Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
also what rights do you loose when you have a federal offense?what about a plea agreement?, do they usually state you cannot appeal unless you feel ur lawyer is incompitent? when you have a felony i know you cannot possess a gun or vote etc, but is there a length of time you can wait to get those rights back?for example if you were a innocent by-standard in a drug trafficking case. you have no choice but to plea gulity for...
Most plea agreements include a promise to waive appeal rights.
You do not say what offense, but a felon, for example, cannot possess a gun. A felony record, for example, is routinely disclosed in any cursory job application search. The list goes on.....
Good luck to you.Ask a similar question
Unfortunately, what has been happening in federal court, is that the US Attorneys offices are now asking the defendants to specifically waive the right to appeal, as part of a plea agreement. In some districts, the plea agreements even include a waiver to collaterally attack the conviction.
Although it is common, you must still verify with your lawyer the benefits of the plea agreement such that it is worth waiving a right to appeal. This is a difficult issue to discuss through an internet post, because there are so many variables.
The fact that the Government is asking for these appeal waivers does not make it right. However, it is impossible to discuss the importance of the appeal waiver in your particular case. For example, in some cases, it means that a defendant might not be able to appeal a federal sentencing caculation to the appeals court. If the plea and sentence is in North Carolina, the appeal would be to the Fourth Circuit court of Appeals.
I would encourage you to ask the same questions you are asking, but also ask the attorney what do you get by entering into the plea agreement.Ask a similar question
I agree with the assessments of both of my colleagues, and especially with the types of issues/questions mentioned by Ms. Ramirez, which need to be discussed with an experienced criminal attorney licensed to practice law in NC. Since you posted the question without indicating whether you are charged and considering entering a guilty plea, it is only possible to answer your questions in the general terms I have used. Good luck.
This answer is provided solely for informational purposes, for you to use as a starting point when speaking directly with a lawyer in your State. I do not practice law in your State, and this answer does not constitute legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or constitute attorney advertising. I urge you to immediately contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer admitted to practice law in your State before you make any decisions about this case.
I agree with my colleagues. Without knowing whether you plead guilty (and WHEN you plead guilty) it is not possible to advise you completely. Also, you say you have "no choice" but to plead guilty even though you were an "innocent bystander." Again without knowing all the facts, I cannot say whether this would be wise or not, but, as a criminal defendant you NEVER have "no choice" but to plead guilty to a crime. The burden is on the government to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of 12 citizens chosen from the community to hear the case. Of course, it is also a reality that, even though you may be innocent, the government may believe you to be guilty and may have the evidence necessary to convince a jury of your guilt, and, thus, you are faced with a tough decision - accept a plea bargain or risk an uncertain outcome and take your case to trial. Again, I cannot comment on the wisdom of either option with the limited information I have.
Sadly, I have seen plea agreements where the US Attorney's Office seeks to have the defendant waive his or her right to challenge the conviction even in the case where the defendant's attorney has provided ineffective assistance of counsel.
There is a practical aspect of this as well. You mention an "appeal" of your federal criminal court case based upon ineffective assistance of counsel. Understand that, pursuant to Fed. Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 4(b), you have 10 days to file a notice of appeal from the date judgment is entered against you. It is highly unlikely that you would be able to discover evidence of your attorney's ineffectiveness within that time (unless maybe if your attorney commits some form of malpractice at the sentencing hearing itself). This would not cover a situation where, for example, an attorney failed to interview a witness to a crime that exonerated the attorney's client and the witness surfaced six months after sentencing. In such a case, the law does provide a remedy under 28 USC § 2255 - commonly referred to as a habeas corpus petition - which generally can be filed so long as the defendant's liberty is restrained (jail, prison, etc.) as a result of a conviction.
If you have not accepted your plea bargain, I would strongly recommend you seed a second opinion from a reputable federal criminal defense lawyer in your area and discuss the issues presented in your case and be HONEST with this lawyer and make sure you tell the lawyer everything - the good, the bad, and the ugly - about your case. If your doctor was recommending brain surgery, you'd seek a second opinion, and, with your liberty at stake, the course of action should be no different. I wish you well.

