1997, color feature, 88 minutes
Directed and written by Majid Majidi
Producer, Amir Esfandiari, Mohammad Esfandiari
In Persian with subtitles
All ages
This Iranian film centers on a brother and sister forced to share a pair of sneakers when the boy Ali (played beautifully by Amir Farrokh Hashemian) loses his sister Zahra's newly-repaired shoes. A meditation on Iranian daily life (including scenes at a mosque), scarcity vs. plenty, and family bonds, Children of Heaven is also a suspenseful yarn. Its PG rating, as near as I can figure, has to do with Ali's father yelling "shit!" when his bicycle breaks stop working and he and his son are about to crash. Also, he is verbally harsh with his family, particularly at the beginning, but it quickly becomes clear that he is honest and loving, if overworked. Engaging, stunning to look at, a glimpse at Iranian culture that has a realistic feel. I'm giving this the "girl power" label because Ali's sister Zahra, played by Bahare Seddiqi, washes the dishes, tends the baby, cleans the house, and gets her homework done—one could imagine such a girl growing up to be a world leader.

Looking for other Bishops
Hi, I am new to all this but totally hooked. My great great grandmother was Bertha Bishop. I have traced her back through familysearch.org to Sir Knight James Bishop, privy council of King James & King Charles. I have no idea how to verify or what to do now. Her father was Joseph Clifton Bishop born around 1800 in South Carolina. The family located mostly in Virginia. Thanks. Joy

Town officers were required to take an oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, according to a law passed March 10, 1787. Some of these officers had taken the oath, but had not signed (subscribed) the declaration to that fact. People were questioning whether the actions taken by these officers were legal and valid, so the legislature acted, saying that if the declarations were signed by July 31, all actions prior would be considered legal.

DOD - Customer Offer
Life Time Membership
Just £20! (Save £136!)
Simply add to basket and checkout. No discount code required.
You can pay by credit or debit card using either PayPal or WorldPay's fast
and secure online checkout.
A message from PoliceWitness:
PoliceWitness.com has a proven track record of holding those caught on dash cam to account. Over a thousand dangerous motorists have been held to account, receiving fines and points on their licences, compulsory re-training at their cost, through to disqualification and even a prison sentence.
Being a member of PoliceWitness means:
1) You are able to hold those who flout the law and put others in needless danger to account
2) You can use our online reporting portal to report dangerous motorists (no limits or restrictions)
3) There is no need to attend a police station
4) We review every video clip you submit, our aim to protect your interests, first and foremost
5) You receive cash in exchange for third parties to use your footage following a collision (average is around £200 per incident)
6) You have access to insurers who recognise that motorists who use dash cams are a lower risk and hence premiums are lower
7) We fight your corner in the event you are involved in an accident, our aim to safe guard your premium, your no claims discount and your excess
8) You have access to our unique 'Trade In' scheme – should you wish to upgrade your dash cam at any time, we provide you with discounted wholesale prices, not retail. And the best part, when we say trade in…you actually get to keep your existing dash cam too!
9) You are enrolled in the PoliceWitness Recognition Scheme, where major retailers, restaurants and holiday firms recognise our members for helping the police deal with reckless drivers and rewards them. An example being Vue cinemas, who provide PoliceWitness members with 40% off their tickets! When was the last time you bought a cinema ticket for just £6.00? (Our membership discounts are designed to more than cover the cost of joining us, meaning cost is never a barrier)
A question we are often asked is….why do we charge a membership fee?
PoliceWitness is in the main a philanthropic organisation funded by its founders. We are not funded by government, nor do we receive any kind of grant or support. There are obvious costs to providing the service we do, our aim is to simply cover these costs. That said, we don't want our members to be out of pocket either, hence our Recognition Scheme, our Insurance Representation Service and our cash back initiatives. The aim to more than cover the cost of membership with discounts, savings and lump sum payments.
So why not get involved today…and do more with your dash cam footage. Help us keep our roads and communities safer, by holding those who flout the law to account.
Please take advantage of the DOD customer offer and we look forward to welcoming you to our unique family.

