Seriously, this becomes more ludicrous as Holder is pressed for the 140,000 files and papers of the botched Fast & Furious that unlike the GPS tracked weapons of the Bush era with cooperation and help from the Mexican government that resulted in some 1400 arrests, 0 murders and virtually all weapons recovered.Now, we have Holder giving away a kilo of heroin and depending on purity, worth $500,000 or so, with each $1500 weapon with no tracking, no knowledge by the Mexican government and with over 300 murders and counting, with at least 2 dead US agents, there is no end in sight for the some 1700 weapons left in circulation that includes .50 caliber sniper rifles.And on national media, this administration had the audacity to blame legal US gun dealers in the attempt for stricter gun laws? I am not believing Holder's story, as there were 2,000 weapons involved from at least five states, but if this administration was that stupid, thankfully, someone in the DEA said no to supplying any further free drugs to be sold on the streets by these idiots that all need to be in prison.

John Ross |
At the VMware Partner Exchange 2013 last month, VMware made a flurry of announcements, but a couple of news stories from the conference are more closely related than most realize. VARs need to pay particular attention to these two items, which illustrate how fast the market is changing.
First, VMware announced that customers can now buy prepaid cloud credits from a reseller and use them to buy infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings from a VMware cloud service provider partner through its cloud credit purchasing program. The goal of this program is to drive compensation programs at the VAR level so VARs will finally start to focus on selling IaaS by getting them a bigger paycheck up front.
VMware executives also made headlines at its Partner Exchange (PEX) conference by lashing out at Amazon. As reported by CRN, VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger told attendees, "If a workload goes to Amazon, you lose, and we have lost forever. We want to own corporate workload. We all lose if they end up in these commodity public clouds."
With the cloud credit purchasing program, VMware clearly wants its solution provider partners to get more active on the IaaS front, but with Gelsinger's statement, the company is admitting it is in the dogfight of its life in the IaaS space. However, what VMware really means is that it must win the management space to win the IaaS space.
To win in the management space, VMware must make vCloud director and the overall vCloud Suite the platform standard. VMware also needs an ecosystem of IaaS partners that are willing to implement the solution. If VMware could get the VAR community to sell more of the suite, it could lock customers into consuming resources from only a VMware IaaS partner because they already paid in advance. Yet VARs and customers have already begun to make other choices based on what VMware told us previously and because of the lack of execution on the products themselves.
Two years ago at VMware PEX, I met with several senior VMware executives to discuss how customers and partners needed a single platform to manage, monitor and maintain both their physical and virtual systems. This platform would also need to be able to manage on-demand workloads in IaaS, PaaS and the intersection of SaaS solutions. I was told to build relationships with other vendors such as BMC or CA for management of the physical environments. VMware had decided that it would not support physical infrastructures or do any management outside the virtual realm, Paul Maritz, then CEO of VMware, told me.
This led me, other solution providers and customers to develop relationships with other vendors, such as BMC, CA, and ServiceNow and to implement other management systems or create internally grown solutions that would enable these capabilities. These tools do exactly what vCloud suite is supposed to do, but they also support most other cloud vendors regardless of the base vendor.
Once you implement these management tools, they become operationalized, documented, and run books are created. So getting a customer or a partner to change to a new solution once they start down another path is tough.

Washington, DC Friday, January 13, 2012
The U.S. Supreme Court released the oral argument in FOX Television v FCC, a broadcast indecency case. The high court met on Tuesday, Jan. 10, to review a 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals decision that found the FCC's indecency rules unconstitutionally vague.
The case stems from the use of expletives by actresses Cher and Nicole Richie during the 2002 Billboard Music Awards, which aired on Fox.
This is the second time that the justices have heard the case. In an earlier decision, they ruled in favor of the FCC's decency rules, but referred the case back to the lower court to decide on the constitutionality of the FCC's guidelines that limit foul language and nudity on the network airwaves.

