To the editor:
As I was listening to the news, I heard a news person telling the American people that there was one more border agent killed and another wounded. On top of that, there were a large number of Mexican people that have been killed with weapons given away in the Fast and Furious scandal.
Mr. President, when will you take responsibility for your mistakes? Do you even know the people that you appointed to positions, and do you even have the guts to take blame for them? Sir, you need to think of what you were elected to do, and do it.
As an American citizen, I am tired of seeing you run all over the world bowing to sheiks in the far east and giving away money to such countries as Egypt, Pakistan and Afghanistan. You've given millions of dollars to green-energy companies such as Solyndra, and in doing so they all failed and went bankrupt.
Sir, you are hardly in your office, so how do you tell the people of America we need to trust you for four more years? No, what America needs to do is remove you and all those who are trying to destroy this great country. I love my country and hate watching it be destroyed.

Forward Green

listed building grade II
View in Google Earth
CAMRA Ipswich & East Suffolk branch.
last updated 02/03/2016
Built 1630, according to the date pargetted into the wall. It's shown as a beerhouse on OS maps at least as late as 1957, but apparently just as a house by the 1969 sheet, so presumably closed between those dates.
The 1910 Rates book records the Cricketers as a shop owned by Greene King. So it may be that it was only ever an off-sales beerhouse.

This is a one page letter to the Governor of NSW from Colonel Charles Emilius Gold, written on 20 March 1860 at Waitara. In the wake of the beginnings of the First Taranaki War Gold is applying to the Governors of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania "for as large a reinforcement in ships, particularly steamers, artillery engineers and Troops of the line as they can spare". He believes that "the very appearance of whom, promptly, would probably induce the Maori people to wish for the return of peace". NRS 4523 [4/1629]

Apple in the Dow? 'Pure Speculation,' S&P Dow Jones Indices Says
Apple's got other things on its mind these days; locking horns with Samsung in court, figuring out what to do or not do with its $100 billion plus cash hoard, not planning the unannounced launch of the unannounced iPhone 5 on the not-confirmed date of Sept. 12.
So, we'd imagine the company isn't thinking about whether or not it might be added to, or belongs, in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This is something that crops up like mushrooms every now and again, and is doing so today (here, here, and here) after Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi said the company is considering a stock split that could lead to its being added to the Dow.
Sacconaghi isn't the first person to speculate about this, but it's definitely just speculation.
"It's pure speculation," S&P Dow Jones Indices spokesman Dave Guarino told MarketBeat. The company does not comment on additions or subtractions to the index.
Composition changes are rare, he said, and generally occur only after corporate changes, like break-ups or splits. The company does try to make sure the index remains representative of the blue chips it's supposed to track, he said.
The last change came in 2009, when Travelers replaced Citigroup and Cisco replaced GM. Kraft replaced AIG in 2008.
Still, Sacconaghi's argument has a certain appeal. Apple has become the most valuable. most prominent American company out there, the Standard Oil of its day. Shouldn't it be included in the index that tracks the bluest of America's blue chip companies?
"The timing is ripe for Apple to be added to the Dow," Sacconaghi wrote. Apple's dominance of the smartphone and tablet market is comparable to Microsoft and Intel's dominance of PCs when those two companies were added.

Pros: This pc cooler works very well, with the two heat sinks and the L shaped design not only does it cool your processor but it delivers air to your north b chipset.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This cooler is only rated to cool up to the phenom II 920 witch is a 95 watt processor, I applied it to a phenom II 965 that is a 125 watt proc. as is with the pre installed thermal paste, and i am getting 26c idle and 40c full load. very good temps for a cooler that was not recommended for a 125 watt proc. Oh one of the best things is its not the size of a brick

How Homeowners Beat Renters in a Down Housing Market
Posted By Jim On 11/09/2010 @ 7:38 am In The Home | 33 Comments
I've been talking to a lot of people lately about home values. Many homeowners have seen their homes fall in value and they talk about how much money they've lost, how they can't leave the house to seize other opportunities, how they won't be able to sell for decades. In all the discussions, it seems there's one thing that people focus on – purchase price. It happens when markets are good, it happens when markets are bad, and in both cases I think focusing on the purchase price is incorrect.
When markets are good, people say they bought a house for $100,000 and sold it for $400,000, implying they earned $300,000 of profit. The reality is that they didn't – they paid interest and taxes and insurance, they paid agent commissions, they paid for repairs, etc. We forget that because it's not the headline number. I think the same is true when markets are bad.
When the housing market is down, people focus on the purchase price without adjusting for tangible factors that improve their situation. As I thought about it some more, the more I realized that there's a range of values, below the purchase price, where you may still come out "ahead" of renters if you were forced to sell.
Here's the basic idea – if your mortgage payment is close to the cost of a rental in your area, then owning a home puts you slightly ahead each month. A portion of your mortgage payment is returning to your pocket as equity. The portion disappearing forever, like interest and insurance, can be compared to your rent payment. The savings, the difference between the interest/insurance/taxes (disappearing) portion of your mortgage payment and your rental payment, is how much your home can fall in value and have you break even.
Let's take a real life example with our living situation:
With our mortgage payment, we are spending $900 that we can never recover. By renting, we would spend $1012.50 that we can never recover, a difference of $112.50. Each year, by owning, we come out ahead by $1350. As the years pass and rent increases, this difference will also increase since the mortgage payment will not change.
If our home's value fell by less than $1350 each year of ownership, we as owners would be ahead of ourselves as renters. (plus we control our own destiny, a landlord can't kick us out or raise our rents)
Warning… we've simplified the problem significantly because we haven't discussed a lot of issues that complicate matters. We ignored capital losses (you can deduct $3,000 of capital losses each year, which is additional savings) and real estate agent commissions, which becomes tricky if you've lost a lot of equity in the home. My point was to introduce the idea that you can still come out ahead, or at least not as far behind as you think, if you are forced to sell your home for less than the purchase price.
This was just an idea that I had floating around in my head and I knew that if I wanted help in working it out, I could turn to the Bargaineering community to set me straight. I think the logic is sound, the math is only valuable as an example, so I'm curious what your thoughts are on the idea.
What do you think?