By Matthew Heimer
Between their own job and retirement security, the travails of their post-collegiate kids, and their responsibilities for aging parents, people in their 50s and 60s have arguably faced the longest list of financial worries during the economic turmoil of the last five-plus years. This week, Catherine Rampell of the New York Times offers an overview of recent research that confirms that those worries are based in a harsh reality. Indeed, not only has the recent downturn had a more severe effect on the income of boomers than on any other age group—it also may be taking years off their lives.
On the income front, Rampell draws on a study by Sentier Research that shows that households headed by people ages 55 to 64 saw the biggest decline in average income—9.7%–between June 2009 (when the recession technically ended) and June 2012. (The national average income drop was 7.2%.) Jobless rates in that age group are low, Rampell notes, but those who do lose their jobs tend to stay unemployed for much longer—and to struggle to match their former income levels when they do find new work.
The financial implications are only the beginning, however. Rampell also cites a study by economists at Wellesley College that looked at the impact of recent recessions on the health of older workers. Their conclusion, as summarized by Rampell: "People who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming eligible for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy, largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care."
It's all sobering information, to say the least. MarketWatch's Andrea Coombes offers a partial antidote today in a column that discusses what investors can do to prepare themselves for the possibility of an earlier-than-desired retirement.

This Positive Life: In the Midwestern U.S., Forming a New Life
August 14, 2012
Though it happened 26 years ago, Tommy Chesbro remembers his HIV diagnosis -- and the circumstances that led to it -- like it was yesterday. In 1986, a positive HIV test meant something fundamentally different than it does today: It meant, in short, that it was time to start planning for death. So Tommy got ready.
Only, he didn't die.
Thanks to the support he received, a good dose of luck, and his ability to educate himself about HIV and empower himself to take charge of his health, Tommy is now able to look back from the standpoint of a long-term HIV survivor who fights for the rights of others with HIV and helps them work through the difficult issues he himself once had to grapple with.
In this video interview, this Oklahoma resident and U.S. Midwest native recalls the moments leading up to his diagnosis and explains how he came to terms with HIV, disclosed to his parents and began publicly speaking about HIV in the heavily stigmatized U.S. heartland. As a son of two mixed-race parents, Tommy also talks about how his part-Native American, part-African American, part-Caucasian heritage played a critical role in his upbringing and his life.
Welcome to This Positive Life. Tommy, it's wonderful to have you here.
Thanks for asking me.
You're very welcome. Please introduce yourself and tell us where you're from and what you do.
My name is Tommy Chesbro, and I'm from Tulsa, Okla. Currently, I'm working for myself. I started a consulting company, Chesbro Consulting, LLC. I guess we have to put those initials behind it. I filed the paperwork with the state of Oklahoma to become a licensed company there.
In the past, I've worked for Planned Parenthood, for Indian Health Care, for the [Oklahoma] State Department of Health, and for the Oklahoma State University Student Health Center. So I've had a lot of jobs, and in all of those jobs, I was working in HIV and AIDS.
Can you describe how you found out that you were HIV positive?
I found out in the summer of 1986. Looking back, I know that I was actually infected in the fall of 1985, because of the retroviral syndrome that I had at the time, though it was not recognized at the time as that. They thought I just had the flu or something.
When I got infected, I was living with a partner. We had been together about a year, almost a year and a half. He actually had retroviral syndrome about three weeks before I did. There's never been any blame or anything related to that. I don't know who infected who. But at the time, we didn't know what was going on.
Then that following summer, I was working on a master's degree in performing arts and musical theater. And I was doing summer stock theater in Wichita, Kan. One of the young men who was in our cast -- his name was George -- he was an African-American young man from Houston, Texas. He had had a cough and hadn't been feeling well.
One day after rehearsal, he collapsed at the top of the stairs in front of the dressing room. They rushed him off to the hospital. The next morning, they called a staff meeting and let us know that George had been diagnosed with AIDS.
Well, it scared a lot of us in the cast. George went into the hospital on a Tuesday. On Friday morning he had a bronchoscopy done to see what kind of pneumonia he had, which turned out to be PCP [a.k.a. pneumocystis pneumonia]. But he died during the procedure.
As far as I knew -- I didn't even know I was infected at the time -- he was the first person I'd ever known with AIDS.
