I myself, use everything I can get my hands on, whether I have to pay for it
or not. How much I collect is only limited by my pocket book and available
time, which with our seven grown children and grandkids, can at times get
stretched, but that is a whole other story.
I collect notes, pictures...love pictures, my Grandmother's picture box was
wonderful. I use the LDS, the genealogy library, census records microfilm,
newspapers, etc. Ran upon a clue the other day, don't know if it will pan
out, but it was in a long forgotten note(I cleaned my files) that resembled
piles at that point.
Sometimes, I research all records on one surname in a given state during a
given period, until I find the one that fits into my families history. I
have found that most family stories have at least a element of truth in
them, it's just finding the element, and not taking it as gospel. That can
be real fun, to find that element of truth, boy can that put you on a high.
God bless.

DETROIT (AP) -- Lawyers for Detroit will attempt to convince a federal judge at the city's bankruptcy trial that its plans to wipe out billions of dollars in debt should be approved.
After some delays, the start of the trial Tuesday in U.S. District Court comes just over 13 months after Detroit became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy.
Detroit expects to cut $12 billion in unsecured debt to about $5 billion, which is "more manageable," according to Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Kevyn Orr.

Four compete for NZ Kiwis job
Four compete for NZ Kiwis job
The race for the NZ Kiwis head coach position is down to four, after applications closed last Friday.
NZ Rugby League received 14 enquiries from as far away as England for the role that became vacant when Stephen Kearney's contract ended after the Rugby League World Cup in December.
The field has been reduced to a short list of candidates, who will now be interviewed by the appointment panel over the next week, with a recommendation due with the NZRL board by mid February.
The Kiwis' first fixture this year will be the annual Anzac test on May 2.
Kearney has re-applied for his job, and faces competition from former national team-mates Richie Blackmore and David Kidwell, with Australian outsider Glenn Morrison, currently coaching in the English second division, rounding out the field.
The appointment process is running alongside a review of last year's World Cup campaign, where the Kiwis stumbled one hurdle short of defending their title, falling to arch-rivals Australia in the final.
"We need to be clear that this process is not an indictment on Stephen Kearney's performance as coach over the past six years," says NZRL chief executive Phil Holden. "He has helped raise this programme to a higher level than it was when he arrived.
"But we were obliged to advertise this role once his contract expired and saw it as an opportunity to see who else was in the marketplace.
"It's also an opportunity to scope out a succession plan – who can we begin developing as future Kiwis coaches?"
The six-man selection panel consists of Holden, three NZRL board members – chairman Scott Carter, former Kiwis player Iva Ropati and former Kiwis manager Ray Haffenden – NZRL high performance manager Tony Iro, and High Performance Sport NZ coaching consultant and world champion Black Sox softball coach Eddie Kohlhase.

Worthington forfeit for Hammers
West Ham will have to replay the Worthington Cup quarter final against Aston Villa after fielding an ineligible player in the match last Wednesday.
Emmanuel Omoyimni came on as a substitute in the final eight minutes of extra time at Upton Park.
But the Nigerian-born striker was cup-tied, having played for Gillingham in both legs of their second round tie with Bolton.
The Hammers went on to win on penalties after the match was drawn 2-2.
Villa lodged a protest about Omoyimni's appearance, which was upheld by the Football League on Saturday night.
The tie will now be replayed in the week commencing 10 January.
Villa relieved
Villa manager John Gregory welcomed his side's reprieve.
"We are pleased to have another crack after getting a double kick in the teeth in the first match - with the last-minute West Ham penalty and then losing the shoot-out," he said.
Villa skipper Gareth Southgate, who missed the crucial penalty at Upton Park, said: "I think the replay is the fairest outcome. We are delighted to get a reprieve."
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, West Ham manager, Harry Redknapp, said he thought the club had been harshly treated.
"I don't think the luck has gone with us," he said.
"It's gone completely against us - the luck has gone with Villa, surely.
"They got beat on the night and we're on the coach going home thinking they were out of the Worthington Cup. How could the luck be with us?"
Hammers skipper Steve Lomas, however, thought the Hammers could have no complaints over the decision to replay the tie.
"I thought we might just get a heavy fine but it was a mistake by the club and rules are rules.
"It could have been much worse - we could have been chucked out, though that would have been heartbreaking.
But we are very disappointed after all the hard work we put in. The players feel very aggrieved and the club should have checked a bit better.
"Manny should have said something but the club should have shown some responsibility. The club has to stand up and say sorry.
"We still fancy our chances of beating Villa again, though, and the boys will be up for it.

Nelly Furtado is engaged in an experimental one-off project with Timbaland to form a rock band.
Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's successful collaboration proved to be addictive that they decide to get on with the next project. Only this time, it will be a bit 'rocky'.
Furtado revealed in recent interview that she would work with Timbaland to form a rock band that is not exactly 'rock' but more into alternative and 'left field'. While the project is still dangling in the air, the two have argued over the band's name. "We keep arguing over names," Furtado said. "I want these really weird, subversive names, and (Timbaland) wants these mysterious, like, 'Lord of the Rings' kind of names. We can't decide."
On a more personal side, Furtado makes sure that Timbaland will be in her next music set again. She said, "Tim's been really enthusiastic about us working together again real soon." She continued that English wouldn't be her first option for the next album. "I really want to do a Spanish and Portuguese project - and I have no plan on when I'm gonna do that. There was talk of rushing something out early in the year, and it just didn't feel right. So I said, 'I don't want to rush this. Let's wait and do something in the future.'"

