Early History
Meshire Cat was born into poverty in the city of Pontus and in this experiance he would eventually join the criminal underground of the city. As his propensity for crimes continued he would become a highwayman on the roads west of Pontus and while doing this he would make a lot of money but his reputation suffered greatly as most knew who he really was.
Jail Break
During this time Meshire Cat would be arrested twice with his second time being for life until he was broken out by members of his gang who wanted him back.
Rise of the White Rabbit Army
|-Natashia Cole-
It rose like a brief flood. Not a soul paid any heed to the water moving slowly along the beach. The barely noticed when it touched their feet. So important in their own minds were they that what threat could this splashing water pose to them. Even as it wet their clothes they still did nothing. It wasn't until their friends started to drown that they finally stepped forward. The greedy monsters of Pontus got exactly what was coming for them.
With her plan in place Natashia at first used her body to lure strong and able men into her bed. Once she had them there she convinced them of the intelligence of following her, and time after time these men followed her hook line and sinker. In this way she was able to create a group of the five most skilled men in their fields who she calls her Rabbit Council and stand as the leadership of her growing order. Each of these men along with all those who join the White Rabbit Army believe that Natashia is a god and thus she takes what she wants from everyone including her beginning a sexual relationship with Knave of Hearts, and Knave of Clubs of which during this sexual relationship she would become pregnant despite her attempts to use moontea. Her failure to stop the pregnancy was due to the intervention of the Mad Hatter of whom sabotaged the moontea but also corrupted the birth to give birth to creatures of the soul of Natashia as the Mad Hatter had also fallen in love with Alice and wanted to help her.
Destruction of Braavas
Main Article : Fall of Braavas
With her leadership in place, and a growing number of foot soldiers the White Rabbit Army moved to stage two which was the actual engagement of their forces. Her pregnancy meant that Natashia was definetly feeling a sence of need of doing things quicker then she might have otherwise so Natashia started small with the plan for the army to take control of the town of Braavas which they had decided they would then promptly rename Hopper. Braavos was a relatively wealthy town for the Crater of Pontus, and it had a large enough population which alongside its curtain walls had led to most believing it was not somewhere that could be destroyed quickly. In Braavos the White Rabbit army managed to surround the city and using rebels within the town led by Knave of Clubs they would take control of the entrances letting the rest of the army have an easy access into the city. So with the entries controlled a small piece of the force defended the exit points while the remainder moved in and anyone who resisted were killed on sight, and thus by the time they were finished nearly the entire town was dead.
Fall of the Prison
During this assault the Madd Hatter would lead a small force against the Braavas Dungeons defended by the man of whom would eventually become The Insane Hare and betrayed from within by more rebels of the Knave of Clubs the prison fell quickly and everyone was executed outside of the rebels and those deemed by the rebels to be in line with their work. The Mad Hatter would during the execution take the body of the Insane Hare and remove his body from the prison taking him to his lodgings outside of Braavos where he would experiment on him creating the rabbit form he would become naming him the Insane Hare. One of the survivors of this massacre was a young slave who would become the Red Princess of whom would bow before the attackers leading to her survival, and eventually rise within the White Rabbit Army. During this violent massacre Natashia waded into the city unknown that many of those killed were soon to be added to the Mad Hatter`s entourage of Magi creatures, and she entered to the site of piles of dead, and the burning remains of a once large town. Those that were left were mainly women and children, and it was in this moment that Natashia came to a conclusion.
Founding of Hopper
During there conquests they would kill all the men and in this way only those true to the White Rabbits would remain fighters, while the women would be used to create children who would be the incoming recruits. This took place very quickly as she begin pairing up the soldiers in her army with those women that had survived and the children were swiftly taken in if their parents were dead or they were remained with their mother if she survived. All of this grew quickly, and the soldiers went about rebuilding the damage that had been done to the town, and the town of Hopper was reborn. Where once the town of Braavas was a town for little more then 1200 people the new town of Hopper would hold the thousands that Natashia envisioned would become a member of the White Rabbit Army. During the growth of Hopper the Red Princess would rise to gain her title as she expanded the growth of food through her knowledge of pig farming and this proved a great boom to the growing city and capital of the White Rabbit Army.
Continued Growth
From their new capital of Hopper the White Rabbits begin systamatically massacring the nearbye villages and in each attack they brought back more and more wealth, weapons, women, and children back to Hopper which over the course of two years of this increased from some 2,000 soilders to some 7,000 of which 2,700 were White Rabbit soilders. With this growth the number of children indocrintanted into the Rabbit were increasing dramatically and each child was a devout follower of Natashia and the religion of the rabbit. Located far in the west of the crater the White Rabbits were relativly hidden and the brutal nature of their attacks meant there were no survivors to complain to anyone who could help. As they expanded they had basically killed all the men in their area and so the next stop for the Rabbits was to expand into the city of Pentos which had a population of some 8,000 people. This would be their greatest accomplishment and in if they suceeded there army would swell with women, and through these women the next wave of recruits eventually. As the planning for the invasion of Pentos went on it is important to note that the luitenant of the Rabbits in the form of Knave of Hearts was continueing to recruit followers to the religon of the Rabbit and in this way there was a constant stream of recuits coming in from far away Pontus, as well as recruits from Lorath who were being recruited by Luiteneant Cheshire Cat.
| Murder of Marge Lones
She has to die. Do this thing for me
Murder of Marge Lones
While the planning was going on Natashia became aware that Marge Lones the beloved sister of Pavio Lones was incoming to Pentos in order to visit their brother Hank who was one of the main targets of the invasion of Pentos. Marge Lones was coming with a troop of soldiers alongside her bodyguard lover Francis of House Yendarrion of whom was planning to propose their marriage during their time in Pentos. Natashia ordered her most loyal follower and sister in Alice to deal with the women, and she made sure that her sister understood that this was going to be as a killing could get. Alice went with the Mad Hatter, Meshire Cat, and the Knave of Clubs alongside an assortment of soilders and once they had entered Pentos they followed Marge Lones for a day before ambushing were she slept with Francis Yendarrion leaving Francis brutally killed, and kidnapping Marge and taking her west of the city before leaving her naked in the forest. Once she woke up they left a trail for her towards Pentos and they proceeded to stalk Marge Lones for two days as they drove her farther and farther towards Pentos. When Alice finally believed they had gotten the correct amount of fear out of her she bid Mad Hatter to kill her and leave her body in the most violent of ways in the garden that her family loved so much. The Mad Hatter obliged and dragged her all the way back to the garden where he discovered that her brother had guards searching the area for any signs of where she might have gone. The Mad Hatter waited until nighfall and then brought her to the center of the garden where he proceeded to do the actual act of killing her. Knowing he had to make it appear ritualistic and she had to have pain he proceeded to ceremonially butcher her and then her body parts were left strewn about the ground. With her death secured Natashia had Meshire Cat, and Alice watch the scene unfold as Hank was taken to see the body, and they relayed to her the pain and anguish that was all over his face as he looked at the scene, and all Natashia could think about was how he was next.
| Fall of Pentos
Pentos was the first real step for us. We took it and there was just no hiding anymore. After Pentos we either won or we died. I didn't plan on dying. My plan was to watch those who had done me wrong fall into ashes.
Fall of Pentos
Main Article : Invasion of Pentos At the end of the Rise of Lucerne there is a small exert where a guardsmen on the tallest tower of Pentos looks out to the west of the city and sees a large army amassed in the pitch of night outside the walls. And as he looks closer he sees the gate opening for them. As the guardsmen rushes to ring the bell alerting the city he is sliced from behind by a man he describes as a skinny man wearing a mask that looks like a strange cat. This could very easily be Cheshire Cat, or Gnat the Cat, but either way this signals that the invasion has gone ahead and with the situation the guardsmen described the chance of success for the rabbits is very high.

