About Me
Anything I write here is gonna sound cheesy, so CHEESE! I love cheese
You might notice in my references that people call me Josephine. Recently I moved to Israel to start my new life here, and when I did, I changed my name to Sophia. It hasn't been easy but I have loved every minute of it. Right now I am studying political science in th university here in Herzliyah and learning about the political situation in Israel and the Middle East. I used to be a pastry chef but now I think I would like to work as a diplomat or in international relations in some capacity. I still love to cook but just for myself and my friends.
The more I learn, the more I realise that I know very little. Never stop searching for knowledge.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I haven't surfed in CS for a few years now and I miss it very much. The summer I spent in Europe couchsurfing was one of my most treasured memories. Right now I live with 2 other roommate and I am not sure how keen they are on couchsurfing and having strangers sleeping on our couch. With time I hope to persuade him to join the couchsurfing revolution. I really want to give back. Many people have been writing to me asking me about Israel and I am more than happy to share my experience about this amazing country. Keep writing! I love it.
I joined CS in 2009 and was quite active for a while in my hometown, Montreal, and in Europe but I have recently become a bit preoccupied with my new life here in Israel and have not given back as much as I would have liked. I hope that can change soon. I have had experience surfing in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany and it has been mostly positive. I have had a few run ins with troubled people but for the most part it has been amazing and I have met some really interesting people.
Chocolate, pastry, photography, art, art galleries, politics

I love the Beatles, Sublime, Led Zeppelin, Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cranberries, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, Marilyn Manson, Moody Blues, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aphex Twin, System of A Down, Aqua, Tracy Chapman, Rhapsody, Apocalyptica, Metric, Lady Gaga (I really love her!). I am really open to many types of music but you wont find me listening to gangster rap or much country (although I do like some country like Dolly Parton and some dixie chicks).
My favourite book is Anna Karenina. Lady Chatterly's Lover is also up there with Little Women, Hamlet, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, East of Eden, 1984, etc...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
There is not one thing that I have done or seen that I can point out as truly amazing. I am so blessed for all opportunities I have had. Everything that I have seen and done has been amazing in one way or another. I just keep it going for as long as I possibly can.
If I could name just one thing amazing that I have done in my life is in June 2009 I sat on the rooftop of a hotel watching the moon rise over the Jordanian mountains in the Arab city of Aqaba, the southern tip of Jordan just across the border from Eilat, Israel. My dear friend and I smoked lemon mint narghila. Next time I see him will be on a week-long jeep tour of Egypt.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the Wilmington Concert Association's death are greatly exaggerated.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the Wilmington Concert Association's death are greatly exaggerated.
Officers say the 85-year-old group, which has brought hundreds of musicians and dozens of dance companies to the Port City, is going through a rebuilding year. In place of its traditional four-program schedule, the association will offer three smaller concerts in 2014 and 2015.
Meanwhile, the WCA is laying plans for a major revival in 2015 and 2016, when it will move its season from its longtime home of Kenan Auditorium on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington to Cape Fear Community College's new Humanities and Fine Arts Center (HFAC).
The move will make the WCA the HFAC's first local tenant.
"I was thrilled to hear from the Wilmington Concert Association when they reached out to me," said HFAC director Shane Fernando. "We look forward to working together as partners in ensuring their continued success."
Founded in 1929, the WCA had brought artists such as Itzhak Perlman and the Canadian Brass to Wilmington, often before they became "name" stars. The group, however, suffered financial setbacks in recent years.
"Back in February, we more or less concluded that we couldn't continue to do what we had been doing," said Wilmington businessman Dean Gattone, a longtime WCA board member who took over in June as the association's president.
With 20-20 hindsight, Gattone admits that booking the celebrated concert pianist Emmanuel Ax on Super Bowl Sunday earlier this year was not a good idea.
At the same time, the classical music scene was changing, and the WCA wasn't adapting, Gattone said. For example, touring opera companies were long a part of the association's schedule. With the proliferation of theatrical simulcasts by the Metropolitan Opera and other companies, however, few companies book tours any more.
Thus, the WCA board began to develop a major new strategic plan. A major step in that process was hiring Nicole Thompson in June as a part-time, freelance consultant with the goal of raising funds for a 2015-2016 season.
A professional singer who performs regularly at St. James Episcopal Church, Thompson, who moved to the area from Minneapolis three years ago, has 20 years' experience working with arts organizations in administration, concert production, event planning and marketing. Locally, she is also working with the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra as a marketing and development assistant.
Thompson said WCA's more modest schedule for this fall and spring will lead off with the classical trio Strata Nov. 3 at Thalian Hall. Strata consists of a pianist, a clarinetist and a violinist, each of whom holds a music scholarship from Juilliard.
Meanwhile, the WCA is rethinking its financing. For decades, the group had relied on selling season subscriptions, releasing relatively few single-concert tickets to the public. Gattone said the association would adjust that balance, budgeting for half its fund to come from subscriptions and half from individual ticket sales. Ticket prices will be adjusted so that the season pass remains the better deal, he said.
Gattone attributed at least some of the association's problems to Kenan Auditorium, which he said can have trouble accommodating large touring companies. At least once, the association had to rent tents and erect them outside the 1,000-seat theater as makeshift dressing rooms to accommodate a traveling ballet troupe.
With 1,500 seats and larger, state-of-the-art backstage facilities, the HFAC will "allow us to do some things we haven't been able to do," Gattone said, such as serving beverages and snacks during intermission.
Gattone is optimistic that the WCA has a bright future, and the group still has a 2,700-name mailing list on which to base its appeals.
"The rules of the game have changed," Gattone said. "But I still feel there's a place for a group like us in Wilmington."

Overseas investors' participation in Hong Kong's futures and options market remained significant and their contribution surpassed that of local investors for two consecutive years, according to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited's (HKEx) Derivatives Market Transaction Survey 2012/13.
In 2012/13, the total market turnover for the products under study was 125m contracts, down 7 percent from 135m contracts in 2011/12. Stock options remained the dominant product, contributing 48 percent of the total market turnover (as measured by contract volume).
HKEx participants (EP), comprising market maker and proprietary trading, contributed 49 percent of total market turnover, with overseas investors contributing 27 percent (compared to 26 percent in 2011/12), and local investors contributing 23 per cent (compared to 24 percent in the previous year.
On the other hand, retail investors contributed 21 percent of total market turnover (the same as in 2011/12), mostly from local retail investors (18 percent). Institutional investors contributed 30 percent in 2012/13 (compared to 29 percent last year), most of this (24 percent) being from overseas institutional investors.
For Hang Seng Index futures (HSI) and H-shares Index (HHI) futures, overseas institutional investors were the major contributors with 49 percent and 58 percent of the product's turnover respectively. On the other hand, for Mini-HSI and Mini-HHI futures, the major contributor was local retail investors (44 percent and 49 percent respectively).
For HSI and HHI options, EP principal trading was dominant – 50 percent, with 42 percent from market making, and 51 per cent, 29 percent from market making and 22 percent from proprietary trading.
Among overseas investors, United Kingdom investors and Continental European investors were the two largest contributors to overseas investor trading (28 percent and 27 percent respectively). They were followed by US investors (18 percent). Almost all trading from these origins came from institutional investors (over 95 percent).
The aggregate contribution from investors in Asia outside Hong Kong was 23 percent of overseas investor trading, mainly from Mainland China and Singapore (10 percent and 8 percent respectively).A comprehensive report in our Intelligence Report series giving a country-by-country analysis of offshore investment funds, stock exchanges and trusts, with an analysis of the US QI regime, is available in the Lowtax Library at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/subs_reports.asp and a description of the report can be seen at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/description_report9.asp

