5.0 stars 13 totalReview David Cook
Posted by Jerry
David always has my best interests as the central focus. A rare and exceptional characteristic of David's approach is the fact that he makes sure he thoroughly understands the details of your situation and is always fully prepared to tackle a case. I trust and respect David!
Posted by James
David is a trusted advisor who helped us resolve the most difficult moment in our corporate history. Because of his hard work, working knowledge of law, understanding of business and negotiation skills we were able to save our company and avoid court. I would not hesitate to call on him again, especially when achieving the best possible outcome is critical.
Posted by Julie
David Cook is not only knowledgeable about the law, he is also caring and is able to communicate clearly to his clients the situation from a legal stand point. We have used David for our legal advise form more than a decade and would not consider going to anyone else.
Posted by Marshal
David cared to always put my needs first and has the skill set to help me achieve those needs.
Posted by Lisa
I felt very comfortable and assured that David had my best interest in mind. He was very knowledgable and confident. He was also very clear about what to expect and I never felt like I was out there on my own.
Posted by Kevin
I've known David for a number of years on a personal basis and I've been extremely impressed with his level of integrity and commitment to the community. Therefore, last year when I was approached by a large NYSE company with an interest in purchasing my company, it was a no-brainer for whom I wanted to represent me. David and his associates dug in and got the deal done quickly, efficiently and with the least amount of heartburn. David proved to be all that I thought he would…he's an exceptional attorney, that I wouldn't hesitate recommending to my family and friends.

If you are going through a divorce or having child custody issues, David is the lawyer for you. He will do everything in his power to get you what you want in a professional and ethical fashion. David is an awesome mediator and is capable of getting people to see reason and agree to certain things rather than have to go before a judge. So if you are wanting to get things done amicably, he is the guy for you. However, if it does come down to a fight, I would definitely want him in my corner.
Posted by Jerry
David first represented me in a complex divorce proceeding 7 years ago. I was very impressed with how engaged he became in the details of my case and he was very thorough in explaining options and setting expectations. It was evident that he and his staff sincerely cared about their clients. David was never rattled and remained very level headed and focused in negotiations and in the court room. Over the years I have needed David to assist me with visitation and custody matters and every goal was achieved. It was evident that he was also well respected among peers, councilors and judges.
David has also represented me in business matters, and estate planning efforts. His approach was consistent and he always demonstrated thorough knowledge on each topic. We achieved the desired outcome in every situation.
David is a rare and exceptional attorney!
Posted by Chris
David is a knowledgeable attorney who provides very good counsel in conjunction with timely client communication. I always knew where we were headed and how we were going to get there. And get there we did!
Posted by Julie
Dealing with legal matters is stressful, especially in family matters where emotions are so involved. Having David Cook as my attorney made the experience the best that it could be. I felt like he really listened to my concerns and cared about what I was going through. He is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and loyal to his clients. He also has a wonderful support staff that made me feel like I didn't just have a lawyer, I had a team of friends that were there to help me.

Preparing to offer Quickbooks 2012 Premier to tenants of a RemoteApp hosting service. QB is virtualized via ThinApp. By the time it's possible to deploy as a virtualized app, my license key is entered, and an "Edition" has been selected.
Tenants will have their own license codes and their own choice for a QB Edition. Is it possible to get QB to go through the OOBE process for each new user?
I have found this--
--but while it may allow me to change one valid license key to another, it does not tell me how to reset it to NO license code. I've tried entering 0000-0000-0000-000/000-000 and deleting the numbers entirely. And with both, delete the %Common AppData%\Intuit\Entitlement Client\v6.0\EntitlementDataStore.ecml file. QB crashes on launch.
I can change the license code to 0000-0000-0000-000 in the QB GUI. Better than nothing. But if I do that, and the user doesn't change it before trying to register, the user will have to call Intuit to register. I'd like to duplicate the normal UX.
I've also tried deleting QBW.INI; didn't help.

