The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is in the business to raise money. In order to do this, they must extend the definition of what it means to be a "hate group." It's similar to the phrase "One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter." It all depends on who's defining the terms.
Each year the SPLC issues a report on hate groups in America. Each year the list gets longer. "Last week, the group released its latest intelligence report, titled 'The Patriot Movement Explodes.' The listing includes the Tenth Amendment Center, Oath Keepers and WND."
The SPLC has gone from tracking the movements of violent racists, skinhead groups, and a brief resurgence of the KKK that number in the hundreds to creating hysteria over mainstream value voters. If you believe in the Tenth Amendment, you must be part of a hate group. If you say President Obama is wrong on this or that issue, then you must be responding out of racial hatred. Am I exaggerating? You be the judge from this report by Jack Minor at WND:
Mark Potek, senior fellow with the SPLC and editor of the report, said the growth of what is described as the radical right was fueled by "economic dislocation, a proliferation of demonizing conspiracy theories, the changing racial makeup of America, and the prospect of four more years under a black president who many on the far right view as an enemy to their country."
With its new definition of what constitutes a hate group, the SPLC has become a fund-raising machine. It's no wonder that the SPLC is flush with cash.[1] Ultimately, the tactic is to strike fear in middle-America so the checks keep rolling in. Most communities don't see skinheads or even KKKers, so the SPLC needs new visible enemies.
According to the SPLC, hate has gone mainstream, so you better send a donation before these "haters" come and get you, too! The SPLC is a fund raising industry designed to silence conservatives who want their country back, to hold elected officials accountable to their Constitutional oath, and to uphold certain moral values. There's not much money in fighting real hate groups now that only a few of the real haters are still around, so the SPLC needs a bigger, more menacing group of haters — your next door neighbors who attend the church down the street! Muslim extremists who kill soldiers in the name of Allah on an army base or plan to blow up the streets of New York City to kill and maim Americans are of little concern when there are bigger fish to land.

Traveller Reviews of: 5 Day Beijing Tour Package - Bus Tour A (without hotel)
5 Day Beijing Tour Package - Bus Tour A (without hotel) Price from: $96
Written by Yumi
Added: 2012-06-27Wonderful time in Beijing! We visited most representative attractions in Beijing. The huge Badaling Great Wall left us good impression. But before climbing this Great Wall, you'd better wear comfortable shoes. Second day in Forbidden City, I was addicted into its charming. I have never seen any architecture like it. I love this 5 days Beijing bus tour package deeply, thank you for the kind assistance with our trip.

The NFL wheels keep turning, so we are here to capture the particularly dope sights along the way. Here are some choice week 3 highlights thus far, with more to follow.
Props to SB Nation, Guyism, and @BubbaProg for the GIFs, and CosbySweaters for the S/G
Motor and Music City Miracles:
What has now become an instant classic of sorts got started with a re-enactment of the Titans' famed "Music City Miracle play from 12 years ago, shown below. This was so good, it merited it's own post. Country music style, we'll be playing this Over and Over Again more than Nelly and Tim McGraw. However, the dramatics were ultimately countered by the Lions in a huge way. After Matthew Stafford left due to injury, backup Shaun Hill found Calvin Johnson with 20 seconds left--a play that came after a negated turnover--to cut the lead to 7. The Lions then recovered the ensuing onside kick, and coverted this improbable Hail Mary as time expired to send the game into overtime. Detroit's Titus Young was the hero who made this ridiculous grab.
After a WILD game, the Titans walked away with the OT victory.
Jamal Chaarles Goes Fast
91 Yards later, J-Chaarles finds the end zone. The Chiefs offensive leader his having a career day, rushing for well over 200 yards.
Sanchez Dings Tebow
Passive-aggressive, much? Sh*t should be on BRAVO.
Trent Richardson Forgets to Get Tackled
Seems to be a trend, lately. This guy is a WORKHORSE.
Pierre Thomas Makes Some Magic
The Saints pouring on the offense is kind of like frathouse bathroom vomit--you can count on it being there every single weekend.
Your Weekly Jay Cutler Madness
Trying to rebound from last Thursday's heinous lost against Green Bay, Jay Cutler got right back into the INT game. Then, sh*t got wild.
Alex Smith Doesn't Quite Get There
It's been that kind of afternoon for the Niners.
Aaaaand, Tony Romo
"Anything you could do I could do better" -- Tony Romo, to Jay Cutler
Jared Odrick Gets the Sack, Channels His Inner Pee-Wee Herman
Jared Odrick's a tad bigger than Pee Wee Herman, but this is a dance that transcends all shapes and sizes