I forgot to mention that last night I went to a Murder Mystery Comedy Dinner as part of the Biophysics recruiting weekend. It was held in a Back Bay brownstone that is normally the Boston Women's College Club. There were five actors playing various roles.
The bottom line is: the food was very nice, the setting (a mock birthday party) was very comfortable, and the comedy was absolutely cringe-inspiring. I felt truly sorry for the actors; they were all not only talented actors but singers as well. Unfortunately, they were also the least enthusiastic cast I have ever encountered, and were putting on some of the least convincing accents. If they'd shown half the zeal of the Westport Community Theater crowd, it would have been a dramatically better evening.
In the end, I think blame lies with the entire concept; this sort of dinner should not be a comedy, for the same reason that Agatha Christie did not write comedies. However, even in this mode, the plot still could have been about a million times more interesting. The actors' apathy was further evidenced by the fact that they left the dinner before we did. Oh well.

NEC joins suppliers backing Quad Data Rate SRAMs
Post a comment
SAN JOSE -- NEC Corp. today announced it was joining Cypress Semiconductor Corp. and Micron Technology Inc. to support new Quad Data Rate (QDR) static RAMs for high-performance memories in switches, routers, and other systems applications with data rates above 200 MHz.
Cypress, Micron, and Integrated Device Technology Inc. announced the QDR SRAM specifications in 1999 to make available compatible products from multiple suppliers (see July 26, 1999, story). NEC joins the group in co-developing QDR SRAM product specs for pin- and function-compatible products.
"It is the most viable means to achieve the high-bandwidth memories required by the next wave of high-speed data networks," said Zensuke Matsuda, general manager of NEC's 2nd LSI Memory Division in Japan. "We are committing to this specification because it drives the development of the memory products our customers need to design their future data networking systems."
The QDR SRAM architecture has two ports that independently run at double data rate (DDR), resulting in four data items per clock cycle. Depending on the applications, QDR SRAMs can more than double the SRAM bandwidth, according to QDR SRAM suppliers.

What's the Best Name For the Current Economic Situation?
What's the Best Name For the Current Economic Situation?
Whenever there's something big going down, the people responsible for reporting on it are inclined to come up with a name for the situation. Throughout these uncertain economic times, there have been several references introduced, from the straightforward credit crisis to the government involvement derived Great Intervention.
Ali Velshi, the chief business correspondent for CNN, notes that a truly accurate name can't be given until the economy has started to recover and said, "We need some time to go by before we know what the turning points are and what actually happened." That may be true, but the current economic situation needs a name for the time being. All of these choices have been thrown around in the media — which do you think is most appropriate?

text: You've seen a lot of Belinda Reynolds around NewMusicBox lately—she's been offering us a weekly crash course in issues related to composing for students. When I heard Play, the work inspired by a game she plays with her students on her new disc, I found my ear coyly charmed in a way I was not expecting. But the rest of the disc might serve as required listening for composers who fear that writing for amateur players will buff the edge off of the skill and inventiveness they might display in the rest of their work. Seems the opposite is true, at least in Reynolds's case. The album's title track has a mysterious, fairytale quality to the opening flute line, and though the cello and piano pull things down a slightly darker path, the music finds itself cycling around again, not quite down the same path, but through similar trees.

The Blue Duck is preparing for the opening of its new location at 516 W. Front St. on the Washington Riverfront.
The restaurant will officially open Monday, Sept. 9. It is the first commercial tenant in the Rhine River Development.
Along with the move, the restaurant shortened its name, dropping cafe and bakery from the title.
Karmen Rayburn, who owns the restaurant with her husband Chris, said she they couldn't be more pleased with new location.
"We're excited to be downtown on the riverfront and to be a part of the downtown community," she said. "We've had a lot of community support and we hope everyone will follow us to the riverfront."
The couple has been working to secure a new location since about November 2012, primarily due to the need for additional space. Ground was broken for the new restaurant in April 2013.
The restaurant will take up the first floor of the building, about 3,169 square feet, with seating for 75 seats in the main dining area, 25 in a lounge area and an additional 45 on the outdoor patio.
Rayburn noted that the restaurant and patio will be smoke free in accordance with Smoke Free Washington.
Hours, Menu
Along with the move and name change, the hours also have been expanded.
Hours will be Monday through Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and closed Sunday.
Rayburn said they are exploring the possibility of adding Sunday brunch in the future.
For the most part, the lunch menu will stay the same, she said. A limited dinner menu will feature the lunch items as well as seasonal dinners. The restaurant also will have a full bar.
"We want to thank the entire community for supporting us over the last three years and for making it possible to take on this new venture," Rayburn said.
Orders can still be called in. The restaurant's phone number will stay the same, 636-390-9131.
The restaurant's new website will be www.blueduckwashmo.com.

Protestants may soon account for less than half of the United States population for the first time since the country's founding, according to a survey released by the University of Chicago yesterday, reported Reuters.
From 1993 to 2002, Protestant membership in the U.S. fell from 63 percent of the population to 52 percent, and researchers predict that it will continue to drop to below half in the next two years.
While the number of Protestants has decreased and the number of people claiming no religion has increased, from nine to 14 percent, the number of Catholics in 2002 remained fairly steady at about 25 percent.
The survey found that Protestants are in decline because younger adherents are dropping out. Also, some Protestants have now decided to identify themselves simply as "Christian", explains the report. However, researchers expect that immigration will likely keep Catholic rates stable.
People who belong to other religions – including Eastern faiths and Islam, Orthodox Christians, interdenominational Christians and native-American faiths – increased from 3 percent to 7 percent. The number of Jewish people remained stable at slightly under two percent.
The study defined Protestants all post-Reformation Christian churches, such as Baptist, Methodist and Episcopalian, including Mormons and New Age Spirituality adherents.
The survey has been tracking societal trends for 32 years. It included 2,765 people and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percent for the 2002 statistics.

