hung out on sites like Slashdot.org. "I'd competed with Microsoft for many years in prior companies and used Slashdot as my homepage."
But ultimately, Ramji decided he could help change not only Microsoft — but also the general perception that the company is the mortal enemy of open source software. Five years later, it's clear that Ramji — and others working alongside him — achieved at least part of this rather lofty goal.
Ramji left Microsoft in 2009, but in the wake of his early work, the company is not just paying lip service to the open source community. It's actually open sourcing code to outside projects. And though many still question the company's overall approach to the community — pointing to the way it wields patents against Google's Android mobile operating system and other Linux-based platforms — even hard-core open sourcers are acknowledging that the company has changed.
On Wednesday, Christopher Hertel of the open source Samba project — an effort that was instrumental in the rise of Linux inside the everyday business — revealed that Microsoft recently contributed some improvements to the project. For him, it was a milestone moment that shouldn't pass without the software world giving Redmond its due.
Samba is a project that recreated Microsoft's Server Message Block (SMB) protocol with open source code, so that Windows desktops could talk to Linux file servers — not just Windows file servers. It was, in many ways, the classic anti-Microsoft play. Over the years, Microsoft fought open source because it didn't want Linux and other projects competing with its own proprietary software.
"A few years back, a patch submission from coders at Microsoft would have been amazing to the point of unthinkable, but the battles are mostly over and times have changed," Hertel and his fellow Samba contributors wrote of Redmond's recent contribution to Samba. "We still disagree on some things such as the role of software patents in preventing the creation of innovative software; but Microsoft is now at the forefront of efforts to build a stronger community and improve interoperability in the SMB world.
"Most people didn't even notice the source of the contribution. That's how far things have come in the past four-ish years…but some of us saw this as a milestone, and wanted to make a point of expressing our appreciation for the patch and the changes we have seen."
Ice Age Breaks in Redmond
The change is far from sudden. Microsoft has long hosted open source projects on its own CodePlex site — which Sam Ramji helped launch — and in recent months, the company has lent its support to big name open source projects hosted elsewhere, including Hadoop, a platform that's spreading like Kudzu across both the web and the business world.
Last month, Microsoft told us that its engineers will build a version of Hadoop that runs on Windows — it currently runs on Linux — and contribute the code back to the open source community.
Chris Hertel traces Microsoft's thaw not only to the arrival of Ramji and other open source supporters at the company, including Tom Hanrahan, but to the big antitrust cases the company lost in the US and the European Union. He was an eye witness to the company's shift after the EU case closed in the fall of 2007.
As part of its consent decree with the US government, Microsoft was required to publish documentation for many of its proprietary protocols, and according to Hertel, once the EU case closed too, Microsoft phoned him to ask if he would help publicly document the SMB protocol — which was previously kept under lock and key.
In other words, Microsoft called up one of the coders who had recreated SMB so that the protocol would work with Linux and other non-Windows operating systems, and it asked if he would help expose the protocol to the world at large. Hertel's company, ubiqx Consulting, spent two years under contract with Microsoft, documenting both SMB and its sister protocol, CIFS.
A year later, Microsoft actually attended the Samba-happy Storage Developer's Conference — a storage networking industry event Redmond had avoided for years — and it even sponsored the conference's "interoperability plug-fest," an effort to get disparate storage systems working together. For Hertel, this is all part of an slow evolution towards a Microsoft that plays much nicer with open platforms. At this year's conference, Microsoft previewed the SMB work it's adding to the upcoming Windows 8 — and provided documentation.
Ron Schnell was the general manager of the Technical Committee that oversaw the company's consent decree with the US government, and like Hertel, he believes that Microsoft's thinking may have changed when it was forced to document its protocols. "Although they may not have seen it as something useful at the beginning, they probably realized as it was happening that it was an important thing to do and that it actually benefited them in the end," says Schnell, who ran the Technical Committee's day-to-day operations from 2005 until it was disbanded in May of this year.
"That could have easily encouraged them to open up more things to the world."
Small Step or Giant Leap?
When we contacted Microsoft about its contribution to Samba, it provided a brief statement indicating that the open source code was merely the work of a lone individual. But we know from past conversations with the company and with Sam Ramji that Microsoft's open source contributions are more complicated than that. And whatever the story behind the contribution, it's a nice metaphor for the company's gradual evolution.
