IRVIN DUNLAP (deceased), merchant, farmer and former Sheriff of Morgan County, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, March 12, 1835, a son of Stephen and Dicy (Runkle) Dunlap. The family of which he was a representative was founded in America by Prof. John Dunlap, Professor of Greek in the University of Glasgow, Scotland, who in 1730 sailed for Virginia. His remains are buried at Augusta, W. Va. His son, William Dunlap, was born in Virginia in August, 1744, and died in Kentucky, March t, 1816. He served in the Revolutionary War until the surrender of Lord Cornwallis. The musket which he carried in that struggle is still in possession of the family. There is a tradition authenticated by letters in the possession of an archeologist of Kentucky, that William Dunlap was on the street with Edward Payne when, in an altercation with George Washington, who was then a Colonel, the latter was struck by Payne. Lossing, in his "Field Notes", refers to this dispute, stating that Washington subsequently acknowledged himself to have been in the wrong and apologized handsomely to Payne. In 1772 William Dunlap was united in marriage with Rebecca Robertson, who was born in Augusta County, Va., July 23, 1751, the daughter of James and Elizabeth (Crawford) Robertson. Her father came to America from the North of Ireland about 1735, settled about one mile from Staunton, Va., where Rebecca, his sixth child, was born. William Dunlap and his wife afterward settled near the present site of Lexington, Ky., where the death of the latter occurred November 7, 1849. Of the children born to them, Major Alexander Dunlap served in the War of 1812 and in the Mexican War. During the former he was taken prisoner by Indians. He removed to Jacksonville, Ill., where his death occurred November 10, 1853; Col. John Dunlap served in the Black Hawk War, and died near Lexington, Ky.; Rev. James Dunlap, who was born in 1773, died February 28, 1866.
Rev. James Dunlap accompanied his father's family to Kentucky in childhood. On August 29, 1794, he married Emily Johnson, who was born in Virginia October 15, 1777, and died in Jacksonville, Ill., March 13, 1848. After his marriage he continued to reside in Kentucky for several years, when he emigrated to Champaign County, Ohio, where he remained until 1845. Several of his sons having removed to Illinois, in the latter year he also came to this State, locating in Jacksonville, where the remainder of his life was passed with most of the members of his family. For more than half a century he was a minister in the Baptist Church. He was the father of thirteen children who attained maturity, namely: William, who was born in Fayette County, Ky., August 2, 1795. Rebecca, born in Mason County, Ky., February 26, 1797; John, born in Fleming County, Ky., November 26, 1798; Mary, also born in that county, October 26, 1800; James, born in the same county, October 30, 1802; Elizabeth and Nancy (twins), also natives of Fleming County, born July 2, 1804; Edward Johnson, born in the county named, May 14, 1806; Jeptha and Stephen, both natives of Fleming County, born respectively April 9, 1808, and February 10, 1811; George Alexander, who was born in Champaign County, Ohio, January 31, 1813; and Samuel and Minerva, both born in Champaign County, February 13, 1815, and June 3, 1818, respectively. All these children excepting the last named, Mrs. Minerva Ross, of Chicago, are deceased. It is worthy of note in this connection to state that Rev. James Dunlap was blessed with numerous and highly-favored posterity, consisting of 13 children, six of whom were living at the time of his death; 83 grandchildren, 49 of whom were living at the time of his death; 106 great-grandchildren, 83 of whom mourned his death; and 7 great-great-grandchildren - a total of 209 descendants in the four generations, of whom 144 survived him.
In the collateral branch of the family, Rev. James Dunlap had one sister, Patsy Dunlap, who was born June 13, 1796, married Archibald Henderson in Kentucky, moved to Illinois in the early days of its settlement, reared a family, and died July 3, 1834, leaving several children. All were daughters except one - William Henderson, who died several years ago. All of his descendants are also deceased. Descendants of Rev. James Dunlap now reside in Champaign County, Ohio, Fayette and Bourbon Counties, Ky., and Morgan County, Ill. In other branches the family is also numerously represented in various States of the Union.
Stephen Dunlap, the tenth child and sixth son of Rev. James Dunlap, and the father of Irvin Dunlap, was married to Dicy Runkle in Champaign County, Ohio, by Rev. John Pierson, May 29, 1834, and died near Jacksonville, Ill., February 9, 1877. His wife is still living on the old homestead, at the age of ninety-four years. He emigrated from Ohio to Morgan County in 1840, and here became a man of great influence. A stanch Democrat, in 1876 he cast his last presidential vote for Samuel J. Tilden, and for eight years served as Associate Judge of Morgan County. For many years he filled the office of Elder in the Old School Baptist Church. Over six feet tall, he was always a commanding figure, and was regarded as one of the handsomest men in Morgan County. He was a man of decided opinions and great determination, and never abandoned a policy, in public or private life, when he had once mapped it out in the belief that he was advocating a righteous principle. He was the father of five sons and one daughter: Irvin, James M., William R., Stephen, Samuel W. and Mrs. Mary Jane Farrell.
Irvin Dunlap, his eldest son, was born in Champaign County, Ohio, March 12, 1835, and in 1840 was brought by his parents to Morgan County, Ill. Reared on his father's farm, he attended the common schools of his neighborhood, after which he pursued a two years' course in Illinois College. Remaining upon the farm and assisting his father in its management until 1857, he then entered into a partnership with the late Felix G. Farrell, who was then engaged in the dry goods business in jacksonville. When Mr. Farrell organized the First National Bank of Jacksonville the mercantile firm was dissolved, and Mr. Dunlap returned to the farm, which he operated for several years. When the firm of N. & N. Milburn, grocers, of Jacksonville, was dissolved, Mr. Dunlap purchased its stock of goods and removing again to the city, conducted that business for a few years. Subsequently entering into partnership with Thomas Turley, under the style of Turley & Dunlap, he again engaged in the dry goods business. In 1870, owing to the failing health of Mr. Turley, the firm retired from business, and Mr. Dunlap once more removed to the country, where he remained until he permanently located at Jacksonville, four years later, to assume the duties of Sheriff of Morgan County, to which he had been elected in the fall of 1874.
A stanch and consistent advocate of the principles of Democracy, he was actively identified with the operations of that party, taking a keen interest in public affairs. In 1869 he was chosen Alderman from the First Ward of Jacksonville, and reelected the following year. His first term as Sheriff of Morgan County met the unequivocal approval of the citizens of the county, who reelected him in 1876 and 1878. During his incumbency in the office he appointed William H. Hinrichsen, afterward a member of Congress, as his Chief Deputy. When he retired from the office in 1880, Mr. Hinrichsen was elected to succeed him, and he at once appointed Mr. Dunlap as his Chief Deputy, in which capacity he served for two years. In 1882 he was elected County Assessor and Treasurer, serving four years, and at the expiration of his term of office he rendered valuable assistance to his successor. Fraternally, mr. Dunlap at the time of his death was the oldest member of Urania Lodge, No. 243, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, into which he was initiated in 1857. He was also a member of Ridgely Encampment, No. 9, Patriarchs Militant.
On December 18, 1856, he was untied in marriage with Mary F. Layton, who was born in Morgan County, Ill., September 4, 1883, a daughter of William K. and Elizabeth M. Layton. Mrs. Dunlap continues to make her home in jacksonville. They were the parents of one son - Millard F. Dunlap, senior member of the banking firm of dunlap, Russel & Company, of Jacksonville.
The death of Mr. Dunlap, which occurred at his home in Jacksonville, November
9, 1903, as the result of an attack of typhoid fever contracted at Eureka
Springs, Ark., whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, was deeply
deplored by thousands of residents of Morgan County, who regarded it is a
distinct loss to the community. Though slightly advanced in years, he continued
to exhibit a deep interest in the progress of municipal and county affairs, and
his judgment was constantly sought by those who had been chosen to safe guard
the community's interests. Careful, sagacious and far-sighted, and, withal, a
man of unimpeachable integrity, with the welfare of the people close to his
heart, much of his time for more than a quarter of a century was devoted to
official public affairs without a taint of dishonor attaching to his fair name.
Probably he was personally known to more citizens of Morgan County than any of
his contemporaries, and to all who knew him, regardless of their political
faith, he was the same cheerful, optimistic and kind-hearted man of affairs. His
strength as a public man and his eminent position as a public spirited and
enterprising citizen, doubtless were attributable more to these personal
characteristics than to any others. By reason of these qualities and numerous
other fine traits of character, he endeared himself to a multitude of people;
and his name and the record of his life are entitled to a permanent and
conspicuous position in the annals of Morgan County.