Women and the revolution
- By Lauren E. Bohn <p> Lauren E. Bohn is a Fulbright fellow and multimedia journalist based in Cairo. Follow her on Twitter at @LaurenBohn. </p> , Sarah Lynch
CAIRO — When 19-year-old Nahal protested in Tahrir Square several weeks ago, she wasn't there to fight for her rights as a woman, but to fight for her rights as an Egyptian. "There are no differences between men and women here," she said. "We are all one hand."
Thousands of women echoed Nahal's sentiments as they raised brazen signs, led lively chants, and stood next to men in what some have deemed an unprecedented display of equality between the sexes in modern Egyptian history.

30 Hudson Street
New York, NY, 10013
Meet David?s newest in the world of culinary delights, named Brushstroke. The restaurant sits on Hudson Street between Duane and Reade Streets, features a dining room with 65 seats, a lounge with 24 seats, and a massive kitchen that serves as the home to chefs Isao Yamada and Hiroki Murashima. But this is much more than just another Japanese restaurant serving up sushi and sashimi?.
David?s newest location focuses on cosy Kyoto-style seasonal dining, with an emphasis on the ingredients. And while the food takes center attention, the design details are just as spectacular: a live fish tank downstairs, Japanese seeds imported specially in order to grow produce, and over 20,000 recycled paperback books as the walls. With three years of planning, fifteen years of dreaming, and 10,000 sample dishes that David created, Brushstrokes left me full of more than just succulent Japanese delights.

Switch to Digital Television
If you're still using an analog antenna to get your television, you'll soon need a new digital box between the antenna and the TV to get your favorite shows.
February 17, 2009, is the day that analog broadcasting ends from full-power broadcast television stations, to be replaced by digital TV. Going digital frees up spectrum for other usesmaybe even some kind of nationwide wireless broadband to come. Moreover, DTV provides a better picture. In general, anyone with a cable or satellite TV service, or who bought a new TV after March 1, 2007, when digital tuners became a manufacturers' requirement, is probably fine and won't notice a thing.
If you don't fit the above criteria, you might need a DTV tuner box. For those who just want to watch their stories on the tube, it sounds like a major hassle. Luckily, the federal government has a bailout for those 6.8 percent of U.S. households that Nielsen says aren't ready yet. Anyone who needs to buy a digital tuner can get a $40 rebate via www.dtv2009.org. Zenith sells a nice one for just $60. Obviously, anyone switching from analog to digital is going to have some minimal out-of-pocket expense. You can find a lot more information on the switch at www.dtv.org.
Remember, moving to DTV is not the same as getting HDTV, which requires an HDTV-capable television, cables, receiver, and so forth. Leichtman Research Group has found that 18 percent of people with HDTV sets think they're watching HD programming, even when they're not. In other words, don't bother with the new plasma set unless you're willing to upgrade the cable box.

