Photographer's Note
I didnt quite get away without being caught while taking this picture, but I came close. Wandering through the streets of Eze I stumbled upon these two friends who had apparently decided to stop and take a break during their tour of the village.
Since we were the only ones occupying this particular corner, there was nowhere for me to hide my intentions of taking their picture. So, we played a little game of cat and mouse I pretended to focus on something else so that their conversation would resume naturally, but each time I pointed my lens in their direction I immediately got the staredown.
This went on for probably close to ten minutes before I finally gave in, quickly turned and snapped the shutter without worrying about the reaction and I ended up with what appears to be a curiously annoyed expression. Oh so close, but I still consider it a win! :)
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Jason,
Oh, I know just what you mean about the 'cat and mouse' game! I have played the game too but am not determined enough to keep it going for 10 mins! Usually a few attempts and I smile sweetly and back off.
The setting is deliciously textured in so many ways and, where else, in a quiet backwater, would you get a red carpet to lead to your focal characters. A quiet tete-a-tete would have added mystery to your shot but, heck, you did your best!
Beautifully composed!
Have a great Sunday,
Bev :-)

Hello JayCee
send us some of your warm weather old chap, it's bleeding freezing here! Autumn is knocking firmly, and too early, on the door and I am trying hard not to let her in ..
Pap-pap-paparazzi springs to mind when I look at this - the Feeenix stalker strikes again eh? It makes for a compelling and strangely intriguing shot. I love the guy on the lefts expression and his quizzical look at you, it makes this image all the more fascinating. It is a beautiful little corner and I can understand you wanting to get an image of it. The red path invites us in and this crop is perfectly balanced too with all the elements naturally placed. Without the two strangers sitting on the steps it would not have the same impact though - so - well done!
One wonders what they would think if they saw this shot of them plastered all over the internet.

Hi Jason!
Lovely and charming place!
Beautiful and attractive picture!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, vertical format, slim black borders, chosen pov and composition are all excellent!
I also loved reading your note, because I have serious problems on taking people's pictures and had fun knowing all your "troubles" while shooting this one here! LOL
TFS - congrats,
Enjoy your Sunday,

Hello Jason,
I really like the story behind this photo as well as the expression on the face of the man on the left. The old stone walls, the many small trees and the red path all create a great frame for two men. Well seen, a photo worth waiting for.
No_One (4) 2014-08-17 7:00
Hi Jason,
Your note has made me laugh, the expression on this guys face is priceless, he looks so annoyed, but as your importantly say, you won and that's all that matters. To be fair, he should not really be surprised to be in a photo. If somebody is going to sit in a scenic place, they sold expect people will take photos. It's like me dangling out of the statue of libertys nose on a rope and being annoyed when tourists start snapping away. There is a great selection of colors through the scene, and the red stone on the pavement adds a great vibrancy. The yellow lantern is cool too.
Have a good Sunday

Bonjour Jason,
Ce qu'il faut comprendre en admirant cette photo, c'est que les Français apprécient plus la vie que nous et surtout qu'ils prennent le temps. Le cadrage est excellent dans ce décor magnifique.
Bon dimanche

Hello Jason,
In a way the note is funnier than the picture. I recognize so much from your description of pretending to be aiming the camera somewhere else - but for almost 10 minutes, OMG!
The picture shows an extremely nice corner of the village. The red tiles make it look very inviting, and so do the pots and plants and the lamps etc. It's definitely a place worth a photo, but it needed human presence. I think it was the moral duty of those two persons to be parts of your composition, so they shouldn't look so annoyed. Now they're on TE, getting their day of global fame.
Enjoy the upcoming week.
ourania (51103) 2014-08-17 8:55
Hello Jason,
this picturesque corner is wonderful, the architecture and the textures are so attractive and I like how you filled a vertical frame with them. Even from the thumbnail I loved the soft, diffused light and the fine, subdued colours that give to the setting a very agreeable feeling of intimacy -until you broke it:) It is a superb scene, I think the red path is such an accomplice. It doesn't feel like you 'd been standing there for ten minutes but that you followed the red path, turned around the corner and discovered them:) Their different reactions to the same challenge are a superb part of the story. If they ever reach you, show them our comments of appreciation, that's what I'm going to do, if necessary, with the heroes of my latest picture":) Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,

Hi again, Jason,
Funny story about "a little game of cat and mouse". LOL!
yeah, sometime I've use this cheap trick too ;)
Good result of your photo hunting, excellent photo, good presentation of the old back yard in South France.
Best wishes,

danos (105276) 2014-08-18 4:18
Hi Jason.
a really charmy and beautiful sit down corner with the red decoration of the yard to makes the image even more effective.The two men adds life in the scene with the lot of the pots and jar with the flowers to make the image even more effective.
ikeharel (85022) 2014-08-18 7:31
Hi Jason,
Reading your note, one might think you had commited a sin... but all you did is captured the nice moment where the two guys set, and added vivid scale to the old-alley scenery.
I don't think you had to run away... nice outcome of a special corner with a number of interesting elements.

Hi Jason!
Sometimes it's not easy at all:)! This really seems a nice corner, with so many nice details and his surprised face is priceless:)! I guess they were wondering why you wanted so much to take their photo:)! A very nice composition!