That sounds like an Intuit problem. They don't have an equivalent to Sysprep?
Jan 3, 2012 at 10:40 UTC
It's absolutely an Intuit problem, John!
<editorial>Intuit does not "get" enterprise--much less SAAS. Even QB (so-called) "Enterprise" version has a limit of 45 users, because it uses a sluggish, fragile, prehistoric, file-based database. Not SQL. QB & Quicken have gradually acquired new features over the years, but are architected the same as their 1st Windows versions, 15-ish years ago.
Case in point: Until Quicken 2011, storing a Quicken data file on a remote file share was SPECIFICALLY unsupported! Documented in the Help file and KB for more than a decade. Now...that didn't stop me from doing so, but I couldn't use a UNC path; had to map a drive.
And yet, I keep using Quicken and Quickbooks! What's wrong with me? But I digress...</editorial>
There's no utility to re-seal QB that I can find. If it can be made to work at all--and I'm hoping it can--it will be a hack. Just one I haven't puzzled out.
Jan 4, 2012 at 5:54 UTC
HD IT Solutions is an IT service provider.
Could you use something like Wininstall LE (if it's still around) or similar to take a snapshot of the system before you've entered the codes/version and then again after so you can see what's changed then apply those changes to the virtualised app?
Jan 4, 2012 at 11:07 UTC
Actually, I can use ThinApp to do that. Just launch TA before making each change, turn it into a package immediately after making the change, and examine the resulting package. I guess if no one posts back with a recipe, that's probably what I'll do, and post it here for others.
Jan 4, 2012 at 7:10 UTC
It's absolutely an Intuit problem, John!
Which you even stated as the problem domain. Whoops.
And yet, I keep using Quicken and Quickbooks! What's wrong with me? But I digress...
Most service providers need to support what users use. And users use Intuit. :-P
Jan 5, 2012 at 2:17 UTC
Actually, it's a Jeff problem. (That would be me...)
The best way to reset OOBE is not to launch it in the first place. I can't do anything about the license key entry because QB won't install without it. But if I don't run QB at all during packaging, it will be delivered with OOBE ready to go because it will be packaged before the first launch.
I was still thinking in App-V terms, where you want to run the program first so a feature block will be created for faster launch. That appears not to be available with ThinApp, so there's no need to run the app. Therefore, no need to reset OOBE.
Jan 5, 2012 at 2:47 UTC
So all tested? Would be a good how-to candidate.
Jan 5, 2012 at 5:13 UTC
Definitely not tested. Just one hurdle crossed. In fact, I'm realizing that I may yet need to recross that hurdle.
When a user selects (or changes) the QB Edition, Windows Installer fires up and actually removes part of the program and replaces it. I'm GUESSING it's not executables, but XML files, HTML files or similar resources that customize QB for the selected edition. I don't really know. But whatever it is, they are files that belong to the program. They are not user data. And they will be virtualized and end up in the user's Thinstall folder.
And it appears as though a separate Thinstall folder is created for every machine they log on to. My Thinstall folder is up to 197MB with just a few QB launches!
I have not looked at how ThinApp handles updates, but whatever lands in the user's cache will presumably NOT get updated, so I'm concerned that I may end up with version mismatches as Intuit releases updates.
And I do need to think about how the licensing thing is going to work. QB has a 30-day trial; I don't want users using my license for 30 days, or trying to register it with my license code, or some other non-EULA-compliant situation. But the only way to address it is for me to log on under their account (or shadow their session) and license QB for them before allowing them to use it, and I don't like that idea, either.
And another hurdle is how to disable QB updater for the program, while still allowing them to update tax tables. Hopefully they're either 2 different executables, or use 2 different remote servers.
I get the feeling I've just started peeling this onion! Hope there's a payoff. It does seem like very few have done it and lived to tell the tale.
But, yes, someday, if it works, I will probably document it for posterity.

Incensed by reports of negotiations in Italy with the San Siro-based club, the teenager's father stated his fear that such stories would turn Sao Paulo fans against him
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Wednesday morning that Figer was in Italy and had started negotiations with the Italian club, despite not being Lucas' official agent. The representative does have links with Sao Paulo, which fed rumours that he was in Milan with the blessing of Tricolor president Juvenal Juvencio.
Speaking to Globoesporte, Jorge was furious at not being informed of Figer's actions, and warned that such reports could hurt Lucas' standing with the Sao Paulo fans.
"The team is not playing well at the moment. If a story like this comes out in the press, tomorrow the fans will start attacking him, calling him a mercenary," he affirmed.
"It is very strange for this news to come out now, it is like there is someone behind all of this wanting to plant information."
Lucas, who is 19-years-old and boasts eight caps with the senior Brazil side, has previously stated that he has no intention of leaving Sao Paulo in the near-future.

Notebooks and paper will come in handy when Henryville elementary, junior high, and high school students finally go back to class in early April.
Tornado victims have until May 31 to file their tax returns.
Meteorologists say the setup is similar to the system that fueled at least 20 tornadoes Wednesday in the Midwest.
In 2011 more than three times the average yearly total of tornadoes hit Indiana.
It can take months for FEMA to approval assistance for individual disaster areas.
The most powerful was an EF-3 that touched down near Bedford.
Hoy said he'd like to see legislation go a step further, and require radios to be hardwired into new trailers and traditional homes alike.
The weather patterns blamed for tornadoes across the Midwest and South are finally improving.

Not such luck. The only thing that I can come up with is: the TLDs are referring an DTD that has been moved by Sun. Here's what you get when you go to http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd "The file named http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd has been renamed to http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd in the most current version of the specification.

Maybe updating the DOCTYPE in the TLDs should help? > Previous version of Xerces or crimson didn't got that problem. > > if we could see which xml/dtd/tld is reported buggy, which > will able to see if it's a bug or a features (ie a more strict > check of xml rules) > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>

Melisa has a whole bunch of aliases like Carrie Du Four,Kristina Walker and Margo foster. Still,it is always that sultry brunette with a cute smile and piercing blue eyes. She is a rather petite babe,only 5'2 tall and weighing no more than 116 lbs. Her measurements are 34-24-36 and she sports the firmest and the perkiest pair of natural B-cup boobs you have ever seen. She was born in Prague in 1985 and we hope that she stays with us for a long time to come.

