160. I wish that what you said to me was a comfort
but I do not think it is. Whilst I accept that there are other
very good reasons why a farmer may have different trading names,
I cannot believe that it is a sensible use of your resources to
do what you have just described, which was how many thousand parcels?
(Mr McNeill) 1.7 million parcels of land will be on
the land register. That is currently handled by map systems, as
we discussed earlier, fields being identified.
161. Yes, but what you are saying is that for
1.7 million parcels of land you would then have to cross-register
multiple names.
(Mr McNeill) No, sorry, perhaps I was not making myself
clear. What we are saying is by doing that and creating a land
register, if a farmer in a number of names was to apply for CAP
payments, CAP subsidy, we would be able to identify that there
was a multiple application and that would enable us to prevent
fraud. I have tried to explain the two sides of the equation.
One is that we want to have a single business identifier. That
may not be possible, as you have identified, for legitimate reasonsthe
land moves from one part of the family to another, etc.but
what we need to do is make sure that where we have a number of
parts of the family or a limited company involved we can still
cross-reference that to identify that they are talking about a
particular piece of land or a grouping of fields and that way
we can avoid multiple applications for grants. That is part of
the development of the new systems.
162. I have listened to what you say but I do
not feel comforted by it.
(Mr McNeill) We have provided the Committee with a
diagram, etc., and a booklet which does go into some detail as
to how this might come about.
163. Let me pursue the issue of the fires in
the barns. The question has been properly raised, I think it was
by Mr Rendel, was there no way of determining what was actually
in the barn. Can I just ask, and it may be I have missed this,
I understood Mr Bowden had made an insurance claim for the barn
but did he make an insurance claim for the contents of the barn?
(Mr MacKinnon) I feel sure that he did but I cannot
actually give you a categoric answer. I am pretty sure that the
claims he made against the insurance company did include the lost
crop. The crop in his barn under the flax scheme would belong
to the contractor with whom he contracted. Some of the recent
discussion has talked about Mr Bowden as claimant but under the
flax scheme, of course, he was not the claimant, he was the grower,
the claimant was the processor who had a contract with Mr Bowden
to take all the flax from the fields he was growing in.
164. A contract that Mr Bowden would subsequently
default on because he had no flax to provide and, therefore, presumably
there would be some form of damages under that contract.
(Mr MacKinnon) That would be a contractual matter,
165. And, therefore, he would have suffered
the loss which he was able to claim from the insurance company.
(Mr MacKinnon) That is my understanding, yes.
166. In answer to Mr Rendel's question, why
has nobody actually tracked back what the loss adjustor who investigated
the loss from the barn found when he was investigating that case?
(Mr MacKinnon) There was no need under the flax scheme
arrangements to do that for 1994-5-6 because there was no requirement
for processing to actually take place in those years. Subsequently
it became a requirement that the flax should be processed and
we would have had great difficulty with that claim because clearly
no flax was processed following the barn fire. In those years
the issue was one, after that time, for the insurance company.
I cannot tell you what investigations they carried out.
167. I am not sure whether we are at cross-purposes
or not. I understood that you had said that nobody knew for sure
what was in the barn. That was in response to an earlier question.
My question to you is this: why did you not find out by seeing
what the loss adjustor had determined was in the barn when investigating
the claim?
(Mr MacKinnon) I think my answer to that must be that
we were satisfied that the crop which had been grown was flax.
Indeed, the court took the same view ultimately in accepting not
guilty pleas about falsifying claims for flax.
168. Okay. In paragraph 3.10 it states "It
would have been difficult to identify the crops being grown or
harvested . . ." because of this special Viking strain that
Mr Bowden claimed to be growing. I believe you said to the Committee
earlier that there were two visits, one in September 1994 after
the sowing and one in April 1995 after the harvesting but also
after it had been lost in the fireallegedly. Can I ask
why would your department send an inspector at a time of year
when they knew that it was very difficult to tell the difference
between Viking flax and linseed? You know what the growing cycle
is. Until I read this report I could not have told you what flax
or linseed looked like to save my life. Why on earth would you
send an inspector at a time when you know it is going to be difficult
to identify? Why did you not send your inspectors at a time when
you knew that it would be quite conclusive?
(Mr MacKinnon) We do our inspections for a number
of things. It is not sufficient, for instance, for a grower simply
to scatter seed on the land, so we might go and do a post-harvest
check, do a stubble count to make sure that the population of
plants in the field was consistent with proper agronomic practice.
We do a sowing declaration stage inspection to make sure that
he has sown the fields that he has said. I think our problem here
was our inspector was going along expecting to see plants of the
flax/linseed family and knowing that there was a flax claim would
have accepted that what he was seeing was flax.
169. Sorry, forgive me, are you telling me that
when your inspectors went there, they did not know that what they
were going to see was Viking flax? You are not telling me that
because in the report it says, quite clearly, that they were going
to do a field inspection of some of the ten per cent of all flax
scheme applicants, so they knew.
(Mr MacKinnon) They knew they were going to see Viking
flax, yes.
170. They knew they were?
(Mr MacKinnon) Yes.
171. So they knew that they were going to see
Viking flax at a time of year when it was virtually impossible,
without actually doing a laboratory test, to determine whether
it was Viking flax or linseed.
(Mr MacKinnon) I am not sure whether a lab test would
have been necessary.
172. We will get on to the lab test, just answer
the question.
(Mr MacKinnon) As far as I know all I have is the
inspector's report of that visit when he says that he saw flax
growing in the field.
173. Mr MacKinnon, it is not the inspector I
want to nail here, it is you. You were responsible for this, for
God's sake. You were the official in charge sending these guys
out into the field. What the hell were you doing sending them
out into the field at a time when you of all people knew that
they could not tell the difference between what they were looking
at and something else?
(Mr MacKinnon) I am not saying that the inspector
could not tell the difference. There are similarities, clearly.
The inspector said that he was satisfied that there was flax in
the field.
174. Yes, the inspector did say that but you
have, in an agreed report, told usand I quoteit
would have been difficult to identify the crops being grown or
(Mr MacKinnon) I think that is in the awareness that
there was, indeed, a linseed claim under the AAPS scheme. Now
we know that, we did not know that at the time and that is the
problem and we said we got wrong. We should have done cross checks
with the IACS schemes. Had we known there was an AAPS claim there
then clearly this would be a different issue.
175. I am running out of time. Can I just ask
what system of specimen taking and lab inspection of crops is
now incorporated into your process of inspection, notification,
verification and payment?
(Mr MacKinnon) I am afraid I cannot answer that. I
think we would have to give you a note on that.[12]
176. But it is your system.
(Mr MacKinnon) It is one of a great number of systems
that I have. I have 50 or 60 schemes from the old Intervention
Board and another 10 from the old Ministry of Agriculture, so
there are some 70 schemes for which I am responsible.
Mr Osborne: Chairman, I should put on record
that I was the special advisor at the Ministry of Agriculture
from 1995 to 1997, although special advisors did not occupy the
seventh level of hell in those days. Nevertheless, it does cover
a period covered in the report
Mr Steinberg: So you were to blame!
177. I recognise some of the faces there. To
follow up what Mr Gardiner was saying, if you turn to the front
cover of this report, is that linseed or flax, Mr Bender?
(Mr Bender) I cannot answer that. I am not an expert
and I would not claim to be.
178. Mr MacKinnon?
(Mr MacKinnon) I do not know either.
179. Mr McNeill?
(Mr McNeill) No.
Chairman: Does anybody in the room know?

