FORT WORTH, Texas – Recent reports state of a family court associate judge who has been sentenced to one year of probation as well as fined with $1,240.10 for drunk driving with an open container.
Furthermore, Judge Clifford Lee Bronson, 44 years old, from Fort Worth would also face 90 days in jail if he would ever violate this probation.
The stated conditions of his probation were not yet announced. Judge Bronson had been sentenced on September 14 in County Criminal Court No. 1 for which he pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated with an open container.
He is an associate judge in Title IV-D Court No. 2 at the Family Law Center located in downtown Fort Worth. That same court hears cases which are related to child support.
Reporters were not able to contact Bronson for any comments; however a woman from his courtroom referred all questions to the judge's attorney, Jerry Wood of Fort Worth. Yet, Mr. Wood did not return the telephone calls.
Judge Jeff Walker, the State District Judge of Fort Worth, an administrative judge for the region which oversees that court, had been out of the country and could not be reached for further information.
Bronson had been in the Family Court building on Monday, this according to deputies with the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department.
On January 19, at around 12:30 a.m., a Saginaw police officer who was off-duty as well as his passenger reported that they saw a black Chevrolet pickup which was not able to stay in a single traffic lane as it went westbound on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth, police reports stated.
The said off-duty officer then followed the truck until it pulled over into a fast-food restaurant located in the 6700 block of Camp Bowie. The truck then fishtailed as it pulled out of the parking lot and went back onto Camp Bowie.
During that time, a Fort Worth patrol officer also happened to see the truck on Camp Bowie, which was moving across all lanes of traffic, this according to reports. The officer stopped the said pickup in the 6900 block of Camp Bowie.

"I am responsible only for myself."
On Sunday, July 8, 2001, Angela Boyd wrote:
"You said something in class that has stuck with me every since. You mentioned that white people should take responsibility for their ancestors behavior toward black people. I am having a hard time with the word "responsibilty". I have always been taught that I should take responsibility for my own behavior, not someone else's. I do agree that white people should acknowledge and be empathetic toward the treatment of black people, but not take responsibility for someone else's behavior. It is important to look back in time at how and why slavery and discrimination has become so strong in our society. It is the only way we are going to learn from past mistakes and learn how to eliminate discrimination. I do not take responsibility for white people's treatment of black people just because I am white. I have taken several classes, read several books, and listened to first hand accounts of slavery and white people's behavior but that does not mean I need to apologize for white people's behavior. I don't think that accomplishes anything and it probably will not make up for the past. The only thing I can do is listen and hear black people and their experiences with slavery and discrimination and be sensitive to their experiences.
Discrimination is the devil now and the only way to eliminate that is to treat every person with dignity and respect no matter what their color and this is what I take responsibility for. I acknowledge what happened, see the repercussions, and try to learn from the past so the past doesn't repeat itself through me. I think this is really important and should be the lesson for everyone."
Angela Boyd
On Sunday, July 8, 2001, jeanne responded:Well-reasoned comment, Angela. A good example of the kind of thinking we encourage when we engage in these discussions of social justice. And you make a good point that you should be held responsible for your own actions, not those of others.
You also made a good point in focussing on the meaning of "responsibility." Although I do not recall the particular class in which I made the statement that you recall as "white people should take responsibility for their ancestors' behavior toward black people," I think that further clarification of the terms "responsibility," "privilege," "perpetrator," "intent," and "institutional racism" should clarify this important issue.
Joe Feagin, recent President of the American Sociology Association, has written extensively on institutional racism. Institutional racism is racism that arises from the rules and normative structure of social interaction in personal relationships and in institutions, rather than from any discriminatory or racist intent of an individual perpetrator. In other words, some acts of discrimination and racism occur because someone, operating on racist or discriminatory assumptions and beliefs, intends to exclude or harm a specific group or person. But other acts of discrimination and racism occur simply because "that's the way we do things," or because "we're just following the rules."
Covaleskie refers to power in Foucauldian terms. Disciplinary power is power that derives from the enforcement of the "rules," or the "norms" of behavior. Sovereign power represents the direct line of authority in which a figure head or person takes responsibility for decisions and actions. Disciplinary power represents such authority masked through agents and rules. In disciplinary power the individual enforcing decisions has no responsibility for the decision. Disciplinary power is depersonalized, so that there is no person to hold responsible. It seems objective, but in fact, is not. Disciplinary power is based on all the assumptions incorporated within sovereign power, for disciplinary power has limited discretion, enforced through agents and agencies not themselves empowered to make the sovereign decisions.
As Covaleskie puts it: "When sovereign power operates, we know that we have been acted upon, in what ways, and by whom. The complement to this is the understanding that most of one's life is beyond the control of the sovereign." On the other hand, disciplinary power operates everywhere and at all times: "[W]hile sovereign power affects only a small portion of an individual's life, disciplinary power affects virtually all aspects of living, subjecting everyone to the possibility of surveillance at all times." Normative expectations and rules operate all through our lives. And as Covaleskie points out: "But power that is everywhere is in a very real sense nowhere, and, more to the point, becomes equivalent to a force of nature, which is the appearance disciplinary power assumes once it installs itself in the relations with which we negotiate the world."
Minow speaks of this power as the unstated assumptiions of privilege. Minow elaborates on the ways in which such unstated assumptions introduce discrimination into our system of law.
Now for an explanation of our responsibility for the actions of those who went before us:When past actions, such as colonialism and/or slavery, exploited some and privileged others, the exploitations and privileges became part of our system of law through the unstated assumptions of privilege. The law was created by the privileged, and so reflects their perspective to the exclusion of the perspective of those colonized, enslaved, or exploited. To the extent that we continue to take advantage of the unstated assumptions of privilege on which our current system is based, we continue to bear responsibility for the effects those unstated assumptions have on people harmed by them.
"We are all responsible each for the other."
On Monday, July 9, 2001, Patricia Acone wrote:In reference to Angela Boyd's comment on responsibility, basically, isn't it everyone's responsibility to determine that history does not repeat itself, i.e. holcaust; slavery; native american slaughter? The list, unfortunately, is endless. Therein lies all of our collective responsibility no matter what our color, yes? Or have I made it too simplistic. I don't mean to.
Angela Boyd's well-articulated questions raise issues many people would like to express and do not have the courage.
love and peace, Pat
On Monday, July 9, 2001, jeanne responded:I agree, Pat. Many people raise the questions, and we need to make them part of our discussion on social justice. And many of us were taught that we must not "visit the sins of the Fathers upon the children." So in what sense are we "responsible?"
Two ideas come immediately to mind. First, the responsibility for not being complicit with structural violence. When we see that the rules or normative expectations have the effect of harm on an Other, silence makes us complicit. It seems to me that we need in some way to to stand apart from the normative acceptance of the harm being done that is "no one's fault; that's just the way it is." If I see the harm being done, for I have listened to the Other in good faith, then I think that doing nothing, remaining silent, involves me in complicity with the structural or actual violence.
Second, we are responsible for the continuing harm wrought by the past actions of others, if in fact we see the harm, through listening in good faith, and yet continue to enjoy the privileges which accrue to us because of that continuing harm. Here, I am referring to the the fact that unstated assumptions have led us to build laws and normative patterns that reflect the original discrimination or racism, and by denying that the harm of those unstated assumptions continues into the present, we become complicit.
In both instances, awareness and listening to validity claims in good faith are the requisite responses to ending our complicity, and, hence, our individual responsibility. Power relations may well dictate how we avoid complicity, but only the awareness that comes of good faith listening will protect us ifrom the denial of any complicity.
More to come . . . jeanne
"Our Brother's Keeper"
On Saturday, July 21, 2001, Malika Shakoor wrote:Hello Jeanne, I agree with Pat that we are "all responsible for one another". Ralph Ellison wrote in Invisible Man that, "Even an invisible man has a socially responsible role to play." Martin Luther King, Jr. in a sermon given at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Montgomery Alabama, said, "History has thrust upon me a responsibility from which I cannot turn away. I have no choice." James Baldwin, in No Name in the Street, 1972, wrote, "We are responsible for the world in which we find ourselves, if only because we are the only sentient force which can change it." Thurgood Marshall is quoted as saying, "The responsibility for enforcement of the civil provisions of the civil rights statutes rest solely with the individual."
(Jeanne, I know there are editing problems but I don't know how to underline or italicize the title while sending an e-mail.)
All people must realize that the responsibility or the lack thereof is like throwing a pebble in a pond. The ripples (repercussions)are far-reaching and all will be held accountable. all quotes appear in MY SOUL LOOKS BACK, 'LEST I FORGET, edited by Dorothy Winbush Riley.
Peace and Blessings, Malika
On Wednesday, July 25, 2001, jeanne responded:Malika,
Don't worry about underlining, etc. I can do that easily as I put up the e-mail.
I like the book you took these quotes from. I don't have it, but sounds like I should. And thank you for identifying your sources. Good practice.
There's a PSN post that just went up this evening: Seattle Adopts Kyoto Protocol One of the global conflicts we're about to face is that of preserving the earth's environment. This posting on PSN will go up later tonight, July 25, 2001, and is important to our discussions of responsibility to the earth AND to ourselves.
love and peace, jeanne