I decided to get tested. One of the other cast members, a former Miss Oklahoma who I had known, her husband was a doctor there in Wichita; he offered to do the test. He was used to getting a result back by phone when someone tested positive, before he ever got the paperwork back from the lab. He knew I was anxious. After several days, he had not received the phone call. And he told me, more or less, that he was pretty sure everything was fine, and I wasn't infected.
Well, I was excited about that. It was a big relief. I knew from that point on I would learn about this disease, and try to make sure that I would not become infected.
Then a couple of days later, I got a phone call. I was actually living that summer with two other guys and a girl that were all part of the cast. I answered the phone. It was my doctor. He explained to me that he had made a mistake, that he shouldn't have went ahead and told me, because he hadn't gotten the paperwork back. I was infected.
Some of my roommates were home. I didn't know how to talk on the phone, because I didn't want them to know. I didn't know how they would respond. I let him know that I would come straight down to his office.
Well, one of my roommates I trusted enough to tell. He actually went with me down to the doctor's office. But I went in to talk to the doctor on my own. I think we probably had about an hour-long conversation, but I don't remember a word from that conversation.
And that's how I found out.
What were you thinking? And how were you feeling at that point, considering that you had just seen someone die quite quickly?
I finished that summer there. But I had basically thought that my life was over. I immediately called my partner -- former partner; we had broken up by this time -- to let him know that I had tested positive. He broke down in tears and we were both crying. Because of all the stigma and stuff associated with the disease, it took him several years before he went and got a test and found out that he was infected, too.
I had six hours left on my master's program. I tried to go back to school that fall and finish that up, but I just, psychologically, couldn't handle it. I dropped out of school and moved home, back to Stillwater, Okla., where I grew up, and basically mentally was just preparing to die.

Craig Matthew Atkison, 26, of Yreka, was arrested Tuesday for indecent exposure.
The Yreka Police Department received a call at approximately 8 a.m. regarding a male exposing himself at the Church of the Nazarene across the street from Evergreen Elementary School.
Sgt. Ray Boutin said he responded to the scene and was provided a description of the suspect from the female victim, which was subsequently broadcasted over the radio.
Assistant Sheriff Jim Betts said he overheard the broadcast and identified a male matching the description just down the street from the school. By then, the suspect had put on clothes, he said.
"As soon as Atkison saw the sheriff department vehicles, he threw a bag and ran," Boutin said.
According to Boutin, sheriff deputies had to utilize their vehicles to cut off and apprehend Atkison on the 700 block of South Main Street where they detained him until the police could arrive on scene.
The female victim positively identified Atkison as the suspect. He was arrested and booked into Siskiyou County Jail, said Police Chief Brain Bowles.
Stolen property was recovered on Atkison's person, and he was booked for indecent exposure in addition to resisting arrest, possession of stolen property and being in violation of his postrelease community supervision.
Boutin said the bag thrown during the chase contained a considerable amount of marijuana, and additional charges for possession and transportation of a controlled substance will be filed.
"It's another good example of the close coordination with the Yreka Police Department and the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office," Bowles said. "We really couldn't do this job alone, either one of our agencies. We help them, and they help us on a day-to-day basis."

Howie Rhee necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 248 diseños de 43 diseñadores freelance.
Duke Start-Up Challenge, http://www.dukestartupchallenge.org
The Duke Start-Up Challenge is the premiere entrepreneurship competition at Duke University. We're entering our 11th year of operation. The goal is to get as many Duke students to try starting a company while they are still students (last year we had 109 teams). We market heavily across the university, but our current logo is not very good.
- We need an eye-catching logo.
- Pantone 301 is "Duke blue" but an accent color would be good.
- Pitchforks and devils are welcome, but not required.
- We have used orange as an accent color, but that's not required, although there's something decent about having an accent color because most things at the University are blue.
Primary Audience1) Duke University students (about 12,000)
Secondary Audiences
2) Other folks at Duke including faculty and staff, as well as alumni
3) People from the entrepreneurial community outside of Duke
How do we reach our students?
- We do a lot of postering/flyering.
- We put the logo on t-shirts. Blue t-shirts with white logos are very common (and we'd probably want to be able to do that with this logo too).
