Word of the Week - Old
As predicted last week, this weeks word is old, however, I don't feel as bad about it as I was expecting too. I've been expecting it for a while you see, it nibbles away at you sometimes. When you are young birthdays are mostly a time of fun and celebration with lots of looking forward. Then you find yourself speeding towards old age and suddenly you wish the birthdays would just stop already. This wasn't a big birthday, that's next year, but it's one step towards it. I remember going to a 50th birthday party many moons ago and thinking why would anyone want to celebrate being THAT OLD! Ah the ignorance of youth. You have no choice, it's going to happen anyway, so why not make the most of it.
So, my birthday is over now and I'm a year older this Friday than I was last week. I don't really feel any different though. My main gift was to go and see Kasabian live at the LG arena. I've seen them several times before and I love them. I know they are not everyone's cup of tea and as a regular listener to Il Divo and Michael Buble, it does surprise people sometimes. Now, when I've seen them before it's been in smaller places like the NIA. So I was a little worried about the LG arena and it's hugeness, particularly as I'm not good in crowds. But on the night I really let my hair down and I was in the 'mosh pit' albeit not right in the middle, there were thousands there and most of them were behind me...eeek! The woman not far from me looked a fair bit older than me, and there were two guys in the seats to my right who had to be at least 20 years older than me!! Wow! If they can do it so can I. I had the time of my life.
The next day I was aching from being on my feet all night dancing but my head was clear and I was good.
This year, for a change, most of my family remembered my birthday without prompting. (not that I would prompt anyway, which is probably where I've always gone wrong.) I had some lovely gifts and cards. We had lunch out and a take out for dinner and I didn't have to do the washing up. It was a good day, and so what if I'm a year older, it happens to everyone.
So, my word is old but I still feel young, so it's not a bad word. And everytime I tell someone my age and they look shocked and reply "I didn't realise you were that old" I will take it as a compliment (whether they mean it or not!)
By the way, on my birthday the Little Man decided that I was 35, so if you don't mind, that's how old I will be for now.

You're only as old as you feel...hehehe Happy belated birthday!ReplyDeleteReplies
I like the saying, you're only as old as the man you feel...hehehe especially as I have a toyboy ;)Delete
The older I get the more I realise age is just a number. It sounds like you had a lovely birthday xReplyDelete
Yes, be 35! Glad you had a fab night out and that you don't actually feel bad about another birthday. I like my birthdays, but maybe the time will come when I don't...we will see...! Thanks for sharing with #WotWReplyDelete
Happy 35th birthday! I love to watch live bands and I miss doing it. I also prefer more intimate venues but the ones with lots of people is nice as well. #wotwReplyDelete
Happy belated 35th birthday! I just keep turning 25 despite being born over 40 years ago. Although, the number makes us all "feel" old in reality I think my mentality is often still stuck in my 30s and some days I do act like I'm 25. Gotta love Little Man for deciding from now on you are to be turning 35...my kids just say, "Dang Mom your getting to be soooooo old!" I just laugh because one day it will be my turn to tease them about their "middle" aged birthdays.ReplyDelete
Stopping by via #WotW.
It is so nice of you to stop by my blog, I would love for you to leave a comment too. I will reply to as many as I can and if you are a blogger you can expect a return visit from me. Many thanks, Anne xx

KOCHI, INDIA – No other country has anything like it – an annual jamboree of its diaspora, conducted with great fanfare by its government. India has been doing it, with great success, for a decade, timed to recall the return to India of the most famous Indian expatriate of them all, Mahatma Gandhi, who alighted from his South African ship in Bombay on January 9, 1915. As I write, the southern port city of Kochi is overflowing with expatriate Indians celebrating their connection to their motherland.
India is the only country that has an official acronym for its expatriates — NRIs, or "Non-Resident Indians." In my book India: From Midnight to the Millennium, I suggested, only half-jokingly, that the question is whether NRI should stand for "Not Really Indian" or "Never Relinquished India."
Of course, the nearly 25 million people of Indian descent who live abroad fall into both categories. But the 1,600 delegates who flocked to Kochi from 61 countries for the eleventh Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (Expatriate Indians' Day) celebrations this month were firmly in the latter camp. They were in India to affirm their claim to it.
It was curiously appropriate that the event, organized by the Ministry for Overseas Indian Affairs (another unique Indian creation) in cooperation with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, took place in Kochi this year. After all, though the state of Kerala contains just 3% of the country's population, it accounts for the largest number of Indians living and working abroad.

I'm selling a Single Initial D v.1 cabinet. Bought it as a twin but only had space for one, so I sold the other one 3 years ago. The v.1 twins are both masters, so they each have their own powersupply. It's in great condition but I wouldn't call it mint. Some stickers have minor damage (and are in Italian) and both monitor sidepanels have minor yellowing (The sun in the images makes it look worse than it is, it's only a bit more yellow than the perfectly white seat-plastic) but aside from that, it is in great shape condition wise. She's a beauty!
Everything works except the Naomi 2 mobo. The Naomi 2 mobo has GPU issue's with one of it's cores and needs to be replaced (see the blocks on the testscreen, 50% are fine and sharp and the otherones are very glitchy. It looks the same in-game) The FFB, cardreaders, monitor and pedals are all working as they should be. I've played it for atleast 80 hours (if not more) and I've never encountered any issue's except the Naomi 2 mobo dying on me.
A 512mb netdimm is included, which is currently running in netboot mode. It also has a GD-Rom drive with the original Initial D V.1 (But that version is ****, you want v.2 or v.3, they're godlike). You can play other driving games in this cabinet aswell if you own the right equipment, I know that Outrun 2 is fully supported (this cabinet is often converted to a Outrun 2) and WMMT should work with no shifting and ffb.
Finally, there are the awesome extra's. It comes with about 85 ID V.3 cards (I used 15 of the 100 I bought), the dedicated sub-woofer that is under the seat in V.2/v.3 (Never got around installing it) and the link cables used to connect both cabinets with each-other! (Might be useful?)
Price: €850 ---> 700
Pick-up only at my parents house in the south of the Netherlands, called Sittard.
Shoot me a PM if you're interest or have any questions!