The Last 14 Days before your GMAT, Part 1: Building Your Game Plan
Did you know that you can attend the first session of any of our online or in-person GMAT courses absolutely free? We're not kidding! Check out our upcoming courses here.
This is the original version of a piece that has since been updated. See Stacey's latest tips on maximizing the last two weeks before your GMAT.
What's the optimal way to spend your last 14 days before the real test? Several students have asked me this question recently, so that's what we're going to discuss today! There are two levels to this discussion: building a Game Plan and how to Review. We'll discuss the former topic in the first half of this article and the latter in the second half.
What is a Game Plan?
How to Choose: GMAT Self-Study, Class or Tutor? (Part 1)
Summer is here again, along with the GMAT busy season. Application deadlines are just a few short months away! It's time to get your GMAT study into gear.
I've been getting a lot of questions lately about how to study overall. Students ask whether they should study on their own or whether they should take a class or work with a tutor.
In the first part of this 2-part series, we'll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the three primary study approaches; in the second part, we'll examine how to choose the best program and instructor for you (if you decide to take a class or work with a tutor).
How to study: self-study, class, or tutor?
There are plenty of study materials and programs available from which to choose; the question is what is right for you.
Expect to spend between 50 and 100 hours total spread over approximately 2 to 4 months, depending upon your starting point and goal score. You'll need to cover a wide range of material and strategies for the four sections of the test. In fact, this is why so many people do choose to take a class (though there are plenty of self-studiers out there, too!).
There are three primary approaches: working on your own (possibly with friends, but without the help of a professional), taking a GMAT class, or working with a private GMAT tutor. No one method is universally the best method. There are benefits and drawbacks to each situation, so deciding which one is best for you will depend upon your specific learning style, goals, needs, and preferences.
Regardless of study method, there are certain aspects that everyone must have. You will need materials that teach you the content tested on the exam, as well as techniques and methodologies for answering the different kinds of questions on the GMAT. You will also need practice materials, both individual practice problems (which can also be grouped into practice sets) and full, adaptive practice CATs.
You will also need some kind of plan—an outline of what to study and when. If you work with a company, that company should provide a syllabus and materials for you. If you work on your own, you will have to determine your own syllabus and decide what materials to use.
Studying on your own is typically the least expensive option and allows you to work on your own schedule. You also have to develop your own study program, which some people view as a benefit and some view as a drawback.
Developing your own plan can be a benefit if you have past experience with developing study plans, including diagnosing your strengths and weaknesses, choosing the best books and online materials to address your particular issues, planning your time wisely, sticking to a schedule, and, most importantly, teaching yourself. A lot of free resources are available to help you with these steps; for example, here's an article that will help you Develop a Study Plan.
Some companies offer more complete self-study programs. For example, Manhattan GMAT offers an interactive digital learning platform called Interact. GMAT Interact for Integrated Reasoning™ is already available and a full GMAT Interact program will be available in about two weeks.
You can also choose to work just from books; the Developing a Study Plan article linked above talks more about the kinds of materials you'll need. The basic books might cost you about $250 to $350, while a more advanced interactive learning program might set you back about $500 to $1,000.
You are going to have to be your own taskmaster. If you know from past experience that you'll find it hard to stay home on Saturdays to study, especially when the sunshine is beckoning, then you may want to consider taking a course with regular class sessions and assigned homework. The last thing you want to do is reach mid-August and realize that you've barely cracked the books.
If you have generally done well on standardized tests in the past, are disciplined, and aren't looking for an extra-large (200+ points) score increase, then self-study may be the option for you.
Taking a GMAT class is more expensive than studying on your own but less expensive than tutoring. On average, a class might cost you $1,000 to $2,000. It will also, of course, provide you with a study schedule (though you will still have to have the discipline to follow it!).
A GMAT course will provide you with a comprehensive set of effective materials and a syllabus to follow. Using a class syllabus will be somewhat less flexible than developing your own (with or without the help of a tutor), but you also won't have to sit down and figure out what to study on your own. You can (and should!) prioritize the standard syllabus according to your own strengths and weaknesses, spending additional time in weaker areas and moving on more quickly to advanced material in stronger areas.
A good instructor will be able to address different learning styles in the classroom. You will also be able to ask questions and discuss the finer points of GMAT problems with a real, live person; your teacher will become familiar with your strengths and weaknesses over the length of the course and will be better able to assist you as a result.
If you're going for a large score increase (200+ points) or a very high score (700+), then this option might be the one for you. The cost is mid-range between the other two, and you gain access to a tried-and-tested program and an instructor who can help guide you through your studies. (Plus, the incremental cost over a self-study plan is negligible compared to the opportunities that will open up if you can hit your ambitious goal score.)
Tutoring is the most flexible and customized option, but also the most expensive—so much so that cost is the primary drawback to tutoring. Expect to spend a minimum of $3,000 (and quite possibly more).
A tutoring package will provide you with a comprehensive set of effective materials and a tutor should customize a syllabus based upon your particular learning style, goals, strengths, and weaknesses. You will also have the flexibility to set your own schedule and to concentrate on the areas that are most problematic for you. Further, because the expert is working with you one-on-one, she or he will quickly learn what your needs are and customize the lessons accordingly. As a result, tutoring is typically the most efficient study method (though you will pay for that efficiency!).
If cost is no object or if you know that self-study and classroom approaches won't work well for you, then tutoring may be the best path. You might also use a hybrid approach in which you study on your own or take a class, and then do only a small number of hours of tutoring for more targeted help.
For options two and three, the right instructor makes all the difference. In the second part of this two-part series, we'll talk about how to choose a particular instructor who matches your learning style, motivates you to attend class, and effectively conveys how best to think and work as the best GMAT test-takers do.

