I knew it had to be an Americanized version of the soup, but didn't realize that the flavor of galangal was so distinctive from ginger. Doubt I could ever find fresh galangal in Salt Lake. I do have to say that although I haven't been to Thailand, I've eaten a lot of Thai food in Salt Lake, D.C. , L.A. and San Francisco and Tyler Florence's version was good, even if not really authentic. I ate it two days in a row with no regrets!

White Poplar, your five spice tofu did look delicious.

Tom Kha always contain coconut milk, while Tom Yum almost always do not -a few recipes from some regions do ask a bit of coconut milk, but never as the base for the broth like for Tom Kha. Gai means chicken, which is the most common meat in the Tom Kha soup, while Goong means shrimp, which is the most common protein for the Tom Yum soup.

This recipe looks to me to be a bastardized version of Tom Kha Gai, replacing the more ubiquitous ginger for the harder to find Galangal. If you want to be 'authentic' then I suggest skipping Galangal entirely if you couldn't find it rather than using ginger -which to me taste nothing like galangal.

But hey, the bottom line is if it tastes good to you then why not?

Secret Original Invisible Solid
Secret Original Invisible Solid Reviews
Good enoughI don't really have a sweating issue, thank goodness, and I have a limited budget. Since I'm always on the hunt for a good deal, I choose this product. I like that they have an okay variety of scents, and it provides good sweat reduction. I work out a lot and I feel that this deoderant is adequate. I will continue to purchase it in the future. — 6 years agoLittleBunny | 545 reviews

Mediocre deodorantTen years ago this was adequate deodorant, but today we have so many superior deodorants to choose from. I find the scent of Secret Original (powder fresh) rather boring, and the performance was not outstanding. They sometimes left white stains in dark clothes. — 9 years, 1 month agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

Cheap and EffectiveI use once a day or every other day, it's very long lasting and affordable. I was using a Dove deodorant before this, which didn't do anything for me. Once I tried this, I have not used any other deodorant. It goes on sheer but is not invisible. If you wear dark clothing then you still have to be careful. — 6 years, 5 months agoSubCulture | 332 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