There's plenty of action on the love life front this week, with proposals, engagements, arguments and knock-backs galore. Love could be in the air in the Street for Sunita (about time too), while Todd has big plans for his future with Sarah. But the relationship counsellors must be run off their feet in Corrie, between the Karen/Steve/Joe situation, and Emma and Curly's growing problems. Alfie and Kat are still flirting but not doing anything about it in 'Enders, but Cwmderi is awash with engagement action - although it doesn't all have a happy ending. Stacey's got bad news for Brandon, and in Brookie, Gabby and Gary's disastrous relationship seems to have rubbed off on Jacqui and Max. The path of true love never did run smooth. . .
Young lovers Katie and Andy cause trouble by squatting at the Butlers' farm - Jack threatens to report them to Chris Tate, leading to more problems for the couple.
Sneaky Nicola isn't impressed with Laurel's ideas to better herself and move on from the cleaning firm, and she does her best to sabotage Laurel's big chance behind the bar at the Woolpack.
Bob's in trouble at the pub as everything that could go wrong does while Diane and Louise are away, and he's got a lot of explaining to do on the girls' return.
Just how long is it going to be? A week? A month? Never? What am I going on about? Alfie and Kat's will-they, won't-they, when are they finally going to get together saga, of course.
The pair's chemistry has been sizzling for ages, with Alfie constantly mooning over the orange tan woman for far too long to be dignified. And nasty Dennis hasn't helped, turning Kat's head with his bad-boy charm.
Nana Moon seems to be the only one with any sense - leave it up to her to sort it out, that's what I say.
Things don't look too good for ex-con Dennis when he gets himself into a sticky situation with the haul from Vicky and Martin's Minute Mart raid, leading to an ultimatum from Sharon. Will Vicki own up, and will Sharon send her back across the pond? I for one will start a whip-around if she can't afford the fare.
There's nothing like a surprise proposal to upstage your engagement party, is there?
Jason and Sara are less than impressed when Cai asks Emma to marry him in the middle of their celebration.
Marriage is not on the cards for Stacey, though, and she prepares to break the news to Brandon.
There's controversy on the day of Wil bach's christening as the DNA test results arrive. Now that's what I call timing.
But as old flames Emma and Steffan discuss her impending marriage, things turn sour with a dramatic turn of events - just don't miss Thursday's episode!
Could things get any worse for Gary and Gabby?
After failing to talk his wife round after last week's "incident" with Jacqui, Gary takes matters into his own hands and tries to move her stuff from a friend's flat.
But when Gabby confronts him, Gary lashes out, sending her sprawling.
Rachel takes great pleasure on reporting Gary to the surgery, with disastrous results for his job.
So he decides if he's going down, Jacqui is going down with him, so he charges over to Max to tell all.
Love-struck Katy is mortified and Martin is embarrassed after the teenager's advances at the party - but whereas Martin wants to put it behind them, Katy finds it harder to forget about her crush.
Les is struggling to come to terms with life in prison, and the stress of the court case comes to a head between Emma and Curly, which leads to both of the Watts being locked out of the house at different times, and Curly ending up sleeping on the Duckworths' sofa.
Steve is sinking further into despair as he hears Karen may be moving away with wide-boy Joe Carter.
And Sunita is shocked when Dev asks her out on a date - does the Street's Casanova finally want to settle down?

St. Luke Union's Story
The history of St. Luke Union Church is quite unique. In 1834, First Presbyterian Church of Bloomington was founded by Scotch-Irish immigrants living in McLean County, and delivered services under that name until a 1964 merger with Pilgrim Congregational Church. That union led to the formation of the Union Presbyterian Church. The original church building, still located in southeast Bloomington, was constructed by Union Presbyterian Church in 1966.
Meanwhile, in 1884, German immigrants in McLean County wishing to worship in the Reformed Tradition developed St. Luke Evangelical and Reformed Church. Through a series of denominational mergers this church eventually became St. Luke United Church of Christ (UCC).
Each of these organizations remained independent until 1975, when Union Presbyterian Church and St. Luke UCC merged to create what is known today as St. Luke Union Church. It has been an exceptional merger, enriching the spiritual lives of church members in McLean County and providing ministry around the world through the United Church of Christ and Presbyterian Church (USA).
Today, St. Luke Union Church continues its spiritual mission to be an active, caring community proclaiming the Word of God, seeking to know God's will as individuals and as a church, being transformed by the Holy Spirit, practicing Christian discipleship, and demonstrating Christ's unconditional grace and love for all.

