The Conservation Fund, a national organization dedicated to preserving land and protecting natural resources, facilitated the purchase, working with the two states and former property owner Swedish Match Co., the successor to Culbro Tobacco and General Cigar.
Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said the $4.4 million purchase mitigates the loss of grasslands elsewhere along the Connecticut River corridor.
"By reaching across state borders, we will be able to protect and restore this significant grasslands area and boost the Commonwealth's land protection efforts," said Governor Patrick.
"This is truly an historic day and demonstrates remarkable cooperation between states, private conservation groups and business," Governor Rell said.

"The types of lands suitable for grassland habitats are under tremendous development pressure, especially along the Connecticut River corridor," she said. "This purchase helps ensure that our states retain enough suitable land to continue attracting important migratory bird species, which are a part of the tremendous biodiversity that makes this region such a special place to live."
The new wildlife management area covers 254 acres in Southwick, Massachusetts, and 196 acres in Suffield, Connecticut.
With the land deal complete, the states will begin enhancing habitat on the property for upland sandpipers, grasshopper sparrows, eastern meadowlarks, and savannah sparrows - all of which are expected to increase in number. Wetlands on the property already harbor a great blue heron rookery.
The Connecticut River Valley from the Hartford area north into Massachusetts includes grasslands that serve as a prime nesting and breeding grounds for more than 80 bird species.
Thirteen species are listed under the Connecticut Endangered Species Act, and of those, eight breed in the Connecticut River Valley.
In Massachusetts, the state's Endangered Species Act protects eight grassland bird species - five of which breed in the Connecticut River Valley.
As their grassland habitat has become attractive to residential and commercial developers, both states have made preservation a priority.
Both Connecticut and Massachusetts identified the need to protect grassland birds through their State Wildlife Action Plans.
In Massachusetts, the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife spent six weeks this fall removing 27 miles of wire, 3,000 tobacco poles, and tobacco shade tenting from the Southwick land in order to restore the former tobacco fields to open meadows for wildlife. The Division also is moving to repair damage from illegal ATV use on the property and to curtail future illegal ATV trespass.
In Connecticut, similar efforts are underway on the Suffield portion of the property to address the remaining wire, poles, and shade netting, and to remove unsafe structures and debris.
Wildlife biologists have begun collecting information on the species that live on the property, which lies east of the Congamond Lakes. As they learn how wildlife uses the area, a management plan will be implemented to enhance the fields, woods and wetlands to benefit species from native bees to musk turtles to great blue herons.
"Audubon applauds the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts for this important conservation success," said Thomas Baptist, vice president and executive director of Audubon Connecticut.
"This site is among the most promising areas in southern New England to establish a viable nesting area for state-endangered birds such as upland sandpiper and grasshopper sparrow," he said.
"Grasslands are one of the top priority habitats recognized by both the Connecticut Audubon Society's 2006 Connecticut State of the Birds Report and the DEP's Connecticut Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy," said Milan Bull, senior director for science and conservation at Connecticut Audubon Society.
"This acquisition provides the most significant protection of important grassland habitat in our time," said Bull.
"Wildlife knows no state boundaries," said Larry Selzer, president and CEO of The Conservation Fund. "We thank Governor Rell and Governor Patrick for their strong support and for working together toward the common goal of restoring and protecting vital habitat for endangered grassland birds. Their cooperation serves as a model and inspiration for conservation across the country."

Kevin Schank, who lives in Ventura, Calif., was on a three-member team that competed against two other teams to find a suitcase containing $100,000 hidden on New Zealand's South Island.
Team members, who had 72 hours to find the suitcase, began with a GPS unit, coordinates of the suitcase and a bottle of water each.
Schank was a firefighter in Alaska for a year and later a member of the elite firefighting team, the Craig Interagency Hotshot Crew. He is doing roofing in California.
According to TNT's "72 Hours" Web page: "Every episode of '72 Hours' opens with three teams comprised of three strangers who must traverse through a variety of challenging environments – jungle, mountain, desert, etc. – in search for a briefcase filled with money."

Sarcoidosis and Diabetes Mellitus
Miy daughter has had sarcoidosis, also in the nerves, maybe even in the brain. Now she has got diabetes mellitus. Is it possible there is a link between sarcoidosis and diabetes mellitus, and so yes, what can you tell me about this link?
Dear Sir/Madam-
It is uncommon for sarcoidosis to cause diabetes mellitus; however, drugs commonly used to treat sarcoidosis can increase the risk of diabetes. In particular, corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone) commonly increases blood glucose levels and can promote diabetes. Very rarely, sarcoidosis can affect the pancreas and may contribute to diabetes mellitus. Since diabetes mellitus is a common health condition, the concurrence of diabetes mellitus and sarcoidosis is often coincidental. Nonetheless, reliance on corticosteroids for the treatment of sarcoidosis should be minimized in those who have diabetes mellitus.