Microsoft has open sourced code with an outside project, and this project is all about Windows playing nicely with others. "They have embraced open source up and down the line for interoperability," Brian Stevens, chief technology officer at Linux giant Red Hat, tells Wired. "They rightfully get a blackeye for many other things, but what happens is that this overshadows other things they are doing right. I'm not saying they are involved in open source because of good will, but they certainly are involved in open source at a level people don't realize."
Longtime open source pundit Matt Asay goes further, painting the company's Samba contribution as a seminal moment. "Microsoft actively contributes to existing, competitive open-source projects like Samba — that's news," he says.
"It took 10-plus years to get to this moment, but for me, it's a definitive one and portends a great deal of Microsoft participation in open source for many years to come."
This echoes Hertel's talk of a milestone. But Hertel warns that we shouldn't go too far. "There is a lot of cool stuff going on here," he tells us. "But you can't be completely sure. Microsoft is big company. A lot of the people who were making policy decisions years ago are still there, and there are many situations where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing."
It's also worth remembering that Samba isn't nearly as influential as it once was. "These days, with most applications being on the web or moving to the web, we're much less important," Jeremy Allison, one of the leader's of the Samba project, tells Wired. "We're just a commodity."
Microsoft's Samba patches mean a bit less because the fight has gone elsewhere. Redmond's primary competition is not Linux, but Google — both on the web and on mobile devices.
Praise for Ordinary Behavior
Jeremy Allison now works for Google, as part of the company's Open Source Programs Office, and like Hertel, he supplies a few caveats when discussing Microsoft's Samba contribution. "This shows that Microsoft has changed the way they compete with open source code. They've realized that open source isn't going to go away, that it can't be driven out of the marketplace, that they have to accept it," Allison says. "But you can also say that, basically, Microsoft has moved on to fighting open source projects with patents."
He says this with a laugh. But the implication is clear. Though Microsoft is now willing to build software that dovetails with open source platforms — and even contribute code to such platforms — it's not above pressuring Android phone manufacturers into paying licensing fees for its OS patents or even suing them for patent infringement. Microsoft's approach to Android may or may not be justified, but for open source supporters, it's very much a sin.
Allison also points out that Microsoft's Samba contribution is worthy of praise only because the company was so cold to the open source community for so many years. He says that his boss — Google open source kingpin Chris DiBona — doesn't quite see the point of patting Microsoft on the back. "You do realize," DiBona told Allison, "that you're applauding them for doing something you do every day."
"Yeah," said Allison. "I know."Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Marc Lotter is the spokesman for Indiana Governor Mike Pence. Lotter says Gov. Pence and his wife met with Donald Trump and his wife Saturday.
Lotter said on Sunday that the two couples had a "warm, productive meeting" before Pence returned to Indiana. According to Lotter, Trump and Pence discussed policies the Governor has used in Indiana. Lotter said "nothing was offered" when asked if Trump discussed the possibility of Pence becoming his VP choice.
Lotter referred all other questions to Trump's campaign.
According to Pence's website, his accomplishments as governor are many:
Since taking office in 2013, Pence has achieved the largest state tax cut in Indiana history while also lowering the business personal property tax and corporate income tax to strengthen the state's competitive edge in attracting new investment and good-paying jobs for Hoosiers. He has expanded school choice, increased educational opportunity for Hoosier families by signing into law the first State funding for pre-K education in Indiana, and addressed Indiana's skills gap by making career and technical education a priority in every Indiana high school. And, because roads mean jobs here in the Crossroads of America, under his leadership the state has invested more than $800 million in new money for roads and bridges in Indiana.
The Governor has worked with the Indiana General Assembly to craft an honestly balanced budget that maintains strong reserves for the State and continues to generate a surplus. This fiscal discipline has helped Indiana maintain its AAA credit rating and earn a global reputation as a great place to do business.

Langley, BC
I wanted to simply say thank you.
For the longest time I had directed money into various places and hoped that I could retire comfortably.
The problem was that I didn't really understand how that would happen – no one took the time to explain nor did they care about my goals. I was merely a small portfolio in a large firm.
Then an associate of mine suggested I call you. I was so impressed with our initial meeting that choosing you as my advisor was natural.