It was an uneven defensive performance for the Nationals Sunday, as they committed two errors and lost two fly balls in the sun in a 6-2 loss to Milwaukee.
Outfielders Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth each lost fly balls in the sun. The fly balls dropped to the ground in front of them for base hits.
Harper said it was tough to see the ball as the afternoon sun moved through the sky.
"You can't catch what you can't see," Harper said. "Nothing you can do about it. The sun monster got me and there is nothing you can do.
"When it is right down the middle of the sun it is kind of hard. You try to get left or right, try to get below it. I got below the second one and caught it. Nothing you can do, it just happens."
Harper said this happened against the Marlins, too, and as the game progressed, the view from center field changes as the sun moves through the sky.
"Once 4:05 (p.m.) comes around, you got shadows at the plate, you got the left field stands and you got the sun monster behind," Harper said. "It is something that happens. You got to play with it. Hopefully, it doesn't happen anymore."
Manager Davey Johnson said it was difficult for his outfielders to see the baseball in the sun as they game progressed. He even considered shifting his outfield around, but then Werth dropped a ball, too.
"It is a tough sun, no doubt about it. It is just one of those days," Johnson said. "I was thinking about moving Werth over there, I guess it didn't matter."
Johnson said to see Harper have trouble was difficult, but then when Werth could not catch a fly ball because of the sun, he knew there was a major problem.
"When Jayson misses one in the sun, he is pretty good out there," Johnson said. "He knows how to use the glove to block out the sun to the last minute and then snatch it, but it was a tough day."
Johnson might consider early practice with a few afternoon games remaining on the schedule, plus the possibility of sunny games during the day in the postseason.
"We may come out early and shag some fly balls," Johnson said. "It seems to be around 2:00 or 3:00 o'clock when they are having trouble. (Third base coach) Bo Porter was starting to play them around so they could get a better angle on the sun, but (the Brewers) started to hit where we weren't playing. As far as strategy, nothing worked today."

Tasty Recent Things
Saratoga isn't so far for me, and yet I have a problem with getting to many local businesses during the hours they are open. I was happy I've made it to Saratoga at least once for TC Paris!
Eclair & a Paris Brest. Their pate a choux is fantastic – it stays crisp even when filled with delicious custard and creme. The chocolate on the eclair had a judicious amount of sweetness, and was perfect with their vanilla bean pastry cream filling.
And the Paris Brest. Oh. A pate a choux circle piped with a candied hazelnut buttercream. I don't know if one of these circles is a serving, but I ate the whole thing in one go. It was just. So. Good. It's like an oversized doughnut, in terms of size. It's probably meant for at least two. But just eat it until you feel sated. So good.
Lily bulb with asparagus and ginko ($13) at Ala Shanghai. The ginkos were mild and soft, went well with the asparagus, which still retained some crunchiness.
Yum – it's a great dish for summer!

" Brand: Johnson's. Baby shampoos / Type: Hair Shampoo / What it does: Smoothes, "
My 2.5 year old daughter has lovely long hair which we have a nightmare to keep looking neat and tidy as she has to be bribed to let me tie it up out of the way so it inevitably ends up getting tangled and food etc in it when she's eating. I resorted to diluting a bit of my leave in conditioner to spray into her hair but was worried that it would be too heavy for her hair still, and when out shopping i found a bottle of this in one of the £1 shops, so thought i would give it a try. And i was glad i did, as it really does help keep her hair looking smooth and shiny and more importantly tange free after washing it! no more tantrums and tears at my house after bathtime!!! It lathers up well, rinses easily and it smells quite nice too!!!
No More Tangles Easy-Comb Shampoo / Teach her how with Johnson's Buddies Easy-comb 2-in-1 Shampoo / Pour, lather, rinse and comb / Massage a drop of shampoo into her hair and scalp / If she's shampooing on her own, check to make sure she's done a thorough job / Once she's built up a good lather, rinse clean to unlock knots and tangles, leaving hair smooth and easy to comb /

What is the story? I am guessing this is a missing family member or an unsolved murder?
#4 Jul 7, 2008
No, no one knows anything more than they did in June of 2004.
The investigators if they can even be called that made a snap judgement and dismissed even collecting evidence from the crime scene. Then when the facts didn't fit the theory they realized they screwed up big time. They had the crime lab guys come back and actually process a crime scene TWO WEEKS later.
Why you might ask? Simple, the lead guy walked in, made a snap decision "Bah crime scene, we don't need any of this, I know who did it!"(He didn't even know anyone there mind you and nothing to base this idea off of) then when the evidence made the wanna-be psychic detective look like the south end of a north bound donkey. He had to try to get the facts to match the theory. When it didn't, guess what the head honcho did? Walked off and washed his hands of it because he couldn't get the facts to match his theory.
And let me say once and for all to every single person in water valley one thing and let this sink in REALLY good.
No matter how much you try to lie, bend the truth or gossip, the truth is the same and you can't lie your way out of it.

I have thought a good while about whether to or even if I should reply to this, since obviously, it is directed at me.
I have come to the conclusion that, I cannot simply let this go unanswered. I must say my piece on the matter like you have repeatedly done.
You have repeatedly lied. There is no other word to describe the things you have said other than simply, lies.
I hauled butt? That's amusing. Since I withstood physical violence, an ambulance ride, death threats and repeated harassment for more than six months at the hands of people I called friends and "family".
I left to prevent more bystanders getting hurt. None, not one of you or anything you could ever do, even remotely frighten me. Don't you ever forget that I left for the sake of others, not myself. You were going to get someone hurt or even killed.
And if you think that losing everything I ever loved or cared about, friends, "family", possessions, everything, and living like I do now, "living it up", then you are either blind, ignorant of the facts or both.
You have no concept of the truth or even basic facts. Have you even for one second stopped and considered that your wrong? Could you even imagine looking at yourselves from that point of view? Take a moment to consider it, that you have been wrong and everything you've done. How you live with yourselves is frankly, beyond my comprehension.
Think about this for a little bit and consider why you're doing this. I have, I have spent nearly the last five years trying to understand it. I can only consider two possibilities for your actions.
I won't say them here but I will say this, while some people have been making up very easily refutable lies about me, I have been quietly listening.
I do not believe for one second that a murderer ever left that town. I NEVER would have let anything happen to her, and to this DAY I would GLADLY trade my life for hers. And don't you EVER pretend I don't stop to think EVERY SINGLE DAY that if I had stayed home I could have prevented this or died trying.
You either know what I'm saying is true, or you're too blinded by rage and ignorance to care. Either way it doesn't matter.
One day, I will get to look into the eyes of the person that murdered my wife, and I'm going to spit in them.
And when that day comes and you realize what all of you have done to me, don't ever, tell me you're sorry for the things that were done to me. I cannot forgive any of you. And I don't think she would either.
This is the last time I will speak to any of you,
Damn all of you for what you've done.