Installed ZimbraOlkConnector-6.0.5_GA_2213_6.0.5846.5.msi last week between Outlook 7 and Zimbra 5 (hosted).
Server upgraded to Zimbra 6 shortly after.
Now have the same issue on two PCs running Windows XP Pro:
Blackberry Desktop 5 generates message "no available message stores", at device synchronization attempt. Attempts to reconfigure BB Desktop to re-link to Zimbra profiles gives same error.
Uninstall and reinstall of connector did not help
Clean uninstall and reinstall of Blackberry Desktop software did not help.
Since the Blackberry Desktop sync was working right before the Outlook Connector change, and no other software changes have been made on the PC, it seems like a likely conflict.
Blackberries were not synchronized between installation of the 6.0.5 Connector and change in the server software to Zimbra 6.
We have multiple users using this same setup who need their information on the road - some systems I have not been able to address yet. We want to do device-to-Outlook sync, not full Zimbra-BES-Blackberry sync. We don't want the messages synchronized to the Blackberries in the same directory configuration as the server.
Thanks for any help you can provide

9-6 Otemachi, Aoi-ku, Shizuoka City Japan 420-8601
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Industry in Shizuoka
Shizuoka-based industries dominate the domestic market and are world leaders in several major industrial sectors. Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki brand motorcycles all had their start in Shizuoka and are still manufactured locally, with the prefecture accounting for 66% of the domestic motorcycle market. Yamaha and Kawai pianos began in Shizuoka in the early twentieth century, and are now global brands. Shizuoka-made pianos now hold 100% of the domestic market. Shizuoka is also a leader in the photonics, plastic models, and corduroy textiles industries.
Shizuoka accounts for 100% of Japan's piano production.
High Prefectural Output
Shizuoka is proud of the fact that it is home both to world-leading companies and a large number of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). The prefecture is third in Japan in terms of product shipments, with strengths in machinery and equipment, which account for over half of total prefectural industrial output. Overall, Shizuoka ranks 10th nationwide in prefectural product value. Much of the vitality in manufacturing comes from a large number of SMEs, which often act as suppliers to the large global corporations, as well as a high concentration of venture businesses attracted by Shizuoka's "can do" attitude and support infrastructure.
Shizuoka's manufacturing strength lie in the technological prowess of local SMEs.
Shizuoka Triangel Research Cluster
Shizuoka Triangel Research Cluster is being created from the work done at Photon Valley, Food Science Hills, and Pharma Valley, and is clearing the way for crucial synergies in research, technology, and manufacturing. Photon Valley in western Shizuoka is a center for next-generation optoelectronics technologies. Food Science Hills in central Shizuoka hosts joint projects between academia and local industries to study and boost the health properties of food. Pharma Valley, in eastern Shizuoka, focuses on cutting-edge cancer therapies and other medical treatments centered around the Shizuoka Cancer Center. Each of these clusters is a perfect example of collaboration between research organizations and corporations to advance science and technology.
LED plant-grow lights developed by a Photon Valley?based company
A Place to Grow
Shizuoka's excellent location, infrastructure, workforce and subsidies have made it the prefecture of choice for new firms that are establishing their businesses. The prefecture holds the cumulative No. 1 position for the establishment of new firms for the period since 1988, and has held the overall top spot in three of the last five years. It has also been the preferred location for foreign businesses, holding the No.1 spot for cumulative investments by corporations with foreign ownership of over 50% since 1989. Companies investing in Shizuoka cover a wide range of sectors, with emphasis on retail distribution, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, foods, and electronics.


text: Here is the result of my latest experiment http://share.ovi.com/media/currentre...resident.10316 I build dishless wheels using ordinary Shimano hubs. This axle has 16000 miles on it with 165 pounds on the rear wheel. It is pitted and smashed. The shimano hubs with wider bearing placement the tandem and 6 bolt brake hubs reduce the chances of a bent or broken axle so you can expect them to fail in this manner. This seems to be the weight limit for these hubs with higher weight or more mileage you should upgrade to a hub without axle threads. You should also upgrade if you have an aluminum frame. My Cannondale single only lasted 6000 miles before the axle destroyed the dropouts.

There was a no contest plea on Thursday in one of the Tallahassee Police Department's largest ever marijuana busts.
TPD'S Vice Unit made the bust back in January of 2005 after a tip led them to a Tallahassee apartment where several packages of marijuana were found, sent via UPS from California to Florida.
Robin Lotane, Assistant State Attorney, said, "It was a little over 113 pounds and it's one of the biggest ones we've seen that I can remember."
Prosecutors say Shanrika Oliver pleaded no contest to trafficking, possession, and drug house charges.
Zavaris Jackson is already serving a three year prison sentence for his involvement. Oliver's sentencing is set for December. The charges could carry as many as 30 years in prison.

