I just bought this color on sale ($10) which made it very affordable. I love it! The color is perfect alone or blended. I have light to medium skin with dark hair and eyes. It's not ghoulish or too pink. It's a great compliment for my complexion.

This is a gorgeous warm, tawny, shimmery light brown. It's a perfect crease color and light enough to be used during the day. (It's actually light enough that you could use it all over the lid.) I use UDPP under it and it lasts all day without creasing. It has just the right amount of microshimmer that it doesn't look flat but it also doesn't look cheap and glittery. The packaging is beautiful with birds stenciled across the lid. I can't wait to buy a few other colors from this line.

If I had to pick a word-of-the-year, it would be "privilege." You either know why or you don't. And if you don't, I couldn't sum it up in a couple of quippy bloggy paragraphs. Truth is, the real defining story of 2014 is the emerging divide between those who talk about/are aware of privilege, and those who say "what are you talking about?

The paper addresses the emerging paradigm of performing project management over the web. It describes the pitfalls in current project management practices amidst the challenges they have to face due to increasing project complexities.At present, the government, industry and clients are all seeking to bring about change in the construction industry to improve quality, competitiveness and profitability and increase value to clients. The findings of this report will highlight how web-enabled project management and its associated features are strongly linked at fulfilling the above endeavours of the parties concerned. However, it emphasises that in order to successfully embrace web-enabled project management equal consideration should be given to technology, processes and people.

Dodging Locusts
Iain Couzin
National Geographic Emerging Explorer
Expertise: Swarm Behaviorist
Location: Mauritania
Locust swarms eat all the vegetation in their path, seeking protein, salt, and water. When that runs out—sometimes even before—they turn into cannibals. Locusts hate to be around each other. They change color and behavior when in groups, and start to form swarms. They're the Jekyll and Hyde of the insect world. Imagine hopping masses of millions of bugs, each trying to eat the ones in front of it.
Mauritania suffers countrywide outbreaks of these swarms. My team and I, studying the outbreaks there, wanted to know more. When I picked up one locust to examine it more closely, my hands swelled up. Toxic chemicals on the insect had reacted in sunlight when they touched my skin. To make matters worse, we were a two-day drive outside Mauritania's capital, in the middle of the desert, and had just run out of food. Across Mauritania there was a shortage, because the locusts were eating the crops. We couldn't eat the locusts, normally a great source of protein, because they were toxic. We got desperate after a day or two. We tried to buy food from the nomads who stopped to drink tea, and managed to get our hands on some camel entrails. My decade of vegetarianism prior to the trip went out the window.
We dried the entrails in a tree outside camp. After I ate them, cramps and vomiting set in and I started hallucinating. I was in a dream world, and not a good one. We were very short of water, had no medical equipment except some antibiotics, and had no way of getting out of the sun other than to bake in our airless tents. It was a waiting game. After I started feeling better a few days later and we got some supplies in, a massive sandstorm kept us in the tents for an extra day and a half. We just had to ride it out.

Further development of raccoon poxvirus-vectored vaccines against plague (Yersinia pestis)

AbstractIn previous studies, we demonstrated protection against plague in mice and prairie dogs using a raccoon pox (RCN) virus-vectored vaccine that expressed the F1 capsular antigen of Yersinia pestis. In order to improve vaccine efficacy, we have now constructed additional RCN-plague vaccines containing two different forms of the lcrV (V) gene, including full-length (Vfull) and a truncated form (V307). Mouse challenge studies with Y. pestis strain CO92 showed that vaccination with a combination of RCN-F1 and the truncated V construct (RCN-V307) provided the greatest improvement (P = 0.01) in protection against plague over vaccination with RCN-F1 alone. This effect was mediated primarily by anti-F1 and anti-V antibodies and both contributed independently to increased survival of vaccinated mice.