So it's time for the second sister date! If you want to read about our first adventure, here's the link. This time we headed to Pitt Bros. A new BBQ place on George's street. I've wanted to go here since it opened before Christmas but unfortunately it was not meant to be! Now when me and the sister meet last week and I suggested Pitt Bros she was very excited!!
Pitt Bros is basically is a traditional American style BBQ food joint!! All meats are slow cooked and smoked and serves with a BBQ sauce. They have a great deal for three meats and two sides for €19.95. We couldn't decide between the sides, so we ordered an extra one.
We got ribs, brisket and pulled pork and the sides we chose were onion rings, chips and of course mac n cheese! All delicious! All of the meats had a different BBQ sauce to compliment the flavour of the meat. And of course every meal is followed by a comlimentary ice cream cone! Two very happy campers left Pitt Bros that evening!
We're trying to decide where we want to go for our next sister date so if you have any suggestions please lets know!

Media / Watchdog
Friday, 20 Jan 2017 12:16 email@example.com
Mbeere North parliamentary aspirant Dr Patricio Njiru has been accused of threatening a journalist working with the K24 television channel. Journalist Dickson Macharia recorded a statement at the Embu police station this morning over the threats. He claims Dr Njiru warned him against reporting negatively on the aspirant and demanded that he vacates Embu "with immediate effect".
Mr Macharia claims that the aspirant, who is a former Embu County executive committee member for agriculture, had initially complained to him over a Facebook post he had written and accused him of being behind an alleged social media campaign to tarnish the aspirant's name. Over the past two weeks, social media platforms on Mbeere North politics have been awash with allegations about Dr Njiru's extramarital affairs.
One such report alleged that Dr Njiru had caused commotion at a social joint after reveling with friends through most of the night. The report claimed that at one time in the night, the aspirant, surrounded with some female friends, brandished his pistol to intimidate other revellers questioning his conduct. Dr Njiru was a licensed gun owner until recently, but his firearm was said to have been withdrawn. Our efforts to reach him to verify the allegations were unsuccessful.
The Kenya Union of Journalists has seized the matter and called on Dr Njiru to stop his threats forthwith. "We are treating these threats very seriously, and I can assure Dr Njiru that by the time the Jubilee Party will be holding primaries, he could very well be rotting in jail," the Union's secretary general Eric Oduor told the Kenya Free Press on the phone. He said the Union would follow the police investigation into the matter keenly to ensure justice is done.
Dr Njiru is one of four former officials of the Embu County Government who are running for parliamentyary seats in the region. Emily Thaara, former CEC for trade, is contesting the Mbeere South seat, the County Secretary Raymond Kinyua has declared his interest in the Runyenjes seat, and former chief officer in Livestock and Fisheries Monicah Syombua is vying for the Women Representative position.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I am creating an apparel website ;How do I add sizes to the items I'm selling?
Also, when I add the CategoryMenu, it appears to be duplicated, it dumps an extra (identical) row of menu choices onto the screen. In both cases these matters have been resolved in your demo version.
I need to have a landing page for each category; is that possible?
thanks, Sam Grossmann.
Hi Sam,
Sizes can be added by creating a number of different models for each product, or by adding options, it all depends on your product needs.
The duplicate is the root level menu and then the sublevel menu being the same on the first page, in the settings of the category menu, you have a setting to hide submenu when it matches the root menu. (there are plenty of settings on the menu, you'll probably
have to play around a bit to get the appearence you wish.)
The landing page, can be done by having a hidden (or default to a category) productlist page in the DNN menu, the having a tab which links via a url to the productlist tab, in the url you need to specify the catid parameter example( "catid/6"
), this way you have 1 real tab, with the product list module and a number of URL tab that link to it specifying the correct catid. I usually just have the productlist modules defaulted to my major category then the category menu a t the side.
Sorry for the rushed response, hope it helps,
Thanks Dave, It's a great help. (Although I haven't actually explored any of these remedies yet, nevertheless it all seems pretty straightforward.) The thing that has me confused is the garment sizing, I'll let you know once I've started work on it. On your
demo model you have a nice little (input) box for sizes. I haven't had a good look at the database either; is there a field for product sizes?
Thank you for your prompt reply, bit by bit it'sall coming together. Kind regards, Sam.
No the sizes are models (Although in v1.1.7 there is custom fields for products), login as "manager", "manager" on the demo site and you'll see the setup.

Asus Tinker Board
If it reminds you of a Raspberry Pi you're definitely onto something. After decades of making solid motherboards and miscellaneous hardware (not to mention computers), the Asus Tinker Board is the hardware giant's first take on a miniature, affordable single board computer made for DIYers and tinkerers. The compact credit card-shaped device boasts a surprisingly large amount of functionality that includes a quad-core ARM Rockchip RK3288 processor, 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, a dedicated ARM-based GPU good for playing 4K video, and a ton of inputs and outputs (think full-sized HDMI, 3.5mm audio, LAN, two USB 2.0 ports, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, a microSD card reader, and more). It runs on Debian-based TinkerOS and though it costs a little more than the highest end Raspberry Pi, for projects where more robust specs and feature sets are necessary the Thinker Board should make a name for itself.