Review: Battlefield 4 bundle, rock solid DD cooler
Today we want to share our thoughts on XFX's Radeon DD R9 270X. The full name of the card is XFX Double Dissipation R9 270X 1050M Boost 2GB DDR5 Ghost Thermal Dual Mini DisplayPort HDMI dual-DVI or Part No.: R9-270X-CDFC. Let's also add that XFX is giving away a Battlefield download code and the deal is retroactive – it even applies to consumers who happen to already have an XFX R9 270X, bought before November 12 2013.
In terms of specifications, the R9 270X is identical to the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition. The only exception is the updated display controller hardware. New R9-series cards are a bit better compared to the HD 7000-series when it comes to using multiple displays. If you are planning to use a three-monitor setup, you no longer have to use DisplayPort for the third one; you can use two DVIs and an HDMI connector.
AMD partners had a lot of time to get acquainted with the HD 7870, so they also developed even better coolers for the 270X. XFX is no exception and we are pleased to confirm that the DD R9 270X runs silently under full load.
The R9 270X and HD 7870 are based on 28nm Pitcairn silicon, now known under new a name as Curacao. It features 1280 stream processors, 80 texture memory units (TMUs), 32 raster operations units (ROPs), and a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface backed by 2GB of GDDR5 memory.
XFX DD R9-270X-CDFC works on reference clocks and that is plain to see in GPUZ.

Hi everyone!
I have 2 great kids who are 9 and 6. They both still believe in Santa, the Easter bunny, and tooth fairy...well at least they say they do. I have doubts about my son (the 9 y.o.).
For a while now I have been feeling bad about keeping up the ruse. Every now and again they will ask questions and I just feel so guilty about brushing them off or outright lying to them. When they ask questions about other topics I never lie. I always answer their questions to the best of my abilities in a way they understand, but when it comes to these stupid traditions, I just can't seem to bring myself to tell the truth.
My husband has mentioned having similar feelings though we've never talked about if we should break the news to the kids or not.
What's your take? What did you do with your children, or what was your experience as a child? I know I believed as a kid, but I honestly can't remember when I found out the truth.
Should I answer their questions truthfully or keep it going until it runs it's course?

I taught the bible as literature for many years, and I often said the bible was "true"--only insofar as, in places, it reflects the true thinking and feeling of many humans over the centuries. But I also taught mythology and fiction (novels) the same way. Good literature reflects the human condition and is in that way "true."
Is there any better and briefer description of the dichotomies and struggles of human life than this from "Job"?
1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down : he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
I wasn't angry or anyting when I found out, although I did not do a good job keeping the truth from my little brother. I actually started questioning religion as a result of Santa and the rest being lies, which isn't likely to happen here :).
I think if your nine-year-old asks directly, you should ask him what he thinks and why. My parents almost never answered a direct question about Santa and the rest; they always asked us what we thought and why. If the answers reveal that the game's up, though, you should come clean, especially if still believing could cause him to be teased or get angry with you.
I also think you need an explanation for why you've been lying so long. It could put you in a bad spot to admit to lying, because lying about one thing begs the question: what else have you lied about? My mom told me about little white lies, like not telling someone that they look bad or helping kids have "a magical childhood" versus big, bad lies that hurt people like letting someone else get in trouble for something you did. You could try that approach.
PS, my parents still would make the presents, eggs, and money "magically" appear while we were sleeping, so it was awesome even without the made-up stuff.
Consider the benefits and costs of the Santa Claus lie.
One benefit: it gets/extorts a few days of good behavior without whatever punishments parents use.
One cost: it wrecks the trust that kids have in their parents.
I'm eighty and still remember where I was and the sadness I felt when I realized that my parents had bought the presents.
That's interesting. Parents can use Santa as a way of ducking direct responsiblity for disciplining the child.
Instead of saying, "if you don't behave, we might not give you presents", you blame it on a magical person! Furthermore, since Santa's omniscient, the parent doesn't even have to take blame for tattling. The parent completely avoids being the "bad guy" in the relationship.
I can see how the myth is useful, but there must be more honest ways of doing it!