Derek, I saw Elizabeth on the Illinois Death Index. Do you have her Death Certificate?
I could not find it on the Family Search website and got to wondering, so I checked the Cook County Coroner's Inquest Record Index, 1872-1911 on the Illinois Secretary of State's website, and there was a Coroner's Inquest into her death.
You can order this record from the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD). IRAD does not accept email requests, so call or write:
Illinois Regional Archives Depository
Ronald Williams Library
Northeastern Illinois University
5500 N. St. Louis Avenue
Chicago, IL 60625-4699
Telephone: 773-442-4506
Be sure to include the following information in your request:
Name of deceased: SWAHLSTEDT, ELIZABETH
Volume: 59
Page: 216
Date filed: 4-27-1903
Date of death: 4-26-1903
There is a minimum $1.00 charge which, I believe, includes up to 5 photocopied pages. Most inquest records are 2 pages. Do not include payment with your request; they will bill you for the amount you owe. Also be sure to include a self-addressed postage paid envelope with your request. IRAD research can take anywhere from 2 to 10 weeks, if they are backlogged.
Good luck,

I am hoping someone can help me in my search for the burial of my great aunt ELIZABETH SWAHLSTEDT, who died on 26 April 1903, aged 59 years,
at 710 Racine Ave Chicago.
Any help in identifying where/when she was buried or pointing me in the diection of a likely burial place would be much appreciated.
I am also trying to find out what happened to her husband, JOHN A SWAHLSTEDT a tailor, after her death as I have not been able to find him on any subsequent census. On the 1900 census he is listed as SWALSTEDT A. J. born c1845 in Sweden.
Thanks in anticipation.

Poet Paulin 'banned from Harvard'
Poet Tom Paulin has been banned from Harvard after saying American Jews settling in the occupied territories were "Nazis" who should be "shot dead", according to reports.
Paulin, who grew up in Belfast, was due to give the prestigious Morris Gray poetry reading at the Boston university on Friday night, but the event was cancelled on Tuesday.
The university said it was "by mutual consent of the poet and the English department", the Guardian newspaper reported on Friday.
More than 100 students and members of staff protested at the poet's invitation because of his steadfastly anti-Israeli views, it reported.
Occupied territories
The protests were over an interview the poet recently conducted with Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram, where he repeated anti-Israeli views.
He reportedly told the paper that American Jews who settled in the occupied territories ""should be shot dead.
"I think they are Nazis, racists, I feel nothing but hatred for them."
The paper also quoted him as saying ""I never believed that Israel had the right to exist at all."
In a statement, the Harvard University said they had invited Paulin because of his poetic history, but had to rescind the invitation after his anti-Israeli comments.
Paulin, a member of Hertford College at Oxford, has been teaching at Columbia University in New York.
The university has been criticised by Paulin's Colleague, Columbia lecturer Jim Shapiro.
He said banning a speaker on account of his political views had set a "dangerous precedent".
Paulin, who won the Somerset Maugham prize in 1977 for his first collection of poetry, A State of Justice.
He is a regular on the BBC Two arts discussion programme Newsnight Review.

About MeWhat to say... hmmm.... Well lets see...
Brown haired, hazel eyed, plus size sweetheart that LOVES being in front of and behind the camera.
At 5' 10" you can bet your sweet ass that in a good pair of heels I will have you looking up to me in no time at all.
Always classy, never shy.
My chest is small and my ass is wide but I'm worth the effort every time.
If you are looking for a pretty face with empty space to spare, keep looking. (In my best Obi Wan voice) "This is not the model you are looking for." I'm all personality, all the time. If you hire Me, that's exactly what you get. Notice the use of the word "personality" versus the word "attitude", there is a big difference. ;)
I got on the scale the other day and it said 260...well, that wasn't going to work. A nice big black Sharpe fixed that in a jiff. When I get on it now, the little line sits between "Fabulous" and "Who cares".
****I'm not a newbie looking for fame so GWC's need not apply.****
I do this for a living, rarely for free. My rates are reasonable, just drop me a line.
Want to know more, you just have to ask... come on now, don't be shy. I am an open book and doll, cover to cover, this dame's always a good time!
PS... hate to have to add this but I feel I need to...
People, Compliments are welcomed and returned. Conversation is as well. Friendships are always a good thing. However, I am not here to "Hook up"... The ONLY photographer or model that I will ever sleep with (or not sleep as the case may be ;) ) is my husband. So please... do not make me look like a bitch or hurt your feeling. I am flattered, really... but be professional.
Also... a small word of advice, telling your model how much you enjoyed working with her is a great thing... letting on that you may be adding her port to your spank bank...not so good.. have some tact. If that is what you intend to do, keep it to yourself buddy... then you both win.. she will be happy to work with you again AND you get a nice thick Pron folder on your hard drive. Hehe

text: So, it occurred to me today that I like pink more than blue. It's more fun. My plan for a while has been to buy a quartet of BB OCBDs when funds allow (funds aren't that permissive, so this could be a long time coming). I don't regularly wear any clothes I wouldn't wear with an OCBD. Right now, my shirts are mostly a hodgepodge of thrifted stuff in patterns -- checks and stripes, with a few white solids. I get a lot of wear out of my two blue OCBDs, and so I was leaning towards getting two more of those, one pink, and an ecru. What if I just got four pink ones, though? My Uniqlo pink OCBD is pretty cool, but I'm not happy with the fit or the collar. The thing is, I think pink would stand out more than blue. It would be more noticeable, more like dressing like a cartoon character. Is that a bad thing? I don't mean every day, of course, but perhaps three or four times a week. Pink looks good on me. Is it too much of a deviation from blue to have the same wearability? Any thoughts on the specific merits (or demerits) of pink OCBDs instead of blue, or on the wisdom of having a signature item? I guess I already have a sort of signature appearance, since nobody else who runs in the same circles as I do wears coat and tie with any regularity.