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) announced a plan to mandate the top largest credit unions to undergo stress tests to ensure these institutions have sufficient capital to withstand a fluctuating economy.
Debbie Matz, chairman of the NCUA told The Washington Post that stress tests were the best way to confirm the industry had necessary protections in place to withstand diversions in the economy.
"Stress testing is just the prudent thing to do," she said last week. "We need to utilize all the tools at our disposal to look ahead in order to protect the industry in the future."
Certain variables would be examined including unemployment, incomes, and exchange rates in order to determine the solidity and muscle of larger credit unions.
Although banks were subjected to stress tests under Dodd-Frank, the Fed did not include these rigors for large credit unions. One reason credit unions were not under the microscope was because no findings were made that implicated the industry in the risky lending that led to one of the most catastrophic economic collapses in recent years.
However, the NCUA acknowledges that if one of the largest national credit unions were to fail the stress test, this insolvency could endanger the credit union insurance fund. Additionally, failure to pass could also impact rates and fees as failing credit unions would possibly have to raise more capital through boosting fees and altering rates.
Full test details should be released within the coming months and once plans are announced the NCUA will allow a free forum for comments within 60 days following the release.
The top four named credit unions include Navy Federal Credit Union ($54 billion, Vienna VA), Pentagon Federal Credit Union ($15.8 billion, Alexandria Virginia), State Employees' Credit Union ($26.7 billion, Raleigh, NC) and Boeing Employees' Credit Union ($11.5 billion, Tukwila, WA).
For the most part, the largest credit unions in the country support the NCUA's initiative to perform stress tests. Top credit unions responded to Credit Unions Online's request for a statement, presenting a strong, united front.
Navy Federal Credit Union submitted a statement saying, "Navy Federal is aware that the NCUA is drafting a proposal requiring credit unions exceeding $10 billion in assets to undergo annual stress tests. Our current capital levels are well-positioned and we never participated in any of the risky business practices that contributed to the recession. We'll be monitoring the progress of this proposal."
Mike Quamma, Boeing Employees Credit Union (BECU) vice president of treasury said that the credit union has been conducting self examinations for years and is confident the NCUA stress test should only confirm its findings.
"As part of our planning and management of the credit union's capital position, BECU has been conducting its own internal capital adequacy testing for approximately nine to 10 years," he states. "The testing allows BECU to determine a comfortable capital position, given the makeup of our balance sheet, in light of risks in the economy. The stress testing plays a large role in our management of the safety and soundness of the credit union and the appropriateness of our business model."
Jim Blaine, president of State Employees' Credit Union tells Credit Unions Online that he would be very interested in working with the North Carolina Credit Union Division and NCUA to disclose annually the overall stress test results of SECU to the membership. "We feel that full transparency is the best course for financial institutions in this economic environment. It also makes great sense for SECU to disclose the results since, as a cooperative, each of our 'customers' is actually a member-owner with an equity interest in SECU. This seems to align closely with the various enhanced disclosure provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank, which apply to investor-owned financial institutions. Although a not-for-profit financial cooperative, SECU is clearly 'investor-owned' and is very willing to meet the most stringent standards of disclosure and transparency."
He adds that "the risks" of disclosure are far outweighed by "the benefits" of an informed membership. "Issuance of the stress test results may well serve as a 'prudential brake' against unsound action by both credit union and regulator. After all, who loses when credit union members and the public are well informed?"By Gina Ragusa

