Several run down sites across Falmouth will be given a make-over by around 100 volunteers this weekend as residents, students and businesses embrace Spring Clean Day.
Organised as part of the Falmouth Spring Festival, the event has become so popular that the clean-ups have been spread over two days this year.
One business which has pledged its support is Hodgsons Chartered Accountants where boss James Hodgson has offered the services of most of his staff for half a day's work. The team will be planting bulbs donated by local garden centres around The Dell area on Friday.
Swapping time in the office for time outdoors, staff were keen to get involved. "I sounded them out to see if they were interested, it was entirely up to them, and they were all keen and I am more than happy to let them have the afternoon off from the office to do it," said Mr Hodgson.
PCSO Sean McDonnell and the Waterfront Crew will be clearing litter around Pendennis Point and accommodation sector volunteers will be picking up litter and clearing up dog mess from around Pendennis Castle's moat.
Cornwall Council parks and gardens' team will be undertaking some scrub clearance/cutting back along the footpath between Gyllyngvase and Swanpool, Falmouth Bay Residents Association will be removing litter from Boscawen Field and members of the Falmouth and District Hotels' Association will be cleaning Swanpool and Castle Beaches.
Elsewhere, Cornwall Council staff volunteers will be helping clean graffiti from Jacob's Ladder and other town centre areas and Greenbank Hotel staff are giving up time on Friday to revamp an old rockery/remembrance area on The Beacon.
A group of students from the Falmouth and Exeter Students' Union community action team will also be joining in on Saturday.
The Falmouth Spring Festival is organised by the Falmouth Business Improvement District. Its manager, Richard Wilcox said: "I am delighted at the level of interest and support shown in the spring clean day. It was always my intention that Falmouth Spring Festival would have a very strong community ethos.
"A thriving, vibrant town can only exist when people and businesses pull together for the extra mile and for a common good."
The festival officially runs from March 14 to 24, for a full list of activities visit falmouth.co.uk or pick up a festival guide.

"This book contains some rare combinations: first, an author who is as concerned with conceptual clarification as he is with the absolute truthfulness of the biblical text; second, an argument that avoids the common 'either-ors' and contends for the importance of both divine sovereignty and divine solicitude in equal measure; third, an approach that espouses divine determinism and divine temporality. No One Like Him takes on the most intractable intellectual challenges of contemporary evangelical theology."-Kevin Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
John S. Feinberg is Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology and Chairman of that department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Lisbon Bus With GPS
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: GPS, Transportation
Clever Spain has installed GPS navigation systems in buses that go from the airport to the Lisbon's center. One is placed in the front and one is in the middle of the vehicle. Partially designed for the driver, riders can see a list of stops on the way there. We guess the only problem is that the signal can be lost in case of a narrow street or going through a tunnel. We hope other cities adopt this idea for travelers who are navigationally challenged.

Panda Chair Recycles CDs
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Household, Misc. Tech
Next time you receive those useless CDs from AOL, do what Spanish Designer Belen Hermosa did with his Panda Chair. It was recently unveiled at the International Furniture Fair in Valencia. We're not sure about the comfort factor, but the idea is a viable one. If you score enough of the useless discs, you could probably build an entire living room suite, including end tables and ottomans. Then you could recover your patio deck, build furniture for the kids' treehouse, and start selling items at swap meets. Just you wait, IKEA, you have tentative competition.

Previously, it was reported that the upcoming Bourne star had minor injuries as a result of a bar brawl involving sharp weapons.
There was a report earlier that Jeremy Renner was hurt in a brutal bar fight in Thailand on Thursday, January 5 morning. A representative of the "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" star confirmed that the actor actually left the place during the fight and was not even involved.
Renner was hanging out with some friends at Rachada Pub in Phuket. One of his companions, Sri Panwa Resort General Manager Vorasit Issara, accidentally dropped a glass on the floor, prompting a melee. Issara then got into an argument with a staffer and six employees later jumped into the situation.
The group of employees allegedly attacked Renner and his friends with one of them slashing Issara with a homemade rotor ax. Beside being stabbed in the neck, Issara was stabbed in the stomach with a knife. Renner, according to the reports, suffered minor injuries.
Six men were arrested that morning and charged with attempted murder.

Bradenton, FL- Manatee County deputies were called to the 3600 block of 116th Street W, early Monday morning. According to investigators, an 18 year old male was seen breaking into numerous vehicles at the Sunny Shores mobile home park.
One of the victims confronted the suspect and he ran away. Deputies cleared the area in the hopes the suspect would resurface and a short time later he did just that. When deputies were called to the scene again, the suspect ran away but he was later found hiding in a park building. Evan Jones was detained and arrested on 2 counts of burglary and 2 counts of vehicle burglary.