We need to replace our Absolute ixbrl accounts software, after bad experiences.
Any suggestions for a very simple easily-editable replacement for inputting from final TB for up to 25 companies ?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Look no further than VT+! Download the demo but its pretty much the industry standard for most small practices.
Or try Comprehensive Accounts (http://www.comprehensivesoftware.co.uk/index.html)
You can download a trial to see how it fits with your way of working.
Entry is keyed from a final TB, but is easily amendable for changes, with straightforward data input.
How about DataTracks or
How about DataTracks, Digita, Caseware or CoreFiling? Many more options and their details are also available on our Suppliers' page.
Most of the guys on here use VT & Taxcalc I looked at both but wanted something more as was wanting a fully intergrated solution with good Practice Management functionality.
After 20 years of using Sage products I switched to Digita and must say I am nothing but impressed with it.
As inventions go its up there with Fire, Sky + & Plastic Snow Shovels.
The accounts package is excellant and is available as standalone but for time saving the full integration suite is superb, defo worth a look at.
100% customer satisfaction in the ICAEW survey. Very cost effective. Need I say more?
Sage is not as integrated as would like
The Sage iXBRL "solution" can be very time consuming and challenging...
1. Create iXBRL accounts in Sage Accounts Production (SAP)
2. Manually retype P&L into Sage Corporation Tax programme
3. When it comes to filing have to navigate to find the SAP-produced iXBRL accounts to attach to the CT600 online iXBRL filing.
So much for expecting benefits from using both Accounts and CT600 software from the same software house! (**)
I've missed out all the other hassle of Sage - hidden / unintuitive routines to get tax computations correct - that's why, with Sage, it is necessary to produce tax comps in Excel first, then see if Sage can come up with the same correct answer as to tax liability (will it claim WDAs twice? Will it fail to claim WDAs? Which hidden box in the software interface hasn't been completed or ticked?).
(**) Problem I find across many Sage products is that there's a rag-bag of acquired products written under different disciplines and Sage has it's hands full getting them consistent and integrated. In some Sage programmes the date has been YYYY format for the year, in others it's been YY format. With iXBRL accounts in SAP at last we have a proper user-friendy interface for choosing notes inclusion (or exclusion) - but only in the iXBRL accounts - still a horror story in the statutory / abbreviated accounts to get chosen / correct notes included because of a horrible interface with complicated computer code to be contended with. The horror story of SAP has resulted in incorrect disclosures (too much information disclosed) in some Abbreviated Accounts filed at Companies House.
I also use Absolute
I should make it clear that I have no problem with the Absolute software, which I believe is based on David Forbes' , just with the support.
I also use Absolute software and when I have needed their support, my experience has been good - speedy and generally my queries have been resolved straight away.
Last year I was preparing the capital allowances computations for a sole trader. I needed to make a private use restriction and discovered that only whole percentages could be used. I wanted to have a 2.5% restriction. So I rang support. They confirmed my findings. Within one day they provided me with a patch so that I could do what I wanted. That patch was subsequently included in their next update.
Yes, it's fairly trivial and one could argue that it should already have been available, but the fact is that Absolute did respond speedily, and that's what support is all about.
Manually retype P&L into Sage Corporation Tax programme
Why do you manually retype the P&L? Use the export/import:
From SAP, export the data and the import wizard will automatically start and guide you through.
If you're unsure about how to export the data or how the import wizard works, please refer to the Link Guide - you'll find it in the /Docs folder where the CT software is installed and on the DVD. It covers the SAP and CT side.
It really is very straightforward and saves so much re-keying time. If you still stuck, contact the helpful support team at Sage.
VT Accounts with BTC...
...We moved from Iris to VT (final accounts) with BTC (for database and Tax) around 6 months ago. Best decision we have made!
VT without question but Digita for corporation tax
VT is excellent. Not as pretty to look at as some programs but works well. I have used it for over 15 years.
Clients also like free version. Then it is so easy to prepare accounts.
Host the data file on Dropbox and then there is no more sending memory sticks around or fearing the client will not restore the data.
I use Digita Co Tax along side. Again, used Digita for several years. A little more expensive than others but outstanding products. That said I still use VT over their accounts module.
I trialed BTC. It is very good and the helpline was good, but Digita will handle almost everything and I felt BTC needed to get a little better. That was a year ago, so perhaps worth a look now.
Absolute Accounting
I've been using Absolute Accounting's S/.ware for nearly 3 yrs having switched from PTP. I use accounts & Protax [SA & CT] is linked up using the Client DB. It is based on Forbes and it has come leaps and bounds in the last 3 yrs.
Bemused at Terry's comment re support, I have only found them to be excellent, very responsive [quicker than any I have come across in more than 30yrs] and resolve quickly, even coming onto my PC on the odd occasion to actually see the problem.
Only real gripe I have had is over LLP accounts which can't be sent online but as it was only our business who was LLP converting to Ltd last April resolved it albeit it wasn't the reason for the change ;-)
Other modules available incl practice man't & Co Sec'l
iXBRL software
I use Accounts Production from PTP. Seems to work well for me and is inexpensive.
I file manually. It really works and it's safe.
I would suggest that you take a look at http://www.simplyaccounts.net.
Feel free to check out Keytime. We offer two Accounts packages and I will be happy to understand your needs more and perhaps arrange a demo of the software?
Anybody using CCH?
Integrated accounts and tax software
I am thinking of moving from Iris to Absolute - any thoughts,tips,experiences,warnings etc much appreciated
Iris to Absolute
Hi Brian
I moved from PTP to Absolute when Absolute were just launching so it was bit tough but their support was excellent and I got there. The product has matured a lot in the last 3yrs or so and in my experience [30+ yrs involvement with IT] their support is second to none, you can call in but I usually email as they typically respond within the hour and on the odd occasion when they haven't been able to replicate or fully understand the issue have come on to my PC to see it. Solutions and/or fixes/patches where required are quick on delivery.
Iris to absolute
thanks,really helpful.Absolute appears to work on similar inegrated lines to Iris,with 'once only' inputting of raw data finding its way to accounts prep and at the same time personal/partnership/company tax returns.Am I on the right lines with this assumption ?