David Allen Green, legendary blogger and champion of such worthy causes as chiropractors' nemesis Simon Singh, Twitter humorist Paul Chambers and Councillor John Dixon, fearless foe of Scientological stupid, has a new heroine. His word, not mine. Step forward Mrs Speaker, Sally Bercow (née Illman), ex Tory totty turned would-be Labour candidate and a woman with an enviable talent for opening her mouth and getting into trouble.
Our Sally was never a shrinking violet, but since her husband's elevation to the Speaker's chair she has been unstoppable. There were the self-revelations of boozing and one-night stands, of course. In June, the enthusiastic Tweeter opined that George Osborne was "mental". More recently, she ruffled a few diplomatic feathers by urging her followers to mark Pope Benedict's arrival in Britain by sponsoring her parachute jump in aid of Stonewall - and then promising not to land on the pontiff. The Daily Mail declared that she had "joined the chorus of secularist attacks on the Pope," which was probably an exaggeration.
The other day Andrew Pierce accused her of being "swivel-eyed" and her Tweets "increasingly childish". If Mrs Bercow were as litigious as she is outspoken, that might be grounds for legal action. Instead, it is she who finds herself the proud recipient of a threatening letter from solicitors. Not that the Pope is suing her (any more than he sued Richard Dawkins, who called him "a leering old villain in a frock"). Nor is George Osborne. No, she has upset Migration Watch and its leader, Sir Andrew Green, for comments she made during a newspaper review on Sky News in August. Discussing an Express story linking mass immigration with youth unemployment, which drew on Migration Watch press release (as many such stories do), she described the pressure group as a "right wing think tank" and claimed that similar arguments had once been used by Hitler and Sir Oswald Mosley. Migration Watch are accusing her of calling them fascists, and demanding an apology and costs. Instead of backing down, she has engaged the services of Jack of Kent, who is rapidly becoming the legal world's Max Clifford. (Being sued for some anodyne comment or dense scientific paper? Facing laughable criminal charges? You know who to call...) Well done her.
Not that I feel like defending the substance of her apparent remarks. Decrying anyone who questions the benefits of large-scale immigration as a right-wing extremist or Hitler fan is lazy and offensive. As a cheap debating point it's a wearingly familiar left-wing tactic. And of course it's Godwin's Law in action: when you start bringing up Hitler, it's frequently a sign you've run out of proper arguments.
Migration Watch is right to cry foul, and I can even sympathise with their frustration at hearing the accusation yet again, this time from the wife of the supposedly non-political speaker. (Yes, I know that she isn't the Speaker, and that such strictures therefore shouldn't apply to her. But then again I've never heard Prince Philip using that excuse.) But to launch a libel action the basis of casual comments made during a little-watched newspaper review is ridiculous. For one thing, Mrs Bercow's comments were taken apart quite comprehensively by her fellow guest, Iain Dale, who made most of the points made by Migration Watch's solicitors. The group simply does not need to resort to the law to rebut the claims (which were, as Dale pointed out, "preposterous"). This action will very likely prove counter-productive, putting Migration Watch's sometimes questionable statistics under the microscope and drawing attention to the use made of their statistics by actual right-wing extremists.
Legal letters like this are basically attempts to extort money with menaces, the menace being the law of libel, which is draconian in fact but even more draconian in reputation. Lawyers calculate that recipients will be scared shitless by the prospect of a financially ruinous court action and meekly apologise. And pay the solicitors' generous "costs". More often than not, they do. It's a scam. And it's scandalous that the law continues to allow them to do so.
It's too early to discuss what might happen in court (I'd be amazed if this gets within a mile of an actual court), but I'd like to offer, among other arguments, what I shall call the Hitler defence. Given that invoking the Fuehrer is so common, indeed offhand, a rhetorical trope, it's a fair bet that almost no-one who uses it ever does so literally. Saying "the Nazis did things like that" is a hyperbolic way of saying "that's a really bad idea". Saying "you're as bad as Hitler" means "I don't agree with you. A lot." As a point of historical fact, I don't believe the Nazis made much capital out of immigration. Their principal targets were the Jews, who had been living in Germany for centuries.
Calling the lawyers' bluff in such cases is a high-risk strategy. Simon Singh eventually won his tussle with the British Chiropractic Association, of course, but only after an Appeal Court hearing and at the expense of thousands of pounds and more than a year of his life. On the other hand, former diplomat Craig Murray was threatened with legal proceedings after being uncomplimentary on his blog about Ed Husain and the Quilliam Foundation. He just told them to get stuffed, and eventually they did.
I'm happy to support Sally Bercow defence of this vexatious litigation. But she's not my heroine. She is no Simon Singh, standing up for the right to engage in robust debate on matters of importance for public health and science. Unlike Paul Chambers, her life has not been wrecked by a demented Crown Prosecution Service. She has ruthlessly exploited her husband's position to get herself in the public eye, yet pretends it has nothing to do with her. That, though, is the point. Free expression is not just for "heroes" or people we happen to agree with. If it means anything, it means the right of stupid people to say stupid things.
UPDATE: The exchange of solicitors' letters, and a transcript of the Sky News segment, are available in pdf format here. Inserted between the legal letters is a highly apologetic note to Sir Andrew Green which the solicitors wanted Sally Bercow to sign.