Supporting the Education Library
Haskel Hess Endowment
Haskel Hess
Libraries rarely have the opportunity to purchase materials and equipment or indulge in projects that aren't bare bones necessities, and the Education Library at UF is no exception. Mrs. Enid Ashe of Miami recently changed that situation, however, by establishing an endowment for the library in her late husband's name.
Haskel Hess held a deep belief and desire to help those in genuine need, and throughout his life offered his wisdom and assistance to others. When Carrie Hunt, Mrs. Ashe's daughter-in-law, explained her dream of having an extra fund to support Education Library materials and services, Mrs. Ashe generously offered to set up an endowment in Mr. Hess' name. The Haskel Hess Education Library Endowment now satisfies some library needs not addressed by public funding and supports library services that will help College of Education students and faculty compete in the 21st century and beyond.
--"Haskel Hess Endowment enhances Education Library materials, services," Chapter One, Newsletter for Friends of the George A. Smathers Libraries of the University of Florida, Vol.5 (1), pg. 1, 1996:Autumn
For further information, please contact the Education Library at 352-273-2780 or you may contact our librarians via e-mail at : firstname.lastname@example.com
Please link to the University of Florida Foundation for online giving instructions. We are grateful for your generosity.

I have written a simple but powerful text application which can be plugged in into many existing projects. I think many people (individuals, start-ups and big businesses) would like to have it, but I'm not sure how many would be prepared to pay and how much.
Right now I am building a web service to demonstrate it and thinking of what's best to do next.
Here are some thoughts on my goals to put the problem in context: I have a PhD in Computer Science, specialized in knowledge that is in high demand right now. I want to share my skills with others in form of consulting jobs. In a year or so I would like to organize a start-up which would produce similar text apps.
Would you recommend to release the app for free to promote my brand? Or release it for free as a trial, with charging after 1 month of use? Or free for individuals and at a fee for businesses? What's the best way to judge how much is appropriate to charge?
Thanks a lot,

The Flagstaff Fire continues to burn without containment west of Boulder today as firefighters work to build fire breaks along the Shanahan Ridge neighborhood amid concerns that high winds could intensify the wildfire as the day goes on.
An infrared scan of the burn area showed the fire was 230 acres in size as of 7 a.m. this morning, down from the estimated 300 acres late Tuesday night. More than 100 firefighters battled through the night to keep the fire from spreading into the city, and, by this morning, there were 250 fire personnel on scene.
Handcrews are working on the ground at the southwest flank of the blaze, which was first reported Tuesday afternoon near Bison Drive in the Walker Ranch area.
Jeremy Desautels, who is staying with his parents in the Shanahan Ridge neighborhood, said fire crews advised they move wood furniture away from their home.
"They asked if they could cut down spruce trees if they needed to, and we said, 'Of course,'" Desautels said. "It's pretty surreal when firefighters are knocking on your back door at 8 p.m.. That gets your attention."
Richard Kantz, who lives near the Shanahan Ridge trailhead off Lehigh Road, said he appreciates what the firefighters are doing to defend his neighborhood.
"It sounds like the city is trying to make a line of defense," he said. "I feel like the response has been very good. ... Seeing the slurry planes just drop load after load makes me feel better."
Officials are also asking residents in the area with property facing open space to turn on their sprinklers and leave them on to assist with the fire defense.
Due to the winds and rough terrain, officials said today's attack will be mainly aerial, including a massive C-130 air tanker dropping slurry.
"We're hoping for an aggressive attack this morning," Boulder fire spokeswoman Kim Kobel said at an 8 a.m. media briefing.
But Kobel added, "Mother Nature has not been cooperating around Colorado, and we're not expecting any different this afternoon."
Higher winds and thunderstorms this afternoon could ground the aerial attack, Kobel said. Winds also affected Tuesday's daytime ground attack, which was delayed when shifting winds moved the fire north, south and east.
The fire is burning in unpopulated, rough terrain, but the city of Boulder's primary concern remains the protection of homes in the city. Firefighters are concentrating today on creating a defense line around Shanahan Ridge, Kobel said.
The fire is now about 1.5 miles from city limits.
However, as of this morning, no structures were threatened, said Boulder County Sheriff's Cmdr. Rick Brough, and no new evacuation orders have been issued this morning.
Twenty-six homes were evacuated Tuesday along Flagstaff Road and Bison Drive, and 12 people stayed in the shelter set up at the East Boulder Recreation Center, 5660 Sioux Drive, overnight.
While the evacuation orders are still in effect for people living in the 4500-6000 blocks of Flagstaff Road and the 800 to 1500 blocks of Bison Drive, other Flagstaff Mountain residents are now being allowed to drive up Flagstaff Road. The road, however, is still closed to nonresidents.
Pre-evacuation orders also were issued Tuesday to 2,416 south Boulder phone numbers in the neighborhoods of Table Mesa, Devil's Thumb and Highland Park, which are bordered by Dartmouth Avenue to the north, Greenbriar Avenue to the south, Broadway to the east and the foothills to the west.
Those orders remain in effect.
Kobel urged residents in the pre-evacuation areas to be "ready to move, if necessary," cautioning that the unpredictable weather and wind conditions combined with dry terrain created a very combustible situation.The fire started near the 1500 block of Bison Drive in the Walker Ranch area around 1:15 p.m. and was believed to have been sparked by lightning, although an official cause has yet to be determined, Brough said. At least four other small grassfires were reported after the early afternoon thunderstorm.
The other fires were stamped out, but the Flagstaff Fire shot up through rugged terrain.
Kobel called the wildfire conditions across Boulder County "unprecedented."
"We are at extreme levels we have not seen before," Kobel said. "So while we don't want fires here, I don't think we can ever say it's unexpected.
Open space properties from Eldorado Canyon north to Boulder Canyon remain closed today while the fire continues to burn. Walker Ranch is also closed.