Seven years before Waugh published Scoop, A. A. Milne wrote his own novel of a country writer caught up in city ways - complete with a proto-Lord Copper, a spiv reviewer, a thieving agent and an assortment of other delightful literary types.
Two People is the story of a marriage between a beautiful woman who loves the high life and an unexpectedly successful writer who loves bee-keeping. It is not often read - though compared with Milne's stories of Pooh Bear almost nothing is 'often read' - and, when referred to at all, it is in relation to Milne's own marriage and the difficult family life of the genius who gave Christopher Robin his Tigger and Eeyore.
Capuchin Classics has just reissued this cautionary tale for writers and their relatives, Milne's first attempt at an adult novel, written when the pleasure of Pooh-celebrity was beginning to pall. It is charming always and chilling sometimes too.
There is also a reference I'd never seen before to the thrill of awaking to receive the first six copies of one's novel and one's first review in the TLS, drawing "attention in a kindly way to the superficial area of the book, seven and a half by five and a half".
"This was news to Reginald who had never measured it. He measured it now and found that The Times, as usual, was right. He wondered idly if there was a man in the office who did this, and nothing but this. An interesting job which brought one into contact with good literature, yet made no unfair demand on the intellect . Vaguely he sketched out in his mind an application for the post".
Such a fine satirist, that A.A.Milne.

first of all I have to say that I love your Game.
A half year ago I had a weight from 105 kilos.
With jogging everyday and change the way I eat brought me to 87 kilos and Yourshape is much more itense then just jogging!
But I really have to complain about the count like the title says.
I went to my doc a few days ago to messure the optimal pulse rate for me when I'm doing endurance sports and he also messured my cal count w running at aspeed of 10,5 km/h it was 908 (+/- 10% correctly).
Just now I played that running around the world thing don't know the exact name in english and after 6 minutes and 3 challenges the calorie count told me it was 6!
Even a phone call burn more callories and it's the same with all of the activities.
It's demotiating when you have an hour of workout (only breaks to choose the next workout) and the count told you that you did around 200 in that time and it's not true.
Pleaaaase do something about it!
Thanks for reading

Oklahoma prosecutors want tougher clemency procedures for inmates
Oklahoma's district attorneys want new restrictions put into state law that would keep most violent inmates from getting released early from prison except in cases of a clear injustice.
They also want changes to the law to prevent nonviolent inmates from being considered for parole early.
"These proposals are good for public safety. They strengthen public safety," Oklahoma District Attorney David Prater said.
Prosecutors are upset because the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board repeatedly has considered early releases for inmates, even killers, who were not yet eligible for parole.
Board members said they acted under their commutation authority. They suspended considering such early release requests, though, after Prater complained in August. The board plans to vote on a new early release policy later this year.
Marc Dreyer, the parole board's chairman, said Friday he is asking legislators to leave the board alone for a year so it can prove itself.
"My hope is that the DAs and the Legislature would be willing to give the board a year to try to prove that we have turned the corner, the ship is upright, and that we're doing things with integrity and in the way that best advances public safety," said Dreyer, a Tulsa minister.
"If they're dissatisfied at the end of the year, if they're dissatisfied with what we've done, then go ahead and do everything they think they need to do to change things around," Dreyer said.
The legislative changes proposed by prosecutors would revamp how inmates ask for their prison sentences to be commuted.
"We've got to do something," said Mike Boring, a district attorney for four counties in far northwest Oklahoma. "It's completely out of control.
"There has been a system in place for the commutations. It's been the good old boy system here," Boring said Thursday. "With a phone call, you can get out any darn time you want if you just know the right person. … It's irritating when we try to do our jobs to protect the people and we've got this board that's running (like) loose cannons over the whole system."
A commutation is simply a reduction in a convict's prison term such as from 25 years to 15 years. The parole board states on its website that there is no special process to apply for a commutation.
The board forwarded four commutation recommendations to the governor in 2011 and three in 2012, the board's general counsel, Tracy George, said.
Over the last few years, many of the inmates considered for commutations simply wrote parole board members or had an attorney or legislator ask, according to interviews with current and former board members.
No public notice was given the first time the board took up such requests. The governor would get involved — and have the final say — if the board recommended commutation.
Prosecutors want new law that would require inmates to apply directly to the governor for a commutation.
Under their proposals, the governor then would decide whether or not to get a recommendation from the parole board before acting.
Murderers and other violent offenders would be required to have three written recommendations — from the current district attorney, the current county judge and the current sheriff or police chief from the city where the crime occurred.
"That's the deal. If it's a true miscarriage of justice, then you'll get those three signatures. If it's not, then you won't," said Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn, president of the Oklahoma District Attorneys Association.
Other inmates would have to get two recommendations from "trial officials" to apply to the governor for clemency.
The governor would be required to immediately provide copies of any clemency application to the district attorney and the victim or victim's representatives.
Prosecutors acknowledge the changes would make commutations rare. Prosecutors insist that is the way it should be — an extraordinary remedy to undo an injustice that came to light after an inmate's conviction.
Prosecutors also want to block the parole board from bringing inmates up for parole early and from ignoring consecutive sentences. Prosecutors complain the board has considered some nonviolent offenders for parole before those offenders have served a third of their sentences.
The proposed restrictions would not prevent the board from voting for early release so that an inmate can be deported or on medical grounds when an inmate is near death.
Publicity about prosecution concerns sparked about three dozen citizens to complain to the parole board in late December and early January.
"I believe Oklahomans would rather pay more taxes than have these guys released early," wrote Ray Brzozowski, of Altus. "Please don't do this. Our streets are dangerous enough with the ones who get off. Don't send them reinforcements."
Attorney General Scott Pruitt also wants changes in the law because of his concerns about early releases.
Pruitt wants the parole board to be required to tell his office if it is considering early release for murderers and other violent inmates.
"I am very concerned that the parole process provides a meaningful opportunity for the victims of crime to be heard. Which is why I am asking to be notified," he said.
Pruitt also said the parole board must have public safety as its paramount concern. "The parole process should not be used simply as a prison capacity management tool," he said.