See: Flycheck (a modern alternative to flymake)
As of September 2013, the jslint package available via npm (see below) is based on a seven months old JSLint, which is outdated. This may have changed by now. Be sure to double check.
1. Install Node.js.
2. From the command line of your OS, install JSLint with npm, the package manager for Node.js:
$ npm -g install jslint
("jslint" needs to be part of the file name!):@ECHO OFF node "%APPDATA%"\npm\node_modules\jslint\bin\jslint.js >"%TEMP%"\jslint.out 2>&1 %* TYPE "%TEMP%"\jslint.out
3. Test JSLint (on Windows use ~/.emacs.d/jslint.bat
$ jslint No files specified. [...]
4. Install flymake-jslint and its dependency flymake-easy.
5. Add to ~/.emacs
(require 'flymake-jslint) (add-hook 'js-mode-hook 'flymake-jslint-load)
6. Customize flymake-jslint options. On Windows set flymake-jslint-command
to: ~/.emacs.d/jslint.bat
7. Restart Emacs to make sure that everything loads fine.
8. Test by opening a flawed JavaScript file.
and inspect the *Messages*
runs in EShell.flymake-jslint-args
.I had trouble getting jshint-mode working properly, so I created a simple way to use JSHint from the command-line: flymake-node-jshint.
– Henrik Jegbjerg Hansen <firstname.lastname@example.com>
You can do
$ npm -g install jshint
and then install flymake-jshint using marmalade (http://marmalade-repo.org/). You may need to do the following in /usr/local/bin:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/node/0.6.6/lib/node_modules/csslint/cli.js
and then put (add-to-list 'exec-path "/usr/local/bin") somwhere in your .emacs.
-Dave Dreisigmeyer
First, you will need to install Rhino, and download jslint.js for Rhino [1]. I've got it located in ~/soft/jslint, and you will want to update the code below to match where you've put it.
Next you will want to create a file called flymake-jslint.el on your LoadPath like the following
(require 'flymake) (defun flymake-jslint-init () (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create-temp-buffer-copy 'flymake-create-temp-inplace)) (local-file (file-relative-name temp-file (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)))) (list "rhino" (list (expand-file-name "~/soft/jslint/jslint.js") local-file)))) (setq flymake-allowed-file-name-masks (cons '(".+\\.js$" flymake-jslint-init flymake-simple-cleanup flymake-get-real-file-name) flymake-allowed-file-name-masks)) (setq flymake-err-line-patterns (cons '("^Lint at line \\([[:digit:]]+\\) character \\([[:digit:]]+\\): \\(.+\\)$" nil 1 2 3) flymake-err-line-patterns)) (provide 'flymake-jslint)
and import it from your DotEmacs like so:
(require 'flymake-jslint) (add-hook 'js-mode-hook (lambda () (flymake-mode t)))
You can control options of JSLint by using special comments in your source code which are described in the documentation [2]. For example, the following is the same as using the recommended options on jslint.com, and also the assume a browser option. It also defines the name MochiKit, which is imported elsewhere.
/*jslint browser: true, undef: true, eqeqeq: true, nomen: true, white: true */ /*global MochiKit */
Seems like you really want (flymake-mode 1)
in that hook, not (flymake-mode t)
. According to the documentation, to turn on the minor mode explicitly requires that the arg be positive, not non-nil. --DinoChiesa
If you run the above in a persistent server on v8 instead of invoking rhino every time, it goes about twice as fast. Server code with instructions is available at http://github.com/keturn/lintnode
JavaScript syntax checking using spidermonkey. This also detects object trailing comma like:
var obj = {
a: 1,
b: 2,
}; // this line is highlighted.
You'll need Karl's JavaScriptMode, spidermonkey 1.5 or greater and emacs 22.
There's another implementation of Flymake JavaScript mode that sits on top of the Rhino engine.
I have some problems with this one. I assume it is a problem with the path to rhino.js and env.js, but I am not sure. I have placed those file in the folder c:/emacs/rhino-related/ which I mention in rhino.js (see below, is this correct?):
// Where you store your files var project_folder = 'c:/emacs/rhino-related/'; // Browser environment wrapper over Rhino load(project_folder + 'env.js'); // For DOM constructing window.location = project_folder + 'blank.html'; var my_script = arguments[0]; // If DOM ready window.onload = function(){ // Avoid recursive inclusion if ("rhino_flymake.js" != my_script) { load(my_script); } }
I get strange errors, like:
parsed 'Exception in thread "Thread-0" org.mozilla.javascript.WrappedException:
Wrapped java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: c',
no line-err-info
It looks like Rhino can not take care of the c: in the path. Anyone who understands what is happening? – LennartBorgman
I do not have a Windows box to verify the fix below, but according to some forum posts, you should declare the path in scheme file:///C:/path/to/file
var project_folder = 'file:///c:/emacs/rhino-related/';
– Nyuhuhuu
Thanks Nyuhuhuu, that made it work on Windows.
Before I fixed the issue you speak of, I had to fix an apparent problem with 'compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist' in 'flymake.el'. For details on that, please see this post on gnu.emacs.help.
After that was fixed, I was able to get the Java Rhino process running on target with this (using the Windows build of Emacs, on Windows XP):
var project_folder = 'c:\\Progra~1\\emacs\site\\rhino-web-browser-js-environment\\';
Then in my 'flymake-js-init' function definition, I have this:
(list "java" (list "-jar" "c:/Progra~1/rhino1_6R7/js.jar" "c:/Progra~1/emacs/site/rhino-web-browser-js-environment/rhino_flymake.js" local-file))))
That said, after said success I ran into other problems, apparently unrelated to any of my previous fixes and configurations, down the road. Please see the last half of the third comment on this post on gnu.emacs.help.
It would be very cool if this could be made to work. If we can figure it out, we could make a nice how-to on this that I bet a lot of people would benefit from.
-- ChristopherMBalz
I get a lot of errors on the first line, like
- Context.Java(1757) - MemberBox.java(187) etc.
That is this?
There are two modules; both allow you to use JSHINT as the flymake tool for .js buffers on windows.
The first, flymake-for-jslint-for-wsh.el, requires you to download JSHINT, modify it slightly, save it, and set a variable in your .emacs pointing to the modified script.
A newer version downloads and modifies JSHINT at runtime. This version is also available on the Marmalade Repo as fly-jshint-wsh.
A sample of using jslint-for-wsh.js as a "compile" command in emacs:

Having said that let me give you the hypothetical situation. A friend of mine has a girl who is gonna go back home for a month and he'll be going with her for part of the trip. He'll be flying with her to L.A. and then they'll part ways. He wants to give her a playlist of songs onto her Ipod. All of the songs that he plans to give her are mp3's on his powerbook. Can he simply plug her Ipod into his powerbook, connect to his itune with the manual transfer checked and simply drag the playlist onto the ipod? Thanks. "My friend" will really appreciate the assistance.