Throughout the day we've been running interviews with the cast of Iron Man 3, to mark the film's UK release. We're finishing off with what was by far our favourite interview: director, Shane Black and writer Drew Pearce.
We say 'interview', because in the near half-hour we spent with them, we only managed to shoehorn in around ten questions. Really it was a case of sitting back, watching the banter and occasionally trying to steer the pair back onto the film when they went off course.
Check it out below, where they discuss their thoughts on the franchise, living with one another while developing the movie and Black's love of Steve Coogan. Spoilers are hinted at…
Their thoughts on the first Iron Man as a character and the franchise so far
Shane Black: I think the first one was more about Tony and less about Iron Man. It's an Iron Man film which is an attempt to make it more character-centric, and get back to the best of what I think Marvel comics brought to me, even as a kid. Which was the real person as a superhero. Up until 1961 you didn't really have superheroes who had high school problems. And Spider-Man's Peter Parker was the first guy to actually not be able to make the football team, and he has a girl he likes that doesn't like him, things like that. And Tony Stark was always the more realistic one to me. If you look at the first Iron Man, all that stuff took place in Vietnam which, even as a kid, I knew was a real place where stuff happened, even on the TV. It set itself up as the superhero which existed within a geopolitical reality.
Drew Pearce: Shane always talked at the beginning of this process about how he feels like a movie's best when it's a stew. When you put tons of different flavours in there, and then you get a more complicated result. Even if, on some levels, it's still a straight ahead movie, there's more elements to it. We both agreed that what the first Iron Man movie did so well was a sense of being based in reality.
SB: The strangest thing I've ever seen, the combination of a Tom Clancy type international thriller about a kidnapped billionaire and a government searching for him, and then this romantic comedy, His Girl Friday relationship between him and Pepper.
How Tony develops through the series, and in Iron Man 3.
DP: There's a huge amount of rom-com in the first movie, and that's absolutely what we wanted to get back to here as well. Partly because you've got a thing that's very rare in summer movies. You've got two grown-ups who are now in a relationship, and it's a relationship you understand because you've come three movies with that relationship already. You just don't get to explore either the comedy or the drama in that kind of relationship in these movies. So that was a huge fun part of it.
And it also plays into the bigger picture about what Tony's doing in this movie, in many ways. The Avengers is the end of Tony's traditional hero trilogy, he saves the world. And so this is a movie about what happens when even that doesn't fill the void that's in you, and I think that plays into his relationship with Pepper as well. This is a guy who was a playboy for most of his life. How do you settle into your new role?
SB: There was this sense in The Avengers that we got a taste for the first time of him and Pepper in a relationship that was just flirty and happy. They're together and they're happy to be together. That's fine as far as that goes, but you've got to start to mess that up a bit if you're going to proceed for another movie's worth. We saw the interim version when they're this flirty couple, but what is it when that starts to show strain at the seams?
DP: What happens when James Bond moves in with his girlfriend? She usually dies, luckily Pepper doesn't.
SB: Who's he with, Rachel Weisz?
DP: I was thinking more of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
SB: Oh yeah, she gets gunned down. Maybe someone will do that to Rachel Weisz.
DP: Why would you even say that!? [Laughter]
SB: Don't say that. I didn't mention Rachel Weisz being gunned down, because I don't want her to be. She's a stellar actress.
Making things harder for Tony Stark
Drew Pearce: We sat down at the beginning and said, 'How can we do MacGyver?'. No, I think that came from one of the things Shane threw into the pot at the beginning. Shane had this phrase, 'sci-fi Capra', that he wanted to incorporate.
SB: A Christmas movie that had at least one image of a guy wandering at night through the snow, looking for the lights in the distance, with his buddy behind him, his Iron Man who's crippled and being dragged.
DP: Our challenge was to find that Capra-esque sense of destiny and wonder. One of the things we loved at the beginning, and I think what Maya is in the movie, is about the innocence of science and how that gets compromised. That's what we were trying to get at in the beginning of the middle section. Basically we knew we wanted to take stuff away from Tony. I think you have to, to get to the movie that we wanted. But we didn't just want to do it in this modern trope, super bleak way. We wanted there to be a bit of magic in there as well. Doing it at Christmas always helps that, there's a twinkle to the movie.
SB: It's the sense of a good spirit behind it. In other words, there's a desperate quality, and a real sense of people being pushed to the limits of their endurance. In this case Tony, with the time clock running and having to move fast, and prowl through the snow, and improvise things to survive. All those things are great, but at the same time to get the sense of a real old-fashioned western adventure to it, almost. The small town really catered to the western feel, and the showdown with these gunslingers.
DP: Of course, the first Iron Man movie did brilliantly and also what we wanted from it, you kind of had to take that and undermine it at the same time. It was a big risk doing the Harley scenes. We didn't want to be the guys that got criticised for bringing a kid into the Iron Man universe. The way you have to run at that is by undercutting it whilst also keeping your eye on the ball, making sure there's an emotional resonance to it.
SB: It is truly the ghost of Christmas past, too, it's the Christmas Carol story. He meets this woman who attacks him as the ghost of all the women he's left in the morning without calling. This kid is alone in the shed, with the snow outside, it's him as a young boy virtually, he's the ghost of Christmas past.
DP: And also he is partly responsible for the demons of the movie. If he hadn't had that extra bottle of Cristal, maybe he wouldn't have said what he said to Killyon, and maybe Maya's past would have been different as well. Her path is kind of an inversion of Tony's. Tony started off as this impure character that worked his way to heroism, and Maya starts off as the wonder of science and ends of compromised.
Studio involvement
DP: We suggested it. It came from this Capra thing as well. We liked the idea of doing a Shane Black take on a 'Spielbergian' moment, that seemed like fun. Actually nothing came from the studio. Partly because The Avengers hadn't even shot when we started thinking about this. We were given a clean slate mandate, which is very rare and I don't even know if we'd have had that if we started writing after The Avengers came out. We got lucky, we were in the pocket, where we could sit in Shane's house for four months and go, 'What do we want to do with it?'.
SB: To Kevin Feige [producer]'s credit, he was good about saying, 'We want a stand alone movie. We just did The Avengers, but we're not looking to simply replicate that. Go back to another style, go back to another type of conceit'. The template they have, they could easily just cookie cut these things. But they really do vary it. I have admiration for Marvel for their ability to not continue to capitalise on success by trying to replicate it.
DP: Having said that, there were things from the first movie that were so good – it was more about trying to tap back into that stuff as well. Like we say, the rom-com of it, and the reality of it. I don't just mean the real world reality. There's an emotional reality to what Favreau and Robert achieved with that movie, and that was the other thing we needed to get back to.
The Extremis storyline
DP: I mailed Warren [Ellis – writer of the Extremis arc in the comics] and said, 'Just so you know I think we're going to be doing this', and Warren's brilliant and was just, 'Take what you need to with my blessing'. I actually think, conceptually, Warren Ellis is this brilliant futurist. He has all these fantastic ideas. We actually had more of that science in the movie at various points, but what it really does come down to is his idea of being able to hack human DNA. He calls it the human operating system, and that's a fantastic idea. What we liked about that was posing that with the kind of – you talk about Extremis.
SB: Yes, and the Five Nightmares, too.
DP: Matt Fraction's a brilliant Iron Man writer as well, I don't think he gets his due in the Marvel cinematic universe. His modern take on Iron Man is fantastic, the tone of it is amazing.
References to the comics in the film
DP: There are plenty of easter eggs in the movie. Sometimes in the suits, one of the people that blows up is actually named after a character called Firepower, which is just a gag really. There's also easter eggs from our lives as well. The numerical address of Tony is the address of my accountant's.
SB: There's nothing to really sneak in, everything is there. It's very overt.
DP: Neither of us really write like that, we're not really interested in that reference-orama kind of writing. Any homage tends to be more tonal. We can tap into the comics like that.
SB: Brandt is an easter egg. The woman's name is Brandt and if you read Marvel comics, that's the Brandt who was horribly scarred from the Man-Thing, it seared her face with its hand.
DP: To that level it's in there, but that's just not what we do.
Filming new scenes for the Chinese version of the film
DP: I'll take this one! I think what's interesting is there's going to be this curate's egg of a movie out there, which has essentially an additional story in it. I don't think it'll be the one that most of the world sees, but it's almost going to become this prized pop culture artefact in the way that the Star Wars Holiday Special is.
SB: So what you're saying, with a bit of a wink, is that it's going to have that same relation to the original Star Wars – there'll be Iron Man and then the Chinese version of Iron Man.
DP: I'm actually watching the movie on Monday, they've organised for me to see it…. It takes a fundamental character from our movie that wasn't in it as much, and extrapolates a bit more of what was going on.
SB: It's sort of exciting, it's scenes only seen in China and it's an additional plotline.
DP: We only finished this version of the movie three weeks ago, and we've gone straight into all of this stuff.
On the humour in the film
DP: Shane's the biggest fan of Monty Python I've ever met.
SB: I don't like America! [Laughter]
DP: Whereas I love America. I think there's a bit of everything in there.
SB: It's a great place to visit. The real humour nowadays – Steve Coogan is my favourite.
DP: We talked a lot about Partridge.
SB: Alan Partridge is just breathtakingly funny.
DP: It's my favourite TV comedy of all time.
SB: I adapt. If I'm working with someone who's British, and they reference British comedy, I'll go watch them or I'll already have known about them.
DP: When we were writing, it was the thing Shane kept pushing me more and more towards. Which was amazing because I didn't necessarily expect that. But your whole thing is that the drama's better, and the action's better, the more humour there is around it.
SB: I get frustrated when a studio will say – not Marvel – but when they say, 'Well this is a sad scene, the character's wife just died, so he's not going to make a joke', and it's like, 'Bullshit!', you know.
DP: Also it's about trying to make a scene do more than one thing at the same time. Cover your ears, Shane, I'm going to say something nice. One of the things that Shane did so brilliantly as a director is, it's easy to talk about all of those different elements and you can even get them down on the page. But actually directing a movie that I think remains remarkably consistent in its overall tone, while zigzagging through both genre, and some surprises that I'm proud we've Trojan horsed into the movie – that's all him, and I think that's an amazing thing to have achieved. You can take your hands off your ears.
Joining the juggernaut and making the world of Iron Man their own
SB: I thought that there would be a way to work with Downey and make something unusual. Having worked with him before, I thought, I like Iron Man 1 enough that if we gave it a third act that's viable, we could maybe make a movie that's better.
DP: That's what you have to shoot for.
SB: You have to try to top it, and I was excited about the prospect of it. Also just the prospect of having a green lit movie, because I'd worked forever to try and get a project up and running. I had a couple that were close, and then fell through. I thought, 'This is great, I'm getting paid. But I'm not making a movie'. And here's one that has a release date. They're fairly strict about these things, once the train goes, the train goes.
DP: It's the gift and the curse of these movies. You get a release date, and then you're going to make this movie.
SB: So they're going to make this film, there's no way they're not going to make this film. If I work really hard I could be sitting in that chair in a year doing what I'm doing, all systems go. I took that option. It was the right choice at the time and I think it was ultimately a good thing I did. There was plenty of story to tell, I get to work with my friend Robert, and I get to meet Drew. And I get to meet all of you great people.
DP: And I personally think it feels like a Shane Black movie, you know. I genuinely feel honoured that I was able to help get there, because that's exciting. A Shane Black superhero movie. That in itself is a kind of genre mashup, in a way. And that's why I hope it's going to be a surprise for people as well. What's great about this week, we didn't realise press were going to get to see it before we spoke to you, the time crunch on these things is insane.
Their creative partnership
DP: I felt like I moved in with Shane for the first four months, into his gigantic but also spooky mansion in Los Angeles. But our relationship was totally harmonious, we were still in the honeymoon period.
SB: We sniffed each other, basically. It was an enforced marriage between two people who were raised to believe they were going to marry other people.
DP: We ended up, weirdly, fighting back to back against other things coming in. They maybe got more than they expected.
SB: That's true. We did share women! [Laughter]
DP: We did not share women. Shane never shares his women. [Laughter]
SB: You can have Rachel.
DP: She's dead.
On working together again in the future
SB: He's my speech therapist.
DP: I am his psychiatrist, we've got a long road ahead of us. Truthfully, this has been such an intense two years, you don't really get the chance to sit around going, 'Hey, what shall we do now?', because we literally only finished three weeks ago.