Author | exchange4media News Service | Tuesday, Jul 17,2007 9:07 AM
The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has directed Tata Sky to pay Zee Turner the total outstanding amount due of around Rs 9 crore or face disconnection. The sum amounts for the period between September 2006 and April 23, 2007, during which Tata Sky aired 32 channels of Zee Turner at the rate of Rs 75 per subscriber per month, as was fixed by TDSAT.
Tata Sky wanted to take only 19 channels of Zee Turner for distribution from its platform, whereas Zee Turner asked Tata Sky to carry all of its 32 channels in accordance with an earlier TDSAT judgment. Tata Sky was not willing to distribute all the 32 channels and thereby it approached TDSAT.
In its final judgment on March 31 this year, TDSAT accepted the contention of Tata Sky and held that the DTH service provider could carry 19 channels of Zee Turner, comprised in bouquet-I and bouquet-II, at the rate Rs 42 per subscriber per month. Tata Sky discontinued and removed the balance 13 channels of Zee Turner from its DTH platform with effect from April 23 this year. Zee Turner then appealed to the Supreme Court against the TDSAT judgment.
A rate of Rs 75 per subscriber per month for 32 channels of Zee Turner to be aired by Tata Sky was then determined by TDSAT. Tata Sky refused to pay and instead agreed to pay Rs 42 per subscriber per month for 32 channels.
Tata Sky again approached the TDSAT on July 13 this year to get a refund for the amount of Rs 75 per subscriber per month that they were earlier made to pay, which, according to them, was in excess of what they were supposed to pay. The TDSAT, after hearing both the parties on July 14, dismissed Tata Sky's petition. Tata Sky then requested TDSAT to allow them two weeks' time to make the payment of the entire outstanding amount.
TDSAT has granted two weeks' time to Tata Sky to make the entire outstanding payment, failing which Zee Turner shall be at liberty to take action, including deactivation of its channels to Tata Sky.

Southern Gardening: Choose color for containers
Ambitious gardeners and their beautiful, themed gardens amaze me every year with their creativity. With the Independence Day holiday upon us, the most popular theme right now is red, white and blue plantings.
I have always wanted to do one of these themed landscape displays, and in my line of work, you would think it would be no problem and assume I've done several. But like the shoemaker's kids who run around barefoot, sometimes my own landscape suffers during the busy seasons.
I decided this past weekend that, by golly, I was going to have a themed red, white and blue display of my own.

Saturday Results
HAMBURG, N.J. - The Penn men's golf team is in third place after two rounds at the 2006 Ivy League Championships.
Playing amid horrible, soaking conditions on the par-72, 6795-yard Ballyowen GC, the Quakers came back from a first-round 315 to post a second-round 308 for a total score of 623 (+47). That places them behind leader Princeton (303-300--603) and second-place Columbia (301-306--607), buttwo strokes ahead of fourth-place Brown (315-310--625).
Sean Barrett was Penn's leader through Saturday's play. The junior, an All-Ivy player a year ago, fired 76-75--151 (+7) and is tied for fifth overall. Senior Derek Rogers did not play last week at Navy, but was inserted back into the lineup for this weekend and responded with 78-75--153 (+9) to place him in a tie for 10th.
Nick Ryder carded an 80-77--157 (+13), which has him tied for 18th overall, while freshman Michael Blodgett went a consistent 81-81--162 (+18) and is 28th. Right behind him, fifth among Penn's players and 29th overall, is Dean Merrill who carded an 82-82--164 (+20).
Brown's Larry Haertel leads the individual chase after carding a 74-70--144 (E) Saturday; he is two strokes ahead of Columbia's Chris Condello who shot 73-73--146 (+2). D.J. Hynes of Harvard is third (70-78--148, +4) and Princeton's Jason Gerken is fourth (78-72-150, +6).
Final-round action takes place tomorrow at Ballyowen.

An Binh, Vietnam • Nineteen tigers prowl outdoor cages the size of dormitory rooms, nibbling frayed wire fences and roaring at a caretaker who taunts them with his sandal.
It looks like a zoo, but it's closed to the public. The facility breeds tigers, but has never supplied a conservation program with any animals nor sold any to zoos.
Conservationists allege that Vietnam's 11 registered tiger farms, including this one, are fronts for a thriving illegal market in tiger parts, highly prized for purported if unproven medicinal qualities.

Liver Detox – 16 Natural Ways to Cleanse Your Liver
Your liver acts as a cleaning filter for your blood. Both bacteria and toxins that make it through the digestive tract, skin and respiratory system are detoxed by the liver. When your liver is overworked due to stress or the buildup of toxins, your whole body will be thrown out of balance. The liver also produces bile, while is necessary form of detoxification. This form of detox breaks down and assimilates fats and proteins from the food that you eat. Without a healthy liver, your body can't absorb nutrients from food properly, nor cleanse itself of toxins. Overeating, highly processed foods, stress, and pollutants all cause your liver to be overworked. Fortunately, there are many foods that assist a liver detox by naturally stimulating its ability to flush the body of waste.

From 365 Ways to Cook Pasta
Top Review by averybird
This was a tasty and quick dinner. Mine did not get very saucy though- more like pasta tossed lightly in olive oil with the grated veggies. I kicked things up a notch by adding extra garlic cloves, some garlic powder, and extra cheese. It held up great as leftovers the next day. A nice summer pasta dish, thank you!

The "Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans," which are made by the brand PRPS, "embody rugged, Americana workwear that's seen some hard-working action,"according to Nordstrom's website.
The mud "shows you're not afraid to get down and dirty," the website says.
But the jeans are being ridiculed online.
"This is a joke, right?" one user commented on Nordstrom's site in a post that has since been deleted. "Do you also sell jeans covered in cow manure? Oh, that must be the deluxe model."
Another deleted comment said: "Gotta love being able to look like I have fed the pigs, helped deliver a calf, and get the tractor unstuck without ever having to leave my BMW."
Mike Rowe, who hosts the TV show "Dirty Jobs" on the Disovery Channel, wrote a blog post Monday calling out the pants.
"Finally — a pair of jeans that look like they have been worn by someone with a dirty job... made for people who don't," Rowe wrote.