You are unique in your profession with a desire to think outside of the box and the patience and expertise to walk me through the many choices.
It's a pleasure working with you and certainly rewarding.

William James
Alice you should be proud! William was in the 23rd Pennsylvania, Birneys Zouaves! I am the webmaster and Master Historian for the Regiment in which your decendant, William James fought with. Our Website is http://www.23rdpa.com . I think you'll agree it is a very passionate website which we (the 23rd PA Memorial Association) honor the men of the Regiment. In fact, just a few years ago we replaced the Headstone of Joshua Garsed in Leverington Cemetery.
Anyway I got your photo of William and made a memorial to him on our website. I put a small bio of his service on there. to view it, go to the website, click enter, go over to the right side and click original photos and then click page 28, scroll down and you will see the Writeup. If you have more info or photos you could share so we can keep his memory alive online, that would be great. I would like to get him a new headstone and could use your help. Can you take a photo of his existing grave with some reference points like the stone next to it, so I can pinpoint the grave. I live in Gettysburg but plan to be at Leverington this Saturday.

[Verse 1]
There was a shot in the dark
I was caught by surprise
There was a hole in my heart
There were tears in your eyes
And there was nothing to say
Because you made up your mind
And so I guess what you meant
When you left was goodbye
So if your going to go
And leave me in a lonely gray
I won't let it show
Until you finally float away
You got to know that you tear me up
When you say you want to take it all away, take it all away
You tear it up when you say
You want to take it all away, take it all away!
You were the one, and it was enough
To be the one you were dreaming of!
You were the one and we called it love
And now you take it away, take away!
[Verse 2]
I felt a pain in my chest with your kiss on my cheek
And as I tried to digest the words I couldn't believe
I'm left with nothing to say with my heart on my sleeve
Making it easy to hurt, and even harder to breathe
[Chorus] [x2]
You take it all away, you take it all away
Take it all away, written by Adam Young, Nate Campany, Alan Grigg, and Meredith Wright

Details of Provisions
Subsection (1) provides that the First Minister is responsible for recommending to Her Majesty the appointment of a person as Lord Advocate or Solicitor General for Scotland and for recommending the removal of either but prohibits him from doing so without the agreement of the Scottish Parliament.
The Standing Orders of the Parliament make provision for the agreement of the Parliament to be sought, by motion, to the recommendation to be made by the First Minister about the appointment of the Scottish Law Officers and the motion may relate to either or both of the Scottish Law Officers. Where it relates to both, the motion may be amended by the Parliament to delete the name of one of them.
There is no requirement that the Lord Advocate or the Solicitor General has to be a member of the Parliament. Where they are not, there are special provisions regarding their participation in the proceedings of the Parliament under section 27 and the Standing Orders.
Unlike the case of the other members of the Scottish Executive, the Scottish Law Officers can only be removed from office by Her Majesty and after the agreement of the Parliament. This adds to their security of tenure.
Subsection (2) provides that the Lord Advocate and the Solicitor General may at any time resign and shall do so if the Parliament resolves that the Scottish Executive no longer enjoys the confidence of the Parliament.
The Standing Orders of the Parliament require the Presiding Officer to notify the resignation to the Parliament.
Subsection (3) provides that where the Lord Advocate has resigned in consequence of a vote of no confidence, he shall be deemed to continue in office until the warrant of appointment for his successor is granted, but only for the purpose of exercising his retained functions. Retained functions are defined in section 52(6) and refers in particular to his functions as head of the systems of criminal prosecution and investigation of deaths in Scotland. This provision is required to ensure that there is continuity in criminal proceedings.
Subsection (4) provides that subsection (3) is without prejudice to section 287 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 providing for the demission of office by Lord Advocate. Section 287 provides for indictments raised by a Lord Advocate to remain effective even although he has demitted office and for indictments to run in the name of the Solicitor General for Scotland if the office of Lord Advocate is vacant. Section 287(5) provides that, where both the Lord Advocate and Solicitor General demit office on the same day (as would happen in the event of a vote of no confidence - see subsection (2) above), the Lord Advocate is deemed to continue in office for the purposes of the 1995 Act until the appointment of his successor.