GMAT INTERACT is a comprehensive on demand, self-paced program that features 35+ lessons that are interactive, funny, and completely directed by you. No two people see the same thing. Designed around the student-teacher connection, an expert Manhattan Prep instructor will guide you through each section of the GMAT, asking you questions and prompting you to think about the content presented. What's more: every response you give tailors the lesson you'll receive.
3. We've made GMAT Fun!

Riverside, Roath and Rhiwbina farmers' markets are all
operated by Riverside Community Markets Association or RCMA for short, we were
set up in 1998 when the first market was launched as Riverside Real Food Market
in Despenser Gardens. Since then the operation has grown and we are now running
three weekly farmers markets in Cardiff, working with Riverside Community
Garden and moving into the world of evening street food nights.
We are passionate about local food, sold directly to you by
the producers and growers local to the city and we do this without it costing
the earth. We work to create a friendly place to shop and meet up your local community.
Over the last 16 years we have seen local residents benefit
from the markets both in terms of having local affordable food on their
doorsteps and the positive attitude towards areas that the markets create.
We have three key aims which provide the foundations of all
of our work:
Supporting local businesses – we aim to give producers and growers the opportunity to trade directly with the public in the city and offer them support in getting their products quite literally to market.
Fresh Local Food – we work to increase the access to affordable, fresh, local produce within areas with limited provisions. We aim to help people become more aware of the food they are buying while also reducing food miles and unnecessary packaging. Excellent food that doesn't cost the earth
Excellent food for Cardiff – contributing to supporting local businesses, regeneration and a greater sense of community within the city all while gathering some of the best food producers in South Wales for you to choose from.
"We love shopping at the markets. We know we are getting the freshest
and most cared for ingredients around!"