if you want to make a speach why dont you start with why you failed the polygraph twice.and told her father that you probaly only got one quastion write. one of the quistions was your name.by the way there is no wrong or write,just the truth or a lie,and we all know how that turned out. why dont you tell the family why ever thing you said was a lie,like you and her were getting along,when everbody knew yall were fighting for three days and your best friend even said that you said she didnt love you anymore.that she was fixing to leave you. exsplain why 3 DAYS after she was murdered you were hanging all over a 16 year old girl at the exxon station,who you are now married to. why did you tell 3 different peaple 3 different storys. The truth is easy to keep up with but a lie is not so easy.I could keep going but i think you get the idea .by the way your speach was nice how did it take you to come up with it (5 YEARS)
#11 Jul 19, 2009
I'll break my own word by replying here but again, I can no longer sit idle while people openly lie about this.
"if you want to make a speach why dont you start with why you failed the polygraph twice."
There is no clear cut answer to this question. It takes time and a good bit of research to wade through the mounds of BS that surround this procedure.
First you must keep in mind that the entire test is subjective. It uses changes in the test subjects physiology(pulse, BP, respiration, and sweat production, etc) that are read by the tester. The tester then bases his opinion on whether the subject is lying or telling the truth. Yep, the examiners OPINION. There is no such thing as a Lie Detector.
This means that if the person being tested gets upset it produces a false negative. Also medical conditions adversely effect the test. Heavy drinking before the test can effect the test.
National Academy of Sciences called Polygraphs "voodoo science". It's studied accuracy is ONLY 61%. The polygraph is useless.
"and told her father that you probaly only got one quastion write."
I don't ever remember saying that.
"one of the quistions was your name.by the way there is no wrong or write,just the truth or a lie,and we all know how that turned out. why dont you tell the family why ever thing you said was a lie"
I've never lied about any of this.
"like you and her were getting along,when everbody knew yall were fighting for three days and your best friend even said that you said she didnt love you anymore.that she was fixing to leave you."
I never said we were getting along perfectly. What did however happen is that she packed and moved out for a week which was MY decision and SHE wanted to come back home and I agreed. I would have willingly let her leave me at any time. I do not believe in staying in a broken relationship. Now if she was leaving me, why ask to come home? What you are trying to say not only is a lie, it doesn't make any sense.
"exsplain why 3 DAYS after she was murdered you were hanging all over a 16 year old girl at the exxon station,who you are now married to."
This is an outright lie. We began a relationship long after Kristy was murdered and I am not married to her either.
"why did you tell 3 different peaple 3 different storys."
I'm not sure who it is I'm speaking to but if it's who I think it is, you know good and damn well I have NEVER even once, told two different stories. Even the investigators have said this openly. But a couple of people have. You are grasping at straws.
"The truth is easy to keep up with but a lie is not so easy."
I couldn't agree more.
"I could keep going but i think you get the idea."
I get the idea, I really do. Pin it on the husband regardless of the truth, how convenient.
"by the way your speach was nice how did it take you to come up with it (5 YEARS)"
Actually, yeah it did. But the point of it is still the same. You are WRONG. And what's even worse, you know it.

the other person that took the polograph test not a lie detecter test past it .why did a judge have to make you pay kristys grandmother back for her funeral after you got her estate.know matter how much you hated them that doesnt say much about you except your greedy our just didnt care. and the polygraph test is based on adrinalin that goes to your heart when you lie,even if the lie is over nothing sugnificate. and if your are saying her father is a lier why not call and tell him that.
#13 Jul 19, 2009
"the other person that took the polograph test not a lie detecter test past it ."
As I said, the polygraph is inaccurate. Completely and utterly inaccurate. A "lie Detector" is another word for a Polygraph.
"why did a judge have to make you pay kristys grandmother back for her funeral after you got her estate.know matter how much you hated them that doesnt say much about you except your greedy our just didnt care."
You are evidently not who I thought you were or you would know different. The family filed a petition(Formal request) to LOCK the estate until the investigation was closed. I had NO choice in the matter. Saying I withheld money until ordered by the court is absurd. I didn't have any say so in the matter. That was
the families decision to request to lock it. They stopped the settling of the estate.
If that's what they said, they are lying, outright. And I would have NO problem releasing all the documentation to prove it.
" and the polygraph test is based on adrinalin that goes to your heart when you lie,even if the lie is over nothing sugnificate. "
I'm afraid that isn't the way it works. And even if it did, the notion that adrenaline is released ONLY when you're lying is equally wrong. These tests also do NOT prove my guilt or his innocent either. I mean with an accuracy rate of only 11% greater than a coin toss? Why is it you you think they are inadmissible in court?
"and if your are saying her father is a lier why not call and tell him that."
I don't have a problem calling anyone that lies, a liar.
However, I do have a notion of how this particular one got started. Either He misunderstood what I actually said(I was very upset at the time and I do mumble sometimes) or the person repeating what he said misunderstood or is outright lying.
On a finale note. I think for the sake of others involved we should refrain from posting here any further. I'm not about to harm what little is left of a miserably botched, self deluded, closed minded investigation suffer over facts being leaked onto the internet for all to see.
And before you say I'm hiding something, I'll explain. I don't really care what gets out in the context of information about me. I could simply care less. I have nothing to hide and never did.

i know it was tied up in court but when you did get the money you didnt want to pay for your wifes funeral. and your calling her grandmother a liar. if you rember she was in the court room.seems like ever body is liar but you. ps just one more lie. you told me you were worried about the polygraph becouse you and kristy were fighting about rebel being the house.and your diary you left laying around said she blew you a kiss when you left.now which is it. or do you not remember that either. i know your smarter than me but im not stupid and i want be writing back.becouse like you im not a liar
#16 Jul 19, 2009
What the hell are you talking about? I know who was in the court room. I never tried to NOT pay for the funeral.
And yeah, when everyone keeps making shit up, I'll keep calling them liars.
Yes, we fought, name me one married couple that doesn't.
What difference does blowing me a kiss make? By the way, I told everyone that, including the investigators.
Which is what?
I don't see where intelligence has to do with anything.
And I really tire of saying this...BUT I AM NOT LYING.
Make some kind of point besides saying "you're a liar!" and then not backing it up.
#17 Feb 19, 2011
One...do your research. Polygraphs are based off of physiological responses that can be set off by wordings in questions. There are no standards in how to measure the results of a polygraph so they vary with each person administoring the test. Last but not least, 17% are falsely accused.
Now, here is the fun part.....
First, yeah ok maybe "her husband" did it. Too easy to blame him. Everyone knew their relationship was not so hot. They both were cheating on each other. OBVIOUS person to blame.
Second, the man she was cheating on him with....I have suspicions about because of conversations with him during his drunk and broken down periods. But no, it wasn't him either.
Now, I am going to tell you who. BUT, first let's talk about motive. The need, the desire, the urge to kill someone. Why did THEY do it? JEALOUSY!!!! They mentioned it and whined about it before. SHE always got what she wanted, SHE was the most popular, SHE had the most friends, yada yada yada. She had everything you two wanted and couldn't get. SHE was your parent's favorite too and she had the man one of you desperately wanted. Yes, you now see where this is going. It was easy to get into her house without the dog attacking you because the dog knew you very well. Plus, the dog always attacked males and anyone new. Oh, it was easy to find her the next day. You told the cops that the reason why you cleaned the crime scene yourself was because you were so scared that you peed on yourself. HMMMM. Now, the one that wanted the man didn't get him and had to settle for staying drugged up in her room while her kids were doing God knows what. The other one, haha oh the other one, started to dress in her clothes, cut and colored her hair to match hers, started wearing glasses, started acting just like her and then what happened. Before you know it she leaves her husband to be with that guy. But that wasn't good enough for you was??? Because he doesn't love you like he loved her. You will never be her. Her memory will haunt you both forever....

Before anyone starts throwing a tantrum and blaming me for posting this; Let me state unambiguously that I did NOT write the above quoted post.

#17, you are a sick S.O.B! there is a hot place in hell waiting for you. You dont have any idea what her sisters have been threw! and if you know so much, you would know both her sisters where married and they were at home with there husbands when she was killed. and your saying the polgraph is wrong 17% of the time, so its write 83% of the time. I"ll take those odds! GET A LIFE RETARD!!!