Subsection (5) protects the independence of the Lord Advocate in his capacity as head of the systems of criminal prosecution and investigation of deaths in Scotland by providing that any decision made by him in that capacity is to continue to be taken by him independently of any other person. This is intended to ensure that the traditional independence of the Lord Advocate in taking those decisions when he was a member of the UK Government continues now that he is a member of the Scottish Executive.
The provisions in subsection (6) are necessary to disengage the offices of Lord Advocate and Solicitor General for Scotland from the UK Government. This subsection removes them from the list of Ministerial offices in Schedule 2 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975. Section 2 of that Act limits the number of holders of Ministerial offices who are entitled to sit in the House of Commons at any one time. Subsection (6) also removes the two offices from Part III of Schedule 1 to the Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975. That Part lists the Law Officers to the UK Government and specifies their salaries. See also the Scotland Act 1998 (General Transitory, Transitional and Savings Provisions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/901), which includes transitional provisions relating to these amendments.

After years of shying away from kissing on screen,Salman Khan is finally 'ready' to kiss Asin. Salman Khan has always been uncomfortable at the thought of kissing his female costars on screen and has always shied away from lip-locks in his films.
So when he was asked to kiss costar Asin in his forthcoming film Ready by director Anees Bazmee, he refused again. But surprisingly after stories of constant denials for months, it seems that Salman has now agreed to kiss Asin in the film. If sources are to be believed, director Anees Bazmee and costar Asin tried their best to persuade Salman giving reasons that the kissing scene is very important in the script. And finally Salman agreed for the act.
However it's not a lip-lock with Asin but a peck on the cheek. Nevertheless, it is still surprising coming from Salman who never had the need to kiss his costars to add to their onscreen chemistry. Lets hope the kiss works magic for the movie as lot of hopes are riding on it. Asin has been in need of a hit since her Ghajini days as she hasnt appeared in a single movie post London Dreams.

Drawing Together: Art of the Longfellows
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is best know as a poet, but he also was accomplished in drawing and music. He shared his love of drawing with most of his siblings. They all shared the frequent activity of drawing and painting with their children. The extended family included many professional as well as amateur artists, and several architects.
Maine's corn canning industry, as illuminated by the career of George S. Jewett, prospered between 1850 and 1950.
Settlers' clothing had to be durable and practical to hold up against hard work and winters. From the 1700s to the mid 1800s, the women of Maine learned to sew by making samplers.

Ray Lamb
June 26, 2011
by Loran Smith
There was no big announcement last month when Ray Lamb cleaned out his desk at the Butts Mehre Building and drove the 18 miles to Commerce where he lives--the end of another round-trip ritual he had been making for almost two decades.
More often than not, he drove his pickup truck. A small-town alumnus throughout his life, he, like most high-school coaches, always drove pickups. Never know when you might have to haul some equipment somewhere or fetch a load of fertilizer for the football field. In addition to that, a pickup fit his personality, that of an easygoing, service-oriented, community servant who found virtue and emotional reward in coaching high-school football. Climbing in his pickup and finding a country music station always put Ray in his comfort zone.
He could ride from one end of the state to the other, enjoying time by himself and stopping along the way to visit coaching friends. More often than not, the coach and his wife would invite Ray to dinner--a home-cooked meal with the reminiscing and recall of yesteryear dominating the evening. If a coach were passing through Commerce, Ray and his wife, Linda, would make sure he knew there was an extra place for him at the table for dinner. There is a brotherhood among coaches, and the bonding is real. Genuine and everlasting.
When Ray called on his coaching friends across the state he was being neighborly, but in the process he engendered limitless goodwill for the University of Georgia. He always kept an ear to the ground, learning about a prospect not on anybody's radar. If a star player had academic problems or was a disciplinary risk, Ray often knew about it first and would pass it on to the Bulldog coaches.
After 32 years of head coaching at Warrenton, Commerce, and Monroe, Ray retired and became the director of high school relations for the Bulldogs, a position that the NCAA has gradually reduced to little more than a title. Although he enjoyed spending time in the office and watching afternoon practices, Ray finally concluded that he was not getting any younger and that he would rather give priority to seeing his grandkids compete in various sporting events in towns across the state.
"I like working for Coach (Mark) Richt so much that it was hard to give it up," Ray said, somewhat solemnly in his office a couple of weeks ago. "He is a fine football coach, and he treats kids right. I appreciate the man, but the NCAA has reduced the role I was in to virtually nothing. I hated to tell Coach Richt I wanted to retire, but my grandkids have priority in mine and Linda's lives more than ever."