Hello Jason,
Welcome back! Were you in Russia? It's nice to have you back. The environment in which these gentlemen are sitting is like from a movie set, it is enchanted! I wonder why people in touristic places get annoyed at their pictures being taken.

Last week, Vatican representative, Msgr. Renato Volante urged members of the 33rd General United Nations Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to guarantee adequate food supplies and security, particularly for the world's poor.
The conference was held from November 19th to 26th at the U.N.'s Rome headquarters.
In his November 22nd address, Msgr. Volante, who headed the Holy See delegation, expressed his conviction that "food security remains the fruit of action inspired by a strong solidarity," not of action that is "limited to forms of assistance or to interventions that, despite being well organized, often fail to achieve their intended goals."
He stressed that guaranteeing adequate food supplies, "is an essential component of that right to development intrinsic to each individual, people and nation, proclaimed by the international community but often overlooked, ... as the information presented to this conference shows."
Further, he told the group that "guaranteeing access to agricultural and food resources, is an important way to eliminate poverty and, hence, to put planned strategies into effect."
"It is the heartfelt wish of the Holy See delegation", Msgr. Volante said, "that support be given to the activities and practices of rural populations (in which the importance of the family cannot be overstressed)."
He said that "They constitute the basic economic foundation for most developing countries where monocultures and forest and marine resources represent an essential - and, unfortunately, at times unique - means of survival."
On this note, he called for the upcoming U.N. conference on agrarian reform and rural development, due to be held in Brazil in March 2006, to "give 'voice' and support to those people who daily practice small-scale agriculture."
The Monsignor concluded his speech referring to the "notable importance for the development of food and agriculture" of "questions concerning the trade in agricultural, forest and fisheries products."

Game 5 resuming as instant cliffhanger
Sixth-inning stretch leads to must-see history
By Dinn Mann / MLB.com
As Benjamin Franklin said: "Applause waits on success."
Every pitch -- starting with the 188th of the game -- will be magnified. Every swing. The whole World Series hangs in the balance.
Philadelphia and Tampa Bay are tied in this unforgettable Game 5, 2-2, and fans will settle into their sections for the resumption of possibly the most significant sporting event in the lives of every player on the field.
It is accidental drama, to an extent, the result of forces of nature so unusual that all of us have landed at this unprecedented place.
The game, officially, is on. It presumably will be a beginning like no other. Tonight, there will be no National Anthem. Instead, they are going with "God Bless America" before the game resumes, sung by the same representative of the Armed Services who was scheduled for Monday's seventh-inning stretch. But will the lineups be introduced as if it's the start of a full game? Will there be a first pitch or other pregame ceremonies?
There is no blueprint to follow. This is no September continuation of a suspended game, one in which the start almost happens like elevator music. This is a cliffhanger that determines whether the Phillies win the World Series for the second time in franchise history and for the first time since 1980.
This is a cliffhanger that determines whether the Rays, down 3-1 in the best-of-seven Series, extend the Fall Classic by sending it back to St. Petersburg, indoors, where all those clanging cowbells await, a herd to be heard if Tampa Bay survives this bone-chilling battle of bullpens.
One important thing to remember is, we enter this movie in its most important scenes, knowing all the twists and plotlines that led to the climactic final third. You know the drill, it's so riveting you cover your eyes and can't help looking through the intended gaps between the fingers.
Whether you are disappointed or understanding with the way Monday night's first 39 steps/outs unfolded, this game is what it is. It is a fact. Everybody is looking at the same map known as baseball: You are here.
Monday, sure, the game could have been called before five innings, and we'd be starting from scratch. But Philly still wouldn't have Cole Hamels.
They could have called it after five innings, and we'd be left with a resumed game that conspiracy theorists would vent could have been a 2-1 rain-shortened final followed by a trophy presentation to the Phillies on a back-door technicality. We all know that wasn't going to happen, and so did both teams' managers and front offices.
They could have not started Game 5 at all, and you'd have Tampa Bay pitching, say, true ace James Shields instead of Scott Kazmir against Hamels tonight. And guess what? People who are prone to be mad on both sides would be mad. Jimmy Rollins got hit by the pitch. Cole Hamels balked. Wah, wah, wah.
Speculation in hindsight is an irrational yet you-have-every-right pastime. In passing the time during this Sixth Inning Stretch, the mother of all in-game breaks, that same looking back has made what's ahead even more intensely interesting.
Going forward, moaning, besides, does not set the vibe of victory. Never has. Get over it. The teams have.
To quote favorite son Franklin once again:
"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain, and most fools do."
Excitement is on deck. Bottom line. The top of the sixth ended late Monday night. It turns back on, at full power, in prime time, two nights later. Babies have been born, new cars purchased, people have accepted new jobs, life has gone on. The World Series has stood still.
We have something in front of us, and behind us, that is, to borrow a word from Will Ferrell: ginormous. (OK, so let the record show he's not Benjamin Franklin.)
The sky was the limit on Monday night. When Game 5 picks up, the stars will have aligned in a way that makes this a turn-key thriller.
We have two magnificent managers, two extraordinarily hungry teams, a Rocky and a Cinderella, and we have fan bases that are emphatically engaged.
In a city where adults are charged $2 to see Mr. Franklin's final resting place, near the Betsy Ross House, down the way from the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center and so much more, World Series history takes its place, with the potential for a statue of some sort to come of it, then a parade. Unless ...
It is unscriptable theater. Will Philadelphia fans be as into it from the get-go as they would be if it were the bottom of the sixth, score tied, in an uninterrupted Game 5? Hard to say, but one would think yes, if not more.
That's because there has been time for the passion to grow, for the context to sink in, for the added anxiety.
Pull up a chair, not that many in Citizens Bank Park will be seated. They'll opt to stand as if every pitch is being delivered on a full count. There's no time to pace yourselves, fans of both teams, or fans of the sport generally.
It's on. Go time. You want a piece of me?
This is the Fall Classic. Tampa Bay's offense has nine outs to play with. Philadelphia has a dozen. The pitching staffs and hitters have to navigate constantly crucial situations. The defenses will be under the microscope. All of this, fittingly, is happening on a night when every breath will be visible in the historic Philly air.
Those white towels will be waving. They do not signify surrender. Quite the opposite. They may, instead, represent wings. Tonight, Game 5 takes flight, like a rocket.
It's the bottom of the sixth, and for roughly an hour and a half, postseason baseball is poised to be on top of the world.
You are cordially invited to follow this bit of wisdom from Mr. Franklin as October 2008 ticks to its close, whatever direction it inspires: "Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