As our friends at the Independent report:
For readers who haven't already died of heart attacks, the Independent clarifies:More Nato fighter jets are being scrambled to monitor and intercept Russian planes than at any time since the end of the Cold War as tensions continue to rise.
Around 780 deployments were made from European military bases last year in response to Russian aircraft, compared to just 410 in 2015.
So is this a terrifying case of unprecedented hordes of Russian warplanes zooming around — or NATO members pooping their adult diapers?Russian planes are not known to have violated international regulations or entered any EU nation's sovereign airspace, flying instead into "identification zones" in international airspace that are monitored for security.
Fish Finger for MP: Breaded finger of cod running against Lib Dem leader Tim Farron in June election
Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:39 UTC
Candidates standing for election in the UK must pay a deposit of £500, which is kept by the Treasury if the individual fails to get five percent of the constituency vote.
In his crowdfunding page, the candidate, who goes by the name Mr. Fish Finger, vowed to "knock Tim Farron off his perch and put him in his plaice."
It is believed the candidate for the Westmorland and Lonsdale seat in Cumbria will attend all campaigning events dressed as a fish finger.

Donald Trump's fake "show of force" against North Korea has resurrected an ancient question that many wise philosophers have pondered for thousands of years: Can Americans actually locate on a map the countries that they so desperately wish to bomb?
We apologize for the rhetorical question.
Of course, the North Korea "incident" was not due to poor navigational skills; it was nothing more than a fear-mongering distraction to boost television and approval ratings.
According to science, the answer is a resounding "no".

France cancels election!!! Media crowns Putin next French Emperor

Europe should stop holding elections. Everyone already knows that Putin will win
Hey French people — are you excited to go to the polls on Sunday and choose your next president? Of course not. All French citizens with a clue will stay home and count their baguettes, because they know that Vladimir Putin will be their next president. This is what we are being told by our trusted media. And when have they ever been wrong? We rest our case.
"Vladimir Putin's fortunes may be declining in the United States, but he is still well placed to win big in the French presidential election," writes Quartz, which apparently has double-checked the latest Gallup polls and knows that Putin has the French presidential election in the bag.
Here's the thing: Putin was slated to become France's next president months ago. The whole French election, starting with the primaries, has been a giant scam.
Why is Europe even holding "elections" anymore? Everyone knows that Putin will win. For example, we keep seeing naive fools on Twitter talk about the so-called UK "general election" in May.
Stop wasting your time with these rubber-stamp formalities. Putin will be elected the next Queen of England. And Prime Minister. He will also be crowned the "beef eater" guy with the funny hat who guards London's famous torture tower or whatever.
Serious question: Is Europe really this fragile and insecure? One guy can systematically dismember the West's glorious "democratic" institutions? Really makes you think.
Saskatchewan ranchers surprised to find cattle herd following behind beaver

Tue, 18 Apr 2017 10:11 UTC
On Friday, Ivey and her husband were surprised to see 150 of their heifers crowded together in one of their pastures.
Curious about the strange behaviour, they investigated further, to find the herd of cattle following a beaver that had wandered along.
"He was out and about, I think looking for a new place to build a beaver lodge, and they were following him," Ivey said. "There was about a three-foot space around him. They didn't want to get closer than that."
According to Ivey, heifers are more inquisitive than the average bovine, which may have led to them following the beaver.
"They're a curious bunch," she said. "They're kind of like teenagers. And I think they were following this thing around because they couldn't figure out what the heck it was."
North Korea unveils latest secret weapon - stealth bomber
Waterford Whispers News
Tue, 18 Apr 2017 20:00 UTC
The stealth bomber, a technology previously only held by the American air force, was paraded in full lack of view to the State media on an empty runway to considerable applause.
"Yet another mighty achievement for our Dear Leader," said one member of an adoring throng of North Koreans, not sure what he was supposed to be staring at. Kim Jong Un confirmed the stealth bomber stood at 900 feet tall and had 17 wings as well as possessing the ability to 'kill everything forever, all of the time'.
The empty airfield with nothing in it has sparked fears among the section of the Trump administration that would love a good war, with this latest incident placing that possibility unlikely.
"Dear God, they've invented the invisible bomb. We must act now," confirmed Vice President Mike Pence, who was in the middle of a 10-day stoking up fears and ramping up aggressive militaristic rhetoric trip to Asia.
Jong Un marked the unveiling of the new craft with a military procession of hundreds of thousands of malnourished military personnel.
'Hand of the Kremlin'? Out of 11 French Presidential Candidates, 7 'Pro-Putin'
Sat, 15 Apr 2017 16:24 UTC
A week before the presidential vote, French journalists are working hard to prevent people from making the wrong choice. This is quite possible, taking into account the fact that the majority of the candidates have shaken hands with the Kremlin, they have no idea what this handshake entails.
In an inquisitive article, L'Express once again brought up the subject of pro-Russia sentiments among the candidates and criticized Sputnik and RT for their support of this pro-Kremlin trend. Let's take a look at those "fascinated by the master of the Kremlin" and explore why these candidates have been labeled "pro-Russian."