text: If your roof needs to be cleaned: Would you be willing to test a new "green" product on your roof? Just Blast It Clean With A Pressure Washer? Or have a coating applied to it, so it may stay clean for 1-2 years, as those who sell such applications warranty them for? Or instead, be safe and stick with the Manufacturer instructions? Cleaning with their instructions generally lasts 3-5 years. No need for any after-coatings. Below is the manufacturer "non-pressure" gentle dispersion and chemicals we use at: Chuck Bergman Roof Cleaning. 941-698-1959 { Englewood,Florida Area.}[/COLOR] We know your roof is expensive and you probably don't want to have any new chemicals tested out on your roof? By now, most consumers also know that pressure washing is the wrong way to clean a roof. Pressure washing is great for everything except your roof! Non manufacturer cleaning methods may void your roofing warranty, according to the information in their links below, so my son and I, [father & son only ] at Chuck Bergman Roof Cleaning, just clean them as the manufacturer says to. Then we get no lawsuits! The main manufacturer recommended chemical is chlorine bleach. Some may wonder, due to the recent attempts at selling "so called" green eco-friendly products: Is bleach truly green and eco-friendly? Yes I would say it is. Chlorine bleach is Sodiun Hypochlorite [look at the ingredients in Chlorox etc] and is made from common salt. It bio-degrades back into salt when it dries up. Chlorine is something we all drink from our tap water, soak in it in our showers and tubs and swim in it in our pools. AT LEAST WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH, WHEN IT COMES TO CHLORINE. NOT SO WITH UNKNOWN CHEMICALS CALLED "GREEN" The only real danger from chlorine, is if an unqualified roof cleaner does not care for your plants, directly below a roof edge, he can burn a line in your vegetation. We take professional precautions, before, during and after cleaning all roofs, so this does not occur with us. HERE ARE THE FACTS FROM THE MANUFACTURERS ETC: Below are the only manufacturer suggested chemicals I have been able to find on any manufacturer website, bulletin, etc. Some *alternative chemical users* claim "Approved" but do not supply manufacturer links to prove it. The below info and links, prove how those who manufacture and warranty your roofing approve of cleaning them! __________________________________________________________________ From GAF Roofing Manufacturers about black algae removal: http://www.gaf.com/Documents/Algae_...of_Surfaces_-_Steep_Slope_Techn-43-808-v3.pdf Below is a partial "cut and paste" excerpt from the above link: GAF Roofing Manufacturers, on how to clean a roof: "If a new roof is not an option, GAF recommends cleaning the roof with a special mixture. That mixture is: 4 gallons of water, 1 gallon of bleach and 1 cup of baking soap" "What NOT To Do! Do not power wash the shingles to clean the shingles. Some roof cleaning companies offer this service. However, it is not recommended." From ARMA roofing manufacturers Association-how to clean roofing. http://www.asphaltroofing.org/pdf/tb_217.pdf Below is a partial excerpt cut and pasted below from ARMA: Algae discolorations to remove from roofing surfaces, applying a solution of chlorine bleach, triS phosphate, {baking soap}and water. Solutions for these ingredients depend on the amount of discoloration. Solutions range to one cup baking soap and 2.5 gallons each of bleach and water. First, gently disperse this solution on the roofing surface. Avoid scrubbing the surface, as this friction may loosen and remove granules. Caution! High pressure washing systems for algae removal should not be used. Owens Corning Roofing Manufacturers say the same thing: "USE CHLORINE and baking soap" "DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER" Corning info in link below. http://webapps.easy2.com/cm2/flash/generic_index.asp?page_id=36077811 This one, from the ARMA, says not to allow anyone to apply any *after coating* such as Algae-cides, Fungicides, zinc, copper, or other treatments - not anything! http://www.asphaltroofing.org/pdf/tb_227.pdf SO, ROOFING MANUFACTURERS SPECIFY ONE CHEMICAL TO CLEAN THEIR ROOFING WITH - CHLORINE BLEACH. NOT ANY NEW GREEN CHEMICALS AT ALL. THEY SAY SPECIFICALLY NOT TO APPLY ANY COATINGS AT ALL AFTER CLEANING. NOW YOU HAVE VERIFIABLE FACTS WITH LINKS TO MAKE DECISIONS WITH. NOT JUST SALES TALKS!. If you would like your roof cleaned by the above manufacturer specifications, please give us a call! Englewood 941-474-8883 Cape Haze, Placida, Rotonda 941-698-1959 Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, S.

Spicy Chicken Pops
At his modern Southeast Asian follow-up to Father's Office, chef Sang Yoon marinates wings in a mixture of ginger, garlic, scallions, onions, Chinese light soy sauce and kecap manis, an intense, dark, sweet Indonesian sauce. The marinated wings are dusted with flour, deep-fried twice in peanut oil and tossed in a sauce made with kecap manis and soy sauce, black vinegar, ginger, garlic, scallions and onions. The fantastically sticky wings are then finished with Yoon's own spicy Sichuan salt.

April 2012 - Equality Now recognized 20 years of working to protect and promote the human rights of women and girls around the world on April 19 with a celebration at the Asia Society in New York City that opened with a message from Advisory Board member Meryl Streep, read by the iconic actress Vanessa Redgrave. Hosted by Tony Award-winning playwright and Advisory Board Member, Sarah Jones, and written and directed by Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Joss Whedon, the variety-style show employed humor, drama, video, music and dance to creatively explore and highlight Equality Now's core thematic issues.
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
Long time partner and supporter, Jones, invited her multi-cultural characters to help emcee the event to the delight of the audience, while Whedon's Evil Future Robot, Zombie and When I Speak pieces respectively underscored the absurdity of discrimination based on gender, the plight of women and girls exploited in the criminal sex trafficking industry, and the vulnerability of adolescent girls to abuses such as of child marriage, teacher rape and incest. Equality Now also premiered an anniversary video reflecting two decades of impact and a look ahead to the future. The evening was rounded out by a soulful performance from celebrated recording artist Natalie Merchant and a lively performance fusing traditional African dance and contemporary movement and music from the Jamal Jackson Dance Company.
More than 250 guests attended including UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Equality Now co-founder, Navi Pillay, philanthropists Jennifer and Peter Buffett, designer Donna Karan, playwright and activist Eve Ensler and actor and former basketball pro Rick Fox. "The Cast" included Marcela Barry (The Arts Effect), Neil Casey, Eden Sanaa Duncan-Smith (Project Girl), Eliza Dushku, Natalie Haynes, Sophie Hearn (The Arts Effect), Sarah Jones, Laura Linney, Dan Mersh, Jillian Morgese, Vanessa Redgrave, Joss Whedon, Debra Winger and Daphne Zuniga. Stated Global Director Yasmeen Hassan, "Thank you to the writers and cast for making our 20th anniversary so special and bringing our work alive through your art. We hope this evening will inspire everyone to take action – each of you can make a difference!"