Conference at Rochester Looks at Timeless Hero's Status as a Creature of the Media
The hero of Sherwood Forest is one of the best-known outlaws in history for launching attacks on the wealthy and the wicked in order to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Despite the fact that his origins are unknown, he has no authorized biography, and even scholars continue to debate whether or not he is real, Robin Hood continues to reappear, transformed by the media that present him, and gaining the attention of both popular culture and the International Association for Robin Hood Studies Seventh Biennial Conference.
"Every generation gets the Robin Hood they want and the Robin Hood they deserve," says Thomas Hahn, professor of English and the organizer of "Robin Hood: Media Creature," a conference that will examine the ways in which the outlaw hero has been reshaped over the past 700 years. Beginning Thursday, Oct. 22 on the River Campus, scholars and fans will take a look at the evolution of Robin Hood through stage, song, literature, memorabilia, and more. Even Hollywood can't leave the legend alone as it prepares for the 2010 release of Robin Hood, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe, not to mention the start of the third season of Robin Hood, a the hit show on BBC America.
So how is it that an obscure mythological character, who may not have existed, remains an iconic figure all over the world and throughout history? According to Hahn, "The tale provides an escapist fantasy that is timeless and compelling to people at any age." It includes themes of rebellion, justice, brotherhood, and even a love interest- all subjects that Hahn says not only make a great story, but that are easy to connect with people's emotions.
"Robin Hood: Media Creature" will include the 21st century World Premier of Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood, a newly restored print of the 1922 film, which will be screened before an audience of 500 at the historic Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman House. Accompanying the film will be a live 11-piece orchestra, playing a newly reconstructed score. "The showing will duplicate the experience of audiences who attended the Hollywood premier, and those in the early 20th century movie palaces," notes Hahn, explaining the film was shown once before at the Eastman Theatre, back in 1923.
The print was restored by the Museum of Modern Art and the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. Contributors to the conference's unique nature and array of events includes the Strong National Museum of Play, the University's Eastman School of Music, Rossell Hope Robbins Library, and a number of private Robin Hood collectors in Los Angeles, Baltimore, and Rochester.
Throughout the event, researchers from around the world will present findings on well-established and even controversial aspects of the tale of Robin Hood, using stories, images, music, television, and film to explain complex issues and cultures from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. According to Hahn, while the tale lacks the prestige of, say, the works of William Shakespeare, the world's familiarity with the story has made it compatible with many different fields of academic study, including English language and literature, history, musicology and music performance, media studies, and visual studies.
Instrumental in the planning of the first international conference of Robin Hood studies in 1997, Hahn says he is thrilled to have the event return to Rochester for the first time in more than10 years and even encourages people to dress up for the occasion. However, his enthusiasm only goes so far. "While I will have hundreds of items from my personal collection on display, you won't see me walking around with a feather in my cap!"
The four-day conference will take place Oct. 22 to 25 at the University of Rochester and many of the events are free and open to the public. For details, visit www.rochester.edu/robinhood or e-mail email@example.com.
Highlights of "Robin Hood: Media Creature" include:
The Americanization of Robin Hood, 1883-1923
Rare Books and Special Collections, Rush Rhees Library
An exhibition of Robin Hood-related materials, ranging from the 18th to 21st centuries in all media, selected from thousands of items in paper media, film and TV recordings, musical recordings, a selection of previously un-exhibited photographs and other artifacts. The exhibition traces the development of the American images of Robin Hood deemed responsible for changing the outlaw's status in international popular culture.
"An Impression of the Middle Ages": Production Stills from Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood
Rare Books and Special Collections, Rush Rhees Library
A major exhibition drawing upon an archive of nearly 100 negatives at the George Eastman House, most never exhibited or examined. The display will also include original posters, lobby cards, and the boots that Fairbanks wore in the film.
Operetta in Performance: An Evening of Songs and Arias
Thursday, Oct. 22, 8 p.m., Interfaith Chapel
Steven Daigle (Chair, Strings, Eastman School of Music, and Artistic Director, Ohio Light Opera) has organized an evening of arias and songs from Robin Hood musicals, spanning the 18th to the 20th centuries. This presentation will feature musicians and singers from the Ohio Light Opera, as well as faculty and students from the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester.
Concert of Early Lute Music
Grammy-Award winner Paul O'Dette (Eastman School of Music faculty) will offer a recital of Elizabethan Greenwood and Robin Hood-related lute music, drawing upon the repertoire he established in albums including: Robin is to the Greenwood Gone (1992) and Robin Hood: Elizabethan Ballad Settings (2001).
East Coast Premier of Robin Hood (Éclair America, 1912)
Friday, Oct. 23, 9 p.m., Strong Auditorium
The earliest surviving film featuring Robin Hood, in a recently restored print from the Fort Lee Film Commission. To date, it has been shown only once in Los Angeles. Solo musical accompaniment by Dr. Philip C. Carli, renowned film expert and musicologist who has accompanied silent films at the Pordenone Festival in Italy, and elsewhere in Europe and North America.
Twenty-First Century World Premier of Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood (United Artists, 1922)
Live orchestral accompaniment with Gillian Anderson
Saturday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m., Dryden Theatre
A new 35mm tinted print, restored by the Museum of Modern Art and George Eastman House/ International Museum of Film and Photography, will be screened before an audience of 500 at the Dryden Theatre, George Eastman House.
Gillian Anderson, renowned musicologist and film expert will conduct a live orchestra playing the newly reconstructed score of Robin Hood. The showing will duplicate the experience of audiences who attended the first-ever Hollywood premier, and those in the early 20th century movie palaces, will be instructed by Dr. Patrick Loughney, Head, National Audio Visual Conservation Center, Library of Congress (Packard Campus).
Plenary speakers include:
Professor Helen Phillips
Phillips is a professor at Cardiff University, one of Britain's major teaching and research universities. She is also the author of numerous books, including: Robin Hood: Medieval and Post-Medieval (2005) and Bandit Territories: British Outlaws and their Traditions (2008).
Gillian Anderson
The internationally renowned composer, conductor and musicologist, has participated in the reconstruction and performance of 34 orchestral scores from silent films. In addition, she is an author and founding editor of the new journal, Music and the Moving.

The SVP Gold Initiative
Launched in September of 2011, it has finally reached the requisite number of signatures.
The "Gold Initiative" in Switzerland was started by the Swiss People's Party (SVP). Research I've done describes this as a "right wing" political group. This seems a bit strange as most groups called "people's" party are invariably socialist or, at a minimum, left-leaning. Additionally, some reports indicate that the SVP is the largest party in the Swiss National Council. Perhaps there are some Swiss Turdites out there who could shed some light on all of this.
Regardless of the politics, the entire episode is interesting. The movement began in September 2011, about two weeks after the Swiss National Bank took the unprecedented step of pegging the Franc to the Euro. (Astute readers will recall that this SNB action also began the protracted price correction that continues to this day.) Below is the English language version of the original initiative.
Goldinitiative English by Turd Ferguson
What has followed is nearly 18 months of grass roots campaigning that has finally netted the 100,000 signatures necessary to force a national referendum. Of course, some media have already spun this as a quixotic attempt that will ultimately fail to gain the necessary votes to pass. http://news.yahoo.com/swiss-wing-forces-referendum-banning-snb-gold-sales-174344976--business.html
Others don't seem so sure, like this article from centralbanking.com (Did you even know there was such a place? And who reads this site? The Bernank and his Goons?) http://www.centralbanking.com/central-banking/news/2256709/swiss-national-bank-faces-referendum-over-gold-sales
Regardless of the coverage, this still rates as a very interesting development. Given the situation in Cyprus and the attendant and pending failures of confidence throughout the Continent, perhaps this initiative will find more popular support than the pundits predict. And what if it passes? Then what?? Needless to say, this is something we are definitely going to keep close tabs on going forward.