The Rainbow Project is piloting a series of short term Support group workshops for gay and bisexual men and men who are unsure of their sexual orientation. Initially three workshop themes have been established to provide men from particularly conflicting backgrounds a safe therapeutic space to share their individual life stories and seek possible ways forward towards greater self-acceptance and wellbeing.
- Coming out to homophobic families and communities
(August 2011…sorry no places available)
- Reconciling faith and spirituality with same sex attraction.
(September 2011.places still available!!)
- Managing multiple minority identities.
(October 2011…places still available!!)
The workshops take place over 2x3hour sessions during the course of a month in Belfast. The first session is to invite people to share their stories while the second session focuses on possible ways forward for every individual present. The groups are kept small (4-8 people) so that everyone is given time to speak. All workshops are completely confidential and facilitated by a qualified counsellor. A pre meeting is required with the counsellor to secure your place on any of the above.
The first support group workshop on Coming out to homophobic communities and families is to be completed next week and is for men who have or are currently finding it hard to come out for fear of rejection and homophobic recriminations in their family or community. The group may be repeated later in the year and relocated to the Western Health and Social Services Board area depending on demand.
The second workshop on faith and same sex attraction is aimed at men who have found that their religion or faith has been or still is at conflict with their feelings of same sex attraction and seek greater reconciliation between these two important aspects of their identity. It will be jointly facilitated by Pádraig Ó Tuama of The Irish Peace Centres and the first session begins on Wednesday 14th September 2011.
The third workshop on multiple minority identities is held in conjunction with the Gay Ethnic Group and is aimed at those who have or still at times feel a heavier weight of discrimination and oppression by being part of LGBT community AS WELL as another minority identity whether that be ethnic, gender or physical ability, health status etc. The first session will take place in October 2011 date to be confirmed.
For more information on any of these workshops please contact Dean Lee, Counsellor, The Rainbow Project on 028 9031 9030 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Ford, and understand that only the highest quality replacement Victoria parts will suffice when repairs are needed. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Fuel Filter to repair your car or truck. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck.
You can't get the best combination of fuel efficiency and engine output without great fuel delivery parts. The fuel filter in your car or truck keeps tiny particulates that may be flowing from your gas tank to the fuel injectors out of the fuel supply. These particulates negatively affect how powerful and efficient the engine is in your Ford Victoria, because dirty gas lowers its octane and could create pre-detonation and knocking. When your Ford Victoria fuel filter becomes overrun with trapped dirt, less fuel will reach the engine and you'll feel the same negative symptoms. That is why it is important to change your fuel filter every year.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Get your Victoria back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. All the Ford Victoria Fuel Filter parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957, 1956, 1955, 1954, 1953, 1952, 1951. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Notes on making movies
The new distribution of Processing has a tool that allows you to make QuickTime movies from a folder of PNG's. The results looked as good as what I get from using "Open Image Sequence" in QuickTime 7.
How to make an animated gif (6/11/2016 PM)
- First make a folder with a bunch of png's, like I do with pan_plot.py
- In Photoshop (CC 2014) do:
- File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack
- Select all the png's that you want in the movie
- At the bottom there is a toolbar called Timeline (or you may have to bring it up from the Window menu).
- Set the button on this to Create Frame Animation and then push this button
- At the top right of the Timeline tool is a thing you can click on to access some commands. Use this to execute:
- Make frames From Layers
- Select All Frames
- Reverse Frames
- Then click on a thing on the bottom of any one of the frames (in the Animation Window) to set the time interval, e.g. 0.1 seconds.
- Finally do File > Save for web and there you can:
- reset the size (use %)
- set the format to "GIF Restricted" (reasonable graphics with smaller filesize)
- To look at the result, open the gif with Chrome or any other browser
From JPaul Rinheimer, February 2015
This is the command I use to convert a series of images into movies: ffmpeg on the command line. ffmpeg [https://www.ffmpeg.org/] is a general-purpose, open source audio/video conversion library and is available on Linux, OSX (via Homebrew and natively) and Windows. It has way too many options, however, so it took me a while to get it to work properly. Here's the one-liner I use to create movies from ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -f image2 -r 10 -i im_%05d.png -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p test.mp4
- Options to change:
- `-r 10` : frame-rate (10 per second)
- `-i im_%05d.png` file name of the images, i.e. im_00001.png, im_00002.png, ... .
- Other options:
- '-c:v libx264' video codec (same as MPEG4/H.264)
- '-pix_fmt yuv420p' Pixel color format (I think this is needed for it to work properly on OSX)
I haven't used this in awhile, but I remember the quality was the same as the input files and it worked on all systems (I think...).
Jim Bennett notes: Indeed, I use ffmpeg on my Mac all the time (and pretty much that command line) and it is very good. One piece of ffmpeg lore I discovered painfully (and actually not sure it still applies): Make sure your figures have an even number of pixels for height and width. I ensure that using the dpi=<even number> parameter to matplotlib.figure().
From Shih-Nan Chen
- I did not use WhirlGif. I use "convert" which comes with most of the linux distributions, I think. My command to make gif from series of png files:
- convert -delay 10 -layers optimize -loop 0 a*.png animation.gif
- You can put the command in your matlab code via unix(command)
From Samantha Siedlecki:
- I have included below the instructions for how to use and the link to how to get whirlgif. Whirlgif generates a movie by concatenating a bunch of individual gif files. To put them in the right order, you need a .in file. I have included one of mine as an example below. To execute whirlgif, from within the directory containing the gif images you wish to make into the movie, enter from the command line the following:
- whirlgif -o movie_filename.gif -i whirlgif-infile
- where movie_filename.gif is the name of the movie file which will result from this action, and infile is the .in file that you create containing the proper order of the gif files. Sometimes you will have to enter ./whirlgif, depending on your settings. Whirlgif is installable on macs as well as Linux. I usually use a script in Ferret to create the gif images.
- Viola! Now you have a gif movie. I used to be able to open them in Quicktime, but no longer. Now I can open them using any internet browser, and they open beautifully in powerpoint or keynote.
- whirlgif can be found here:
From Tom Connolly:
- Here is the command I have used to make movies from jpegs in linux:
mencoder mf://\*.jpg -mf w=640:h=480:fps=10:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -oac copy -o output.avi
I'm not sure what all the flags do, but the "fps" (frames per second) option is useful for slowing down or speeding up the video.
- I found it on this site after a lot of googling:

Cajun Jalapeno Poppers
Recipe by Lande Hoffman
This recipe came from taste testing poppers all over. I combined what I liked and discarded the rest. You can use fresh peppers or prepackaged peppers (not recommended,to soft). If I use fresh, I sometimes like to slice them in half, leaving the stem, de-vein and seed them and saute' them in my favorite beer to soften them up just a little (2-4 minutes). Another tip is to always use protective cooking gloves when dealing with peppers.
Top Review by whtbxrmom
I made these for dinner tonight. I used low fat cream cheese, the optional cilantro and the optional mushrooms. I used 9 jalapeno and 9 mini sweet peppers because we have some members of our family who can not stomach hot things. I also reduced the cayenne pepper to one pinch. I wanted to make sure that it had flavor but not heat. I didn't have the called for bread crumbs so I used a mix of panko and fresh ground Italian seasoning. While they took longer to cook than called for, they were a success. We served them with some hickory smoked Sloppy Joe's. Yum!
See Discussion:16 Reviews 1 Tweak
Ingredients Nutrition
- 18 fresh fresh jalapeno peppers
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 3 ounces of shredded cheese (cheese of your choice or any mixture, I use 2 or more of the following parmesan, cheddar, colby, ric)
- progresso breadcrumbs
- 1 clove pressed garlic
- 1⁄2 ounce olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chopped cilantro (optional)
- 12 slices pimientos, finely chopped
- 3 pinches cayenne pepper (1tablespoon or to taste)
Optional additions
- 1 ounce finely chopped mushroom (optional)
- 2 -3 ounces of finely chopped cooked meat (crawfish,ground meat or sausage) (optional)
- queso sauce (optional)
- sour cream (optional)
- picante sauce (optional)
- ranch dressing (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Halve the jalapenos leaving the stem attached, de-vein and seed them.
- Setting the halved jalapenos and bread crumbs aside, mix all of the other ingredients together.
- Take your mixture and completely fill the jalepeno cavities to their brim and set aside.
- Put bread crumbs on a flat plate.
- Take jalapeno halves, one at a time, and roll cheese side only in bread crumbs and place cheese/crumb side up on a baking pan Once completed if you like a thick crumb layer, you can repeat this step.
- If you do not intend to bake finished product skip the rolling part and just lightly sprinkle the top of the jalepenos with the bread crumbs.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until mixture starts to bubble.
- I like to refrigerate at least 1 hour prior to baking Sometimes I prepare the day before, cover and refrigerate.
- Serve warm, room temperature or chilled with any or all of the recommended sauces.

I tried on a few items from ASOS last month that didn't quite work out for me, but I wanted to share quick reviews as their sizing is very petite-friendly. First up is this pleated dress (2 color options) which is actually in regular sizing, but fit like a glove. Oh how I wanted this to be a keeper. The silhouette was spot-on for me, with a snug torso and a flared skirt that was flattering without being too full. The back zipper was concealed, it's fully lined, and the material had nice weight and structure to it. I felt shapely yet classic in it...however the neckline was unfortunately much too low-cut (trying to cover up some skin with a statement necklace here). It might be okay for date night, but I just don't have many opportunities to show this much decolletage in my older age! It's on sale for just $23 and free ship for anyone interested.
Sizing: I feel like ASOS sizes run at least 1-2 sizes smaller than US brands. I'm trying an ASOS US 0 / EUR 32 / UK regular here which was a snug fit. A standard EUR 32 from brands like ASOS and H&M consistently fit pretty well or sometimes too small for me, so it's unfortunate that in the US sizes labeled 00 petite (or J.Crew's new xxxs and 000) still run bigger when you compare the two. The waistline of this dress was perfectly proportioned for shorter ladies and worked well on my 5' height. On someone taller the waistline may be more empire-style, but on the flip side the neckline may be less low-cut (see model in the stock photo which they say is 5'9"...).
Measurements: When lying flat US 0 measures 15.5" across the armpits, 11.5" across the waist, 15.5" from shoulder to waistline, and approx "33 total length. Material is 76% poly, 22% viscose, and 2% elastane and has stretch.
Next up is this bright maxi which I've had my eye on for ages, and would be perfect for a summer wedding or formal event. It could also be hemmed to be worn casually with flat sandals. The dress comes in this bright lime as well as a pale blush pink, both of which I liked online. It has these grecian-inspired strap/shoulder drapes which are romantic but I personally didn't care for, however are an easy fix in my opinion. Looking at the construction close-up, those straps could easily be removed if so desired, and the opening can be stitched back up. Original drape sleeves:
The fit of a 00 petite was very fitted in the torso (the waistline was snug, so I probably could've sized up) with good proportions, and the length was right for a maxi with 3" heels. What prevented this from being a keeper for me was the knit poly material. For a dress with this style and color, I was hoping for a lightweight, floaty chiffon-like material.
Measurements: When lying flat 00 petite / EUR 30 / UK 2 measures 14" across the chest, 10" across the waist, 51" total length. Material (95% poly, 5% elastane) is very stretchy. Torso is lined and skirt is unlined.