Tracy, Louis: The Day of Wrath. v1. 20 Mar 2013
cLouis Tracy (1863 - 1928) was a British journalist, and prolific writer of fiction. He used the pseudonyms Gordon Holmes and Robert Fraser, which were at times shared with M. P. Shiel, a collaborator from the start of the twentieth century.
He was born in Liverpool to a well-to-do middle-class family. At first he was educated at home and then at the French Seminary at Douai. Around 1884 he became a reporter for a local paper - 'The Northern Echo' at Darlington, circulating in parts of Durham and North Yorkshire]; later he worked for papers in Cardiff and Allahabad. During 1892-1894 he was closely associated with Arthur Harmsworth, in 'The Sun' and 'The Evening News and Post'.
Von Halwig was in front, impartially cursing and shoving aside the crowd of police and railway men. A gigantic ticket-inspector, catching sight of the Guardsman, bellowed an order to "clear the way;" but a general officer created a momentary diversion by choosing that forbidden exit. Von Halwig's heels clicked, and his right hand was raised in a salute, so Dalroy was given a few seconds wherein to scrutinise the face of the terrified woman who had addressed him. He saw that she was young, an Englishwoman, and undoubtedly a lady by her speech and garb.

Clean rooms, if somewhat worn. Limited isolation of parking lot from street access.
Staff was friendly. Room was nice, clean. No coffee maker in room. Continental Breakfast was awful. Stale bagels and cheap pastry
Location worked for me. Good eats close by. Price was fair. A/C was loud and disruptive. Shower was fair.
Leaving!!!!!!!!!! Well I didn't like the bed bugs I found or the crack hoe in the room below me. Manager was too busy taking care of her son instead of doing her job. Finally got refund and went to a different hotel.

While there is some confusion existing over this point,
attorneys can deposit some of their own money into their
IOLTA accounts in order to cover for bank charges. The reference
from the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct is
at Rule 1.15 (b)(2)(i):
'(2) No funds belonging to the lawyer shall be deposited or
retained in a trust account except that:
(i) Funds reasonably sufficient to pay bank charges may be
deposited therein'
This article, from the Board of Bar
Overseers' ethics articles repository, makes reference to
recordkeeping requirements for those funds deposited therein, as
'Records that lawyers are required to make and keep of the receipt
and disposition of trust funds-- including a check register,
individual client ledgers and an additional individual ledger for
the small
amount of the lawyer's own funds on deposit to pay bank
charges-- are described in detail. Rule 1.15(f).'
(emphasis mine)
Here's more, from the Massachusetts IOLTA Committee, as follows:
'It is permissible to maintain a minimal amount of attorney funds
in the account to cover service charges, check charges and minimum
balances. Treat these funds as a separate "client" and keep track
of them on their own ledger. Deduct these charges from the account
You can, and should, keep a nominal amount of your own money in
your IOLTA account, in order to cover for the referenced, potential
charges -- especially if you take credit card payments, where 'chargebacks' are at issue. (If you do take
credit cards for payment, consider the Massachusetts
Bar Association member benefit company, Affinipay's LawPay credit card processing program, to help
you to manage those transactions.)

Fantasy Wardrobe Draft: Our Faves from NYFWAs summer draws to a close, men everywhere participate in the hallowed tradition of the Fantasy Football draft. They pore over stats, articles, and message boards while they put together the perfect team. Largely, women just don't get it. But, I do. I get it because every fall, I pore over thousands of photos from the spring collections at fashion week, and hold what I affectionately refer to as my "Fantasy Wardrobe Draft." I spend hours carefully selecting the outfits that would inhabit my dream wardrobe if money were no object. These are my top outfits from this season's shows—click through to see what I'll be wearing if I happen to get invited to the Oscars.
Oscar de la Renta
1 / 10
About a year ago, I went through a serious mixed prints fetish. It was all stripes with florals and polka dots with paisley in this neck of the woods. Apparently, this love has stuck with me like a toxic ex-boyfriend. I'm ready to rekindle my affair with mixed prints, and this plaid and nautical print dress set my heart aflutter!
Vivienne Tam
2 / 10
Mara Hoffman
3 / 10
I'm always jealous whenever I pass one of those too-cool-for-school boho chicks on the street. Unfortunately, my high-strung East Coast pedigree precludes me from the bohemian attitude, but that doesn't mean I can't get in on the bohemian wardrobe. This dress stole my heart with its funky pattern and laid-back cut.
J. Mendel
4 / 10
As a child, I thought the highlight of being an adult was getting to wear a business suit. Of course, this was the early-90's, during the height of the reign of power suits. These days, the only chicks wearing the power suits of my childhood dreams are politicians, bankers, and the frazzled, dowdy women you tend to run into on the subway. I picture this as the creative alternative to my fantasy. Its every bit as chic, but much more fun.
Herve Leger
5 / 10
This season's Herve Leger collection blew me away! When the brand began its meteoric rise in popularity a few years ago, I wasn't on board. The bodycon dresses looked so uncomfortable, like you were squeezing yourself into a full-body pair of Spanx! But this season, I'm a convert! The silhouettes feel more wearable, but the dresses are still just as sexy as they've been in years past.

The last few seasons, there has been a serious Mad Men effect reflected in the outfits we're seeing on the runway. Trust me, I'm not complaining; the three Draper ladies (Betty, Sally, and Megan) are some of the best-dressed gals on TV. You better believe I'll be seeking out a lace skirt ASAP.
Jason Wu
10 / 10
Let's pretend I get invited to the Oscar's (FYI, we're talking as Best Original Screenplay nominee, and not as a date to the sound engineer on a foreign movie no one has seen or heard of). I'm wearing this dress. Hear that ladies of Hollywood? I called dibs! When this dress came down the runway, the closing outfit of Jason Wu's truly fantastic collection, I let out an audible gasp. This dress is perfection. So now that I have the dress, I just need to write the Academy Award winning screenplay. Easy, right?

Hey there, time traveller!