#20 Feb 23, 2011
You'll take those odds? Really?
You would bet your life on it? I ask because you seem to have no problem betting someone else's life on it. And this contains about all that needs to be said on your level of irresponsibility and ignorance.
The polygraph is garbage. You need to deal with it.

Surname meaning for "Winch"
in examples such as William de la Winche (Worcestershire 1275) evidently a topographic name, perhaps for someone who lived at a spot where boats were hauled up onto the land by means of pulleys, from Middle English winche 'reel', 'roller'. However, Old English wince as an element of place names may also have meant 'corner' or 'nook', and in some cases the surname may be derived from this sense.

South Carolina Growers Experiencing Favorable Weather Conditions for Peach and Berry Crops
Columbia, SC
By ANUK Starff
Cooperative weather has led South Carolina peach and berry growers to expect a good season.
"We've been really fortunate lately as far as the weather is concerned with fruit and berry crops," said Andy Rollins, a Clemson Extension agent in Spartanburg County, as reported by the Independent Mail.
"Things look pretty good right now for peaches and strawberries — but we dodged a bullet with the weather last month. Honestly, I can't explain it scientifically."
Douglas Bielenberg, Associate Professor of Plant Physiology at Clemson, noted that but an early warm up followed by a hard freeze can wreck the peach crop for the year, as it did in 2007. Bielenberg doesn't see anything this year resembling the catastrophe that struck six years ago.
"It depends where you are for the peaches and how much the late cold affected them," he said. "Those that didn't get too heavily thinned by the cold are looking good, I think.
Amy Howard London, peach marketing specialist for the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, said, "The South Carolina peach growers are anticipating a good season in 2013. The harvest volume will be normal, and is expected to begin the second week in May and last through August. The trees are in good shape, and no unusual flowering problems have occurred."
Averaging $90 million in value annually, Peaches are the state's most valuable and widely produced fruit. South Carolina is consistently the nation's second-largest peach-producing state behind California and ahead of neighboring Georgia.
Strawberries, blackberries and blueberries also seem on target this year.
"There have been some serious virus problems on strawberries in other states, but we haven't found it so far in South Carolina," Rollins said. "There are two viruses involved, and you need to have both to have the problem. We're keeping a close watch on it, but our transplants come from a different area than the ones that have affected other states, so we're pretty hopeful at this stage."
So far, the weather has proven conductive to berry growth.
"We'll keep our fingers crossed for continued good weather," Rollins said. "It's been a little dry, but the majority of our strawberry crop is under drip irrigation, so we can make our own rain if we need to."

I am not sure how he made this website.. I basically just copied and pasted the html code
I suspect that is your major problem.
The correct way to do it is to open up the REMOTE website and PUBLISH is back to your computer. Just make an empty website on your computer, then publish it that.
2. The sidebar could have been done using CSS or a div placing it on a certain location on the page (wild guess).
3. It does matter how you upload the site. There are several features of Frontpage that get messed up if you FTP it. General advice when using FP is to publish the site to be on the safe side.
4. If you are starting a new sidebar investigate FP "includes" or Server Side Includes to save yourself a lot of trouble updating it in future.

Leroy Gonzales, Week of January 4, 2010
Leroy Gonzales showed exemplary customer service when he got his hands dirty, literally, for a customer. In December, Gonzales was on his normal route which included picking up recyclable materials at the KRQE Channel 13 studios. After collecting the newspapers from KRQE and continuing on his route, Gonzales was notified that a KRQE employee had accidentally thrown her purse into the recycle bins that had just been dumped into the truck. Once Gonzales got to the IPF, also known as the recycle plant, he dumped his entire load from his truck and with his two hands went through everything he collected to find the purse. Gonzales then drove back to the KRQE studios and delivered the purse to a very grateful customer.

Comic-Con 2014: 'Godzilla 2′ Officially Announced; Three New Monsters Revealed
Perhaps this time we will let "our hero" Godzilla get some actual rest before dispatching him to battle the world's other major MUTOs? Is that too much to ask? We've known for months that Legendary is eager to stay in the 'Godzilla' business after the success of this summer's awesome Gareth Edwards' feature film -- after all, they did announce a sequel to the film within days of it hitting the big screen -- but there have been plenty of lingering questions as to when that would happen and who (or what) we could expect to see in the next feature.
Comic-Con 2014: 'The Flash' Doesn't Need Speed Limits in New Teaser
Hot on the heels of the success of The CW's 'Arrow' television series comes the network's crack at another beloved DC superhero with their soon-to-premiere series 'The Flash.' Starring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen (aka the fast-moving Flash), the new series spins off from 'Arrow,' but still promises to take the eponymous hero into a new direction -- you know, and quickly. The network has debuted a new teaser for the series at Comic-Con, and it's a fun and fresh look at what we can expect to see in the new series.
Comic-Con 2014: Channing Tatum Raps 'Just a Friend' With Biz Markie
Every year, Comic-Con comes complete with some major surprises -- be it the announcement of an unexpected film or the reveal of a major piece of casting -- but rarely do such surprises involving rap superstars randomly popping on stage in the middle of a panel to sing their biggest hit alongside one of entertainment's most beloved leading men. In what has to be a first-time event, Biz Markie interrupted the 'Book of Life' panel to jam out to his classic jam, "Just A Friend," and was then...joined by star Channing Tatum?
Wonder Woman First Look Revealed at 'Batman vs. Superman' Comic-Con Panel
If it's Saturday at Comic-Con, it's time for the big guns to come out, and Warner Bros. has done that with some serious style. The studio's panel opened with a big, bruising look at 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,' thanks to a new trailer (and more on that to come -- much more!), before director Zack Snyder trotted out stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot to greet their fans.
Comic-Con 2014: 'Ant-Man' Loses Patrick Wilson and More From Cast
Just when it seemed that Marvel's 'Ant-Man' was getting back on track after all that Edgar Wright-exiting and replacement director-searching, it appears that the Peyton Reed production has been hit with another major setback. Deadline reports that Patrick Wilson, Matt Gerald, and Kevin Weisman have all dropped out of the film, scheduled to go into production later this year. With Marvel set to hit Hall H tomorrow for one of their always-impressive Comic-Con presentations, it sure sounds like the 'Ant-Man' table will be unexpectedly undermanned.
Comic-Con 2014: 'Game of Thrones' Debuts a Funny and Foul-Mouthed Blooper Reel
HBO's smash hit 'Game of Thrones' might make for some very serious television, what with all that blood and death and battling and poisoning and dirty political machinations, but that doesn't mean that the series is without its own special humor, even if it not all of it makes its way into the final product. Turns out, when it comes time to film the small screen version of the beloved George R.R. Martin book series, even 'Game of Thrones' can't get away from tongue-twisting misread lines, a few unplanned pratfalls, and some unexpected getting down.
Comic-Con 2014: Could Maisie Williams Star in 'The Last of Us' Movie?
In a surprise move, this year's Screen Gems Comic-Con panel turned most of its attentions and energies to a film without a cast, a director, or a script in place: the long-teased 'The Last of Us' feature film. The film was officially announced back in March, and producer Sam Raimi and video game creator Neil Druckmann (who is now officially on board to write the script for the film) popped up at this afternoon's panel to talk about the feature film as part of Screen Gems' future-leaning panel.
'Doctor Who' Season 8 Will Premiere on the Big Screen
Earlier this month, 'Doctor Who' showrunner Steven Moffat teased a "big introduction" and a "dynamic" hour of television for the series' eighth season premiere, and nothing says "big" and "dynamic" quite like a giant viewing on a massive screen. The BBC has just announced that they are indeed going literal with Moffat's promise: the new season premiere will bow on a big screen near you.
Morgan Freeman Tells Jimmy Fallon About His Dangerous New Hobby
Beloved actor Morgan Freeman has apparently found a strange new way to help him wind down after a long shoot or two -- while some people take up crafting in the later years, or perhaps get into vintage cars, maybe even fill their vacation time with cruises to exotic locales, Freeman is into something just a little bit different. Bees. He's a beekeeper now. "Morgan Freeman, Beekeeper." They like him. He likes them. Sounds pretty sweet, right?
Even Dwayne Johnson Doesn't Want to Watch This Clip From 'Hercules'
You know the drill by now: a big star hits up a late night talk show to chat, laugh, maybe play a game, plug their latest project, and show a clip.