Clottey savors 'miracle opportunity'
NEW YORK -- When the March megafight between
Everyone, that is, except
With Mayweather out of the picture, Pacquiao was committed to finding another opponent for March since he's plotting a congressional run in the Philippines in May. When initial plans for a match with 154-pound alphabet titleholder
They'll fight for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title on Mar. 13 at Cowboys Stadium on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Flanked by Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders at Wednesday's introductory press conference at Madison Square Garden, the 32-year-old Ghana transplant and Bronx native called it a "miracle opportunity." He wasn't exaggerating.
When Clottey pushed then-titleholder
That never happened. Instead, Cotto fought and ceded the welterweight belt to Pacquiao in 2009's highest-grossing pay-per-view fight.
Clottey is a talented if not transcendent fighter, the classic hard-hitting and harder-headed West African puncher. But as one of the less glamorous names in boxing's prestige division, he's become an easy opponent to dodge. His near miss against Cotto -- which came
So Clottey "couldn't believe it" when he heard rumors of Pacquiao's interest last week while on vacation in Accra. He flew back to New York one day early, hashed out the details alongside manager
"We want to fight the best guys out there because Manny likes challenges and this guy will challenge us." said
The specter of Mayweather loomed over Wednesday's presser -- and Roach was more than happy to acknowledge it.
The three-time Trainer of the Year rejected the notion that both fighters shared responsibility for the collapse.
"The commissions and the sanctioning bodies run these shows, not the fighters," Roach said. "We go by the commission rules. Let's face it, they've been doing it for a long time. They know what they're doing. Nevada, great commission. Same with California, New York. Why aren't their rules good enough for Mayweather?"
Roach was happy to offer a response to the many people who think Pacquiao's reluctance to accept random blood testing is an indication of guilt.
"Some people think we're hiding something and they won't understand why we won't give blood, because giving blood to some people is just a walk in the park," Roach said. "But when you're getting ready for a big fight -- a title fight -- there's more to that."
When asked whether Mayweather was scared of Pacquiao, Roach paused and considered the question.
"He doesn't seem like a person that gets scared," Roach said. "He's very cocky. I think he's just unsure of himself. When you see Pacquiao destroying guys that he's had trouble with, it's got to play with his mind a little bit."
Roach thinks Pacquiao's history-making run -- a record seven titles in seven different weight classes -- has invited unjustified criticism from his rivals.
"Whenever you have success, everybody's looking for a different reason," Roach said. "I've known my fighter well. We've been together a long time. We have five protein shakes a day to keep the weight on him, because he's really not a '47-pounder, he's a little smaller than that. I have trouble getting him to take protein shakes, never mind steroids."
Arum said the undercard will be announced next week and dropped a not-so-thinly-veiled hint about the inclusion of
Margarito, 31, has been inactive since getting caught with illegal plaster hand wraps before a January 2009 loss to
Arum said he's traveling with Cowboys owner
"There's tremendous interest in the fight in Mexico and it will be even enhanced when we announce the undercard," Arum said.
Margarito can apply for a license with the Texas commission this week. He'd be permitted to fight on the Pacquiao-Clottey undercard if it's granted.

My wife and I had to go to Oahu on some business this week, and could not get some reserves at some of our favorite places, so we went to the Side Street Inn.
This place had a rep before Anthony Bourdain filmed a spot there.
My wife and I love local food, and the Side Street Inn has local food prepared by chefs who obviously like it.
We split the Kalbi ribs and steamed Moi, with a bowl of rice.
It was just great, and we left nothing on the plate.
I think we have a new regular spot in Honolulu.

Worker Dead after Virginia Beach Construction Site Accident
The Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Program is investigating a Virginia Beach construction accident that left one worker dead.
About the Fatal Construction Accident
According to WAVY-TV, the police received a report of a worker pinned at a Virginia Beach worksite around 8:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Early reports stated that the construction worker, Antonio Reid, 49, had been struck with a piece of heavy equipment resulting in death.
Battalion Chief Amy Valdez with the Virginia Beach Fire Department partially confirmed these reports, acknowledging that Reid was in cardiac arrest due to significant trauma.
Bystanders at the scene attempted CPR until emergency crews arrived, but the crews were unable to revive Reid. At 8:30, Reid was pronounced dead at the scene by an E.R. doctor.
Workplace Accident Statistics
- Preliminary statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a total of 4,383 fatal work injuries in 2012 – a 7 percent decrease from 2011.
- However, Texas did not follow this national trend. Instead, Texas experienced a 23 percent jump in the number of fatal work related injuries, recording 258 deaths for the year, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
- Fatal injuries involving contractors account for approximately 12 percent of annual work related deaths.

Protecting the Wall Street Journal: It's All About the Brand, Stupid
Now that Rupert Murdoch seems poised to take ownership of the company which controls the Wall Street Journal, there is just one thing that stands between the global media mogul's business interests and the Journal's reputation for editorial independence.
It's the brand, stupid.
That's because Murdoch's $5-billion offer for Dow Jones includes buying the heftiest name in financial journalism. And the wily mogul knows the world will be watching to see if he turns the Journal into a shill for his business interests.
I know some have predicted much worse for the Journal, and I don't blame them. Murdoch has a long history of manipulating the content of even his most prestigious outlets to serve his fiscal imperatives.
But despite some efforts made by the family which controls Dow Jones stock to preserve the journal's independence, the fact is, Murdoch's respect for the newspaper's brand is the only thing which may keep him from messing with the journalism too overtly. I wouldn't place bets on seeing any more aggressive Journal reporting from China, but that may the smallest price to pay for a deal with a media devil necessitated because the newspaper never lived up to its potential.
Here's some other reaction:
From Free Press president and media scholar Robert McChesney:
"Media consolidation has replaced investigative journalism with infotainment, foreign affairs reporting with fluff, and local coverage with cookie-cutter content. Contrary to industry spin, emerging Internet outlets fail to offset consolidation's affect on journalism. Now Murdoch will control a broadcast network, a cable news channel and a national newspaper -- three of the small handful of outlets that set our national news agenda.
"Rupert Murdoch -- who has never hesitated to use his pulpit to advance his own ideological and business interests -- won't change his ways. But we can change the policies that allow companies like News Corp. to dominate our media.
"We can only hope the culmination of this deal is the wake-up call Washington needs to start rolling back media consolidation. The first step is to pass new "cross-ownership" laws that would prevent the owner of a national television network from owning a national daily newspaper.
From Rich Hanley, assistant professor of journalism and director of graduate programs in Quinnipiac University's School of Communications:
"Murdoch's purchase holds both great promise and peril for Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal. The promise rests in dragging the company kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a multiple platform approach to gathering and distributing business and financial news, information and analysis. The peril lies in the potential for a descent from traditional
journalistic values into sloganeering and similar elements that are not
uncommon to News Corp. properties. But Murdoch understands that the value
of business news relies entirely on the integrity of the information presented
and that any undue influence on coverage will be self-defeating."