West Ham United have been forced into pulling out of their pursuit of Inter Milan legend Diego Milito after the Argentinian told the East London club that he'd prefer to end his career at former side Racing.
The European Cup winner is set to leave the Nerazzurri as the club look to trim their wage bill in the wake of their failure to qualify for the Champions League last year.
Reportedly on a deal which earns him £4.5million-a-year, Milito was one of the first to be told his services would no longer be required.
Once his contract has expired this summer, much like Esteban Cambiasso and Christian Chivu, the 34-year-old will be moved on as the Italians look to herald a new era of younger talent.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce will now have to look elsewhere for a new striker to compliment club-record signing Andy Carroll upon his return to fitness, with Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan and Standard Liege striker Michy Batshuayi reportedly in his mind.
Initially interested in Tottenham Hotspur's Emmanuel Adebayor, before his renaissance in fortunes under new head-coach Tim Sherwood, Allardyce is all too aware that securing another frontman is top of his priorities.

Do you use the same password for everything you do online? If so, you may be giving away the keys to the kingdom!
But you could have the same problem if you use so many different passwords that you have to write them down to remember them. In the wrong hands, that slip of paper with all your passwords is like gold. Worse still is recording all of your passwords in a file or document on your computer — a cybercriminal's dream come true!
With the number of personal and professional accounts most of us have these days, it would be almost impossible to remember all of them. There are some very good, and free, utilities available for recording your passwords into an encrypted database that only requires one master password to open. Obviously this would be a very important and well guarded password. Two examples of these utilities are KeePass and DataInherit.
How "complicated" should a password be, in order to be considered secure? There's no set answer, but some recommendations appear to be universal:
- The longer the password, the better.
- Don't use the same password everywhere.
- Include a number and/or special character in your password (required by many sites).
- Make it easy to remember, not easy to figure out.
Microsoft® recommends passwords that are at least 8 characters long, that cannot be found in the dictionary, are not words spelled backwards, do not use your personal information, and do not have repeated numbers or characters. Click here for more recommendations.
Remember to change your personal and other work related password(s) often as well. To remind yourself to do it at least twice a year, consider syncing with Daylight Savings Time and making the change when it's time to turn your clocks back/ahead (and change your smoke detector batteries!).
P.S. Daylight Savings Time ends on November 6 this year.