The question asks it all but I am too ashamed to go outside or to the gym due to how I look. I lost around 170lbs. I don't know what to do about anything.
I feel like I have no muscles and that would be a turn off to girls. Does it appear that I do or not
Most Helpful Guy
your not muscular, but if you want to have muscles, to get yourself down to the gym. I did bodybuilding, because I wanted to be big, I because I was sick and tired of being bullied through out my school life. but bodybuilding strength or big muscles is not practically in the real world. I find that martial arts has benefited me more than big muscles. but choose a martial art that is effective, and good instructor. the things I think are effective or aikido,MMA jeet kune do, wing chun. I do all these. martial arts will also improve yourself confidence tremendously. it certainly did with me. I was scared of everyone. but now I am not scared. some times I go to Thailand to fight, just for the experience of fighting, not to win.
no one is born big, maybe some. but you can be bigger, but it will take hard work,dedication, many years of your patience. Don't do steroids, unless you want to have heart, liver problems. you will probably struggle to have kids later. it reduces your sperm count drastically.
as you feed your body the correct fuel and give it the right of food, you will grow,
i suggest you do martial arts to improve your confidence, not building big muscles.00|00|0
I'd like to have muscles. I don't need confidence cause I'd be lying to myself
- Show AllShow Less
rubbish, there are lots of better people out their. you need to find better friends. those current friends have done serious damage to yourself confidence. you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself. I was bullied like for a long time. I keep my head up, and found better friends, the way you are feeling will do you no good in the long run. why are you letting those idiots get you down? its part of life? ignore them,and move on. life doesn't just consist of one bunch of friends.
i like you. you seem like a decent guy. stop letting idiots like that bring you down. there are plenty of people that will like you. you just lacking some serious confidence. seriously take my advice and get down and do some martial arts. that will help the way your feeling. people at your age can be seriously mean. please do yourself a favor and stay away from those friends. trust me. its going to be hard. but in couple of years time. things will look brighter for you.

•I was dancing in the Club and this pretty girl kinda scream cause someone body stood on her toe,And I went up to her held her by the hip and asked was she okay and then she grabbed my hips pulled me forward and kissed me and then she grabbed my hand and brought me to one of the seats in the Club.
•• We were french kissing for about 30minutes and then she was smiling every few minutes we kissed and then I put my arm around her and she did the same to me and she said I'll be back in a minute,I waited exactly 1minute and incase she didn't show back up I went back over to my friends and danced.
••• I feel bad that I frenched kissed someone :( I didn't know and I'm a 21 single male.Advice would be great thank you so much for your time!
Most Helpful Girl
As long as you didn't force her to kiss you in any way, there's no reason why you should feel bad. It was in a club for one, and hooking up is a large part of the club atmosphere. There was also alcohol involved, I'd imagine.
Lastly, she pulled you to her and initiated the kiss, so all's well as long as you enjoyed it! :)10|10|1

Cheers! Mine's an ARF
In my day we were still allowed to call ourselves students; we were student teachers. Now everything has its abbreviation and proper term. For students on teaching practice read BTs (beginning teachers) from an Institute of Education somewhere on Professional Experience. And I'm their SPT (school professional tutor).
SPT. It makes you want to SPIT.
They have arrived for a week of induction. Young, professional, smart in the new black, they're early, waiting for me in reception. I feel threatened. They're younger, better, cleverer than I am. They're keen, dead keen. They have a workplace mindset, I can tell. For a moment it is I who feel like the scruffy one, the student again. It takes me back to my teaching practice, 30-something years ago . . .
"Sir, are you a revolting student, Sir?" His name comes back to me like it was yesterday. Kiertzner. I've no idea of his first name, and hadn't then. It was an all-surname, all-boys grammar school. He was in the second year (Year 8 now). The papers were full of student revolt.
"Kiertzner, are you a revolting pupil?" I remember quipping back. The class loved it. I was a big kid come among them, and they shrieked with laughter. Just before the bell we got down to some work, I think.
That was teaching practice in the Sixties. You went there, made your mistakes, then walked away from them. Nobody ever "observed" me. Or, if they did, I didn't notice. A tutor did come over from my university education department (we didn't have posh institutes), saw part of a lesson and chatted to me afterwards. "You're polite to them," he said, "and they're polite to you." (It wasn't Kiertzner's class.) Teaching by experience! Touchy-feely, that was what mattered then. I remember my first teaching placement had been at a big city comprehensive. I had read in The TES about how an English teacher had made pupils jab each other with pins so that they could write about pain. There was no Aids and no ofsted in those days. I thought of buying a pack of pins myself but chickened out when I saw the size of the pupils. Inflicting pain, I sensed, would be too enjoyable for them and too threatening for me.
I step forward and introduce myself to these bright, young Nineties things who have already said goodbye to their youth. At least Kiertzner kept me young. They are deadly serious. I will have to make at least five formal observations. The first thing they do is hand me their ARFs (assessment record folders). And then they apologise.
The moment they apologise something happens. They become human. "We realise," one of them says, "that we're involving you in a lot of work, and we're grateful that you've taken us on. It's a lot of work for you, completing the ARF."
"Your arf?" I see their eyes twinkle. There's something about them that isn't totally serious.
Later I catch them laughing in the stock room. "We're just having a giggling session. About our ARFs." It's a massive file. Arf is a misnomer; it's a one-and-an-ARF.
I share with them a "Fancy a swift arf?" joke and off they go again, squealing with laughter, as if they haven't heard them before. And my heart warms to them, these bright, bubbly people. As a colleague said: "Doesn't it make you feel good about our profession when such good people are coming into it?" At the end of their placement, and over an arf in the Spotted Cow, I shall be in a mood to be anecdotal. I shall tell them about Kiertzner, and we shall drink to him. I'll tell them about that grammar school, and we'll drink to it.
"Get a haircut!" the headmaster had told me on the first day of induction. I was rather Sixties and hirsute. They'll like that.
Did I observe any lessons, they'll ask. One or two, but I remember that I wasn't allowed to see the head of department's class. We shall drink to him. Here's to every teacher that claims they can walk on water, but only when no one is looking. There's a lot of them about.
Here's to making your mistakes and walking way from them.
Those were the days. When the only induction you got in a school was directions to the barber's. When you couldn't see the head of department teach in case it upset him. When nobody observed you or gave you advice. When so many university education departments were, quite frankly, crap. When you made mistakes and walked away from them, none the wiser.
Only I didn't. I had to face Kiertzner and co again in September for real. The head of English retired when I was on my teaching practice and a job came up, the junior in the department. I got it on condition that I shaved off my beard. (I'd had a haircut, so I grew a beard to compensate.) Which I did, but I had grown it again by September when I started.
Remember me, the revolting student? I'm your revolting teacher now.
Maybe there's something in these ARFs after all. I feel, in retrospect, angry about the deal that was handed out to me. In the Spotted Cow, with five observations behind us, and our paperwork done, our arfs will transform into pints. Maybe sooner if we get arf a chance.