Favourite Settings - Or #2
I used to be strictly historicals and found contemporaries to be odd. Then again, it was 1989 and the contemporaries that were being written would have suited women from the 1950s.
JAK introduced me to contemporaries that I could read without gagging. The men were alpha but they were madly in love with their heroine and there didn't seem to be a hang-up about sex. Cool.
I pretty much stuck to this formula for a few years because of university and job searches. I'm thinking it was Dream Man by Linda Howard that brought me to contemporaries in a big way. I also remember branching out into Harlequin and Silhouette at the time and I tell you, there were some amazing books on just two people falling in love. Or hurting each other. Or both. I found many authors but, the top was Suzanne Brockmann. There was something about her heroes that were so desperate and vulnerable that I was thrilled whenever I saw a new title by her.
Nowadays, it really depends on what I am looking for. I'm not sure I can do the small town romances in contemporaries anymore although I try to think 'never say never'. I enjoy contemps set in big cities. I *love* paranormals because they give a more gothic look to cities and I like that.
I can't do books set in France. Not sure why, they just bother me. It might be the names and the quazi-french accent. Oh, and Florida. I equate Florida to old age and I don't find swamps sexy. Then there is the fact that whenever I have gone there I have run into those huge reptiles - crocs, alligators, whatever. I just couldn't live in a place where I could get my leg snapped off because I nodded off in the backyard.
And y'all know I like my sleep.
Anyone else catching the pattern here? It's going to take me weeks to answer these questions!

Is it just FL that you don't like reading romances in or is it the south? I love romances set in the south and I'm all for small town romance novels. That could be because I grew up in a small town though. Anyway, I don't see romances set in FL too often. I think I've only read one and it was set in the Keys. I liked the Keys setting but I don't think I'd like a main land FL setting, because whenever I think of FL I think Disney World or Sea World. And yeah, old people too.

Oh, good question. I think I do enjoy books set in the south for the most part. Horrible to say but I just remembered I don't really like books set in New Orleans - now it would be worse but before there was always the idea of voodoo - remember the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - didn't like the feel of the movie.
I enjoy the sweltering hot days that are described in the south and the different lifestyle so yeah, it's must Fl and New Orleans for the most part.

Hey Cindy,
What about historicals in another European country? Like Russia?
And what about Chicago and NY of yore? I'm trying to find a good western or more set in the civil war.
As a teenager, I loved the Anne of Green Gables series. I liked the pioneering spirit of the islanders, and the small town feel of it, even though this is not a romance novel.
Hmmm ... I'm beginning tosound like a serial lover. - 11:32 AM
- CindyS said...
Ag - I've never read a historical romance in Russia. Can you recommend any?
Heather Graham Possesse (sp?) used to have a series of Civil War books but they are older and I don't know if they have aged well.
Oh! I read a Lowell book called Only Him I think and it was definitely western - I enjoyed it although it has those melodramatic moments that some people don't like. Me? I like ;)
Have you read Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare - not Civil War but excellent. - 8:42 PM

Come See Norwich's Newest Landmark (10-15-13) Saturday, October 19 at 10 AM, the David Ruggles Memorial Freedom Courtyard will be dedicated. The Norwich Freedom Bell, the first and only bell in the United States commemorating the Emancipation Proclamation, will be officially turned over to the city of Norwich. Come early for best parking. The ceremony will last two hours and feature local dignitaries, music by the Norwich Free Academy chorus, and the first ringing of the bell from atop it's beautiful, custom designed arch. This is a great event for our city and our nation. Dog Speaks Bell A Norwich resident who's wind chimes were included on Ring Out Rose City reports she bought a copy of the CD and hurried home to play it. From the first time she listened to it and every time since, her little dog barks loudly when each of the bells ring, accept for his owner's wind chimes. Those the little guy listens to quietly. Let Freedom Ring From Our State Capitol July 4 Please join us at the south entrance of the State Capitol Building, 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT. 06106, for the ringing of Connecticut's Replica Liberty Bell. The ceremony begins at 1:45 PM and will last about half an hour. Parking on the Capitol grounds is limited so on street parking is recommended. • Program * Pledge of Allegiance. Prayer by Swaranjit Singh of the Sikh Temple in Southington.