The Magic of Amy Purdy
Being different and overcoming obstacles sometimes brings out the very best in us. I tell Jordan and Cameron that often when we face tough stuff in life. We can choose to let it make us sad, or we can find the good in the bad and keep living a positive life. I know those words may be tough to believe at times. But that's how I take each day. And then others prove it for me.
Let's take Amy Purdy.
I learned about Amy because she's the co-founder of Adaptive Action Sports. She's a rock star snowboarder who earned a bronze during the Winter Paralympics in Sochi earlier this year. Right after she won that medal, she headed back to the states to compete in the ABC show, Dancing with the Stars. Oh, did I mention she lost the lower portion of both of her legs and her kidney function when she contracted bacterial meningitis as a 19-year-old?
She fought back from that illness and found ways to return to life… Not only just living but finding positive opportunities after some really terrible struggles. It is truly inspirational to see how one person found ways to take her life's passions and is giving back to the world by finding some very public arenas to prove life's challenges can't stop anyone from trying their best.
She proved that point during this week's Dancing with the Stars. (The contemporary dance she did in honor of her dad made me bawl.) She broke me when the video shared before her performance showed just how difficult it was to dance the waltz.
"I've never looked at myself as if I've lost anything," Purdy said. "If anything, I've gained."
She gained a chance to work with amazing athletes, dancers and if you follow her Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter, these opportunities are giving her a chance to meet some really remarkable people. Her dancing and snowboarding prove the power of positive thinking and very hard work can make a difference.
Purdy mentioned in the Nightline piece, "If I can accomplish grace on these legs, then I'm already a winner."
I really think she has not only won, but she's help bring even more open eyes to limb differences and showing the only thing that is impossible is impossibility. (Yes, it's a quote from Phineas and Ferb… We say it all the time in our house.) Not all amputees can find this level of success. But it is possible to maintain a positive focus and do our very best.
By the way, if you're impressed by Amy, consider donating to Adaptive Action Sports. It is an awesome organization that helps people with physical disabilities the chance to join in on skateboarding, snowboarding and other action sports you've probably seen in the X-Games.
[Also, if you missed it, Hugh Herr showed off the future of bionics and helped a victim of the Boston Bombings ballroom dance for the first time. The video is pretty remarkable and made me think how Amy could have benefitted from the technology.]

WASHINGTON (Mar. 22)
Sen. Henry M. Jackson today described the Soviet government's waiver of its education tax on some prospective emigrants in the past few days as "a beginning" and "not a substitute for a policy and a program" of emigration. Reiterating that Congressional legislation bearing his name on the emigration issue will be "enacted into law," Jackson, in an address before the National Press Club, lashed out at "lobbying" against it by Soviet officials in Washington and at its Congressional opponents.
Jackson told approximately 400 newsmen including Soviet media representatives that Russians have said here his bill would create anti-Semitism. In a rising voice he declared: "They are experts at anti-Semitism. They have been at it and against other minorities for centuries."
He asked what would happen if American officials in Moscow "lobbied" the Supreme Soviet and added, "that opportunity is not there." Jackson denounced as "nonsense" the charges that Mis amendment would be "interference" in the Soviet Union's internal affairs.
In discussing energy problems, Jackson observed that the $20 billion research program he is advocating for the next 10 years would "show the foreign countries, especially the Middle East" that "we have an alternative" in fuels and will not be subjected to "blackmail."

The last few months have been manic. In order for me to balance out my work flow, the housework, playtime and downtime a few things have had to slide… fancy elaborate meals at dinner time were one of them. I don't feel guilty though as I made sure they were still healthy. Coming into the warmer months has made it easier, lots of pasta salads, quick sizzling steak and fresh seasonal salads. We've also been eating a lot of steamed vegetables and fish so when Birds Eye asked me to review their SteamFresh range it was a no brainer.
For our dinner I selected a box of Thai Coconut Curry Fish, two boxes of Lemon & Parsley Fish, the mini sweet potato gems and a bag of Carrot, Peas, Baby Corn and Water Chestnuts. We were standing there for awhile trying to decide on what to get. I just usually buy corn kernels and baby peas from the frozen section so I'll admit I was a little overwhelmed by the choice.
- Lemon & Parsley – reviewed
- Garlic & Spring Onion
- Thai Coconut Curry – reviewed
- Carrot, Cauliflower and Broccoli
- Carrots, Peas and Corn
- Broccoli, Corn, Peas and Green beans
- Cauliflower, Green Beans and Julienne Carrots
- Corn, Cauliflower, Broccoli and Sugar Snap Peas
- Carrot, Peas, Baby Corn and Water Chestnuts – reviewed
I was given a $15 giftcard to spend on the SteamFresh range which would easily be enough for two people but as I had three adults and a child I had to buy additional boxes of fish. Each box has two generous portions, Stephanie, Aidan and I only needed one portion each to feel satisfied but Steve needed two. We also decided to add a bag of Birds Eye Sweet Potato Mini Gems because… well they looked pretty awesome and they were so tasty. This took the total to $24.86 to feed the four of us.
Before I started on the fish and vegetables I popped the mini gems in the oven for 25 minutes. The fish portions were more generous than I thought they would be. They were frozen, coated in the special sauce, with instructions printed clearly on the bag to make the process easier. The pouches were made of thicker plastic and had tiny holes in the steam vent to regulate heat. I put in two pouches of fish in the microwave at a time for nine minutes and they both cooked perfectly. Getting the timings right was a bit tricky with four people to cook for, the fish and the vegetables both requiring the microwave meant only two of us could eat hot meals at a time.
I served Aidan's without the sauce that remained in the pouch as he likes his food cleaner but I poured the sauce over everyone else's fish and they loved it. I only used two pouches of vegetables and split them between the four of us as we added the gems. They were tasty but to be honest I'd prefer to do my steamed vegies from scratch. We have a bench top steamer and sure it takes a few minutes more than in the microwave but they're just something more in the flavour. Stephanie is a Uni student and she swears by vegetable pouches like these, especially as she's usually cooking for one. They're a quick way for her to eat healthy without the prep time.
Aidan scoffed down all the fish, not a scrap was left of it. He picked around the vegies and didn't mind the gems. The rest of the family loved the entire meal. I can see how far microwave dinners have come in the last few years and I can definitely see the value in having something quick and easy in the freezer on days where Steve's working late. For our family right now though, prepping, cooking and eating the meals together is something we're able to do so I'm going to embrace it whilst knowing full well that in busy times I can trust in the odd steam pouch to save the day.