Top 6 New Year's Resolutions for Manufacturers
Top 6 New Year's Resolutions for Manufacturers in 2015
January is a good time to reflect on the progress and achievements made over the previous year, and to plan where you want the business to be in the future months. Each year brings opportunities and challenges, so we've come up with a list of 6 top New Year's resolutions for Manufacturers, designed to help you establish what is important and how to achieve your goals. It is likely that cutting manufacturing costs was high on your agenda in 2014 and will continue to be important as customers demand lower prices without sacrificing product quality. Sustainable savings can derive from implementing smarter manufacturing processes such as supply chain technologies. Making even the smallest of changes in these 6 areas can significantly lower operating costs, boosting the bottom line.
With the right solution in place, you'll discover that anything is possible! Read our final Top Tip #6…
#1 Improve Visibility into Production – Having a lack of visibility and knowledge into production processes and inefficiencies can really impair the quality of decision making. Implement processes and systems which provide the data and information needed to collaborate between departments and make sound business decisions.
#2 Too much paperwork on the shop floor – Using paper based manual systems can result in inaccurate information and cause poor decisions to be made. Replace paper based systems with electronic systems to benefit from accurate real-time manufacturing intelligence which will have an immediate and positive impact on operations, needed for effective decision making.
#3 Increase Quality & Meet Regulatory Compliance – Fixing quality problems can be very time consuming and costly. Eliminate common quality problems and reduce the number of defect products for a healthy bottom line. Have real time and historical data required for meeting regulatory compliance and customer audits.
#4 Improve Product Genealogy & Traceability – Reduce the cost of product recall and the damaging affect to brand reputation caused by poor quality products. Track and trace a product from 'Farm to Fork' for increased product quality, safety, transparency and improved recall responsiveness.
#5 Tackle rising Energy costs – With rising manufacturing energy costs and the need to meet social responsibility policies, it is key to drill down into the factors that impact energy efficiency of existing assets and machinery, in order to eliminate unnecessary energy costs. Savings start with monitoring and recording energy consumption; so identify the activities that waste energy and put a strategy in place to reduce them.
#6 Have a platform for Continuous Improvement – CI is at the heart of any LEAN initiative and so having a dedicated CI team in place from day one is important to drive the process and journey forward. The role of the team is to get buy in from operators and stakeholders so that everybody understands what role they play in the improvement process and that they see the potential value of the program, departmentally and companywide. Evolving an improvement culture and strategy across the whole organisation is vital to a successful CI program.
All of these top challenges can be addressed by the support of MES technology, which will result in far better results and a quicker return on investment. For more information please contact Cimlogic on 01274 599955 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

With September fast approaching, EA Sports has had a year of development time to prepare the next iteration of the FIFA franchise. Last year's edition was an extension to a winning formula (read our review here), and it looks like there are no plans to largely change what has been a successful product – FIFA 13 is all about improved physics and AI, which was the same objective its developers had last year. The trick, however, is changing the gameplay but retaining that familiar style that fans and newbies alike evidently seem to love.
During E3 2012, we went hands on with an alpha build of FIFA 13 to test their improvements ourselves.
While the game is as visually stunning as ever, veterans of the franchise will quickly recognize that EA Sports spent less time improving graphics in favor of subtle AI improvements. While the game may look very similar to its predecessor, as soon as a player runs down the pitch with the ball, many subtle tweaks relating to ball physics, player statistics and tactical awareness become apparent, bringing lots of fresh ways for scenarios to pan out that wouldn't have been possible in previous games.
The developers of the game were quick to mention their strong focus on tactical AI improvements, demonstrating how a bunch of gameplay scenarios in FIFA 12 were ultimately hindered by faulty AI. They then went on to place the FIFA 13 AI in the same situation, with the computer now making smarter tactical choices that were more likely to play out in real life. Common annoyances like AI strikers jogging offside instead of curving their run, or defaulting into a formation position instead of recognizing a potential play, have finally been addressed.
By the time the whistle blew after the first game, it was evident that the artificial intelligence had learned some new tricks. Both offensive and defensive players reacted quickly as situations developed, and strikers seemed more eager to get into the right spots as early crosses came in. Though some players still had over-exaggerated ragdoll wipeouts, their physics and motions have definitely improved over last year, with player movement, impacts and ball control being as polished as ever.
Dribbling has always been an important element of gameplay, and this aspect has been drastically expanded upon for FIFA 13. Several new moves have been added, and players can now face away from the net when dribbling on the field, allowing for some fantastic movement which really switches up your options when on the attack. Free kicks also received a long-awaited change, with the attacking player now able to set up more intricate fake runs, and AI team-mates creatively trying to find open space instead of pre-determined locations and static runs. Conversely, the defending player can now add more people to his wall by guiding a player over next to it, where he will automatically join it. Players can even encroach upon the freekick taker to try and throw him off his game, but beware – if you get called out on it, you'll be getting carded. Freekicks were probably one of the weakest points in the franchise, having had the same formula for several years now — it's good to see that a fresh system has been put into place.
For those who like to get vocal with their gaming, it was announced that FIFA 13 will also feature full Kinect integration. While some may have jumped in worry upon hearing that, likely thinking that they actually have to make kicking motions or scissor kicks to play the game, the truth is much more simple — and much more useful. Players can use Kinect to shout commands to substitute players, change formations and switch tactics on the fly, without pausing the match. While it wasn't playable on the show floor, this feature will certainly save time and minimize gameplay interruptions, allowing fans the courtesy of non-stop gameplay from start to finish.
In short, EA Sports have spent a large portion of its time focusing on hundreds of tiny changes that, added together, overhaul the entire experience. FIFA has always been a top-notch sports game, as evident by its vast outselling of main competition Pro Evolution Soccer , and this year is looking to bring gamers more of what has become a highly stable and enjoyable annual product.
FIFA 13 is set for release September 30th for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, Vita, PSP, 3DS and PC.

Woodgate: I'm coming home
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Jonathan Woodgate has confirmed that he is on his way back to England.
Jonathan Woodgate has confirmed that he is on his way back to England.
The Real Madrid ace has been told by the Spanish giants that they want him to get regular first team football and he is ready to seal a switch back to The Premiership in the coming days.
Real have accepted at least one loan offer, as skysports.com can confirm that Middlesbrough have indeed made a move for the Teesside-born player.
Former club Newcastle also appear to be keen, while Arsenal are also being strongly linked to make a move - but Liverpool ruled themselves out of the running on Friday.
Woodgate himself has accepted the fact he will be spending next season in The Premiership.
"I am going away to play on loan for a year, in the next few hours I will know which team I will be playing for," he said.
"All the English that want me I like, and it will be a positive thing for me to return to England.
"I need to play games in order to prove I am strong and that I am totally recovered from injury, but here [Spain] it is hard to get continuity.
"It is better that I have one season playing in England and in one year I will return to Madrid and demonstrate that I am good football player."
Injuries have limited Woodgate to just nine league starts since his move £13.5 million from Newcastle in 2004.
Real still see a future for Woodgate but they want him to prove his fitness - although reports are suggesting that they will look to seal a deal for Roma star Cristian Chivu of Roma.
Chivu could arrive to help bolster Real's squad whilst Woodgate is away and then in 12 months the Englishman could compete for a place in Fabio Capello's squad.
Woodgate is expected to be involved for Real in Saturday's clash with Villarreal before sealing his move back to England.