Bells Show We Care (5-5-13) Walkers completing this year's three and a half mile, "CROP Walk", were directed to the official Friends of the Norwich Bells bell in front of Lee Memorial Methodist Church to, "Ring for the hungry." Event coordinator, David Henricks really got into the idea and our artist, Scott Baldwin had just completed some remarkable imbellishment and stabilizing of the bell and stand. "I think I'm to tired to ring the bell", said one walker. "Got to ring it or you have to go around again", teased Kevin Harkins. It turned out to be a very successful opportunity at building our relationship with the community, but the real meaning came toward the end of the walk. "Just ring it one time", admonished Mr. Henricks after a walker would set in a clanging. Then, a walker came in saying that there were two people at the hospital. Apparently, a participant had had an asthma attack and another walker helped them get into the emergency room which was just a couple hundred yards off the route. The walker approached our table, grabbed the bell rope firmly and rang, then rang, then rang again. "Just ring it once", Mr. Henricks instructed. "No", said the walker, "I'm ringing for the people at the hospital too". And you wonder why we love bells. ABA Visits Bell Town. (4-29-13) The 101st semi annual meeting of the New England Chapter of the American Bell Association International INC. was held on April 27 in East Hampton, Connecticut. The gathering at Angelico's Lake House Restaurant and hosted by Friends of the Norwich Bells was a resounding success by all accounts. Members and guests were entertained by Norwich resident and First State Troubadour, Tom Callinan just prior to the noon lunch. The afternoon featured a visit by CT. State Senator Art Linares who spoke about the importance of the bell manufacturing industry to our state. "The fire did not destroy your spirit", Linares told Bevin Brother CEO, Mat Bevin, who was the afternoon's keynote speaker. The Bevin bell factory was destroyed in a May, 2012 blaze, and along with it, nearly all the company's machinery, products and records. Mat Bevin gave a compelling account of the Bevin family business and bell making in East Hampton highlighting the relevance of manufacturing, entrepreneurship and jobs that have made, "the American dream", possible for so many. To listen to Mr. Bevin's entertaining and provocative talk, go to the, "Learn More", section of this page and click on, "Mat Bevin at 101st NECABA". 3 Years in the Making (4-16-13) Sunshine drenched the steps of the Central Baptist Church in downtown Norwich as Pastor Nancy Forsston cut the ribbon on the first bundle of Ring Out Rose City CD's that went on sale today around the city. "This bell rings in the key of D", said First State Troubadour Tom Callinan, quickly tuning his guitar to match the tone of the bell so he could begin playing as soon as the bell struck ten times. "There are bell that bing, and bells that bong", the small crowd sung while television cameras rolled and Tom's, The Bells of Norwich, announced the opening of the Tuesday press conference. "So who's going to buy these CD's: asked the season reporter from the local CBS affiliate. FNB president, Kevin Harkins, didn't miss a beat… "Everyone", he replied. Director, Richard Hamar, Treasurer, Miriam Mills, and our resident artist, Scott Baldwin spoke to reporters while church members and visitors who had read of the upcoming release in local papers purchased CD's and joined in the magic of the moment. We wish to thank everyone in the city who has helped us see this exciting project to fruition. We are also very appreciative of the work the media has done to help publicize what has come to be known as, "The bell project". The Bulletin The Day The Reminder The Norwich Rose The Shoreline Times W.I.C.H. Radio W.F.S.B. TV NBC Connecticut 30 * And others. State Senator Linares to Address NECABA CT.