THIRD! (or NOT!)
Each time I hit Top Ten (WHY is it so exciting??!), I feel it is a Point Of Honor to Feed The Turd.
(Even a little.)
In APPRECIATION, and for the 'ethereal hand-holding...'
Hope Mrs. T is feeling chipper again with 100 % Good News!

Nine or Ten?
I've lost count.
the final naked short cometh
The charts have been set up for the Big Drop, soon to come. No surprise here, given the extent of the short positions and the endless unchecked criminal activity designed to prop up the US dollar and markets, while holding down precious metals.
Here's the thing . . . eventually as prices drop, the corresponding rush to accumulate physical metal will dry up supplies to the point where NONE will be available.
Thus the ultimate divergence will occur, that will trigger the default of the COMEX and a corresponding skyrocketing price of physical metal. Probably at about the time when the US dollar loses its global reserve status, the US government defaults on its debt, and all that ammo that Homeland Security has been stockpiling gets put to use . . . .
DOT - And your timeline is?
...big drop, accumulation, COMEX default, to the moon....
I think we've heard this before and we know the script. If you're going to repeat the obvious and oft-repeated, at least entertain us with 1) seminal event and 2) timeline. Then those of us who have been here since just about Day 1 will say, "Wow, something new!"
Even though it will probably be wrong. Just whining...pardon me.
It's a "laundrette" not a "laundromat"
oh, and "aluminium" not "aluminum"
"barrister" not "attorney" (CAL needs to take note)
"biscuit" not "cookie" (what ON EARTH is a cookie? Jeez)
"dustbin" not "trash can" (It's not a CAN is it? Ye gods.)
"car park" not "parking lot" (Do you have "parking less" there too?)
"postcode" not "zip code" (a zip is something you do clothes up with, for god's sake)
"autumn" not "fall" (shocking!)
Oh, and being 'economical' with the spelling..
"flavour" not "flavor"
"labour" not "labor"
"colour" not "color"
and then there's the 'z' s
"realise" not "realize"
"organise" not "organize"
"recognise" not "recognize"
Bysantium needs sorting out too. And he's from the UK!
Well, I could go on for ever.
Sort it out.
Hehe, I haven't read the other thread, but yea I get your gist. You cunny funt you.

steady on, there are some zeds in the English language. (Zee's for our US friends). Don't tell me Zed's dead?
I am not swiss, will have to wait several years for this, but live in Switzerland since a couple of years. My personal opinion of the SVP (and in French speaking Switzerland UDC: Union Democratique du Centre) it's one of the very few real conservative parties left in Europe, the media here like in the rest of Europe are very much on the left of the spectrum and tend to put a "right wing" sticker on anything that is right of the middle.
It's conservative and nationalist in that it wants to conserve the swiss way of life and go back to a more controled immigration (don't forget that around 20% of the population living in CH is NOT swiss). It doesn't advocate to throw out every non swiss, but supported the initiative (which was accepted by the Swiss people and Cantons) to force convicted criminals back to their home country as well as the initiative to forbid the construction of minarets in Switzerland. From the economic point of view it's more on the less government side than on the more government side. Originally they were catering to the farmers who are conservative and mostly small entities (no large farms here) wanting to be kept alone, running their farm.
They are for sure not politically correct ;)

RE: Attention Canadians
A million hat tricks from this Canuck too...I read it and it was just too Twilight Zone'ish! (wish I had a good link to a Rod Sirling classic)...here it is in the raw for interested readers from Page 144 of the Government of Canada 2013 budget:
"The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and re
turned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants."
Another TF Metals "you heard it first here!"...I've already blasted this to all the commentators of news shows and opposition members of government within 30 minutes of reading it, that's how much it got my dander up!
Now I know I've entered in Alice in Wonderland territory
when I completely agree with the former Ass't. Treas. Sec. under Reagan.
Great interview.

Cyprus reopens banks, under strict restrictions
NICOSIA (Reuters) - Cypriots are expected to descend in their thousands on Thursday on banks, which reopen with tight controls imposed on transactions to prevent fleeing depositors from cleaning out the vaults in a catastrophic bank run.
Well, if you thought today's silver er tradng was volatile, what's
going to happen tomorrow.
It's kinda like a kid who can't wait for Christmas the night before, except
one doesn't know if it's going to Santa or the Grinch who actully arrives.
The Dollar Failing as Reserve Currency? C'mon....Really?
First let me say how grateful I am for all of your insights and discussion as a group. Thanks for providing the space TURD. Theres something awesome about a bunch of people expressing their opinions without that opinion having to be "right". I am also thankful that these stupid plantation scripts can still buy real things. I am thankful that I get to witness one of the greatest events in human history...live.
For me the USD is dead, as the reserve currency status is already compromised.
I knew it before ..but this last November sealed the deal in my mind.
You have Saudia Arabia trading oil out of the USD with Britain. Another example.
OPEC buyers remorse...aught to be interesting who they side with. My moneys with Russia and China.
BRICS looking to create competition to SWIFT and IMF.... uhhh?
The lights are on....the Booze is gone.....the chicks are gone....and most people are still looking for another drink.
Good news.......is theres an after party...but you got to have the right ticket.
(Hint: The Tickets Not Paper)
TURD.. Please Send Deep Purple Haze an invitation back...hes butt hurt. But hes cool. :) We are all stressed.
Ancient relic...
Sure is alot of security and secrecy for just some "ancient relics".
top 50...
..so much for the IQ thing!
Junior miner blog
Turdites and fellow bugs,
I've got a small junior miner blog going, if anyone's interested, have a peek.
My Dear Extended Family,