If you've followed news media recently you may have noticed a fierce debate about the safety and efficacy of childhood vaccines. The fact is that vaccines are one of the most successful and cost effective public health initiatives we've seen in the last few decades. We've progressed from a time not long ago when one in 3,000 children died from measles and another 20,000 children were killed or permanently disfigured from polio, to a time when most people and even many physicians have not seen a case of measles or polio. Vaccines are safe, well tested, and they work. The immunizations help protect not only the vaccinated person, but also the surrounding community by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious disease.
Unfortunately, bad science and sensational yet factually inaccurate media hype has combined to create a disastrous push-back against routine vaccination. The result of which is a tragic decline in immunization rates across the world and a recurrence in the number of preventable childhood illnesses and deaths. As examples, the resurgence of measles in the late 80s early 90s resulted in over 55,000 reported cases, 11,000 plus hospitalizations and 166 deaths. A recent outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) in California effected close to 10,000 cases in little over a year, and resulted in 10 deaths - all in infants less than three months of age. Despite the outbreaks of preventable illness, and the publication of multiple studies conducted in developed countries all around the world that have again and again proven the safety of vaccines and that there is no link between vaccines and autism, we unfortunately continue to see a significant number of parents, whom either - out of misinformation or fear - delay or decline vaccinations.
The stakes are high. The risk of non-immunization is increasing as fewer children are immunized and there is less immunity in our population and therefore more likelihood to spread these diseases - many of which have no cure or treatment. Those at highest risk are our infants who are too young to be fully immunized or those who have serious medical problems that prevent them from being vaccinated. If you wait until your child steps on the rusty nail or your child is exposed to measles, it is too late. The science establishing the safety and efficacy of vaccines is strong and sound. The risk of not immunizing is too great. Together we can continue to prevent and, if we're lucky, keep our children healthy, and get close to the goal of eradicating these diseases from our communities.

Can the 2011 Buffalo Bills Break The Buffalo Sports Curse?
Buffalo Bills football fans are enjoying one of the most promising season starts in recent memory. But will the Bills have enough gas in the tank to finish the season strong and find the success to finally break the Buffalo Sports Curse?
You did know that Buffalo was a cursed sports town, didn't you?
There are several legendarily unlucky sports towns like San Diego and Cleveland. Similar to those cities, Buffalo's major pro sports franchises have had no luck brining home a championship: no Superbowl rings for the Bills, Lord Stanley's Cup has never belonged to the Sabers and during their near-decade existence in Buffalo, the Braves never brought home an NBA championship.
The roots of the Buffalo Sports Curse date back to the 1921. The Buffalo All-Americans finished the season undefeated 9-0-2 and should have been the champions of the NFL that year. The Chicago Staleys (soon to be known as the Bears) were in second place with one loss. The Chicago team challenged Buffalo to what they said would be a post-season exhibition game. Chicago won that game 10-7 then went on to play 2 more games. The improved Staleys record plus the win over Buffalo in the 'exhibition' game gave Chicago the league championship.
Proponents of the Buffalo Sports Curse maintain it was this Chicago Swindle that lead to the curse on Buffalo's subsequent sports teams.

Premise: Shows about celebrities or fashion are always popular. So a show about celebrity fashion can't miss, right? That's what ``Fashion District'' is, a show about celebrity fashion. Each episode, the panel of experts -- which includes magazine editors, bloggers and stylists -- comments on what stars are wearing. They also provide viewers with advice about what to wear ... and what not to wear. And although it airs on Country Music Television, the show doesn't focus exclusively on country music stars. Celebrities of all kinds are put into the panel's cross hairs.

More Rumors Surface About Samsung Galaxy Tab Pricing
Rumors are swirling about pricing and release date for the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab, but the company has yet to confirm much beyond the Nov. 1 U.K. launch.
The latest rumors come courtesy of Tmo news, which reported that T-Mobile will offer the tablet for $649.99 without a contract or $399 with a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. The rumor is based on a leaked ad that Tmo believed to be from a T-Mobile dealer.
The T-Mobile report follows similar pricing rumors from Boy Genius post. According to the blog, the Sprint version of the Tab will go on sale around Nov. 14 for $399 with a contract. The non-contract version was priced $50 less, however, at $599.
The Android-based device will be available on all four major U.S. carriers, Samsung said last month. The question is, will this price point allow the tab to compete with the iPad? PCMag mobile analyst Sascha Segan spent some time with the device and said the Tab would likely do best priced at $299 plus $20 per month for data and no contract.