Celebrity action heroes
WE professional media types can recognize trends from as far as three football fields away.
The one we've just spotted involves celebrities riding to the rescue of persons far less famous than themselves.
In the latest example, Oscar-nominated actor John Malkovich, in Toronto to appear in a play, recently saved a U.S. tourist after the elderly man tripped on a curb downtown, slashing his throat on a piece of scaffolding.
Finding Ohio native Jim Walpole, 77, lying in a pool of blood, Malkovich heroically applied pressure to the man's neck, keeping him alive until the ambulance arrived.
Speaking of heroes, in a brand-new memoir, one of the British Army's first openly gay soldiers reveals Prince Harry saved him from being beaten by homophobic members of a rival regiment during training in Alberta in 2008.
In a just-released excerpt, Lance Corporal James Wharton says six soldiers threatened to beat him up, but the flame-haired prince, Wharton's tank commander, confronted the troops and, in the strongest possible terms, told them to back off.
These are just two names on a growing list of celebrities who have become action heroes in real life. Here are five more who got going when the going got tough:
Forget jumping on Oprah's couch, Tom Cruise leaped into action in 1996 when he saw a woman struck by a hit-and-run driver and not only stayed until the ambulance arrived, but followed her to the hospital and, learning she wasn't insured, paid the $7,000 hospital bill himself. Later that year, the superstar was hailed for saving two young boys from being crushed against a fence by crowds of fans and paparazzi at one of his premieres. In 1998, according to the Chicago Tribune, Cruise ran to rescue a neighbour, who was being robbed of $153,000 worth of jewelry while stepping out of her sports car in London. "Tom was brilliant," cooed Rita Simmonds. "He rushed down the road with his bodyguards and chased the attackers away."
Famous for driving fast and saving lives on the silver screen, actor Vin Diesel combined the two in real life in 2002. The famously bald actor was riding his motorcycle down a Hollywood freeway when a car in front of him got in an accident, rolled and burst into flames. According to news reports, the star of XXX and Fast and Furious screeched to a halt, ran to the car, pulled several children out of the back seat before it was engulfed in flames.
In 2012, Canadian heartthrob Patrick Dempsey got a taste of what his TV character, Dr. Derek Shepherd, goes through on Grey's Anatomy. Weston Masset, 17, lost control of his Mustang, which flipped and rolled three times near Dempsey's Malibu, Calif., home, leaving the teenager trapped and barely conscious. Armed with a crowbar and a fire extinguisher, Dempsey pulled the boy to safety.
Gazing up at Dempsey, the dazed kid chirped: "Are you famous?"
Quipped "McDreamy": "Yeah, I'm a doctor."
Legendary Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra made a lot of saves with his glove, but he really stepped up to the plate in 2005. Garciaparra and his uncle were in his Boston Harbor condo when they heard a scream and a splash. The all-star shortstop ran outside to help the woman, just as her friend fell in and struck her head on the pier. "I swam towards them and by the time I reached them, Nomar was already there holding the girls up," his uncle, Victor, told reporters. When the unconscious woman came to, the first thing she said was: "Are you Nomar?"
Our favourite rescue involves two plucky women who were on a five-hour climb of a mountain in Idaho in 2000 when one of them, Sarah George, 20, was overcome by heat, altitude and dehydration. Her friend used a cellphone to call for help and then moved her ill companion to a nearby meadow.
When the emergency helicopter arrived and George was placed on board, she discovered the pilot -- "He was wearing a T-shirt and a cowboy hat" -- was none other than Harrison Ford, star of blockbuster films and the owner of his own Bell 407 chopper.
With about a minute to go before landing at hospital in Jackson, Wy., George lost her cookies in an emergency medical technician's hat.
"I can't believe I barfed in Harrison Ford's helicopter!" she later told The Associated Press.
And if that doesn't deserve to be on a T-shirt, we don't know what does!

Paris -
The trial opened in Paris on Tuesday of an illegal taxi driver and convicted rapist alleged to have kidnapped and brutally murdered a Swedish student after picking her up outside a Paris nightclub.
The 2008 murder of Susanna Zetterberg, a 19-year-old from Stockholm studying French and working part-time in a cafe in the French capital, caused widespread shock and disgust in France and Sweden after her partially burnt body was discovered near Paris.
Bruno Cholet, 55, denies the kidnapping and murder charges, claiming police fabricated the evidence against him. He faces spending the rest of his life in prison if convicted in the trial, which is scheduled to run until September 14.
Cholet, an overweight man wearing thick glasses, was impassive as Judge Xaviere Simeoni asked him to give his name and address at the opening of the trial. He mumbled some answers and at one point appeared confused about the proceedings.
The trial was suspended immediately after jury selection when Cholet said he was feeling unwell. It was unclear when it would resume.
Zetterberg's mother, father and brother were seated in the front row, surrounded by their lawyers and a Swedish interpreter. They said nothing to journalists as they entered the court.
Zetterberg was last seen leaving a nightclub and entering a taxi in central Paris at around 4:45 am on Saturday April 19, 2008.
Later the same day her partially burnt body was discovered in the Chantilly forest, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of Paris. She had been shot at least four times in the head and had her hands tied behind her back with a brand of handcuffs sold in sex shops.
The state of her body made it impossible to establish if she had suffered a sexual assault.
Traced though files on unlicensed cab drivers and images of a man seen using Zetterberg's bank cards following the murder, Cholet was arrested six days after her killing.
Shortly after his arrest, a pistol, bullets, rubber gloves and handcuffs were found in Cholet's car, some of the material containing traces of Zetterberg's DNA, according to the prosecution case.
Police also reported the discovery in the car of a plastic bag with the victim's name written incorrectly as "Susana 377" on it in felt pen.
As well as having been charged five times for operating an illegal cab, the accused has a string of serious convictions, including three for rape and one for armed robbery. - Sapa-AFP

In 2002, Nicholas Maw's opera Sophie's Choice, based on the novel by William Styron, was given its premiere at the Royal Opera House. The subject had struck Maw when he had first watched the film several years previously, and he immediately felt it would be 'the most extraordinary basis for an opera'. Commissioned by the Royal Opera House and BBC Radio 3, Maw embarked on an adaptation of Styron's book, which took six years to complete. Conducted by Simon Rattle, a long-term enthusiast of Nicholas Maw's music, and with a wonderful cast led by Angelika Kirchschlager, Rod Gilfry, Dale Duesing and Gordon Gietz, the work won international acclaim and was later restaged in Washington, Berlin and Vienna. The Royal Opera House celebrates the work of this British composer, who died in 2009, with the release on DVD of the BBC transmission, as broadcast live in December 2002.
"…the central performances of Angelika Kirschlager and Rodney Gilfry as doomed lovers Sophie and Nathan were deemed to be among the most committed and convincing ever seen at the Royal Opera House." The Independent