A Mitcham man accused of killing a father on a basketball court has appeared before judges at the Old Bailey.
Simeon Scott-Wasey, 24, is accused of stabbing to death 25-year-old Nicholas Stewart near the victim's home in the Henry Prince estate in Earlsfield.
Flowers now line the basketball court along with bottles of alcohol, candles and an Arsenal shirt at the spot where it happened.
Scott-Wasey, of Downe Road, Mitcham, appeared via video link at the Old Bailey from Wandsworth prison on Tuesday, August 19, and spoke only to confirm his name.
The prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC told the Old Bailey on Tuesday, August 19, that other people could stand trial over the killing, which could have been witnessed by up to 20 people, including children.
Tributes to victim Nicholas Stewart at the scene.
Judge Timothy Pontius remanded Scott-Wasey in custody until a plea and case management hearing on November 11 this year.
Emergency services found the victim with serious stab wounds just before 9pm on Wednesday, August 13, at the court where he was pronounced dead.
A post-mortem examination at St George's Hospital shortly afterwards said he died from stab wounds to the leg and chest.
Mr Stewart, a decorator with a five-year-old daughter, is believed to have been attacked by a group of men.
Anyone with information should call police on 020 8721 4961 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Kiss me, you fool; Playhouse 412's 'Romantic Comedy' is this weekend
For nine weeks now, the cast and crew of Playhouse 412's upcoming presentation, "Romantic Comedy," have been hard at work, getting ready for the local theater group's first stage production since 2004's "The Fantasticks."
"It's been going very well," said Dave Goebel, the play's director, during a rehearsal break on Monday evening. "We practice one new scene per week."
With seven scenes in the three-act play, that means the last two weeks have been spent on "tying it all together," Goebel noted.
"We've been working out the final details, polishing and perfecting (the show)," he said.
The curtain will rise on "Romantic Comedy" this Saturday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m., and the cast is becoming quite excited.
"This is a play that really grows on you, the more you practice it," noted Doug Schultz, who plays one of the featured roles, Leo Janowitz, in addition to serving as the play's production manager.
Schultz is thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to play Leo, whom he describes as "kind of a straight shooter."
"He's a very intelligent man, who knows several languages," Schultz continued. "But he's not exactly what you would call sophisticated."
But Schultz is quite fond of the character. "There might be a little Leo in me," he admitted. "The nerdy, unsophisticated side (of the character)... I identify with that."
He has been a part of Playhouse since moving to Detroit Lakes with his wife in 2001. Though he has appeared in several productions since then, and served as both a props manager and set designer in various productions, this is his first stint as production manager.
"It's definitely been a learning experience," he said, noting that unlike previous productions, where he might only be involved in one or two aspects such as set design and acting, as the production manager, "now I'm seeing virtually everything."
Goebel, on the other hand, is an experienced director, having directed musicals and plays at Frazee-Vergas High School since 1975 -- until his retirement from teaching in the spring of 2005.
"I've directed five other productions for Playhouse, starting in 1985 and concluding in 1995," he said. "It'd been 11-12 years since I'd done any community theater work, and I thought it would be an interesting challenge."
Also bringing considerable expertise to this weekend's production is Bagley-area native Lorraine Bahr (Blanche Dailey), who comes to the Historic Holmes Theatre stage with more than 15 years of theater experience.
"I just moved back to Minnesota, after working in professional theater in Oregon for 15 years," she said. When she saw the Playhouse 412 advertisement for play auditions, she jumped at it.
"I just saw the notice in the paper and knew I wanted to get involved (in the show)," Bahr said.
She finds the character of Blanche to be an interesting one to play.
"Blanche is an old (Ziegfield) Follies girl... she's been a talent agent for quite a few years," Bahr said. "She's got that hardened, cynical air about her... she knows what's what, and she calls the shots -- or at least she thinks she does."
But Blanche is also "sort of a mother figure" to the lead character, Jason Carmichael, Bahr explained. "She sticks with him, even through all his screw-ups... and gives him a little tough love.
"It's been a great time, getting to know everyone in the cast," she added.
"One of the fun things about a Playhouse production is that the cast really becomes a family for about 8-12 weeks," Schultz noted.
Besides Schultz and Bahr, the cast of "Romantic Comedy" also includes the two lead characters, Jason Carmichael (Jason Jensen) and Phoebe Craddock (Robbin Elder Bueng); Alison St. James (Teresa Nelson); and Kate Mallory (Arlene Furuseth).
Playhouse 412 will present "Romantic Comedy" this Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, at 7:30 and 2 p.m., respectively. Tickets are $15.
The play was originally slated to be presented on Valentine's Day weekend, but Goebel said the timing of the initial auditions failed to produce enough applicants, as they were held right before the holidays.
"After rechecking the schedule (at the Historic Holmes Theatre), we found this weekend was open," Goebel said.
So they scheduled another round of auditions -- and this time, they had better results.
"We found a very good cast of characters," Goebel said. "We're ready (for this weekend's shows)... and I give all credit to the actors for that."
Directing a three-act play such as this one differs greatly from directing a musical, he explained, because of all the additional dialogue.
"There are 90 pages of dialogue, and the two lead characters are really on stage for nearly the entire show," Goebel added.
Written by the author of "Fatal Attraction" and "Same Time Next Year," "Romantic Comedy" is a play primarily intended "for adults" rather than families, because of some of the themes and situations involved, Schultz noted.
For more information about the production, or to purchase tickets, contact the Historic Holmes Theatre Box Office at 218-844-SHOW (7469).

The J.M. Smucker Co. will cut 700 personnel and shutter almost 20 percent of its plants nationwide.
But Ripon will be spared.
Instead, as Smucker's prepares to go through hard times nationwide, it plans to re-invest in its Ripon plant, positioning the local maker of fruit spreads and condiments to possibly even grow in the future.
Yet it easily could have been a different story.
While Ripon's plant will become even more important to Smucker's, it too could have been closed.
"All [of Smucker's facilities nationwide] were considered for closure," said Maribeth Badertscher, spokesperson for Smucker's.
A consideration of all its plants, though, led to a decision to make Ripon's fruit-spread plant to be the only such facility Smucker's would continue operating outside of its hometown of Orrville, Ohio.
As part of a $150-million improvement plan, Smucker's will re-invest in the Ripon facility, as well as build a new plant Orrville.
The efforts are all part of a national plan to improve Smucker's supply chain and strengthen the company as a whole.Read the full story in the April 1, 2010 edition of the Ripon Commonwealth Press.

A cement truck crashed into another vehicle and rolled onto its side when its tyre blew out in Melbourne's east during peak hour, police say.
The truck driver and two people in the second vehicle were taken to hospital with minor injuries following the crash on Victoria Street in Hawthorn just after 8am.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the cement truck was travelling west on Victoria Street in the right-hand lane when one of its tyres blew out.
The truck swerved and crashed into a white sedan that was heading west along Victoria Street in the left lane.
"The truck driver has then tried to correct the truck's trajectory but has overcorrected, resulting in the truck rolling onto its side," the police spokeswoman said.
The 47-year-old truck driver, from Thomastown, was taken to hospital with minor head injuries.
The 32-year-old male sedan driver and his female passenger, 29, both from Balwyn North, were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Victoria Street had been closed in both directions between Church Street and Burnley Street. The road reopened about 10.30am.

If you have just a basic understanding of Eric Clapton's most well known work, then you are already at least subconsciously familiar with JJ Cale. For the majority of his career, Clapton has expressed a sincere admiration for Cale, whose work has prominently found a second life through popular versions by such artists as Dr. Hook, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and of course Clapton. Through heartfelt vocals and distinctive guitar work, chances are you wouldn't even recognize such staple selections as "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" as being new renditions on JJ Cale songs, however they were, and damn good ones at that.
Especially with his reputation, it's surprising that it wasn't until 2006 that Eric Clapton and JJ Cale would be able to sit down with one another and heavily collaborate; the result was the Grammy award-winning studio album, "The Road to Escondido," and for thorough listeners the fact that the pair worked so well together wasn't that difficult to comprehend. Cale and Clapton would go on to collaborate occasionally throughout the years since then, but earlier last year, blues fans were swept in sorrow when it was announced that JJ Cale had died at the age of 74 from heart failure.
Rather than sit entirely in anguish at the loss of a musical inspiration, Eric Clapton has since enlisted the aid of a staggering collection of talent in order to pay homage of the pivotal influence on the new studio album, the appropriately titled "The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale." The title borrows a portion from the classic song "Call Me the Breeze," which formidably begins the effort with striding acoustic guitar and Clapton's signature signing style. The opening number is one of few selections which shows Eric Clapton standing solo on vocal duties, as the artist on the label does say Eric Clapton & Friends, and soon we reach a memorable duet between the mainman and Tom Petty on "Rock and Roll Records."
The voice behind the Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler is among good company on "Someday," where he finds a comfortable groove among delicate acoustic guitar, faint harmonica swoons and the tapping of a bongo drum. This sets the standard for the majority of the songs which follow, such as the organ propelled "Cajun Moon" which properly implements relaxing yet attentive electric guitar work vacant of any attention swiping guitar effects. "I Got the Same Old Blues" was a live favorite for Eric Clapton fans for several years, with the musician most notably crafting a memorable live version featuring Phil Collins on drums and Knopfler on guitar several years back. This time around, Tom Petty once again joins in for another standout vocal performance.
A taste of country flair is attributed when Willie Nelson takes over for "Starbound," while "Train to Nowhere" has Clapton, Knopfler and Don White trading off on lead vocal duties. Even taking a moment to set aside the accredited list of musicians which appear on the record, what we find musically is a touching tribute which places the same type of emphasis on articulate guitar work and soothing vocals that JJ Cale was most readily known for.
Lyrics — 8
When you're dealing with such cases where Eric Clapton, Don White, John Mayer, Mark Knopfler, Tom Petty and Willie Nelson are providing vocal contributions to a tribute album to such a prolific musician as JJ Cale, you leave little room for error. Unless something was inexcusably rushed, having such a compilation of talent sets the stage for a truly special unification, such as what is present on "The Breeze." While the moments where Clapton and Petty share the main microphone doesn't show the latter making the dominant vocal presence he's well known for, it becomes apparent that the reason behind the meaning is with the intention of honoring the original rendition, as opposed to overdoing the performance and attempting to triumph over the recording artist you're paying tribute to. This is where "The Breeze" particularly separates itself as an exemplary studio album.
Overall Impression — 8
From the prominent musicians which contribute to the end product, to the choice selections which are tastefully executed, "The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale" stands as a fitting tribute to the late musician JJ Cale which made such a significant impact on the rock and blues communities. Even amongst such an impressive cast of talent, Eric Clapton remains at the project's helm, providing each selection which a degree of touching character. These songs hold a lot of meaning for Clapton, and it's brilliantly evident. As far as tribute albums go, this one is a step well above.