The state's youngest republican state senator will voice his support for Bevin Brothers and the importance of bell manufacturing in the town. Let Freedom Ring Again on July 4 (3-26-12) The Office of Legislative Management has notified Friends of the Norwich Bells that it's request to coordinate the ringing of the state's Replica Liberty Bell at the capitol on Independence Day has been approved. This will be the second year our group has sponsored the ceremony which will take place at 2 PM on July 4th at the south entrance of the capitol building. Truxton Brodhead, 78 of East Lime was elated to hear the news and will ring the bell again this year. Brodhead is a direct descendant of George Reed, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The July 4 ceremony is open to the public. Norwich Commemorates 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, 1-1-2013 Nearly two years of planning will culminate in the grand celebration throughout our city this coming Tuesday, New Years Day. The event will recreate the events of January 2, 1863 when Norwich put on one of the biggest salutes to President Lincoln's proclamation anywhere. From noon until 1 o'clock, bells will ring continually across Norwich as was ordered by Mayor Greene that day. Shortly after 1 PM, there will be a one hundred cannon fire tribute at the harbor, and at 2 PM, citizens will gather for a special program at the Slater Auditorium. Below is the most accurate list available of locations where tower bells and carillons can be heard. The EPCC indicates there may be additional churches and organizations planning to ring, but that these are the ones that have confirmed plans to participate. For up-to-the-minute information on New Years Day, we suggest following local media websites, or tune to W.I.C.H. 1310 AM in Norwich. .. .. .. .. .. Grace Episcopal Church (Yantic) Sacred Heart Church of Norwich Town Park Congregational Church St. Patrick Cathedral Norwich City Hall National Spiritualist Church St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church (Greeneville) Taftville Congregational Church Yantic Fire Department Sacred Heart Church of Taftville Central Fire Station St. Joseph Church (Cliff Street) Norwich Freedom Bell (in front of City Hall) Central Baptist Church Evans Memorial AME Zion Church Central Baptist Bell Rings Again One of the city's great bells is ringing out again. The old Paul Revere Iron Works bell at Central Baptist Church sounds every hour from 7 AM to 10 PM after falling silent for four and a half years. The nineteenth century bell became wedged at an unmanageable angle during Norwich's 350th anniversary celebration in 2008, but is tolling once again. Planning Continues for January 1 Bell Ringing At the October 22 community meeting in City Hall, details were firmed up for the city-wide ringing of bells on New Years Day, the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation. The EPCC will be contacting individual churches, fire companies, schools and other facilities to confirm which plan to participate and which will need help from volunteers on the big day. On January 1, bells throughout Norwich will ring for one hour starting at 12 noon, recreating the celebration of 1863. Word has come that Central Baptist Church expects their bell to be ringable in time for the commemoration. We have also learned that Evans Memorial AME Zion Church will be having a carillon installed in time for the event. The next community planning meeting is tentatively scheduled for November 13. We'll post the details as soon as available. Towns and cities throughout Connecticut are also being asked to join in the celebration by ringing their bells for at least one minute at noon on January 1, 2013. Push Back for CD Release Date While production of the master cd is expected to be completed in a few days, a financial challenge is delaying the scheduled release. Friends of the Norwich Bells need $1700 to pay for having the first run of cd's made and packaged. If you know of someone who would like to help us with this issue or a business that would like to be advertised on the Ring Out Rose City album, please contact us immediately. Over 100 of Norwich's bells, big and small, will be featured on this full length, beautiful release that makes a really nice holiday gift. The city's old fire bells, trolley bells, church and factory bells and more are included on this remarkable audio collection you will treasure for years. The album will sell for $10, and advance orders are welcome. 3d Annual Leffingwell Museum Ring October 20 Friends of the Norwich Bells will once again join with the Norwich Lions Club in ringing bells on the lawn of the Leffingwell House Museum for the fall chocolate ball and annual open house at the historic home. Come tour this fascinating old home, have a sweet treat and something warm to drink, and stop and ring a bell for a few minutes. The museum is located at 348 Washington Street at the intersection of the Rt. 2 connector and Harland Road. We will be ringing from noon to 5 o'clock. Second Meeting Scheduled to Plan Jan. 1 Bell Ringing The second in a series of community meetings to plan the January 1, 2013 city-wide bell ringing has been scheduled for 7 PM on Monday, October 22, in room 335 of City Hall. A small group met on September 22. A variety of things were touched on, with most of the discussion pivoting on getting children involved in the event, including the ringing of hand bells at various places around the city. The October meeting will focus on getting churches and other organizations on board and signing up volunteers to help ring tower bells on the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation. Representative of churches, fire companies, schools and other institutions that have bells and carillons are encouraged to attend the October meeting, as well as interested Norwich residents. Excitement is mounting for the New Years Day event which will replicate the celebration of 1863 that included the ringing of bells throughout Norwich for one hour and the firing of cannons. An effort is afoot to repair some of the bells that are not currently ringable in time for the commemoration. Meanwhile, the Verdin Company has been approached about hooking up microphones and loud speakers to broadcast the ringing of those tower bells located inside structure, such as thePanema Mill, Falls Mill, and Greeneville Fire bells. Weekend Marks Turning Point in the Civil War On September 22 and 23, Norwich, Connecticut will mark the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the bloodiest single day in the nation's history which would result in President Lincoln's release of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. At noon on Saturday, ceremonies in front of City Hall will honor native sons who were among twenty three thousand casualties at the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. At 1-30 that afternoon, a community meeting to plan the January 1, 2013 city-wide ringing of bells will take place at Christ Episcopal Church on Washington Street. And at 3 PM on Sunday, the twenty two voices of Take Note! Will give their first concert ever in Norwich at St. Mary's Catholic Church on Central Avenue. All events are free to the public. "We are working on getting an exact count of how many soldiers from Norwich perished," said Norwich City Historian, Dale Plummer, who chairs the Emancipation Proclamation Commemoration Committee. "Record keeping wasn't always the best", Plummer added. "Some of the wounded died days, even months later, and some local boys signed on with regiments from surrounding states and were not recognized as Connecticut soldiers", said Plummer. While casualties on both sides at Antietam were staggering, Union troops ultimately prevailed. Five days later, on September 22, 1862, President Lincoln publicly announced the Emancipation Proclamation. When the final document was signed into law on January 1, 1863, paving the way to freedom for African-American slaves, Norwich celebrated with the firing of cannons and the ringing of bells throughout the city for one hour. Saturday's program on the steps of City Hall will include an address by State Representative, Ernest Hewett, a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln portrayer Lewis Dube, meditations lead by local clergy, and ringing of the Norwich Freedom Bell. In the event of inclement weather, ceremonies will be moved to City Council Chambers on the third floor of City Hall. At 1-30 that afternoon, a community meeting sponsored by Friends of the Norwich Bells will take up planning of the New Years Day city-wide ringing of bells. Churches, schools, fire companies and other institutions with bells as well as residents wishing to help ring them are urged to attend. The gathering will take place in the Pine Room at Christ Episcopal Church, 78 Washington Street. At 3 PM on Sunday, "sweet sounds from the quiet corner", will fill the sanctuary of St. Mary's Church at 70 Central Avenue. Take Note!, an a capella chorus comprised of singers from all walks of life, will give their first performance ever in Norwich. Spiritual, ethnic and patriotic songs for all ages will be featured with refreshments to follow in the church's fellowship hall. The concert is free to all; however, generous donations will be thankfully received to help build the Freedom Bell Tower and Memorial Courtyard adjacent to City Hall. The Emancipation Proclamation Commemoration Committee is coordinating Norwich's honoring of that historic document on it's one hundred fiftieth anniversary. In June, the nation's first bell commissioned to celebrate the proclamation was cast at Howard T. Brown Park. Gail Adams, Director, U.S. Department of the Interior, said that Norwich was one of the first cities in the country to organize a community commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War.