It has been a crazy week.
Last Thursday, I checked my phone and had 3 messages at lunch. I never have more than one message, and even that is rare. Mom was desperately trying to get ahold of a family member who had called her, and I had a bad feeling even then.
When my cousin called back, she said her father had two brain aneurysms discovered a few days before, and they had led to a massive stroke on both sides of the brain. When we got the call, he was on life support but declared braindead.
They kept him on life support until they could find enough patients for him to donate multiple organs, but the funeral happened in a matter of days.
I know they can't be pleasant for anyone, but funerals are tough for me. My dad died when I was young, and every funeral I go to reminds me incredibly of that rough time. I'm still nowhere near over it (even though I recently reached the point where I'd been alive longer without my dad than with him). I have trained myself, basically, to push back the grief when I need to. Or even when I just want to. Most days nothing really gets to me- and even if it does, I'm usually able to move on through my day and deal with it when I get home.
A funeral is a giant reminder of everything. I can't push it back, or get away, or concentrate on something else. It's there, staring me in the face, with every awkward hug and each line of "On Eagle's Wings." Every second I can't manage to distract myself, I become 11 years old again and can't stop crying. The grief that normally lies dormant and dull suddenly becomes sharp and insistent, especially when there's a picture set out of my dad and uncle together when they were young and grinning.
For me in this case, the person's death was sudden but not entirely shocking, as he'd suffered many health problems in the past. But my heart ached for his family. His kids are only in their 20's, and yet both of their parents have died in the past 5 years. I know how much it hurts to lose your dad, but I can't imagine how the pain would magnify if my mom weren't here either. It doesn't feel fair that they have to deal with that.
I did my sub plans on Monday, drove home to beat the snow, spent most of the day at the church, drove back, and taught again on Wednesday. My week felt strange and 'off', and I kept fighting off really thinking more about what happened so I could get through the week. Honestly, during the days I didn't think I could deal with it and still teach. And after work, I've kept myself distracted as much as possible because I haven't really wanted to deal with it.
Throughout all of this, my grandfather has been in the hospital, too, dealing with a plethora of ailments that seem to be worsening and complicating each other more each day.
I got a message yesterday that my mom and her siblings were driving down to Florida immediately. The doctor gave word that Grandpa's chances weren't good of making it out of the hospital. They're fighting a monster case of pneumonia for a chance to fix his heart, and he's just been moved to the ICU where they are trying 'last chance' options.
I feel like I don't know what to do, because there's really not any concrete thing I can do but pray and it doesn't feel like enough. I feel guilty because I keep putting everything out of my mind, even though I know that tends to be how I deal with things until I can't do it anymore. I can't stop worrying about my cousins and my grandma and my mom and everyone who is closer to the situation than me. I'm sick of having to keep my phone in my pocket at work because I might need to take an emergency call or check it and find a message that something else has gotten worse.
I don't know what I want to come of writing about all this, but I needed to. Either one of these situations would be hard, but I'm really struggling with facing both so close together. If things get worse for my grandpa, I'm afraid I'll just... unravel. Hopefully the antibiotics will start working soon.
P.S.- I know I have some friends who will want to pray and think of me, but please don't. If you want to do something like that, think of my grandfather and my cousins, grandma, and mom. They are dealing with a lot more than I am right now.

The geopolitical narrative surrounding the domestic war in Syria has taken a surprising turn towards a diplomatic solution following a suggestion by US Secretary of State John Kerry, who proposed that Syria surrender its chemical weapons arsenal for destruction.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quick to back the idea, and promptly made the offer to his Syrian counterpart, Walid Muallem. US officials are now saying that Kerry made a "rhetorical argument" rather than a serious offer.
On August 30, 2013, Kerry said the US had evidence "as clear as they are compelling" that the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against its own people, killing 1,429 including 426 children on August 21, 2013, in the suburbs of Damascus.
Meanwhile, United Nations (UN) investigators who collected samples on the scene of the alleged sarin gas attack haven't released the report of their findings. But the US has already said that if the nerve agent were used against civilians, they would intervene by use of military force.
President Obama has backed from his initial hard line and asked Congress to postpone their vote on military action against Syria, not because the UN report has not been released but rather to wait and see if the Syrian regime will give up its chemical weapons.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has lashed out against all international accusations and repeated several times that it was rebels and terrorists who deployed the chemical weapons. So far his counterclaim is only supported by a Russian 100-page long report to the UN.
However, there are more things at stake than meet the eye. Last time the international community put their faith in US intelligence it lead to the Iraq war. Then the accusations suggested that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
"We know where they are [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat," then Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, said on March 30, 2003.
It's no wonder that with a history of this precise intelligence, the States may want to opt for a more standoffish approach to the chemical weapons situation in Syria.
Should the US decide to intervene through military action, Russia has already announced publicly that they will deploy their navy to support the Syrian regime. Obviously, the former Cold War enemies will do anything to avoid a test of military might. Anything else could plummet the entire region into all out war.
Concurrently, the civilian death toll is rising in Syria where the domestic war has been raging for more than two years and claimed more than 100,000 lives according to the UN.

I am somewhere in between a beginner and an amateur cook. I learnt basically nothing from my parents, a little from school, and a decent amount from the internet and books. What I really want to do is to fill in the gaps (at least the basic ones) so I can move on and be a confident cook.
Cooking for my dad was to buy the cheapest cut of meat, fry it, and have it with a side of boiled potatoes. As for my mother, well her cooking was eating deli goods such as dips etc and then going out for a coffee.
Even with a lot of research on the internet I find that I just lack basic knowledge and confidence.
For instance;
I know how to make an excellent lasagne (which takes about 5 hours)
I velvet the chicken when making sweet n' sour chicken
I know how to test an egg for freshness
But I have never and would have no idea how to:
Poach an egg
Deglaze a pan
Roast a chicken or lamb without using a Glad Oven Bag
Make bread crumbs
I've got my eye on three books that I'm hoping will cover the very basics of cooking, food safety, techniques, buying food etc
- How to Cook Everything
- Where's Mom Now That I Need Her?: Surviving Away from Home
- Joy of Cooking
Can anyone recommend any additional reading texts? Also as an Australian I'm used to terms such as minced meat not ground meat, Kilograms instead of pounds, and "throw another prawn on the barbi" so I hope the books are still going to be beneficial to me.
Thanks in advance