Bobby, his oldest, is the head coach at Mercer, which is just starting up football. Hal, his second son, and Lynn Davis, his daughter, are entrenched in the school system in Calhoun, and Trey, Hal's son, is the quarterback at Tennessee Tech. Getting to see his grandkids play on the weekends and simultaneously working in the Bulldog games was getting to be a challenge.
In recent years, it was not uncommon for Linda and Ray to see Calhoun play on Friday night, Georgia Saturday afternoon, and Furman Saturday night. It was hard to see Trey and the Golden Eagles, but that worked out occasionally. "It is hard on us to get to as many games as we sometimes do," Ray smiled, "but we think it is worth it. We still get excited on Friday nights like we always did."
This is a man who, like most high school coaches, has given of himself to kids and their communities. In a lifetime on the athletic scene, you come in contact with the highest luminaries in sport--truly great players and great coaches. Not any of them, in the view here, has been more of a role model or an altruistic and selfless contributor to football, the game we love, than Ray Lamb. Ray never won a national championship, never had a shoe contract, never had a TV show, and never signed a multi-million dollar deal. All he did was give of himself to provide opportunity for kids to better themselves.

Oh, the glamour. Danny Boyle — film director, Oscar-winner, and greatest living Briton since he staged the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics — is sitting in a rain-moistened former mental facility in Bow, clutching a plastic pint glass. It's Monday night, three days before the start of the film festival Shuffle, which the 56-year-old has curated at the derelict St Clement's Hospital. It's part of a wider programme of events, mostly organised by volunteers, marking a pioneering partnership between the Mayor of London and the UK's first Community Land Trust. Commercial homes will fund affordable housing on the site, which will also hopefully become a hub for locals. Boyle has a vested interest: he is one.
"I'm from Manchester but I'm proud to be an adopted East End boy," says Boyle. "I've lived around here for 30 years. I used to live in that tower block, Ennerdale House" — he waves a hand in the direction of a nearby ex-council high-rise — "and used to watch the hospital at work from my bedroom on the 17th floor." Since it closed in 2005, St Clement's has been shuttered up, presenting a brutal frontage to the brutal Bow Road, but it always had potential. "I live just over the road now and I always thought I'd love to film here," Boyle continues. "My elder daughter Grace [he has two adult girls and a boy with former girlfriend Gail Stevens] has broken in here a couple of times. You know, the modern generation look for places for pop-up experiences and they never wait for permission."
The person who got Boyle — and Grace too, incidentally — actively involved in the rebirth of St Clement's is Kate MacTiernan, a 28-year-old Australian architect with impeccable connections; she's married to Rohan Silva, the No 10 special adviser turned techpreneur. She sits between Boyle and a slab of electronics that is belching warmth into the makeshift cinema created inside the theatre and social club built for the patients in the 1950s. "I'm protecting you from the heat," she tells Boyle, which is possibly not a metaphor.
"Kate introduced me to this wonderful idea of a Community Land Trust," he says. "What right-minded person wouldn't approve of that as a way of maintaining a community's sense of itself rather than being forced out through house prices?" More importantly, he says, he came to St Clement's to see volunteers planting gardens and hosting activities. It echoed the spirit of the 2012 opening ceremony, which was focused on volunteers, and he wondered how he could contribute.
"I'm completely useless at everything, but I can provide films free because I can bully people," Boyle says. "Unfortunately they have to be my films, but I can guarantee that I will turn up for a Q&A because I live locally." As well as his own works Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and Trance, he's showing The Long Good Friday, which illustrates how much the East End and Docklands have changed; Withnail and I because it's a cracking festival film; and screenings of the Olympics opening ceremony and his National Theatre production of Frankenstein. Composer A R Rahman is co-hosting a showing of their collaboration, Slumdog Millionaire, for which Boyle won his Oscar. "There's also a film of mine that nobody's seen," Boyle adds, tantalisingly.