I've never heard of lawyers taking out mortgages on clients in order to get paid, but then I just recently got accustomed to not wearing a suit on Fridays:
"We thought, 'Why don't we use a bit of ingenuity to find an affordable way to represent them?' " said Peter Ticktin of the Ticktin Law Group in Deerfield Beach, Fla. "It's a new model, a new paradigm."Of course lawyers should get paid for their work, and these are cash-strapped clients who badly need legal assistance.
Foreclosure defense is a new legal specialty whose strategies and techniques are still being worked out. Mr. Ticktin, who has some 3,000 foreclosure clients, says his plan to collect fees by taking another mortgage on his clients' properties has already been copied by other firms.
The Ticktin mortgages resemble the loans that the clients originally got from Countrywide, GMAC and other lenders. Each will be a contractual obligation with the law firm, labeled as a mortgage and structured like one, too, with the client paying a certain sum every month and using the house as collateral.
Unconventional payment structures are becoming popular in the foreclosure hotbed of Florida. Whether they yet have caught on elsewhere is unclear. Certainly, Mr. Ticktin is far from the only lawyer being forced to innovate.
"We can put in $100,000 of our time but over the length of a case be paid only $6,000 in monthly fees," said Thomas E. Ice of Ice Legal in Royal Palm Beach.
Mr. Ice, Mr. Ticktin and many other Florida foreclosure lawyers typically receive a few hundred dollars a month from each client. To supplement that, they seek legal fees from the banks they successfully challenge as well as contingency fees.
Contingency fees are standard in cases in which the client has little money but there is the possibility of a large payout. A slip and fall on a store's wet floor or a medical malpractice claim are classic contingency cases. If the plaintiff wins, insurance companies ultimately foot the bill.
In foreclosure cases, however, the client pays the contingency fee. While such an approach is sometimes used in commercial litigation, this is a first for consumer cases, said Lester Brickman, a professor at Cardozo Law School in New York.
"For a lawyer to supplement or replace the banks as a long-term mortgage creditor of homeowners leaves me a little queasy," said Mr. Brickman, an expert on contingency fees. "It's an invitation for the public to say, 'There go the lawyers again.' "
But I wonder if there are conflicts created by such arrangement. Does anyone know if the Bar has approved of this?

text: The battles over Durham-Orange Light Rail project continue And the naysayers are getting creative: To kill the project, opponents know they can't appear to be anti-transit. Instead, they must convince you there are better, cheaper options. In their latest campaign, opponents revive their old claim that bus rapid transit (BRT), which uses buses on dedicated roadways instead of trains on light rail tracks, is inherently better and dramatically cheaper. But, they say, stubborn train lovers at GoTriangle refuse to examine a bus alternative. Dedicated roadways for buses makes about as much sense as personal "pods" that individuals can hop into like their own little taxicabs. The traffic issues in driving a car from downtown Durham to downtown Chapel Hill and back have become horrendous, and further development *is* going to happen, whether people want it to or not. Between the two hospitals (Duke, UNC) alone, there are some 17,000 employees. That's not counting other University staff from the schools themselves. Light rail may not solve all the transportation/parking problems, but it is a critical element of the solution.

Hello All,
I am wanting to create a CD which has a live version of linux on it so i can boot it up.
The thing is i would like software preinstalled so when i launch the disk i can launch the applications.
Is this possible?