I need free of cost images or photos for my commercial website
What are sources of images ?
I like some images on Flickr under Common creative license
What do you mean by give credit in Common creative license or Flickr?
What Do you mean Royalty free images
I dont want to give photographers name in my website
This Is link of image http://www.flickr.com/photos/burningimage/2341162923/
They say some Right are reserved
what is attributionWhat do you mean by give credit in Common creative license or Flickr?
Please give me solution for this.
I'll go down the lines.
There are many sources of images, but what you're looking for is called stock photography. Stock photography is a picture from a pre-collected set of images taken by professional photographers. They are pictures that are usually for sale that can be used in many situations.
The creative commons license means (and this is in general - make sure to view the specific license before you start, done by clicking 'creative commons license') that the image is free to be used for personal or commercial use. Usually, you have to link back to the original photographer or provide some sort of credit.
Royalty free are a type of paid images that have a single, one-time fee. These differ from Rights Managed photographs that have continuous fees over time, depending on an assortment of factors (how often it's used, how much profit you make from it, etc.).
Under the Creative Commons license, you usually have to give the photographers name. This can be as easy as putting a 'sources' or 'credits' link in the footer or putting the photographers name in the 'alt' attribute of the photograph. For instance, you could do something like this:
<img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2162/2341162923_3c492c670c_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Fly in the rain by Nam Nguyen" />
Edit: I think that that's XHTML, but I can't be sure w/out checking. So confusing these days!
So if you hover over the image, you'll see the name (if no other effects are in place). Easy as that, and very unobtrusive. If you contact the photographer, he might let you use it without reference, but I highly doubt it. As in, very highly doubt it. His specific policy states that you need to reference him if you use it, but it's OK for commercial work.
Good luck.~TehYoyo
Is there any source available where i can use images without credit
To be honest, it's highly unlikely. Most photographers want some credit for their hard work (which is understandable). Even some commercial photographers want you to give them credit.
I can't think of one off the top of my head.
There was a similar thread recently. You might get some ideas there, but again, you need to check the terms of use for each site.
The same rule apply for these site alsohttp://morguefile.com/http://sxc.hu/
I also need free images for my website. Any website ?
Well, there's the ones mentioned above, plus the ones in the other thread I linked to. Have you tried all of them?
I'm very interested to know why professionals who want to sell their commercial services or products, expect to be able to find other product for free? Why should you not pay for the images for your professional website? I want free stuff too. Do you know where there's a supermarket where I can get free food? Please just think about it.
Any stock image site will have images for you. The license or terms of use can be sticky but keep in mind that as long as you are not selling the photos in anyway, you are pretty much safe.


text: Project Description An 11-acre site on Roosevelt Island, in New York's East River, will soon host a 2 million-square-foot applied-science and engineering campus for up to 2,500 students. A joint venture between Cornell University and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, the scheme was designed by New York–based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill to holistically integrate landscape and architecture. Composed of 10 buildings, the campus is organized around three learning hubs, includes a 150,000-square-foot photovoltaic array, and proposes more than 500,000 square feet of public gardens, some of which are integrated into the open-plan structures. "It's pretty unique in New York," says design partner Roger Duffy, FAIA. Phase one, to be completed in 2017, comprises 300,000 square feet of housing and 300,000 square feet of research and development space, including a 150,000-square-foot, net-zero academic building. "It's taking goals that campuses have set for 20 to 30 years from now and trying to achieve it in 2017," says senior designer Colin Koop, AIA.