The Specs
Paper weight: 100 lb (150 gsm)
Paper color: Ivory
Surface: Vellum
62 sheets, 124 pages
Bound in the United States
Look and Feel
As with all the Stillman & Birn sketchbooks, the cover is textured black binder board with the Stillman & Birn logo and the series name embossed on the lower back cover. You immediately get the impression of sturdiness, and if you look closely at the binding, you'll see it is both sewn and glued. There is an initial stiffness but if you slowly bend the sketchbook back as far as it will go, the binding loosens and the pages will lie flat. You'll need to do this in several places.
Although the paper is thick (though only about half as thick as the Beta and Delta series paper), it is very flexible. The wrapper states that it is 'suitable for all dry media and will accept light washes.' It has a smooth surface, but there is some grain to it.
The Gamma and the Alpha series books have the same paper, except for color. The Gamma comes in ivory. It's very light, and in some lights might seem white. Colors are slightly (slightly) less brilliant, but the ivory is slightly easier on the eyes.
Fabric tipped Art pens
NOTE about the tangle pattern: Bubble-up can be drawn as either symmetrical or asymmetrical. The lopsided 8 added in step 3 bulges out in left-right repetition. Make your 8s, both vertical and horizontal, similar in size and you'll have a clean, bold look. (Keep the bulge--just make every bulge the same size).
If you vary the size of your 8s, you get more of wild, meandering look.
Neither is better--you might want the very orderly look for a mandala, but choose the uneven look to imply the feel of pebbles or bunches of fruit. It's a choice.
Watercolor-Twinkling H2Os
Iris Folding/Stamp pad ink/Metallic marker
This didn't come out as good as I hoped, but it was a first try, and I learned a few things. For the purposes of this review, I learned that the Gamma paper is excellent for this kind of mixed media.
If you are unfamiliar with Iris Folding, the basic steps are:
Cut a hole in your paper (the journal page, in this case).
Tape folded strips of colored paper in a layered spiral pattern, on the back of the paper (this resembles the shutter and iris of a camera).
Tape something on the back to cover up the strips and tape.
Decorate the front of the page around the Iris.
I wanted to see how the pages of my Gamma sketchbook held up to cutting, and to the weight of the 'iris'. I also used the journal piece that was cut out--I cut it in quarters, made a fan of each quarter and used the fans as stencils, before spraying them with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.
Results--I put the corner of a cutting mat under the page, and used an exacto blade to cut out my circle. The paper cut easily. There are a couple of ragged edges. That was me. I was moving my blade rather than turning the page.
I used Origami paper for my strips. It isn't terribly heavy, but I added 28 strips and the weight does add up. The paper held up to the weight as though it wasn't there. No buckling or warping whatsoever. I taped a piece of cardstock over the back of the taped paper strips. The paper carried that extra weight easily. I didn't like how it looked, however, so I removed the cardstock and taped two pages together. You can barely tell the difference.
I rubbed a sponge over an inkpad, and holding the cut-out fans down, on the page, I dabbed the sponge around the fans to get a stencil effect. Even though the 'fans' were cut into fairly thin strips, the paper held up to some energetic dabbing.
I tore the fans apart because I wanted to use them for petals. Than I ruined things by adding metallic marker. I don't like it, and I'll probably add on some 'collage' items. There also aren't enough 'petals' but I didn't have anymore of the cut-out piece left. Since this review is about the Gamma paper, not Iris folding, I decided to quit for now.
Alcohol marker bleedthrumanade
I used Spectrum Noirs for the background color and Micron Pigma for the linework. The marker color goes on rich and deep, but isn't brilliant. The bleed through to the back of the page is 10-20% and I decided to try something different, which leads me to....
Color pencil-Lyra Rembrandts
I don't know what it is, but when I use any kind of pencil, my hands ache after a while. They seldom do when I use pen, so it must be the type of repetitive motion I'm using, or the amount of pressure. At any rate, it can take a while to build up your color and values with pencil and that causes me pain. I've been playing around using the pencils over alcohol marker--that way some of values are already established, and I don't have to work as hard at it.
There's a downside of course. It's harder to get the right tonal values where you want them, but that's the kind of challenge I love, lol!
As soon as I turned the page, I 'saw' this young lady in the color that bled through from the front of the page. She told me quite plainly that she needed the soft, subtle colors that you get with colored pencil, and Voila! Here she is!.
The Gamma series sketchbook has a beautiful surface for pen & ink work, and the ivory paper is easy on the eyes while still providing bright color. It holds up to light washes, cuts easily without being easy to tear and is capable of supporting the weight of collage or ephemera. The binding is excellent, the book lies flat, even in hardbound format.
With this review, I've shown you all the current sketchbook series. I hope Stillman & Birn come out with more. I'd love to see toned paper or more surfaces. The Stillman & Birn sketchbook is priced competitively, affordable enough for the casual user. And the quality makes it suitable for any level of artist.