David House trolls the Wikileaks Grand Jury
Programmer invokes the fifth amendment 25 times in 50 minutes
By Alex Hern Published 17 July 2012 8:29David House, a friend of alleged Wikileaks source Private Manning, was called in June to the grand jury convened to determine whether anyone involved in the organisation should be indicted. House, a 23-year-old computer scientist from Boston, was apparently wary of incriminating not only his friend, but also himself, and seems to have been determined to disrupt the proceedings in whatever way he could.
As he told Forbes' Andy Greenberg:
I felt kind of powerless in there. Having a pen to write stuff down was the most subversive thing I could do.
House decided to make a transcript of his hearing, which, as he is informed, "is a violation of rule 6(e) of this grand jury." Nonetheless, he got away with it, and what remains is a document to the surprising effectiveness of sheer obstructiveness. Amongst other things, House invokes the fifth amendment to answer every question except his name and birthday:
PM: What is your birthdate?
DH: March 14, 1987
PM: Where do you live?
DH: Can you restate the question?
PM: What is your address?
DH: I invoke.
PM: What is your current occupation?
DH: I invoke.
PM: Were you a senior in computer science at Boston University in January 2010?
DH: I invoke.
PM: Isn't it true that you told PBS Frontline that you were a senior at Boston University in January 2010?
DH: I invoke.
PM: Do you know what a hackerspace is?
DH: I invoke.
PM: Do you know what BUILDS is, the acronym?
DH: I invoke.
The full transcript can be found here. As well as invoking the fifth amendment 25 times in 50 minutes, House accidentally-on-purpose forces multiple short breaks, gets questions repeated, and is generally quietly, commendably, subversive. Now that is how to protest illegitimate crackdowns on free speech.

I had the displeasure of knowing David House. He is probably one of the most unpleasant and arrogant person I have ever met.
From my perspective that's an unkind and untrue accusation to levy at this man. I've seen Mr. House give a speech about his grand jury experience twice now, on both occasions he was moving and clearly passionate and insightful. He talked to me and a few of my friends until late after the second event and we all thought he was really chill and down to earth.
Thanks for what you do. Pay it forward!
The United States is to-day what it portrayed the Soviet bloc as being during the Cold War.
It has been assisted in achieving this status by the Vatican and the Polish Pope - the banks - Margaret Thatcher - Ronald Regan - Tony Blair - everyone Israeli . The UN vetoes for the big powers is a denial of individual inalienable democratic rights for citizens of the world - hence thousands of people are being daily massacred in Syria - a million people killed wounded or displaced in Iraq - thousands die daily in the Third World - Palestine and so on ad infinitem. The Occupy Movement is cerebrally oriented but until the world electors' brains are demorphed from thinking like a football their Utopia will not be achieved
Isn't he a 25-year-old computer scientist if that birth date is correct?