The County of Perth is partnering with Environment Canada to expand its CANWARN Weather Spotter network in the Region. Building on the success of last year's workshops, the County hopes to strengthen Environment Canada's weather spotter network in the area. Two sessions are being offered on Tuesday, April 25th at Perth County Paramedic Headquarters. A daytime session is being held for local officials, and an evening public session is SOLD OUT with over 70 participants.
"CANWARN volunteers are trained to look for clues in the sky as to which storms may produce damaging weather. They can also report important information on hail size and any damage that has resulted from the passage of a storm." says Environment Canada's Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Geoff Coulson. "They can send in their reports directly to the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre through an unlisted, toll-free phone number, a special email address, Twitter or through a local ham radio network if they are a ham radio operator."
Information from all of these sources is monitored by the Weather Centre 24/7. Reports received by CANWARN volunteers often play an integral role in the decision to issue or update a warning bulletin for a given area and specific mention is often made of the type of information received by a storm spotter within the text of the warning bulletin.
"The training covers the basics of thunderstorm formation, what differentiates a severe from a non-severe thunderstorm, the types of damage severe thunderstorms can produce, what to watch for in the sky, what to report to the Storm Prediction Centre and a series of safety tips" adds Dave Colvin, Perth County's Emergency Management Coordinator.
"Originating in 1987 as a program with amateur radio operators, there are over 6,000 volunteers province-wide. We still have strong representation from the amateur radio operators, but increasing numbers are coming in from the Red Cross, emergency services, municipalities, conservation authorities and the general public," says Coulson.
The media are invited to attend either event. Geoff Coulson and other officials will be available for interviews.[hc1]
Date: Tuesday, April 25th – 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm - 7:30 pm until 9:30 pm
Location: Perth County Paramedic Headquarters - 480 Douro Street, Stratford
Contact: Dave Colvin, Emergency Management Coordinator
Email: email@example.com
Mobile: (519) 301-3586

UK retailer Game has spilt the beans on GTAV's release window confirming the leaked spring 2013 release window.
The Game branch of Brighton tweeted a picture that has since been removed but advertises the game for pre-order. The images included are two new pictures of a female police officer arresting a woman and the next is a man with a rifle sitting on a quad bike. The third picture is the one we saw last week with the news that Rockstar was going to reveal lots of GTAV information.
Though the Tweet says spring 2013, Games website still has it listed at "TBC 2013". But with news coming in November, the official release window should be revealed soon. And Analog Addiction will be there to report it.

ServiceThis was our third Collette tour and we will be booking another soon, probably to South Dakota. Taking to your reps over the phone is a real pleasure.
TourThe rain forest (first of two days) was not worth putting in the schedule. Sorry the ride on bus lecture person was BORING. The other inclusions were very good.

I'm trying to clean out my CSS file, and bootstrap / font awesome have a load of stuff like:
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #995E63;
*background-color: #003bb3;
What is the *background-color for? I've tried googling it, but can't seem to find anything (I'm just wondering if its safe to remove)
The site is designed to only work with IE9 and more (and FF/Chrome/Safari), but just wanna make sure I'm not gonna break it for any of those by removing it
IE6 and 7 will recognize the second declaration, so it's targeted at them. The other browsers will ignore it. So if IE < 8 is not an issue, then just remove that stuff. No fairies will die or anything. (Indeed, they will prolly rejoice. )
Brill thanks - thats what I was hoping to hear
If you are supporting IE7 and under then the thing you have to be careful of is when the "*propertyname" is over-riding a rule that IE6 and 7 don't understand and removing the rule would leave the original rules in place which would then break IE7 and under.
In your snippet above its just changing one background color for another so it may be a fallback for ie7/6 where other browsers may be getting transparency, text-shadow or something else that could render text invisible in IE7 and under (e.g. if you have white text with a black text shadow you will just get white text on a white background in ie7 and under and see nothing
Thanks for the reply. I'm actually just gonna bring up an alert for people using < IE9, and tell them to get a "decent" browser This is a brand new site - so I don't have any existing visitors to annoy with that hehe
It may be a brand new site, but that doesn't mean your users and/or target audience are ABLE to get a "decent" browser - workplace rules may preclude some one from going above IE8 (the company I used to work for is still using XP and is planning on doing so for a couple more years yet) or installing an alternate browser (another organization has security sweeps running regularly which removed all but the "standard" installs.
A better approach is just to give them a "dumbed down" version of the site which may not be as pretty, but is still functional.