Meeting to Plan January 1 Bell Ringing This year's annual general meeting of Friends of the Norwich Bells will be a community gathering to plan the city-wide bell ringing on January 1. The meeting is open to the public and will take place at 1-30 PM on Saturday, September 22 in the Pine Room at Christ Episcopal Church, 78 Washington Street in Norwich. All churches and other organizations interested in participating in the event on the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation are encouraged to send a representative to the meeting. Individuals wishing to participate or volunteer to ring bells are also asked to attend. The gathering will follow ceremonies at noon at City Hall commemorating President Lincoln's presentation to his Cabinet of the proclamation's first draft in 1862. The First Shall Be Last Take 6 was a resounding success at Grace Episcopal Church in Yantic. On August 22nd, after numerous attempts, we got a perfect recording of the church's four bells change ringing by church member, Bill Small. The church was the first one we tried to record at back in 2010 as production began for our Ring Out Rose City c.d. Repeated attempts fell prey to the wind that always seems to be blowing up on that hill. Finally, we got it, and it now appears all recordings for the album have been completed. Stop the PressesKevin Harkins says he may be willing to delay release of the Ring Out Rose City Album if what we're hearing is true. Word has come that Central Baptist Church is considering signing a contract with the Verdin Company to repair the supports for it's historic bell. The bell was last rung in 2009 for the 350th anniversary of the founding of the city of Norwich when it became wedged at a peculiar angle and could no longer sound. Harkins says he will be monitoring the situation closely, and if repairs can be affected quickly, it would be well worth holding production of the c.d. for a couple of weeks or so, in order that a recording of the magnificent bell can be included. "Even if we don't get the album out until the end of October, it will still be on store shelves in time for the holidays", Harkins said. ABA Supports Norwich Freedom Bell The EPCC reports it has received a donation in the amount of $1030 from the Heartland Bell Club by American Bell Association Members in the U.S. and Brittan. The continued support of bell collectors and aficionados far and wide for America's first Emancipation Proclamation Bell sends a resounding message. For as long as there are bells to be rung, they will ring out for freedom. Bells in School A home schooling group based in Gales Ferry is preparing an autumn curriculum about bells. Some of the children attended the casting of the Norwich Freedom Bell in June. The EPCC and several other organizations including local churches have offered help with the program, including giving tours of bells in the area and opportunities for the children to ring them. FNB is ready to support this program in any way we can. Want to Learn About Bells? Call a Plummer! When the New England Chapter of the American Bell Association meets on September 29 in New Hampshire, members will be treated to a program about Paul Revere Bells, by our very own, Dale Plummer. Perhaps it was the bell that rang in the church tower when this great American made his famous midnight ride that inspired Revere and his son to see to the manufacture of bells that still ring today. Norwich has several. But our City Historian isn't letting on what he has in store for anxious attendees in September. Call us for car pooling, and we'll have updates on the meeting on the website soon. Freedom to Sing Again Music from the Quiet Corner comes to Norwich for the first time ever, Sunday, September 23, 3 PM, at St. Mary's Church, 70 Central Avenue. Take-Note, The 22 voice accapella choir will perform a collection of patriotic, spiritual and ethnics songs to raise funds for the Freedom Memorial Courtyard at City Hall. The concert is free and great for all ages. Your thoughtful donation will be thankfully received. Checks should be made out to, "City of Norwich EPCC". Refreshments will follow the one hour show. As Tolled At the Pumps Our friend, Scott, says he stopped to fuel his vehicle at one of our local gas stations on a recent, sweltering afternoon. While there, he was approached by a car load of folks from out of town who asked if there was a place they could go to pick up some souvenirs of Norwich. "Maybe some shot glasses, or bells?" one visitor suggested? By the way… remember when every time you'd pull into a gas station, a bell would ring? One for the Company Picnic Q. What do you get when the president of Friends of the Norwich Bells becomes president of the Norwich Lions Club and goes to a baseball game at Dodd Stadium? A. Lions and Tigers and bells, Oh My! Liberty to Ring Out from State Capitol Truxton Brodhead, 77, of Niantic will ring Connecticut's replica Liberty Bell at the State Capitol at 2 PM on July 4. Brodhead is a veteran and a direct descendent of George Read, one of fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Ceremonies begin at 1-45 PM at the south entrance of the State Capitol, and are sponsored by Friends of the Norwich Bells. "I was mortified to learn that the bell wasn't being run on July 4th any more", said Kevin Harkins, President of Friends of the Norwich Bells. "I read a newspaper article that said the event had been cancelled due to, ""lack of interest"", and I went nuts", Harkins said. "I thought to myself, where is our sense of history… where is our sense of patriotism… where is our sense?" Harkins added. Harkins's research led him to Truxton Brodhead, who had brought a dozen or so Boy Scouts to the capitol on July 4, 2004-2010 to ring the bell. Brodhead said he had cancelled the event in 2011 because nobody wanted to show up. Harkins said that he didn't care if anyone showed up or not… "If it's God's will, that bell is going to be rung on July 4." Mr. Brodhead heartily agreed to ring the bell if arrangements could be made. Upon confirming that no other organizations planned to ring the replica Liberty Bell at the capitol, Mr. Harkins contacted the Office of Legislative Management. He submitted the necessary paperwork requesting his organization be permitted to perform the ceremony on Independence Day. "It must have been somebody's will because we received approval early this afternoon", Harkins said on Friday. Connecticut's replica of the original Liberty Bell is one of fifty-five commissioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1950 and distributed to all state capitols and territories. One went to the District of Columbia and one remained in Annecy, France where the bells were manufactured. Each replica weighs over a ton and sounds the exact same note as the original Liberty Bell. In 1963, a joint resolution of Congress authorized the Let Freedom Ring National Bell Ringing Ceremony. On Wednesday, July 4, porters will wheel the big bell to the south doorway of the capitol. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Truxton Brodhead will ring Connecticut's Liberty Bell thirteen times in recognition of the thirteen original colonies. Interested members of the public are welcome to attend. Friends of the Norwich Bells, founded in 2010, is a group of citizens promoting the preservation and enjoyment of bells and bell ringing in The Rose City. Several of the group's members also belong to the New England Chapter of the American Bell Association and were involved in the casting of the nation's first Emancipation Proclamation Bell that took place on June 15.br> Fire Destroys Bevin Brothers Factory Bell enthusiasts and collectors nationwide are expressing sadness at word of Saturday night's fire that destroyed the factory of the country's oldest company manufacturing just bells. Bevin Brothers, operating continuously since 1832, held a prominent place in the history of East Hampton, CT., widely known as, "Bell Town, U.S.A. "We are mortified at the news", said Kevin Harkins, President of Friends of the Norwich Bells. "We are grateful that no lives were lost", said Harkins, "but many lives will be affected by this tragedy, and our prayers go out to those families." Representatives of the local bell group accompanied City Historian, Dale Plummer, on a visit to Bevin in 2010 to learn about the company's products and it's history. Since then, Bevin Brothers has produced ornamental bells for Grace Episcopal Church in Yantic, and 150th Anniversary Civil War key chain bells which are on sale at the Slater Museum. Harkins says he had just spoken to a Bevin sales representative Friday about ordering bells commemorating the visit of the Freedom Schooner Amistad to Norwich for Freedom Weekend, June 14-16. "These are wonderful people I knew and dealt with personally", Harkins added. "They figure prominently in the history of bell making in this country, were the world's leading manufacturer of sleigh bells, and they had good product and very reasonable rates", Harkins said. Friends of the Norwich Bells says it notified the American Bell Association of the fire on Sunday, and has since learned that bell collectors and aficionados across the country have been shaken by the news. Harkins says he has notified Amistad America of the tragedy. He says he will try to call Bevin Brothers on Monday but doesn't really expect anyone to be answering the phone. Saturday night's blaze in East Hampton will have no affect on the Norwich Freedom Bell casting on June 15, since that is being done by the Verdin Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. |