The owners will vote on the proposal, which was recommended by the league's competition committee, where a team would have to score a touchdown on the first possession of overtime to end the game. In the case of the Vikings and Saints, where New Orleans scored a field goal on the first possession, the Vikings would have had a chance to get at least one possession. If the Vikings would have had the rule in place and scored a field goal of their own on their first possession, normal sudden-death rules would have then applied.
Proponents of the rule point to field goal accuracy as the primary reason for the change. From the time overtime was created in 1974 until 1993, both the team that won the toss in overtime and the team didn't won 46.8 percent of the times – with the other 6.5 percent of games ending in ties. Since 1994, the team that won the toss has won overtime games 59.8 percent of the time, with 26.2 percent of the wins coming on the first possession.
"Changes occurred over time. Now the numbers have changed pretty dramatically," said Rich McKay of the Competition Committee. "Now the team that wins the toss wins 59.8% and the team that loses the toss wins 38.5%. The pros of the switch is it tries to rebalance the advantage that's been gained since '94 based on field goal accuracy being greatly improved, field position being improved.
"So I would say to you that there are advocates who will say that we're trying to put in a system that emphasizes more skill and more strategy in overtime as opposed to the randomness of the coin flip."
Although the rule is intended to give both teams a fair chance in overtime, it may create its own set of problems. If the team that gets the opening kickoff scores a field goal, it would allow the other team to take chances on fourth downs to get into field goal range themselves and potentially hit a big play that could result in a touchdown and defeat the team that won the coin toss and scored. It might need some tweaking after being implemented, but it would appear that the Vikings playoff loss is having a ripple effect, as other owners don't want what happened to Minnesota to potentially happen to their teams in the future.

By playing for free you also get a feel for the games without any risk – you'll be able to tell what kind of payout ratio (or return to player) a game has and whether it is a volatile game (infrequent large wins) or a consistent payer (small, frequent wins) – this type of knowledge is extremely important in deciding whether you are suited to player a particular game, whether you'll enjoy it and whether it's worth spending your time and potentially money on.

Apr 17, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterProperty owners should be sure to check their mailboxes in the next few days because the Fremont County Assessor's Office will mail notices of value for 2013 on Thursday.
Taxpayers will find the assessed market value of their property and estimated taxes for 2013 on the notice of value.
"That's directly indicative of what's going to happen to the taxes in the fall," county assessor Tara Berg said.
The actual property taxes will be based on the assessor's valuation and the level of property tax the Fremont County Commission sets in August.
If taxpayers think there was a mistake made on their property assessment, they have 30 days to notify the assessor's office.
"It's important for me to state they need to look at that notice and call us with any questions they have," Berg said. "They have 30 days to protest."
She said taxpayers can reach her office at 332-1188.
In March, the assessor's and treasurer's offices announced they thought the assessed value of all property in the county would drop 6.5 percent to $950 million.
Berg said the overall drop does not mean property owners can expect a similar change across the board.
She said much of the total assessed value comes from taxes on minerals. Trends in the market price of property also vary across the county, Berg said.
Wyoming law requires the assessor's office to assess the market value of property, Berg said. For a home, her office appraises properties every six years based on a physical inspection of size, quality of construction, condition and age, Berg said.
Her office combines that assessment with sales information for the property's area to determine its market value.
Berg said if her office inspected a house and the homeowner made changes to it since the previous inspection, the value likely will change this year.
In a press release, Berg said the value of agricultural land will increase this year because of high hay prices and the productive value of land determined by Farm Credit Services.
She also said her office reappraised properties in areas including those west and east of Dubois, along the Wind River in Riverton, in rural Riverton areas, parts of the outskirts of Lander and some sites within Riverton and Lander.
Veterans and widows or widowers of veterans can qualify for a property tax exemption, but they must reapply for 2013 by calling the assessor's office.