The headline-grabbing stock market indexes - the Dow Jones industrials, Standard & Poor's 500, and Nasdaq composite - may be cruising at record highs, but the truth is many stocks have not kept up. In fact, a big number of stocks are below the highs made in...the 1997 and 1998 bull market.
[This has been picked up before, with an emphasis on the splitting of stocks into have's and have-not's, just like the economy at large. See Syre and Stein's "Taking measure of the great divide - Chasm between stock values of tech, traditional firms could not be wider" on our Collapse Trends pages under date 4/13.]
"The overall market has been in a bear market since April 1998...," said Don Hays, chief investment strategist for Wheat First Union in Richmond, Va.... "With only four technology stocks making up 25% of the weighting of the Nasdaq and the media only concentrating on the indices, the 'Stealth Bear Market' is being ignored," he said. "What do you think the headlines would be saying if the major indices were 19.7% under the mid-April 1998 highs [like the average stock in the 7,736-stock database of Ned Davis Research in Venice, Fla.]?" he asked.
[Such an easy slide from "stealth bear market" to "stealth depression", if 1929 be any guide.]
The experts backed up their words with some strong stuff.... Richard McCabe, chief market analyst for Merrill Lynch, found that 23.6% of the New York Stock Exchange's common stocks and 22.7% of the Nasdaq market's stocks are below their summer-fall 1998 lows..\..
[So nearly a quarter of the NYSE & Nasdaq are below the disastrous levels they fell to during the Asian currency crisis?!]
It's a smoke-and-mirrors market.... "The uptrend in the major market indices is misleading because it does not represent what the majority of stocks have been doing," he said. People have been buying the big-name stocks, such as technology and consumer growth companies, in the hopes that the sectors would stand up to the downward pressures on earnings from the economic problems in Asia and Latin America as well as the slowdown in Europe. "Investors went for the rapid and proven growth companies and ignored the medium and small stocks, which have been underperforming for more than a year," McCabe said.
[Investors or speculators??]
"It's created a new breed of 'Nifty Fifty' - the group of stocks that did well in the early 1970s when the rest of the market was having trouble," he said. The nifty Fifty stocks eventually went through a nasty period and they joined the bear market that had been dogging the other stocks since the late '60s....
A good, steady, and healthy market is usually one where the vast array of stocks are doing well. But, when it's a narrow advancing market, the risk is the majority of weak stocks will ultimately bring down the minority of strong stocks."
[...which is exactly what happened in the 1970s. Shades of "bad money driving out good".]
Some investors may be reacting to the warning signs. The emotional intensity of the bulls has tapered off over the past few weeks. The proof: The rallies have not generated a lot of new buying interest. Also, mutual fund investors have reduced their stock holdings at the fastest pace since December 1987. Downsizing stock portfolios began this summer. In July, investors redeemed shares from mutual fund companies at an annual rate of more than 20%, according to the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based mutual fund lobbying group.
[Side issue: why in the world do people who make money on an up or down market need a lobbying group?!]
"A reasonable case can be made that what has been occurring simultaneously over the last 16 months is a bull market in a minority of large-cap issues and a bear market in a majority of mid- to small-caps," McCabe said. "There is little doubt, even in those partying 'tunnel vision' minds, that this bull market is being carried by a small pocket of stocks - mostly big-cap technology stocks," Hays said.
The good times have been rolling for the tech sector, which includes IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco, among others. In fact, the technology sector have jumped 32% so far this year, after soaring 72% in 1998. And, while the overall market was off 1% in August, the tech sector climbed nearly 6%, which explains why the market appears to be in a bull mode.
[The "currency base" angle - ]
During the days of the Nifty Fifty [in the 1970s], investors concentrated on a select group of stocks with extraordinarily high price-earnings [P/E] ratios of 40 to 80. How different are things from the 1970s? Cisco sells at 70 times projected earnings and Microsoft is at 60 times future earnings. Hays said tech stocks now make up a huge 24% of the Standard & Poor's market capitalization, up from 13% in 1997, [7%] in 1990 [and what % in the 1970s?]. Technology stocks, particularly the Internet group, are in a new era.... For that reason, Wall Street has no idea where the P/E limits should be for many [or any?] of them. After all, the limits of a stock's P/E are largely decided by investors' expectations of earnings growth and risk. For Internet stocks, the sky seems to be the limit.
"We believe the next two months will be very chaotic and take those perpetual grins off those who think the bull market is still alive," Hays said. McCabe said the market sell-off could take place in October [as in 1929 and 1987]. He sees a correction in the Dow of 10-15%.
[No big deal. But we'll have to look up the % "correction" in 1929....
[This all brings up the old problem of the currency base. Granted all depends of agreement, what anchored the value of the currency once we went off the gold standard? Granted all is psychology, what's now anchoring the value of stocks now that we're going off the P/E standard? More generally, what anchors the value of stored wealth when whatever currency we're using needs the constant reconfirmation of its value that only circulation and exchange can provide? More simply, what anchors the value of unshared money when only sharing makes it valuable? As La Fontaine put it, in L'Avare Qui A Perdu son Trésor (The Miser Who Lost his Treasure), "l'usage seulement fait la possession" (only usage makes for real possession), or as Darwin might have said, about vestigial limbs etc., "Use it or lose it." We guess this is the truth underlying the "marginal utility of wealth" and "the more concentration, the less circulation" - and the less real value?
[We are still in a primitive stage of economics where sharing is thought of either as charity, when private individuals or firms do it, or redistribution (i..e., forced charity) when government does it. All more advanced stages of economics require an alternative to charity and redistribution. The logical candidate is reinvestment. But what is required is reinvestment that is automatic, high-frequency (weekly or daily), and, compared to anything we're familiar with today, GARGANTUAN. This is the approach that Timesizing, with DAR (direct automatic reinvestment) takes. It is the first of the next-generation of economic designs, and the only one as yet, so far as we know.]
[Standard economists get get wake-up call from students.]
9/18 Students seek some reality amid the math of economics, Michael Weinstein, NYT, A17.
On my first day as a graduate student in economics at MIT, the professor introduced the discipline by intoning, "All of economics is a subset of the theory of separating hyperplanes."...I started to giggle. But...everyone else was scribbling notes. So I...muttered, only to myself, that I had thought economics was about the plight of people living in sub-Saharan Africa or the impact of technological change on living standards....
Decades later, I find economics graduate students asking themselves the same question: where is the economic substance in graduate economics programs?
I recently joined several dozen first- and second-year students at a conference in Airlie, Va., that was convened to help them find their way toward applied economics - analyzing problems that real people face. During the weeklong conference, organized by the Social Science Research Council and paid for by the...McArthur Foundation, eminent scholars presented lectures on applied topics ranging from the plight of low-income mothers under the 1996 welfare law to the long-term determinants of innovation.
[So, basically, if it's about "plight," it's "all right."]
To noneconomists, these lectures would no doubt appear heavily theoretical, laced with mathematical and statistical derivations. ...Since the writings of Paul Samuelson...in the 1940's, economists have used large doses of mathematics to create insight and clarity....
[Or was it to harden up their soft science? Or give themselves the illusion of "hard science"? At any rate, it turned out to be useful as an intimidation device, and it's wound up, as this article implies, being a wonderful mask for the fact that most standard economists are making maximum investments (of research and publication time) at points of minimum relevance to human progress.]
Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton...a former member of Pres. Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers and a driving force behind the council's efforts to promote applied economics...is unwavering when he criticizes [economics] training as "increasingly aloof and self-referential."
[We'd put this down to a couple of important themes in economics that have lost important battles in the last century, but not the war:

One of the more innovative devices we saw at IFA 2012 was the Asus Taichi, a laptop/tablet hybrid featuring a double-sided screen. We had a quick play and saw the Taichi in action, along with the new Asus Vivo Windows 8 tablets and some other cool new tablet devices.
Asus Taichi
The Taichi is a standard Windows 8 laptop at first glance, but turn it around and you'll find another screen on the back of the lid. This secondary display is a touchscreen and supports stylus input, so the Taichi can be used as a tablet when the lid is closed.
Our friendly demonstrator fired up some software called SimpleShow to give us an idea of how else that second screen can be used. While you're sat behind the keyboard, you can either put out the same image to the other screen so people sat in front of you can see what you're doing – useful for presentations. You can also throw photos or videos to the other screen while you get on with other stuff.
We had only a brief play, and the full specs are yet to be confirmed, but the Taichi looks like a formidable little device, packing a powerful Intel Core processor into a surprisingly slender frame. Release date and pricing to be announced soon, but Asus is expecting a Q1 2013 launch.
Asus Transformer Book
The last bit of Asus tablet tech we saw was the Transformer Book, an incredibly powerful dockable tablet that follows on from the likes of the Transformer Prime. Packing an Intel Core i7 processor, this is one of the beefiest tablets we've seen and is sure to handle your Windows 8 apps and games with ease.
A switch on the dock locks the Transformer Book in place, giving you full freedom to type away on the sizeable board while also using the touch-screen. Simply flick the switch and the tablet lifts free. The demo model we saw wasn't the finished product, but the final version will come in three sizes: 11.6, 13 and 14-inches, all rocking Full HD resolution for crisp graphics.
If you want a larger-than-norm tablet with some serious horsepower, the Transformer Book is one to keep an eye on. Expect a release in Q1 2013.

Before Wednesday night's matchup between BYU and San Diego State in Provo, Utah, several BYU students had tried to call on fellow classmates to dress like missionaries while in attendance, according to a story written by the Deseret News' Jeff Call, via the Mormon Times.
The plan was a retaliation of sorts stemming from BYU's trip to San Diego State on Jan. 23 when many SDSU fans dressed up in missionary clothing in an attempt to mock the Cougars' religious beliefs.
On top of that, one fan had a sign directed at BYU's Jimmer Fredette which asked "Which wife gave you mono?" in reference to Fredette's bout with mononucleosis early in the season.
As Call reports, only a few BYU students took part in the "retaliation," but one fan brought a sign that summed up the silliness of San Diego State's original taunts.
"Aztec ancestors wrote the Book of Mormon," it read.
Well played.

When Motorola's new Moto X smartphone ships this Friday, AT&T customers will be able to not only purchase a white or black version, but will have the opportunity to design their own phones online. In order to demonstrate how well its new Moto Maker service will work, Motorola allowed a number of journalists to try out the service in beta mode. I designed a phone last Thursday, and received the results this afternoon.
But while it's a nice idea to allow buyers to design their own phones -- and while I still think that the Moto X may be one of the better, if not the best, consumer phones out there right now -- the process still has a couple of kinks to be ironed out.
To begin with, as our own JR Raphael has reported, the custom engraving that was supposed to be included with each phone has been put on hold, because the quality of the printing wasn't up to standard.
In addition, buyers should be aware that judging the colors of a phone online is something like judging the color of clothing online -- what you see may not be exactly what you get. This isn't necessarily the fault of Motorola (or of the clothing manufacturer, for that matter) -- unless you've done some fairly precise color matching on your display, subtle differences can always pop up.
In my case, I had ordered a "Royal Blue" back with a black front and a "Metallic Blue" accent. On my screen, the accent looked as if it set off the black nicely; in reality, however, the accent is actually hard to see (and the two shades actually clash slightly). Even allowing for the differences in lighting, if this were an actual purchase, I'd be disappointed, to say the least.
Of course, if this were a real purchase, I would have 14 days in which to return the phone (post paid) and try out a better color combination. It would mean an extra few days before I'd have my "perfect" phone, of course, but presumably, I'd end up with something a bit more to my taste.
In fact, this got me thinking: In about six months or so, how many phones will be returned for stylistic reasons -- because the colors didn't look as good as they did on the screen, because somebody changed their mind, or because a couple who had each other's names inscribed on their phones broke up in the meantime?
And another question: How soon will it be before there are a bunch of refurbished Moto X phones, with weird color combinations, available for sale?