" North of central Manchester. Tel: +44 (0)161 773 1085. "
Manchester is a wonderful city, but sadly unlike London it is not renowned for its green spaces. Thanks to its industrial heritage parks in the inner areas of the city are small, few and far between. Thankfully, Heaton Park is nearby, just a few miles outside the city centre, easily accessible from inner areas via A roads and from the M60 ring road.
According to Wikipedia, Heaton Park is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe. It was given to the city by the Earl of Wilton at the turn of the 20th Century and has been managed by the local authority ever since. They do an excellent job in my opinion of keeping the park clean, safe, attractive and of providing a wide range of facilities and events.
At the heart of the park is Heaton Hall, an impressive Grade 1 listed manor house. Unfortunately it is currently closed and out of use and will be for the next few years while renovations and upgrades are carried out. Its still worth a visit though as its lovely even fro the outside and as it sits at the highest point of the park the views of Greater Manchester and the surrounding countryside are spectacular. On a clear day you can see for miles.
There are lots of facilities for children and young families. There is a little farm where you can meet the animals including horses. There are several different play areas, all of which have fairly modern play equipment and the children I see always look like they're having a good time! There's a little train that trundles around the park during the summer and in the school holidays and of course you can always feed the ducks at the lake or even hire a boat for an hour.
I visit the park as dog walker, and my dogs absolutely love it. Because the park is so vast you can pretty much do a completely different walk every day of the year so there's no chance of getting bored doing the same route every day. I still occasionally discover a new path or a bit of woodland I didn't know about before. Dogs are allowed off lead but must be under control and must be put on a lead if requested by a member of the park's staff. As everywhere, you must clean up after your dog or pay a fine, and you aren't allowed to be in sole charge of more than 4 dogs at once.
The park feels very safe, even when you're on one of the less popular footpaths or when you're in a deserted area. The whole park is fenced and gated and the gates close at dusk every day (worth checking sunset times online before you go so you don't get locked in! There are always staff around, more in the summer obviously when there are more people around and when all the facilities such as cafes, boat hire, the train etc. but even in the winter there are cars that slowly patrol the various areas of the park.
There are several large car parks, you have to pay to park at peak times (weekends, school holidays) but its free at less popular times. There are also lots of residential streets around the park where you can park for free.
So if you live in the Manchester area and you haven't visited yet, you really should! Its great for a walk, a picnic, a day out with the children, a bike ride, a good place to go for a run, oh and there's a golf course too but I'm afraid I know nothing about golf so I can't really review that, sorry!
Heaton Park is located in Prestwich which is in Manchester and whenever we get some nice weather me and my boyfriend always go up to Heaton Park for a day out. It is completely free to get in as are most country parks, as they are owned by the council. It has a few entrances, but the one we always go in is where the main car parks are. It usually costs £1 to park all day which is really good value, I don't mind paying that, but today when we went it was so busy there weren't enough car parking spaces, it was completely full, but we managed to find a space on the road just 2 minutes walk away for free, so we will probably park there in future for free!
The car parks are very small, nowhere near enough for the amount of visitors that heaton park attracts on a nice day. However there are staff walking round the car park all day so you know your car is going to be safe.
Heaton Park has an animal farm which we love going to, They have rabbits, donkeys, horses, goats, pigs, chickens etc. These are all free to go and see, and you can get really close to most of them and stroke them. You cant take your dog in this part, so we couldn't go in today because we had our dog but we have been in before, and you can still see the horses, donkeys and goats from outside and stroke them.
There is a nice lake located in heaton park and you can hire a boat there for half an hour which costs £8.50, we really wanted to do this today but the queues were absolutely massive! There are a number of burger vans and ice cream vans located around the park, but these too had massive queues, we just wanted to get a bottle of water but every shop and stall had queues of about 30 mins, so we didn't bother.
Even though it was packed in heaton park today, there was loads of space to sit and sunbath in peace away from everyone, as it is such a big park. There aren't enough trees though in the sunbathing areas, we could hardly find any shade. It is a lovely walk around heaton park, but it is not as peaceful as other country parks, it is more of a family day out for children, as there are loads of things to do like slides, and play areas for kids. If you wanted a really peaceful and quiet day out at a park I wouldn't choose heaton park, not on really sunny days.
I think there should be more toilets located around heaton park too, the ones we found eventually were not very well sign posted and very hard to find, and were right in the middle of the park, we couldn't find any others. When I went in the toilet, the floors were filthy, there was no soap and the hand dryers didn't work! I suppose there are better toilets in the cafes though, but they were so busy we didn't go near them.
The park itself is very clean, the bins weren't overflowing, there were going round emptying them all day which was good. There are also tram rides through the park, and train rides too. Also they usually have a fun fair on, but this wasn't on today, im not sure why, it is usually on from april to october.
Overall, heaton park is a beautiful place to go on a sunny day, it has loads of stuff to do for kids and families, but if you were looking for a quieter peaceful place I would choose somewhere else!
This is one of my best places to visit. I have been going to Heaton Park since I was little and I now take my Daughter there on a regular basis. It is normally very popular with families and Dog Walkers.
Heaton Park is owned by the council and is free to enter. You may have to pay for parking if busy but they only charge a pound for as long as you want. There is a little farm and stables where you can take the children to visit the animals, there is many to see as they have rabbits, chickens, horses, pigs, cows etc. They also have a Squirrel area that if you're lucky you can feed them and they will come right up to you and take it out of the hand.
There are also two parks for the kids. The first Park is your normal slide and swings, it also has a sand pit next to it. The second Park is a wooden park with ropes and bridges.
They have a lovely Boating lake where for a fee you can take a boat out. There is always plenty of ducks to feed so taking bread with you is a must if you have small children.
There is a few places to eat the cafes are at the stables and boating lake. There is also the orangey. But if you don't fancy spending any money you can always take a picnic with you as there is plenty of places to sit.
The park has acres of land with plenty of grass for you to play ball of chill out. And after all that walking you can take a ride on the little train that goes round the whole park. That charges £1 each.
You can also take a bike as they have plenty of paths for people who want a lovely bike ride with a view.
Some times through the year they also have a fair on mainly for holidays and occasions.
I also love this park as it's very safe for children they can just run wild and you don't have to worry about cars passing through as all the actives are away from the car parks.
My Daughter loves it here too she is only two so there is plenty to keep her occupied.
What more can you ask for this park can cost you nothing for a day out and there is always plenty to do to keep everyone happy.
Heaton Park is owned by Manchester City Council and is located in Prestwich, which is approximately seven miles north of Manchester city centre. You will find it just off junction 18 on the M60.
Heaton Park is big country park with a lake running through it. You can walk around it and there are lots of different routes that you can take. You often see families here, as well as young couples and dog walkers.
As well as being a park there is also Heaton Hall to look around which has been here since the 14th Century and is free to enter.
The Orangery is a restaurant next to the hall that can be hired for weddings and christenings.
This is a great place to go for a picnic and a walk, but it also offers families lots of other activities. There's an animal centre on site, where you can go and look at the cows, pigs, goats, hens and ducks; as well as domestic animals like rabbits and guinea pigs.
You can catch a tram around the park and there is also a small boating lake. You can hire the little boats out and go rowing with the family; however dogs are not allowed in the boats for health and safety reasons.
There is usually a fair on the grounds, with a few small rides and an ice cream van often takes up residence. You will also find a café that serves basic food, tea and coffee.
You have to pay a few pounds for parking, but I think this is more than worth it because there are so many facilities to enjoy. The park is well maintained and it's good that it offers something more than a pretty place to walk around.
There are also additional sports, charity and children's events that take place here, so it's worth keeping an eye on the website: http://www.heatonpark.org.uk to make sure that you and your family don't miss out on anything special.
I highly recommend this park. It is a great place to visit - five out of five stars.
Heaton Park is a nice breath of fresh air inside a huge city which is over developed and has so much traffic congestion. Located near to junction 18 of the M60 near Prestwich, and it's very accesible with multiple entances. I stay on the same road about 1 minutes walk from the park and am a frequent user. It has a pond, of sorts, a playpark for kids, nice forest walks and even a couple of football pitches. Also with the Commonwealth games coming to manchester we now have a bowling green too. Also there is a garden centre, zoo and even tennis courts and basketball courts. The zoo isn't extensive but does give something for you to look at while your walking around. also with the tennis courts you can get out and have some excercise. The pond used to have boats for rowing around it in but they were destroyed ina fire and I don't know how long it will be until they are replaced. The park is host to many festivals and the first time I went their there was an Asian fair on which was interesting. Also they hosted Radio one's One Big Sunday which had many good bands playing at it. So if you've got an afternoon off or want to go for a sunday walk somewhere and the city centre is bringing you down try heaton park. It's got natural wildlife and as I said some really nice forest walks. Definetly the place for a picnic in Manchester!
Heaton Park is situated near to junction 18 of the M60 near Prestwich, Manchester; and is approximately 20 minutes from Manchester City Centre. Heaton Park is set in approximately 650 acres of landscaped parkland, including woodlands and lots of open green space, which is Grade II by the English Heritage. In addition, there are nine listed buildings within the grounds of Heaton Park, including the magnificent neo-classical Heaton Hall Grade I listed country house, which has beautifully restored 18th century interiors – well worth a visit, especially as admission is free of charge, but note, the mansion is only open from Thursday through Sundays, and Bank Holidays. The family of the Earl of Wilton left Heaton Park to the City of Manchester in 1901. It was turned into a municipal park (one of the largest of its kind in Europe) to cater for families from the inner city areas. I believe that the tramline was implemented around that time to provide transport for these families. Recreational Facilities ================ Heaton Park offers many family recreational facilities including: - Boating Lake - Children's playground - Eighteen hole golf course - Farm Centre - Golf Putting green - Horse and donkey riding during the summer - Rose Garden - The Orangery - Tram Museum - Various walks - Wildlife Gardens and Pond The Farm Centre ============ The Farm Centre is home to many animals including pigs, sheep, goats, donkeys and chickens as well as a pedigree herd of highland cattle and flock of hebridean sheep. The farm centre is an ideal place for school parties as not only do they have a classroom facility but also the children are given the opportunity to see small animals such as chicks, rabbits, guinea pigs etc. close up. The Gardens ========= The wildlife garden and pond are central features of Heaton Park
217;s Horticultural Centre, which is also the home to "Friends of Heaton Park". Coffee mornings are held during the summer at which a vast selection of beautiful floral displays and plants are available for purchase. The Golf Course ============ Heaton Park's golf course, opened in 1912, is a championship course with a mature and challenging layout which was designed by renowned five times open champion J.H. Taylor. Spectacular views over the Pennines and surrounding countryside can be enjoyed from the course in addition to the three beautiful lakes, which play a prominent part in every round. This course is every good as, if not better than some private courses. The Orangery ========== The Orangery has been beautifully restored and refurbished and now provides a unique and stylish setting for weddings and other special occasions. The Tram Museum Heaton Park is also the home of the Tram Museum. The present Tramway at Heaton Park was developed from a restored section of the former siding off the Manchester Corporation Tramways system on Middleton Road, which is located north east of the city. The siding was originally built to allow special cars to operate from various parts of the city bringing Sunday School parties for a day out to the grounds of Heaton Hall. The park provided recreation facilities for families from the inner Manchester City areas and the trams provided easy access. In 1934 the siding was disconnected from the main system and the track was covered so that buses could use it. It stayed covered until 1978 when the Manchester Transport Museum Society and Manchester City Council started work on a scheme to reinstate it using a Manchester single deck car 765 which had been restored by the Society's members. As part of the scheme, the former shelter was transformed into a depot building to house 765 and former Blackpool and Fleetwood Box Car 40, which
were loaned by the Tramway Museum Society. Besides housing the trams and maintenance facilities, the depot also contains a museum display of large format photographs and artefacts depicting the development of the Manchester area tramways, from the early horse trams through to the Metrolink system of the present day. The Tram Museum also houses a gift shop where you can buy transport-related items. Special Events =========== Heaton Park hosts many events throughout the year, including Classic bus shows, pop festivals and next year, it is to be used as a venue in the Commonwealth Games, where the lawn bowls competition will be played. Well worth a visit, take a picnic and make a day of it.