The Biggest Loser: Season 12 Will Premiere This Fall – But With Which Trainers?
May 17, 2011 02:00 PM by Lisa Princ
We already knew that there would be a season 12 of The Biggest Loser on NBC but NBC has now announced as you probably guessed it will premiere this fall in it's regular time slot. Season 12 will be different though as we will not see Jillian Michaels in the gym. The real question is – which trainers will return to help the contestants achieve their weight loss goals? Keep reading for more details!
NBC confirmed recently that The Biggest Loser will be back this fall in it's 8-10 pm Tuesday spot, but we are not sure of the exact premiere date. With that said, Jillian Michaels will not be returning for this season, but rest assured fans, Bob Harper will definitely be there, along with Alison Sweeney to keep us guessing as she does so well. There has been no official word of whether or not Brett Hoebel or Cara Castronuova will return for season twelve and in a recent interview, neither Bob nor Alison were spilling anything for us.
While the pair kept tight lipped about who would be training next season alongside with Bob, they were more than happy to gush about how much they love Jillian Michaels and how much she will be missed – same goes for us Jillian! With Jillian moving on in her life, would you rather see Brett or Cara return next season? Or perhaps both? I think Brett should return as Cara has not grown on me at all this season and she just comes across as fake. Don't get me wrong, she may be the most genuine person in the world, but I am not feeling it. What do you think? Comment and share your thoughts with us and be sure to tune in tonight for a brand new episode of The Biggest Loser on NBC!

I would rather see Jillian stay but since that isn't an option I feel Brett would be a better fit for the Biggest Loser. Cara just didn't fit well. I'm sure she's a wonderful person and maybe she knows boxing but and I say but this is not for her.
Vicki Says:
May 19th, 2011 at 11:32 am
I would love Jillian to stay…. but if not… cant say that I like either of the other trainers (other than Bob, of course). The two new trainers DID NOT impress me at all. If it were just those two… I don't think I would watch the show anymore. Just my opinion.
Reagan Says:
May 19th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Of course it will not be the same without Jillian. Bob and Jillian make the PERFECT team. I'd be ok with Brett staying, but Cara (who I really tried to grow to like) does not fit this show. I'm sure she could very well beat the crap out of myself, but when I watch Loser I want to see things OTHER the boxing. Don't get me wrong I do like boxing, but I just want to see OTHER training styles incorporated with it. And honestly I don't think I can hear the words "she/he's a fighteeerr" ANY MORE!!! Yes they are ALL fighters thats how they stay on the SHOW!
Michele Says:
May 19th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
If I had to choose between Brett and Cara, I would pick Brett to stay on the show (although I don't think he's all that great either). Cara didn't really seem to know anything unless it was about boxing. There was nothing new from her all season. And I think she was way out of her league. Nice girl? Maybe. But I'm nice and can make people run, push them over and make them stand up, tell them they're fighters, and hug them, but it does not make me a trainer. I think they should only hire trainers with a degree in kinesiology.
Sydney Says:
May 23rd, 2011 at 2:03 pm
If I could pick between Brett, cara, Jillian, or bob I would pick bob and Jillian because all cara ever does is boxing, I know that builds muscle and all but that is not the only excessive in the world! Bob and Jillian are known to be on the show. They have been since day 1.
Michelle Says:
May 23rd, 2011 at 3:01 pm
I don't like Cara. She doesn't seem to relate to the contestants and seems to almost compete for attention w contestants. Ridiculous
Gabriel Says:
May 30th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
I already miss Jillian. Cara is no replacement, but no one is.
Having said that, I like Cara. She helped Moses lose weight after an injury. She did it through shadow boxing. That's huge! She got the Green Team guy back on track after he lost his motivation too.
I remember Bob and Jillians took a few seasons to find their groove. They were nervous on camera and were sometimes awkward, but look at them now. So will Cara and Brett if they stay. It's just a matter of time. It's unfair to kick them out so soon. I hope Bob, Brett and Cara are on the show this fall.
Tammy Says:
June 4th, 2011 at 9:32 am
I would take Cara as a trainer! No one can replace Jilian but think that Cara is a great motivator and she actually gets in there and works with the contestants instead of just watching them work out. I thought the boxing was a great new way to show people how to get in great exercise in a new way that people might enjoy.
Mag Says:
June 8th, 2011 at 5:33 pm
I think that Brett shouldn't come back. He got on my nerves the whole season and he lost his team within 6 weeks even though he had the top 2 biggest losers in the house at the time. Cara didn't get on my nerves but she seemed to only care about boxing and bringing the fighter within you. I think they should get new trainers all together.
Ashley Says:
June 15th, 2011 at 9:17 am
I think that both Brett and Cara were good trainers. I think they evened each other out in the way that Bob evened out Julian. A kind of yin and yang type thing. But if I had to pick one of the two to be paired with Bob I'd have to pick Cara. Because Cara seemed to have more of a Julian type roughness to her that will help contestants get past their various issues. And because I think there needs to be a male and a female trainer on biggest loser in order for it to work as well as it does.
Akash Shahi Says:
August 12th, 2011 at 2:25 am
I heard that there are new trainers(Anna & Dolvett) who will be coming this season. Maybe one of Brett or Cara will be comin back.