"SARKAR" Amitabh visiting RGV's "Company"
Thu, Apr 07, 2016, 06:36 PM
RGV is a sensational director and he is the only Telugu director who could become big even in Bollywood. RGV's birthday is today and wishes poured on him during this occasion from many quarters. RGV has done quite a few films with Amitabh Bachchan which were successful and both of them share a great rapport and the Big B took time to visit Ram Gola Varma's new office in Mumbai.


text: "The American Army is very much ready," reports TIME Bonn bureau chief Bruce Van Voorst. "They have been ready for weeks, even months." The second squad of U.S. soldiers, part of the NATO "enabling force" of up to 2500 soldiers from various NATO countries, may be in Bosnia as early as next week. "Some of them will go to Sarajevo, where the headquarters of the operation will be," says Van Voorst. The Americans are expected to be in Tuzla, setting up the transportation, medical, communications and logistical bases for the full complement of an expected 20,000 American soldiers. "They will be protected by air cover, but there's no doubt they are expecting isolated sniping and terrorist incidents," says TIME's Massimo Calabresi. "Right now they don't foresee the Bosnian Serb Army trying to mount any resistance. The Serbs have not likely forgotten the pounding they took earlier this year." Calabresi adds, however, that the Bosnian Serb military commander General Ratko Mladic, who is also under indictment by the International War Crimes Tribunal, still has not been seen.

Auntie Pinko,
What do you think the Democratic Party does or should
stand for?
St. Paul, MN
Dear Randy,
Bless you! Auntie Pinko just adores these big, philosophical
questions that allow her to burble on about ideology and principles.
What is the Democratic Party, and what makes us different
from other parties?
It might be useful to approach this via the history of the
The Democratic Party was founded by Thomas Jefferson as a
congressional caucus in 1792. Its purpose was to fight for
the Bill of Rights, in the teeth of Federalist opposition.
In 1798 it was officially named the "Democratic-Republican
Party" (confusing, isn't it!) and Thomas Jefferson was the
first Democratic President in 1800.
However, the kind of two-party politics we recognize today
was in its infancy then. Factions within the Party espoused
a wide variety of issues and agendas, mostly concerned with
the emerging government structure, and peace vs. war, isolationist
vs. internationalist questions.
The left/right dichotomy that characterizes American politics
today really emerged in the mid-19th century with the candidacy
of Andrew Jackson. Jackson was a populist who believed in
the maximum possible access and control of the ordinary citizen
in the government process. He also believed in the ability
of government as an instrument to carry out the will of the
people-a positive force in social evolution. (Though he wouldn't
have used those terms, he was a plain-talking, even salty-tongued
man who let actions speak louder than words.)
In the late 19th century the Democratic Party moved from
focus to focus. They focused on enfranchising and empowering
the waves of immigrants pouring into American cities, giving
them a voice in the political process, and creating channels
for them to participate directly. This focus had two consequences:
First, it built the Party an enormous base of hard working
volunteers and loyal voters, and second, it brought the issues
most important to these urban masses into the Party's agenda.
As the 19th Century turned over into the 20th Century, the
Democratic Party moved on to making the lives of Americans
safer and healthier. Safe food and better, safer working conditions
were tough fights against the captains of industry who saw
any government regulation as an unfair restriction on their
ability to make profits. (Sound familiar? It should.)
As labor movements gained momentum in the early 20th century,
they naturally gravitated toward the Democratic party, with
its huge base and well-established organization. Their agenda
was to give workers a leverage that would balance against
the power of money and capital. And while this, too, was fought
tooth and nail by many captains of industry, a few did recognize
the seed of an essential economic truth: empowered labor would
help distribute wealth more evenly, producing larger, more
prosperous working classes and a stronger, demand-driven economy.
In the aftermath of the market failure of 1929, the Democratic
Party recognized the need for an infrastructure of resources
that would allow working people to build economic security
for themselves and their families. To achieve this it would
be necessary to reform the banking and credit structures,
ensure a stable retirement for workers, and bring quality
health care within reach. These have been Democratic goals
ever since.
Are you seeing a theme here, Randy? Democrats stand for two
things: keeping control of the government in the hands of
its citizens - all citizens, not just the wealthy special
interests - and using government as a tool to build a better
society for everyone.
I think that about covers it, and thanks for asking Auntie
Auntie's Archive
you have a question for Auntie Pinko?
Do political discussions discombobulate you? Are you a liberal
at a loss for words when those darned dittoheads babble their
endless rhetoric at you? Or are you a conservative who just
can't understand those pesky liberals and their silliness?
Auntie Pinko has an answer for everything! So ask away!

Scott Jagow: This time of year, the mailbox can get kind of full with direct appeals from charities. As you might imagine, nonprofits are especially keen for the money this year. Joel Rose reports.
Joel Rose: One bad year in the stock market is generally not enough to stop charitable foundations from giving away money. That's according to Nancy Burd, a nonprofit consultant based in Philadelphia.
Nancy Burd: Foundations have obviously noticed a huge hit to their investments. But because most foundations base grant-making on three years of a rolling average, they're still distributing at a fairly high level, even though their investments went down.
But if the downturn continues into 2009 or beyond, Burd says foundation and corporate giving is likely to suffer.
Debra Kahn is the director of Delaware Valley Grantmakers, a membership organization of 150 philanthropies in the mid-Atlantic region. Kahn says individual donors may hold the key.
Debra Kahn: We've seen it time and time again. When times are bad, people who can really do dig a little bit deeper.
Which could mean even more of those direct appeals in your mailbox.
In Philadelphia, I'm Joel Rose for Marketplace.