Unanswered: Query Based On System Date
Can someone please help me with the syntax of my query below. I am trying to create a query that queries a table for records entered on the previous day. Am I approaching this the right way?
Select a, b, c, d, [Completed Date]
From mytable
where ([Completed Date] = GETDATE() - 1)
There are records in mytable with yesterdays date but I am not getting any results. I think it has to do with a mismatch in my date format? The format of the dates in my completed_date field is (1/21/2009 7:52:38 AM). I don't care about the time so I'm looking to change the format of the [Completed Date] field in my database to MMDDYYYY as well as the parameter that I am using in my where clause.
I tried the code below as well and still can't get it to work.
Select a,b,c,d, (SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT (VARCHAR(10),[Completed Date], 101), /, ) AS MMDDYYYY from mytable)
from mytable
where ([Completed Date] = GETDATE() - 1)

rows for the previous day can be obtained by using an expression for today's date which has no time component, i.e. midnight
this is accomplished by stripping off the time portion from GETDATE()
there are many ways to do this, but the most efficient is DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0)
this expression calculates the number of day boundaries between GETDATE() -- regardless of the time -- and a "zero" or base date
then that number is added to the base date
to get yesterday, simply add back one day less
so your WHERE clause for yesterday's rows would be:Code:
WHERE [Completed Date] >= DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE())-1,0) AND [Completed Date] < DATEADD(day,DATEDIFF(day,0,GETDATE()),0)rudy.ca | @rudydotca

Title: Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Opp. 109-111
Year Of Release: 2011
Label: Zig Zag Territoires
Genre: Classical
Quality: FLAC (Image+.cue)/MP3 320 kbps
Total Time: 01:05:58 min
Total Size: 236 mb/151 mb
The late piano sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven are monuments in the literature, and most listeners would likely agree that they sound most impressive on a modern-day grand piano, which can supply all the volume, weight, and sonority they demand. However, Alexei Lubimov has performed the Sonatas, Opp. 109, 110, and 111, on an Alois Graff pianoforte, built in 1828, an authentic instrument from Beethoven's period. The results are not quite as tinny or small-voiced as might be expected from a vintage pianoforte, but fuller and rounder in soft passages, and the instrument only acquires a jangly tone at the loudest dynamics. Lubimov's interpretations are thoughtful and unhurried, and the care he lavishes on the slow movements is to be admired. But he must have felt the need to be a little cautious playing the Allegros and Prestos, because he never thunders or slams his way through, and his sixteenth notes are very clearly articulated with a surprisingly delicate touch. This album will appeal most to the historically inclined, who will want to have an approximation of what Beethoven's contemporaries might have heard. Fortunately for listeners who want their Beethoven played on bigger modern instruments, the majority of recordings of the piano sonatas fill that need. Outhere's sound is highly resonant, thanks to the live acoustics of the United Mennonite Church, Haarlem.

This antique photograph appears to be of a Native American tribe of "Indians", several with suitcases, evidently being moved (again?), and marked as originally photographed in June of 1916 (over 100 years ago).
In this experimental test (faux 360° fully-spherical panorama), I have manipulated the damaged original (with Photoshop, PTGui and Pano2VR) to appear as if they were circled tightly around the photographer.
This was posted under the designation heading offered, "Out of this World", due to the facts that this was not a photo of my taking (and I couldn't make out the photographer's name under one of the suitcases) and that this place likely no longer looks familiar in our timeframe (someone years ago suggested they thought they were a tribe in the middle of some California hills, but I truly do not know). I trust any copyright has been dropped and this is therefore in the public domain, or at least in "fair use", and it has been over 80% altered in various ways. ;) ...https://www.360cities.net/image/native-american-indian-gathering

Over the years ownership has passed between wealthy Bahamians and Americans, but today it is used as an educational dolphin reserve.