Encyclopedia Dubuque
"Encyclopedia Dubuque is the online authority for all things Dubuque, written by the people who know the city best."
Marshall Cohen—researcher and producer, CNN
Graves' career in Dubuque began in 1856. When a state bank was suggested for Dubuque, he offered excellent recommendations. Caleb H. BOOTH, bank commissioner, finding himself faced with several of his friends also seeking the opportunity of establishing the bank chose Graves instead. When the state banking law was abolished, Graves' bank was converted into the FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DUBUQUE. Graves remained president of the bank until 1871 or 1872 when he sold his interests to D. N. COOLEY. (3)
Graves' re-entry into banking proved an immediate success. The bank was soon declaring annual dividends of ten percent while building a large surplus. (4) Concerns about the $104,000 First National Bank had lost in clearing up debts Graves had left were gradually forgotten. It was also understood that Julius K. GRAVES, brother of the bank's president, had a larger credit at the bank than might be wise. (5)
The Commercial National Bank Of Dubuque issued 2,400 sheets of $1 original series national bank notes. A print range between 1,000 and 2,500 is small. Some notes had a red charter number, others do not. Some had red serial numbers and some had blue serial numbers. Some were printed on white paper and others are printed on paper with a slight blue tint. (6)
The bank printed 2,400 sheets of $2 original series national bank notes. All $2 bills printed before 1875 are very rare. Most survivors represent the only known example for that bank. Collectors call these $2 bills "lazy deuces". The large two on the face of the bill was pictured horizontally making it look lazy. (7)
There were also 5,400 sheets printed of $5 original series national bank notes. Each five dollar original series bank note had a spiked red seal, the only design difference between it and later issues. The back of each note has a vignette of the state seal. (8)
The Commercial National Bank Of Dubuque also printed 2,780 sheets of $1 series of 1875 national bank notes. Hundreds of banks had sheet outputs between 2,500 and 5,000--typical for a medium sized national bank in the 1870s. Series of 1875 one dollar first charter national bank notes were only printed between 1875 and 1878, the shortest production period of any national bank note. (9)
A total of 2,780 sheets of $2 series of 1875 national bank notes were also printed by the bank. (10) The Commercial National Bank Of Dubuque printed 10,533 sheets, a high issue number for a national bank, of $5 series of 1875 national bank notes. (11)
In September, 1875 Commercial National Bank assumed the liabilities and assets of the PEOPLE'S SAVINGS BANK. (12) Mr. H. K. Love, president of People's Bank, had agreed to be the president of the Iowa National Bank in Des Moines. (13)
Problems began in 1885 when President Graves decided to hold Directors William Andrew and Henry L. STOUT responsible for large advances made on their recommendation to the DUBUQUE OATMEAL MILL. Having agreed to large loans made by President Graves, the two directors announced that they would withdraw their accounts in the bank if he remained in office. In May 1886, Graves sold his share in the bank to Caleb H. BOOTH and personally guaranteed the assets to be worth the amount paid. The contract of sale specified that on or about February, 1887 the board should fix the value of the stock. This led to the discovery of large loans involving bank officials made prior to the sale. J. K. Graves, when asked for a settlement of his debts, replied verbally that he had $100,000 "spot cash" to cover his obligations. On March 19 or 20, 1888, however, a demand for a written proposition from him proved that the "spot cash" was actually $50,000 in Iowa City common gas stock, $24,000 in Commercial bank stock, and his note for $30,000. This meeting caused the new directors to pass a resolution declaring the bank suspended. (14)
The Commercial National Bank closed its doors on March 20, 1888 with $444,059 due to depositors. The total liabilities were $518,310.
E. P. Welles, of Clinton, was appointed receiver. He charged violations of the law by the bank officials and on that ground asked for the forfeiture of its charter; he also charged that false statements had been made. Wells collected the one hundred percent assessment from some stockholders and recouped an estimated $25,000. The claims of syndicate bankers were settled in April 1891 with a payment of 70 cents on the dollar. (15) In November 1892 Welles sold $300,000 of assets in an auction and received another $10,500. (16)
On April 9, 1890 the United States grand jury indicted Graves and cashier Harris for making false entries to the comptroller of the currency to deceive him and the directors of the bank. The liabilities of the directors of the bank were much greater than had been reported.
R. E. Graves left the city before the closing of the bank. He was involved in banking in Colorado Springs and then moved to Tucson, Arizona where he was the head of the Arizona National Bank. Mr. Harris was employed by a bank in Pueblo, Colorado. (17)
The trial of United States v. President R. E. Graves and Cashier C. H. Harris began on December 7, 1892 in Dubuque. (18) The prosecution rested its case on December 12th. (19) At the end of the trial on December 17th, the jury was in deliberations for only a short time before finding Graves guilty. He was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. On furnishing $10,000 bail, he returned to Tucson. Harris plead guilty and the sentence was suspended.
In December 1892, a grand jury was asked to bring charges against A. A. Cooper, Jr. for a violation of the postal laws. The charge was that Cooper had violated the law prohibiting writing of any kind except the address on fourth class mail. During the summer of 1891, the Dubuque Herald and other local papers had urged R. E. Graves and C. H. be brought to trial for their involvement in the bank. Cooper, it was alleged, sent a large amount of fourth class mail to people living in Colorado and Arizona where both Graves and Harris were known. It was claimed by J. K. Graves, the brother of R. E. Graves, and others that the margins of the mail contained written remarks pointing particular attention to specific paragraphs. (20) On November 11, 1893 President Cleveland pardoned Harris. The Dubuque Herald stated that "it was so plain that while legally guilty he was not morally so..." (21)
Graves' attorney appealed the case to the United States Supreme Court alleging errors of law and on the ruling of the court during the progress of the trial. The defense had tried to introduce as evidence customs in use in other banks governing overdrafts which, in Graves' case had been considered loans and therefore regarded as assets. When Charles H. EIGHMEY took the stand to show this custom was in use in other banks, the court ruled that whatever the custom it would not apply and therefore Mr. Eighmey was prevented from testifying. Graves' attorney had also tried unsuccessfully to introduce the deposition of Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, who had been president of the First National Bank in Chicago. (22)
The Supreme Court reversed Graves' conviction in 1897 and ordered a new trial. There is no record that this was ever held.