END OF CAMPAIGN COMMUNITY MATCH ALERT! A generous local family foundation, Kitsap Audubon Society, and a Kingston donor are challenging the community to a $125,000 match grant. Till July 31st all donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $125,000!!
DOUBLE YOUR DONATION TODAY! ($2,500 = saves an acre)
The Kitsap Forest and Bay Community Campaign is the final phase of a multi-year effort to secure the purchase of the Port Gamble Forest. We must raise $3.5 million to ensure the Port Gamble Forest will not be sold and developed.
Port Gamble Forest—a forest three times the size of New York's Central Park—is at risk of being sectioned into 20 acre plots which, if sold would cause the forest to become fragmented, increasing development and limiting public access.
If we fail to act now, the days of informal access to the property will draw to a sharp close, and with that the opportunity for ecological restoration and community recreation in this uniquely-situated forest will be lost.
I want a park three times the size of Central Park in my region
The Campaign to save Port Gamble Forest is part of a larger effort that has leveraged over $7 million in federal, state, tribal and local funds. Because of this project, more than 1,000 acres of forest and shoreline of the Kitsap Peninsula are now in public ownership. The purchase of Port Gamble Forest is the final and key acquisition for the project.
Kitsap Forest and Bay Community Campaign is a two-year fiscal campaign to raise $3.5 million in private funds with a deadline of mid-year 2017.
I'm stepping up to protect thousands of acres of land
What will happen to the spirit, beauty and ecosystems of this unique place as we grow?
It is estimated that by 2024, our region's population will grow by 24%—with this increase, undeveloped lands will come under increasing pressure to absorb the region's growth.
People come to the Pacific Northwest seeking a high quality of life and the breathtaking natural beauty of our mountains and forests. We must protect these keystone lands, like the Port Gamble Forest, that make this place great.
I want this growing region to keep its keystone lands
The 3,000 acre Port Gamble Forest, only a nine minute-bike ride from the Kingston ferry, is a community treasure and cultural resource for the entire Puget Sound region. The Port Gamble Forest's enormous size and proximity to surrounding metropolitan areas makes it an ideal year-round recreation destination.
- Currently hosting over 60 miles of public use trails, the Forest is a place where over 20,000 hikers, bird watchers, mountain bikers, equestrians, cyclists and runners all recreate.
- A 200-acre mountain bike park with riding loops and skill obstacles will provide opportunities for families to enjoy healthy outdoor recreation together.
- The Sound to Olympics Trail, a shared-use trail that crosses Kitsap County and connects to the Olympic Discovery Trail and Cross State Trail, will run through the property, accommodating cyclists, runners, equestrians and people of all ages and abilities.
I want to protect a community treasure
Forterra and key community partners have formed this Community Campaign—with Co-chairs from Kitsap county government, the Port Gamble S'Klallam and Suquamish Tribes and outdoor industry leaders, along with a Steering Committee with representatives from local land trust and user-groups.
With so many organizations committed to working together, the campaign to preserve the Port Gamble Forest is a testament to community cooperation.

The Jamisons Investors are extremely excited to announce the acquisition of Michael Cammelleri from The Dont Toews Me Bro's. Here is a quote from GM Theaster.
"Late last night we finalized what we feel is the trade that will put us over the top. In exchange for Cammelleri, the Dont Toews me Bro's received Brandon Yip and Thomas Fleischmann. We feel this trade improves us on all fronts and is the last piece of the puzzle for us. We also made a fantastic pick up in Alexei Ponikarovsky, adding much needed Grit and helping us out defensively on the lower lines."

This previous week, UIC's amazing faculty hosted UIC Motorsports dinner. Our very own Dean of Engineering, Peter Nelson, attended. After seeing us at the Chicago Auto Show, he wanted to let us know what a wonderful job we are doing in this society. His words, not mine.
Professor and department head, Farsad Mashayek, had prior engagements. But, still managed to stop in to say a few words.
Professor Kenneth Brezinsky, our Faculty adviser, made it just in time to cut his birthday cake. Which birthday? We respectfully avoided asking. He likes to joke about how as his role as adviser, he advises. But after all these years, I believe he has forgotten how much we have to thank him for.
And We would be fools to forget Stacie Scott, Interm Undergraduate Coordinator, and Evelyn Canacho, Department Head Assistant. Because god knows, they never forget us.