Bourne End is a large residential village mostly in the parish of Wooburn and Bourne End, but also in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. Many properties here face Berkshire on the opposite Thames bank, most are upstream of where the River Wye meets the river and it has its own station on a four-station branch line from Maidenhead railway station on the Great Western Main Line.
Bourne End's original location is somewhat different from today's established village centre, a half a mile downstream on the River Thames. The name refers to the end of the river (bourne being an Old English term for 'river'), and it would be the mouth of the River Wye that this is derived from. The then hamlet appears on Morden's 1722 map of Buckinghamshire as "Born end". It was noted in the nineteenth century however, that the name had been corrupted to "Bone End", apparently through local mispronunciation, and thence on official maps and documents; in 1858, the vicar of Wooburn successfully reversed this, and the corrected name remains in use today.
The entire length of the River Wye was the provider of water power for many mills in the valley for hundreds of years, and Bourne End was no exception. There were four on the final stretch of the river; Princes Mill, Jacksons (or Gunpowder) Mill, Hedsor Mill and Lower Mill. These mills were historically the predominant employers of the area, along with the local farms and two wharfs on the Thames.
In the early nineteenth century, the settlement known as Bourne End was a hamlet of Wooburn parish, along with others such as Spring Gardens, Eghams Green, Cores End, Heavens Lea and Upper Bourne End. This changed with the emergence of the Wycombe Railway Company in 1846. By 1854, Isambard Kingdom Brunel had designed and constructed a railway linking Maidenhead to High Wycombe. The station was originally known as Marlow Road station, until 1874, a year after the branch line to Marlow was built, and from then on Bourne End station. The railway created more travel opportunities for locals and greatly benefited the mills, and thus Bourne End expanded, on a greater scale than other similar settlements in the surrounding area. See Marlow Branch Line and Marlow Donkey for more information.
The hamlets soon merged into what is now known as Bourne End, as did Well End and Coldmoorholme in the neighbouring parish of Little Marlow. Both a church and school were built at the turn of the century for the residents' convenience. The Parade became established as the focal point of the village for shops and services.
In the 1920s Bourne End became home for two distinguished literary figures; Enid Blyton, a perennially popular children's writer, moved into Old Thatch on Coldmoorholm Lane, and Edgar Wallace, a prolific crime author and dramatist, bought Chalklands off Blind Lane. Another resident was Louis Blériot, the French aviator and aircraft builder, who lived at New York Lodge beside the Thames from 1916 to 1926, when it burnt down.
The Royalty Cinema opened in The Parade in 1934. The late 1940s saw extensive development in Bourne End, of the Chalklands estate and the Council Estate north of The Parade. The 1960s saw the building of Community Centre and Library in Wakeman Road after some years of local campaigning.
The Beeching Axe hit the northward railway line in 1969 that announced the line between Bourne End and High Wycombe would be shut: the northern track bed was lifted soon after closure in 1970 to be lated in part developed on as an office park yet most remains as a footpath between the village and Wooburn.
Research Tips
Registration Offices
Birth, marriage and death certificates can now be ordered online from Buckinghamshire County Council. The full postal address is Buckinghamshire Register Office, County Hall, Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1YU.
The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies (County Hall, Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1UU) holds
In Buckinghamshire, as with other counties in England and Wales, the location of offices where Births, Marriages and Deaths were registered has altered with other changes in local government. A list of the location of Registration Offices since civil registration began in 1837 has been prepared by GENUKI (Genealogy: United Kingdom and Ireland). The table also gives details of when each Registration Office was in existence. In the case of Buckinghamshire, the same registration offices were used for the censuses since 1851.
Nineteenth Century Local Administration
English Jurisdictions is a webpage provided by FamilySearch which analyses every ecclesiastical parish in England at the year 1851. It provides, with the aid of outline maps, the date at which parish records and bishops transcripts begin, non-conformist denominations with a chapel within the parish, the names of the jurisdictions in charge: county, civil registration district, probate court, diocese, rural deanery, poor law union, hundred, church province; and links to FamilySearch historical records, FamilySearch Catalog and the FamilySearch Wiki. Two limitations: only England, and at the year 1851.
During the 19th century two bodies, the Poor Law Union and the Sanitary District, had responsibility for governmental functions at a level immediately above that covered by the civil parish. In 1894 these were replace by Rural and Urban Districts. These were elected bodies, responsible for setting local property assessments and taxes as well as for carrying out their specified duties. Thses districts continued in operation until 1974. Urban districts for larger municipalities were called "Municipal Boroughs" and had additional powers and obligations.
Poor Law Unions, established nationally in 1834, combined parishes together for the purpose of providing relief for the needy who had no family support. This led to the building of '"union poorhouses" or "workhouses" funded by all the parishes in the union. The geographical boundaries established for the individual Poor Law Unions were employed again when Registration Districts were formed three years later. In 1875 Sanitary Districts were formed to provide services such as clean water supply, sewage systems, street cleaning, and the clearance of slum housing. These also tended to follow the same geographical boundaries, although there were local alterations caused by changes in population distribution.

Caledonia Argus
As far back as the 1920s the City of Caledonia has established an ice skating rink. The location has changed over the years; the rink was once located near the current elementary school. Annual dance benefits were held to raise funds for the skating rink. In the early 1940s the Caledonia Commercial Club would sponsor skating races. Eventually the rink was relocated to Veteran's Memorial Ball Field where it has remained for the last several decades.
The original warming house was a metal shed with an old stove, but today if you ask most citizens what they remember best about the rink they'll probably mention Archie Longueville.
Longueville served as the skating rinks manager for several years. Not only would Longueville flood the skating rink every year, he would manage the warming house and sharpen blades for skaters.
Nowadays the management of the rink falls on the shoulders of elementary physical education teacher Jan Meisch and Caledonia zoning administrative coordinator Mike Gerardy. Meisch became involved with the ice skating rink during the 1995-96 winter season. Meisch said the school had started a program called "February Fitness" to encourage students to be active in the winter months.
"The idea was to promote broom ball games at the ice skating rink," Meisch said. "After the fitness program ended I just kind of stayed with the skating rink."
Over the years Meisch has continued to help organize volunteers to manage the warming house. "No one wants to give up a Saturday to watch the warming house, but maybe every other Saturday."
Meisch admitted, however, that with the number of warm winters in recent years there is no guarantee that all the volunteers were needed. The inconsistent nature of Minnesota's winter makes it difficult to plan too far ahead. Last year the temperature never stayed below freezing long enough to flood the skating rink.
City hall has received its share of calls concerning the rink. Gerardy has taken over the task of flooding the rink, and acknowledged the difficulty in maintaining the ice. "It's all dependent on Mother Nature," Gerardy said.
This year the city has made an attempt to flood the rink, but the continuing warm temperatures have halted any progress.
While an indoor rink is easier to regulate, an outdoor rink is at the mercy of the sun. Setting up the rink every year is not as simple as turning on a hose and waiting for water to freeze. "It takes several days to properly flood the rink," Gerardy explained. "You need to create layers; otherwise, you get a honeycomb effect and the ice easily breaks."
In addition, the water in the rink is held in place by a barrier of snow. Without an adequate amount of snow to surround the rink, the water will drain away.
Even though the Caledonia skating rink is currently not adequately frozen over, Gerardy gave his assurance that if the weather cooperated the city would attempt to re-flood the rink.
For Caledonia residents itching for a chance to break in their skates, La Crescent has an indoor rink with free skating on Saturdays.

OMG,, when i bought this phone home back from the shops i was so happy and i couldnt stop playing with it and i loved it so much. then my friends started getting touch phones and their's looks so much easier to use. the four bars on the bottom of the screen automatically direct you to your messages, home screen, contacts and the thing that you use to dial the numbers but if you wanted to find anything else you'd go a a wild goose chase.also when you were in the middle of comething (even texting) a little screen would pop up interupting your message telling you aboout it and you had to other click on it and loose what you were doing, or click close and forget about it until later. the touch screen needs alot of pressure to be able to go anywhere and when scrolling it would go out of control.although the phone is easy to access and get to places, you can downlaod games directly from the phone.. or maybe not at all and it is hard to get your photos from your phone to the internet with out a removable micro chip. you cant download themes or anything else similar to that either. AND NEVER PUT ON A SECERITY LOCK i nealry lost my phone by dong this, luckily for me i was changing sim cards and i got out of that sitcha week after my warrentee had past over, the screen on my phone broke... not snap in two broke but broke as the the pixels died and i couldnt use it. so now im getting a samsung star. praying that it is a better phone...Design 6/10Features 4/10Performance 4/10

I was really aiming to buy this phone basing it from the specs. The moment i had it, it was the start of my nightmare.