Did Victorian literature include: Emphasis upon social duty, Nationalistic pride, The tension between faith and doubt, and The rejection of all authority or did it only include some of them?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Victorian literature is rife with contradictions. On one hand, it was a very "stuffy" age, and very materialistic as well. On the other hand, long-held religious beliefs were being rocked by the writings of Charles Darwin. Victorians were also grappling with the writings of Marx, further challenging the faith of many. In addition, he work of Sigmund Freud was changing the literary landscape.
Labor unions began to become a force with which to be reckoned, challenging assumptions about what a country "owed" its citizens.
The early 1800s begin in Romanticism, with all its lofty and ephemeral ideals, but ended in "naturalistic pessimism."

Email Marketing Solutions
Email marketing has become an essential part the co-registration process and Jordan VIP allows you to integrate with the ESP of your choice. However, email has become a commodity and email service providers (ESPs) are a dime a dozen, causing many to think there's little difference between them. Below is how Jordan VIP differentiates itself in the marketplace and why we might be the best choice for your email marketing needs. Jordan VIP publishers and advertisers who choose to use us as their ESP enjoy special discounts and incentives.
Difference #1:
Our Product is All-Inclusive
Unlike other email service providers, Jordan VIP's product is all-inclusive meaning we don't tier our product based on features. Every time we develop a new feature or expand our system, we make the upgrades available to all our clients regardless of their agreement size.
Difference #2:
Price/Value Guarantee
Jordan VIP is the only ESP with a pricing guarantee. Jordan VIP's "Best Value Guarantee" assures that you will not find a more comprehensive, all-inclusive product on the market for the price. We guarantee our pricing to be at least 10% less than comparable email products and in many cases is 40% to 60% less. You can be assured you're getting the best deal on the market.
Difference #3:
Mandatory Custom DNS and Unique IP
A lot of ESPs pay lip service to deliverability however very few follow the platinum standard for best practices; custom DNS with unique IP address. Sending commercial email with a custom DNS and unique IP address is the BEST way to manage email deliverability. We take this practice so seriously that we mandate all of our clients follow it. In fact, if you don't have a unique IP address and custom DNS you cannot take advantage of premium delivery services from ReturnPath, SuretyMail, GoodMail and others.