- We send a lot of web-based emails that include the logo.
1) Eye-catching and cool.
2) Says "Duke Start-Up Challenge"
3) "Start-Up Challenge" has to be as prominent as "Duke"
4) EPS file (vector)
Not required but could be cool
1) Maybe uses orange (or another accent color)
2) Maybe includes some sort of reference to Blue Devils (pitchforks, horns)
3) Maybe uses some variation of the "On" button that was in the original logo
4) Maybe uses an "up arrow"
5) Maybe someone in a business suit
6) Maybe a lightbulb

Unique Design UK needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Capital Sanctuaries Ltd
We work for Credit Card Killer. We have a totally unique financial product / offering. We help our clients to be debt free in just 14 days. We do this by buying their, UK based unsecured, debts from them (credit cards, loans and overdrafts mainly) using contract law. No need for lawyers or court decisions. Our clients are the legal owners of their debts and as they own them they can sell them. Its a simple process no if's, but's or maybe's we either buy the debt or we don't.
We are master agents for a company called 'Credit Card Killer' (see http://www.creditcardkiller.co.uk). Our role is to introduce clients to Credit Card Killer / their products and to recruit a nationwide team of agents to expand their business.
Our stationery / imagery will be used for all internal communications with our agents and our clients.
It will also be used in our agent recruitment campaigns. Our recruitment targets for sales agents are professional sales people, financial advisors, accountants and our existing clients.
Our prospective clients are - anyone with unsecured debts - e.g. most people. Todate we have primarily targeted small business owners and as we can now buy company / commercial debt this will continue to be a primary target.
Credit Card Killer currently have the monopoly on 'debt purchase' being the only company offering this service at present. Our major competitors are solicitors / companies introducing to solicitors operating in the 'Financial Claims Management' (FCM) industry.
Stationery to be used in all print (business cards, letterheads, compliment slips, ect) and digial media (emails and newsletters).
Our biggest obstacle is that our service 'sounds too good to be true'. We need to convey an image that will inspire trust and confidence in our services. (n.b. our service is proven to work)
Our competitors are the legal profession offering 'no win no fee' Financial Claims Management services.

Standing on the podium after winning today's Stage 5 of the Tour de France, Briton Mark Cavendish burst into tears.
The HTC-Columbia sprinter didn't stop until race leader Fabian Cancellera mercifully interrupted Cavendish's post-race interview with French television.
"I think for him it's the prettiest victory of his career," Cancellara said as Cavendish quickly left the set. "It's a pretty thing for the sport."
For Cavendish, who edged out rivals on the sprint finish into Montargis, this emotional release was a long time coming.
Sidelined by health, poor judgment
The Isle of Man native, known as much for his brash personality as his on-bike talent, won six stages in last year's Tour de France and had high expectations for the 2010 cycling season. But complications from voluntary dental surgery kept him out of action until mid-February.
When Cavendish finally returned to form in April, he was sidelined again – suspended by his team after he made an obscene gesture on the finish line of the Tour of Romandie's second stage.
"I apologize to everybody watching the race," Cavendish said in an April press release.
Though the first stages of the Tour de France were supposed to be redemptive for the 25-year old, they were anything but that.
Cavendish, who rides for Team HTC-Columbia, crashed in Brussels on the final sprint of Stage 1. Yesterday, he relinquished the win to veteran Italian Alessandro Petacchi.
"I let the guys down last night," Cavendish admitted to reporters after today's stage.
Searing heat, ruthless pack
With the pressure mounting, he delivered on Thursday's 116.5-mile trip from Épernay to Montargis, one of the final stages for sprinters before the Tour reaches the Alps Saturday.
Suffering through searing heat, the racers crossed over the Seine river – a brief reminder of the July 25 finish in Paris – and cut through vast farms in the Loire Valley.
A breakaway of three riders led most of the day, but as is customary in flat stages like these, they were reeled in by the rest of the pack.
As the peloton arrived on the outskirts of Montargis, a canal-laden town that dubs itself the Venice of the region, Team HTC-Columbia fought their way to the front.
In the last 100 meters, Cavendish pushed past rivals, including Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen, for the win.