Bad gps performance
KC910i GPS has a awful performance, no mather if it is at assisted or stand allone mode.
If a functional gps is important to you, then do not buy this cell phone.

LG support is awful as well.
There is no firmware update.Design 6/10Features 5/10Performance 6/10

LG Renoir loudspeaker problem
A touchphone with many features but the one important function of it being a phone are not forfilled. If you speak to another person with the same type of phone you get interference when both phones have loudspeaker on. If another brand of phone nokia or motorola (tested) is used with the loudspeaker on calls a Lg renoir mobile with loudspeaker on there isn't a problem with speaker interference.Design 8/10Features 7/10Performance 2/10
- great features and style. Large screen.
- Speaker feedback when talking to another LG renoir user, when both of you have it on loudspeaker. Really annoying and makes it unuseable as a phone. Touchscreen is also a bit frustrating.

My wife and I (we live in Buffalo) stayed here for a weekend "staycation" to do things in the city that we wouldn't typically do, despite living about 3-4 miles away. The hotel was very nice, the room was well appointed, staff were friendly. Not a huge criticism, but it was somewhat "remarkably unremarkable." Had a drink at the 7th floor bar that was pretty good but pretty sure it cost like $16, I'm not sure it was quite that good.
We had an excellent nights stay. Bed was comfortable, room was very clean and modern and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. Would definitely stay again. Nothing.

Northern Stage Opens 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses,' 1/18
From the novel that was so scandalous that it was even banned in France for a time-banned in France for being too sexy!-comes Christopher Hampton's wonderfully wicked and funny play Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Innocents lose their virtue and reputations as Vicomte Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil each try to outdo the other in a cruel game of seduction and revenge. Is it simply human nature or truly evil behavior? Each audience member must decide.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses, directed by Brooke Ciardelli, with dialogue entirely in English, runs live on stage at Northern Stage at the Briggs Opera House in White River Junction, VT, from January 18 through February 5, and northern New England has never seen anything quite like it. For tickets and information, call 802-296-7000 or visit www.northernstage.org.
Two favorite Northern Stage actors return to do battle in 18th century France. John Patrick Hayden (Valmont) triumphed here as Hamlet and dazzled audiences in the fast-moving comedy The 39 Steps; Kathryn Merry, Hayden's co-star in The 39 Steps, most recently exploded on the stage as the take-charge German stewardess Gretchen in Boeing-Boeing. Together again, they are a mesmerizing pair. They're joined by Northern Stage veterans Louisa Flaningam (Driving Miss Daisy), Sutton Crawford (Romeo and Juliet, The Rainmaker, Amadeus), Kimberly Ann Sullivan (The Crucible), Alexis Hyatt (Amadeus) and Shu-Nan Chu and Michael Guess from Romeo and Juliet. Broadway actress Dee Pelletier is the newcomer to the area.
Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 5:00 p.m., except for the Opening Night performance on Friday, Jan. 20 at 7:00 p.m., with a 2:00 p.m. matinee on Thursday, Jan. 26. The show is sponsored by the River Valley Club and Summit Wealth Group.
Vicomte Valmont and the young widow Marquise de Merteuil, once and possibly future lovers, each has a sinister mission. De Merteuil seeks revenge on her former lover Gercourt, and Valmont seeks to seduce the virtuous-and married-Madame de Tourvel, simply to enhance his wicked reputation. (As he says, "To seduce a woman famous for strict morals, religious fervour and the happiness of her marriage: what could possibly be more prestigious?") So de Merteuil sets herself up as a confidante to young Cécile, Gercourt's intended wife who is fresh from a convent, and insists that Valmont seduce her. Behind the courtly public manners and witty repartee, the twin plots unfold-with a few unexpected twists.

Bring the ingredients down (4 acorns, 4 cherries) and score 80,000 points.
1 star: 80000 points
2 stars: 120000 points
3 stars: 180000 points
Try not to worry about the ingredients at first and clear out the 4 columns of white blocks to allow the ingredients to flow out. Note the transporters bring the ingredients one column closer to the goal, but if you can switch a piece moving it to the right, it does speed it up a little, but you only get 2 ingredients at a time, so plan wisely!

Patricia Frederick's Tips For Candy Crush Level 87
After you break the cream blocks, the 2 important columns to focus on are the 5th and 6th from the left—the last teleport and the closest exit. Make matches there to keep the candies continuously flowing—special candies will be helpful.

Reality check: How close are we to teleportation and Mars colonies?
Americans tend to be optimists when it comes to new technologies. According to a new Pew Research Center survey in partnership with Smithsonian Magazine, 59% of Americans think scientific and technological innovations over the next half-century will, overall, improve people's lives. We recently asked Americans about their views on a variety of scientific developments, including some innovations that are already moving out of the lab and into the real world, such as Japan's robotic attendants for the elderly and self-driving cars.
We also asked Americans how likely they thought five things were to happen by 2064. Here's what they said, presented in the order of those that Americans think most "definitely" and "probably" will happen, as well as a summary of current developments and research:
1People in need of an organ transplant will have new organs custom-made for them in a lab.
What the public says: 22% definitely will happen, 60% probably will happen
What science says: The first lab-grown bladders were transplanted into patients in 2006. A Boston company, Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, is building synthetic tracheas by growing a patient's own stem cells on lab-made scaffolding in "bioreactors." HART says its proprietary technology "gives us substantial expertise and intellectual property for developing products addressing diseases impacting other organs like the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves, and heart." Doris Taylor, director of regenerative medicine at the Texas Heart Institute, has built "bioartificial" hearts from rat tissues, and is testing the approach with other organs. She expects it will be at least a decade before such hearts would be ready for clinical tryouts, but simpler tissues such as blood vessels and cardiac valves could be in use sooner. And just last week came news that four teenage girls have received artificial vaginas grown from their own cells.
2Computers will be as effective as people at creating important works of art.
What the public says: 16% definitely, 35% probably
What science says: Artistic judgments on "importance" are best left to critics. However, Simon Colton, a British computer scientist, has developed The Painting Fool, software he says generates its own artwork and can digitally "paint" in several styles. Programmers at the University of Malaga in Spain have created Iamus, described as "the first computer-composer that doesn't require any human intervention" (you can listen to one of its compositions, for harpsichord and viola d'amore, here). But while computers might do well at writing sample business news and sports stories, the prospects for artful novels are not too promising yet. There have been several experiments with computer-written books, (including a 2006 variation on "Anna Karenina" titled "True Love"), but none of them are exactly what most people would call literature.
3Scientists will have developed a way to teleport objects — i.e., move them from one location to another without traversing the physical space in between.
What the public says: 7% definitely, 32% probably
What science says: A 2003 Air Force study examined the physics behind five hypothetical means of teleportation, from altering the geometry of space-time to using extra space dimensions, parallel universes or quantum entanglement. While scientists have been able to "teleport" individual atoms — essentially transferring quantum information from one atom onto another — that line of research is more likely to lead to quantum computing than to "Star Trek"-style transporters. (Though it would make interplanetary colonization, discussed below, a lot easier.)
4Humans will build colonies on another planet that can be lived in for long periods.
What the public says: 5% definitely, 28% probably
What science says: The most likely candidate for an off-Earth planetary colony is Mars, given its relative accessibility (36 million miles at its nearest approach) and similarity to Earth. In the past, NASA and the European Space Agency talked about sending manned missions to Mars by the 2030s, but now they are only discussing nearer-term unmanned missions. One private group, the Inspiration Mars Foundation, wants to send a two-person crew on a Mars flyby in 2018. Another, a Dutch nonprofit organization called Mars One, aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars, starting with a 2025 landing. Last year, more than 200,000 people from around the world applied for one of four one-way tickets on the first Mars One mission; 1,058 candidates have made it to the second round of the multi-part selection process. However, the latest data from the Curiosity rover indicate that radiation exposure would be a significant (though not necessarily insurmountable) challenge to any Martian expedition.
5Humans will be able to control the weather.
What the public says: 6% definitely, 13% probably
What science says: Humans already are affecting the climate, and not in a good way, according to a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But weather, unlike climate, is a near-term phenomenon. And while weather forecasts have become much more accurate in just the past few decades (as noted by, among others, Nate Silver), controlling the weather (or even just producing rain) has eluded humanity for centuries. Even cloud seeding, which has been practiced for decades, may be not as effective as once thought. Not that we've stopped trying: In 2010, a Slovak researcher named Jozef Solc patented a method for reducing a hurricane's destructive force by pumping seawater near the eyewall and diffusing it into the wind.