I really really like this girl, had a crush on her but it developed into much more after i got to know her. When i met her she was broken up with her boyfriend. I actually asked her if she had a boyfriend and she said "not right now". I made it pretty obvious that i liked her. She would playfully flirt a lot. Just one example, "She asks me to put a bandaid on her finger for her during class."
I was hoping she liked me. She got back with her boyfriend and he kinda got in my face a couple times.
So for the next few we got close, we have so much in common. She is always acting cute and thats why i like being around her so much. Last week she asks me if she could eat with me and i got her a fork and i shared my lunch with her. Her boyfriend obviously didn't like this very much.
If the boyfriend was a nice guy, i might respect his wishes but he is a douche. So, yea they got into an argument over that.
Just this weekend she was fighting with him. I was texting her Friday night and she tells me she really wants to see this movie but she has no one to go with. So i naturally ask her if she wants to go with me. She seemed excited when i asked, she said you better not be getting my hopes up. I paid for our tickets and bought us some popcorn. We watched the movie and throughout movie she was being very playful, when ever something cute happened she would grab my arm and shake it and be like "omg its so cute". And when she started eating popcorn, she would throw some at me every other time she got popcorn. It was really cute and it went on the whole movie. I played along and i eventually raised the stakes and got a handfull and tossed it at her. She looked at me like "you did not just do that" but she was laughing and she continued to throw popcorn at me. I had a pretty good time. That day was the first time i hugged her.
She just broke up with her boyfriend today and i see her tomorrow for class. I want to make a move but i don't know if its too soon.
- Tell her i like herVote A
- wait (risk them getting back together)Vote B
Most Helpful Girl
ok, i want you to wait a bit... just because after a heartbreak and a break-up, girls often feel they like another guy but unknowingly use him as rebound for their hurt feelings. if you really want to confess, tell her "i know this probably isn't the best time, and you don't need to do anything about it unless you want to, but i like you" - just so she won't feel as pressured into answering and may convince herself she truly likes you (in case she doesn't yet). girls seem to be experts in fooling themselves into believing they like someone (trust me, i've done it, and my sister has multiple times)00|00|0