Future shock
Seamus Byrne takes a look at some extraordinary technologies that are just around the corner.
IN 1951, a man invented a fabric that never gets dirty and doesn't wear out. He should have been lauded but instead he was threatened and hounded by those who feared he was about to kill the clothing industry with his one suit that would last a lifetime.
The good news is that he was a work of fiction, played by Alec Guinness in the British Ealing Studios comedy The Man in the White Suit. But believe it or not, exactly such a fabric is not far away.
The modern version could result in a suit that can house computers, recharge batteries and even put on a light show.
It seems that many of our wildest speculations are becoming reality. Some are arriving later than expected, others sooner, but all are likely to reshape our lives.
What are some of the most important and remarkable technologies getting ready to change the world? Let's take a trip into the future.
The future: Your house is full of robots. Some look after the housework, others take care of maintenance. Most are utilitarian in appearance, although you can opt for a designer housing, or skin, if you have the money. Whatever the task, there is now a robot to help you get it done.
Huh? Robots of the future aren't quite going to be what we saw in The Jetsons. The idea of humanoid robots was nice for science fiction but task-specific bots are much more efficient. Instead, there will be embedded and free-roaming robots in the home. Examples that are already available include cleaners such as iRobot's Roomba ($599) and Electrolux's Trilobite ($2999) and Friendly Robotics' lawn-mowing Robomow (about $1400).
Joseph Engelberger, dubbed the "father of robotics" and now aged in his 80s, wants to see robots that help the elderly made a priority.
Companies including Toshiba have been working on "life support partner" robot projects since the start of the decade and several Australian universities are world leaders in robotics research.
Mind-controlled interfaces
The future: Gamers are sitting back, eyes flitting across the screen.
Little more than blinks and twitches indicate their involvement while on screen their avatars zoom about, acting on every thought.
Huh? With the help of a piece of headgear that reads electrical activity in the brain, you will be able to think left, right, up, down, shoot, jump, and you will do it in the game. Recent demonstrations showed early success in creating such an interface. One recent start-up, Emotiv Systems, has a bicycle helmet-style controller, Project Epoc, that monitors brain signals and converts thoughts into game movements. Honda Research has demonstrated mind-control technology for moving the fingers of a robot hand. Important applications of this technology will allow the severely disabled to use their minds to break through the barrier of physical impairment.
Personal networking
The future: When you meet someone new, shaking hands won't just be an exchange of pleasantries. You'll also share data directly through skin contact or wireless transfer. Your personal network will then share the information with your mobile devices.
Huh? Yes, your skin can transmit data - just like an electric shock, but without the zap. It's a nice trick that researchers are looking to put to good use. Japanese telecommunications giant NTT DoCoMo has achieved data rates of 10 megabits per second over skin. Devices including wristwatches and pens are also potential hubs for personal networking, with Hewlett-Packard demonstrating such concept designs in Sydney recently.
Smart buildings
The future: The walls really could have ears now. All glass and painted surfaces are doing a lot of extra work in the home and office, not least of which is reducing power needs. Windows automatically shade occupants as the need arises while generating power through invisible solar cells. Not only are robots living in the walls but the walls are doing their part, absorbing impurities from the air.
Huh? Big architecture is combining with small particles to achieve many things. The biggest is the possibility of smart systems embedded in glass-walled skyscrapers. SmartGlass International is already selling electronically controlled glass panels, with glass of varying opacity to control lighting, temperature and privacy. Solar cells can be embedded in window glass.
The Carvist Corporation is turning glass facades and roofs into solar energy systems capable of generating most, and perhaps all, of a building's power needs.