Producer responses will greatly improve these data products! 1986-1990 Chisholm did not appear on the report until 1984 but by 1986 it was planted on 23 percent of the wheat acres and remained in the top spot in the 1990 survey with 30.8%. Its acreage faded quickly but has been reported every year since, with 0.3% of the 2012 wheat acres. 1994 Karl's popularity grew quickly between 1990 and 1994 when it had 41.2% of the acreage. By 1996 its share had been cut by more than half, and included acreage seeded to Karl 92. Karl 92 continues to be planted in very small acreages up to the present. 1996 No one variety remained on top for long during the 90s and Pioneer 2163 became the top variety in 1996 with 21.6% of the acres. It was planted on significant acre-ages until 2005, with very small acreages reported as recently as 2010. 1998-2009 First appearing on the 1996 report, Jagger became the top variety in 1998 and remained so for 12 1919-1934 Turkey was the leading wheat variety in Oklahoma until after 1934, and continued to show up on the Wheat Variety Report as late as 1964. It has the highest percentage for any one variety during the period with 68.6% of the seeded acres in 1919. 1939 Blackhull was reported with significant acreage throughout the 1920s, 30s and 40s. With 36.6% of the acreage, it was the number one variety in 1939, and was reported until 1959. 1944 The Tenmarq variety was the most commonly planted variety on the 1944 survey. Planted on significant acreages for at least a 20 year span starting in the late 1930s, it last appeared on the 1964 report. 1949-1976 The Triumph Group of varieties has the longest streak of any variety in the 92 year period included in this report. Triumph was reported as early as 1944, and was the top variety in 1949. In the 1960s the Triumph Group included Triumph, Improved Triumph, Super Triumph and Triumph 64. These varieties continued to hold the highest percentage of seeded acres until 1976, although from 1974-1976 Scout and Scout 66 had a larger share than any one Triumph variety. Triumph 64, which was first listed on the 1964 report, is still being reported, though it has been planted on less than 0.2% of the acreage since 2010. 1979-1984 TAM W-101 first appeared on the Wheat Variety Report in 1973 and had acreage reported every year until 2007. During 1979 and 1984 it occupied more than 30 percent of the acreage as the top variety. Numerous other TAM varieties have appeared on Oklahoma's report every year since then, and currently make up just under four percent of the state's acreage, and about a quarter of the wheat in the Panhandle district. HISTORIC WHEAT VARIETIES September 2012 straight years. Jagger obtained the highest percentage planted to one variety since Triumph or Turkey with 46.1% of the wheat acres in 2003. More than a quarter of the acreage was planted to Jagger for 11 years. Though it is no longer the top wheat variety for the state, it was planted on 16.6% of acres in the Southwest District for 2012. 2010-2011 Endurance ousted Jagger as the number one wheat variety in 2010, after increasing the planted acreage every year since it first appeared on our report in 2006. 2012 The percentage of Duster seeded in Oklahoma more than doubled each year from 2007 to 2011. At 22.2% of planted acres, Duster covered more ground than Endurance did at its peak. These two OSU bred varieties together made up 38.7% of acres in 2012.