Things are happening very fast. I will announce one or two meetings shortly in Toronto for both corporate and reader related Q&A.
It is glaringly apparent that there is a strong move on to scare big money out of the banks that are trusted by the establishment and are "Too Big to Fail." Cash has been hoarded in these banks which does the bank nor the economy any good. This initiative, like most government plans, is absolutely sure to backfire hard.
There are two things to do immediately:
1. Get your money out of the "Too Big To Fails."
2. Increase your gold position.
Respectfully yours,
The official 2013 Canadian budget contains an explicit provision that Canada will pursue the bail-in model for systemically important banks for future bank failures!
Titled ECONOMIC ACTION PLAN 2013
From Plan 2013 Page 144: (pg 154 of pdf)
"The Government also recognizes the need to manage the risks associated with systemically important banks-those banks whose distress or failure could cause a disruption to the financial system and, in turn, negative impacts on the economy. This requires strong prudential oversight and a robust set of options for resolving these institutions without the use of taxpayer funds, in the unlikely event that one becomes non-viable."
From Plan 2013 Page 145: (pg 155 of pdf)
The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital.
This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants...
This risk management framework will limit the unfair advantage that could be gained by Canada's systemically important banks through the mistaken belief by investors and other market participants that these institutions are "too big to fail".

I have, I'll write my little story after reading everyone else's
get em teddy ◟ʕ╬ᴥ╬ ◟ʔ
Cant say that i have ever been bullied by a teacher.
However i had my high school football coach as a teacher and man was he cruel.
Either way to err is human, I am sorry you have/had to deal with that.
Up all night because someones got to do it
Nope. I deserved every detention I got... either forgot my homework, didn't do them, misbehaving or coming late to class.
It was really stupid, if you were late 3 times, you have to stay back for after school detention for 1 hour. Even the punishment didn't make me more punctual. I'm only punctual for events that I consider are important, like an exam or a job interview.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Nope but i have bullied a teacher(yea i really feel bad about this, but its mostly been solved). You know how it is, kids...
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.

I was the same as you in elementary school, except I didn't misbehave. Punishment was facing a brick wall for the entirety of recess. No problem, since at that time I lived mostly in my head anyway with my vast imagination. I was the kid who stared out the window and daydreamed during class.
Watching K-dramas instead of sleeping....;D
I got picked on by a teacher couple times. She actually grabbed my tie the one day and strangled me with it but it was momentary and I don't know the intent behind it. She's my least favorite teacher to this day though.
"Courage is not the absence of fear." -Portal
Yeah, by my piano teacher. The guy obviously had anger management issues, telling me I was stupid, breaking pencils and all that. It made me lose my interest on playing and I dreaded attending the lessons. On the day before I finally progress to grade 2, I decided to ditch the lessons for good. Since I was a secretive child I didn't tell my dad that my teacher was a complete asshole. He scolded me telling me I wasted resources. He never allowed me to take lessons anymore.
I regained my interest after a few years and studied on my own. Now I can play pretty advanced pieces but I don't know if I'm playing 'em right. Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if I had a different teacher. -_-
Sarcasm bullied? ;D
what is this cr stuff
eh sorta, but it's more of a matter of opinion.
I used to get picked on by my ICT teacher in primary school because I was really quiet. She'd always pick me to answer questions just because I was shy & used to hide.
tbh, I still think she was just being an asshole because she used to laugh at me n start grinning if I got the answer wrong.
Nowp if I thought a teacher was being unreasonable I just answered back. I've never been able to take any shit from anybody
♥♥♫♥Its so good gal turn me on♥♥♫♪
Yes, I have
The past is the past, don't let it cloud who you are now.
my physic teacher called my parent a couple time just because i got 60 on my quiz. but he did not call my friend's parent when she failed that same quiz.
thank God he doesn't teach me now.
Once my class ended up with a "boy" (22 years old) as a teacher. We were all maybe 18 years old. I am pretty good at sports. I play volleyball, tennis, do yoga etc.
Once, I got a canon ball thrown hard in my face (accident), and I fell right back and fainted. This young teacher didn't care of course. I got back up and into the game in just a few minutes. I wanted a good grade, and I was so proud of myself for not skipping any of gym classes.
In the end of the year he gave me one grade above failing because he didn't think I looked sporty. A girl who had not even been in gym class got 3/6, and a girl that only had been there a few times got 5/6 because she was in a volleyball team on her free time.
I was not pretty and sporty enough. I don't know if this is "bullying" but it sure is lack of respect for other people. I did my very best that year.
5th Grade Teacher would blow everything outta proportion just because I liked to strip naked >.>
I took biochemistry as an elective and had been looking forward to it for years. The professor had some mysterious grudge against me and for the first six weeks of classes would shout at me and call me stupid. He kicked me out of his office hours saying that he couldn't be bothered with me. If I asked any questions he would refuse to answer, telling me that I was too stupid and needed to retake organic chemistry. I started having the students sitting on either side of me ask my questions for me so that I could get an answer, and I tape recorded the lectures for evidence against him if he used my grade to punish me. I was taking the class to learn the material, so I was willing to tolerate verbal abuse as long as it didn't interfere with my academics.
After the first exam he realized I'm not as stupid as he thought and stopped bullying me, but kept refusing to answer my questions on the grounds that I was jumping ahead of the topic and he would get to it in a day or two. I got 96% in the class. A year later I was teaching in the same department and he was always very friendly and polite. Go figure.
The same thing we do every night, Pinky...