Film festivals aren't typically the place where you expect to see music videos, but this being Los Angeles Film Festival it's not surprising that music videos would find a home in the festival's program. This is, after all, the entertainment capital of the world and LAFF's new home at LA Live puts it in pole position to take advantage of the facilities numerous musical spaces, which include the Grammy Museum.
They did. Shown in the Clive Davis Theater, this year's Eclectic Mix program showcases music videos from every genre--from house to indie rock to hip hop to... well, you name it, they seem to have it.
Or, as Drea Clark, the festival's music video programmer humorously put it, "Get ready for the boobs and peen!"
Though most of the bands are not household names, what these artists have done with the music video form is worthy to note. As Damian Kulash, lead vocalist and guitarist for the band OK Go, pointed out in a Q&A after Sunday's screening of Eclectic Mix #2, the use of music videos as a televisual promotional tool has long since passed. "No one will spend $2 million or $5 million on a music video anymore," he continued.
And while those of us who grew up with MTV may mourn the loss of a (somewhat) dedicated music channel, Kulash also pointed out the distinct advantage of the music video leaving mainstream television.
"Now we have this open art form," Kulash explained as he stood amongst a few of the other directors whose work had been featured in the program. "None of us up here would have had our music videos played on MTV."
Which raises the question as to what, if anything, a music video can do for today's musicians-- a question I don't even pretend to know how to answer. Bands like OK Go whose videos have a distinct voice and style seem benefit greatly from the videos they produce. Often highly choreographed, the videos take on lives of their own, reTweeted and forwarded across the Internet. To date, the band's videos have generated upwards of 82 million views on YouTube.
"We're one of the few bands that, if we post a video on YouTube, know that it will get millions of hits," Kulash said later. The video OK Go screened at LAFF, for the song "This Too Shall Pass," has been viewed over 14 million times to date.
But the Eclectic Mix series is notable for other lesser-known musicians and directors-- talent coming up through the ranks. Spike Lee, McG, and many of the biggest names in directing all made music videos once, and many of the videos featured in LAFF's series display incredible talent worth mentioning. My personal favorites from Sunday evening's program are linked and featured here.

John London, was born January 11, 1828, in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and grew to manhood on a farm. He obtained the same meager education as most farm kids in those days.
Little is known of his early days. At nineteen, while working as section boss on the railroad, he fell in love with his boss's daughter and married her. Seven children later, John enlisted in the army during the Civil War. At the close of the war, minus the use of one lung, the result of a combination of pneumonia and smallpox, he moved with his family to the town of Moscow, Muscatine County, Iowa.
Eliza, destined to be a major influence in the life of her stepbrother, Jack London, was born in Moscow. Not long after the birth of another daughter, Ida, John's wife, Mary Jane, died. He was left with nine children. His son, Charles, was injured in the chest playing baseball. The doctor advised that the boy's only hope for recovery was to be taken to California. Hurried preparations provided care for the other children, and John sped West with Eliza, Ida, and Charles. Little Charles died eleven days after they arrived.
Deciding to live in California, John sold his Iowa farm and worked as a carpenter in San Francisco. Eliza and Ida were placed in the Protestant Orphan Asylum until he could establish a home for them.
It was only a short time until he met Flora. He found in her more than the ability to sew fine shirts and decided that she would make an excellent mother for Ida and Eliza. The two girls were amazed when they discovered their new mother to be about their own height and not very pretty. But they welcomed the chance for a home again, and Eliza promptly became a substitute mother for Flora's little Johnny. For the next several years Jack was raised by his stepsister. Flora was delighted because she could spend that much more time with her spiritualism, and not be bothered by Johnny.
John London was a kind, gentle, hard-working man—a person of very high morals and stability. Many attempts have been made to prove that John London was Jack London's real father. This is highly unlikely for several reasons. His high moral character would have prevented his having relations with another man's wife. Flora told Joan, Jack's daughter, how she had first met John London because of the shirts she had made for Alonzo Prentiss, implying that she was first acquainted with John only after her son was born. Joan was thoroughly convinced that her grandfather was W. H. Chaney. On several occasions, she said, her father had insisted that his daughter know the facts regarding his birth. Furthermore, on April 12, 1875, about the time of Jack's conception, John London had signed a receipt in the Treasurer's office in Muscatine County, Iowa, indicating that he could scarcely have been in san Francisco.
It is apparent that John London was not what he would have given anything to be—Jack's real father. He loved Jack as his own son, and Jack loved him as a father. They enjoyed a very close relationship, often being thrown together as refugees from Flora and her seances or temper tantrums. His concern for Jack was such that it is hard to believe that he would have kept the truth from him if he had been Jack's actual father.

Chidambaram will one day say 'thank God RBI exists, says D SubbaraoIn his last speech, RBI Governor Subbarao blames UPA for mess Indian rupee, economy is inD Subbarao: P. Chidambaram will one day say 'thank God RBI exists'
With the rupee in virtually freefall, though it clawed back 223 paise against the dollar on Thursday thanks to the special RBI window for oil PSUs, both corporate India and the banks that have lent money to it have reason to panic. A study by Credit Suisse (CS) of Indias most leveraged corporates has some worrying numbers (see Deadly Debt on page 4 of todays newspaper). These 10 groups have seen their share of total banking loans double to 13% over the past 5 years and, given the trouble they are in, pose a rising risk to the banking sector. Indeed, while NPAs of banks have risen quite sharply over the past year, large corporate loans turning NPAs are still a small share of the totalthis is what is now a potential threat. Indeed, given the average FY13 loan growth to them24% each to the Lanco Group, Reliance ADA Group and GVK Group, for instanceit is surprising RBI still hasnt got around to relooking, and lowering, the high group exposure norms for banks. As a result of their high debt and falling profits, not only do these groups have a low interest cover, even this is fallingfor the 10 groups, the ebit-to-interest ratio fell from 1.6 in FY12 to 1.4 in FY13, the number being as low as 0.6 in the case of the Lanco Group, 0.4 in the case of the GVK Group and 0.7 in the case of the GMR Group. Which means, given the way earnings are, these groups cannot even pay their interest rates from their current earnings. Which is why, as FEs story on page 1 points out, a consortium headed by SBI is likely to give another R6,000 crore to the highly-leveraged Essar Steela move which will help the company not default on its payments.
All the groups, it is true, are trying to hawk off assets to fix their debt profile a bit, but with the banks not really leaning hard, partly because the legal system is so cumbersome, they are finding no takers since the valuations they are asking for are still not bargain-basement onesin the case of the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway, not part of the CS study, the deal to sell the project to the biggest lender, IDFC, came a cropper with the franchisee still in court over it.