5.45x39 no longer being produced?
A buddy of mine knows I've been on the hunt for a nice AK74, I guess he was at one of the LGS an started talkin with the guy who tells him there no longer producing the 5.45 because they * lied * about the ballistics? Anybody out there that can clear this up for me?
Who is "they"? The Russians still use it for their service rifle, so "they" are still producing it. Sounds like a typical LGS legend. "They lied about the ballistics" so that is a reason to stop making it? What the Hell does that mean?
Ya nevermind. Exactly what I thought, former soviet union, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and many others are still producing it. Now weather or not good ole Obama will let it be imported is for another discussion else were..sorry for the post, a little research an I answered my own question.
Ya that's what I thought. That would be like u.s not making .223 cause the ballistics were fifteenth than what they claimed. Just not gonna happen. There's MILLIONS of AK varients that shoot the 5.45. Someone is going to make it..
If they ever stop importing the 5.45x39 round there is enough demand out there now that more US makers will pick it up. It may be a little expensive for a while but it will be there.
Hornady already makes a round in 5.45x39.
Yea I figured as much, just too many out there for someone not to jump on that.

A Brief History of Fountain City
Copyright 2006 * All rights reserved
J.C. (Jim) Tumblin, OD, DOS
3604 Kesterwood Drive, East
Knoxville, Tennessee 37918-2557
(865) 687-1948
(Fountain City Lake, Circa 1900)
"Fort Adair: Established in 1788 (186 years ago) this fort was used as a depot of supplies for the Cumberland Guard, a militia organization which furnished armed protection for parties of immigrants to the Cumberland settlement, later the town of Nashborough, now Nashville."
Nashville is nine or ten years older than Knoxville and swarms of settlers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina made their way through what is now Tennessee, through the wilderness to Nashville. From the foot of the Clinch mountains at the present village of Blaine they followed a pathway that eventually was known as Emory Road.
Since the Indians were still hostile, the North Carolina government, as the marker states, sent the militia to protect the immigrants. John Adair, a native of Ireland, came to America and migrated to western North Carolina (now East Tennessee) where he became prominent as a leader, and where he was appointed by the governor of North Carolina to build a supply depot on the frontier in Hawkins County (now Knox County) where the soldiers could get supplies of corn, meal, bacon, flour, pork, and beef and such.
Since their route to Nashville came through Beaver Creek Valley about two miles northwest of Adair's Fort or supply depot, and the fort was only slightly off their line of travel, it was a perfect location for the commissary or supply depot. The militiamen came from the Beaver Creek route to the fort by a pathway that crossed Black Oak Ridge near "Belcaro," then through what is now Lynnhurst cemetery to the supply station.
John Adair had previously been given 640 acres of land in this section by the governor of North Carolina. His fort was near the southwestern border of this section of land. Incidentally, James White, his nearest neighbor, had a settlement in Knoxville that same year in which Adair founded Fountain City. As time went on, other settlers joined Adair. Farming flourished in this part of Knox County for more than 100 years.
In 1828, a church was organized in the John Adair section called Fountain Head Methodist Church - the forerunner of the present Fountain City United Methodist Church.
In 1833, a camp meeting was moved from Lonas Chapel on the present Middlebrook Pike to a grove of trees opposite the Fountain Head Methodist Church (the location of the present Fountain City Park). Camp meetings were largely attended for many years, especially the years before the Civil War. Tents were used by the campers, while the preaching services were in sheds or arbors. Sometimes on Sunday mornings as many as 2,000 attended the preaching service. Camp meetings continued to be a drawing card to Fountain Head until about 1885. Then it was that a Reverend Inskip from New York, a well known evangelist, established a camp ground in a grove of trees on Colonel Charles McGhee's new railroad 3 miles west of the Fountain Head camp ground. Since the Inskip site was conveniently located on the railroad, it was more easily reached than the old site, so the older camp ground went out of business.
In 1885, the Fountain Head camp ground owners sold their property (12 acres) to the Fountain Head Improvement Co. for $1,025.
In 1886, a large 3 story, 50 room hotel, with porches on all three floors, was built overlooking the big spring and the camp grounds. The hotel stood where the Manor apartment House now stands ((formerly stood). The new hotel cost between $8,000 and $10,000 to build. The hotel was reached by a conveyance known as hack (a large station wagon of today) and by private horse and buggies and surries. The hotel was called the Fountain Head Hotel.
In June of 1888, the Fountain Head hotel Co. sold the hotel to a company who incorporated under the name Fountain Head Land Co. In 1890, the new company sold the hotel and camp meeting ground (the present Fountain City Park) to a syndicate of Kentucky capitalists. In the fall of 1889, a charter was granted to this company for "the encouragement of immigration, the locating and building of towns and cities, the purchase, improvement, sale and establishment of industries."
In 1890, a steam railway called the "Dummy Line" was built from Emory Place in Knoxville to Fountain Head.
The summer of 1891 was the best season in the entire career of the hotel. Many guests were entertained. Miss Mary Donahue had charge of the dining room where marvelous meals were served for 50 cents. Among other attractions added were the three bathrooms - one for each floor with hot and cold water. An Italian band also played for the guest entertainment.
The hotel property changed hands several times until it was turned into a sanitarium about 1915 or 1916. In 1920, it was destroyed by fire, but was rebuilt - and the sanitarium gave way to the Manor Apartment House.
The "Dummy Line" was in operation 16 years until 1905 when it was replaced by electric trolley cars. Gasoline buses were installed in 1934.
A sure enough real estate boom started in Fountain City in the spring of 1890. The hotel property and 14 acres of land surrounding the park was purchased in Fountain Head for $159,000.
The first real estate office was opened at the Fountain Head Station. Many lots were sold, but not too many residences were built. After that the boom set in, so that today there are no dividing lines between Fountain City, Smithwood, Beverly, Inskip and Halls Cross Roads.
In 1890, a Post Office was established at Fountain Head. It was called Fountain City, however; because there was another Fountain Head in middle Tennessee.
From the 1880's until the mid 1920's, hundreds of people came to the park for picnics - churches, political organizations, Odd Fellows, Masons, and Labor and Farm Unions. Probably the most famous speeches made in the park were made during the race for governor in 1886 when Robert Taylor, Democrat, and his brother Alf Taylor, Republican, made their historic race known as the "War of the Roses." A very large crowd assembled to hear the famous debate.
On July 14, 1893, 5,000 people attended a picnic in the park given by all the Baptist churches in Knoxville. In 1890, many people came to Fountain City to see the newly constructed heart-shaped lake. Now they come and bring their children to feed the many ducks on that same heart-shaped lake - but please do not call it a "duck pond."
In 1951, the Lion's Club built the Lion's Club Community Building. It was named for the late Judge John W. Green, a distinguished lawyer, aristocrat, and friend of Fountain City, who resided on his estate on top of Black Oak Ridge. It was he and the late Ben Ogle who saved the Fountain City Park from being sold off in residential lots.
In 1937, Judge Green headed a movement for a community library. The building was of concrete block construction and was built as a cost of $3,000. In 1964, the City of Knoxville built the present library building.
Fountain City Post Office was created in 1890 and remained a separate office until 1925, when it became a branch of the Knoxville office. It has been located in several different places - all within a short distance from the park.
Even after the Dummy Line was built, the development of Fountain City was slow. It was augmented by the establishment of Holbrook Normal College in 1893, a college built on the hill immediately back of the Fountain Head Hotel - site of the present Gresham Junior High School. School opened September 4, 1893, with an enrollment of more than 100. Dora Whitaker of New Market was the first student to enroll. She was later Mrs. James B. Wright, Sr., wife of a prominent Knoxville attorney. The college was in operation less than 10 years. Even though excellent instruction was given, small tuition fees and no endowment hampered its operation so it was forced to close its doors.
In 1900, the school was taken over by the Tennessee Baptist Association who bought it for a school. They paid the Knoxville and Fountain City Land Co., $13,000 for it. On August 12, 1900, (two months after the purchase) the main building was destroyed by fire, but fortunately insurance of $13,000 was carried on the building, so that a second building was erected that was used by the Baptist until 1904. In 1906, the college property was purchased by Knox County for the new Central High School which opened its doors in September 1906. Central is the second oldest school in the county - Farragut having been organized in 1904. Central used the buildings for 25 years until 1931 when the present Gresham Junior High main building was erected. Additions to the building were added later. Central used the buildings until 1971 when the present fabulous plant was erected - on a new site. In two more years, Central will celebrate her 70th birthday.
There was no grammar school in Fountain City until 1902 -1903. Up until that time the children of the Fountain City area attended the Smithwood School. The first Fountain City School was conducted in the Odd Fellows hall, corner of Hotel and Holbrook Drive, with one teacher. Shortly thereafter, a frame building was erected where the sanctuary of the First Baptist Church now stands. Then in 1916, a new school was built on the Central High School grounds and was used until 1931 when the present school was built a block away. The old grammar school property was used by Central High as an annex until 1967.
There are a number of churches in the area. This is really the "Bible Belt."
Now, in 1974, you can literally see Fountain City growing from day to day - many homes and businesses. There is really no need to go to Knoxville or West Town to get the things we use daily; we have everything out here.
We have some of the most beautiful residential sections in the city. No part of Knoxville can begin to compare with our dogwood trail--it is absolutely like "fairy land."
With its schools, churches, business places and comfortable homes, it is a wonderful place to live. I know, I live here!
(Transcribed by Jeanne Morris Jones, Central High School Class of 1944, on January 28, 2006.)