My best friend in high school, Jake Landrum, wasn't able to afford college. His dad owned a small pharmacy in a semi-seedy part of town and was barely getting by. Oh, he owned the building and property, with it's large parking lot, outright, but over the years business has dropped to where they were barely getting by.
Jake graduated high school and went to work as a construction helper, saving every penny he could. When he was old enough and had the money, he enrolled in bartender school. After graduating, he went to work for a prestigious club and was doing fairly well.
Then, without warning, Jake's dad had a massive heart attack and passed away. Jake inherited everything from his dad. Unknown to Jake, his dad had a very substantial life insurance policy with Jake as the sole beneficiary.
Of course, Jake closed the pharmacy and sold all the fixtures. Jake now had the opportunity and he funds to open his own bar. Not just any bar, but a 'special' bar, but it had to be discreet.
The building was gutted out to the bare walls and interior construction began. Jake did the interior design himself. In the back left corner by the loading door he put in a large stockroom. Then, about three quarters of the way back from the front wall he put in a second wall, creating a large 'back room'. The entrance to the back room was a hidden door in the hallway leading to the restrooms. If you didn't know where the door was you wouldn't see it. It looked like part of the wall.
Shortly before he opened, I stopped by to visit and he showed me around. As we headed down he hallway toward the restrooms he said, 'Here's my favorite part of the bar.'
'What? The restrooms?' I asked.
'No, this,' he replied as he touched a spot on a picture hanging in the hallway. Suddenly, a section of the wall opened slightly in. He led me in and I was amazed. The walls were black and there were two pool tables off to one side, barely lit. In the rest of the room were flat backless benches at seat height, the foam padding covered with faux leather.
'Fucking nice, but what's it for? Private parties?'
'Well sorta,' he said. 'Only special customers will know about this room and it's use.'
'Okay, Jake, enough of the mystery. Fill me in,' I said.
'As you know his is going to be a gay bar catering to the blue collar crowds, like bikers, construction workers, leather guys, truckers and the like. Only after they have been here several times and I get to know them and trust them will they be told about this room. In here, anything goes. Guys can get totally naked, suck, fuck, have orgies, or whatever they choose.'
'Holy shit, man, you serious? What about the law?'
'That's why the entrance is so hidden. If the come in, they wont be able to see anyone going in and out with it down the dim hall. And, if I it comes to it, I'll pay them off to look the other way.'
'Man, you're playing with fire,' I said.
'I know, but I'll take my chances,' he said. Then hugging me he said, 'Would you like to be the first to try out one of the benches?'
'You know I'm always ready for sex with you. Let's do it.'
With our pants around our ankles, we lay on one of the large benches and had a hot sixty-nine.
As we came out, he showed me exactly where the hidden button was. Once back out in the main room I looked around and seeing a hot young worker. Looking at Jake, I said, 'man, I'd love to get him on one of the benches.'
'So would I, but he's married,' Jake said.
'Ummm, that makes him even hotter.'
Jake placed ads in the local gay friendly newspaper announcing the opening of the bar and the clientele it would cater to.
I was there the night he opened and it was packed. Casual fondling and kissing was going on throughout the bar as was hand holding.
As I stood at the end of the bar with Jake, two uniformed police officers entered the bar.
'Damn, they didn't even let you get open good,' I said.
They stopped at the bar and talked to the bartender who them pointed towards Jake. After looking our way they headed toward us.
As they stepped up to us, one asked, 'Who's Jake Landrum?'
'I am. How can I help you gentlemen?
They introduced themselves then one said, 'We just wanted to stop in and check things out. This is our patrol area at night and we'll be keeping an eye on things.'
'I appreciate that officers. I assure you that if anyone even thinks of getting out of hand they will be kicked out permanently.'
'That's good to hear. Just watch your occupancy levels.'
'Will do officers,'Jake said.
As Jake talked with the officers, I was checking them out. Their names were Brad Walker and Josh Taylor. Both appeared to be in their late twenties and were built, good looking, and were both showing nice bulges in their pants. I wondered if he action of the crowd was getting them turned on.
They looked around, seeing guys kiss and caress, and made their way toward the door.
When they were gone, Jake led me to his office where we could talk. Once inside, he sat at his desk and said, 'There is just something about them that makes me think that they would like to be customers here.'
'I got the same vibes from them also. Did you notice the bulges in their pants?'
'No. I didn't want to be to obvious while talking to them but they were damn hot.'
'That they were, but I got a good look at them. I swear both of them had partial boners,or it sure looked like it.'
'Well, we'll just have to see what happens,' he said. 'In the meantime, lets see what's going on in the back room.'
He pressed a few buttons on his computer and on a large TV screen there suddenly appeared the action in the back room.
'These are friends like you that I already trust and have given permission to be there.'
There were six guys there all in one group some sucking, some fucking and some getting fucked. All were totally naked.
'I hate to be rude, but I think I need to visit the room.'
'Be my guest and have fun,' he said.
I left his office and headed for the room. Upon entering, no one hesitated in what they were doing. They knew that whoever was entering would soon be joining in. I stripped and joined the group and soon had a cock in both my ass and my mouth.
After almost two hours, I dressed and returned to the main bar, finding Jake behind the bar making change.
'How was it?'
'Awesome. And what makes it hot is the fact that I have no idea who any of them are.'
'And after the bar closes it stays open although no alcohol can be sold.'
'Nice,' I said.
I went to the bar a couple nights during the week and always on Friday and Saturday nights when it was more active.
Business was good and Jake was making a nice profit after all expenses.
The number of guys that had access to the back room slowly grew and after about six months on Friday and Saturday nights you would find fifteen to twenty guys back there most nude but some wearing leather.
Then, one Saturday night I headed for the room and after stripping I soon had a nice hard young cock in my mouth. I got him off and moved on. With another cock in my mouth and one in my ass, I heard the buzzer admit another patron.
With a second load in my stomach and one in my ass, I began to move on. Loving hairy guys, my eyes saw the back of an exceptionally hairy guy. I headed for him. He was hungrily sucking the cock of a guy standing on one of the benches.
I walked toward him and as he sucked the guy I squatted down and after spreading his ass cheeks I began to eat his hairy ass. I was in heaven when I heard the guy on the bench say he was cumming. As the hairy guy took his load and swallowed, I stood up. The hairy guy turned to face me and we both froze where we stood.
I was looking straight into the face of my boss.
'Oh fuck! Luke?' he asked.
'Mr. Collins?' I said softly.
'This is unreal. Let's go off into a corner where we can talk.'
I followed him away from the crowd. We both said we had no idea the other was into men. His wife was out of town on business and he started coming here when she was gone. We assured each other that nothing would be said at work.
After or talk he leaned in to kiss me. I eagerly returned the kiss and soon we were in a sixty-nine, soon bringing each other to a climax. After another kiss, he said, 'I hope to see you again later tonight.'
'Sure, I'd like that very much. Hairy guys turn me on.'
Laughing, he said, 'Well, hairy I am. My wife hates it.'
We returned to the crowd and to sucking other guys. I soon saw Mr. Collins with one in his ass and another in his mouth.
I later saw him unoccupied and said that I'd be out in the bar for a while. He said he'd find me shortly and maybe we could go to his place to continue our fun. I said I'd like that.
I dressed and returned to the bar telling Jake what had happened.
'Holy fucking shit! Your boss?'
Jake asked me to describe him and I did.
'He was recommended by another good friend of mine. They were in a couple of weeks ago and my friend assured me he was cool.'