Occasionally, over the last several years, I've posted a list of downside risks to economic growth — and here is another one. Currently my forecast is still for sluggish and choppy growth, but I think there are reasons to expect US economic growth to pickup in the next year or two, perhaps to trend growth. As I noted last month in "Two Reasons to expect Economic Growth to Increase," residential investment is now a tailwind for the economy, and the drag from state and local government cutbacks is mostly behind us.
There are always many downside risks (meteor strikes, major terrorist attack, war somewhere — possibly with Iran), but I think these are the most probable downside risks:
The European financial crisis: The European crisis has been threatening to spill over into the US for several years. Looking back, I was writing about Greece, Ireland and Spain sovereign debt issues in 2009. This year the recession in Europe is hitting US exports, but so far there is little financial contagion.
The European situation could spin out of control at any time. Currently the unemployment rate is 25.1 percent in both Spain and Greece, and that is politically unsustainable. There are decisions to made soon regarding Greece (another round of financial help) and Spain (when will they ask for a bailout?) — and also about fiscal union and easing back on austerity.
The economic slowdown in China: The recession in Europe has spilled over into China, and has led to fears of a sharp slowdown.
Growth in China's gross domestic product fell to 7.4 percent in the third quarter compared with a year earlier, China's National Bureau of Statistics said Thursday, down from 7.6 percent in the second quarter and the weakest since the beginning of 2009. The seventh consecutive deceleration reflected a combination of weak demand from abroad, flagging investment at home, and insufficient spending by China's households to pick up the slack.
Data for September showed some signs of stabilization. Industrial output growth rose to 9.2 percent year-over-year, from 8.9 percent in August. Exports also bounced back, up 9.9 percent year-over-year in September, after 2.7 percent in the previous month. And Chinese refineries processed a record high amount of crude oil, 7 percent more than a year earlier.
China reports GDP on a year-over-year basis (the US reports an annualized rate quarterly). A sharp slowdown in China might lead to a higher trade deficit with the US — and also might reveal some financial issues in China. As Warren Buffett said "It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked."
Of course a slowdown in China might lead to lower commodity prices, and that would help many sectors in the US.
The Fiscal Slope: This is commonly called the "fiscal cliff," but it is more of a slope. This refers to several federal tax increases and spending cuts that are scheduled to happen at the beginning of 2013. This includes ending the Bush-era tax cuts, ending the temporary payroll tax reduction, ending extended unemployment benefits, and some large budget cuts mostly for defense spending. No one expect this to be resolved before the election, but after the election this could become a significant issue. This doesn't have to be resolved immediately — policymakers could wait a few months — but this probably has to be resolved fairly early next year.
My assumption is that some sort of reasonable agreement will be reached and the fiscal slope will only have a minor impact on economic growth in 2012. My guess could be wrong, and policymakers might not be able to reach a deal.
Note: There is also the possibility of stronger than expected growth next year. This could lead to the Federal Reserve slowing or even stopping QE3 — but I think that would be considered a strong positive. Right now, sluggish growth with some pickup in 2013, seems most likely.

The British actor introduces a hotline which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths can call in time of crisis.
Daniel Radcliffe wants the LGBTQ youths to know that they are not alone in this world. In a new PSA, the "Harry Potter" star introduces Trevor Project which main goal is to prevent suicide and help lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth in crisis.
"If you're feeling helpless or hopeless, there's always a safe place to turn," the British actor says in the video, introducing a free and confidential hotline which youths can call anytime. "You can talk to someone 24 hours a day," he adds, before closing it with "Be proud of who you are."
Speaking to MTV about supporting the cause, Radcliffe said, "It's something I've always been quite passionate about. Because I grew up around gay men, it was always a natural thing to me. It was never something I ever gave a second thought to. ...And now I am in a position where I can help an amazing thing like the Trevor Project."
"There are about 160 people in total who work around the clock, and that number is obviously growing over time. It is an incredible thing," he said further. "I was talking to one of the [volunteers], who said, 'I hate the fact that this needs to exist.' But it's so important that it does."
More about the organization can be found at TheTrevorProject.org.