How are you doing my darling? I am an officer in the United States Army. i graduate in the United States Military Academy and Harvard Law School and am an Army judge advocate and former infantryman, that led the rule of law campaign in Iraq from 2006 to 2008 while serving with Army Gen. David Petraeus in Mufti-National Force - Iraq. While in Iraq, I coordinated the work of United States and coalition investigative, corrections, and judicial experts and directed MNF-I support to Iraq's courts and law enforcement institutions.
In September 2009, i was appointed the deputy commanding General of Joint Task Force 435 in Afghanistan, charged with reforming military detention operations in Afghanistan. In February 2010 I became the overseeing detainee operations at the Detention Facility in Parwan (DFIP) which replaced the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.
In the end of 2010, I assumed command of the new Rule of Law Field Force in Afghanistan, which i work to transform problem areas into secure and accountable legal environments. In a lecture following the acceptance of Harvard Law School's Medal of Freedom and Afghanistan's lack of governance and accompanied by a lack of confidence in the government's of Afghanistan's ability to deliver justice, resolve civil disputes and address a perceived culture of impunity among the powerful in 2011.
I Established the rule of law in these districts is critical to the kind of sound governance that will enable an enduring transition of security responsibility to Afghanistan forces and deny that rugged country as a sanctuary for global threats of the Militants.
Starting in October 2011, I become the Chief Prosecutor in the Office of Military Commissions, I'm presently working as a coordinator to Afghanistan for peace keeping Mission.
Honey, i really want to establish a long term relationship with you, may be we can start as friend or go into lovers partners, as i want to invest in your country. So please tell me how economic of your country is and what type of market that really moves there, so that i will know the area to invest on.
How the situation of things is over there regards to the economic standard and security? Life is precious and i think nations economy grows as a result of good government and understanding of the people... What do you think???
I divorced since 5 years ago, but i have 2 kids, a boy and a girl. What do you do for a living to overcome economical expenses and to sustain your living?
Well I will appreciate us being good friends in sincerity , honesty and trust although we just knew each other, we can share ideas and discuss about more issues as we talk more about ourselves, and as time goes on there may be something great for us in the future ...What do you say? Although we just met, with the step of trust, love and willingness to begin this friendship.
Thanks a lot, I assure you that we will be good friends that people will us, all we need to do is to be sincere in our communication as good friends OK. I am looking for a woman to settle my life with, because soon i will retire from my job. I will like to know you more my dear

IN A modest house in the Melbourne suburb of Thornbury, the latest salvo in the war against tyranny has just been fired. Episode six of Rap News, titled WikiLeaks' Cablegate: The truth is out there, has been watched more than 236,000 times since being posted to YouTube on December 17, and planning for the next assault is well under way.
Rap News is the handiwork of Hugo Farrant, 30, and Giordano Nanni, 32, and its mix of politically charged analysis, comical impersonations and hip-hop beats has found a dedicated and rapidly growing audience in the 12 months since it was born out of a chance encounter at a barbecue in the inner-northern suburb.
But while the duo are constantly told their bulletins - filmed and recorded in Nanni's lounge room using borrowed gear - are ''good enough for TV'', Nanni says they have no plans to leave the internet any time soon.
''There's this idea the internet is a springboard to get on to TV, but I think it has to be the other way around,'' Nanni says.
''Making it on the internet is much more real. It's not advertised, you're on your own, so to get such a response is a much greater sign of genuine appreciation.''
Nanni, who grew up in Florence and moved to Melbourne eight years ago, has a PhD from Melbourne University, where he holds an honorary research position in the law faculty, and is working on a book on the relative views of time in black and white cultures.
He is the behind-the-camera talent, researching and co-writing, composing, directing and editing the broadcasts. According to Farrant, it is Nanni who ensures ''the sources [are] coherent and reliable''.
In front of the camera, it's all Farrant, an English teacher by day who scored a cult internet hit in 2008 with the gangsta-rap parody Branksome, about his home town in Dorset. With his long blonde dreadlocks tucked inside a variety of wigs, the Englishman, who migrated here two years ago, starts each episode of Rap News as newsreader Robert Foster but also plays everyone from Donald Rumsfeld to Hillary Clinton to Julian Assange.
Ah, yes, Mr Assange. In a big coup for the fledgling news service - and there's little doubt the pair see themselves as offering a genuine alternative to the ''spin'' of mainstream media - the WikiLeaks founder made contact with Rap News in October, telling them he loved their work and offering them a sneak preview of the forthcoming cable leaks, thinking it could help inform the content of their next episode.
''Of course, we jumped at the opportunity and were aboard planes within a fortnight,'' Nanni told the website Mediaroots last month.
They arrived in London on October 23, four days before a batch of cables were leaked, and had to turn around episode five in far less than the two weeks they usually take to shoot and edit an instalment. But when News World Order - the war on journalism went to air on October 27, it contained a bonus that not even their biggest fans could have expected - a cameo from Mr Assange himself.
''We asked Julian straight up,'' Nanni told mediaroots. ''Despite a couple of initial raised eyebrows, Julian was totally up for it.
Having to tell Julian Assange how to hit the beat was a unique experience.
''We didn't pull any punches on the gags, either. Thankfully, the man has a great sense of humour.''
''Having to tell Julian Assange how to hit the beat was a unique experience,'' says Farrant.
''I've never tried to teach anyone to rap before. It showed people a different side to his character.''
That episode is their most-seen to date, with more than 360,000 views, and while the truth may or may not be out there, the audience certainly is.
''Every time we do a new video, it gets bigger,'' says Nanni. ''The next one will be on an Australian issue.''
Julia Gillard, you've been warned.

Chris Paul had 15 points and eight assists and Caron Butler added 13 points for the Clippers, who were vying for a run of seven contests of at least 100 points for the first time since the 1993-94 season.
Atlanta's Josh Smith had 13 points before being plagued by foul trouble. Al Horford and Lou Williams added 11 apiece for the Hawks, who were hampered by their 7-for-16 effort at the free-throw line.
Eric Bledsoe came alive in the fourth quarter, making a pair of jumpers before his 3-pointer gave Los Angeles an 83-65 advantage midway through the session.
The Clippers extended the run to 20-5 in just over a seven-minute stretch to hand the Hawks their second straight loss to begin a four-game road trip.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Smith, who went 0-for-4 from the line, is 2-for-14 from the charity stripe this season. ... Jamal Crawford, who won the NBA's Sixth Man award with Atlanta in 2010, had 11 points off the bench. ... Former Hawk Willie Green went 1-for-5 for two points for the Clippers.