Smart paints are also ready to do their part for the environment. Not only can you buy kitchen and bathroom paints that prevent mildew, such as Perma-White (four litres for $78), you can cover a building in Ecopaint, from Millennium Chemicals, which absorbs smog-producing molecules, specifically nitrogen oxides.
Smart fabric
The future: Dry cleaning? That's for vintage. Now your jeans stay clean of their own accord. They're also more comfortable than ever, and waterproof - even bulletproof, if you like. If you're lost, just turn down the embedded music player and ask your jacket for directions. Oh, and then there's that invisibility cloak.
Huh? Already there are high-performance clothing lines with nanotechnology in the fibre. Nano-Tex fibre is being used in clothing and furnishing textiles to make them resistant to wrinkles, fading and stains with the capacity to cool or warm the wearer.
The list of fabric advancements is huge. LumiGram is a company making fibre-optic fabrics that radiate light. Tablecloths (from $571), tops ($325), cushions ($408) and bags ($211) are being made of this material. Sportswear makers are designing outfits to house your portable technology. Burton ski wear has teamed up with Motorola to create the Audex jacket ($899) with embedded Bluetooth systems for control of phones and iPods, with speakers and microphone. Even GPS is coming to such outfits soon. DuPont has launched tops containing Kevlar to protect against knife attacks.
Military applications of smart fabric will include embedded systems that monitor the whole body, diagnosing wounds and treating injuries. MIT has opened an Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies to develop suits with superhuman properties - flexible yet highly protective, with muscle-enhancing properties, light-refraction for near-invisibility and sensors for constant medical feedback.
Where's my flying car?
So much of the future is hard to predict, even the brightest minds can get it wrong.
"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, US Office of Patents, 1899
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
IBM chairman Thomas Watson, 1943
"Computers in the future may have only 1000 vacuum tubes and
perhaps weigh 1 1/2 tons."
Popular Mechanics, 1949
"640K ought to be enough for anybody."
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, 1981
"(By 2000), near space will be fitted with pharmaceutical
factories and penal stations."
Thomas Keneally, 1986
"Early in the next century, gym memberships may decline as the
weight- and waist-conscious no longer need treadmills to burn off
their favourite fast foods. All that will be required ... is to pop
a fat-destroying pill."
Wired magazine, 1996
The future of bio-technology
DON'T WORRY about that family history of heart disease, because gene therapy will soon clear all that up. Artificial limbs or an exo-kit will have you run, jump and lift like an Olympian.
Genetic research is already quite mature, although ethical debates will shape how it can be used. Will we get embryonic gene therapy or will genetic problems be treated only after birth? Best-case scenarios could include growing new organs from our own tissue and the arrival of vaccinations for cancer. The world's laboratories are tackling such areas as a matter of urgency, and one of the leaders is the gene therapy research unit at Westmead Children's Hospital, in Sydney.
Prosthetics already use amazing technology, with both realistic and high-performance options. Performance prosthetics, in particular, have a "cyborg" edge, offering users potential benefits over their original limbs. One Japanese company will next year offer an exoskeleton, the HAL-5 ($713 a month) for those who want to enhance their lifting capabilities.
The magic of nano
Arthur C. Clarke once said, "Any science or technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic". Molecular nanotechnology is the science that will bring us closest to this magical future.
We have mentioned some textile and architectural uses for nanotechnology but it is in the engineering of true machines and systems on a molecular scale that nanotechnology promises to change the world in amazing ways.
We could see Star Trek-style replicators, with nanobots that build whatever we want, including food, out of ambient atoms and molecules.
Our blood could be infused with machines that fight disease, heal wounds, and maintain a healthy level of fat in our systems.
Another possibility is a "utility fog", a cloud of networked nanobots running errands in the air around us, whether related to health or business.
While nanotechnology is still in the theoretical stages, it is close enough to prompt scrutiny of its ethical implications. Expect to be living in a very different world by 2050.