Thom's Crystal Ball: Summerslam 2013 predictions
by, 08-14-2013 at 11:31 AM (4325 Views)
We're just days away from the 26th annual Summerslam PPV, so now's as good a time as any to deliver my official predictions for the outcomes of the night.
Kick-Off Show: United States Title match
As much as I hate to admit it, this could be the end of Dean Ambrose's reign as US champion. Rob Van Dam has been given a huge push since returning at Money in the Bank and handing him a title seems like a logical choice. Although it'd be better to see him play more of a role in the World Heavyweight title picture, perhaps a run as US champion could help boost the title's integrity.
Not that Ambrose hasn't been doing that, it's just that having a big-time babyface holding the belt may be just what we need. As for The Shield as a whole, I'm disappointed to see them losing so many matches recently. They appear to be getting weaker by the day and I am not a fan of that. If we see Reigns & Rollins defend their titles on Sunday, I could see them losing too. Hopefully, it'll get the trio back on track with being the ruthless force to be reckoned with.
Natalya Vs Brie Bella
Is it really a match or is it just another poorly organised promo for Total Divas?
My prediction: A disappointing match, followed by a total drop in ratings on the E! Network
Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn Vs Big E Langston & AJ Lee
Hey, remember when Dolph Ziggler had finally made it as World Champion? Wasn't that awesome? And now?.... Thanks for watering down one of the hottest, freshest competitors in your entire industry with horse-shit story lines and a complete lack of Title Runs or Pushes, WWE!
I can see this one being paint by numbers and throw-away.
Bray Wyatt's first match on the main roster, and he's fighting Kane in one of the biggest PPVs of the year. Nice one!
Although the Sadist in me wants to see this being a good, old fashioned Inferno match, I can't deny that I'm excited at the prospect of this one. Now that his former partner Daniel Bryan has the momentum in the World, Kane needs something himself to keep up in the roster and this will do just nicely. As for the result, I'm hoping for a Wyatt win. His "brothers" Rowan & Harper have been totally dominating lately, and I think it's time for everyone to see exactly what the former Husky Harris can really do. Follow them buzzards, people.
Cody Rhodes Vs Damien Sandow
This will be a beat down, pure & simple. They're two of the most talented guys on the roster, and we've been waiting a long time to see a Cody face turn. Money in the Bank provided and we've been entertained ever since. I'm looking forward to some great spots and a lot of high intensity action. This match may just steal the show. I can see Sandow winning this one. His cunning will protect him and seal his victory over his former partner. By the way, what happened to WWE's attempts to help the Tag Team Division grow? That died pretty quickly, didn't it?
World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio probably holds the record for the shortest heel-to-face-to-heel turn in wrestling history (although it can be said that CM Punk comes a close second). I've never been ADR's biggest fan, and now that's he disposed of Ricardo Rodriguez, there's even less reason to watch him perform. I could see Ricardo getting involved on Sunday and costing his fellow countryman the match. Whether that means a DQ end or Del Rio losing the title, I'm not too sure, but Christian does seem to be getting a little push himself, with career round-ups being played on Smackdown
Punk Vs Lesnar: The Best Vs The Beast
I literally cannot decide on this one. Both of these guys are going to give it their all, and you know that Heyman's going to enlist Curtis Axel in some way, but Punk's momentum, especially after Raw on Monday night, gives him a slight edge for me.
Rumours are circling of Lesnar bowing out of WWE after this weekend, so having a Punk victory would make sense, but I feel that Paul Heyman's position will be strained. A little while ago, he had 3 guys to represent. After Summerslam, that may only be one. Being a Paul Heyman guy myself, it's annoying to see someone who had so much reduced to little.
WWE TITLE: John Cena Vs Daniel Bryan
If there's any justice in the world, DB will win this in a thrilling encounter that may not just give Daniel Bryan the title run that he deserves, but may also give Cena some credibility from the wrestling fan base. However, if Cena's injury reports are to be believed, don't expect him to over-do anything. That in mind, it wouldn't make sense for the WWE Champion to be out for a while to have surgery, so again, Bryan looks more and more like the obvious choice.
What I don't want this to be is a puff piece, to set something else up. I know, they're both dating a Bella Twin, can we not make this about Total Divas?
And I know, the Whole McMahon Clan divide thing is going to be inevitable, but can we just make this about the wrestling please? Just this once?

Ken Russell

Supplementing his dancing income as an actor and still photographer, Russell put together a handful of amateur films in the 50s before being hired as a staff director by the BBC. Russell made a name for himself (albeit a name not always spoken in reverence) during the first half of the '60s by directing a series of iconoclastic TV dramatizations of the lives of famous composers and dancers. And if he felt that the facts were getting in the way of his story, he'd make up his own -- frequently bordering on the libelous. If he had any respect for the famous persons whose lives he probed, it was secondary to his fascination with revealing all warts and open wounds. A film director since 1963, Russell burst into the international consciousness with 1969's Women in Love, a hothouse version of the D.H. Lawrence novel. No director who staged a scene in a mainstream movie in which two men wrestled in the nude could escape notice, and thus Russell became more of a "star" than his actors. While some viewers had their sensibilities shaken by Women in Love, others had their sensibilities run through the blender with Russell's next film, The Music Lovers. Predicated on the notion that Peter Tchaikovsky and his wife were, respectively, a homosexual and nymphomaniac, the film's much discussed "highlight" is a scene in which Nina Tchaikovsky (Glenda Jackson) allows the inmates in the cellar of an insane asylum to reach up and play with her privates. But this was kid's stuff compared to Russell's The Devils (1971), an ultraviolent and perversely anachronistic adaptation of Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun. Russell returned to his musical theater roots with The Boy Friend (1971), a bloated version of Sandy Wilson's intimate 1920s pastiche, brought The Who's rock opera Tommy to the screen in a visually flamboyant cinematization that starred Roger Daltrey and Ann-Margret, and returned to offbeat biographical material with Lisztomania (1975) and Valentino (1975). The latter film not only suggested that Rudolph Valentino (Rudolf Nureyev) performed totally nude in his silent films, but also offered up the spectacle of Huntz Hall as producer Jesse Lasky. At this point, even some of the most devoted fans of Russell's outrageous (but undeniably brilliant) visual sense were fed up with his shock-for-shock's-sake approach and his all-consuming narcissism. Following the mind-bending horrors of Altered States in 1980, Russel maintained momentum with Gothic, a visually lavish retelling of the weekend of debauchery that gave birth to the Frankenstein mythos in the mind of a young female author named Mary Shelley. Though the film may have had its fair share of detractors due to Russel's signature departure from historical fact, it nevertheless aquired a cult following thanks to its heavy atmosphere and dark fantasy. After detailing the exploits of yet another famed author (this time Oscar Wilde) in the 1988 comedy drama Salome's Last Dance, Russel turned out another curiousity in the form of that same year's Lair of the White Worm. Based on Dracula author Bram Stoker's short story of the same name of featuring a memorable performance by a pre-romantic comedy stalwart Hugh Grant, Lair of the White Worm's outrageous, sex vampire excess and near surreal humor earned the effort a proud spot in many a cult movie aficionado's collection. He was back in his old form with 1991's Whore, which conveyed several times over that life on the streets is hell -- then for good measure, said it a few more times. Backed by a childishly slavering ad campaign, Whore brought Russell into the spotlight again for what would be the last time in some while.Dabbling in television for much of the 1990s, may of Russel's efforts during the decade were fairly unmemorable despite featuring such noteworthy actors as Richard Dreyfuss

I just heard this story today, but was wanting to get some feedback from my fellow CFL bakers here in TX. This woman is not a cake baker but she still was operating under the CFL law. The city of Frisco shut her baking business down claiming they don't honor the state law because there city ordinance was written prior to Rick Perry passing the CFL bill last year. Here's the link to the story:
I am going to have to call my city on Monday and get the low down on my city laws.......a little worried, and I wonder why the city didn't mention the ordinances when she applied for her business license. My city asked me what type of business I would be operating and gave me tax information etc. when I applied..... What do y'all think?
You can stay apprised of new developments here: http://www.facebook.com/TexasBakersBill
Thanks Diane, I guess I'm a little slow, lol. I live in my own little cake filled world and didn't even know this was going on. I Liked the page, I look forward to following the story and I hope some good comes of her situation.
I wonder why the city didn't mention the ordinances when she applied for her business license. My city asked me what type of business I would be operating and gave me tax information etc. when I applied..... What do y'all think?
In some municipalities the licensing people don't talk to the zoning people and may not be aware of current regulations (and they certainly don't talk to the health dept, which is usually at the county or state level).
Here in California it is illegal to sell baked goods that aren't made in an inspected commercial kitchen, but I was able to get a business license from the city for a bakery with my home as the address of record without any trouble, and this was before I had a commercial kitchen set up.
Most CFLs explicitly state that you must still adhere to local laws, so if the CFL says that, municipalities are well within their rights to shut down CFL businesses for violating zoning or other ordinances.
Texas bakers, please follow the Facebook link above for up to the moment updates on this situation. I am staying on top of it.
Thank goodness I live in Ohio! I often wonder how many people actually get sick from cottage industry produced products as opposed to licensed businesses such as restaurants. Yea, I hear horror stories about home bakers - but you should see behind the scenes in restaurants. I have been shocked at what I seen in restaurants since I have moved to this town.
Our state is not a CFL state, but it is my understanding that states set the minimums and municipalities are able to add to the regulations, just not lower the state standards.