REDLANDS >> Get ready to shake your tail feathers.
The Broadway musical version of John Waters' 1988 cult classic film "Hairspray" will be the 2014 summer musical at the Redlands Bowl, the Redlands Community Music Association announced Tuesday.
The musical, which opened on Broadway in 2002, won the Tony Triple Crown in 2003, receiving the awards for best musical, best score and best book. It has run more than 2,500 performances on Broadway. Music is by Marc Shaiman, the lyrics are by Scott Wittman and Shaiman, and the book is by Mark O'Donnell and Thomas Meehan.
Set in 1962 Baltimore, the story offers social commentary on race-based injustices of the area while maintaining a playful tone that makes the audience want to rise up, shake a fist and dance.
"We're excited. We love that it's got that cross-generational appeal. It appeals to young people," said RCMA's interim program director Robin Cochran. "We looked at a number of contenders, and of course "Hairspray" was critically acclaimed. Some (of the musicals we considered) had been performed at the Bowl before, and we just felt like this would be a little bit different."
Cochran said based on the line-up from recent years, "Hairspray" is a good fit for what comes next.
"It was a challenge to think what do you do to follow 'Sound of Music,'" she said. "We thought it would be a really good balance for our cycle."
Several Redlanders had suggested "Redlands, My Redlands," the musical custom-written by Jim Skousen and Ali Rafter chronicling the city's history in celebration of the 125th anniversary this year, should have been the summer musical at the Bowl, but it was not formally presented to the RCMA or considered.
Paul Jacques pitched doing "Hairspray," and the RCMA was eager to support his bringing the show to Redlands, Cochran said.
Paul Jacques returns to the Prosellis as the summer musical director and producer, having staged "Oliver!" in 2012 and "The Music Man" in 2010.
He is an award-winning writer, actor, fight choreographer, scenic designer, producer and director with more than 200 stage, film, radio, television and commercial credits.
"We are so fortunate to have talented directors here in the Inland Empire," Cochran said.
Wayne Scott of LifeHouse Theater in Redlands directed "Sound of Music," "Cinderella" and "The Wizard of Oz" in recent years. He and Jacques seem to be alternating director duties for the summer musicals, which Cochran says is not by design.
"It sort have worked out that way in recent years, but it wasn't our intent."
She says the RCMA welcomes and encourages all directors and producers to come to the board with show proposals.
Jacques said in a news release that the issues addressed in "Hairspray" are "very current" and that he is "excited to be able to bring the conversation to Redlands."
Cochran agrees.
"We think people will really enjoy the Redlands Bowl interpretation of 'Hairspray,' " she said. "It's a fun, over-the-top parody, poking a little fun at some of the '60s issues. It's fun, but it brings a really good message for tolerance and acceptance too. It's important to us to present a musical that has value in that way."
The team rounds out with assistant director Rick Hoglund, choreographer Hollee Cool, and production and stage manager Cheryl Starr.
Auditions will be announced in spring.
Come summer, pack a picnic and prepare to call out, "Good morning, Baltimore!"

Birds That Change Colour play their dark but playful psychfolk in the early night, and in the late night you heard uncut instrumental funk by The Jig in the RODE ZAAL. While browsing the exhibition and hunting for A5 sized jewels for your collection, you were treated to live music by one-man blues show Tiny Legs Tim, the honestly sweet singing by Barbara Breedijk, the one-woman multi-instrument show BomberLéo, and during the late night evening programme AntFunk & MikeyNice DJ set in the EXPO ZAAL, closed by DaDa Sessions with their new and exciting voice based danceable music! You could also draw or paint performing musicians together with visual artists Christa Logman, Sjanie Bon, and Marry van Heemskerk, and, of course, you simply listened and enjoyed the music of Maya & Adrian, Danalyze, and bossa-nova singer Jozefien Vingerling with Stefano Bocconi!
PLEXIGLASS ACT & Start collecting your drawings
At 22:00 hours you started to collect all your drawings! From that moment you encountered the "PLEXIGLASS ACT" that travelled from area to area, a participatory installation by interactive collective Losse Schroeven from Utrecht, assisted by various artists from the Paintshop!
There was so much to do! We made newsletters with FairPen in the programme that we're supporting. Drawing upside down with or without skills with your left hand (or something else superpossible) with Lieven Seegers. Many took the Love Story Theatre with Marcia van Oers, a hidden gem with doodle speed dating, free & fashionable clothing, styling, a photoshoot and more in the route upstairs in the RODE ZAAL! Beautiful drip painted butterflies and other objects made with special techniques by Riette Wanders. Frederike Top presented the Light and Shadow Show in which you played the protagonist. You signed the Doodle Guestbook ("Teken" het Gastenboek) in the WITTE ZAAL lounge area, and many started the photo exhibition of Pauline Beugnies with mural art by Ammar Abo Bakr.
A growing project that evolved over the night, including the backwards drawings of Lieven Seegers, but with the heartbeat centered in the TUINZAAL (again with the exhibition "Revolution of the Youth"). we're hosting a party with more music The Secret Love Parade DJ and Irene van der Vleuten, while drawing, painting, cutting, stencilling all sorts of objects (fussball!) with Jimmy Miller, Gabrielle Gordeau and Sjem Bakkus. And the big mural art piece now standing tall in the entrance area of De Brakke Grond by the same artists and Pieter Frank de Jong, Ottograph (Ipainteveryday), Mat Teizer, Michel Willemsen, Emiel Aalmoes and Niko Stumpo.. One piece was made in the workshop in advance, the beautiful backdrop by Gail Anne Howard, backing the bands in the Rode Zaal!
...a creative platform to collect and sell A5 drawings from and to everybody who loves to support the good cause and who appreciates a unique, interactive stage for artistic talents*!