Ill grandmother plays role in decision to leave Terps
The departure of Maryland guard Pe'Shon Howard, who was granted his request to transfer by the school Monday, leaves the Terrapins without their starting point guard, without a senior rotation player and with no one left from the Gary Williams regime.
"I want to thank coach [Mark] Turgeon for allowing me to pursue the opportunity to complete my final season of college basketball at a university closer to home," Howard said in a school statement. "It was a very difficult decision because I really enjoyed my three years as a student-athlete at Maryland, but my grandmother is sick, and I feel it is best that I be closer to my family."
Howard's career in College Park was star-crossed and stormy. He missed the first month of his sophomore year with a foot injury and the final month with a torn ACL. In the offseason, he was arrested outside a College Park restaurant for disorderly conduct.
After an offseason of hard work and rehab on his surgically repaired knee, Howard entered this season in tremendous physical condition and as the starting point guard. In the first two months of the season, he was among the nation's leaders in assist to turnover ratio, but in the Terps' first three ACC games, he missed all 13 of his shots and his confidence wavered, according to Turgeon.
Howard was benched and later missed a road trip to Florida State with the flu and a win over Duke when he was suspended for an unspecified violation. After his reinstatement, Howard played well and regained his starting job. In seven games in the ACC tournament and NIT, Howard averaged 30.0 minutes, 4.3 points, 3.1 assists and 1.4 turnovers, drawing praise from Turgeon for his work as a defensive stopper.
Howard is the fifth and final player from Williams' final recruiting class to leave Maryland. Haukur Palsson and Terrell Stoglin are playing professionally in Europe, while Ashton Pankey (Manhattan) and Mychal Parker (NAIA's Georgetown College) transferred after one unhappy season under Turgeon.
With Howard gone, 6-foot-1 sophomore Seth Allen and 6-4 incoming freshman Roddy Peters likely will compete for the point guard job. Junior Nick Faust also has played the position.

For over 30 years Clemson University has been trashing the Earth with balloons. It all started back in 1983 with their record-breaking release of 363,729 balloons. Proud of their "accomplishment," they decided to make it a tradition to release balloons at every home football game, sending thousands of balloons to litter the world every time the players storm the field.
Over the years Clemson's mass littering events have drawn much concern. The links included reveal the great lengths this South Carolina university has gone to defend and justify their school sanctioned littering.
Back in 2006, after receiving complaints, the president of CU asked for a report from Central Spirit. The report he received the following year was laden with balloon industry propaganda NS recited the balloon industry's own bogus "study." The 5-page report was said to have squashed the "litter controversy" and their balloons "pose no threat to the environment." The administrative body approved the continuing release of the balloons.
In 2010, a group of Belton Elementary students proposed a bill to protect the state reptile: the loggerhead sea turtle. Some folks at Clemson were angered by the kids because the bill threatened to put an end to their celebratory pollution.
Then, the Creative Inquiry. Clemson would study distance traveled by balloons, their rate of degradation, the impact on animals from balloon consumption, and the public opinion of the balloon release.
Their 6-month study, completed in 2012, showed the balloons could travel hundreds of miles, they could take months to break down to a brittle stage and balloons submerged in water degraded more slowly, outlasting the study (the balloons in the river trial were lost after being "washed away"). Out of 5,600 tagged balloons, only 40 were found. 81% of the balloons retained their mass in large pieces, thus, "potentially posing a threat to wildlife." The public opinion poll revealed balloon releases during pre-game were of less value to sports patrons than other aspects of the game day event NS 42% believed latex balloon releases are dangerous for the environment.
Despite all the information from their very own study and after killing 20 quail hens, 20 catfish, 15 sliders (turtles, which still had balloon remnants bunched in their guts) it was shocking to find their conclusion was: "This study did not indicate an observable impact on wildlife or the environment from latex balloon releases…"
In 8 days, at the last game of the season, Clemson Athletics will commence with their mass littering events. We believe it is high time Clemson University stop contributing to this: Balloonsblow.org/photo-gallery

I am writing you from the land of the sick. As I told you last time, Anna was sick on Sunday. Well, it just got worse from there! She broke out in a rash on Tuesday and Daniel started running a fever Tuesday night. I took them to the doctor and Anna has strep and Daniel's lymph nodes are swollen and his throat is red and looks"streppy" the doctor said. So, we started Anna and Daniel on medicine Wednesday. About 3 hours later David started running a fever and so he also started medicine Wednesday. David & Daniel both got the rash yesterday and Samuel started running a temp and feeling bad Friday night. He played two ballgames and did great, but he really crashed after they were over. All of that and VBS starts tomorrow!!! So yesterday I was at the church for six hours working and Stephen was with the kids. We had a big tailgate party to kick-off VBS last night and none of my children were able to come. I hate it for them. I don't even think any of them are going to church today. Does anyone want to come to Star City and help me? I was really thinking we would be through all of this sickness, but I think going to the ballgame sent D&D into a relapse and just did Samuel in! Anna is doing good though-I think it is her orneriness kicking in!!! One of these days I will post and not be complaining
about something I promise. One day soon!!!
Love ya'll,