Seeing that everyone has decided to start writing, I figured: Meh, why not? This is not a Flood fan fiction, so nobody needs to apply for spaces or anything. I'm just going to put the opening here, and if you guys like it, I'll write more. Edit: Yes, this story is based off Dark Souls. :D Prologue: [spoiler][i]In a faraway forest, in a long-forgotten land, a bright light shines the way for many a traveler. It lights up the clearing it is centered in, illuminating the crumbling pillars and decrepit walls of what could only have been a mighty fortress in a time since passed. Now, it was all but destroyed, and the only thing to remember it by was the light that had been there from the beginning. The light is cast by a fire, but not just any fire. This fire has warmth like none other, and the flames rise lazily from the bones that fueled it. The energy simply floats up. It is not like a regular fire, where the flames hastily lick at and consumed all in its path. This flame lingers, takes its time. It does not have the need to consume or to rush along- this flame had been around longer than anything in the area, and the original flames had been the oldest of all. A single, warped sword rises from the middle of the bones, serving almost as a marker that this was something special. But the flame does not need any extra identification. All know that this is a special flame, and it is a beacon for those lost, both in themselves and in the vast world. The flame does not think itself special, though. It simply burns on, as it always had. It did not care for the wars that had brought down the fortress, or the cataclysmic events which had first formed the valley where the trees grew. The fire simply burned. It always had, and always would. It does not care what it is called. It is a savior, a saint, a beacon. It is hope, the object of desire, a guardian angel. It is called many things. But to all, it is known as a bonfire.[/i] [/spoiler] Chapter One [spoiler]The sun rose that morning, just as it had a million times before. Light peeked over the mountains, creeping across the land and shining upon treetops and roofs of the valley below. Birds chirped and sang and deer ran through dew-encrusted leaves. The sounds of a city only just waking followed soon after, full of shouts, cries, and the occasional laughter. The streets were soon bustling with people moving their carts and rushing to get to their respective places of work. Beggars took their posts as did the guards, and the merchants began crying out their wares. It was just like any other normal day. Just like the day before, and the day before that, and every day a month past, a bell rang in a local cathedral, marking the first hour of the day, the first hour of sunlight. This bell was a signal to many, and a friend to all. The bell began ringing that morning through the crisp spring air, causing a man to stir in his bed. His bedroom was quite small, and his possessions were few, but his bed was not usually empty. This morning, though, he awoke alone. The blonde-haired man got up and dressed, scrubbing his stubbled face with his only bar of soap. He checked the mirror as he did every day. His face was still chiseled from stone, his nose still pointed as ever, and his eyes ever a deep, dark blue. On his way out, he grabbed his keys, his dagger, and his reading glasses. After making sure the wooden door on his house was locked, the man stepped out into the muddy street. It was not crowded, just like always. His was a little city, not big enough to garner attention from the wealthy elites, but not small enough to be called a village. It had all the essentials; a cathedral, a library, a barracks, a prison, a mayor's building, a school, and all the usual merchant shops. Nothing more, and nothing less. It was just the way the man liked it. Passing by the cathedral, he couldn't help but peer inside. Ever since the bishop had moved in, things had been better. Things had been changing. The man did not like change. But perhaps this change was a good thing. Inside, he saw the kindly old bishop giving some bread to an elderly woman. Indeed, it might have been a change for the better. Then, the man caught something in the bishop's eye, a little twinkle. His old doubts returned about the man, just like every time he had passed. The man walked up to the local library and pulled out his keys, unlocking the doors of knowledge for all. Just as the large iron doors swung open, many students rushed in, eager to find books for their upcoming classes. Then, the man felt a tap on his shoulder. "Hello Mr. Luke!" Luke turned around to see that a boy, not yet over five feet tall, was standing on the steps, wearing a smile that told the world of its splendor. "Hello, Bert. What will it be today?" The boy grinned even wider, clutching his books to his chest. "Well, I just finished 'Kings and Queens' last night, I was hoping to rent out 'Ancient Kingdoms' next!" Luke smiled and walked over to his desk. Checking his papers, he frowned and looked around his table. He looked at the boy, so eager to learn, and his heart sank. Luke hated disappointing those who were so eager to learn. "I'm sorry, but Mrs. Alkowitz has it right now. She takes a long time to read, so-" Luke stopped when he saw the look on poor Bert's face. It was of utter disappointment, not unlike the one he must have worn so many years ago. Luke cleared his throat. "You know what, I'll go ask Mrs. Alkowitz if you can borrow it for a bit. You know her, she probably won't mind." Bert's face lit up again, and he said a rushed 'Thank you' before dropping off his books and heading into the library, searching for more knowledge. Smiling, Luke leaned back in his chair and looked out the window, which granted him a marvelous view of the main street and the forest beyond. He loved his work, and he loved his town. He loved the people, and the weather. Everything was perfect. Then, he caught something that was out of place. Someone he had never seen before. Someone that made his skin crawl. Down the road, he spotted a man dressed in a black cloak and armor, his face hardened and heavily bearded. Over his shoulder was strung a greatsword, which Luke could only have guessed was just as fearsome as the man himself. "Hello!" A voice distracted him from his musings. Looking up, he had the biggest shock of his life. Before him was the bishop, smiling pleasantly, holding a book labeled: "Ancient Kingdoms."[/spoiler] Chapter Two [spoiler] "Excuse me, sir?" Luke broke out of his trance, realizing shortly afterwards, much to his embarrassment, that he had been staring open-mouthed at the bishop. After composing himself, Luke put on a convincingly warm smile and greeted the man. "Hello, my name is Luke. How may I help you today?" "Luke? My name is Arnold, and may I say I am pleased to meet you!" The bishop extended a withered hand towards Luke, who shook it with a smile, all the while pondering the bishop's ulterior motive. "I met with Mrs. Alkowitz this morning, and she is deathly ill. She wanted me by her side, for a prayer, in the hopes that it would aid in her recovery. I offered to perform a Miracle for her, but she simply smiled and said that a prayer was enough." The bishop then lifted the book and handed it to Luke. "She said she wanted to give this back to you, just in case she did not make it." The bishop smiled then, holding both his hands close to his chest, being as pleasant as any human being could be. Looking at the book, Luke nodded. "I am so sorry. Please, give her my regards. I really do hope she gets better." The bishop seemed to glow happily, then turned and walked out of the library. Not one minute after the bishop left, Luke got up hastily and inquired about Mrs. Alkowitz. Everyone he talked to confirmed that she was indeed ill, and that her plight was a sad one indeed. Begrudgingly, Luke had to accept the fact that the bishop was not as vile as he had hoped. He combed the many well-worn shelves for Bert, who shrieked excitedly at the sight of the tome Luke held. Luke sat down once again, pondering. "Perhaps I should check on Mrs. Alkowitz..." he mused. But he knew he would not do it. Just like any other day, his extravagant plans and intricate thoughts would be put to rest when he visited the local pub, and he would drink to his merry life in his small town. Perhaps a girl would distract him, but usually, it was his own drinking that led to his forgetting. And just like always, he'd stumble home and sleep a content sleep. Then, a thought came to his mind. The traveler with the large sword. "Maybe I won't go to the pub tonight." Picking up his favorite book, Luke aimed to drown his worries with fiction, but was interrupted when Bert came to his desk. "Mr. Luke? I think there's a problem…" Luke sat up, wondering what was wrong. Bert was not usually one to worry. "What is it?" Bert then opened the book and flipped through the pages, to reveal one smattered with blood. Astounded, Luke took the book. "Poor Mrs. Alkowitz…" Luke murmured. "She must have coughed up this blood onto the book. I wonder if I can even get this cleaned.." Luke rubbed the dried blood on the pages, and some flaked off, and something fell from the encrusted blood. Confused, Luke picked up the strange little paper and unfolded it, revealing spidery handwriting in a tongue he did not recognize.