AN EAST Yorkshire First World War hero is to be honoured in Merseyside and France.
Rainhill Civic Society researched names on the town's war memorial, including Royal Flying Corps' Lt T A Jones. Lt Jones was a navigator with pilot Lt R.I.A.Hickes, from Market Weighton, and their bi-plane was shot down returning from a raid in August 1918.
The pair, both 19, crashed in the French village of Latour-en- Woevre. The Rainhill society has arranged a poppy-laying ceremony with the Mayor of Latour en Woevre on May 24. The mayor said the men "died for France" and are buried in the town's churchyard.
The Rainhill researchers also tracked down the grandson of the German pilot who shot down the airmen, and want to make sure people in Market Weighton know about the efforts to honour Lt Hickes.
He was born in 1891, the son of vet Robert Jonathon Hickes and Mary Hickes, and lived in the Market Place before the family left for Nottinghamshire. Anyone with more information is asked to email firstname.lastname@example.com

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2014 (1262 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With a career that spans more than four decades and has included television, feature films and Broadway plays, there must have been something special about Working the Engels that attracted Andrea Martin back to the small screen.
It's a sitcom. A Canadian sitcom. Clearly, this can't have been a career move motivated by money.
"I think the money is actually pretty good," says a laughing Martin, who plays matriarch Ciel Engel in this new Global TV comedy about a family-run law firm, which premières Wednesday at 8 p.m. "But the real incentive was that the script was great. That was the biggest thing, and then everything else fell into place. I had just finished a show (the Broadway production of Pippin) in September, and this started in October, and I have a house in Toronto, which made it convenient.
"But mostly, it was the script. I spoke to (series co-creator and executive producer) Katie Ford, and I loved that she was willing to be so collaborative, and then I met the cast... and I thought, 'Whoa, what part of this is wrong?' Everything just seemed to come together."
Working the Engels is a single-camera comedy that follows the struggles of a slightly dysfunctional family forced to work together after the patriarch dies and it's revealed his storefront law-office operation has left them thousands of dollars in debt.
The situation seems hopeless until youngest daughter Jenna (Kacey Rohl) decides to abandon her pursuit of a partnership in a big-city law firm and moves home to run the family business. Ciel declares that the best way for the office to succeed is for everyone to pitch in -- which is awkward, because Jenna's the only one qualified to practise law.
Ciel slots herself in as the firm's paralegal; older daughter Sandy (Azura Skye), an avid (former) user of prescription drugs who has never held down a full-time job, signs on as receptionist; son Jimmy (Benjamin Arthur), a low-level con artist and general ne'er-do-well, decides he can help out as the firm's in-house investigator.
Wackiness, of course, ensues.
Working the Engels starts out as something of a hit-and-miss affair, laughs-wise, but its family-first attitude and smarter-than-it-looks approach to comedy inspire immediate comparisons to Less Than Kind, the beloved shot-in-Winnipeg sitcom that enjoyed a four-season run on Citytv and HBO Canada.
Martin says the depth with which the show's characters are written made the scripts stand out.
"I loved the fact that Ciel was not a clichéd mother," she explains. "So much of what you see on TV these days is either crazily narcissistic or drunk or constantly putting the kids down. With this, I just felt there was great potential to make a character that had some depth -- I was impressed by the fact that even though she's self-involved and neurotic, she's also enormously loving and protective of her children. Her heart is in a very real place.
"That was the basis of it, and it's a great base -- once you have that, you can put flourishes of comedy on it. This isn't superficial. In some ways, this felt less like a sitcom and more like a little independent movie."
For the show's other cast members, who are all too young to have followed Martin's early career on SCTV, having such a veteran performer on set was like beginning an extended master class in comedy.
"Even though I wasn't around when (SCTV) aired, my mother raised me on the comedy greats, and Andrea is obviously one of them," says Rohl, 22, whose previous TV credits include The Killing and Hannibal. "The first day on set, I immediately went into sponge mode, trying to absorb as much of her process and how she lives her life as possible. It probably got a bit creepy at times, because there was a bit of hero worship happening.
"She's amazing, really. She's very inspiring. And what I've learned from her is that you have to go 110 per cent or not at all -- you have to fully commit and put your back into it, which she does every day. She comes in fully prepared, she brings really great stuff to the table, she's incredibly collaborative and she makes it a great space to create and have fun in. She was a fantastic leader."
For Arthur, last seen as Less Than Kind's less-than-bright older brother Josh, working with Martin reminded him of toiling under the watchful eye of LTK's show-runner, Kids in the Hall veteran Mark McKinney.
"They're both masters who make you feel very comfortable and completely at ease," he explains. "They really set a tone that makes you feel safe; they create this amazing little playground in which you can just run around and be crazy.
"After a while, you get kind of addicted to making Mark McKinney laugh behind the monitor or making Andrea Martin laugh on the set. It's an amazing feeling."