Pittsburgh Computer Solutions is an IT service provider.
This may prove useful.
Apr 19, 2011 at 8:27 UTC
Instead of using a CD, use a USB drive with Multiboot USB Creator (link below).
This creates a partition on the USB drive to save the settings and software configuration of the live distro you are using.
Another good thing is that you can have more than one item on this drive. I have Ubuntu live on mine plus a bunch of recovery tools as well.
The software lets you choose what you want on the drive and download the appropriate ISO files for you. Doesn't get easier than that.
Apr 19, 2011 at 8:28 UTC
Just to clarify with the multiboot USB, you don't require a CD at all. Everything is on that USB drive that you need...
Apr 19, 2011 at 8:43 UTC
Why roll your own? Their are plenty of live distros out there like RIP, Knoppix, etc.

For customizing a live boot Linux the USB option is the best, although I could cee the appeal of a CD too for machines that don't support USB boot.
May 4, 2011 at 3:37 UTC
Damn Small Linux is another option:
Main distribution is never larger than 50M, so you can put it on small business card sized CD's if that is your thing, can also do the USB drive installation and provide some persistence. Comes out of the box with a number of applications installed, and can easily be customized to suit most purposes. You can even convert the base install - based upon Knoppix - into a Debian variant complete with Apt and Synaptics if you are so inclined.
Planning on using this to convert some tired machines in our shop into thin (well, not so thin) clients and/or kiosk machines.

|Forest Fear
Episode Info Edit
Forest Fear is the first episode of the first season of The One and Only Scooby-Doo!.
Dryad haunts Friend Forest.
Two lumberjacks are cutting down trees. They finish cutting down two trees and start cutting down new ones. One of them comes across a tree that can't be chopped. The other lumberjack comes over to help. Both lumberjacks try, but the tree won't budge. Suddenly, it opens two eyes and roars at the lumberjacks. The men realize it is the Dryad that has been haunting the forest. They run for their lives. One lumberjack trips, and as the Dryad's shadow covers him, he screams. The other lumberjack is running away, but the Dryad corners him.
The gang is camping at Friend Forest. They meet Alice Act; she wants the lumberjacks to stop chopping down so many trees. She walks away. The gang eats sandwiches Shaggy brought with. The gang then goes in their tents. Scooby and Shaggy go off to take a walk. The rest of the gang goes fishing. While fishing, Fred, Daphne, and Velma see Alice. She says that a monster lives in the forest. She walks away.
While taking a walk in the forest, Scooby and Shaggy come across a tent. They go inside and eat the sandwiches. A lumberjack walks in the tent. He is Jack. He explains that two lumberjacks have disappeared because of the Dryad. Scooby and Shaggy run away and get lost in the forest. The Dryad appears and chases them away. Scooby and Shaggy find Fred, Daphne, and Velma. They explain what happened. The gang splits up. Scooby and Shaggy are standing next to the river. Somebody pushes them into a boat, and they start sailing across the river. They crash into a sign, and go flying onto the grass. There are trees everywhere, making it look like night-time. Scooby and Shaggy see a sign. It says: Danger: Dryad Zone.
Meanwhile, Fred, Daphne, and Velma are looking for clues. They find a book on the floor. Inside are pictures of lumberjacks, and three of them are crossed out; the two in the opening, and Jack. Only one lumberjack is left. Velma, Fred, and Daphne look for more clues.
Meanwhile, Scooby and Shaggy are exploring the Dryad Zone. They see the remaining lumberjack running away. Suddenly, the Dryad appears and starts chasing the lumberjack, Scooby, and Shaggy. The chase scene starts.
In the chase scene, Scooby and Shaggy are running from the Dryad. They pretend to be trees, and the Dryad walks past them. Then the Dryad runs back and roars at them. Scooby and Shaggy run away. The lumberjack is running from the Dryad. The Dryad picks him up and runs away, ending the chase scene.
Scooby and Shaggy run up to Fred, Daphne, and Velma and explain what happened. Fred says it's time to set a trap. Scooby and Shaggy gulp. Scooby and Shaggy are pretending to be lumberjacks cutting down trees. The Dryad comes and chases them. Scooby and Shaggy run past Fred's trap. They chase the Dryad into the lake, trapping it.
Soon, the Dryad is out of the water. Velma unmasks the Dryad to reveal Alice. Alice wanted to scare away the lumberjacks. Velma explains that they solved the mystery when they found pictures of crossed out lumberjacks.
That night, Scooby and the gang are roasting marshmallows.
"Rooby-Rooby-Roo!" cheers Scooby.