The Action5!
The sonic mad scientists at Electro Harmonix have done it again! Not content to rest on the laurels of industry-leading effects like the Memory Man, Big Muff Pi and Holy Grail, EHX has returned with a new classic. Despite what the name may suggest, this pedal has nothing to do with the mid-'90s kid-fad involving round cardboard chips. The POG takes your regular old guitar (or any instrument for that matter) and adds one or two octaves of sound above or one octave below, with a set of 8 sliding controls that mix and detune the tones and control the internal Low Pass Filter. Sound confusing? Here's the skinny: Take your six-string guitar and make it shimmer like The Byrds 12-string jangle, get a classic hollow body bass guitar tone, lay down some pulsing pipe organ or just start fiddling and create your own mind-blowing mix. From subtle beauty to over-the-top mayhem, the POG is the most exciting effect I have heard in years. This incredibly diverse silver box of perfection already is being snatched up by the likes of Wilco and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs and is destined to be a classic!

Davis: Don't close the book on education
With all that's heaped upon parents and teachers, educational assistance is needed and appreciated. From preschool to college prep, numerous options and opportunities abound.

Yes, additional educational tools still exist; unfortunately they aren't immune to the budgetary ax that gets twirled around like a baton.

Exploring assumptions could help education
Jim Thompson's column ("Demographics no excuse in student achievement discussion," Feb. 27), in reply to my Feb. 22 letter introduced an appropriate issue in the education of all children - to not be resigned to accepting demographic influence in setting standards for success of our schools. In particular, Thompson notes we should not rely "on demographics as a handy excuse for why Clarke students may not be as good as students" elsewhere. I applaud this notion.
Social Security system doesn't mean United States is socialist
Jeff Stewart (Letters, Feb. 25) is right. Big government is a little bit like communism - a very little bit. Social Security is one of the few social programs we have in this country. I am amazed at how so many people crow about how the United States is "communist," "socialist" and we are "taxed to death."
Quality of life laws keep community from chaos

Death penalty decision should be applauded
The United States is beginning to come in line with international law and evolving standards of decency. I applaud the Supreme Court's long overdue decision to ban the death penalty for juveniles.

'The Pacifier' surprisingly delivers more than expected
As movies have long known, a man changing a baby's diaper - when he's not accustomed to such sticky tasks - is a guaranteed laugh-getter.
Despite weaknesses, 'Mad Black Woman' delivers
Playwright-screenwriter Tyler Perry exudes considerable raw talent and abundant passion, which energizes "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," directed by Darren Grant from Perry's adaptation of his play. But Perry short-circuits his serious effort to dramatize a woman's attempt to rebuild her life after her husband has dumped her by casting himself not only as Madea, a gun-toting, loud, outsized battle-ax, but also as her grouchy foul-mouthed brother Joe. These characters, which Perry worked into the narrative from other stage performances, may have been entertaining in those venues, but they undermine the film.

Black folks have never been so popular in Hollywood. From the red carpet to the nominees, this year's Academy Awards flung open the party's doors for blacks.
Black applicant numbers at UGA mildly encouraging
They don't tell the whole story, because the real indication of whether the University of Georgia's effort to increase the number of black students on campus is working won't come until the school knows how many of its current pool of black applicants will actually enroll. So news that the number of black undergraduate applicants is up significantly over last year at UGA, while it could be an encouraging sign, cannot yet be taken as evidence the university's multifaceted diversity effort might be getting some results.

VERO BEACH, Fla. - Mike Hampton reminded himself it was only two innings - a mere 23 pitches - but he couldn't help but leave Dodgertown feeling pleased.
Mantei might be bargain for Red Sox
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Matt Mantei's health is not a concern this spring. It was an issue over the winter when the Red Sox signed the hard-throwing reliever to a one-year contract with a $750,000 base salary, a paltry sum compared to the $7 million the Diamondbacks paid him last year.

Downloading music far from dead, but its evolution continues for many still today
When an innovative program called Napster began circulating on the Internet five years ago, no one was aware of the effect this program would end up having on consumers and recording artists. With increasing Internet speeds and usage, Napster quickly became popular. Millions of users, most of them teens, began to share hundreds of MP3 files across the Internet. However, on July 27, 2000, Napster was shut down by a court, due to copyright infringement.

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Armintie Price had 19 points, including a putback of her own missed shot as Mississippi took the lead in the final minute, and the Rebels overcame some awful shooting to defeat South Carolina, 53-50, at the SEC women's tournament Thursday night.