Five more states, including Missouri, have been granted relief from key requirements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law, meaning that 24 states have now received a waiver from federal requirements related to elementary and secondary student achievement.
Besides the Show-Me State, Arkansas, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia are now free from No Child Left Behind requirements mandating that all students test proficient in math and reading by 2014.
In exchange, the states must develop accountability plans that set new targets for raising achievement, advancing teacher effectiveness, preparing students for careers and college and improving the performance of low-performing schools.
Many educators, including several in Nodaway County, have long said that meeting the law's annually escalating requirements is what amounts to an impossible task.
State Rep. Mike Thomson, Maryville, considered by many to be the leading expert on education in the Missouri House, said over the weekend he has yet to acquaint himself with details about the waiver but that it appears to be a positive development.
"I believe it basically puts us in a position to be able to judge our schools on our new state standards (known as the Missouri School Improvement Program) and not on the federal standards which many felt were a formula for failure," Thomson said.
He added that No Child Left Behind's focus on nationally normed tests "limits the flexibility of curriculum in our schools," and argued that since most public schools in northwest Missouri meet or exceed existing accreditation standards they should not be saddled with excessive federal regulation.
"I believe that the education of our kids needs to be left in the hands of the state, not the federal government," said the former teacher, administrator and coach.
Democrats and Republicans have long agreed that the No Child Left Behind law is broken but have been unable to frame a solution.
The law has been praised for focusing on the performance of minorities, low-income students, non-English speakers and special education students. But it has been widely criticized for labeling schools as failed if just one specialized groups does not meet prescribed targets.
Critics also say No Child Left Behind has also forced teachers to "teach to the test" and led schools to narrow their curriculums.
"We all understand that the best ideas don't come from Washington, and moving forward, these states will have increased flexibility with federal funds and relief from NCLB's mandates, said U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
Duncan and the White House have pushed for a comprehensive reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, but there has been little movement in Congress. After Duncan warned that 82 percent of schools could be labeled as "failing," the Obama administration announced last year that states could apply for waivers.
Page 2 of 2 - The five states approved for waivers Friday were among 26 states that submitted requests for flexibility in February. The Education Department announced waivers for eight of those states in May. Another 13 are still under review. Waivers for the first 11 were granted in February.

Upgrade = downgrade in performance
The Amber for Worcester is genuine - it looks like there are genuine concerns about the impact of Sunday's rain on the local rivers.
I see the Met have released an amber warning.. for Worcestershire only??
That's a very small area that they have concentrated on.
I'm surprised they can be that precise?
Watches out for Tuesday for heavy and thundery rain in the south and strong E winds.
How Met Office currently sees May. Lots of "close to average" and a large scattering of changeable and unsettled. But not all bad.
UK Outlook for Friday 4 May 2012 to Sunday 13 May 2012:
Fine and dry across many northern parts of the UK on Friday with some sunshine, away from the cloudier east coast. Through Saturday outbreaks of rain and some hill snow will spread south. Largely cloudy further south with showers or longer spells of rain, especially in the far south, although with some drier and brighter spells at times. Thereafter, becoming largely unsettled across the whole of the UK. Showers may be heavy, thundery and possibly wintry over higher ground in the north. Becoming windier for many parts, especially across northern areas. Temperatures starting close to average for early May, but are likely to become largely below average with a risk of overnight frost in sheltered inland parts. Possibly becoming less unsettled by mid-may with temperatures recovering, especially in southern Britain.
Changeable weather is likely for much of this period. Showers or longer spells of rain are likely to affect most parts of the UK although rainfall totals are likely to be close to the seasonal average. Between the rain and showers, there should also be some drier and brighter interludes with sunshine levels also close to the May average. With winds often from a north or northeasterly direction, temperatures are likely to be close to or just below the seasonal average, but they could be a little above in any sheltered western areas at times.
Less unsettled by Mid May but with showers or longer spells of rain from 14th May.
Clear as mud.
Largely dry across northern parts of the UK through the weekend with some bright or sunny spells, but it will be rather cold with overnight frost. There will be wintry showers in places, possibly giving snow accumulations over higher ground. Further south, remaining predominantly unsettled with rain or showers, with a threat of hill snow across Wales on Saturday. Breezy at times and feeling cold in the wind and rain. The remainder of the period looks likely to stay unsettled across the UK. Heavy rain is possible in places, turning wintry across higher ground in the north. Daytime temperatures remaining mostly below normal with the risk of night frosts. Towards the end of the period, southern parts may see more dry and bright periods whilst it remains unsettled further north.

No temperature recovery now until the second half of the month
I notice that the cold at the weekend has been upgraded to wintry showers at low levels in the north

April is the wettest month for 100 years
This has been the wettest April in the UK in over a century, with some areas seeing three times their usual average, figures from the Met Office show.
Meanwhile elsewhere in Europe...
Unprecedented April heat hits Central and Eastern Europe