So today I was a victim of a random Blue Screen Of Death. I am really scared because this is a new PC.
I got the PC in January. I was getting BSOD's all the time because a driver for the printer was a major mess-up. Then when I was messing around with AppData (I wanted to do stuff for Minecraft) and I unhid the folder (sometime in March-April). After unhiding the folder, I was getting "Allway Sync" error bubbles on my task bar.
Now today, I was writing script for a comic I'm making, I had Facebook game turned on and I was listening to radio online. After I almost finished writing, my screen turned black for split-second and then I got scared when BSOD randomly appeared. Computer overheat or old hardware would definetly not be the cause because I can have HD games and over 100 tabs open at the same time and take all that lag and my PC is still new. I also yarrgh'd a game 2 days ago but I dont think this is the problem because I would be getting getting crashes since then.
PS: How to open .dmp files? I opened the error .dmp file in Notepad to check what caused BSOD, there was only random text, long space and "DBRM" or something like that in centre of the very bottom. (Don't have it anymore because it strangely self-deleted)

I got one earlier after installing some Windows Updates, nothing to actually worry about IMO unless it is consistent and happens when you do a certain thing.

Is this really a police lock or a hacker attacking me? Before I got locked, I was getting Java update errors and it was asking for permission to access a website that had "hacker" in the url. I denied and my screen refreshed for a second and then I was looking on Google "how to find out if my computer got hacked" and when I was looking, my screen went white and got a message.
Any tips?
No color this time because I'm typing on Xbox.
EDIT: It turns out that I was Ransomware victim. I successfuly got rid of it (I think) and it's not a problem anymore. Gonna need a Pop-Up blocker.

and sometimes I am for two I have
not said which I favor this year." Last
jear Mr. Padgett was a one battleship

Mr. Carusi said in part

the onslaught which was originally at

that mlsht have seemed to be Irregular

a perfectly legal right to demand, an
Investigation bj the District Commis
sioners liefore anj action could be taken.
But that was denied to them, and the
attempt was made to have the press of
this city strike down these companies In
such a way that whatever a subsequent
Investigation might have developed to

prostrate forever

"The offense of these companies was

Referring to the expense of organizing
the First National. Mr. Carusi said
"The expense of organizing that com
pany was 14 per cent or there
abouts, instead of 20, a ve-y much
lower expense than that of a very large
number of companies that are referred
to in the testimonv. companies organized
In different States This It per
cent was much less than those who un
dertook to raise this capital estimated it
might take and told the prospective In
vestor that It might take
It is true that that It per cent in
cludes 7 1-; per cent to the people who
undertook to do this great big Job, and
who did It. Nobody can saj that 7 1-5
per cent Is a large commission to pay
persons who will assemble JiOOOOtW

gage bonds of jour plant, jou will find
that thej have got to hive not less
than 7 1-1 per cent, or perhaps more,
for underwriting your bond Issue and
simply distributing jour bonds among
their clientele "
Referring to the literature of the First
National. Mr. Carusi said:
"This literature came In for some verv
severe, caustic, sarcastic comment from
Mr. Alfred M. Best tn his publication
There Is no doubt, of course, that that
literature has running through it a very
strong vein of optimism. One of the rea
sons it had that running through it is
because the people that wrote it felt a
confidence In their proposition.
Criticized Table Pahtirntln
One was the criticism of the publica
tion of a table of twcntj-lwo American
fire Insurance companies. All Mr. Best
aid was that a particularly profitable.
jear had been selected. Mr. Fitch testi
fied, and his testimony can be readily
corroborated bj anj one with a lead
pencil, a piece of paper, and the official
figures from which he compiled the
table, that it happened the year used
was the least profitable jear for those
companies ot four years.
"That literature was gone over by the
members of the organization committee
of tho First National Fire Insurance
Company. I have jet to hear arty man
who was willing to come Into this room
and sit down at that table and either
volunteer or saj- In response to a ques
tion that the men who composed that
organization committee of the First Na
tional Fire Insurance Company were not
as honorable men. ot as high standing
and as good reputation, as there are In
the District of Columbia, They were
not young men who had not had the
timet to make their reputations. They
were men, some ot them of a distinguish
ed past, and all of them of .the very
hlrhest standing in mis community.
They were men of diversified professions
and of varying experience. They read
that literature. Their honor was at
stake. If that literature was fraudulent
or calculated to deceive the- public or
Intended to deceive the public
X want to say, as I said before, there
Is no stake that any of these gentlemen
had in thhi company of a pecuniary
character that weighed one particle, In