Melissa was my brother's kid. Twelve going on twenty-five. She was sure she had no use for school 'cause she knew it all. She came to stay with me while my brother and his wife got away for a while.When my brother called to make the arrangements, I wondered just what they were getting away from. After a week with Melissa, I didn't have to wonder.
The tirade on October 1, 2005, was about history. Melissa slammed shut her book about the 1960s. "Why do we have to study this ancient history, anyway? I'm never going to use this stuff!"
I'll admit I wasn't too enamored with history when I was Melissa's age, but nowadays, I have more appreciation for the subject. Perhaps you have to have a past before you can truly appreciate the past. Besides, a detective who doesn't keep track of history is doomed to repeatedly solve the same case.
I was about to attempt to defend our public education system in general and the study of history in particular, when mercifully, my phone rang. It was an IT supervisor named Nancy Summers. She wanted to see me right away. I told Melissa to keep studying and I'd be back in time for dinner.
"I have a security problem, Mr. Powers," offered Ms. Summers when I arrived at her office."One of my employees has been falsifying security logs."
"Trying to cover his tracks by erasing information?" I ventured.
"No, he's actually creating entries in the security log where no entries were before." Ms. Summers explained. "In several places, the log shows a Windows logon for one of my administrators, Ed Century, that wasn't there before. The strangest part is, these new entries show up for dates that are months in the past."
I gave Ms. Summers a quizzical look. "So, just what is Mr. Century up to?"
Ms. Summers leaned toward me across her desk. "That's what I want you to find out."
I agreed to take the case, and in no time I was staking out Ed Century's cubical. It wasn't too exciting. This guy just sat at his desk and worked hard. He worked real hard. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that crooks are crooked because they don't want to work hard. There had to be another explanation for the strange security log entries.
All of Mr. Century's hard work must have made him tired. It certainly made me tired; which is probably why I fell asleep during the surveillance.When I awoke, the office was dark and deserted. I'd missed my dinner date with my niece. I was about to grab my cell phone and give Melissa a call when I heard someone coming down the hall. It was Mr. Century! Apparently, he hadn't worked hard enough during the day and was back for more.
Mr. Century, wearing the same white shirt and khakis I had seen him in earlier in the day, went to his cubicle and began typing on his computer, just the same as he had done all day long. But what happened next was not the same. There was suddenly a bright flash of light in the cubicle and Mr. Century was gone!
I ran to the cubicle to see what had happened. It was completely empty except for a computer flashing "March 1,2005" on its screen.
As I stood baffled, there was another flash of light. I closed my eyes to shield them from the glare. When I opened them, Mr. Century was again standing in the cubicle. However, he was wearing a blue shirt and jeans. He looked at me with mild surprise and said, "Mr. Powers, what are you doing here?"
My cover was blown, although I couldn't for the life of me figure out how it had happened. I decided to use the direct approach. "I'm here to investigate why a seemingly conscientious administrator is making spurious security-log entries."
Mr. Century smiled. "But you solved that mystery months ago."
"Very well, wiseacre," I growled, "would you care to explain how months ago I solved a case that I just accepted this afternoon?"
"From my perspective, it was months ago," Mr. Century explained, "you see, I've come here from April 1, 2006."
"Sorry, Century, you're still making no sense."
"I suppose I'm not," Mr. Century apologized. "Allow me to explain. We've been using Reporting Services here for about a year. Everything worked great except for the Budget Statement."
"You had a problem creating the Budget Statement report?" I interrupted.
"Not at all," Mr. Century continued. "The report worked fine. The problem occurred when the finance department started asking for older versions of the report."
"Older versions?" "They wanted to see what the Budget Statement looked like two months ago or four months ago or six months ago. I had to save old versions of the report layout. I had to save old versions of the data. I had to make sure I matched the appropriate version of the layout to the appropriate version of the data whenever I ran an old report. It was such a hassle. That was when I invented the time machine."
I picked my jaw up off the floor and made sure I had heard this young man correctly. "You use a time machine to go back and run old versions of the report and then take them to the future?"
"Exactly," Mr. Century confirmed. "At least I did until you told me about history snapshots."
"I told you?" I said, feeling very confused. "Of course. You showed me how to schedule history snapshots by using the Report Properties dialog box in SQL Server Management Studio. (See Figure 1.) Now, on the first day of every month, Reporting Services stores a history snapshot of the Budget Statement. (See Figure 2.) I can request a display of any history snapshot by clicking it. You also told me that I could do all of this by using the Report Manager just as easily as I did by using Management Studio."
"Anything else I told you?" I asked,my head still spinning.
"You told me the best thing about history snapshots is that they save both the report layout and a copy of the data at the time the snapshot is created. I don't have to save old versions of the data or the report layout. It's all done for me in the history snapshot."
"Just one more question," I said, "if you're using history snapshots, why did you time-travel back here tonight?"
"I began using history snapshots with the November 2005 report. When finance requests anything earlier than that, I still need to use the time machine."
With that, I let Mr. Century log on, run his report, and be on his way. Moments after the blue-shirted Mr. Century flashed back to the future, the white-shirted Mr. Century reappeared as he returned from the past. "Who are you?" he said with a start.
"I am B.I. Powers and I've come to make your time travel a thing of the past."
I told the present Mr. Century about history snapshots, just as the future Mr. Century said I would. He was extremely grateful and asked if there was anything he could do to repay me. I looked at my pocket watch, saw the hands creeping close to midnight, and knew the form that repayment would take. With a little help from Mr. Century's time machine, I made it home by 5:45 P.M., with enough time to fix franks and beans for Melissa and me. Over dinner, I told Melissa how truly important history can be.
This case involved travel through the dimension of time. In my next case, I discover that working with the time dimension of an OLAP cube can be just as tricky!
B.I. Powers shares an office at Superior Consulting Services in Minneapolis with Brian Larson, a frequent presenter about SQL Server business intelligence and author of Delivering Business Intelligence with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 2006). Powers is too cheap to get his own email box but may be contacted through Larson's address at [email protected]