Web Survey Bibliography
Relevance and Research Question:
It is well-documented that online surveys elicit higher reports of socially undesirable behavior than interviewer-administered surveys. However, there are possible exceptions, where the form of the question may inhibit the revelation of prejudicial attitudes. In research exploring race of interviewer effects, Krysan and Couper (2003) found some instances where white respondents (for example) gave more negative responses to interviewers than to computerized instruments. In qualitative debriefings, some respondents noted that talking to an interviewer gave them an opportunity to explain their choice of responses; in the CASI condition (as on the Web; see Krysan and Couper, 2005), they could only pick one of the response options, without the opportunity to justify their choice. We called this the "I'm not a racist, but…" phenomenon. An online experiment was designed to explore the hypothesis that, when given an opportunity to explain or clarify their answers, respondents will give more prejudicial responses.
Methods and Data:
Two experiments were embedded in the LISS online probability-based panel in the Netherlands. In both cases a set of 9 items on attitudes toward immigrants was asked. In the first study, conducted in August 2009 (n=4639), a random half received an open-ended question on a separate page following each closed question. In the second study, conducted in December 2010 (n=5328), for a random half of respondents, an optional open-ended comment appeared below each closed-ended question on the same page.
The results provide support for the hypothesis. In both cases, respondents given the open question gave significantly more prejudiced responses (F[1, 4352]=25.6, p<.001 for Exp. 1 and F[1, 5326]=7.1, p=0.008 for Exp. 2) than those getting only the closed-ended question. However, contrary to expectation, the effect was larger in experiment 1 than 2. We explore this finding in greater detail, examining both responses to individual items and those who made use of the text box to offer comments.
Added Value:
This study suggests value in giving respondents the opportunity to voice their opinions in their own words, rather than just requiring them to agree or disagree with one of the response options.

Can someone riddle me this, since Geo's CFW is implemented into Wanikoko's, how come 3.55 signed packages don't work? ..Yet 3.41 packages do? Is it because of this "fake signing" key and that the 3.41 key we sign with is legit (and per se if Sony didn't realise, it'd be the same for 3.60 etc)?
I'm just curious more than anything else..
I've wondered the same thing. I'd like an answer to that too.
its not!! waninkoko injected the pl3 payload into his cfw! thats y we all have app home etc and can only install signed 3.41 pkgs check ur system settings in multiman and u will see clearly! geohots firmware is pointless if ur a are on waninkokos. and in my case and others it refuses to install!
Not working? I had the same problem, but on 3.55 Geohot.
So, packages signed with his tools didn't run on his firmware.
Fixed it after i went back to 3.55 OFW and reinstalled 3.55 Geohot in Recovery Menu.
Now i'm on waninkoko's 3.55 with everything working great.
Signed 3.55 packages, backups etc.
Jesus. This scene is so misinformed and fragmented all over the place. A joke.
Can someone lock this pointless thread?
It basically removes NPDRM checks.
I think im fine on waninkokos 3.55 havent really wanted anything else but a backup manager and a nintendo 64 emulator but there is no n64 emu but backup manager is cool and working for me