Thrilled teammates
His teammates were thrilled after the race.
"He missed the chance yesterday and I'm just happy the monkey's off his back," Australian Mark Renshaw told the Monitor and other reporters at the finish line.
But perhaps the most elated member of Cavendish's team wasn't a racer, at least not anymore.
German Erik Zabel, a former sprint star who won 12 stages of the Tour de France in his career, has been working with Cavendish and HTC-Columbia since 2008.
When his protégé crossed the line victorious, Zabel ran out of the viewing area and stood on the road with his arms up in celebration.
Moments later Cavendish rolled towards him, gasping for air, and the two men embraced.
Overall standings after Stage 5:
- 1. Fabian Cancellara/Saxo Bank
- 2. Geraint Thomas/Sky
- 3. Cadel Evans/BMC
- 4. Ryder Hesjedal/Garmin
- 5. Sylvain Chavanel/Quick Step
- 6. Andy Schleck/Saxo
- 7. Thor Hushovd/Cervelo
- 8. Alexandre Vinokourov/Astana
- 9. Alberto Contador/Astana
- 10. Jurgen van den Broeck

The injury bug began biting the girls' soccer team at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy before the season even began, and it has remained firmly embedded in the Blue Devils squad ever since.
A 2-1 home field loss to Abington Friends School last Tuesday dropped the Devils' record to 0-4 on the season (all non-league bouts), and the team is probably justified in feeling that some of those games would've had different outcomes if a truly healthy line-up had been in place.
"It's just been a rough go," said sixth-year head coach Jerry Hartey. "We haven't had our complete projected starting 11 on the field one time."
It started with a summertime club soccer injury to sophomore star Megan McCool, who had already been one of the most dangerous scoring threats in the Inter-Ac League as a freshman last fall. With one foot booted due to a torn ligament, she won't return until sometime next month.
Junior Sinéad Brierley, a quick midfielder and a natural leader out on the pitch, has returned after missing several games with injury. Her classmate and fellow starter Kathleen Foley also had to sit out a few contests, and several seniors are currently playing hurt. Another 12th-grader, veteran mid Julia Schumacher, was out sick for last Tuesday's tilt with the AFS Kangaroos.
Abington was the early aggressor and put steady pressure on the SCH defense and goalie Madi Sehn, a senior out of Norwood Fontbonne Academy. Nine minutes in, a Kangaroo corner kick from the left set up a hard shot from right side, and Sehn was able to swat the ball wide of the far post for one of the more dramatic of her 14 saves on the day.
Brierley got loose on an attack for the Blue Devils, but she didn't have any support and was swarmed under by three AFS defenders. A number of times, SCH seemed about to pose a bona fide threat with its transition offense, but the Devils frequently fell victim to the offsides trap employed by the visitors, and these efforts ended with a whistle from the refs.
Abington got on the board a little over 10 minutes in, when Isabel McPeak scored on a straight-on shot from the middle of the field just inside the 18. The 'Roos' second goal, the which held up as the gamewinner, came with 10:35 remaining in the opening period. On a direct kick from about 25 yards out, Jennifer Sheppard fired a bullet, and although Sehn initially stopped the ball, she couldn't hold it, and it rolled on into the cage to make it a 2-0 game.
Springside Chestnut Hill was able to make the rest of the afternoon more interesting by trimming its deficit to a single point before halftime. In transition once more, a pass through the midfield by freshman Rebecca Saunders was gathered in by Brierley, who went into the box in line with the left post and scored on a well-timed shot.
At halftime, Coach Hartey related, "We talked about moving for each other better, communicating, and not just blindly kicking the ball. When you have a lot of young players, they get the ball on their feet and they want to get it up the field right away, while the more experienced girls know when they need to rush, or when they can take a couple dribbles and look at their options."
The play was more even in the second half, and while AFS still generated more offensive opportunities than the hosts, Sehn kept the cage sealed for the Blue Devils. Early in the period SCH sophomore Gabriella Sciarrotta carried the ball into the box from the left wing and got off a solid shot, but in the middle of the goal Kangaroos keeper Lizzie Bolger dropped to her knees to wrap up the ball.