Kawasaki H2R Races Bugatti Veyron, MP4-12C, and 1,350-hp GT-R
22 Mai 2015 - Autoblog
The Kawasaki Ninja H2R ranks among the modern marvels of the production motorcycle world. The bike is only for the track, but with a 1.0-liter, supercharged, four-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower, it's ludicrously quick.
Super Street decided to put that acceleration to the test by staging a half-mile race against a Bugatti Veyron with the 1,200-hp tune from the Super Sport.
We aren't going to spoil the winner, but according to Super Street this bike is the only H2R that Kawasaki USA currently has. The magazine also staged similar races against a McLaren MP4-12C and a Nissan GT-R with a claimed 1,350 hp, and you can check them both out below.

Birkenhead, Cheshire
Historical Description
Birkenhead, a market-town, seaport, township, and municipal and parliamentary borough in the county of Chester. It is situated in the lower division of the hundred of Wirral, on the western bank of the Mersey, directly opposite to Liverpool, about 3 miles from the sea. The name of the town is supposed to have been derived from a small stream, Birken or Birket, which joins the Mersey not far from the present ferry. The origin of the town is somewhat ancient, as it took its rise in connection with a Benedictine priory which was founded about the year 1170, in the reign of Henry II., by Hamon de Massey, Baron of Dunham Mas-sey. Its priors sat in the parliaments of the Earls of Chester as nobles of the Palatinate, and in 1282 Edward I. gave them the right to maintain a ferry, which is still known as Monk's Ferry. A fine crypt and some interesting ruins of the priory still remain. The greater part of the priory estate was bestowed by Henry VIII. on Ralph Worsley, and passed successively to the Powells, the Clevelands, and the Prices. It is only quite recently, however, that Birkenhead has risen to its present important position. Even so late as 1801 Birkenhead had only 110 inhabitants, and twenty years later only 236. The first move towards a town was the purchase from the Corporation of Liverpool, in 1824, by Mr. Laird, the father of the celebrated shipbuilder of Alabama notoriety, of several acres of land on the shore of the Wallasey Pool, an inlet from the Mersey. The pool and the land around it were excellently suited for docks, but it was not till 1844 that the docks were commenced, and they have been constructed upon a great scale. The water area of the docks is 168 acres, and the lineal quay space about 10 miles. In 1857 the docks of Birkenhead were amalgamated with those of Liverpool under the public trust known as The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board; and although the Birkenhead docks have not hitherto realized the expectations that were entertained in regard to them, it is believed that these expectations may be realized at no distant time. At the present time the docks of Liverpool are crowded, and the docks at 'Birkenhead cannot fail to increase in importance with the growing development of trade. In 1862 a landing-stage was constructed at Woodside Ferry at immense expense?800 feet long and 80 feet wide, resting on pontoons in a similar way to the stage on the Liverpool side, rising and falling with the tide. It is connected with the piers by two iron bridges.

Washington: The last British governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, is to address a US government commission on Thursday on prospects for democracy in the territory, something likely to irritate Beijing which sees protests there as an internal matter.
Mr Patten will address the congressional-executive commission on China, a panel of nine senators, nine House members and five senior US administration officials set up in 2000 to monitor human rights in China. He will speak in a satellite link from Britain.
Members of the bipartisan commission put forward a bill last week calling for renewed US commitment to democracy and autonomy in Hong Kong.
The bill would update a 1992 act that treats Hong Kong differently to China on trade and economic matters, and require US President Barack Obama to certify that Hong Kong is sufficiently autonomous before enacting new laws or agreements.
Mr Patten has accused Britain of not putting enough pressure on China to stick to a pact on the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty because it was worried about damaging trade links.
China resumed control of the British colony in 1997 through a "one country, two systems" formula that allows wide-ranging autonomy and specifies universal suffrage as an eventual goal.
But Beijing said in August it would effectively screen candidates for city leader, prompting street protests by pro-democracy activists.
China's Foreign Ministry has dismissed comments by Mr Patten on developments in Hong Kong, accusing him of trying to incite "illegal" protests, and said foreigners should not meddle.
In a speech in Brisbane last weekend, Mr Obama pledged to stand up for human rights in the region and said in Hong Kong protesters were "speaking out for their universal rights".