Why do you have pet at home or outside? whether is this interest, hobby, love, ...... !
I've always loved animals and has had pets since I was a child. My latest pets though has been cats. I had one and he escaped and a friend found him 4 months later, i had to let him go as he became a street cat. I have had 2 cats, 2 sisters since birth one recently died of cancer. She was 12 years old. Now i am just left with one. I love pets, cause they are good company, i like to play with them and they are loveable. They know no wrong. Animals/pets are adorable, loving and are attached and they love their owners. I loathe for any animal to be abused or just thrown to the street. Animals have feelings and i believe they understand when their owners speak to them. I wish my cat that is over 12 years old would talk to me. I can just imagine what she would say LOL
Uhm... i have 2 cats, five dogs, 7 budgies, 3 vultures, 88 snakes, 3 koala bears, 15 horses, 3 lizzards, 4 eagles, 55 rabbits, 2 cow's, 17 fish, 4 eels, 5 leopards and 6 elephants.
Because I lost my mind. I adopted two Pomeranians from a Rescue Group; traveled 8 hours away to pick them up and now I have to worry about the kids coming home and feeding, walking and bathing them...can you say "un-neccesary stress"?
I have three dogs. Two poodles and one shi tzu. My dogs are great and I love them to death. They follow me all over the house just waiting for me to sit down so they jump on my lap or just lay down beside me. They never have bad days and are never in a bad mood. They are happy just to be with me, no matter what.
I have pets because I love animals and like to be around them.
Single mom here n sometimes home alone. We have 2 dogs, Genghis and Koobla and they are excellent guard dogs. Nobody can come near my house without me hearing about it, lol
Both Pam and I are animal lovers, but I don't like doggy breath or having to walk them, so we don't have dogs. We do have three cats and a leopard gecko.
1. Moe Key Man Cat: He's the reincarnation of various pets Pam and I had YEARS before the two of us ever met. He was once a baby squirrel, Max (Pam's) and a baby cottontail rabbit (mine) as well as her "20 year Moe"--an orange and white guy (Pam's) who lived to be 20 years of age and who looks EXACTLY like he did back then.
2. Kitten Precious was the runt of a litter Pam's son brought home during a time when they (Zach and Pam) were living together (apart from me). Pam instantly fell in love with the tiny furball and stole her from her son--who understood that his Mom needed the kitten more than he did. Besides, he's got a monster Great Dane / Lab cross named Cooper who eats people anyway.
3. Green Eyes (cat) is a black cat who adopted us in Colorado, where she lived in our garage for 2 years before we moved to Arizona. She does not play nice with other cats, though, so since Pam and I have "separate bedrooms", Green Eyes bunks in with me. Definite love all around as long as she doesn't have to go nose to nose with Kitten Precious.
4. Missy Gecko was a replacement for Buddy (a girl gecko). Buddy was neglected by her previous owner and nearly starved to death because the 10 year old owner kept forgetting to feed her. She and Pam were together first. We accidentally caused her death (long story) which broke Pam's heart, but Missy has healed much if not most of that wound.
Dr. Phil had on a show in which he stated pets were ridiculous if you couldn't afford them. Pam and I say, dump the Cable TV subscription (who needs Dr. Phil anyway?) and keep the critters. They definitely give better advice.
I have had a pet cat since I was 4. I am an only child and while I was rarely alone, when I was, I have very fond memories of my cat Pokey (who recently passed away at age 18), sitting and watching me play attentively. Almost like she was babysitting me. When I have kids someday, I definitely want them to have at least one female cat. They really do well with children (most of them...if they're raised right!).
I have two others that are really great, too. One of them is seriously like my baby. I really adore him. In fact, I wrote a hub about Bentley! hahaha I couldn't imagine not having a cat since I've had one 18 years of my life. I would like to get a dog someday, too, but for now I really think that my cat is just as communicative and attentive as a dog. Some people don't 'get' cats, but I think they're incredible pets. I love their independent behavior and their various personalities, no two cats are alike. For people that hate cats, I think it's because they've never met one like mine! For example, if my mom's cat was the only cat I had ever interacted with in my life, I would not care for cats at all. That cat is awful. lol
I love animals. It's like they always know when there is something wrong.
Nicely put, funny I once read about a guy who arrived home every night after a hard day at work and whilst his wife and kids didnt greet him his dog was all over him licking his hand and glad to see him back.
Hmmmm, that's right, it was me
they are kind. they never ask any money to you. they just ask your love.
Growing up i've always had pets, however all of them were outside and not allowed in, except for one cat that would come in on occasions. Now all my pets are indoors. I have 3 dogs, a pit bull (bowser) and 2 boston terriers (nibbler and goomba) 2 cats (achillies and baylin) 2 gerbils (powder and toast man) and some fish. they are my companions, they are family. idk exactly why i have them other than the fact i have and always will share my life with animals.
I have two - my husband and my 4 year old. Between them they keep me so busy that I don't have any time for a four legged variety.
I would like to have a pet, but I prefer not having to pay for the pet deposit where I live. I had a cat a few years back, but I gave it to my parents, so I can visit her any time I wish. The pet I miss the most is Siberian huskey Lady dog. She was such a big part of my life as a teenager and a young adult .
My cat is always near me and when I'm sad or disappointed it's always he who calms me and improves my mood without doing anything - just sitting on my knees and tenderly miauling.
Inside:2 dogs, hubby wanted them now all he does is complain about them, a cat, for the kids,and 3 fish. They are fun to watch and easy to take care of. outside:chickens, for eggs and they are pretty fun, rabbits, again for the kids, and now we have a little garter snake too. My youngest adores snakes, but I refuse to keep a python or anythign like that. every summer we let her catch a grass snake or garter snake and keep if for a couple weeks. I feel like its mean to keep them long, since they are used to going wherever they want. So we make her let them go.
I like my pets, but I wish it wasnt such a strain latley.
I was adopted by a Frog!
They don't require much looking after and it never pees inside!
It is free to hop in or out whenever it pleases and I'm ok with his girlfriend staying over.
Sometimes like Marie Corelli I prefer the pets to a husband
"... I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night." Marie Corelli
We just love animals, especially cats. I think they're beautiful, graceful and mysterious. They get a bad rap for being unaffectionate, but that couldn't be further from the truth. My Maya greets me at the door each day when I come home and sleeps on top of me each night. She's just the most loyal, loving creature you could imagine.
I have a tortoise because he is simple to take care of and because he is important to me... I wrote a hub about him if you would like to check it out.
Have always had dogs, horses, cats, birds, rats....okay, we love animals. They love unconditionally, and show by example how life should be lived -- in the moment without any regrets. And, they are great teachers for children -- responsibility, senstivity, socially, emotionally, physically.... the list goes on and on...
I always want pets in my house for their constant love, understanding, and comfort. Without my pets I wouldn't be where I am today because they are the silent listened who always are there for me when I don't want to talk and be left alone. They are there for me.
First for pity - daughter begged & pleaded - now for love. makes our home happier - a constant presence of unconditional love greets me at the door every evening.
Because I have always had pets, and dogs have been better family to me than most of the humans . I'm also told that I have a naturally nurturing personality and MUST mother on anything that comes my way. This has translated into many spoiled rotten pets, tons of houseplants, and a three-year-old son that I'm trying NOT to spoil but it doesn't always work. I also volunteer at the shelter to love on those critters, I'm the call person for wild birds and such needing rehabbing, and I've spent countless hours with severely abused animals helping them rebuild trust.
I had the dog in my picture for 15 years, bottle-fed him from two days old, and he just died in March a full three years older than the life expectancy of his dominant breed. I actually went a few months without any pets at all, and just adopted another little one that desperately needs some love. My significant other likes to joke that I found the ugliest dog in the shelter to feel sorry for, but her eyes just melted my heart. This dog was surrendered along with 32 other animals that were all being kept in a minivan, right now she has a really rough and discolored coat from being fed nothing but scraps and sleeping in waste her entire life. She adopted me before I ever adopted her, and it's just amazing how quickly she's blossoming when she has the love and attention she's always needed.
Because my wife showed my kid a picture of this really cute dog that was available for next to nothing....
I never had a chance...
Because kitties make excellent napping buddies and amazing foot warmers :-)
Why do you have pet?
because i love animals. i always wanted a pet of my own. over the years we had a few dogs but i had to share them with my brothers and sisters. i always wanted a bunny rabbit, so one day i went to the rabbit rescue and took the cutest bunny home with me. but i would cover her ears when i say she is my pet, because she thinks she is the boss of me
For the company and friendship. I have a dog and she never eaves my side. She is always happy to see me when we are separated and that worth more allot to me...
I love animals and had a dog when I was growing up. She was my best friend. Now, 6 out of my 7 kids have at least one pet. They really help teach responsibility. We have 3 dogs: a rat terrier, border collie mix, and a blood hound. Three cats, a guinia pig, snake and 3 chickens. All live in the house except for the chickens. Whew! I need a bigger house.
My oldest son has a cat and I have a dog. I love animals and have no problems having them in the house. My Mitsy is my best buddy and does everything with me.....even more than my hubby and kids.
I have a 5-year-old 85lb dog and a 3-month-old kitten. The dog was originally to get my husband to take walks but as he won't and I love to walk, my dog Pedro and I walk the trails in the countryside where we live throughout winter and keep each other fit. The kitten was given to us, barely 6 weeks old at an agricultural exhibition in our village. Apparently the family had 15 more in their barn and were looking to give them away. Scampy the kitten might be female but as the vet is still unsure having proclaimed the gender male 4 weeks ago and then changing her mind on Monday, we will wait another 4 weeks until our next checkup to be sure. We hope
In the meantime, Scampy is the name we chose for its gender ambiguity and he/she is endlessly entertaining and affectionate. Much more suited to my husband, the cat whisperer who always worked odd shifts and therefore had cats rather than dogs as pets after leaving his parents home. We love both our "kids" equally and wouldn't trade them for the world.
Unconditional love, laughter and comfort when I'm sad/crying, I have no human children.
I don't know if I have pets or pets have me.
Animals seem to have no fear of me for some reason. I called off a dog that wasn't even mine and it came to me when no one else could control it.
Little bitty not handled criters arn't bothered by me. I removed some frightened hamsters from a shipping create for this pet shop keeper who couldn't get them individually out of the box, She stood there confused as each one crawled onto my hand and I put them in their new cage.
I have pets because they don't argue and they crave the love. They do actually argue in the case of my parrot who has mastered the understanding of the English language
I enjoy the love and companionship they provide. At the end of a long hard day my pets are there waiting for me with nothing but love.