"419" Scam – sender domain swissmail.com:
There are many companies that provide free email services and most people use them for legitimate purposes. However, because there is no charge and hence no need for a verifiable billing address, bank account or credit card, these accounts are fairly anonymous. That and easy access from ubiquitous internet cafes means such accounts are often abused by criminals who send variants of the "419" scam. Most of these emails are sent from Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa and various cities in Europe with West African residents as well as various places in Asia. By reporting the scam accounts to the webmail providers you can usually get them closed.

Robert Newton Peck
Robert Newton Peck comes from generations of Yankee farmers. Like the Vermont folk he writes about in his novel, he was raised as a boy in the Shaker Way, which endured even after the sect itself had died out. Its view of life is embodied in the character of his young protagonist's father, who believed that a faith is more blessed when put to use than when put to word: "A man's worship counts for naught, unless his dog and cat are the better for it."

Jim Fojtik, 93, of Bay City went to be with the Lord and his loving wife, Ollie, on June 25, 2012. He was born in Jackson County, Texas, on February 26, 1919, to Frank and Bessie Fojtik.
Jim was an amazing man and his life speaks for itself. He was a faithful man: he was faithful to his family, to his church, to his neighbors, to his country. Jim cared for his wife until the day of her death.
He was a loving father. He loved spending time with his children and was always there when they needed him. His grandchildren were special to him. He was "Uncle Jimo" to many children not his own. He tended to the church, inside and out, with reverence.
Everyone who was blessed to know him loved and respected him. He was honest, kind, with a wonderful sense of humor, and always a gentleman.
Jim proudly served his country for 48 years, from 1938 to 1986. He joined the United States Army in January of 1938, and retired on January 31, 1960. During World War II, beginning in 1942, he served with the 9th Infantry Division campaigns in Casablanca, North Africa; Tunisia; Sicily; England; Normandy Beach, France, going ashore on Day 6 after D-Day; Belgium; and Germany. After the European Campaign he was stationed in Italy, then West Germany. In 1949 he returned to the states and was assigned to the 2nd Armored Division in Ft. Hood, Texas. From 1951 to retirement Jim's tours of duty took him and his family to Baumholder, Germany; Nancy Ordinance Depot, France; and Fort Bliss, Texas. In April 1960, Jim went to work for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers as a lock operator. He retired from the Corps on September 3, 1986.
After his retirement Jim kept busy with his "ranch," taking care of his cattle and garden. His second job during this time was to mow lawns, mostly for elderly folks.
Survivors include: his daughter, Helen and Bill Moran; sons, Lacy Fojtik and Kit Mok, and Michael and Leah Fojtik; grandchildren, James and Summer Moran, Meghann and Kevin Bass, Alexis Fojtik, Braeden Fojtik, and Landon Fojtik; grandchild, Daniel James Bass; sisters, Hattie and Dick Poole, Bessie Hutson, Agnes Fikes, and Mary Valka.

The dead body of Forest Fortenberry, a prominent farmer of near Blessing, was found early yesterday morning near Tide Haven.

Mr. Fortenberry had been to Blessing on horseback and left the latter place about 8 o'clock to return to his home near Tide Haven. The horse arrived at home without the bridle about 11 o'clock at night. Mrs. Fortenberry, fearing some accident had befallen him, sent a Mexican in search of her husband, but he returned later without finding him. At daylight she sent another who found the body near the crossing. It is supposed a passing train struck him, causing his death. Several dollars in silver, which he had in his pockets were scattered along the track.

He leaves a wife and three children and also three brothers, residing at Midfield, to-wit: Jim, a deputy under Sheriff Carr, Idle and Henry, together with a large number of friends and acquaintances in that and other sections of the country.

|Explore Pittsburgh at Work
Industry and manufacturing came to Pittsburgh partly by nature and partly by ingenuity. Geology provided the raw materials of coal, oil, limestone, and sand. Topography blessed the area with natural waterways for transport. But it took much more than this to make Pittsburgh an industrial center. It was the craftsmen and the entrepreneurs who used these resources to their fullest potential. These industrialists found the means to mass produce local coal into coke to fuel furnaces in iron and steel foundries, bringing about the timely introduction of new technology to economize production. They saw opportunities to feed a growing nation with processed foods, reengineered production to support the nation during times of war, and, most importantly, gathered together a massive workforce of local residents and immigrants to labor in the plants and mills.
In 1868, when historian James Parton wrote, "Pittsburgh is smoke, smoke, smoke -- everywhere smoke -- by night it was Hell with the lid taken off," he was witnessing only the surface of Pittsburgh's industrial legacy. The aggregation of mills, factories, mines, and railways in the region made Pittsburgh a city of smoke and grime. This, unfortunately, was a negative image that the city endured for at least another century. Air has since become cleaner, buildings have been scraped of their blackened facades, and smokestacks are now just novel attractions at the shopping complex where one of the world's largest producing steel mills had once stood. However, the real legacy of Pittsburgh's industrial past is its strong working class tradition and commitment to organized labor. The memory of our region's industrial workers remains a source of pride for a city that presently positions itself in an economy primarily based in service, technology, health care, and higher education.