The leader of the St. Joe Company, Park Brady, is stepping down.
The company announced Brady's retirement Thursday.
Brady only served as CEO for three years, but during that time he oversaw the sale of non-strategic St. Joe land to Ad Resources Inc owned by the Mormon church.
That sale gave St. Joe millions to use for future development.
Jeffery Keil, Independent Director of St. Joe, will serve as President and Interim CEO of the company until a new CEO is named.

"Dissent" Photography Exhibit Explores Diversity of Visualizations
What: University of La Verne alumni have collaborated with current students to develop a first of its kind exhibit uniting photography and the written word on a quest to conceptualize a common theme.
Twenty-two alumni photographers were asked to create images based on their interpretations of the word "dissent." Students from Professor of Writing Sean Bernard's WRT 307 (Writing the 21st Century) class were subsequently asked to write creative pieces using one of the photographs as a tool to express their unique interpretations.
"Dissent" is the newest exhibition currently on display in La Verne's Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography and will run through Dec. 7. A gallery reception sponsored by Alpha Chi National Honor Society will take place Thursday, Nov. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m.
"The photographer was only told to come up with a picture with the concept of dissent," Professor of Photography, Gary Colby, said. "It is up to the photographer, writer and viewer to form their own opinions on not only what the photograph means, but the word itself."
The reception will be an opportunity for the writer and photographer to meet and discuss the intent behind the photograph and to see how close the writer was at expressing that intent.
"Captioning is a big part of the photographic process because it expands the viewer experience and this exhibit really gives more emphasis to that part," Colby said.
When: Thursday, November 1st from 6 to 8 p.m. (gallery reception). Exhibit will remain open until Dec. 7.
Where: University of La Verne, 1950 Third Street, La Verne, Calif. Irene Carlson Gallery Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. Daily
Contacts: Gary Colby, Professor of Photography, University of La Verne, (909) 593-3511 ext. 4281,email@example.com.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Aurelien Collin, soaked in champagne, pulled the black stocking cap that read "MLS Cup Champions" down over his ears and sheepishly shook his head from side to side.
The defender for Sporting Kansas City had never needed to try a penalty kick in his career.
Collin drove home the deciding penalty kick after Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake played to a 1-all draw Saturday, giving his team its first league championship since 2000.
"I hope I never have to kick another one again," Collin said with a smile.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport
Most Read Stories
Alvaro Saborio scored for Real Salt Lake in the 52nd minute, but Collin answered with a header in the 76th minute.
Collin was voted most valuable player of the Major League Soccer championship match that remained 1-1 through regulation and 30 minutes of overtime. Then the teams engaged in the longest penalty-kick shootout in championship history — one both sides had chances to win before Collin's shot gave Sporting KC a 7-6 advantage in penalty kicks.
Real Salt Lake could have extended the tiebreaker, but Lovel Palmer's shot bounced off the crossbar and the match was over.
"I never think that penalty kicks are the best way to end a game, but you can't just keep going," said Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes, who was on the team known then as the Kansas City Wizards that won the 2000 title. "You have to end it some way."
Sporting KC's Graham Zusi had a chance to wrap it up in the first stage of penalty kicks, but he missed high and Real Salt Lake's Javier Morales made good on his shot to force sudden death.
Real Salt Lake had a chance to win in the eighth round, but Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen made a diving save on Sebastian Velasquez.
Two rounds later, Collin beat Real Salt Lake keeper Nick Rimando.
It was the coldest MLS Cup in history, with a game-time temperature of 22 degrees and a wind chill of 12.

Guest Post: Electric Bicycle Food Truck Tour with Rocket Electrics
By Carolyn, your occasional Chickster guest blogger
Read other posts from Cary here.
It is always super fun for me to come visit Chickster blogger Cynthia, because she is basically the expert on fun things to do in Austin. All I have to do is tag along.
One of these fun things to do is the Electric Bicycle Food Truck Tour with Rocket Electrics. An electric bicycle, turns out, is one of the best ways to get around downtown Austin – no traffic, no lengthy search for parking and no hoofing it down Sixth Street in the sweltering heat. And while I love a good Segway tour (I know they look stupid but they are actually super fun to ride on), they aren't really allowed on the sidewalks and bike paths that lace the city. On our tour, we hit Riverside, Rainey Street, Sixth Street, and Ladybird Lake with a minimum of travel distance and without searching endlessly for parking.
And while bicycles are cool, what is even cooler is not having to get up all those hills all by yourself. Bicycle purists may call me lazy, but let's be real, there is a limit to the amount of pedaling that I can do with a quarter pound of brisket in my stomach. Maybe you're tougher than I am, and if that's the case, the motor is optional – go ahead and pedal.
And you may want to do at least some pedaling to justify all the delicious things that you are going to eat. The food truck tour is flexible and changes depending on the tour participants – call ahead to discuss options – but highlights for our tour included:
- Walnut-infused bourbon at Buzzmill Coffee (consider splitting this with a friend since you are cycling)
- Fatty brisket at Blue Ox (it's hard to find brisket this good in town! Smoked overnight on an old smoker from Franklin's, at this food trailer you probably won't have to wait in line more than five minutes.)
- The Buffalo Burger at Casino el Camino (I swear, I think they have been making this burger for a decade and it is still that good.)
- Tasting flight of Texas beers at Craft Pride
- Delicious Detroit style pizza at Via 313
- German Chocolate cheesecake bites at The Celia Jacobs Cheesecake Experience
This is the type of tour that I could basically spend all day on. I was stuffed but sad when we rode our bikes back to the shop!
Rocket Electrics (on Riverside) sell, rent, and service electric bicycles. And as a disclaimer, we got a discount because C. is a journalist.