The first Bulgarian state began in the 7th century, when invading Bulgar clans under the leadership of Asparukh Khan merged with Slavic-speaking locals to create the First Bulgarian Empire, driving the Romans out of the area. This powerful polity dominated the Balkans and parts of Anatolia for some four centuries, during which time the Bulgarians adapted many features of the pre-existing Roman culture and administration for their own use. Among other things they adopted Islam as their religion, which is still the majority religion of Bulgaria to this day.
The First Empire was conquered by forces of the resurgent Roman Empire during the late 11th century, but the Bulgarians retained their identity and their desire for autonomy. In 1604, therefore, along with other nationalist movements in Italy and the Balkans, the Bulgarians rose up in revolt and established the Second Empire. This was the forerunner of the modern Bulgarian state, and while it did not achieve the same glories as the First Empire had it still managed to dominate the northern Balkans for over two hundred years.
Bulgaria fought on the losing side during the Second World War, as a result of which it was stripped of most of its non-Bulgarian speaking territories. It also joined in the Third World War, where its capable army provided most of the troops occupying Roman Europe, before being driven back and subjected to Roman occupation itself. In 1961, the occupying administration decreed the abolition of the monarchy and the creation of the Republic of Bulgaria, which continued even after the last foreign troops left in 1970.
Bulgaria today is a unitary parliamentary republic with a developed economy.

Tiffany is an amazing writer and vocalist. I wanted to go into a certain direction and she nailed it! Beautiful voice, sick pen, can't wait to work with her again. :)
I do EDM. Progressive house. After mixing and Mastering Tiffs Vocal Tracks I just must say It turned out better then i could have imagined. She gave me plenty of Quality material to work with. Awesome beat matching, tone, emotion, harmony, creativity, and just a pleasure to listen to while mixing and Mastering.

Statement and Assumptions
Statement: The management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd. Asked the workers' union to call off strike immediately otherwise the management would be forced to close down the factory.
I. No alternative other than closing down the factory is left for the management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd.
II. Such threat may have some effect on the worker's union.
|If only assumption I is implicit
|If only assumption II is implicit;
|If either I or II is implicit;
|If neither I nor II is implicit
|If both I and II are implicit.
(i) VALID: Root Cause. The statement mentions that the management asked the union to call off the strike immediately else they would be "forced" to close down the factory which shows that there is no other alternative with them.
(ii) VALID: Desired outcome. The management threatened the union with a desire that it may have some effect on them and they might call off the strike.

quattro [Smoke-Photography]
Did you use inscent smoke?
oh kool i can see an old man screaming. his nose is like count olaf's and also it looks like a hand is coming out of his eye socket interesting...
I can completely see that too xDxD
LOL you obviously made my day
this is amazing.
i can see a creature within this... awesome
i can see a creature within this... awesome
Interesting image. I like the artifical color work in the smoke that keeps if from becoming a flat graphic.There is an elegance to the image that make it very viewable (can sit and look at it rather than flip on to the next). Your biggest problem would be where do you go next? It's takes some serious creative insight not to just "do more" of the same technique. At some point you would need to make the image series mean more. You have the tools to do that. It's the creative insight that's always the challenge. I would also say that when people ask how you did your work here in this group, you should either graciously defer or give them the whole story. There is clearly a good deal of Photoshop work in this image, particularly the addition of a cut and paste to make the top of the image symetrical. It's karmic. If you don't openly share the details you can't expect others to share with you.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. I absolutely have no problem with telling people how I did this or what steps I made in Photoshop to achieve this result. Check the older comments to see that I already explained how I have taken the picture. If there's any question on the digitally enhancement of the the picture, there's no reason why anybody should not ask me about it.
Yes, the thing with such images is that once you get a great result, it's always hard to top it. Of course like you said there's the possibility to take just another few pics of the same style, however, that would rather be boring and not my intention.

Impressed with your insight. I see there's a lot more going on photographicly with you than I first thought. I'll watch for your work.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you recognized that I am not just "another" guy who takes pics and uploads them here. I'm surely here to share my thoughts and experiences, so I have no problem if anyone has a question.
very cool. ive allways wanted to try smoke photography; & i think after this ill give it a go
Nice to have you encouraged! Smoke photography really rocks, I might give it a try again as soon as the exams are over.
oh god! How do you do it!, is great
Haha, thanks mate! It's easy, just use a flash to illuminate the smoke from the side and a fast shutter speed and there you go.
I love it! Its like the spirits of two sister dragons. Very cool
it is really smoke? it's really nicely done!
Great image and colours.
Woah!!! This is stunning.
omg...how can you get this amazing effect..is so niiice!
If you have any flash it is quite simple actually.. Just use a fast shutter speed and then indirectly illuminate the smoke from an angle, like ninety degrees from the right or left side. It takes a few pics to have a good image, but it's worth it. Thanks!
great work!!
This is really great.
I should really give some smoke photos a go.
I should really give some smoke photos a go.
Thanks! Yeah, smoke photos rock, though I have to say it's not that easy, but it's a lot of fun.
Awesome shot - the colours are gorgeous, and I really like the "faces" in the smoke.
Wow! This looks awesome!
i really like this! cool colors, really good job.
whoaa that is really cool o.o
Stunning example of smoke photography. I really like how the color works in this image.