The GM report: Despicable behavior
So this is what American taxpayers saved when they bailed out General Motors and lost more than $11 billion in the process: a company whose default position was "incompetence" and "neglect" and whose culture fostered a climate of nod-nod, wink-winkism and lying by omission.
Once, what was good for GM was good for America. But what was good for GM in this case killed Americans.
A damning report, commissioned by GM and written by former U.S. Attorney Anton R. Valukus, concludes that the automaker did just about everything wrong that could be done wrong to avoid a recall as evidence mounted that faulty ignition switches on some vehicles led to either 13 fatal crashes (as GM still claims) or three score (as circling lawyers contend).
And while GM claims the report found no "conspiracy or cover-up" among top company officials, the language in the report clearly shows such behavior — manifested through indifference and silence for more than a decade — among not-so-junior underlings, 15 of whom have been fired. Five others were disciplined.
"Although everyone had responsibility to fix the problem, nobody took responsibility," Mr. Valukus concluded. And that's the kind of behavior incubated at the very top.
Whether GM can survive the report's conclusions and its own tardy admissions now is a serious question. But taxpayers, burned first in a rigged bankruptcy and burned for a second time in this scandal, shall not be burned thrice.

Cube World Wiki, cataloging the cubes.
Boomerangs are one of the three available weapons for the ranger. The main difference between the other two weapons is the throwing curve and the AoE damage.
The Normal Attack is a basic throw of one boomerang which can cause AoE if multiple enemies are standing beside each other.
In order to make good amounts of damage with the Special Attack, you will want to have at least two-thirds of your MP bar filled. This attack will throw 2 boomerangs with the ability to stun your targets from time to time depending on the difficulty of the target.
- RED means nearly impossible to stun. (about 1% or 2%)
- ORANGE is much more likely to be stunned. (about 75%)
- BLUE / WHITE will be stunned about 100% of the time.
Additional Information and suggestions.
- Boomerangs provide an entirely different fighting style to the ranger class.
- The right click attack with no mp will act as a normal normal attack (but takes much longer).
- Alternating left and right click attacks quickly provides an extremely rapid attack rate, building up combo's very fast which increases damage and effectiveness of cube procs.
- Using the rapid attack style does much less damage much faster, stuns more often, and will activate spirit cubes very often as well.
- With 16 healing cubes and 16 ice cubes, at 1000 combo using the rapid attack method will continuously slow the enemy and heal the player for 100 at the same rate as damage is being dealt. This makes soloing a difficult boss quite possible provided one survives long enough to build up the combo.
- Aiming properly, a 1000 hit combo only takes a matter of seconds.
- Pressing shift returns the boomerang back to the ranger early, holding shift throws the boomerang but lets it spin on the player providing melee range AOE damage centered on the player.
- Boomerangs break at lower tempos limits compared to the rest of the weapons due to the animation being unable to complete, tempo is still relatively important but can be made up for using scouts swiftness.
- The boomerang follows the aiming cursor after it is thrown, allowing effective pulling, attacking enemies around corners, and AOE damage distribution.
- Believe it or not, a sniper specialization is plausible using a boomerang. It is possible to output some serious AOE damage in the snipe mode before the enemy has a chance to respond. A sniper boomerang user would make a really great backup while someone else tanked and took the damage. Since they can apply a slow to a group of enemies while continuously knocking them down.
- WARNING: The rapid attack method is likely to cause UI lag more than normal. Also, it has the potential to cause server problems if used for extended duration. If on a server, try alternating between different styles. DPS output for rapid attack is less but provides perks potentially worth the damage sacrifice in different situations.

In saying that, they're also adept at conveying their queer point of view; often in hilarious ways.

Re: Small house overlooking the Potomac
Expand Messages
- Adam,
I don't think that is the original house. There was an early house there at
one time but during the battle there was a Confederate artillery battery
where the house was. They were firing Mullane shells at the opposing
federal artillery placed on the long hill known as Ferry Hill. The Federal
artillery was firing back and several shells fell into the river and
slammed into that hillside just below the (Oakley ? spelling may be
incorrect) house. There was also a Confederate battery located to the west
of River Road on the bluffs where Bill Lukens lives today. All of these
positions were firing on Pleasanton's Batteries. From what I have found it
appears they unlimbered quite a ways back from the river on the Maryland
side and worked their way forward. This kept them from being shelled by the
Confederate long range artillery on the Va. side. It is important to note
that the Federal artillery did load up some dropped Confederate artillery
shells and fired them into the bluffs.
The types of shells found in this area are predominately fired from the 3"
Ordnance Rifle with some fired from the Howitzers These shells include the
2.9" Dyer Shells (both case and shell/ and both rounded and pointed nose
2.9" Hotchkiss Shells (both case and shell)
2.9" Schenkl Shells (shells only)
2.9" CS Archer Shells with wood fuses
12lb Spherical Solid Shot
12lb Spherical Case and Shell
24lb Spherical Case and Shell