WITH the revival of a classic play, its first in-house musical since March last year and some exciting visiting companies, Salisbury Playhouse has launched its new spring/summer season.
Artistic director Gareth Machin launched the new season on Friday and told the Friends of the Playhouse they have a "tremendous programme"
lined up.
Once the theatre's pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, has finished, the new season kicks off with four special one-night shows.
On January 11 the Swingle Singers celebrate their 50th anniversary with a show in the main house. Playwright Michael Frayn comes to the theatre on January 12 to talk about his plays and his new novel Skios.
A one-man performance of Animal Farm is on January 18, and musical actress Ruthie Henshall will take the audience on a journey through her career on January 19.
The first show the Playhouse is producing this season is a revival of the JB Priestley classic Dangerous Corner, a drama about a group of young publishing executives on a country retreat. This will be followed by Alan Ayckbourn's Joking Apart from February 27, a co-production with Nottingham Playhouse Theatre.
After three sell-out seasons in the West End, Yes, Prime Minister is coming to the Playhouse for a week in April before the Everyman Theatre Cheltenham brings Laurie Lee's Cider With Rosie to the main house.
From April 25 the Playhouse will be performing its first musical since Guys and Dolls, A Man of No Importance. The musical has been successful in America but this will be the first time it has been produced in regional theatre in Britain.
Romantic comedy Less Than Kind by Terence Rattigan follows in May and Laura Wade's Alice, a retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll tale, sees Stage '65, the Playhouse's youth theatre, in the main house in June.
There will be a host of innovative contemporary productions in the Salberg Studio, including Portraits in Song and My Perfect Mind.

It all was supposed to take off by New Year's Day. Yet now the Obama administration has handed another gift to Affordable Care Act critics by changing the rules again. The goal of health care reform remains worthy. It's the administration's competence in implementing the law that is lacking and undermining public confidence.

24-year-old Rachel Frederickson of Stillwater will appear on "The Biggest Loser"
A familiar face will enter St. Croix Valley living rooms on the 15th season premiere of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" on Oct. 15.
Twenty-four year old Rachel Frederickson, a 2007 graduate of Stillwater Area High School, where she was a three-time state champion swimmer, decided in June to stop hiding and embark on what she calls a wonderful journey.
"It has been so wonderful to be on "The Biggest Loser" at the ranch and be able to transform my whole life. I hid my life for six years after turning to food and the whole experience has been truly rewarding," Frederickson said.
Filming for this season began at the end of June and finishes in mid-October when contestants go home. They'll return for their final weigh-in during a live Feb. 4 show, competing for a $250,000 grand prize. See more in Stillwater Gazette exclusive by Avery Cropp.

Imagine you're pregnant and live hours away from the nearest hospital. Suddenly, you start having painful early contractions. You don't have hours. The baby must be delivered now. What do you do?
Sounds like something out of movie, right? Well, maybe not. For Louisiana resident Andrea Johnson and her husband James, this was no Hollywood scenario. Andrea, who lives three hours away from the nearest hospital, started experiencing early contractions and was forced to undergo the stressful process of giving birth in her car at home with only her husband for assistance.
To guide them, the couple used the First Opinion App. It's one of several services, including American Well, Doctor on Demand and MeMD , that put you in touch with a doctor via smartphone or computer within minutes.
So, Andrea and James fired up the app and started texting directly with a doctor, who guided the couple through the most important mission of their lives. With only the text instructions, James delivered a beautiful baby boy.
Whether you have given birth before or not, I'm sure the thought of delivering your own baby via text messaging medical care has rarely, OK– NEVER, crossed your mind. Doctors and nurses go to school for years to become thoroughly educated on how to perform the process of bringing life into this world; yet, this couple did it with simple text message instructions. Pretty cool.
What would you do this in this situation? Have you ever thought of turning to technology in a medical emergency? Are you worried about any risks? Let us know!
Oh, our best to Baby Johnson and his whole tech-savvy clan.

Happy FerreeI have a friend who recently moved away to work for a new company that has multiple locations. I wanted to send him an e-mail but did not have an address so I Googled the company and looked for a staff directory. The directory had pictures of the employees with their names attached and a button that said "e-mail me" next to each name. I scrolled through the list and came to a picture of this cute guy (who is not the guy I was searching for) and almost fell out of the chair when I saw his name - his name is Happy Ferree. LOL. I think if that was my name I would have it legally changed.
funny great reading thankx
Love being gay, great story.
I dont care. Its funny
Almost as bad as three old men who lived in our town when I was a lad? Pansy, Posey and Shirley were all named by their parents and as men, I would have had my name changed immediately!
I'm with you. A name change might be appropriate! Thanks
I wonder about names. I really do. I read a book on Jack the Ripper. Oh! the names.

Micheal Kidney lover of tall thin victim Elizabeth Stride, Mr. Neate ( keeper of the Records Office) and Detective Sgt Wm. Thick. Real people!

And there was a gay community in Tite St. Oscar Wilde live at No. 16. Whistler - don't know if he was gay or not- lived at 28.
I know freeinsc meant no harm and the name does look like it could be pronounced "HAPPY FAIRY" Oh well funny to me!
I have the pleasure to work with Happy. His last name is pronounced like Free, There is a very good reason his parents named him Happy. If anyone deserved the name he does. He is a kind and cheerful person. He is great with customers and always has a positive attitude. He is admired by customers and co-workers. I am offend that you would make such a rude comment about someone about whom you know nothing.
Being straight I think I'd make that change! But then, if I changed my name to say, Wannabe Ladyrider, I'd get contacts from a load of women that would not float my boat!
You wouldn't want to be a Happy Fairy...er...ah..Ferree? LOL. I agree, I would change it too.

ASK A QUESTION discúlpame
8 Answers
Disculpame is something you'd say if you bumped into someone, you'd say disculpame...which is different from if you'd want to pass someone, you'd say con permiso. Pardoname is another form of disculpame.
- discúlpame perdóname - 0074b507 Sep 16, 2009 flag
- You need the accents for correct spelling and pronunciation! - --Mariana-- Sep 16, 2009 flag
so its kind of like "excuse me"
"Yes, it is very much like "excuse me."
I have also heard that one can simply say, "disculpe" to mean "excuse me, without making it reflexive.
¿Sí o no?
Plainly stated, "disculpame" means "I'm sorry".
Perhaps you bumped into someone while inattentive or stepped on someone's foot. If so, "¡Disculpame!" is the appropriate exclamation. If you spill red wine on a man's white shirt, "¡Ay! ¡Caramba! ¡Disculpame!" is surely appropriate.
In another entry, you asked about "con permisso". It is probably not possible to understand "con permisso" without also understanding "disculpame" and "perdóname".
As JohnJuan and Qfreed have stated, "perdóname " is the same as "disculpame". Another synonym for "disculpame" is "lo siento" which also means sorry.
There is a book called "Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish" by Joseph Keenan that spends a whole page talking about the nuances of excuse me or pardon me in Spanish.
Perdoname is a bit more formal like when we say "Parden me" which many youth may or may not understand but most would understand "excuse me". When I was in Guatemala I was told it was best not to use the "Perdoname" because it sounded more like "Forgive me" rather than excuse me so it also depends on where you are and what group of people you are speaking with. The same applies here in the US. Example: If a person from England comes here they may be speaking proper English but that does not mean they will be understood by someone in Alabama. Con Permiso means "with permission". so this is very useful when trying to move through a crowd rather than asking everyone to forgive you.
- Whoops! Your fingers goofed and turned "Pardon" into "Parden." Pesky little fingers! ;) - territurtle Dec 20, 2011 flag
Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo, desde ese Septiembre en 2009, así que está bien: como es navidad, te disculpo.
- ;) - territurtle Dec 20, 2011 flag
so its kind of like "excuse me"
discúlpame - used when asking for information or directions. It means excuse me ... where is the ...
perdóname o perdón - used when you do something wrong or a mistake (bump into someone). It means forgive me.