2) does the Bing travel tile slideshowing the same destinations : Budapest, Rio, Paris all day
3) does the sport app and news app show the same photo all day and the same 3-4 news articles.

5) should I keep Bing. I mean a new photo easch day its more than nothing

The news cycle has been dominated by celebrity deaths – Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and even TV pitchman Billy Mays – and President Barack Obama's health care initiative. Obama has used the compliant media to keep the focus to health care, and they are neglecting a critical largest news event that could impact the lives of every man, woman and child for the foreseeable future.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a 1,200-page climate change bill known as the "American Clean Energy and Security Act" sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. and Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., by a narrow 219-212 vote on June 26.
TRENDING: Judge Jeanine Interrupts Show with Direct Message About FBI – People Need to be 'Taken Out in Cuffs'
Prospects for that piece of environmental legislation might have been hurt had journalists reported the scientific censorship taking place in the Obama administration. A veteran of the Environmental Protection Agency strongly questioned the theory of manmade global warming in a report that was then silenced by the administration. That's exactly the opposite of how many journalists handled a similar controversy during the Bush administration.
The news blackout helped the new bill, which has been referred to as the "cap-and-tax bill" by opponents, who point out the massive tax increase that the American public will be burdened with as a result. So contentious is the bill that it inspired the likes of liberal bomb-thrower and columnist Paul Krugman to accuse those same opponents of treason in the op-ed pages of The New York Times.

We used a Teratrax application to do just that a while ago. It did the job but lacked some functionality. Maybe it's much better now.
Also, Microsoft has a Team System for Database Professionals. Never tried it but I've seen it working in a presentation during 2007's TechDays. Seemed quite cool

GreenFasten™ solar panel roof mount hardware, watertight, USA made
The GreenFasten™ - GF1 system utilizes the patented watertight technology EcoFasten Solar® is known for. The flashing is fit with our EPDM rubber bushing and when used with a compatible EcoFasten Solar compression bracket (milled with countersink), a watertight seal is created, which protects the integrity of the roof. Requiring just a single fastener (lag bolt or self-drilling), GreenFasten provides the fastest install in the industry and will not void roofing manufacturer's warranties. Backed by IAPMO certification, GreenFasten delivers a mounting solution for all new or existing (retrofit) composition shingle roofs, and is the most cost-effective solution available. Like all of the solar roof mount solutions in our line of products, GreenFasten is made in the USA using recycled materials.

The QuickBOLT is THE affordable mounting solution for Asphalt Shingle Roofs.

Unlike other Asphalt Mounting systems that require bulky flashing, the QuickBOLT uses a small EPDM washer and is 100% waterproof! Part # 17672
Roof Tech - E Mount AIR
The most compact versatile rail-less PV mounting system under the sun. Instead of placing solar panels on top of long rails, simply attach E Mount AIR to rafters or the roof decking. Once panels are fastened to the roof, the system array is electrically bonded. The result is a visually seamless PV installation that stands the test of time. - Truly "One With The Roof". - PE stamped cert. letters available, UL 2703 Classified, ASTM 2140 fully waterproof.