Clive James on the web: 'Some brilliant young people aren't going to eat very well'
Clive James is quizzed about his website CliveJames.com in the latest copy of Word magazine. He is asked: "Assuming this is the future, how do you think someone like you will get paid?"
James replies: "Well the answer is, I think you don't. There are going to be some brilliant young people who aren't going to eat very well. But the same question is facing the whole of the printed media."
In the interview (which is not online), James adds: "The papers are the ones that are in trouble - the things I want from the papers will go into the magazines. How much of the paper do I read? How much of the paper do you read? You might make two or three stops through the whole paper, and whole sections get thrown away, right? So the question of 'why should newspapers survive?' starts to pop up."
James also highlights an area where he believes the web fails. "There are things the web can't do. It's very bad at people collaborating together to produce a rich result; it's much better at individuality."

Transferred Intent - Civil Law
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
Transferred Intent - Civil Law
Intentional injuries are (as the name implies) caused when one person intentionally harms another. In order for a person to be liable for an intentional injury, there must be intent to cause the specific injury. There are five injury causes of action, however, where the intention to cause a specific injury may be transferred if one of the other five injuries occurs.
The Concept of Transferred Intent
Transferred intent applies to five intentional injury causes of action: assault, battery, false imprisonment, trespass to land and trespass to chattel. Under transferred intent, the intention to commit one of the following causes of action can result in liability for one of the other five causes of action if one should occur.
For example, if person A swings a bat at person B (assault) and instead of hitting person B, hits person B's car and shatters the windshield, then person A would be liable under trespass to chattel for the damage caused to person B's car even though he only intended the assault and not the trespass to chattel.
What Is the Purpose of Transferred Intent?
Transferred intent permits the intent requirement of one of the five intentional causes of action to satisfy the intent requirement of the other. Thus, the proving of intent for an injury caused unintenionally is bypassed because the intent to cause one results in liability should one of the other five occur.
Does Transferred Intent Transfer to Different Parties?
Yes. In addition to transferring from one of the five causes of action to another, transferred intent allows the intent to transfer from one victim to another. Therefore, if person A swings a bat with the intent to hit person B, but instead hits person C, person A would be liable in battery to person C even though there was never an intention to hit person C.
Does Transferred Intent Apply to All Intentional Injuries?
No. Transferred intent can only apply to the five intentional injuries listed above.
Should I Contact an Attorney?
If you have suffered an intentional injury, seeking out an injury attorney will assist in gaining recovery for your injury. If you believe that transferred intent exists, however, let your attorney know because any information about the intent of the person causing the injury will help in resolving your case.

Southern Caribbean Cruise: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by mimi&poppy
Overall Member Rating
Southern Caribbean Cruise
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
The Summit met our expectations from past Celebrity cruises. This was our first time in Concierge level. The ship was clean and well maintained. The Summit is somewhat smaller than our 2 previous so we did notice more motion, particularly the first 2 nights when we experienced rain. The dining room is very motion-prone as it is in the back of the ship. Our stateroom, More as it was mid-ship was never a problem.
Our cabin steward and waiter's in the dining room were very attentive and friendly. The staff in the other areas of the ship such as the pool deck the fitness center and spa, was also friendly and helpful. Any requests we had were met with no problem.
While cruising we usually spend most of our time lounging, reading, etc. We took advantage of the fitness center most days as well. While in port we take excursions and find them to be very informative and enjoyable. We found the ship's entertainment enjoyable as well, particularly the special guests, a pianist and a ventriloquist.
In general, the food was good. There was a decent variety on the buffet to cater to many types of ethnic groups. There could have been a better selection from 2PM to 5PM to allow for people returning from excursions that were going to a late seating dinner. The grill was open all afternoon for hamburgers and hotdogs. We did like the availability of water, tea, and lemonade most of the day, which we had not had on the 2 prior cruises. We liked the menu in the dining room with an option for standard choices if you preferred. The lobster dinner was especially good. We enjoyed our tablelmates company but all of us agreed that our table for 8 was really a table for 6 and we were cramped.
At the Captain's Club receptions we were invited to the helipad to watch our sailaway from the port that day - very neat. And another time, if you express interest to the right party, you can get an invitation to tour the bridge, which we did. It was informative and interesting. The ship's officer's were friendly.
We have no other cruise lines with which to compare Celebrity, but we have not been disappointed. We would continue to research Celebrity for our future cruise needs. Less