What a load of cobblers by the Daily Express!! - This is a new low...even by the Daily Express standards! http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/317838/Britain-facing-new-big-freezeMore like 0C or -1C or but -9C....Nonsense! But what I will say is if only this set up had occurred back in January or Feb!!
Edited by user 02 May 2012 23:47:53(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel with better weather on the way for the end of May.
"Latest EC 32 day has good continuation with a cool/unsettled weather type overall for most of May, before potential higher pressure late May."
"There are signs that as May progresses high pressure may become more influential, but particularly by the end of the month."
Edited by user 04 May 2012 09:36:34(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Thats very interesting. I've just done my month ahead video forecast and I briefly have a look at the CFS V2 anomaly for June, which actually looks quite good. I do think we could be in for quite a reasonable June this year. No reason that change to better weather can't start in late May.
Hopefully we'll get some nice weather for late May and Jubilee weekends.
April anomaly maps from the Met Office.
Parts of the far north west were sunnier than average, parts of the south east around average, but much of the country saw below average.
Very wet for much of the country. Less so for the north west.
Generally cooler than average. Though closer to average in the south east.

The Pilgrims Before Plymouth
A tour of the Dutch city of Leiden yields new insights into a chapter of the Thanksgiving story not taught in schools
- By John Hanc
- Smithsonian.com, October 19, 2011
(Leiden American Pilgrim Museum)
A plaque above the door of Leiden's spectacular, block-long City Hall chronicles a significant event in its history, one that also offers a clue to an interesting question about the influence of Leiden on the Pilgrims. Was it here that they got the model for the Thanksgiving feast? Bangs thinks so, in part. Here's why:
In 1574, in a climactic end to the 80-year war for Dutch independence, the starving city of Leiden triumphed after a long siege under Spanish forces. The annual Thanksgiving festival, held every October in commemoration, is an event the Pilgrims would have witnessed during their decade in Leiden. The festival lasted for days, starting with a prayer, followed by a meal and then militia exercises and festivities. When the Plymouth Pilgrims decided to hold Thanksgiving in 1621, Bangs thinks they looked, at least in part, to the Leiden festival. "They thought the Dutch had it right," Bangs says. "The Pilgrims also found in Deuteronomy the description of how to hold a harvest thanksgiving," he adds, "which included inviting all the "strangers" living within one's boundaries. This would account for inviting the Indians."

Thanks for your hospitality. We feel our visit to you and Leiden on March 28, 2012 was the highlight of our trip. Relative William Brewster has been discussed in my family for years so this trip was important for me, as his relative.
I would like to keep in touch with you especially concerning the possible erection of a plaque of William Brewster in Leiden. We would also like to know how to contact you on line. Thanks again Dr. Jeremy for a lovely visit.

I would like to search my heritage on my father's side, Caillouet. Which product would you recommend?

Wasn't the first Thanksgiving really just outside Jamestowne? Why doesn't an institution such as this correct the record?

Always interested to hear stories of the pilgrims, being descended from the Elder Wm Brewster. Having heard that we were descendants while growing up helped to spark my interest in geneology. After going down the wrong line because of misinformation from a previous family researcher I discovered that although we were indeed descended from Wm Brewster, our direct line did NOT come over on the Mayflower. Wm's son that we descended from brought his family over with a later group. I believe that one of the celebrities that did research for one of the TV shows was also from this line and this was not revealed in the show as it aired.

My first maternal ancesters, Rutger Joesten Van Brunt family, came to New Amsterdam in 1620. I'd like to know more of their Dutch heritage. Cornelia Van Brunt born about 1846, issue Kate or Catherine Philips Stears, issue Grace Foster, married Edmond Watkins, issue Olive Watkins married Ernest Sanchez, my father.
Jan Brunt, schoolmaster at Leyden, published an arithmetic the third edition being "continuation of the rudiments of arithmetic, composed in questions and answers for the use of schools. Is Leyden the same place as Leiden?
Is any other writing published other than the Genealogy of the Van Brunt Family; of this I have a copy.

There is a historical inaccuracy in this article (very surprised The Smithsonian did not do their homework on this) 1574 was not the climactic end of the 80 -year war, which lasted from 1568 until 1648 when the treaty ending the conflict was signed. The "war" was really a long drawn out conflict for political dominance between Spain and the Catholic church on one side and the Protestants and regional noblemen and independent cities on the other. By 1580 Spain had lost the battle for the Norhtern half on the country, by 1648 they were no longer a factor in everything that today constitues all of Belgium and the Netherlands. The Southern half took longer because the Catholic church had a more dominant position there and still does, compared to the North which was predominantly Protestant.