In the history of the Confederacy, the term Reconstruction Era has two uses; the first covers the entire nation in the period 1865–1877 following the American Civil War; the second one, used in this article, covers the transformation of the northern Confederate States from 1863 to 1877, with the reconstruction of state and society in the former US. Three amendments to the Constitution affected the entire nation. In the different states, Reconstruction began and ended at different times; federal Reconstruction policies were finally abandoned in 1877.
Reconstruction policies were debated in the South when the war began, and commenced in earnest after the Enslavement Proclamation, issued on January 1, 1864. Reconstruction policies were implemented when a US state came under the control of the Confederate Army. President Jefferson Davis set up reconstructed governments in several northern states during the war, including Kentucky, Maryland, and West Virginia. President Alexander Stephens continued Davis' lenient plans despite the widespread bitterness over Davis' assassination. Stephens appointed new governors in the summer of 1865, and quickly declared that the war goals of national unity and the ending of slavery had been achieved, so that reconstruction was completed. Democrats in the Confederate Congress refused to accept Stephen's lenient terms, rejected the new members of Congress selected by the North, and in 1865-66 broke with the president. A sweeping Democratic victory in the 1866 Congressional Elections in the South gave the "Daring Democrats" enough control of Congress that they over-rode Stephen's vetoes and began what is called "Radical reconstruction" in 1867.
Congress removed the civilian governments in the North in 1867, and put the former USA under the rule of the Confederate Army. The army then conducted new elections in which the African-Americans could not vote, while those who held leading positions under the United States were denied the vote and could not run for office.
In ten states, coalitions of slavedmen (former free northern blacks now enslaved) recent arrivals from the South (rugbaggers), and white Northerners who supported Reconstruction (Scalawags) cooperated to form Democratic state governments, which introduced various reconstruction programs, offered massive aid to railroads, built public schools, and raised taxes. Conservative opponents charged that Democratic regimes were marred by widespread corruption. Violent opposition towards Slavedmen and northerners who supported Reconstruction emerged in numerous localities under the name of the John Brown Underground (JBU), which led to federal intervention by President Thomas Jonathan Jackson in 1871 that oficially closed down the JBU. Republicans, calling themselves "Redeemers," regained control state by state, sometimes using fraud and violence to control state elections. A deep national economic depression following the Panic of 1873 led to major Republican gains in the South, the collapse of many railroad schemes in the North, and a growing sense of frustration in the South.
The end of Reconstruction was a staggered process, and the period of Democratic control ended at different times in different states. With the passage of the Act of 1877, CSA military intervention in the North ceased and Democratic control collapsed in the last three state governments in the North. This was followed by a period that black Northerners labeled "The Close One", as blacks in the North were not enslaved. 1877 saw the enactment of John Craw Laws and (after 1890) the disenfranchisement of most blacks in the North. Black Northerners' memory of Reconstruction played a major role in reinforcing the system of white supremacy and second-class citizenship for blacks, known as the age of John Craw.

If the clause with the fewer results still matches a large subset of the collection, then the scores and document numbers of all of these matches must be stored, requiring at least eight bytes per intermediate match. Lucene's existing BooleanQuery algorithm operates using very little memory. And what really is the savings? One still must enumerate all of the TermDocs or TermPositions of the more frequent clause. So all that one saves is the amount of logic in the inner loop. But Lucene already optimizes this by using a combination of a hash-table and bitwise integer operations, so that each step of the inner loop is constant time, and not proportional to the number of clauses in the conjunction. I'd be happy to see an alternate, faster implementation that does not use huge amounts of memory, but, until then, I'm not convinced this is a better appoach.

Ron Meyer is still reshaping the new MCA/Universal, but it's clear the future is in denim, at least on Fridays. Meyer sent a "Dear co-worker" memo around the lot late last week that makes official a trend that is catching on throughout Hollywood. "As of Nov. 10, Fridays are considered casual dress days. If you are not already dressing casually, please feel free to do so." Meyer has become a regular memomeister, dispensing about three per week, including much appreciated early reminders when the studio closes early on holidays. "Once we got a memo that came 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve saying the studio was closing at noon, " said a source. "The Meyer memos give a positive feeling on the lot."

Oatmeal Bread
READY IN: 2hrs 45mins
Recipe by Elizabeth H
This is a family recipe that I love. It makes great bread for toast or sandwiches (or just eating plain).
Top Review by pammyowl
Very good! I did change a few things, though. I halved it, but I kept the 2 Tbsp. of butter, as I always use that much in one loaf. Also, I cut the sugar by half but still used 1 1/2 tsp of salt. Personal preference only! :) Thanks for posting, made for Fall PAC 2012
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1⁄2 cup warm water
- 5 cups flour
Directions See How It's Made
- Pour boiling water over oats, whole-wheat flour, sugar, salt, and butter. Cool until lukewarm.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add this to the lukewarm batter. Add flour until the batter is thick enough to knead. Knead, adding enough flour while kneading to make a smooth elastic dough.
- Cover dough and let rise in a warm place until the dough is double in size. Punch the dough down. Shape into two loaves and put into ungreased bread pans. Let rise again until dough is even with top of loaf pans.
- Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. When loaves are still hot, grease tops of loaves with butter for a soft crust.

Smoother Ride With Wheel Spacer
Better functions of the brakes
When you add the car wheel spacers to your wheel mechanism, the body weight of the car gets distributed. This results in lesser load on the wheels. As a result, the tires will last longer. The tires are also pushed out from the fender. The chances of the tires getting rubbed continuously get decreased. The reduced wear and tear of the tires result in lesser maintenance charges related to tire replacement. The brake calipers can also make movement freely increasing their longevity and performance.
Increases the ground clearance
As you fit car wheel spacers onto your vehicle, you can be assured of a heightened performance of your vehicle. The ground clearance increases and the maneuvering of the car in taking sharper turns become easier. This requires lesser strength in turning the steering wheel of the car. If the road is bumpy and undulated, the suspension system can work better due to the increased ground clearance. Sometimes it is that the humps are quite high and this results in the car chassis in touching the road surfaces. There are chances of the chassis damage. On attaching the spacers, you can easily avoid the occurrence of such things.
Renders greater stability to the vehicle
A car having spacers attached is more stable than another having no spacers. As these accessories increases the traction of the vehicle, the grip on the road increases. As the tires can be pushed out, the weight of the car is distributed more outwards evenly leading to a better stability of the car. Even wider tires can be fitted to the vehicle. This further ensures a steadier ride. The chances of the car getting toppled over are decreased a lot while moving at high speeds.
Larger vehicles can have a smooth drive
In the larger vehicles such as the trucks, the attachment of the spacers ensures a smooth and safe drive. As there are gaps between the wheel and the hub, the insertion of spacers results in lesser jerking when the truck moves at a higher speed. This is also beneficial for the better longevity of the suspension system. The brakes can function in a better way, so the halt has to be made within a short distance can be done easily in case of a loaded truck. Thus, spacers enhance the safety aspects of the vehicles also.