The Niagara-Wheatfield Board of Education meeting was off to an appreciative start last week with a reception honoring the 2011 and 2012 district retirees.
Board members, retirees, and supportive residents, friends, and families gathered for punch, cookies, and celebration. Interim Superintendent James Knowles introduced each retiree and thanked them for their commitment to the district.
Following an executive session, the board allowed residents to take the floor. Most notably, several parents expressed concerns about buses not transporting senior high school students to more than one location in the case of duplicate households. Attendees explained that, in the past, the district allowed buses to transport students to more than one household, and other districts continue this practice. Knowles initially responded that law prohibits dropping students off at more than one house.
"What we are allowed to do is drop a child off at one house," Knowles said.
Niagara-Wheatfield parent Michael Bauer argued that the law does not prohibit the district from transporting children to more than one household, but does not require it.
"The law doesn't say you can't," he responded. "It just says that you don't have to."
Later, during new business section, Board President Steve Sabo suggested that busing should be provided to all tax-paying households.
"In these situations, we have two families paying taxes in the district for their children," explained Sabo. "They are both paying taxes, and for the simple convenience, they should be able to have busing."
Other board members agreed so long as the school district had information about what house children should be transported to at what time. The policy was not brought into motion during the meeting, but in the future, the bus policy will be reviewed.
In a review of old business, Board Member Richard Sirianni raised a motion to approve the credit union funding a 60-foot roadway between the credit union office and campus road. Addressing safety issues with the current exit's left turn onto Route 31, Sirianni relayed that "sometimes there are road issues on Route 31 and different emergencies. The road gives the district a safer emergency exit on the east side of the campus."
District Director of Facilities and Operations Delbert Ambrosia supported this undertaking, asserting, "in the past, we have had issues with the current roadway in front of the school being blocked, so this would give us an exit on the other side."
Sabo said that the motion could be voted on and passed, but would have to be reviewed by legal counsel before official enactment. The motion was passed unanimously.
In other issues, all personnel issues and staff placement motions were passed. Sabo announced that the school board will now provide time for a second public forum at the end of meetings so that attendees may comment on the meeting's topics.
Additionally, members unanimously passed a motion to move forward the fall non-league sports games funding deadline settled in the Aug. 1 meeting.
Knowles announced that high school Vice Principal Amanda Bennett resigned to take a position in a new district, and wished her the best in her new career endeavor.
The meeting ended as it began, with board members expressing their gratitude to retirees and wishing them a happy retirement.
•First day of school in the Niagara-Wheatfield Central School District will be Wednesday, Sept. 5.

Williamstown Independent Schools received a $1,000 grant form the Cinergy Foundation. The foundation has awarded $102,650 in grant money to several Kentucky organizations. The grant, written by Superintendent Cliff Wallace will be used to bring a motivational speaker, Zach Clemmons, to work with students.
In a fit of gratitude, I made a list of the things I loved about my life the other day. I managed eight solid things, none were frivolous and one prompted the whole exercise: I love warm February days. This beautiful February day set into motion a productive weekend. It felt so good to get some good old-fashioned garden clean up done with my husband by my side and the sheep grazing freely about. It makes you feel optimistic about the rest of your life.
Welcome to a new Another Place In Time photo. Do you know any of the people featured in the photo? If so, call your guesses into the Grant County News at 859-824-3343. See next week's News for their identity.
If you've got an old photo, you'd like to see featured in the News, bring it to the News office. Photos can be scanned and returned in the same visit.
Perhaps this can be a reminder of the payoff of "putting up" the garden in spring, summer and fall: we have extended our homegrown eating pleasure into the winter months with some basic preservation methods. If you froze, dried, canned or otherwise preserved fresh fruits and vegetables in 2012 do not forget about them (or horde them for some unreasonable time.)

Air National Guard Airman 1st Class Mark C. Zordel has graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Zordel studied Air Force missions and special training in human relations. Zordel is the son of Dorothy F. Zordel of Lincoln Neb. and Vernon R. Zordel of Williamstown.
In a time when we all seek advice from experts, it is not only important to know what plants you have, but also to understand the nomenclature of symptoms caused by insect and disease problems. "I've got this thing on my wacha-ma-call-it" won't get you very far with a Google search or in person. We need to know how to describe the "things" that we find on our plant material so a proper diagnosis and treatment can follow.