I have a while to plan (I only just got engaged, and plan on having the celebration in a year or two), but I wanted to start gathering ideas for my wedding. I am looking for a place that offers good cakes, preferably ones that can be non-dairy. I'm quite a foodie, but I'm also extremely lactose intolerant. Any ideas?
Also, I am looking for a good caterer for the event. They do not have to be vegan, but I would like them to have decent vegan options since I know that some of my guests will prefer that. I'm thinking that if we can have good chicken, fish, and vegetarian options that it will be best.
Currently I live in Manhattan, but I will be having the event in Southeast MA (Dartmouth area) or RI because that is where most of both our families and friends live.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! :-)
Thank you in advance.

I'm sure a few people here are aware on the NSA's CNSS/NSTISSI certifications. I must admit it is somewhat confusing. What is your opinion on them, and does the individual obtain a certification when a degree is earned from the certified university or does the certification simply belong to the university. Also, what is the difference between a 4011 (Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professional) and a 4014 (Information Systems Security Officer)

Will Wright Talks New SimCity – Discusses City Size Limit
SimCity has released this week alongside both criticism and praise, but Will Wright – the man who created the SimCity series – has had access to the game early.
We asked Will what he thought of the new SimCity, and he had a lot to say – he even discussed the much-criticised 2K by 2K city size limits.
"I like it a lot," Will tells us. "It's interesting, in some sense it reminds me of the post-economic crash. It's not about making your city big, it's about making them not poor."
Will had a lot of praise for the new Agent system as part of the GlassBox Engine, too: "I think they did a good job of balancing all the interrelated factors. At first it felt a little claustrophobic, you know with the size of the land, but after playing for a while I think it really makes a lot of sense."
But SimCity's city size limits isn't such a problem, claims Will Wright, "because really it makes you focus more on interrelations of those factors, so you could make a city four times bigger but you'd be dealing with the exact same variables.
"So by kind of focusing it in it feels more personal, and so I really do want to zoom down and get a sense of what it feels like on the street. I think the visuals are just amazing, I love the tilt-shift focal lens."
Will especially had a lot of praise for SimCity's art direction, really complimenting the 'feel' of the game.
"Visually it's great. It was my old art director actually that was lead designer, and he had a very definite vision about the way that it would feel. But yeah, I'm enjoying it quite a bit."
So there you have it: the original creator of SimCity is a huge fan of Maxis' reboot.
Will Wright spoke to us as part of an interview looking at the legendary developer, his past games, his future games and even offered his insight into the industry. The rest of this interview will go live next week.

Jerry Jones Not Pleased With Cowboys' 5-5 Start
The Dallas Cowboys go into their bye week at 5-5, and owner Jerry Jones is not pleased.
In a recent radio interview,he said the 5-5 start is unacceptable, but as now there will no coaching changes. "We have been in a couple close games against Kansas City, Detroit and Denver," Jones said. "We can't use the Saints game as a reason for change."
Bill Callahan and Monte Kiffin will remain the offensive and defensive coordinators,while Jason Garrett for now is still the head coach.
What do you think needs to change with the Cowboys?

I just wanted to comment that I think it is pretty crappy that Windows Fax

it says in help). I have been trying to get my scanner to work in Fan and

defacto standard and 90% of todays scanners is TWAIN compliant.

Carlos Parra Rubio
Carlos Parra Rubio, 30, the fifth of 11 children, is a native of Mexico. As a young boy he already felt the call to serve as a priest, he says. He came to the United States with his brothers when he was 15. And he was part of the first group that established the Spanish Mass at the Catholic diocesan church in Franklin, N.C., composed of 200 English-speaking and 500 Spanish-speaking parishioners.
"Glenmary had just returned our church to the diocese after leading it for a long time, so I knew about Glenmary," Carlos says.
"I was a youth minister, Hispanic minister and sacristan and later a translator of homilies—and I became more sure I wanted to be a priest." He even attended a Hispanic laity training program to prepare himself as a leader. After he became fluent in English, he was also able to serve as a bridge between the two language communities within his parish. In the meantime, he earned his GED certificate.
When Carlos was 22, a Hispanic deacon from North Carolina introduced him to Father Steve Pawelk, Glenmary's former vocation director, at a Eucharistic Congress. The deacon knew about Carlos' vocation hopes and about Glenmary. Carlos and Father Steve talked, Carlos became more interested in Glenmary, and he soon began a three-year process of discernment with Glenmary.
As an aspirant with Glenmary, Carlos is living in Mexico, where he has been studying philosophy at San Juan de los Lagos Seminary. The year 2013 is a pastoral year for Carlos in direct service to his parish community while he waits for approval of his student visa, which will allow him to travel to the United States and study English as a Second Language (ESL) at Divine Word College beginning in January 2014. He would then continue on with his Glenmary priestly formation—including theology studies and the Glenmary novitiate program—leading to ordination as a Glenmary priest.
His main activity during the 2013 pastoral year has been organizing youth group activities in his parish, which includes regularly hosting retreats for youth in the outlying areas of the parish. His parish also has some small mission outposts that Carlos visits when the pastor is not able. Carlos celebrates Word and Communion services for the faithful on those weekends. In addition, he holds a number of formation classes for the many religious education teachers in the parish.
The formator of the seminary told Father Steve he was very grateful to have Carlos there because he brings such leadership and maturity to the group. He previously gained experience by serving a nearby Catholic community in many ministries—home visits, religious education, development of a choir and development of lay leadership. In addition, he previously worked at another parish in Mexico during the summer of 2010.
Carlos says that "Glenmary really appeals to me because I've already been doing mission work—and because Glenmary priests work with small mission communities and with immigrants and Hispanics. I already have many of the skills and much of the experience I'll probably need when I'm a pastor, like being the bridge between English and Spanish speakers."