Robust Findings:
The global temperature (or heat content) of the oceans has increased since 1955. {5.2}
Large-scale regionally coherent trends in salinity have been observed over recent decades with freshening in subpolar regions and increased salinity in the shallower parts of the tropics and subtropics. These trends are consistent with changes in precipitation and inferred larger water transport in the atmosphere from low latitudes to high latitudes and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. {5.2}
Global average sea level rose during the 20th century. There is high confidence that the rate of sea level rise increased between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. During 1993 to 2003, sea level rose more rapidly than during 1961 to 2003. {5.5}
Thermal expansion of the ocean and loss of mass from glaciers and ice caps made substantial contributions to the observed sea level rise. {5.5}
The observed rate of sea level rise from 1993 to 2003 is consistent with the sum of observed contributions from thermal expansion and loss of land ice. {5.5}
The rate of sea level change over recent decades has not been geographically uniform. {5.5}
As a result of uptake of anthropogenic CO2 since 1750, the acidity of the surface ocean has increased. {5.4, 7.3}
Key Uncertainties:
Limitations in ocean sampling imply that decadal variability in global heat content, salinity and sea level changes can only be evaluated with moderate confidence. {5.2, 5.5}
There is low confidence in observations of trends in the MOC. {Box 5.1}
Global average sea level rise from 1961 to 2003 appears to be larger than can be explained by thermal expansion and land ice melting. {5.5}

A 31st Test century from captain Ricky Ponting helped Australia avoid an embarrassing defeat to minnow Bangladesh in the first Test in Fatullah, but only by three wickets.
Ponting, who finished unbeaten on 118, withstood a rapid loss of partners to rebuff Bangladeshi claims for only their second Test win, guiding the tourists past the victory target (307) 25 minutes after lunch.
The on-song Australian skipper wasted no time after the restart, cracking three boundaries in consecutive overs to complete a comeback three-wicket win to the relief of the touring party.
The current No.1 ranked Test batsman in the world - following a remarkable year with the bat - once again provided stubborn resistance as the tourists teetered on the brink of defeat.
He survived a dropped catch on 97 to build a seventh-wicket stand of 46 with Brett Lee and steady the ship after the early loss of overnight not out batsman Adam Gilchrist.
Lee came to the middle after Gilchrist (12) and Shane Warne (five) had succumbed to the wizardry of Mohammad Rafique in the first half-hour of play.
After impressing with a patient 144 on days two and three, Gilchrist lapsed back to bad habits when he played across the line to a spinning delivery which pitched and uprooted off stump.
Then, when a clearly undecided Aleem Dar adjudged Warne leg before in Rafique's following over, the Australians had slumped from a comfortable 173-1 to 231-6 - still 76 runs short of a winning total.
But Lee again highlighted his blossoming status as a Test all-rounder with a watchful, and often untroubled, 29 despite the deteriorating status of the pitch.
In an innings reminiscent of his heroics in saving the third Ashes Test in Manchester, Lee carefully selected the deliveries to attack from nudging singles to crashing a huge six back over Enamul Haque's head.
However, just when it seemed he and Ponting would see off the second new ball, he edged paceman Mashrafe Mortaza to wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud to set Aussie pulses racing again.
Ponting then survived a dropped chance by Mortaza in the deep in the penultimate over of the morning session before finishing the job in style after the break.
Rafique produced another creditable haul of 4-98 to finish with his best Test match bowling figures of 9-160 in his 25th appearance.
With valuable support from fellow spinner Enamul and opening batsman Shahriar Nafees, Rafique's nine wickets were the mainstay of Bangladesh's unlikely assault on Australia's No.1 Test status and surpassed his 7-116 against Pakistan in Multan in 2003.

John Keats Cause Of Death
March 9, 2012 by staff
John Keats Cause Of Death, John Keats (31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. Along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was one of the key figures in the second generation of the Romantic movement, despite the fact that his work had been in publication for only four years before his death.
Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death to the extent that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He has had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers: Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.
The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular andanlyzed in English literature.
The first months of 1821 marked a slow and steady decline into the final stage of tuberculosis. Keats was coughing up blood and covered in sweat. Severn nursed him devotedly and observed in a letter how he would sometimes cry upon waking to find himself still alive. Severn writes,
"Keats raves till I am in a complete tremble for him…about four, the approaches of death came on. [Keats said] 'Severn-I-lift me up-I am dying-I shall die easy; don't be frightened-be firm, and thank God it has come.' I lifted him up in my arms. The phlegm seem'd boiling in his throat, and increased until eleven, when he gradually sank into death, so quiet, that I still thought he slept."
Keats's grave in Rome
John Keats died on 23 February 1821 and was buried in the Protestant Cemetery, Rome. His last request was to be placed under an unnamed tombstone which contained only the words (in pentameter), "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." Severn and Brown erected the stone, which under a relief of a lyre with broken strings, contains the epitaph:
"This Grave / contains all that was Mortal / of a / Young English Poet / Who / on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart / at the Malicious Power of his Enemies / Desired / these Words to be / engraven on his Tomb Stone: / Here lies One / Whose Name was writ in Water. 24 February 1821″
There is a discrepancy of one day between the official date of death and the grave marking. Severn and Brown added their lines to the stone in protest at the critical reception of Keats's work. Hunt blamed his death on the Quarterly Review's scathing attack of "Endymion". As Byron quipped in his narrative poem Don Juan;
Seven weeks after the funeral Shelley memorialised Keats in his poem Adonaïs. Clark saw to the planting of daisies on the grave, saying that Keats would have wished it. For public health reasons, the Italian health authorities burned the furniture in Keats's room, scraped the walls, made new windows, doors and flooring. The ashes of Shelley, one of Keats's most fervent champions, are buried within the cemetery and Joseph Severn's body is buried next to Keats. Describing the vista of the site today, Marsh wrote, "In the old part of the graveyard, barely a field when Keats was buried here, there are now umbrella pines, myrtle shrubs, roses, and carpets of wild violets".