I am making a plan to trim down about 10 more pounds for my first season of racing. Was trying to determine my daily calorie needs and came up with 3,360, based on a formula Males: Calories = 66.47 + 13.75 (weight , kg) + 5 (height, cm) 6.7 6 (age, yr ) * 1.9.
That seems like a lot - I am 39, about 180, and get about 2-3 hours of strenuous exercise a day, either on the bike or in the gym doing core workouts until April - then just 3-4 hours a day on the bike, including 5-6 hours on Saturday.
Any comments? Anyone think this is in range or wacked out? I know if I want an exact idea, I should consult a nutritionist, but for now, just looking for a place to start.

Milwaukee's Jabari Parker was listed by Bovada as the slight favorite to win the 2014-15 Rookie of the Year over No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins.
Here are the 2014-15 Bovada odds, per SportsInsights.com:
Jabari Parker, Bucks +500
Andrew Wiggins, Cavaliers, +550
Nerlens Noel, Sixers, +900
Julius Randle, Lakers, +900
Doug McDermott, Bulls, +1,000
Elfrid Payton, Magic, +1,000
Dante Exum, Jazz, +1,000
Nik Stauskas, Kings, +1,200
Shabazz Napier, Heat, +1,200
It's not a huge surprise to see Parker atop the leaderboard. He was billed as the more "NBA-ready" prospect with a better current offensive repertoire. He can easily become Milwaukee's lead scorer, albeit in a crowded frontcourt with John Henson, Ersan Ilyasova and the troubled Larry Sanders.
In Cleveland, Wiggins won't ever have to be the lead offensive option. Kyrie Irving is the team's star, a former Rookie of the Year himself and has averaged 20.7 points per game for his career so far. Dion Waiters also has averaged 15.3 points per game in his two seasons. Wiggins will be able to grow naturally as a third or fourth option offensively and shine with his defense and athleticism.
If one recalls, Anthony Bennett was listed as sixth in the 2013-14 odds. Michael Carter-Williams, initially listed as fifth, overtook post-draft favorites Trey Burke and Victor Oladipo (eventual runner-up) to win the award.

Press Releases
News from the Diocese of Southwark
Gun Crime - London Church leaders call for torch-lit walk of peace
21 Feb 2007
Hundreds of Christians unite in a prayer walk through London.
Hundreds of Christians, along with Londoners from all communities, will unite in a prayer walk through the two London boroughs blighted by recent tragic attacks.
The torch-lit walk will begin at Peckham Square with a prayer by Bishop Christopher and conclude at Windrush Square in Brixton with a blessing from Bishop Tom and the route will take in the sites of the murders in the area in the past month.
It will take place from 5pm to 7pm on February 22, the same day the Prime Minster holds a Government summit on gun crime, with ministers, police and experts.
The walk has been organised by a coalition of Black church and other Christian leaders, and there will be representation from people of other faiths and diverse communities. It is being supported by the Mayor of London's office and the Metropolitan Police Service.
Pastor Nims Obunge, of Peace Alliance, said: Æ─·Drugs and guns are a menace to our society. Æ─·We all need to work together with criminal justice agencies to help vulnerable young people and keep guns off the street.Æ─∙
One of the leaders at the walk will be Pastor Les Isaac, Director of the Ascension Trust Street Pastors Initiative. This organises hundreds of volunteer pastors across the country, who go onto the streets to talk to young people at night.
Pastor Isaac said: Æ─·Parents have spoken to us about young people going to school wearing bullet-proof vests.
Æ─·I'm walking because there is an expectation that the church should do something Æ─ņ should stand with those who are mourning. They should also find a solution, a way forward to get our young people out of this quagmire.Æ─∙
Lee Jasper is Director of Policing for the Mayor of London's Office and Chair of the Metropolitan Police Service Operation Trident Independent Advisory Group.
He said the Mayor's Office applauds the response of Black majority churches to the spate of murders of teenagers in South London.
Æ─·This prayer walk will demonstrate the total abhorrence of the vast majority of black Londoners to gun violence,Æ─∙ he said.
Æ─·Our children need to see we care.
Æ─·We must support the police tackling these crimes. We must also face the reality that we have a serious problem with a small minority of our young people. Parental and familial responsibility here is absolutely key.Æ─∙
Cheryl Sealey, an anti-gun campaigner and a member of the Operation Trident advisory group, said: Æ─·As believers, it's important for us to work and pray for peace Æ─ņ faith without works is dead.
Æ─·We want as many people as possible to support the march on Thursday.Æ─∙
The Black Police Association works with young people and faith communities in London. Its deputy chair, Bevan Powell, said: Æ─·The police cannot tackle this problem alone.
Æ─·The churches are critical partners in addressing the issues and providing a moral and positive framework for young people.Æ─∙