The 2009 Net Promoter Conference is just 3 weeks away, and I wanted to highlight a couple of the sessions that were added during December.
With all the recent news of corporate restructuring and expense controls, many employees and managers feel pretty beaten up. These sessions provide a dose of good medicine for what ails us...they are about keeping your employees engaged and motivated in the task of delivering excellent customer experiences.
For those of you in the telecommunications sector, we are pleased to have Lindsay Notwell of Verizon Wireless joining us. Lindsay is responsible for NPS at Verizon, and when I discussed his session with him, he was passionate about the impact Net Promoter has had on their employees. He pointed out that when customers start to describe why they love a particular service rep, and that feedback actually makes it back to the employee, it has a huge motivational impact. I'm sure Lindsay will have many more suggestions to share about how they are making this work at Verizon.
Verizon has earned a reputation in its industry as a loyalty leader. Dr. Vince Nowinski will touch on Verizon's strong performance in his presentation about WOM economics. Vince and his team are completing a whitepaper that will be available soon on WOM in the cellular phone industry, to add to their recent publications on the same topic for computer hardware and credit cards.
Another session I'm looking forward to is the panel discussion on Day 2 on "Making a Habit of Customer-Focused Behaviors." Dr. Laura Brooks will host this discussion with three companies that are pushing the envelope in the area of cultural transformation. The companies are from different industries, but all are highlighted as case studies in Dr. Brook's new book with Richard Owen called Answering the Ultimate Question.
Laura will be joined by Aisling Hassell of Symantec, who has been using Net Promoter for several years now across a global organization with both B2B and B2C customer relationships. Symantec is now actively measuring employee NPS and using a broad range of engagement strategies with its employees and management team. We will also hear from Diana Dykstra of San Francisco Fire Credit Union, whose focus on service and culture change has earned them Net Promoter Scores in the 75%+ range. The panel is rounded out by Laura DeSoto of Experian, who delivered the opening keynote at our first Net Promoter Conference in New York back in January of 2007. Experian has used many innovative engagement and training strategies to improve the employees' "line of sight" to the customer in their daily work.
Finally, I should remind everyone that Fred Reichheld will answer questions from the audience on Day 1. If you are registered, watch for an email this week to submit your questions for Fred.

NewsMan facing extradition remanded2012-09-14 10:13:00 | (0 Comments)
Paula Gordon, STAR Writer
A man who is facing extradition to the Cayman Islands was further remanded when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday. Ryan Edwards has been implicated in a bank robbery in that country. The prosecutor said a letter has been submitted to the Government of the Cayman Islands for disclosure of the relevant documents. According to police reports, Edwards and another man were in a parked Toyota motorcar on the Lyssons main road in St. Thomas when they were accosted. The vehicle was searched and a large sum of cash, including US$5,000 and CI$35,000 were allegedly found inside. Investigators subsequently made checks with the Royal Caymanian police, who revealed that several of the notes found in Edwards' possession matched notes stolen during a robbery at the Cayman Nation Bank in June. The police were also informed by the Caymanian police that Edwards was wanted in connection with the robbery. Edwards is to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on October 4. email@example.com .

Photography & Design
The reading room inside MIT's Barker Library has been closed for months for a massive renovation (here's the story), and re-opens this week. I needed to grab some photos of the room for a class project, so I got permission to sneak in before it opened. The newly restored skylight in the dome is looking GORGEOUS and renewed my appreciation for the loveliness of the room.
I have been meaning to post these for AGES. Back in November, I met up with Kelly (you might recognize her if you follow my photos for OnStage Dance) and her fiance, Joe. We talked & walked around the Boston Common, Public Garden, and cut through Beacon Hill. Below are five of my favorites from that day. Enjoy!
This was taken this morning. I was in the passenger seat as Drew drove us to work, taking I-93 to get there. I often find myself caught between a tension of wanting to capture these kind of moments with my camera and wanting to sit back and enjoy them as they unfold. So sometimes I leave my camera at home on purpose. Not today, though!
2012 kind of sucked, so we made sure to end on a high note by getting engaged, drinking some champagne, and doing a jump shot. Bring on 2013!
These apples are AMAZING (my favorite is the peanut/chocolate one). I came down to Philly for the weekend, because Drew has been down here a lot and frankly, I'm a little tired of being apart from him. I ended up shooting these apples for his cousin, Christie. She has taken over her mom's candy business (Sin Chocolate, based in Downingtown, PA) and is now ramping up their web presence (I'll link to them once the site is up).
This was my first time trying to create any kind of product photography — we used a white sheet as the backdrop and two round reflectors to help bounce the SB-900 flash. It was all completely ad hoc — I think we'll be kicking up the set-up a notch if we do this again. Not bad for a first time, right?
Two weeks ago, I ended my year-long hiatus from wedding photography to shoot for S & K in Brooklyn. Here are five of my favorites — it was a rainy and gray day — but I'm pretty sure no one noticed. S & K, their family and friends all had a great energy, so it was complete honor to be a part of their day.
P.S. If you like glasses, you should check out S's optometry practice.