Small hall, huge sound
Group hits 'acoustic jackpot' in former sanctuary
By TERRY MATHEWS, News-Telegram Arts Editor
Sept. 29, 2008- When Mark Miller, violinist and founding member of Mount Vernon Music, sat for an interview several weeks ago, he was quick to praise the acoustics in the former Central Christian Church the group calls home.
When he said "No matter where you sit in the building, the sound is great; we won the lottery with acoustics," he was absolutely correct.
At Sunday's Whitlock-Clinton Chamber Concert, the sound was crisp, clear and large enough to make the audience think an entire orchestra was playing the music of Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) and Antonin Dvorák (1841-1904), instead of just five perfectly synchronized musicians.
Miller and his wife Ute, who plays viola, were joined by pianist Joel Schoenhals of Michigan, violinist Kristin Jutrus of Georgia,and cellist Jolyon Pegis of Plano for the performance. They played to an appreciative audience of about 70 people.
�Can you believe that here in Mount Vernon, we have this group,� asked Betty Whitlock, one of the afternoon�s honorees. �What a treat.�
Ron Clinton, the afternoon's other honoree, Whitlock's husband and former head of the music department at Northeast Texas Community College, was also impressed with the performance.
�For 23 years, I�ve had to drive into Dallas to hear music of this quality,� Clinton said. �Now, I just have to come to Mount Vernon. It�s hard to believe that this group has come so far in three short years.�
Due to travel and performance scheduling conflicts, the five musicians had only four days to rehearse the ambitious program. They put their limited time to good use, playing almost as one and moving seamlessly from one number to the next.
The next program on the agenda for Mount Vernon Music is a "Country Fest Concert," on Saturday, Oct 11, at 7 p.m., featuring Debbie Ragsdale on flute and Laura Logan on harp.

In Reverend Sydney Smith's day, gentlemen as well as ladies enjoyed being asked to attend a sociable five-o'clock tea in the drawing room. Although many gentlemen took tea at their clubs, an invitation to an "At Home" was always welcome. Guests usually arrived in the drawing room between a quarter past four and half past five. These get-togethers gave one and all an opportunity to make new acquaintances and to renew old friendships. A butler or footman usually brought the tea caddy, teapot, kettle, and delicate teacups into the room, but it was the hostess who brewed the tea, graciously proffering the filled cups to guests herself or asking one of the gentlemen to assist. And among the array of "dainties" one could expect were paper-thin bread and butter tea sandwiches, a fanciful cake, and assorted tartlets.My good friend, Debbie, treated me to an enchanting High Tea on Tuesday. Except for a sweet waiter whose chattiness somewhat prolonged the arrival of each course, everything blended beautifully. We did, however, need to take our tea sandwiches and chocolate mousse home with us.
After arriving home, I allowed the display of tea leftovers to flirt with my daughter Briana's sensibilities, promising her that we would share these indulgences. There were no objections.
First I needed to run some errands, and while I was gone, I received a disturbing phone call. Briana alerted me that my 13-year old son, Bryce, had devoured the sandwiches during a refrigerator raid and that he had generously shared with his friends! Yes, I did teach my teenager to share...
Timing is everything, isn't it? Bryce can be very thankful that I was several miles away when I heard this news. I wasn't happy. Not only was I looking forward to this late afternoon snack, but I knew full well that not one of those boys had truly appreciated the quality of those dainties as they wolfed them down!