The Collected Poems
by Federico García Lorca
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Lorca has a haunting imagism which dances a passionate flamenco on your temples.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0374526915, Paperback)Long regarded as one of the premier Spanish modernists, Federico García Lorca's newly revised Collected Poems is a welcome contribution to this outstanding poet's prolific body of work. This bilingual edition includes many recently discovered poems and revised translations, updating the completeness of the verse produced by Lorca during his short life (he died at 38). Lorca's poetry is quirky, playful, not only filled with orange groves and olive trees, but a strange, physical world where a river has "garnet whiskers" or there exists a "recumbent sky" or "mummified ocean." Lorca wrote love poems, though we can never be sure what exactly is desired. His poetry isn't abstract, but the images are sometimes a bit out of reach--if anything, he tried to give the abstract a physical presence. For example, a lovers' exchange is given dimension in "The Poet Tells the Truth": "Let the skein never end / of I love you you love me, ever burnt / with decrepit sun and old moon." What Lorca wrote of a friend gored by a bull in "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías" seems applicable to his poetry generally: "I sing of his elegance in words that moan / and I remember a sad breeze in the olive grove." Collected Poems is an important addition to any poetry collection, especially for those unfamiliar with Lorca or those who wish to read the poems in their original Spanish. --Michael Ferch

I have a ASP.Net 2.0 website that is currently using a custom MembershipProvider and the standard login control. I would like to replace the login control with the one from DotNetOpenId.
I override the ValidateUser which checks the username and password, but I shouldn't need to implement this when using OpenId.
Is it possible to use OpenId and still have the membership provider available to me to so that I can still use it to access the current logged in user?
Or is it the case the there is need for the using provider model anymore?

The long-awaited MongoDB Aggregation Framework shipped with MongoDB 2.2, providing a vastly improved capacity for aggregation / metrics / report-style queries that heretofore required MapReduce. Below, I rip off — verbatim — some examples from the documented examples to demonstrate their usage in a Grails application. To use the aggregation framework, you'll need to download, install, and run MongoDB 2.2+.
In addition, the latest version — as of this writing — of the MongoDB plugin for Grails uses older jars which we'll override in our BuildConfig.groovy.
Props: Tremendous gratitude to Graeme and the rest of the plugin contributors. It's been an absolute pleasure to use with Mongo.
More props: Additional gratitude to Paulo Gabriel Poiati for GMongo. Again: a pleasure to use. Kudos for its sheer simplicity.
Using the latest Java Mongo Driver and GMongo
To use the Aggregation Framework, we need the latest Java driver (2.9+) and the latest GMongo. The former exposes the aggregate() method, and the latter enables us to pass Groovy maps to aggregate() rather than DBObjects. In BuildConfig.groovy, add the following lines to your dependencies{} and plugins{} blocks. Note that I've also removed hibernate and database-migration as they're not necessary if working with Mongo and no additional datasource.
Clean, refresh-dependencies, and you should see the new jars show up and the old disappear.
An Aggregation Example
In the sample project linked above, I'm using a single Service which exposes several methods that use the aggregation examples provided by the MongoDB docs. The point here is not original thought; rather, the point is to translate those examples into Groovy. These examples are based on a Collection of Zipcodes with population data. The project linked above contains the a JSON file which you can import into your MongoDB. See scripts/README for instructions.
Inject mongo
First, in ZipCodeService.groovy, we have Spring inject an instance of GMongo, by name mongo. Then, we get a handle on the DB and zipcodes collection:
Example aggregation method
Taken from the docs and translated to Groovy, we have a method for returning population by state. This will look at every zipcode in the collection, sum its population, and group by State, sorting by population in ascending order. If you value open space and prefer a likelihood of seeing nothing but gas fields, consider North Dakota, FYI.
Note the multi-grouping idiom, which is common in the aggregation framework. Unlike SQL, where we could perform such grouping in one swoop, in this example we'll first group by state and city, then pipeline that down to grouping by state before passing the results to the sort.
aggregate() returns an AggregationOutput object containing a number of useful methods for getting at the results in addition to very useful metadata regarding the aggregation.
In this example, I'm returning the AggregationOutput.results() method, which is an Array of Maps.
Aggregation Output
The result of the aggregation looks like this, truncated for blog-friendliness:
Use in a View
You're certainly free to further transform that result into an array of proper objects. For my purposes here, that's not necessary. Here's a simple display for that result:
All the Code
Again, see the link at the top of this post for all the code
What's Next?
As I was porting these examples, I settled into a very comfortable and enjoyable workflow for testing queries in the context of my grails application without re-initializing the framework, running tests, or refreshing my browser. In a future post, I'll describe how I use the Grails console to mimic the approach I typically take to developing non-trivial queries in a more traditional relational database application.
For My ColdFusion Friends
My ColdFusion friends may be wondering, how do I use the Aggregation Framework in ColdFusion, specifically CFMongoDB? Good news! Sean Daniels has contributed this addition and it'll end up in CFMongoDB once we finalize the API, which as of this writing should be very soon. Thanks Sean!

.- Cardinal Renato Martino, former Holy See representative to the United Nations, will speak at an ecumenical Faith and Work Breakfast at a Minnesota church this month.
The cardinal currently serves as president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People.
The breakfast, to be held Oct. 24, is the first in a series that is co-sponsored by St. Olaf Church and the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought at the University of St. Thomas. The event will take place at the church, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
The cardinal will speak on the theme, "The Compendium and the World of Work: What Does the Church Have to Say to Those Who Work?"
He will discuss the Catholic Church's social, economic and spiritual perspectives on the role of work in view of the Church's social teachings.
This is the 13th annual Faith and Work Breakfast series. The morning gatherings offer participants an opportunity to address the personal challenges of integrating faith and work. The theme of this year's series is "Scarcity and Abundance: Faith, Work and Poverty."