Real teleportation is at our fingertips today, if we could start thinking outside the box. We have events happening that points to teleporting, but since they cannot be explained from inside our box, they either do not exist, are alleged, or paranormal. We do have the science and the technology to make it happen today, we just need to change our thinking.
go to BmeupTeleport.com and review the videos of a teleportation project proposal.
A good bit of our technology is oriented towards rewarding the people that need it the least.
Witness the self-checkout lanes at grocers.
How does that reward people who least deserve it? Please explain.
really. Think about it.
Apparently the teleportation method needs to be decided on to affect the success. I thought it was just about reassembling the materials from instructions. I thought the other day about it as if the MRI were data for reassembly. I figured you'd make a safety copy,keep in place, and send the info to the materials box. As said in some movie sending your luggage would be more acceptable than sending yourself. You would never be exactly you for instance. Instructions for the living being on Mars to a 3 D printer like are one route. How complicated could it be!? I mean now that we have 3 D Printers it is a real step and a jump in the old puddle there chap aye what about it!
Very interesting write up. Milestones of civilization are often identified by the introduction of new technology (internet, automobile, vaccinations, indoor plumbing). There is a ton of technology that will have disruptive impact on small groups of society, but I am most looking forward to the self-driving car.
1- In the research of cloning or building human organs well be a fact of every day life by the year2025. It is being done in some areas of human and animal research today.
2 – computer designing has bee around sense computers. Art lies in the eyes of the beholder.
3- Teleportation in one form or another is a Quantum Physics fact. The only thing missing is the power that is needed to perform this feat.
4- Living on a distant planet would take 3 major items The supply of a water source Water canbe broken down to supply Hydrogen for fuel and heating, Oxygen for breathing and growing food and nutrients. Then we have radiation which our cosmonauts have to deal with now. Then we have weightlessness. The last 2 is of great concern, because these 2 effect all forms of life and it is not for the better. Without weight our bone density decreases and bones become brittle. Radiation poisoning is a big concern.
5- Now the Weather takes many forms, the Sun (magnetic storms (Sun Spots)) the angle and speed of the Earth, decompression of Organic materials and industrial pollutants. All these contribute to making our weather. Then we have the ocean currents and Barometer Pressures. Remove or change just one and you can change the weather world wide. I read some where that there are test, using magnetism to make storms. I believe these test are being done in the Northern areas of the planet. Look at the climate change that has happened in the US and Canada when the Jet Stream moved further South than in the past years. As you can tell I have written this with out any scientific knowledge to back up my comments. This was done from observation, books and no research.
That 32 percent of respondents think teleportation probable within 50 years is a damning indictment of the USA's pathetic state of scientific education.
Once we implement Core Curriculum, that percentage will rise to 60.
it could be 100%, but without funding, they"l all want 10 bucks an hour to flip burgers!!!
Why shouldn't people who make your hamburgers get a living wage?
A crude but interesting reason why we shouldn't increase incentives for these jobs is that nobody should be flipping burgers. Tasks that can be easily done by machines should be given to machines.
Human must find a system in which its energy is spent exclusively on tasks and endeavours that aren't easily and cheaply accessible.
without a space program…about a hair above zilch!!!

I loved the overall appearance and setup of this place. It had a warm, cozy inviting effect to it. The owner was very sweet kind helpful and attentive to my requests and needs! The only thing that I did not really care for was having to share a bathroom with the other guests whose room was right across from mine. I would have preferred to have a bathroom in my room.

The townhouse was everything we were hoping for to get away for a long weekend. The golf course is beautiful and there are lots of hiking trails and waterfalls in the area. The fishing is supposedly top notch, but the weather did not cooperate on this trip, so we will have to wait until next time to find out. I hope to return soon, you can't beat these accommodations for the price!!
We had a wonderful stay for our 16th wedding anniversary. This condo is warm and inviting, with all the amenities you would need for an extended stay in the mountains.
We are within 10 miles of some incredible attractions for adults and kids! Harrah's Casino and Santaland are in the nearby town of Cherokee, NC. The Nanahala Gorge for incredible kayaking, bike riding, rafting. Dragon's Tail at Deals Gap is within a few short miles of our new townhouse. Bryson City is our next town over with The Smoky Mountain Railroad, Brewery and Deep Creek for some fun tubing. Feel like fishing, Conleys Creek is just a quick trip down the street.

A Really Big Negligent Shot
Pa. man fires cannon, hits neighbor's house - Yahoo! News
UNIONTOWN, Pa. A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home. William Maser, 54, fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away. The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities said nobody was hurt.
Accidental discharge? Negligent discharge? Or just another fool? I'm putting my money on ND and fool for all the money.
The scene was probably similar to F Troop. The fuse probably went out and he kicked the canon wheel and the wheel fell of, causing the canon to fall and to fire in a different direction, hitting the neighbor's house. :D :rolleyes:
LOL - F-Troop! Just had a visual of that scene...
Well as I was always told, ACCIDENTS DON'T JUST HAPPEN! Some one has to iniiate the said accident.
Can you top that shot ? Sadly enough, we can :
Link : Russian Warship Attacks Russian Village - Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty © 2009
From Radio Liberty :
Here's one from the "oops" department.
A Russian antisubmarine warship participating in military exercises in the Gulf of Finland accidentally fired a salvo of missiles into the village of Pesochnoye, near St. Petersburg.
Russian news agencies cited a Russian Navy spokesman as saying that a total of 10 missiles were accidentally fired at the village. Remarkably nobody was injured and the only damage was a broken car window.
Having met the Russian Navy, I can assure you that the most amazing aspect of this story is that the missiles actually worked.
As for the cannon-cocker, he needs to go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00.
Watched a battery of M109a6 Palidin Howitzers get turned backwards at Ft. Hood and start loobing LIVE 155mm rounds off post in to a guys back yard. Thank god his yard was almost 3 acres. They did however take out a cherry tree that the man had planted in memory of his son that got taken by cancer at the ripe old age of 17 years old.