Declares Agreement Between Banker
and Thompson Syndicate Was
Planned to Hurry Congress.,
Representative Thetus W. Sims of Ten
nessee jesterday added another long
chapter to tho controversy between him
self and Charles C Glover, president of
the Rlggs National Bank of this city,
relative to the latter's connection with
the project to purchase as an addition
to Rock Creek Park, V acres of land
lying between the park and what is
now Potomac Park.
By waj of adding zest to the pro
ceedings, besides charging Mr. Golver
with a "deliberate and malicious" at
tempt to place him In false position.
Mr. Sims read into the record o. con
struction of tho option between Mr.
Glover and the Thompson syndicate,
represented by Charles J. Bell and oth
ers, which. Mr. Sims declared, showed
that the option was bogus and drawn
up with a view to hurrying Congress
Into precipitate action upon the plan to
buy the property In question.
Reads Glover's Statement,
Mr. Sims read a part of Mr. Glover's
statement before tho Insurance commit
tee, continuing:
It appears that Mr. Glover, under
oath, at his own request for permission
to do so. made the above statement, a
part of which was that he had an option
for two jears on the land referred to.
and for two sessions of Congress the
property was offered at the price or JCO.
(mi. He further says-
" "I endeavored to hav e this option re
newed for another year, having failed
within the two years to cause the pas
sage of this bill After much difficulty
I succeeded In having it continued for
another jear in writing
"Mr. Speaker, both these statements
as to tho length of time that the origi
nal and renewed options had to run be
fore they expired, by specific terras al
though made under the sanction of an
oath before- a committee of this House,
are deliberately false statements, and ,
known to bo false when made. This
fact I did not know when I made my
statement on January 13. mi and never
knew until the statement of Mr. Glover,
which appeared in the minutest detail
In several paperson the Kth dajt of Jan-uarj-;
1310. In which Mr. Glover publishes
what he claims Is a copy of his original
option, which Is as follows "
Mr Sims here read Into tho record
what purported to be a copv of the op
tion. He continued:
"This option shows that it was given
on the 3th day of March, lOOi Next to
the last provision of this contract reads
as follows
"'It Is further agreed that this agree
ment shall continue In force until the
end of the first session of the present
Congress, the Flftj -ninth Congress, and
shall then cease and determine and be
of no effect, unless the legislation here
contemplated and specified be obtained
and an appropriation made for the pur
ihase money herein desIrnatM at said
first session "
"Mr Speaker, the first session of the
Flftj -ninth Congress mentioned in this
bogus option, had been in existence at
the date of this agreement since the
first Monday In December. 1sB. or mure
than three months, and under no con
ceivable circumstances could have con
tinued for two j ears from that date as
sworn to by Mr Glover The first ses
sion of the Flftj -ninth Congress did In
fact expire bj- adjournment jmu n tone
and bj the specific and definite provision
of the option it expired on that date
as o legislation had been obtained and
no appropriation made as proviled dur

I just need to know if its possible to run ISOS downloaded from popular sites like wehackwii or wiiisos, etc. using USB Loader GX
Usb Loader GX only works with the ripped DVD's you proccess on your console.
If the former question is correct, does USB Loader GX loads more ISO's games than the Waninkoko's Backup Loader ?
Of course, loading physical discs from Backup Loader or a chip-modded wii is something everybody would like to avoid. And I'm sure the #1 wii gamers dream is to have hundreds of wii games in a small and beautiful WD Passport HDD or similar, and just pick up the one you want to play from a scrolling list.

Joint Media Release
12 May 2009
Enhanced Pacific Engagement
Through the 2009-10 Budget the Government will provide $3.8 million over two years to continue to enhance Australia's engagement with the island states of the Pacific, as outlined in the Prime Minister's Port Moresby Declaration of March 2008.
It is in Australia's interests to help build strong, stable nations in our region, and this funding will take forward key components of the Government's Pacific Engagement Strategy, including the negotiation of Pacific Partnerships for Development.
Pacific Partnerships for Development commit Australia and Pacific island countries to achieving shared objectives, including more rapid progress towards the Millennium Development Goals.
The Government has successfully negotiated partnerships with Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Kiribati, and looks forward to concluding further agreements in the lead up to this year's Pacific Islands Forum Leaders' Meeting in Cairns, in August.
This funding will also support work to deliver a roadmap for negotiations on a comprehensive trade and economic agreement ("PACER Plus") between Australia, New Zealand and Pacific island countries.
The Government will also provide $777.3 million over four years (including $29.0 million for DFAT) for continuation of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), reflecting Australia's commitment to supporting peace and stability in Solomon Islands.

Re: MADISON, Nancy obit sister-in-law of Pres James MADISON
In reply to:
MADISON, Nancy obit sister-in-law of Pres James MADISON
Helen Satterfield 10/15/12
Hi Helen,
I've been researching Nancy Jarrell Madison for several years and found her to be an amazing woman in her own right, far more than just a notable man's wife and the former President's sister-in-law. (James Madison died on William and Nancy's second anniversary.)
I'm in the process of trying to verify the correct death date for her. The obituary says she died May 15, 1875, but her grave marker says she died May 11, 1875. When I get that and a few other details resolved, I'm planning a formal report on Nancy's full life.
In the meantime, a short summary of my research called "Overview: NANCY JARRELL MADISON (1789-1875)" is on my website at:
Two things regarding your post. First, William Madison did not have a middle name or use a middle initial, even though the erroneous names "William Taylor Madison" and "William T. Madison" have been all over the web for years. (A good example of web info where just because "everybody has it" doesn't mean it's right!) For full documentation see the Montpelier Foundation's Madison Family genealogy by C. Thomas Chapman at:
And this is a small picky point, but since I'm a transcription "purist" I need to add that the original of the obituary you've posted says that Mrs. Nancy Madison "died at her home in Pleasant Township on the 15th" but does not add the county and state. An image of the original is available at:
I appreciate your interest in Nancy.