SF College to host four-day theater conference beginning Wednesday
Published: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 5:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 5:21 p.m.
The curtain goes up Wednesday on the 55th annual Florida Theatre Conference Festival at Santa Fe College.
The four-day festival will feature several workshops, performances and auditioning opportunities for students in high school and college.
Terry Klenk, festival host and SF College theater director, said the college has been preparing since last year's event. This year marks the second time the conference will be held at SF College.
"We are expecting about 1,500 students over the span of" the festival, Klenk said.
The festival opens tonight with a performance of "The Three Musketeers" by Buchholz High School's drama club. A one-act festival for high school groups and several workshops are scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
Saturday's schedule features community theater and theater for youth festivals, along with more workshops.
Klenk said experts will hold workshops on topics ranging from singing to stage combat to playwriting to technical areas of the stage.
"It's about the business of theaters, the doing of theater and the professions of theater," Klenk said.
The college fair, where 38 schools will be present to meet with high school and college students, runs throughout the event.
Robert Ankrim, executive director of the Florida Theatre Conference, said SF College provides good space for the various workshops, and he enjoys how much attendees of all ages relish the opportunity to see each other perform.
"They all enjoy each other's work a lot," he said. "I think that's the greatest part of the whole thing."

The Bard is set for a comeback. After the success of the inaugural edition in 2000, when Calcutta was chosen as the first Asian address for the event, the Shakespeare Society of Eastern India (SSEI) is set to host the second World Shakespeare Conference (WSC) in the city from December 1 to 4.
The theme of the conference will be Multicultural Shakespeares, with the focus on subaltern and political aspects of the Bards work, said WSC convener Debnarayan Bandyopadhyay on Saturday. Loreto College is a possible venue for the four-day affair, he added.
The first conference on Colonial and Postcolonial Shakespeares was held in December 2000 in association with the British Council, Calcutta.
Over 200 delegates from the UK, the US, Canada, Austria and all over India attended the meet, the proceedings of which have subsequently been published. Participants from Greece and Israel are also likely to attend the second conference.
There are alternative Shakespeares and we would like our cultural politics to increasingly engage with his works to promote the relevance of Shakespeare studies in India, pointed out SSEI secretary Subir Dhar.
The SSEI will also organise a Shakespeare walk on November 30. Participants holding torches and attired in Elizabethan costumes will cover the stretch from Rashbehari Avenue to Rabindra Sadan. We aim to promote awareness in the area. Overseas scholars will visit universities and colleges in the districts and in other states once the conference is over to interact with students, researchers and academics, said Bandyopadhyay.
The organisers have also come up with innovative programmes like Chhou dance on Shakespearean motifs to make the Bard more popular in Bengal.
We will try to reflect Indian and Asian multicultural diversities in the course of the conference as Shakespeare is an interface that facilitates colonial and postcolonial transitional texts of power. Here lies the relevance of our conference for the postcolonial societies, SSEI president Amitava Roy summed up.

The General Assembly passed a bill (H1069) in the 2013 session that would shorten and stagger the DES (Division of Employment Security) Board of Review members' terms. The bill also revised how appointments to the board would be made with the Governor appointing one, the House appointing one and the Senate appointing one. As it currently stands the Governor has authority to appoint all three members subject to confirmation by the General Assembly. McCrory vetoed the bill in June, and has also sued the General Assembly for attempting to usurp his authority to control membership of executive branch boards and commissions.
The Senate Finance Committee recently approved legislation (S15) following a January recommendation from an oversight committee and sent it to the full Senate for consideration. It also shortens and staggers the three members' terms and sets deadlines for the governor to nominate members or else lose that authority to the legislature. Although the legislature would have final say in the appointments, this bill allows the Governor to appoint all three.
McCrory sent a letter to the oversight committee in December, 2014 strongly objecting to changing the Board of Review terms. He also has a problem with the bill's provision which would transfer part of the legal staff from the DES to the Board of Review.
Other major provisions of S15 are as follows:
- The right of the DES to garnish an employer's credit card receipts to recoup unpaid unemployment taxes.
- Require claimants to provide a photo ID in order to receive unemployment benefits.
- Increase required claimant weekly contacts with potential employers from 2 to 5 to remain eligible to receive unemployment benefits.
- Change the duration of benefits from a "Minimum and Maximum" to a set number of weeks based upon the "Maximum" number established by H1069 in 2013.

We had dinner here with friends who were visiting from abroad. We found the food very good, and staff friendly. Only down side was that the service was a bit slow although there was only a few customers. Overall, our experience was good.