My ggggggggrandfather was William Bradford. It was sad to know that he was so persecuted because of his religious beliefs in his own country (England) that he was thrown into jail there. That's why he, and others, fled to Holland, and later to America. Those were some brave souls. Freedom from religious persecution is most certainly a bedrock of the United States. It's what gives us the right to believe--or not believe, today.

To get information on John Dunham, go to the website www.familysearch.org and you will find data on the Dunham family going back to 1404 along with all the other families that marry into the Dunham line.

Carlos: When nation-wide celebration of Thankgiving in its present form started, as proclaimed by President Abraham Lincoln, the need for a nostalgic image of family unity couldn't have been greater; and the idea people had of the Pilgrims and Indians coming together peacefully in 1621 provided an idealized sense of national integrity welcoming everyone, that contrasted greatly with the circumstances of the Civil War. You will find an excellent answer to your question in James Baker's recent book, Thanksgiving, The Biography of an American Holiday (University Press of New England, 2009).
Madlen Piccioni: There is some information about the Dunhams in Leiden, with a lot about the lives of the Pilgrims there before they came to New England, in my book, Strangers and Pilgrims, Travellers and Sojourners - Leiden and the Foundations of Plymouth Plantation (Mayflower Society GSMD, 2009). Genealogical and other historical information about the early European settlers of Plymouth Colony is well presented in Robert Charles Anderson, The Pilgrim Migration, Immigrants to Plymouth Colony, 1620-1622 (NEHGS, 2004).

There were many colonies in early America: Spanish,Dutch
French, Russian etc; Virgina, New Amsterdam etc.
Why do people---an schools--focus so much on the Pilgrims?

The task that is supposed to launch the radioshow only broadcasted on weekdays runs every day of the week, so a task consisting of 1 simple thing can be a problem as well.
But I really like the program because it helps to get something done without having to stay near the keyboard all the time. For weeks now on every reboot I see an empty window called Past due tasks. The reason it remains empty is that I unchecked all the Notify me-boxes because I don't have to be notified in the morning that last night's show failed to start, let alone be given the opportunity to run it now. Probably there was a film I preferred to watch - but now I must immediately go to the computer to click "cancel" for TO doesn't do anything as long as that window is visible. The problem had been away for some weeks but I've no idea why it's back. Any ideas?
For automatic disk defragging I use: http://www.execsoft.com/coverpage.asp
Keeping it in the screensaver mode keeps all my disks defragged.
In addition to your plea, i want to find out why this program is better than the normal windows task manager which does a decent job in itself

HHC occupies a prime place when it comes to offering patients the opportunity to take part in clinical trials. Not only are HHC facilities affiliated with physicians from leading medical schools but, as the largest municipal healthcare provider in the U.S., HHC is in a unique position to test important new medical treatments with diverse populations.
A clinical trial - also called clinical research - is a study of human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Patients who choose to participate in clinical trials can be more involved in their own healthcare decisions, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.
HHC patients benefit from the cutting-edge treatment they receive when cared for by physicians who are attuned to the latest scientific findings about a disease. Patients may also have the chance to participate in "expanded access" trials, which are designed to make promising products available as early in the drug evaluation process as possible to patients whose medical condition affords them limited therapeutic options.
HHC is affiliated with such distinguished research partners as the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University; Columbia University, Health Sciences, College of Physicians and Surgeons; Weill Medical College of Cornell University; Maimonides Medical Center; Mt. Sinai School of Medicine; New York Medical College; New York University School of Medicine and SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