No idea who bumped this, but thanks! Sorry for the inconsistent updates. Been really busy as of late. D:
Burn the world. Burn it all.
Edited by Jphn 33: 4/16/2015 5:56:29 AMChapter Five [spoiler]The sun rose that morning, just as it had a million times before. Light peeked over the mountains, creeping across the land and shining upon treetops and roofs of the valley below. Birds chirped and sang and deer ran through dew-encrusted leaves. The sounds of a city only just waking followed soon after, full of shouts, cries, and the occasional laughter. The relative peace of the town was a disquieting backdrop for the personal crisis at hand. Luke's hands trembled and his eye twitched as he rushed to get his things together, groggy from a lack of sleep, haunted by paranoia. He simply splashed water on his face, refusing to look at it. He snatched up his keys and his dagger, which he nearly cut himself on. He'd need it that day, he was sure. In his rush, he nearly forgot to grab his reading glasses, one of his most dear posessions. He walked hurriedly through the quiet town, attracting a few strange looks. Luke paid no mind to the disturbance he caused, though. He knew that word would travel quickly, as he could not silence his mistress from the night before until she passed out on her own. And in such a small, quiet town such as this, word spread like wildfire. Fear, like the mark, had begun to consume him. So much so, that he did not notice that the priest had given him a strange look when he walked by. Luke dropped his keys in the dust several times before his jittery hands finally got the key in the lock. The key was turned with a quick twitch, and Luke rushed inside. "Darksign, Darksign, Darksign…" he whispered to himself, rambling on about the newfound mark. He had learned the word after a sleepless night of reading, not worrying about the woman who had fainted on his bed. He knew that she knew her way home, and she would probably think it was a bad dream. But those thoughts only occupied the busy space of his mind for a second. Luke scanned the shelves, fingers moving and twitching with worry. He would pause at the occasiona book, quickly flip through its contents, then throw the yellowed pages to the floor of the library. One after the other, book after book, shelf by shelf, nothing. Luke began to panic, repeating what he had read from his late night studying. He began sobbing to himself, nearing the last bookshelf. "Mr. Luke?" The panicked man stopped himself short, then spun around to see Bert standing at the end of the aisle, clutching his 'Ancient Kingdoms' book to his chest. "Oh, good morning Bert, I-" "Are you okay Mr. Luke? You look different." "Different? How?" "You look like you haven't slept." Bert then gazed down to the books strewn so carelessly about the aisle. "Something's wrong, Mr. Luke." "Oh Bert, don't be silly!" Luke gave a nervous laugh. "The Mr. Luke I know would never throw his books on the ground like this." The boys words struck true. Luke looked down at his hands, and then his books. "Oh, what have I done?" Luke lamented, falling to his knees to pick up his books. "How could I be so short sighted, these books hold so much knowledge…" He caressed the books lovingly, a tear rolling down his stubbled cheek. Luke stood, containing his panic, and put everything back in order. It was the least he could do for the boy, who so reminded him of himself as a child. It would do him some good as well, to not panic. People might suspect something. Out of the corner of his eye, Luke spotted Bert putting down his copy of 'Ancient Kingdoms' and placing books back in their places. It brought a smile to his face, despite his grim disposition. After everything was cleaned and put back in order, Luke sat down at his desk. He knew very well that the last bookshelf he didn't check would not hold the information he would have wanted. Better to save himself the disappointment, he reasoned. Bert then walked up next to him and tapped his shoulder. "Mr. Luke, remember yesterday?" Luke sighed. "No, I don't, unfortunately…" "Remember the little note?" "Little note?" "Yeah, the one you found in my book!" Bert proudly held up Ancient Kingdoms for emphasis. "Wait, Bert, your book…" Luke snatched the tome from Bert's hands, quickly flipping to the first entry. Luke smiled to himself and laughed. "Lordran," he read, smiling to himself. He'd found what he had been looking for. "Mr. Luke?" "Not now Bert, this is very important…" He read the entry on the most ancient kingdom of all very carefully. Even though it was only rumored to be legend, even legends held some truth. "Mr. Luke!" Bert shouted, making Luke jump. The boy was normally so soft-spoken, he'd never thought the boy could even raise his voice. Bert then took out a small scroll and the note that Luke had found the day before and laid them both on the desk. "I figured out what was on the paper, Mr. Luke." Luke decided to entertain the boy. After all, it was not like the book was going to disappear any time soon, and it seemed that it was very important. "Corruption of the soul, eat away at the victim. Cloud the air with a dark fog to envelop my foes." Luke read from the parchment, then looked at the small note. Concerned, Luke asked, "Bert… Do you know what this means?" "Yes Mr. Luke. This is an incantation for a hex." [/spoiler]
So, apparently, the OP can only hold so many characters. So, I will be posting the chapters in this thread from now on. Chapter Three [spoiler][i] In a faraway forest, in a long-forgotten land, a bonfire lights the surrounding forest, serving as a beacon for those who would seek comfort in its glow. Not unlike moths to a flame, travelers would come and go. Some would think that they were the chosen ones, the next kings. Others felt that they had no right being there. All of that did not matter to the bonfire, though. It simply burned, and aided those who needed aid. One particular traveler, though, is much more noticed by the bonfire than the rest. He storms into the clearing, bathed in the blood of his enemies, souls practically leaking from his disheveled corpse. And when he uses the bonfire to bind those souls to his ever-growing magnificent soul, the bonfire could see strength that the others had lacked. Perhaps this one would end this cycle, and enable things to begin anew. Or perhaps his soul would become a fragmented and sad shell of what it once was, hollow just like the body he used to possess. Perhaps others would tear his soul apart, piece by piece, and add his power to theirs. The bonfire offers what comfort it can give as the traveler cleans his spear. The traveler, no, the knight, cleans the blood off his armor after he is done honing his blade, and sets out once again, a confident and powerful soul. He is gone, and may not return. The bonfire does not care, though, if the knight returns. The bonfire simply burns on, as it always had. [/i][/spoiler]
I'll favorite it to bookmark Prologue seems engaging
Bumping for more.
Bump I need to read this in the morning
Chapter Four [spoiler] The tavern was alive with the sounds of merriment and jovial drinking, yet one man did not partake of this happiness. He dwelt in his particular corner, normally surrounded by books. But that night, he was surrounded by an air of melancholy, mired in the stench of paranoia. He furtively looked around the room again, his thoughts returning to the paper he had seen earlier that day. The memory of the iron stench made his hairs stand on end. He did not know the handwriting, and he could sense something terrible about the note. Yet, when Bert had asked to take the paper and translate it, he had allowed Bert to take it. Perhaps to get the thing out of his possession. "Luke, big boy.." A busty woman approached the table, but Luke did not look up. The woman slid into his lap and kissed him gently, and stroked his hair. "I'm so glad to see you…" Yet, Luke's expression did not change. The melancholy deepened. The woman frowned. "Orville! A drink for the two of us, please!" She then sat in the chair next to Luke, studying his face. "What's wrong? I've never seen you like this before." Luke finally seemed to notice her presence, and his face lit up when he saw her. "Oh, it is nothing, my dear." The woman smirked. "Don't call me 'my dear'. I know you've been sleepin' around. Girls like to tell stories, after all." Luke grimaced. "I'm sorry, I-" He was cut short by another kiss. "Stop apologizing. I know how you are. And if what the girls say is true, then you've gotten a lot better. So, I should be thanking you." Luke forced a smile as two drinks were set in front of the couple, and the woman gave a few coins before Luke could even react. "My treat," she said, with a sly smile that suggested she expected to be paid back in another fashion. Warmth filled Luke's heart. He began to forget his worries, and poor Mrs. Alkowitz. Before long, he had completely forgotten he was worried in the first place, and had brought his woman back to his house. He felt alive again as he kissed her, and felt he was on top of the world. His crown of glee was soon shattered though, as a scream filled his apartment. The woman, in her drunken stupor, only managed to stumble and bumble for minute before Luke finally learned what was wrong. He rushed to his mirror, and turned his left shoulder to it. Surely enough, upon his left shoulder blade, was a mark that many had feared, and many more had dreaded. Kings fell kingdoms for this mark, and crusades were mounted against it. Burning in his skin was a small circle of flame, and in the center, the beginnings of a deep dark hole. [/spoiler]
Love Dark Souls. Will bump and favorite for later.
It's just the beginning *bass drop