We went here for a work leaving do. The food came quickly, which was good as we were on our lunch break. It was really tasty too and fresh. The location is good, right by the Thames, though it's set down a bit, so you can't actually see the river.

Rising inflation rates and the increasing need to improve the quality of life sometimes leaves us short of money. Ups and downs are part of our lives so an instant need for money can arise anytime. At other times, we might need to buy something that is the need of the hour and we might not have enough money to pay for it. In such times, taking out a loan can come in handy. Today, we have different types of loans that can come handy in your time of need.
In this article, we will be discussing two commonly known loans namely payday loans and installment loans. The difference lies between the amount of the loan and payment procedure. The reason people choose these two types of loans is because they don't require an extensive credit history unlike lower rate loans.
What is Payday Loan?
These loans can be quite helpful for emergency situations. It is a short-term loan that is usually paid back on the borrower's payday hence the name assigned to it. The requirement of taking out a payday loan is not that strict. So, what do you need for a payday loan? The borrower needs to be at least 18 years old, should have a bank account and a consistent source of income. The amount of money loaned ranges between $100 and $1,500. Payday loans can be borrowed through online services and there are companies that work in this field as well.
What is an Installment Loan?
Installment loans are quite similar to payday loans. Like payday loans, installment loans are also short term but they are used for longer financial struggles. You can also borrow a larger amount of money as compared to payday loans ranging between $1,000 and $2,000 and you can borrow more than that in some cases. The main difference between payday loan and installment loan is that installment loans can be returned to the lender in installments divided over several months. Moreover, you can choose among various installment loan types.
How Payday Loans Work?
The borrower hands a check to the lender which includes the amount of money borrowed plus the fee being charged by the lender, the check is post-dated and the lender keeps the check and then cashes it on borrower's payday.
How Installment Loans Work?
The procedure for an installment loan is a bit more systematic and sophisticated as compared to the one for payday loans. To begin the procedure, the borrower applies for the loan and has to indicate the reason for borrowing to the lender. Installment loans are usually based on a larger amount of money so the reasons for taking them out can include buying a car or similar items that cost a large amount of money. The discussion before the lender lends the money includes points like amount of down payment, terms of the loan, payment schedule and payment amounts.
Differentiating Payday and Installment Loans
The following are some points that make payday and installment loans different from each other:
Amount of Borrowed Money
Payday loans can range from $100 to $1,500 while installment loans are larger in amounts ranging from $150 to several thousands of dollars.
Payback Time
Payday loans are supposed to be really short-term and are paid back within a month or less time. On the other hand, installment loans have a pre-decided number of installments to be paid over a pre-decided number of months.
Payday loans are usually not usually not secured, unlike title loans in Reno, NV. The lender does not assess the borrower's ability to payback based on any credit history but on how quickly did a borrower pay back during previous times. Installment loans are secured. The typical way to secure such loans is with personal property which does not include real estate. Collateral items might include cars, electronic appliances and jewelry.
Case of Failing to Pay
If a borrower fails to pay his payday loan, then the full amount is rolled over but the borrower has to pay additional interest along with the original amount of money that is due. Installment loans can be renewed every few months but new interest is charged.
Additional Charges
With payday loans, the borrower is only paying the interest as the additional amount of money but the case is different for installment loans. Borrowers have to pay additional charges like application fee, processing fee and late payment fee when using installment loans.
Which is More Convenient?
In general, nobody likes to take a loan because it feels like a burden. However, loans can be a great help in cases of emergencies. The question is which loan to choose if we are given the option of taking out a payday loan or an installment loan. Payday loans seem like a quick and instant solution but it's one of those things that gradually sets a trap around you. Payday loan payments seems easier at first glance but the amounts of interests being charged are exceptionally expensive. Moreover, payday loan companies don't have a good reputation. On the other hand, installment loan payment is easier to pay as you pay back in increments. The process is also more sophisticated and seems reliable. A person can also choose among different installment loan types according to what their personal need is. The borrower might have to pay some additional charges but installment loans are a better choice against payday loans since the whole procedure is carried out with better planning and it is safer.
Financial loans through reliable and authentic financial institutions can be a great help. However, before you take out any type of loan, it is advised to do some personal analysis to ensure that your need is genuine and that you can pay back in time. Choosing the type of loan can depend on your needs and how quick you want the loan to be approved. Loans generally mean debt and it's always difficult to pay off in one go so people generally lean more towards installment loans.

He won his first Oscar for Best Actor in 1976 for his portrayal of private investigator Joe Hutz in director Martin Scorsese's acclaimed thriller, From the Shadows.
De Niro was "grey-listed" in the late-1990s for his liberal and anti-red scare activism, which resulted in him only performing in the theatre between 1998 and 2002.

Opera 9 Beta 2 has now been released. It has significant improvements in stability and in the widgets since the previous Beta 1. I am happy that they got rid of the faded screen that the widgets use to always appear on.
Overall, I having been running this version for a little while now and it is pretty much a lot of under-the-hood work that you won't visually notice. However, I do notice that Beta 2 runs smoother and quicker than Beta 1, so it is definitely worth the upgrade. Check out the release notes below if you want to know everything that is new in Beta 2.