Dora's flying high! And that's no small thing given that only moments ago she was a paper bag! That's right! This recycled craft requires only a grocery bag, tape, and paints or markers. After that, the sky's the limit!
Watch Dora Every Day at 7:00PM EST on NICK
For easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with illustrations, print out the instructions page.
1. Cut the bottom off the bag. 2. Lay the bag flat. Draw a dot about one-third down the center of the bag. Mark an X through the dot. Cut along the X. You'll be left with two "wings." 3. Turn the bag upside down and then flip over. Fold the wings to the front and out. (These will become Dora's hair.)
With the pencil, draw Dora's bangs, eyes, nose, and mouth. With paint and/or markers, color the two "wing" pieces and the folded area inside. Then paint her bangs. (We outlined her hair, but this is optional.) Then, paint the eyes, nose, and mouth. At the base of the kite, paint Dora's "shoulders" green (or any other color you like) to represent her dress. Let the paint dry completely.
5. Trim the corners to match Dora's head shape. 6. Cut a 2-foot piece of string for the tail, and tie short ribbon pieces down the string. 7. Put a piece of tape at the corner of each wing to strengthen it, then punch a hole through each. Cut two 1-foot lengths of string, threading one piece through each of the holes. Tie with knots to secure. Cut a 6- to 8-foot piece of string and tie to the shorter strings to make a "v" shape. Knot the end of the long string to a stick or cardboard tube and wrap the string around it. 8. Punch a hole at the bottom of the kite (in the center). Slip one end of the tail through the hole and tie with a double-knot. 9. Tape the wings to the side of the bag at the top only.

I own a Canon Rebel T3i and on the accessories page on Canon website there is a Remote Switch (Cable Switch) and Remote Control. What is the difference between both (they are the same price) and if I got one do I really need the other one?
The remote switch (RS-60E3) is a wired shutter release switch that allows for the activation of the shutter via a cabled interface. The remote control (RC-6) is a wireless shutter release device that allows the shutter to be activated using an infrared signal. They perform the same function with the difference being wired vs. wireless. | |||||||||||||
Sorry to sound like a novice ... but if I was to use the wireless switch - would I need to focus my camera on the shot first and then move in front of the camera to take the shot - or will the wireless remote enable the camera to auto focus? Hopefully this makes sense | |||||||||||||
If you want a wired remote control for the shutter and auto-focus, there are many third party products that are much, much cheaper than the Canon part. I bought a number of them from assorted vendors. The one I like the best is http://flashzebra.com/products/0218/index.shtml because it uses a standard 2.5 stereo headphone cord. You can get extensions to any length you want. I found that the remotes with fixed length cables were too short for self portrait work. | |||

text: User Reviews Video Reviews P870 3.4 5 25 25 I love my phone I love my phone because it is very fast to navigate, and its cameras are excellent in terms of connectivity is very fast. Do not change it for any other, in all I'm very happy with all the features such as taking photographs with my voice or make voice dictation, actually saves me a lot of work. November 22, 2013 Almost Perfect I've had this phone for a month now and compared to my previous phone it's a pretty good phone. There are a couple of features that could have made it a great phone. Why they left of a flash it's beyond me. It would have been simple and cheap to add one. The snap on back feels a little fragile so I try to be careful with it. One of the nice features of this phone is the nice slim case. If you have large hands like I do that can also be a worrisome feature. I have a ton of apps on it and it's still blazingly fast. All in all its a good phone that falls just short of being an excellent phone. I would still recommend it even without a flash. Just be aware that it won't replace a camera in some circumstances. November 6, 2013 Very happy with the phone and all features. I like this phone better than the iPhone. The features and performance has been excellent. There is a frequent glitch with error message for "System UI stopped working", but noone has addressed this issue. It is a nuisance but doesn't stop phone from working. October 23, 2013 LOVE this phone Im constantly on my cell phone and this phone has an amazing battery life. Its easy to use, the screen is bright and big, i love it.

Now that it is officially summer, we are seeing more small fruits make their appearances: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black-raspberries, current's, and numerous others. I think probably my favorite would be all of them!!! And there is no better way to eat them then all combined. Three-berry pies, smoothies, sauces, cobbler's, fruit bars – all of these can be made with your choice of berries.
I snagged this recipe from COOKS.com. I have used that website now several times for recipe's. They have oodles of them!!!
1 c. fresh strawberry halves
2/3 c. fresh raspberries 2 tsp. sugar 2 tsp. cornstarch 2 tsp. cold water 1/3 c. pitted bing cherries or 1/3 c. blueberries Combine berries and sugar in medium saucepan; let stand until sugar dissolves. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Combine cornstarch with water and add to berry mixture. Increase heat to high and stir constantly until thickened and clear. Remove sauce from heat. Stir in cherries or blueberries.Serve immediately.
Yield: 1 1/3 cups. |