Why is the East End so special to him? "I come from a working-class background — that is a long time ago, and I am certainly not that now, but I have always felt very comfortable here," he says. "I have always loved the diversity of the area: the problems and the dynamics of it give me a feeling of adrenaline." He shot bits of his zombie drama 28 Days Later here, loves working at Three Mills Studios down the road, and felt immediately enthused when former mayor Ken Livingstone suggested the Olympics could regenerate Hackney Wick. "It will work," says Boyle. "You get a vision of the Olympic Park in 20 years' time as a place that ordinary families can come and enjoy." Scrupulously, he adds that is "wonderful" that Boris Johnson is considering creating a second Community Land Trust in the Olympic Park.
Boyle is, in that wonderfully old-fashioned phrase, a "man of the Left". He directed the Queen in the spoof James Bond portion of the opening ceremony, but turned down her subsequent offer of a knighthood because he preferred to be "an equal citizen" rather than a preferred subject. He's chuffed, though, that Doreen Lawrence, who carried the Olympic flag in the opening ceremony, is now a Labour baroness: "She represents something that all right-minded people believe is really important — that an ordinary person can speak out about something that is wrong, and be proved right."
How on earth did he cope, working with Dave and Boris to find something emblematically British? "Well, I'm a democrat first and foremost, so I will work with a democratically elected government and a democratically elected mayor," he says. "But a job like that is timeless, and the responsibility is much broader than to any political persuasion, or whatever government happens to be in power at that moment."
Did he never take the chance to bend Cameron's ear about arts subsidy and film funding? "Ha ha ha, no, I use your [the media's] good offices to encourage investment in the arts," he says "For me, state subsidy of the arts is important, to protect its breadth, its diversity and the intrigue that it can throw up." He was quoted recently as saying that the Olympic feelgood legacy had already been killed by the harsh economic climate but insists now that it lives on in projects such as St Clement's, and in the hearts of the volunteer performers, who keep in touch on social media and whom he bumps into all the time.
Boyle is hoping to start work soon on an adaptation of Irvine Welsh's Porno, which revisits the characters from the two men's unlikely, heroin-fuelled hit Trainspotting, two decades on. "It is a serious proposition with an interesting idea behind it that is more than it being a sequel with commercial interest for people," says Boyle. Meanwhile, he is casting a mystery project. "Not a film, something different," he says. A play? "Something different."
Don't cuts to drama school grants mean that all our actors, like all our politicians, are toffs now? "I know that's a perception," he replies. "I can only tell you I had a day today casting actors from all sorts of backgrounds, which is very encouraging about the quality that is out there. I think we are pretty good at it, acting. I think there is something in our spine, to do with theatre, that gives us a confidence that even the Americans find intimidating."
This is the fourth or fifth time I have met Boyle. He is slightly thinner of hair but otherwise as boyish and exuberant as ever ("Every litter needs a runt," he told me when he was given a British Film Institute fellowship in 2010). He says he suffered no deflation after the opening ceremony was over, because it wasn't down to him, but to everyone involved, and anyway he had a film, Trance, to be getting on with. He won't talk about his brief romance with Trance's leading lady, Rosario Dawson, so I ask if he went to the Anniversary Games in the Olympic Park two weeks ago. "No, I went to New York to see my daughter, then to Mexico," he says, slightly sheepishly. "But I kept an eye on them. It was great to see that stadium full again."

so this is puzzling me, what is the best/healthiest way to park the sportage on a slight slope?
so first few times i noticed the sportage is totally holding on the P gear and when i release it, it's hard to disengage and makes a bad jolt
so i got into this habit i engage the (foot) parking brakes first all the way down, release normal brakes, when the car holds on the parking brakes i shift into P and its working quiet well
but yesterday i tried this on a slight slope and when i released the normal brakes the car holds on the parking brakes but makes a stress sounds and kept slowly sliding backwards until i engaged P
any advices or insights about this?

I think that whole part about who built it is total and complete BS. I am NOT one of those guys who look down on someone who didn't build the car, they are either a car lover or not, and it has nothing what so ever to do with if they built it or not. And in that regard, when I look at someone elses car, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference if it's glass or not, or repro metal or not, the over all impression I get of the car as I look at it from across the street THAT is what moves me.
As far as glass being easier, again, I don't buy that. I have done both and I have to say they both take a boat load of time and skills to make nice. They are totally different materials so the job is totally different, but both take a boat load of time and skills, they are just different skills.