ESPN: Gabbert makes a move in Mizzou QB race
Missouri's first official scrimmage of the spring was on Saturday, and who was the first quarterback to take snaps?
Redshirt freshman Tyler Gabbert.
All three Missouri quarterbacks wore orange jerseys signifying they could each bit hit above the waist, so the race is close, but Gabbert made the most of his opportunity, turning in the best day among the three passers.
Here's how they finished: Gabbert: 20-of-27, 206 yards, TD James Franklin: 18-of-34, 122 yards, TD, INT Ashton Glaser: 14-of-27, 126 yards, TD, INT
Franklin's day featured a forgettable interception returned 40 yards by Zaviar Gooden (Told you folks to ...

I'm in Bolivia, making my way west to Santa Cruz.
Then I want to go back to Brazil and make my way up to French Guyana and on to Suriname and Guyana and on to Venezuala.
Has anyone done this trip before, Brazil to Fr. Guyana?
I'm in Bolivia, making my way west to Santa Cruz.
Then I want to go back to Brazil and make my way up to French Guyana and on to Suriname and Guyana and on to Venezuala.
Has anyone done this trip before, Brazil to Fr. Guyana?
My plans have changed, sort of. I'm still going from Bazil to Fr. Guyana, just the time that I do the trip will be shorter.
I've gone from Paraguay back to Puerto Iguazu, Argentina. I'm going on to Brazil and then up to Fr. Guyana.
But in the meantime I've found out that the European Space Agency are due to launch a rocket from Fr. Guyana on the 03rd August so the race is on to get there in time and see it.
So I made to French Guyana from Brazil.
The last bit of my journey was Brasilia to Belem by bus, took over 36 hours, should have taken 32-33.
Then took a boat from Belem to Macapa. Amazing experience being on the Amazon, no wildlife really to be seen but still incredible sunsets etc and locals rowing their canoes on the river.
Next was a bus over the craziest road from Macapa to Oiapoque in Brazil, boat across the river to St. George de Oyapoque in Fr Guyana. They`re building a bridge at the moment which I saw under construction. It will change the experience for people travelling to this part of the world.
If anyone is coming this way there`s no need to get a taxi from Oiapoque, Brazil bus station to the Policia Federal station in Oiapoque. Just turn left as you exit the bus sataion and it`s a mile down the road. Taxi drivers look for 10Reais for this short distance which is a rip off.
When you come out of the Policia station just continue down the street and that`s where the boats are.
Then a minibus to Cayenne.
Space shuttle launch that I posted about previously is still on for tomorrow, so hopefully I get to see it frm the beach in Kouru.
Interesting trip and thanks for sharing.
It's on my list to travel the Guyana's and maybe visit Belem and surroundings as well. I love the Amazone Rainforest in general.
How's the road from Macapa north? Is it still like 24 hours or so which I have read before?
The bus north from Macapa to Oiapoque took about 14 hours.
The road is pretty good for the first 3 hours of the trip as it goes to a small city.
Then it gets bad, it`s going through the jungle really, so you`re being thrown around every so often.
Because it`s at night I couldn`t see much.
I`d advise anyone doing this trip to do it during the day, you would see so much.
The company I used charge 65Reais, pretty old crappy bus with no toilet, even though said there would be one. We did stop every few hours though.
There is another company that do the route as well and they charge 57Reais.

UK Property Law
Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
When does he claim that the property was sold without his knowledge?Tom
the couple we bought the house from , bought it in 2002,he claims he bought it approx 40 years ago, he claims his step daughter has sold the property without him knowing.
How does she claim she did this? With a power or attorney or by way of fraud?Tom
Well the proper avenue for that is for him to go and see a solicitor. This is what you should tell him if he returns. I don't know what he expected you to do or say frankly and it does not speak to a particulaly cogent thought process.
In any event a proeprty cannot be transferred without the Seller executing the Land Registry transfer form. If the property was sold and there was a mortgage on it then a solicitor would have acted on his behalf. There are rigourous rules imposed on solicitors to verify the identity of the person selling the property. If they could not do this by taking his passport/proof of address directly from him then they would not be able to sell the property.
If there was no mortgage then a seller may act on their own behalf, but the Land Registry would not regsiter the transfer without a special form verifying the identity of the seller. This form must be taken to a solicitor who would perform the same identity checks as above and complete the form.
The chances that the daugher was able to circumvent the above rules is so remote so as to be near negligible in my view.
In any event his claim would be against his daugher not you.
I would not worry too much. If he comes again just be polite and invite him to take the advice of a solicitor.
If this is useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. You will be free to ask follow up questions.

Signed and vetoed
Tuesday, Aug 12, 2014
* Signed…
Excellent bill. Way past due.
* Vetoed…
That isn't much of a speed increase. From his veto message…
Um, if increasing speed limits leads to increased highway deaths, why did he sign a bill to raise the limit to 70 mph?
But it is true that higher speeds lengthen stopping distances. I bought a camper this year and I have to always be careful about leaving enough room in front of me when I'm pulling it behind my truck. Pulling that thing can be downright scary sometimes.
Your thoughts?