Abington's McPeak came close to giving her team an insurance goal several times, but was foiled by Sehn, and at the other end, the Devils were unable to come up with the equalizer.
"Normally, you don't go into a game expecting to have six or seven freshmen on the field, but a lot of our returning players just can't go," SCH's Hartey said. "Even some of our older players have been shifted to unfamiliar positions because of the changes we've had to make. They're all doing a great job, but it's not going to be easy for us until we get a little bit healthier."

In the time when West Java was still thickly covered with woods and undergrowth and wonders existed, there reigned a king, named Raden Sungging Pebangkara. He was a good ruler and to convince himself of the welfare of his subjects, he used to visit them. But the thing he liked most was hunting in the forest.
It happened that in one of the forests the king often visited there lived a she-pig, actually a cursed goddess. One day, as it was very warm, she came out of her hiding place looking for water. There she saw a coconut-shell, filled with water. Glad to have found something and expecting it to be coconut-milk, she drank it at a draught, having no suspicions whatsoever that it was the King's urine left there the day before when hunting. The consequence was very strange. She became pregnant. In a few months she gave birth to a very pretty girl. When the king was once again hunting in the forest, he saw the girl and, attracted by her beauty, he took her to his palace, called her Dayang Sumbi and treated her as his own daughter.
Time passed and Dayang Sumbi grew up into a fine young girl. She was fond of weaving and thus passed her time. One bright morning, as she was absorbed in weaving, her weaving-spool suddenly got loose. Before she could prevent it, it flew out of the window to the field below. It was out of her reach, as her room was about three stories high. Furthermore she was very tired and had no wish to descend the stairs to fetch the spool. Quite at ease, she mumbled: "Whoever is willing to help me pick up the spool, I'll treat as my sister, if she is a girl. If he is a man, I'll take him as my husband." These words were overheard by a dog, called Tumang, who happened to come along. He immediately picked up the spool and brought it to Dayang Sumbi. Tumang was in fact a cursed god too, like the she-pig. Seeing the dog with the spool in his mouth, Dayang Sumbi fainted. The gods had decided her for her to undergo the same fate as her mother, the she-pig. She too become pregnant and a short time afterwards she gave birth to a strong healthy son, whom she called Sangkuriang.
Sangkuriang became a handsome young man, as time went by. Like his grandfather, he was fond of hunting in the forest and Tumang was his faithful friend when roaming the woods. He loved this creature very much; having no idea at all that it was his own father. One day while hunting, they came across a fat pig. Sangkuriang strung his bow and z-z-z-z-z-z-z! the arrow hissed towards the she-pig, and hit but did not kill her. Wounded, she vanished into the undergrowth.
"Come on, Tumang, run after her!" Sangkuriang shouted, eager to taste the pork. Tumang, however, did not move. Whatever Sangkuriang said to urge Tumang to pursue the pig, it left him unmoved. Sangkuriang lost his self control. In his anger he killed Tumang, cut up his flesh and took it home to his mother. She prepared a tasty dish of it and after the meal she asked:
"Sangkuriang, what kind of flesh is this? It is delicious!"
"This is Tumang's, mother," Sangkuriang responded. "I killed him, as he did not obey my command to pursue a fat pig." For one moment Dayang Sumbi was speechless. Then in rage she took a spool and flung it at him. It struck his forehead and blood dropped out of the wound. This left later on a scar on the spot. Then Dayang Sumbi sent him away.
Deeply grieved, Sangkuriang left and wandered through the woods. He walked for years. Finally he returned to his native place, but did not recognize it any longer. There he stood, looking around him, all alone, musing about the past. At the end of a vast rice-field, which stretched in front of him, he noticed a house on stilts. Looking closely, he saw a young girl sitting at her weaving-loom. He approached her and, charmed by her beauty, he immediately proposed to her, unaware that she was his own mother. The girl looked at him and, noticing his good looks, she promised to marry him. For some time they loved each other tenderly, making plans for their wedding day, but one day she discovered the scar on his forehead.