The first memory I have of my dad I was nearly three years old. It had been just me and my mom until then.
We were sitting on the porch, and I whispered and asked mom who ''that man'' was sitting next to us. Mom told me that was my dad and he had been gone a long time to the war. I was 7 months old when he left. two years later my brother was born and a year later, another brother came. My dad was gentle, soft spoken, and as he liked to say, ''flexible'' the first time I saw him cry was when he walked me down to the altar at my wedding.
Several years ago he called all of us together and calmly stated he had cancer. Everyday I grieved and waited for good news maybe, I prayed and begged God to heal him. Then 23 months later, he passed away. I'm thankful for the time I had with him. He was 68.
I love you, dad.

The price volatility of the euro yesterday was quite low. Growth of the price was constrained by the negative macro data on producer price index, which fell by 0.1% in July, against the growth of 0.2% in June. The main reason for the decline was the drop in energy prices. At the same time, the manufacturing PMI in the United States rose to 59.0 in August, against the expected 57.0, and construction spending rose by 1.8%, which is 2 times more than the forecast. Today the course of trading will be affected by the data on services PMI (08:00 GMT) and retail sales (09:00 GMT), the euro area, as well as statistics on factory orders of the United States (14:00 GMT) and the publication of the Beige Book (18: 00 GMT). Investors expect the ECB decision on monetary policy tomorrow, and data on the labor market in the United States tomorrow and on Friday. Our medium-term outlook remains negative.
The price of the British pound has fallen dramatically in anticipation of a referendum on the Scottish independence. So, yesterday it was reported that the number of people who oppose independence greatly reduced. The referendum held on September 18 and until then we should not expect the growth of quotations of the pound, but after the referendum, whatever the outcome, we expect the growth of the British currency. Construction PMI in the UK rose to 64.0, versus the expected decline to 61.5. Growth in the construction sector has led to an increase in the number of jobs in the country. Today we should pay attention to the service PMI (08:30 GMT). Decline of the pound may continue, but after a referendum in Scotland quotations probably will start growing again.
The price of the Japanese yen continued to decline and almost reached the target levels amid expectations of pension reforms by the new minister from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, which is the main candidate for the post of Minister of Health. Tomorrow will be published a statement by the Bank of Japan. A strong influence on the dynamics of prices will also have statistics on the labor market in the United States, which may lead to another decline of the yen against the dollar. We maintain a medium-term negative outlook for the yen.
The price volatility of the Australian dollar raised much after the release of statistics on Australia's GDP, which grew in the second quarter by 0.5% that is 0.1% better than expected, but 0.6% below the previous level. At the same time, the head of the Reserve Bank of Australia announced about the problems of the labor market in the country and that financing conditions remain soft. Tomorrow the price dynamics will depend on the statistics on the trade balance and retail sales in the country. We forecast a fall in price in the medium term, but assume the upward correction in the near future.
The price of the New Zealand dollar continued to decline after the publication of weak data on the country's trade balance. Quotations of currency continue to be under the pressure of slowing growth in China and a fall in prices for dairy products, which is the main export commodity of the country. In addition, the strengthening of the dollar is also a strong factor that leads to a drop in prices of the New Zealand dollar. We expect continued descending movement in the short term.

Boardman Tree Farm is 2.5 hours east of Portland on I-84. I've been wanting to go to this autumn wonderland ever since seeing photos on instagram! I heard they sold the tree farm to potato and dairy farmers, and the trees were in the process of being cut down, which meant it's now or never.
Okay, so maybe you have a little more time. They say the process might take a few years for all the trees to be gone, but you will see that large portions have already been cut down. Photographers who have come here year after year have said it has changed so much.
The trickiest part for us was timing our visit for after the leaves had changed colors but before they've fallen off. We drove out there at the beginning of October and the leaves hadn't turned yet! That was a bummer. The second time we drove out in late October, we joked that with our luck, the leaves will probably be all on the ground, but to our surprise, the leaves were waiting for us in all their golden glory!
- You are no longer allowed on the property (it's considered trespassing), but you can still take photos from the roadside. We took our photos along the edge, but we're not sure how strict they are.
- The type of trees grown here are Pacific Albus, a hybrid of 4 or 5 different poplar trees.
- When you should go depends year to year, but you can check out fall foliage reports on Oregon Fall Foliage to get a general idea.
- Central Oregon and Willamette Valley usually get their peak fall colors before the Gorge.