Fred Willard made light of his recent arrest for lewd conduct on Thursday's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," insisting he did nothing wrong, but telling the host that he was "trying to laugh it off."
"It's the last time I'm going to listen to my wife when she says, 'why don't you go out and see a movie,'" Willard said.
Fallon ribbed the actor, asking if he had been watching "Anaconda" when he was nabbed by "the fuzz," to which Willard replied that the film in question had been "Get Shorty."
It wasn't all penis jokes and double entendres, as the "Best in Show" star did admit that it was a painful time for him and his family.
"It's very embarrassing. It's as embarrassing as hell," Willard said. "But let me say this: Nothing happened. I did nothing wrong. Everything is being sorted out as we speak."
The public relations nightmare kicked off last week, when Willard was arrested after police on a routine inspection of an adult theater in Hollywood allegedly found him engaging in a lewd act.
After reports broke, he was fired by PBS as host of the series "Market Warriors." The legal punishment for Willard's offense is far less severe than the public embarrassment, however. The L.A. City Attorney's Office said last week that the actor can avoid charges if he completes a diversion program for $380.
Willard said that he was surprised there were still adult movie theaters around anymore and told Fallon that he was drawn in by the theater's Polynesian-themed exterior.
"It's an interesting theater, a boring movie and a great place to take a nap," Willard said to sum up the whole experience.

Inaugural Carinthia Open Mega Plaza (C.O.M.P.) Snowboard Throwdown at Mount Snow
WEST DOVER, Vt. (Feb. 28, 2013) – On Saturday, March 9 at Mount Snow in southern Vermont professional and amateur snowboarders will find themselves staring down a competition venue unlike any they've ever seen. Carinthia's acclaimed park builders, led by Freestyle Terrain Manager Day Franzen, are going to construct a one-of-a-kind, mega plaza-style setup that will be loaded with rails, boxes, bonks and a whole arsenal of unique features found nowhere else but here. Athletes will need to choose their line carefully so they can go big, get technical and flex their style to walk away with a piece of the $6,000 cash purse for pros or gear from event sponsors for the amateurs in this jam format competition.
Using a plaza set-up for a snowboard competition was the brainchild of Franzen and his park crew. A "plaza", in terrain park terms, is loosely defined as an area completely filled with strategically placed terrain park features offering riders countless different lines to choose from. And with the absence of a large-scale snowboard competition on the east coast, he felt it was time to change things up a bit from the traditional slopestyle and superpipe disciplines that most of the bigger events feature.
"It seems to me that snowboarders are hungry for a competition that allows them the opportunity to get more technical and creative," says Franzen, who has managed Mount Snow's Carinthia Parks since 2011. "The C.O.M.P. is going to showcase how far snowboard athletes have come, beyond just flying through the air."
Red Bull has kicked in $1,000 to be handed out on-site to athletes that throw down the best tricks of the day.
Registration for the C.O.M.P. is $50 which includes a lift ticket for the day and entry into the competition. Event sponsors are Neff, Nixon, Bern and Oakley.
Schedule for March 9, 2013
7:30a-9:30a Registration on 2nd floor of Main Base Lodge
10:15a Mandatory riders meeting at bottom of the course

I would much rather see Brees, but Culpepper wouldnt be too bad if he could actully get in uniform and healthy next season. I really see Brees fitting here. He would have a good RB, athletic TE, (two things he has in SD) and somethin he didnt have, a big play WR. Only great things will come if Brees ends up here. BREES MUST BE A DOLPHIN NEXT SEASON!!!

About the Book
Twenty-year-old Jeremiah Bacon has never fired a gun or even ridden a horse. He's headed by train with his parents from Boston to San Francisco to start a career as a concert pianist. But his father is killed in a holdup of a Wells Fargo office in Point of Rocks, Wyoming, and Jeremiah swears to catch the murderers no matter what it takes.
He plunges into an entirely new world. His piano playing gets him a job in a saloon, where he's introduced to cowboys and beer, poker and brawls, and the beautiful, captivating Stacey. He grabs the chance to be a stagecoach driver to South Pass City and becomes equally enamored of Anita, the Wells Fargo agent's pretty daughter.
But it's his gunfighting lessons from Marshal Otis MacKenzie and his drive for vengeance that takes him into deadly conflict with the cold-blooded outlaws of the Red Desert Gang. He willingly puts his life at stake to avenge his father, but at the same time he also learns a lot about people and what's really important in life.

My daughter was hiding food/candy/etc. under her bed at my house and her grandparents. Solution: taken bed away and placed in storage for 30days. She hasn't done it again. She stole jewelry from me and grandmother. Solution: Her Nanna spend the day shopping so she would have her own. She stopped for 4 months and she's back doing it again. She's been sent to the principal for distrupting the class, which leads to school suspension. Solution: punishment(no TV, cell,ninotendo DS) But she has the "i don't care attitude" when i tell her she will have consequences for her actions. I have stopped yelling/screaming at her to make her understand she needs to make better decisions. I have left the room when others like her grandparents, aunts, or uncles try to discuss it with her so she wouldn't feel that EVERYBODYS GAINING UP ON HER. I tried the guidance counselor,individual and family counseling.