'He is. We had a sixty-nine and just before I left he had one in his ass and another in his mouth.'
'Damn,' was his reply.
A few minutes later Mr. Collins came out asking if I'd like to follow him home. I said definitely.
'By the way Luke, away from the job call me John.'
'Will do.'
We went to his house and had a wild night of sucking and fucking. It was really hot having my good looking built boss on his back legs raised and my cock up his ass and him telling me how great it felt.
Before I left the next morning he kissed me passionately and said, 'Luke, I might need you to work late some evenings. Is that a problem?'
Smiling, I said, 'No problem at all. Anytime.'
On the following pay check, I found a nice raise in pay. A note inside simply said 'For a job well done'.
John and I had sex a couple of times a week in his office after hours. It was awesome.
A few weeks after I first saw John at the bar, I was there at closing when Jake asked if I was going to stay and go to the room.
'Luke, it will be my first time back there with the customers. I'd like you to be there also. Your my closest friend.'
'Sure, let's go.'
As we headed for the room, we suddenly heard pounding on the front door.
'Who the fuck can that be?' Jake said.
Going to the door and asking who was there, he heard, 'Officers Walker and Taylor. Open up.'
Jake unlocked the door and let them in. After entering, they looked around.
'Mr. Landrum, who doll the cars in the parking lot belong to if no one is in here?'
'I really don't know officer. They may have left with someone else and left their cars here.'
'Get real, Mr. Landrum. Not that many. We've heard that you have after hours activity here. Where is it?'
'Sir, I don't know what your taking about,' Jake insisted.
'Okay, no more games. If we have to we'll shut this place down and do a complete search. Now show us where the after hours party is or suffer he consequences.'
Reluctantly, not knowing what might happen, Jake led them to the back room. The door slid in slightly and the officers said, 'Excellent hiding.'
Stepping into the room, the officers looked around. When the guys began to see the officers, everyone scrambled for their clothes.
'Everyone freeze!' Officer Taylor yelled. 'I have just one question for all of you. I want to know if all of you are here voluntarily.'
Everyone said that they were. Turning to Jake, Officer Taylor said, 'Let's go to your office.'
'I'd like Luke with me,' Jake said. He's a minor partner in the bar.'
'I can't see where that would hurt,' they said.
Inside the office, Officer Taylor said, 'Gentlemen, since we're going to be working together, why don't we get on a first name basis. I'm Josh and he's Brad and you two are Jake and Luke.'
'What did you mean by working together, Josh?'
'Here's the deal,' he answered smiling. 'We found out that our shift is changing in two weeks. We'll be working noon to nine. For a hundred a week each, we'll keep you informed of any planned activity concerning the bar. As of now, only Brad and I know of the after hours events and what we saw back there.'
'May I interrupt and ask how you found out?' Jake asked.
'We're good friends with one of the customers that goes back there,' josh said. Jake and I looked at each other then at them.
'We know what your thinking and the answer is yes. We're gay lovers and if it gets out, we'll know where it came from.'
'Guys, it won't come from us I assure you,' Jake said. 'But we will admit we had our suspicions the first night you two came in.'
'Oh, really? What made you suspicious?'
I spoke up and said, 'You both had semi-boners when you left.'
Laughing, Brad said, 'Semi my ass. I was fully boned.'
Josh spoke up saying, 'Is there any way to get in the back without coming through the front door?The reason we ask is because we'd like to join the activities back there but can't chance anyone seeing us enter the bar when off duty.'
'Yea, there are two emergency exits back there. I'll have an extra key made for you to use. You'll be able to enter from the alley.'
'Great,' Josh said, then added 'Hell, if you're willing to do that, forget the two hundred a week. We'll still keep you informed.'
'Sounds good,' Jake said.
'Well, since we still have about forty minutes left on our dinner break, would you two care to have some fun?' Josh asked, catching us off guard.
'By all means,' we both said.
We began kissing and groping each other and soon all four of us were naked. Brad and Josh were on their knees sucking us and rimming our asses. After they got us off, we kissed and made out for a while before they both bent over Jake's desk and asked us to fuck them. We gladly obliged.
Afterward, they left and Jake and I sat and looked at each other, both still naked.
'Man, when they came in and started asking questions, I just knew I we were all going to jail. I damn sure didn't expect it to turn out this way.'
'Neither did I,' I said.
Jake got Brad and Josh their key to the back door and they became regulars in the back room, and frequently invited Jake and I to their lace for dinner and sex.
Jake and I got closer and closer and one Friday night he took me o his office. after shutting the door he grabbed me and kissed me passionately.
After the kiss ended, I asked, 'Fuck that was awesome but what was it all about?'
'Luke, I've fallen deeply in love with you and was wondering if you would do me the honor of being my lover for life?'
'Oh fuck Jake yes! I love you too more than you will ever know.'
'Well,I have another surprise for you. Please give me a dollar.'
'A dollar? Why?'
'Just do it.'
I handed him a dollar and he put it in his pocket. Pulling some papers from his desk he said, 'Now sign on the bottom line.'
'What am I signing?'
'Don't you trust me? Just sign them please.'
I did and after I had he grabbed them and quickly put them in the safe and locked it.
'Now, you are not only my lover but you own fifty percent of the 'Blue Collar Lounge'.
'Jake, no. This is your bar.'
'No it's not. It's our bar.'
He kissed me again and led me out to the front. After getting everyone's attention and getting it quiet he said, 'Guys, most of you know or have seen Luke here. It's ten minutes to last call and in honor of him accepting me as his lover and as an equal partner in the bar, drinks are on the house.'
Everyone cheered and came up to us kissing us and congratulating us. Buck, the head bartender also congratulated us saying, 'Jake, it's about time. I've seen the way your face lights up whenever he comes in. And now we all have two bosses.'
After everyone was gone and the bar locked up, Buck joined Jake and I in the back room. Once we were naked, Jake asked Buck to get every one's attention.
In his booming deep voice he did just that, then Jake took over.
'Guys, you were all here enjoying yourselves when an announcement was made out in the front bar. Luke here is now half owner of the bar, and has also accepted me as his lover. You all get the honor of watching us consummate our union.'
A bench was cleared and Jake and I began a sixty-nine for a while with everyone else standing around us watching. after a few minutes we ended he sucking and Jake lay on his back and I fucked his hot ass. After filling him with my load, he then fucked me. After he climaxed in me, everyone cheered. Brad and Josh were there and came up and offered their congratulations.
Afterward, I told Jake that there was something I wanted to do. Smiling he said, 'Buck's over there sucking cock.' He had known for a while that I wanted to suck Buck's cock.
I walked over and after Buck finished, I told him, 'Now I want your cock.'
Smiling, he said, 'It's all yours, boss.'
Jake and I have been together for thirty years now. We still own the 'Blue Collar Lounge', however our adopted twin sons now run it for us. They are gay also and each have lovers. We're so proud of them. And they love us dearly. Life has been so good to us.

President Svetozar Marovic of Serbia and Montenegro apologized to Bosnia on Thursday for the 1992-95 war in which some 200,000 people died, most of them Muslims.
The gesture by Mr. Marovic comes eight years after the signing of the Dayton peace agreement and three years after Bosnia and Serbia, which had been part of Yugoslavia, established diplomatic relations and normalized ties. That step came only after Slobodan Milosevic, the Serbian nationalist leader, was removed from power in 2000.
Mr. Milosevic is on trial at the United Nations tribunal in The Hague. He accused of committing war crimes in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. His successor, Vojislav Kostunica, visited Sarajevo three times but refused to apologize.
Mr. Marovic, who was on his first official visit to Sarajevo, where more than 10,000 people died during a siege by Serbian forces that lasted for three and a half years, said it was time for forgiveness.