"That wound!" she whispered, and at the moment she realized that he was no other than her own son who had come back to his village. After being left by Sangkuriang, Dayang Sumbi had been given eternal beauty by the gods, which was why she looked so young and Sangkuriang did not recognize her as his mother. She made efforts to make him understand that a marriage between them was impossible and withdrew her promise to marry him. But Sangkuriang refused to accept the truth and was determined to get his own way. Dayang Sumbi was very sad, as she was ashamed to reveal her secret.
"What is to be done?" she pondered. She had an idea and said to him: "All right then, you shall marry me only on condition that you fulfill a wish of mine. Dam up the Citarum River and build a big vessel, which we shall use after being married. But you have only one night to complete the work." Sangkuriang agreed and started to work. Only at daybreak did he approach the end, in spite of his magic powers and his prayers to the gods for help. Noticing this, Dayang Sumbi got alarmed and hit upon another plan to prevent the marriage. She stretched the red woven veil which covered her head over the eastern side of the plain. Through her magic powers, red light spread over the landscape, giving the impression that the sun was rising, which meant that time was up for Sangkuriang. He was astonished.
"In vain!" he shouted in despair and at the same time, filled with rage; he kicked the vessel, which was almost finished, upside-down. Then he made for the south, for the Indian Ocean. He had not gone very far when the water of the lake rose and overflowed its banks, dragging everything in its way. Sangkuriang himself had no chance of escape and with all his workers he was driven away. Sometime later the lake dried up. The mountain of Tangkuban Prahu on the northern side of Bandung is thought to be the overturned vessel of Sangkuriang. In time it became covered with trees and the lake became the present fertile rice-fields around Bandung area, every year yielding great benefits for all the people.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating a high-speed crash that took place this weekend between a Golden Gate ferry and a 22-foot motorboat, authorities said.
Investigators were trying to determine who was at fault in the crash that took place about 4 p.m. Saturday on San Francisco Bay that hospitalized two people, Coast Guard Lt. Mark Leahey said.
Golden Gate Transit spokeswoman Mary Currie said the motorboat was traveling at high speed when it collided with the MS San Francisco, which was about 10 minutes into its 30-minute trip from Sausalito to the Ferry Building in San Francisco.
The ferry was taken out of service so an investigation could take place, then put back in service on Sunday, Currie said.
All five crew members aboard will be drug tested and placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation -- a standard move in such incidents, Currie said.

sublime, Tenderfoot is a wonderful source and I would urge you to take her advice. I really agree with her comment about keeping the dog tied to you at all times even in the house. This method helps with house training and correction of bad behaviours. You never need to chase down a bad puppy this way. Glad you are seeing some improvements, I agree, a bit more time may be in order.
We are going to the vet tomorrow morning.
I have noticed now, after we have been working with him extensively, that 95% of the bad behavior is only exhibited when I am around. Especially when he has had alone time with me. What should my corrective actions be when he growls at the girls in my presence?
I agree, keeping him tied to us is helping. I should give Tenderfoot a call maybe to get more detailed advice.
Honestly I would be surprised if this is a health issue. It seems to be circumstantial.
You need to put a bubble of respect around the children. Through the dog's respect for you he needs to respect the kids. By putting a bubble of respect around the kids you are keeping the kids safe and helping the dog feel safe. You are taking charge.
As the dog becomes more comfortable around the children, then you can make the bubble smaller as the dog starts to calm down. Right now that bubble should be at least a few feet from the children.
If the dog growls at the kids in your presence (and the dog should only be with the kids if you are present), then you give a firm "no", use your leash to remove him from the kids and the area in general. He is not permitted to claim the space or aggress towards the children. You claim both the space and the kids. Let him know with your energy, eyes and attitude that you are not happy. You might even have to shuffle towards him as you back him out of the area.
But then you have to recreate the situation until he learns to remain calm in their presence. Don't push his comfort level too far or he will get snarky again. Stay at sub-threshold with the kids. Do not expect him to get too close at first. You just want him to feel comfortable within a reasonable range of the children. Let him stay there, pet him, reward him and wait until he takes a deep breath. Signs of acceptance and relaxation are sighing, sitting voluntarily, or laying down voluntarily. When he is relaxed let him know that is the answer with your warm tone, soft touch and relaxed smile. This is a good time to end this session.