Scott Jagow: The price of milk is now about the same as the price of gas: almost $4 a gallon. There may be a lot of reasons milk prices have gone up so much, but one of them could be that dairy farmers are manipulating the price. Wall Street Journal says the government is about to bring charges of price fixing. Dan Grech has more.
Dan Grech: Over the past four years, consumer milk prices have risen about 32 percent. That's more than double the rate of increase for food prices in general.
The Department of Agriculture alleges the Dairy Farmers of America drove down what it paid for raw milk by misreporting prices to the USDA. And the dairy co-op allegedly drove up the price retailers paid for the milk through trading at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Henry Kinnucan is an agricultural economist at Auburn University. He found in a study that while prices increases are passed onto consumers, milk price drops are pocketed by the middlemen like the Dairy Farmers of America.
Henry Kinnucan: When farm prices go down, the retail prices tend to be sticky, which means that the margins are widened. And that's a fairly classic symptom of market power being exercised by middlemen.
Revenue for the Dairy Farmers of America grew to $11.1 billion in 2007, up nearly 50 percent from the year before.
I'm Dan Grech for Marketplace.

Bought the Whirpool American fridege freezer back in 2003 from Alders (approx £1500) with a free 5 year guarentee. After 3 years it conked out (alarm going off, control panel flashing etc). Fortunately PCB and control panel replaced (eventuially) for free but would have cost around £300-£400 !!!!
In 2009 experiencing different problems (freezer and fridge not holding their temperature). Took bottom front grill off to remove accumalated dust and fluff which I thought would sort it out but it seems the condensor and/or capacitors have had it. Going to cut my loses as trying to get any service from Whirlpool is a waste of time! On the look out for a cheaper more reliable replacement.

Dr. Susan Shurin - June 28, 2011
Congratulations to Vicki Pemberton and team, whose video about children in research studies from the NHLBI-hosted Children and Clinical Studies Web campaign was one of six short films selected to be shown at the annual Genetic Alliance conference. It's a real pleasure to see this project continuing to be recognized.
Pemberton noted about her experience at the screening:
One film that I had seen before was "Me and Antoine B.," referring to Antoine B. Marfan. It highlights one young man's experience living with Marfan syndrome. He interviews his family members and also his pediatrician, Dr. Alan Guttmacher, who is now the director of NICHD, while relating information about his condition, his physical restrictions, and how he overcame those. Kevin is currently in film school and is truly an inspiration.
There is an excerpt from a full-length film, "One Little Difference." The story is about Camp Crescent Moon, a camp for children with sickle cell disease, and the making of music videos by the campers.
One film, "Epigenetic Landscapes," presents information for science students in a very basic, easy-to-understand, and amusing way.
I thought the film "If I Can't Dance," about the benefits of dance classes for people with Parkinson's Disease here in the D.C. area, was particularly inspiring.
Synopses of the screened films can be found at http://www.geneticalliance.org/genescreen2011

Concerns With YouTube
by Tass on Sep.03, 2010, under Uncategorized
I've been having problems with ads on some of my videos over the past few weeks, and it's starting to worry me. For most of the past 18 months (since I joined the partner program), my videos have had ads approved automatically, as soon as I upload them. Every once in a while I'd have a video that they'd ask for more information on. I'd provide it and they'd approve the ads… delaying things 24-36 hours.
But recently, almost every video I've added has either taken 24+ hours to have ads approved, requested more information and taken 48+ hours to get them approved, or a few have been outright rejected for ads right away. None of it makes sense. I'm a partner in good standing. I'm by no means a large channel… but I'm not small either; the forums are littered with people who do a few hundred views a day whining that they get no response from YouTube. I do get responses when I email partner support… they just are completely worthless ones. You'd think that my standing, history, and 3.5+ million views a month would get me some actual answers… but it doesn't. I'm large enough to get responses, but not big enough for them to care to actually help me.
Most recently, I uploaded 2 videos for a new Saunavihta game on Wednesday morning (9am PST). It's been 60+ hours, and they still do not have ads… nor have I gotten a request to provide more information. And, of course, the 2 videos I uploaded today for Sieger don't have ads yet either. Between the delays and the outright rejections for no reason, I've lost hundreds of thousands of impressions (and so has YouTube).
I'm starting to get really annoyed and worried. I'm dependent on my revenue from YouTube to live… and if they aren't approving my ads in a timely manner, I'm going to continue to lose hundreds of thousands of impressions. That adds up very, very quickly. I've tried explaining this to partner support. I've tried asking to get automatic ads back on my videos. I've tried asking for 1 specific YouTube employee to be my representative. And I get nothing of consequence back. And there's nothing I can do about it.

Ethnic Diversity in Malaysia-Lessons Learned from Bio-Diversity Research
Biology and Anthropology/Sociology have dealt with issues of diversity for a long time,developing different concepts, theories and methods. In recent years there has been, if not a convergence, but at least a recognition that problems in nature and in society are interrelated. This paper attempts to use methods of biodiversity research and test their applicability for a study of ethnic relations. It is noted that the preservation of biodiversity ranks high on the agenda of researchers and politicians, whereas ethnic diversity is often associated with unrest, conflict and economic decline. We try to reverse this tendency by emphasizing social cohesion and the social and economic value of ethnic diversity. An "ethnic diversity index" is developed and proposed for further analysis of Malaysia's plural society. This index is based on Simpson's diversity index, commonly used in biodiversity research. Furthermore research on the interrelation of bio- and ethnic diversity is advocated.