Both candidates have consistently supported the rights of persons with disabilities throughout their careers. They have demonstrated this commitment not just with words, but with their actions. As Attorney General of Massachusetts, Scott Harshbarger: * Founded the Disability Rights Project within his Civil Rights Division * Achieved a major settlement with MCI requiring substantial improvements in the operations of the Massachusetts Relay Service * Obtained a sweeping nationwide settlement against almost 1700 Wendy's restaurants to remedy architectural inaccessibility as part of first ever state-federal disability rights Task Force; and * Successfully defended the right of people with disabilities such as AIDS, psychiatric and/or developmental disabilities, to live in the community of their choice. As a member of the Massachusetts State Senate, Warren Tolman: * Was the chief sponsor of the recently passed Home Modification legislation, * Was a sponsor of the Braille Literacy Bill, and * Has been a strong and consistent supporter of DMR, supporting funds for the Turning 22 program, seeking salary increases for direct care workers, and fighting for reduced waiting lists. As we enter the next millennium, we must make sure that all citizens are able to participate equally in our society. We need political leaders who understand that all people regardless of ability or disability deserve their civil rights and the services they need to live independent and productive lives. I am certain that Scott Harshbarger and Warren Tolman are two such leaders. Through the years, both of these candidates have demonstrated unwavering commitment to supporting our issues and us. Now it is time for us to support them. Massachusetts Voters with Disabilities are pleased to endorse this great team.

Often, a person addicted and their family can come to view the problem as "the addiction". The addiction almost appears to be a separate entity, quite apart from the individual themselves. In actual fact this viewpoint is somewhat well founded. A person addicted does crazy things sometimes and behaves in ways the person would previously never behave like.
The family members of those afflicted with addiction also recognize that on occasion they "see" or experience the person they used to know and love. This is obviously due to the fact that the individual themselves haven't actually changed with regards to their basic nature.
Addiction and the problems it brings
Millions of really good and honest people will do very extreme and horrible things as a part of the blindness brought on by addiction but underneath it all is the good individual who is also forced the watch themselves rip apart the life around them. This is one of the tortures inflicted on the addicted which goes unmentioned in most conversation about the person and their problem.
As the person watches themselves break trust, betray family and friends and degrade themselves and others around them they are occasionally horrified at what they have become and don't understand how they got this way let alone perceive any real possibility of reversing the devastation thus far created.
As usual with addiction, this too becomes a solidly binding reason to continue with drug or alcohol abuse as those substances are the only method to date the individual has to cope with what they perceive themselves to have become. The truth is a person can, in the vast majority of cases, unwind the clock so to speak and get back their integrity and pride, their confidence and self esteem as well as their decision making skills and productivity.
Getting help with addiction
With the proper assistance the person can once again achieve happiness, not only for themselves but for those precious few in their life they have abused or neglected in the past. It does, however, take work and the exact right kind of work.
There is no band aid fix or prescription that will magically fix these aspects of addiction. The work is worth it and the life saved definitely warrants the research and logistics of locating and gaining admission to addiction treatment programs that truly help the person rebuild their life.

"Shot Caller" Producer Explains Lord of the Underground Sample
Lords of the Underground's member DoItAll recently told HipHopDX.com that he wants French Montana and longtime producer Harry Fraud to pay publishing fees for his track "Shot Caller" for sampling the L.O.T.U. hit record "Funky Child." But Fraud, who created the hit song, says that while Lords of the Underground was the inspiration behind the beat, he did his homework, eventually finding and sampling the original horns from the Thomas Bell Orchestra track "A Theme For L.A. Team."
"Well, it's crazy, I saw something where people think we took this, or took that, but really, the Lords of the Underground was really the inspiration," Fraud, who grew up listening to N.W.A., Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Wu-Tang clan and Ice Cube, explained. "Obviously ['Funky Child,'] that's a great song that everybody loved. 'Chief Rocka' too. That was their two biggest songs. I researched where they got [the horns] from and flipped it. I took the spirit of that old school record and updated it with our feel and bounce to it.
"The record was always dope, but if you go back and listen to ['Funky Child], they wasn't really rapping over the part we're rapping over," he continued. "They were rapping over the James Brown break [from 'My Thang']. The horns were really their intro and break. We're a little darker than them in general. We took it and did it our way. It's been a great response."
Check out "A Theme for L.A.'s Team" below as well as "Funky Child":
Fraud, who's worked with Fat Joe and Nore in the past as well, says he only paid homage to the Lords with "Shot Caller" and hopes a younger generation of fans actually becomes familiar with their "Funky Child" hit.
"A lot of kids don't know 'Funky Child' by Lords of the Underground," the Brooklyn, New York, native said. "So by listening to French they may go and do their research and find other great music."
In the meantime, Fraud, who started working with French in late 2008 and has recorded "hundreds of songs" with him, is still banging out tracks for Frenchy's major label debut, Excuse My French, and recently wrapped up production on Wiz Khalifa and The Taylor Gang's upcoming Taylor Alderdice mixtape. In addition, Fraud says he is slated to go in the studio with Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group's Wale, Meek Mill and Stalley in the very near future.
"My sound, I would say I have an eclectic palate in terms of my musical choices," Fraud added. "But moving, emotional music is what I strive to make. Whether it's positive, negative, I'm trying to give you a feeling." —Shaheem Reid @ShaheemReid