Yemen: Police chief shot dead
Tensions continue to grow in Yemen. On Thursday, a police chief was shot dead during a protest in the south marking the 47th anniversary of the launch of its uprising against British colonial rule, a security official said. Abdullah al-Baham was shot in the head in Mudia in Abyan province during clashes between armed demonstrators and security forces who were trying to disperse them, the official was quoted as saying by AFP.
The security official blamed the shooting on supporters of the Southern Movement. But Movement official Abbas al-Assal dismissed the claim, saying it was committed by a masked man "who belongs to Al-Qaeda." Assal slammed security forces of "firing on peaceful protesters," adding: "We are peaceful and reject violence."

Sometime this summer, junior defensive end Naim Mustafaa of Alpharetta (Ga.) is likely to pick a college. Right now, the 6-feet-4, 235-pounder has three teams on top.
"My early favorites are Auburn, Georgia and Georgia Tech," Mustafaa told Rivals.com on Tuesday. "But I'm still keeping my options open and taking visits."
Mustafaa has been to each of his three top schools in 2012, along with Alabama.
Article Continues Below
"I really enjoyed those visits, and just the one-on-one time with the coaches - the defensive coordinators," he said.
What does Mustafaa like most about Auburn, Georgia and Georgia Tech?
Auburn: "I got a good vibe when I sat down and talked to the d. line coach [Mike Pelton]. I like what he sees me as in the future. In the classic 4-3, I can be a DE that gets after the quarterback."
Georgia: "With UGA I definitely like their fan support. I like their 3-4 defense. They want me at that outside linebacker position. I like that and I like coach [Rodney] Garner, the d. line coach. He's pretty cool."
Georgia Tech: "With Tech, it's definitely the academics. What I got from their coaches and all the players is that they really stress academics. It's not all about football. They really care about you getting an education."
According to Mustafaa, he plans to visit all three of his top schools again this spring to watch them practice. He also will attend the spring game at Oklahoma State.
"[Cowboys] Coach [Mike] Gundy came to my school a few months ago, and they offered me," Mustafaa said. "I told them I've always been interested in the Big 12. I'm going to take those visits just to get to chill with the players a lot and see how that goes."
All told, Mustafaa has 18 offers. Louisville was the most recent to offer, doing so last week. Middle Tennessee was the first. That offer came last October.
"It's still kind of a shock," Mustafaa said. "It motivates me to just keep working hard."

If you've read any pop music rags in the past year, you probably came across some variation of the following: "Pete Doherty, singer of the British rock band Babyshambles, was arrested again for [fill in the blank]." Hard drugs. Stolen cars. Most recently, an arrest on February 27 for both that will probably, finally lead to jail time. And to think just two years ago, this guy had it all the band (Libertines), the producer (the Clash's Mick Jones), and the girl (Kate Moss). To make things worse, now there's a rumor circling the Internet (no shit!) claiming that Doherty is not, well, Doherty.
According to the anonymous article, the train wreck we call Pete Doherty is a Buddy Holly impersonator named Trevor McDermott hand-picked to take part in a hoax to prove that Brits will celebrate any "trampy arsed buffoon" if he's in the tabloids. Of course, it's only a silly web rumor. Or is it? Reinvention is an integral part of British rock music. Just look at David "Ch-Ch-Changes" Bowie or John "I'm a Celebrity" Lydon. Hell, even a fake Brit like Madonna named her last tour "Reinvention." But for every public transformation of a British rock star, there are many more kept secret. Here are just a few.
Kaiser Chiefs You know them as the four mod-punks behind "I Predict a Riot." What you don't know is that the band was originally called the Kaiser Chefs and was just that, hosts of a British cooking show about sandwiches. The program aired only a few times before a particular episode, titled "Oi! Not Soi" infuriated local PETA activists, who protested outside the studio. When the studio producer heard a frazzled Ricky Wilson repeatedly muttering, "I predict a riot/I predict a riot," a band was born.
Pete Doherty
Arctic Monkeys These fresh-faced young lads claim to be natives of Sheffield. Strange Sheffield's in England, not Greenland, where the boys really were born. And though the band's name offers a hint of its true family history, its official bio completely ignores the truth. So we'll come out and say it: The Arctic Monkeys are the love children of a particularly well-received Monkees reunion concert in Nuuk, circa 1985. We'll let you figure out which Monkee fathered which Monkey.
Gary Glitter Proving he could outdo his 1999 conviction for kiddie porn, the '70s glam-pop icon got re-busted this year for actually doing the deed. On March 2, a Vietnamese court found him guilty of doing naughty things to a couple of preteen girls. At this point, no one's too surprised. What is shocking, though, is this little (actually true) tidbit from Glitter's past: He had a wife and kids. Now all he's got is three years of Viet Dong to look forward to.
Mick Jones One of Doherty's greatest selling points was hooking up with the former Clash member. But while Jones appeared with Doherty in photos and interviews, there's a different story behind the scenes. Sure, there's a guy named Mick Jones doing the knob-turning, but it's not the guy who wrote "Should I Stay or Should I Go"... more like "Feels Like the First Time." Yep, that Babyshambles album you love was produced by Mick Jones, the guitarist from Foreigner. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Just make sure Doherty's not around. Jason Budjinski
Luck o' the Wordplay
When it comes to traditional Irish music, what's not to love? Sometimes it's reverent and beautiful; other times it's clearly penned under the influence. After a few St. Pat's pints, see if you can choose the correct lyrics to complete the verses to classic songs below.
1. I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me slumber
For I spent all me dough on the lassies movin' slow...
a. And in me pants is some lumber.
b. Now give me some ale in a tumbler.
c. Far across the Western Ocean I must wander.
d. Down all the streets, I'm a bumbler.
2. Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
Through the streets in my kilt I go
All the lassies cry, "Hello!
Donald, where's your..."
a. package?"
b. pint?"
c. trousers?"
d. sister?"
3. Too ra loo ra loo, too ra loo ra lay,
too ra loo ra loo, too ra loo ra lay
Upon his knee a pretty wench...
a. La-roo lee-loo o-la-di-day.
b. Come on, Eileen.
c. He's kind of drunk and wants some lunch.
d. And on the table a jug of punch.
4. I wrote my love letters in rosy red lines,
She sent me an answer all twisted and twined;
Saying, "Keep your love letters and I will keep mine...
a. Love, schmov, now let's have some wine."
b. Just you write to your love and I'll write to mine."
c. I'll IM you later when I go online."
d. But I just realized I prefer chicks."
5. Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She's the sweetest face and the gentlest hands...
a. With which to pound some black and tans.
b. I love the ground whereon she stands.
c. So why the Adam's apple, just like a man's?
d. I wish our families weren't rival clans.
1. C ("All For Me Grog")
2. C ("Donald, Where's Your Trousers?)
3. D ("Jug Of Punch")
4. B ("Green Grow the Lilacs")
5. B ("Black Is the Colour")