But for me personally, not anyone else, for me personally I like the history of a steel car. Now when it's like my truck where there aren't two panels on the whole thing that came from the same truck (well actually the front fenders have known each other from birth, but that's it) it's easy to say there is no history. But when those parts are exactly as the original ones it still works, it's like they all came together. The fact that they came from different sources is quickly forgotten.
come on. history.. really.. most cars on a show field.. are pieces of many donors.. and/or new parts..
I don't care if an owner build it or not either.. but the fact if they drive it or not..
I'd rather see a 1979 t/a with 150k on it than the low mile 234 miles since new car.. as it wasn't enjoyed..
my SS has a history, sold in n.c. and I bought it in maine. oh and it's stock. mighty boring..
the truck was a farm truck. fixed up for a guys son before I got it.. history of haul'n hay,
very few cars have a history worth a darn and those are one owner or one family cars.. (at least to me) my SS came from dale earnhardt chevy in newton n.c. no one really cares that thats the chevy store that sold it.. I'll bet as soon as I change out the engine , I'll get haters..
most of this history you speak off is,, car got old, needed fixing, was parked in barn and forgot about for 40-60 years.. thats the story of most cars as they age.. only that group of owners kept everything as they remembered the depression.. unlike today that they'd junk a car for scrap money before parking it in a barn.. one has to remember that these old cars at one time where just that old worn out junkers.. parked because it was nickle'n and dime'n the owner to death..
There's a big difference between buying a new steel body and finding an old neglected body and bringing it back to life ! Its the same with buying a fiberglass replica and bringing old steel back from the dead!
new glass Kit cars are easy and only need minor repairs on flaws from the molds! That's why they sell kit glass body's! (their easy) Unless your making your own molds for parts I also do that! Its easy to assemble the good glass kits, the cheep ones are poor quality and need additional work like bracing, thickening in areas, filling of pits and blemishes etc! The hardest thing to do on glass kit body's and parts is Knowledge knowing the difference between laminating resin and standard resin , mixing for different dry times( cold or hot mix), cloth or fiber! and sanding that darned glass it itches for days in the damnedest places! I like working on Glass cars And I find it much easier to form a wing or fender flares or fins on a glass car, then making custom additions on steel cars out of steel !
My post before was meant to give that impression I wasn't cutting down glass! I own a glass! I think at a show Glass should be in a different class then old steel though! I always have and I always will !
The arguments are silly each has its points but to argue that they are both equal skill levels pertaining to body's fenders hoods etc is really unrealistic! I use glass on steel while doing some customizing but have never used steel on glass except for the molds or shapes (I also use cardboard, duct tape, chicken wire, wood, and foam) and then Glass them!!!
My opinions arn't every ones and Im not trying to change anyone's! It impressions of 50 years of owning and building both personally and in my business!
As far as them being both difficult I have only done a few fiberglass cars, then a ton of motorhome fiberglass work. Fiberglass box flares, Sixties Shelby's, Corvettes, etc. But on the cars, with modifying stuff or correcting poorly made parts (an Auburn Kit car) it would have been easier in my opinion to do it in metal. But maybe it's more because I hate working the itchy fiberglass.
OEM vs repro. I guess it depends on your perspective. I never cared about oem vs reproduced bodies (steel or glass) until I got my '69 Camaro which is an all steel numbers matching original survivor. When Dynacorn started importing new camaro bodies, and guys started cutting rusted scrap oem cowl's up and building a "new" Camaro around a VIN tag it chapped my *****. It hurts the value of my vehicle and its just plain dishonest.

Same with glass guys buying up titles so they didn't have to title it as New or pass inspection for an assembled title!!!
"Hey, what year is your "T"? "Oh its a 2010
I had a 34 coupe and was beat in COBO by the first glass replica I ever saw personally on the street or at a show !! I admit if it was steel he would have beat me hands down!!!! But I actually chopped mine his came in the kit already chopped! That stuck in my craw all these years!!
So Im kind of biased Jester
I, myself have no problem with someone building/owning a fiberglass car
But the coupe in question does ... NOT ... look anything like a 33/34 Ford. The oldest part on it is most likely 10 or 15 years old.
It is a KIT ... body from one source, engine from another ... and so on.
I do not see the first REAL Ford part of any kind on it.
A 33/34 Ford coupe looks similar to this
or without fenders ...