Very encouraging - so now I am excited again!
I am going to attempt to convert the VMWARE files to Virtual Iron - a
Virtualisation Platform, in my opinion, equally as functional as
VMWare, but simpler to use, and of course - a lot more cost effective.
I have no idea if the migration will work - but I will try it - and
feed back to everyone on this list.
The 'interesting' thing about Virtual Iron, is that it does not have
any concept of 'Virtual Switch' but instead, just VLAN groups. We run
Layer 3 switches, which handle all the VLAN stuff - so if we can get
MonoWall working with Virtual Iron, perhaps this might end up being a
very simple / effective means to double protect virtualisation
platforms, who are already placed behind primary firewalls on the edge.
Lets roll!!

eBay quarterly earnings see PayPal exploding
There's no denying that eBay has been a force to be reckoned with in the online auction space here on the web for quite a few years - and today's earnings report supports that claim with a fury. That fury, on the other hand, is really based quite a bit on the power of PayPal, the online payment system acquired by eBay when it was clear that they were made for one another. As eBay grows, so too does PayPal - but the overall growth of the two looks just a bit sheepish compared to the growth of just PayPal alone.

Money, Sound and Unsound

Publisher: Ludwig von Mises Institute 2010
Number of pages: 644
Ludwig von Mises said that there can never be too much of a good theory. Salerno proves it in this sweeping and nearly comprehensive book on applied Austrian monetary theory. He uses the Mises/Rothbard theory of money to reinterpret historical episodes, reevaluate the history of thought, closely examine the Federal Reserve policy, seek out cause and effect in business cycles, provide a new understanding of war and social unrest, and clarify the relationship between the state and the central bank.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Wed, Oct 19, 2011
Reporter: Sasha Khokha
The fall harvest is under way in the Central Valley, and this year, a new crop is setting records. Marijuana is transforming the state's most productive farm belt.
But federal authorities are stepping in. The California Report's Central Valley Bureau chief Sasha Khokha has the story.
Sasha Khokha: The best way to get a sense of the scope of the marijuana farms is from the air. Neat rows of orange and almond orchards form geometric patterns as the Fresno Sheriffs Department helicopter climbs into the air.
Lieutenant Rick Ko points to a bright green patch in the middle of a dense citrus grove, where hundreds of marijuana plants the size of trees have replaced oranges:
Lieutenant Rick Ko: Ok, and we're coming up. You see the black plastic next to this orange grove? You can still see how big these plants are right here. They're well above that six foot fence.
Khokha: There are no doors on the helicopter, and the pungent odor of marijuana wafts up as we hover 500 feet in the air.
Lt. Ko: You can smell it from up here. Can you smell it, Sasha?
Khokha: Large plots of marijuana have cropped up all over the valley floor in the last two years. Lieutenant Ko's team used to find carefully concealed grows deep in the national forests. Now, growers emboldened by California's medical marijuana laws are planting openly on farmland.
Lt. Ko: When we fly over these valley groves, people sit and stare at us, or wave at us, they pretty much ignore us now because of the current state of California state law.
Khokha: It's been hard for Ko's team to raid these farms, because people cultivating the plants claim they're used for medical marijuana. Growers often tack recommendations from doctors on fence posts so they're visible from the air.
But marijuana of any kind is illegal under federal law, and the feds say pot grown in California is sold out of state on the black market.U.S. authorities are raiding California corn fields and vineyards here, yanking marijuana plants.
They've started sending letters to landowners, threatening to seize their farmland if they don't evict pot growers. U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner announced the strategy recently.
U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner: We want landowners, potential investors, and others who are tempted by the money in the marijuana industry to understand that these businesses are illegal, and that the risk of federal prosecution and forfeiture is real.
Khokha: The feds are already trying to seize land from one family that leased farmland to marijuana growers near Fresno. Law enforcement agents destroyed 25,000 plants on one of their properties.
Attorney Don Fishbach represents the land owners. He says they are innocent.
Don Fishbach: Our clients did not grow it, they don't sell it, they do not use it. Here, they thought that medicinal marijuana was legal and people had permits; so it was ok for their tenants to grow it.
Khokha: I talked to several landowners who rent to medical marijuana growers, but they said they were afraid to be recorded. They all said they didn't make any more profits renting to marijuana growers than they did renting to vegetable farmers.
The new federal strategy is also sending a chill across the valley among medical marijuana patients -- who say not every pot grow nestled among walnut trees and strawberry fields is illegal.
Nearly two dozen brightly colored pet macaws squawk in their cages on Richard Daleman's farm in Tulare County. He's a medical marijuana patient who sub-leases the land he rents to other patients. At one point some 4,000 plants were grown on this property.
Richard Daleman: I was doing everything totally legal to California marijuana law.
Khokha: But now Daleman's landlord is planning to evict him. And the ground is pockmarked with holes where nervous sub-letters have yanked their plants; others have left some to mold and rot.
Daleman: I'm not a cartel. If they didn't badger, threaten, and hound medical marijuana patients, might be that they might get more help to catch the bad guy.
Khokha: Legal or not, pot is transforming the valley. Ryan Jacobsen is president of the Fresno County Farm Bureau, and sees the impact in the area.
Ryan Jacobsen: One of the facilities just down the street from where we're standing here is; I mean they had a huge guard tower.
At some times you could see individuals with -- whether they were shotguns or rifles, or whatever else -- there was no secret in what they were protecting.
Khokha: Jacobsen is standing in his vineyard just southwest of Fresno. He points down the road to where authorities raided a marijuana plot -- because they were able to prove some of it was sold as far away as Boston.
The county Sheriff's Department says a single plant sells out of state for about $4,000. Jacobsen says that means if pot were ranked next to almonds and grapes...
Jacobsen: You're talking about a crop that is by far, the most valuable crop grown in this area. Just a couple plants is going to outdo anything else that we grow around here locally on a per-acre basis.
Khokha: As for the U.S. Attorney's office, they're not disclosing how many letters have been sent to landowners. But they're giving them 45 days to evict pot growers -- or risk losing their land.