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced an homosexual man to three years in prison and 450 lashes for using his Twitter account to promote homosexual contacts.
The man, 24, was arrested after he posted several tweets calling for homosexual relations and expressing his readiness to meet gay men, local daily Al Watanreported on Tuesday.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, the religious police, was alerted about the tweets and was able to apprehend the young man after it set him up using an undercover agent.
His mobile phone was searched and several "immoral" pictures were discovered, prompting the Commission to refer his case to the public prosecution.
During the trial, the prosecutor requested a harsh punishment and the confiscation of the mobile phone on charges of promoting debauchery.
The suspect reportedly admitted to using his account on the microblog to contact and communicate with homosexuals.
The court decided that the 450 lashes would be given over 15 sessions.
Homosexuality is banned in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states that also comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE.

Forever 21 Joins The Collaboration Game
Forever 21 is already taking over with their affordable fashion and forays into beauty and home design, but now they've decided it's time to bring a bit of designer experience into their stores. In an effort to match their fellow fast fashion brands like H&M and Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 signed a deal with designer Brian Lichtenberg to create graphic T-shirts. Now, we'll reserve our comments about graphic T-shirts as a whole (ahem, Ed Hardy) until we see them, because Brian does in fact have celeb credibility. Interestingly enough, the brand decided to give Brian creative control over the same clothing item as the celebrities who design t-shirts for Forever 21. Now, will we see designers like Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano sign up to create their own F21 collabs? [WWD]

Amazon's Kindle Fire seems making the trend in touch pad world with the very attractive price of $199. But according to iSuppli, seems Amazon is losing about $10 per tablet. the estimated build cost of the device is said to be $209.63, where $191.65 would be the cost of materials with $8.40 manufacturing costs and $9.58 margin.
According to the sources, two facts can be highlighted as answers for the big question, why ?
1. Every 1 out of 4 people (27 % to the exact amount) purchase kind of accessories for the device from Amazon, having high margins.But this may be making some backup but not completely.
2. Amazon is heavily marketing the shopping at own retail shop, where that would create a wider business model. The company is trying to get the maximum advantage from the industry being the largest retail store as well as a touch pad manufacturer. The significant fact here is that the other retailers like walmart are not related with any type of kindle kind of thing which can be used for promoting retail everyday goods. On the other hand, successful device makers like Apple are targeting on the hardware and content selling of the devices. So seems Amazon is making a unique business model with Kindle Fire.

Hey there, time traveller!

Money Marts, Cash Stores and other payday lenders aren't getting a break on tough provincial regulations.
That's the upshot of a decision released today by the Public Utilities Board, tasked with reviewing the province's three-year-old cap on the cost of payday loans.
The cost of credit for a payday loan remains unchanged at 17 per cent of the principal loaned, and that the borrowing limit remain at 30 per cent of a borrower's net pay.
"In finding that these key provisions remain unchanged, the board concludes that the payday loan industry remains financially viable in Manitoba," said the PUB. "The board does not accept the proposition of lenders that the rates should be increased and that competition will drive the market rate down."
Payday lenders have long balked at the province's rules, and asked the PUB to loosen the rules at hearings earlier this year.

Just how desperately is MSNBC trying to shelter viewers from the ever-changing story coming out of the White House concerning the four Americans killed at our consulate in Libya?
The network on Tuesday edited a reporter asking the President, "Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
REUTERS: How are you feeling about tonight?
OBAMA (smiling): I feel fabulous. Look at this beautiful day.
NBC: Are you aware Michelle voted for you yesterday?
OBAMA (turning to yell back): Thank goodness!
POLITICO: Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?
OBAMA: (Silence. Kept walking.)
As you can see from the transcript provided by Free Beacon and the clip from CNN, Obama answered the first two questions but ignored the one about Benghazi.
Yet when MSNBC played this sequence for viewers at 12:01 PM Tuesday, the clip ended with Obama's answer about Michelle voting for him.
And MSNBC has the nerve to call itself a "news network."

We've all been there: the pounding headache of a hangover, the groggy nausea of an upset tummy, the throbbing rage of a stressful day at work. There are some challenges in life whose only resolution comes from a drive-thru window. Thus, in homage to the holistic powers of fast food condiments, this week's Dinner Rush! is all about the miracle elixir known only as "secret sauce."
It's remarkably easy to bring the quintessential flavor of a fast food burger to your own barbecue. Having earned its acclaim on a stage of two all-beef patties, the sauce is obviously rock star on cheeseburgers, but it could also be used to elevate otherwise drive-thru-aspirational meals such as grilled chicken, steaks or even fish.
So, after all this buildup, prepare to be amazed as I tell you that the secret is to simply take all things otherwise delicious on a burger and mix them together. That's it. The sauce is really that simple: six ingredients, one euphoric condiment and a lifetime of drive-thru bliss from the convenience of your own backyard.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/6/2013 (1524 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It began 18 years ago. That's in what we now quaintly call "real time" -- the time that passes as the clock ticking next to you registers the seconds and the minutes.
The movie was called Before Sunrise. That's when the two fictional lovers met on a train to Vienna. And couldn't seem to part.
Then, in 2004, came its sequel, Before Sunset. And now, the finest film of 2013 so far, Before Midnight, also starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, hits the silver screen.
In the three films, we have come to care deeply about these two extraordinary people. We are now watching them nine years later on holiday in Greece with their children.
It is a singular film achievement that we have watched these two performers over 18 years playing roles which they have always, in part, created as well as enacted. But it is equally singular -- and probably far more important -- to know that you will absolutely not need to have seen either Before Sunrise and Before Sunset to enjoy the brilliance of Before Midnight.
If you have, you're seeing something altogether amazing, quite beyond any continuing tale starring two actors you've seen before.
Before Midnight is the story of Jesse and Celine, two 40-somethings with twin daughters and a son from his previous marriage who has just had what the teen calls the best summer of his life with the four of them in Greece.
And that, smack in the middle of Jesse's loving paternal heart, is where the trouble starts. As Jesse says goodbye to his son at the airport, he is riven with remorse. His son is about to fly back to his alcoholic mother in Chicago while his father and his beautiful family live an ocean away in Paris.
Jesse is torn up, so much so that he even entertains thoughts of trying to convince Celine to move the family to Chicago so they can all be close to the teenage boy they love so dearly.
But then Celine wonders about a job with her old boss in Paris, which she describes to Jesse as the job of a lifetime.
Given the utter incompatibility of the secret desires, it is remarkable that the conflict that we see unfold in close to "real time" is as civilized and well-behaved as it is.
The point here is talk, talk, talk. Talk is how these people met and fell in love. Talk is how they inch their way into this terrible conflict of feelings that has shown up in the deepest layer of their relationship.
It has to be admitted that no movie as wall-to-wall with talk -- and with so many walk-and-talk scenes filmed in astonishingly long single takes -- would rivet your attentions equally with every single word.
But what this movie forces you to see is that underneath every one of those copiously flowing words, there is a dramatic fissure that has developed between the two lead characters.
Something terrible is threatening. And so much basic stuff is involved that it's going to be very rocky indeed.
That's the movie. And it is sometimes wickedly funny. These are people to whom sarcasm is one of the basic forms of speech. Their verbal facility is probably the most obvious thing they love about each other. It's also the thing that can get them into trouble so easily.
They never cease to surprise us.