You haven't installed a tile mount that is easier to install than the Solar Tile Mount manufactured by TRA Snow and Sun. Solar Tile Mount is used on all tile roof profiles: flat, mid, and high. It is made in the USA of aluminum alloy for strength and excellent corrosion resistance. Solar Tile Mount is built to allow more ease in installation with more rise from the tile surface to the rail for better air flow below panels. The adjustable base is longer than most allowing attachment 6" to the left or right to have the bracket in the base of the pan of the tile and still fasten to the rafter. Solar Tile Mount is adjustable for counter batten systems from ¾" to 3". The horizontal rail is directly above base fasteners giving greater uplift resistance than any other system. For superior waterproofing apply TRA Snow and Sun's butyl backed VersaFlash aluminum flashing. No tile flashing is needed on top of the tile for greater labor and material cost savings.

Both the XD/UD and LD/MD rails feature single tool assembly with the revolutionary patented RAD™ Lock-in-Place bolt for fast and secure module clamping.

On This Day, Feb. 27, 1973 – American Indian Movement Occupies Wounded Knee
1973 – The American Indian Movement occupied Wouned Knee in South Dakota.
On that winter day in 1973, a large group of armed American Indians reclaimed Wounded Knee in the name of the Lakota Nation.
During the preceding months of the Wounded Knee occupation, civil war brewed among the Oglala people. There became a clear-cut between the traditional Lakota people and the more progressive minded government supporters. The traditional people wanted more independence from the Federal Government, as well as honoring of the 1868 Sioux treaty. According to the 1868 treaty, the Black Hills of South Dakota still belonged to the Sioux people, and the traditional people wanted the Federal Government to honor their treaty by returning the sacred Black Hills to the Sioux people.
Another severe problem on the Pine Ridge reservation was the strip mining of the land. The chemicals used by the mining operations were poisoning the land and the water. People were getting sick, and children were being born with birth defects. The tribal government and its supporters encouraged the strip mining and the sale of the Black Hills to the Federal Government.
The young AIM warriors, idealistic and defiant, were like a breath of fresh air to the Indian people, and their ideas quickly caught on. When AIM took control of Wounded Knee, over seventy-five different Indian Nations were represented, with more supporters arriving daily from all over the country. Soon United States Armed Forces in the form of Federal Marshals, and the National Guard surrounded the large group. All roads to Wounded Knee were cut off, but still, people slipped through the lines, pouring into the occupied area.
The forces inside Wounded Knee demanded an investigation into misuse of tribal funds; the goon squad's violent aggression against people who dared speak out against the tribal government. In addition they wanted the Senate Committee to launch an investigation into the BIA (Bureau if Indian Affairs) and the Department of the Interior regarding their handling of the affairs of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The warriors also demanded an investigation into the 371 treaties between the Native Nations and the Federal Government, all of which had been broken by the United States.
The warriors that occupied Wounded Knee held fast to these demands and refused to lay down arms until they were met.
During the Wounded Knee occupation, they would live in their traditional manner, celebrating a birth, a marriage and they would mourn the death of two of their fellow warriors inside Wounded Knee. AIM member, Buddy Lamont was hit by M16 fire and bled to death inside Wounded Knee.
AIM member, Frank Clearwater was killed by heavy machine gun fire, inside Wounded Knee.
After 71 days, the Siege at Wounded Knee had come to an end; with the government making nearly 1200 arrests. But this would only mark the beginning of what was known as the "Reign of Terror" instigated by the FBI and the BIA. During the three years following Wounded Knee, 64 tribal members were unsolved murder victims, 300 harassed and beaten, and 562 arrests were made, and of these arrests only 15 people were convicted of any crime. A large price to pay for 71 days as a free people on the land of one's ancestors.
1801 – The city of Washington, DC, was placed under congressional jurisdiction.
1827 – New Orleans held its first Mardi Gras celebration.
1883 – Oscar Hammerstein patented the first cigar-rolling machine.
Hammerstein, the grandfather of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, made ends meet initially by working at a cigar factory on Pearl Street. He worked his way up to become a cigar maker himself, and also founded the U.S Tobacco Journal. Hammerstein would eventually become the owner of at least 80 patents, with most of them being related to the machines he made for the cigar-making process. Hammerstein's most well-known contribution to the cigar-making process is adding an air-suctioning component to the traditional cigar-making machines, and the component would hold down the tobacco leaves firmly so that they could be cut more cleanly.
1896 – The "Charlotte Observer" published a picture of an X-ray photograph made by Dr. H.L. Smith. The photograph showed a perfect picture of all the bones of a hand and a bullet that Smith had placed between the third and fourth fingers in the palm.
1922 – The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 19th Amendment that guaranteed women the right to vote.
1933 – The Reichstag, Germany's parliament building in Berlin, was set afire. The Nazis accused Communist for the fire.
1939 – The U.S. Supreme Court outlawed sit-down strikes.
1949 – Chaim Weizmann became the first Israeli president.
1951 – The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, limiting Presidents to two terms.
1974 – "People" magazine was first issued by Time-Life (later known as Time-Warner).
1982 – Wayne B. Williams was convicted of murdering two of the 28 black children and young adults whose bodies were found in Atlanta, GA, over a two-year period.
1986 – The U.S. Senate approved the telecast of its debates on a trial basis.
1990 – The Exxon Corporation and Exxon Shipping were indicted on five criminal counts in reference to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
1991 – President George H.W. Bush announced live on television that "Kuwait is liberated."
1997 – In Ireland, divorce became legal.
1998 – Britain's House of Lords agreed to give a monarch's first-born daughter the same claim to the throne as any first-born son. This was the end to 1,000 years of male preference.