Half a World Away
R.E.M. is well-known for doing charity work and supporting political causes, so it's no surprise that vocalist Michael Stipe jumped in to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The 46-year-old covered "In the Sun" (a gentle song originally performed by moody folkie Joseph Arthur, an opener on R.E.M.'s 2004 U.S. tour) six different ways and released the EP via iTunes last month. (Versions include a solo rendition, a duet with Coldplay's Chris Martin, a collaboration with Arthur himself, and even a remix by Justin Timberlake and Black Eyed Pea will.i.am.) On the eve of the release of the mini-album, Outtakes participated in a conference call with an obviously sobered Stipe, who had friends affected by the disaster and was haunted by what he saw when he visited the beloved city.

B-Sides: How has this devastation affected the way you create?
Michael Stipe: I only have one song written since then, "I Have Seen Trouble," if that indicates [that] it might have had a profound effect on me as an artist and a songwriter. I read all the articles in all the newspapers. I was watching and listening and absorbing through the same media channels that everyone in this call was. Seeing it firsthand radically changes you, you really can't imagine how bad it is.
Five months later, it's still a disaster. The scale of it is monumental. I thought I had answers and solutions. We all have moments of arrogance. Seeing it firsthand, I recognized that it's a much more complicated situation than I imagined. The thing I would like to stress is that there are people now five months after the disaster who are still profoundly in need. We don't need to forget that as Americans, this is our time, this is our story. And how we respond to this is something that will be with us for the rest of our lives.
New Orleans, for me, is a place that's always had a mystery, a beauty to it that is unparalleled in this country and worldwide. My band, we've kind of moved from city to city record by record. We realized early on that working in the city can bring a certain flavor, a certain nuance. New Orleans is one of the few places we've returned to record again. Annie Zaleski

I saw here and I thought she was walking down, that's why I saw he was climbing
did you notice the girl with a mini skirt and high heeled boots? Guess not :-)
And if you ask me, he climbs against the bridge.

That is a fascinating puzzle, Starlord. I wonder how he balances all that weight!

While it's no big surprise Samsung elected to not take the wraps off its next big thing, the Galaxy S5, during last week's CES event, were February's MWC to come and go without as much as an S5 cameo, we would all be left scratching our heads in disbelief.
Yet we have a fairly well-known Italy-based freelance journalist suggesting that's exactly how things will go down. Flavio Pic (aka @flapic) says a "reliable source" has confirmed Samsung is to hold a special press event in London in mid-March to introduce the S5 to the world.
That certainly fits the pattern of recent glitzy Galaxy announcements, however a pre-MWC intro has been in the cards for months, being allegedly confirmed by a Samsung exec not long ago. Of course, we never actually heard Dong-hoon Chang utter the words "S5" and "February", so the story might have been a fabrication.
It's also not out of the question Chang intentionally threw us off the high-ender's scent, though I wouldn't necessarily take a freelance journalist's word, especially based on a confidential source, for granted. In any case, we'll be keeping an eye out for further developments, so stay tuned.

Set Up A Long Term Food Storage System With Our Help
You are searching for long term food storage and you need the best keeping, the most hassle free, and the most delicious survival foods which are freeze-dried foods. The company we work with has many years of experience and helps you with long term food storage of various kinds of survival foods and not just one kind of food. It gets awfully boring to your taste buds to eat one kind of food at every meal for years and never experience the pleasure of just adding water and then eating various kinds of delicious freeze-dried foods at each meal that you wisely had stored away.
Having long term food storage guidelines that are nothing more than a list of the various kinds of freeze dried foods you should supply for your home is especially important now in light of the rising costs of food and the possibility that food may become unaffordable for the average person in the near future. Crashing currencies and economies around the globe make home food storage of freeze dry foods one of the most important things you can do now. You can not feed yourself with worthless money that may someday soon be so worthless that it will take a wheelbarrow full just to buy a loaf of bread. That happened during Germany's Wiemar Republic and modern countries who are now on a money printing spree are now on the same economic track as that republic was. It is not worth delaying your purchase now and then watching food costs sky rocket to unimaginable levels.
If you arrived on this site already convinced of the wisdom of planning ahead and you think that having food stored up is more important than having gold and silver then you need not read any further, but instead look around this site for everything that you need because we have set up this site to make available the best in long term food storage methods, survival supplies, list of foods, long term food storage containers, and information. But if you still need some convincing of the need for setting up your family or just yourself with emergency food storage then please take a look at the National Inflation Association web site and you will see how the cost of food is guaranteed to catapult upwards to record breaking levels in the future.
Undergirded with assurance from the knowledge that past history of inflationary trends gives to us, there is no need for you to wait for divine revelation that directs you to store up food to protect the lives of your family. It is a no brainer. By the way, it was divine revelation which undergirded the largest long term food storage program in the world which took place during the time of Joseph son of Jacob as told in the Hebrew scriptures. He interpreted Pharaoh's dream that told of seven years of famine, but it took them seven years prior to that to save up the food needed for the seven years of food shortage. We do not have that same window of time length. Moreover, not everyone lives in a dry region like Egypt which helped the Egyptians with long term food storage. The only way you can create a really safe dry atmosphere to store your food is to have flash frozen freeze-dried food. You can store a year's supply right under your bed and when you add water it tastes great and has all the nutrition intact.
It is important and urgent that people everywhere in the world now trade some of their national currency before it loses more of its value and exchange it for freeze dried food. Dehydrated meals, mres for sale, and other emergency long-term food storage home survival supplies and containers come second since freeze dryed foods are all you really need. You need to make your long term food storage list of survival foods that are freeze dried from the information and contacts you get from our web site. Some of you live in humid areas so your food will not keep like it did in graneries in dry Egypt that were not air tight. You need to accumulate freeze dried foods and plenty of them as your first line of defense. Then if you want to add more to your program you can get air-tight containers, flash frozen food, dehydrated meals, mres and other supplies such as food pallets, and Gamma Lids which convert plastic buckets or plastic pails into a system of unique airtight home food storage containers.

No government official in any country should interpret this website as being subversive, but rather you should be overjoyed that the citizens of your country and you also now have access to foods that you need to protect the lives of yourself and your family. You should rejoice and be grateful for what is made available to you on this website.