Panda, Penguin and other Google updates are part of search marketing. The frequency of updates has continued to garner attention over the last 6 months.
The only sure thing; it's likely to continue as Google stays its course in refining standards for quality content.
And in a post-Panda and Penguin world, smarter more meaningful link building is not only recommended but a requirement.
Understanding this is only the tip of the iceberg. What lies below the surface is the real opportunity and from SES Chicago, here's what you should be thinking about.
7 Link Building Philosophies to create value and remain Penguin-friendly. Shared with the audience by Jon Ball of PageOnePower.
1. In a World without Google
Imagine if Google didn't exist, where would you spend link building efforts? What would you do and not do?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 3, 2007) - For the past month and a half the ETSU softball team have put together fundraising efforts to help support the Bluffton University baseball team and the families who lost loved ones from the March 2 bus crash by selling wristbands and T-Shirts at every home game as well as at a handful of road contests. This Friday, the Softball Bucs will make a special trip to
"It will be exciting to go watch them play; however, afterwards it will be emotional to talk with the players and reflect on what has been happening since the crash," stated head ETSU softball coach Andrea Mangrum.
The fundraiser began when members of the ETSU softball program had the opportunity to meet and console some of the Bluffton players and their families after the accident occurred. The Bucs saw the story break across the television screen while they were eating breakfast in a Georgia hotel, preparing for their first game of the Buzz Classic in Woodstock, Ga. (near Atlanta). After following the news story closely, the girls wanted to do something that would help the Bluffton team, and that is when they approached coach Mangrum to see what could be done.
"The idea began as a few girls went to coach to see if there was anything they could do for Bluffton baseball team since they were so close, and once the rest the girls heard about helping out everyone joined efforts to make all this successful," said sophomore Kate Powell. Everyone is pleased with the efforts the ETSU softball team committed to, especially coach Mangrum.
"I am very proud of how hard the girls worked to achieve their goal of creating awareness and producing positive results in the fundraising efforts. This will inspire them for the rest of their lives."
From there, the team initiated its first step to help the cause as they created 1,000 purple wristbands that said "Bluffton Boys" and "Atlanta Bus Crash." The purpose of the bracelets was to remind everyone of the bus accident that occurred the first Friday morning in March. Along the wristbands, the softball team received white Bluffton Baseball T-Shirts that the girls sold to help make money as well.
The team worked hard all season to help raise money, and as of Thursday the Bucs generated around $3,500 in donations, including a $1,000 gift and a charter bus trip to Lexington, from Greene Coach. After the game on Friday the girls will give the Bluffton Beavers all the money they have raised, along with the wristbands, T-Shirts, signs and care packages.
As a whole the Bucs are very happy with how the fundraising efforts have been going so far. "Everyone participating in athletics is considered family, and to be able to reach out and help makes you realize athletics is not all about competing in games," said freshman Dez Franklin.
"The help of Greene Coach is even more rewarding, because they did not have to do that; however, it shows how others want to help and we are thankful for them," added Powell. "By seeing the support of Greene Coach, we hope it will create more awareness to the public and community," said junior Mary Catherine Vercoe.
Along with the wristbands, the ETSU softball team has been honoring the "Bluffton Boys" during the season, by wearing purple ribbons and lettering purple B's on their helmets. The 2007 softball season will be one the team will never forget after experiencing what took place on March 2, as they realized the same thing could happen to them.
"This accident could have happened to anyone in collegiate athletics, and I know my team and staff will never forget this experience," said Mangrum. "Not only did they touch the lives, of at the time complete strangers, but the Bluffton team helped us keep things in perspective for our team. Our girls now realize sports are not all about the wins and losses, but it is about overcoming obstacles and learning from these types of examples."
After the Bucs head back from Kentucky on Friday they will have a few days to regroup and prepare for the 2007 Atlantic Sun Tournament presented by Coca-Cola, which will be held in DeLand, Fla. ETSU earned the number three seed, and will play fourth-seeded Lipscomb in the first round on Thursday, May 10. The game times have yet to be determined. ETSU was also granted permission by the conference to set up a table during next week's tournament to help continue raising money for the "Bluffton Boys".

EDIT: Note that this article was written in time when WordPress 3.9 came out, however, the updating process is still relevant.
WordPress 3.9 brings some radical changes in the admin dashboard so we had to release updates for all of our themes to fix the bugs we spotted.
Updated versions of the themes are already available for download in your ThemeForest account. The updated versions also work fine on WordPress 3.8.x, so you are safe to update even now.
we will explain here how to update your themes to the latest version. Updating process differs based on whether you have modified your theme files or not.
1.) I have modified theme files directly
Updating the theme will overwrite your changes and customizations will be lost (note that this does not affect your content/theme options etc, those are safe).
In order to avoid that, you will want to only update the framework folder of your theme with the one provided in the updated theme package (here we assume modifications were not done in the framework folder itself, which is a very rare case). This can be done using a FTP client to access the server you are hosting your theme on.
Note: before doing anything, create a backup of your theme folder
How to update your themes/plugins using FTP: http://newtricks.me/uploading-wordpr...ith-filezilla/
Once you are in your wp-content/themes directory, open the folder of the theme you are updating and find there a 'framework' folder, that's the folder you will be replacing. First, select and delete that folder from your server using FTP.
Once deleted, extract the 'framework' folder from the zip of the theme you freshly downloaded form ThemeForest, and then upload it in place of the old folder. Once completed, check your WordPress dashboard (admin) and make sure everything works and looks good.
2.) I have not modified theme files directly
Note: before doing anything, create a backup of your theme folder
Updating your theme if you haven't modified any of the theme files is a much more simple process.
First, go to your Appearance -> Themes menu in WordPress Dashboard, deactivate the current theme and delete it (don't worry, your Theme Options and data won't get lost in this process).
Once deleted, simply install the latest version of the theme using upload method on the zip file you downloaded from ThemeForest (make sure the zip file only contains the theme folder and not the docs and other stuff which can be found in the full zip package).
List of themes and the versions that support WordPress 3.9:
Theme Name: 20one
Version: 1.1.0