Demise of local newspapers greatly exaggerated
By Rick Fromm
, Managing Editor
Thursday, March 22, 2012 5:23 AM
It was another Tuesday morning, and as usual I was sitting at my desk staring at my computer monitor in hopes a column would miraculously appear on the screen ... but to no avail.
As the minutes passed and no creative ideas popped into my head for the "column of the year," panic was just starting to set in when suddenly an old friend burst into my office with his usual lack of finesse and grace. Normally I would have been peeved - I do not suffer fools well - but since his presence would certainly help delay the column-writing process, I was actually glad to see him.
Although his true identity will remain a mystery in order to protect his privacy, let's call him Curt Mudgeon. Seems about right. In fact, perfect.
"How ya doin' Ricki boy?" asked Curt.
"Not bad," I responded. "Just sitting here trying to come up with a fresh, original column but I'm not having much luck. Any suggestions?"
"Why bother?" said Curt. "Aren't newspapers supposed to be obsolete in short order anyway? I'm sure another one of your columns isn't going to stop the inevitable. Technology is taking over our world, you know."
His rather abrupt assessment of my writing capabilities was probably spot on, but I took issue with his general premise.
"The demise of all newspapers was predicted more than five years ago now, but to my knowledge the vast majority are still printing and selling subscriptions. In fact, small, local papers are doing just fine because readers have decided they like the convenience, portability, speed and "feel" of a newspaper, and it's ridiculously affordable. If you purchase a local subscription to Decorah Newspapers, it's less than 34 cents an issue ... nothing is that cheap anymore," I said.
"That's true, but I'll take issue with the speed thing," said Curt. "How can it be faster than the Internet?"
"That's easy to prove," I responded. "I can flip through the pages of a newspaper and scan the headlines for stories that interest me a lot faster than you can turn on your computer, find the appropriate website, scroll through the accompanying menu and then select the story you want to read. And it requires no electricity, batteries or Internet-access fees. It's a real bargain, and unlike online blogs that claim to be real news sources but aren't, newspapers are written by professional journalists who value fairness, accuracy and credibility."
"I never thought of it that way," said Curt. "I see your point. So you think newspapers will survive this technology boom that has everyone a twitter ... so to speak?"
"I sure do," I said. "No question all quality newspapers have had to get more efficient, which is a good thing, and most have their own website to compliment the printed product, but I think our doors will remain open for a few more years. Newspapers have been and remain the No. 1 source for most people when it comes to obtaining news of the day and advertising information, and that's because people read them ... pure and simple. I don't see that changing any time soon, no matter how high-tech we get. There's just something 'real' about a newspaper."
"Do you have any statistics to back up your claims?" asked Curt.
"Glad you asked," I said. According to a study from the National Newspaper Association and the research arm of the Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism (arguably the most respected journalism school in the world), readers in areas served by community newspapers continue to prefer the community newspaper as their source of local news and advertising.
"And check out these facts:"
The study shows that 74 percent of people in communities served by a newspaper with circulations fewer than 15,000 read a local newspaper each week. They prefer the printed copy to the online version, with 48 percent saying they never read the local news online.
They prefer to receive advertising through the newspaper (51 percent) instead of on the Internet (11 percent). And only about a quarter of respondents said they had found local news through a mobile device in the past 30 days.
Readers, on average, share their paper with 2.33 persons.
61 percent read local news very often in their community newspaper while 48 percent say they never read local news online (only 11 percent say they read local news very often online).
Of those going online for local news, 52 percent found it on the local newspaper's website.
The local community newspaper is the primary source of information about the local community for 51.8 percent of respondents compared to seeking information from friends and relatives (16 percent) and TV (13.2 percent). Readers are seven times more likely to get their news from their community newspaper than from the Internet (7.4 percent). Less than 6 percent say their primary news source is radio.
"Pretty impressive," said Curt. "I think I'll buy a subscription for my brother. After all, it's only 34 cents an issue. Anyone can afford that."