+bszhang: using "--text=yes" instead of "--text yes" will work.
Very useful, but recently all of the documentation has disappeared from the page linked and basically everywhere else. Would love to have the documentation and some instructions added in the package.
Very useful!
I have a question and would like to ask for your help. Since I checked online, there are few answers about this problem.I don't know why. I follow Moses steps to train irst language model and these are my steps: # language model built on target language. ~/irstlm/bin/add-start-end.sh < /media/Data/Mose/test/raw10k.en > raw10k.sb.en export IRSTLM=$HOME/irstlm; ~/irstlm/bin/build-lm.sh -i raw10k.sb.en -o raw10k.lm.en -n 3 ~/irstlm/bin/compile-lm --text yes raw10k.lm.en.gz raw10k.fr-en.arpa.en Then, the last line command told me that too many arguments. I checked compile-lm command and there is --text options, and no format problem I think. I also tried search online, but few people met with this problem. The default of --text is no, but if I omit --text yes, I can not run the last step "~/mosesdecoder/bin/build_binary raw10k.fr-en.arpa.en raw10k.fr-en.blm.en". Did I do something wrong? I am really confusing. Thank you very much for the help!

You can have the team members sign the back of the clock. We can put the team name on the front if you want or a team logo etc.

We love our fun "grungy" baseball clock but wanted to add this clean/new baseball clock to our sports collection as well. Check out my other baseball clock designs too. This is available in many sizes. We can add your name or logo to the clock.
- Description
- Additional Information
Product Description
VARIETY OF SIZES: One of the most unique things about our company is that we have wall clocks to fit any space. If you need a small 10" clock, we have it. If you need a 5 foot clock, we have that too (and lots of sizes in between. Here is a list of our open faced clock sizes: 10", 12", 15", 18", 24", 30", 36", 48", and 60")!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE: We have nine wall clock sizes to choose from…in order to choose the right size, PLEASE make a newspaper cut out of the size you think you need. Cut it into a circle or square (depending on which you want to order) and tape the paper to your wall where you want to place it. This will give you a visual of how it will look.
COST: We realize our clocks cost more than the ones you can get at the big box stores. The main reason is that these clocks are not mass produced. We make our time pieces one at a time specifically for you and your space. Let's say you need a 36" spice orange clock. Something so specific may be the perfect piece to set off your dining room, but it is not something the general population needs. So, you can't find it anywhere else besides our website. Making "one-offs" is not very cost effective for us, but we do it because we want to offer a huge selection, and making them "on demand" is the best way to accomplish that.
CLOCK FACES: Our faces are mostly printed. Some are photographs of antique clocks we LOVED. They look amazing, but they are PRINTED. I have an artist that will paint a clock by hand, but it will take 3 months and cost $1500 for a 30".
CLOCK BACKS: Our clock backs are made of MDF (medium density fiberboard). MDF is a smooth engineered wood that does not warp and provides a great backdrop for our clocks. Many manufacturers choose to use a thinner material—1/8 inch or ¼ inch MDF wood. Instead, we have chosen to spend the extra money to use a thicker ½ inch material. It just FEELS like quality—not light flimsy wood. It is hefty and hearty.
MECHANISMS: Our mechanisms are quarts, high torque and most are quiet, sweep mechanisms (meaning they don't have a ticking sound). It is important to us that you have a clock that will last a lifetime. Because of this, we offer a lifetime warranty of your mechanism. If it breaks within 3 years, we will send you a new mechanism at no cost. After three years, you will pay shipping and handling.
CLOCK HANDS: Our clock hands are light weight. They are NOT heavy duty metal. It is NOT because we are trying to be chintzy. Clock hands, especially on the large wall clocks, MUST be light weight or the mechanism could not run them. The battery would die every few months. The next stronger mechanism choice is what is called a tower clock. Tower clocks have HUGE mechanisms that are 12" x 12" x 6". Not only are the huge, they cost thousands of dollars. Please understand that your light hands are light for a reason.
CUSTOMIZATION: We have the largest selection of custom wall clocks in the world. This wall clock, like most of our clocks can be customized. Not only can you add a name, date, logo, favorite saying, you can also choose between roman numerals and regular numbers.

Sure saving babies and stopping a gunman is nice, but what really matters is voting for more free stuff. Voting for Obama is the highest form of heroism there is.
Not many people have focused in on the insanely arrogant conclusion to Obama's whopper of a speech which compared a woman who waited on line to cast her vote for him, with a wounded police war and a woman who looked after newborns during Hurricane Sandy.
We were sent here to look out for our fellow Americans the same way they look out for one another, every single day, usually without fanfare, all across this country. We should follow their example.
We should follow the example of a New York City nurse named Menchu Sanchez. When Hurricane Sandy plunged her hospital into darkness, she wasn't thinking about how her own home was faring. Her mind was on the 20 precious newborns in her care and the rescue plan she devised that kept them all safe.
We should follow the example of a North Miami woman named Desiline Victor. When Desiline arrived at her polling place, she was told the wait to vote might be six hours. And as time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say.
We should follow her example, apparently, by voting for Obama.
We should follow the example of a police officer named Brian Murphy. When a gunman opened fire on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, Brian was the first to arrive, and he did not consider his own safety. He fought back until help arrived and ordered his fellow officers to protect the safety of the fellow Americans worshiping inside, even as he lay bleeding from 12 bullet wounds.
Voting for Obama is the highest form of heroism there is. It's apparently appropriate to place that story among two other stories of actual heroism.
In Obama's America, waiting on line for hours is the new heroism. But waiting on line is the essential activity of a bureaucratic Socialist state. The willingness to wait on line is the only way to make the government give you things.
Sure saving babies and stopping a gunman is nice, but what really matters is voting for more free stuff. And waiting on line is fine for unimportant things, like waiting to see a doctor, but not for importing things, like voting for Obama.
Should we actually follow the example of Desiline Victor, a Haitian woman who doesn't speak English?
"I'm very happy, very proud," she said, communicating through a translator because she speaks only Haitian Creole. The translator is her godson, Mathieu Pierre Louis, whom she raised as her son. She moved to the United States in 1989 and became a naturalized citizen in 2005.
So we're talking about a woman who doesn't speak English and moved here at the age of 79 but still manages to vote in order to keep on milking the system?
Is there some moral heroism in ripping off a country that you have never worked in and whose language you have never even learned?
Is there some heroism in voting when you don't even speak the language and don't actually qualify for citizenship?
During his address, Obama cited Victor as an example worth following, saying she was concerned about "whether folks like her would get to have their say."
The folks like her have been getting their say. The problem is that the folks who subsidize folks like her, haven't.
What has Desiline Victor contributed to America? Well she voted for Obama, didn't she? So I would say that she contributed to her share to running of the national debt of the country, without contributing anything to increasing its prosperity.

The number of major cellists who devote entire programs to the six unaccompanied Bach cello suites cannot be much higher than the number of works in the canon. These are considered difficult works for both performers and listeners, although it must be said that the pedantic kind of reading that some modern cellists bring to these scores has done little to offset their reputation for being dry, intellectual exercises of more theoretical than practical interest.
Heinrich Schiff, who devoted his recital Wednesday night in Orchestra Hall to three of the suites, is well prepared to argue convincingly on behalf of this music as music. He is a modern musician, and he performs Bach on a modern instrument. He makes, in other words, no half-hearted stabs at