This is a system of pressure and release. Pressure for the wrong choice and release the pressure & reward for the good choice. Dogs understand this naturally as it is how they communicate with each other. Though the truth is dogs don't really reward each other - they don't go out and grab a mouse to hand to the other dog. The simple release of pressure and returning to good times is sufficient. The key is to always end on a positive note. A common mistake is the dog makes a bad choice, the person corrects the bad choice and they quit, and the dog never learns what the acceptable choice is. They end on failure. In this case success is no growling or snapping, and a relaxed, calm attitude.
Love Them & Lead Them,
~Elizabeth & Doug
Dog Training the Way Nature Intended
Thank you for the information. I will try this and be diligent.
I just thought I should update this thread with results.
It appears that we have been able to get this dog to understand that people and kids are okay. He loves our kids now and only barks when he doesn't know who is there. When he sees them he becomes happy.
He seems to just be overly protective of the house in general. When he thinks he hears something at the door he barks or growls. We have gotten him to shush up quickly though and if we tell him its okay, he generally quits immediately. What we haven't been able to do is get him to stop barking all together. There are some neighbor dogs that bark so he joins in. I try to catch him and bring him inside as soon as he starts to minimize the behavior.
As for aggressiveness in general, he is not. He is just protective. He doesn't bite and doesn't mind kids. He doesn't like people to come to him, he wants to come them first to check them out, then he is fine. I feel safe with him and our children.
What we did to correct any behavior is not very cut and dry. We did a lot of socialization in many different settings. We also made it clear that the children were more important that him and that it was unacceptable to growl at them. He still growls at dumb times sometimes but we realized that there is nothing to it really. It is like it is an instinctive growl and then he comes to his senses when he sees them and wants to play.
Hope this helps someone else make decisions.

Buddy Bolden is generally considered to be the first bandleader to play the improvised music which later became know as Jazz. He was the first "King" of cornet in New Orleans, and is remembered by the musicians of that time period as one of the finest horn players they had ever heard. He is remembered for his loud, clear tone. His band starting playing around 1895, in New Orleans parades and dances, and eventually rose to become one of the most popular bands in the city. In 1907 his health deteriorated and he was committed to a mental institution where he spent the remainder of his life. Trombonist Frankie Dusen took over the Bolden Band and renamed it the Eagle Band and they continued to be very popular in New Orleans until around 1917. Bolden made no recordings, but was immortalized in the Jazz standard "Buddy Bolden's Blues" (I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say) which is based on Bolden's theme song "Funky Butt". Several early Jazz musicians, like Sidney Bechet (as a child musician) and Bunk Johnson, apparently played in Bolden's bands occasionally.

The logo needs to represent Africa as a destination, both in terms of its wildlife and areas of interest. My internet business will focus primarily on National Parks and Game Reserves of Eastern and Southern Africa. Therefore the design should immediately be associated with ideas of travel, nature and escape!
For some reason, when I see the logo I have the opening scene's image of the Lion King movie in mind...with the sunrise over the African plains...don't know if this rings bells?!!!
My name is Michael Theys and I've had the chance to travel and live across the African continent for almost 24 years! In other words I am a huge fan of African people, its various cultures and mostly its incredible wildlife. My idea is to start a business that would promote Eastern and Southern Africa in terms of its safari destinations!
The logo would thus have to illustrate just that. It needs to be highly representative of what I am willing to promote! It may include images of African wild animals, landscapes, sunsets, Baobab trees or acacias (symbols of the continent)...up to you! The logo could also play around the two words of my website (Africa and Freak)! I am very open to almost anything...let your creative minds do the trick!!! :)
- Size: Header logo = 329*89; Footer logo = 233*63
- The logo may include the entire website URL (http://www.africafreak.com), but this is not a must!
- Just the name Africafreak should do the trick!
- Images, scenery...real photos or comic images...needs to look professional though! Modern, original, recognizable...
- Informational driven!
- Header background? Don't know if this can be part of the deal...
- Vector graphics output.
- Must include a red/orange ochre touch in terms of the color scheme. Others: black, yellow...
- Not too fancy...the simpler the better! Simple and clean looking...
- Style: Africafreak with a capital letter; or africafreak!
- May include some kind of illustration between the Africa and the freak...a symbol, an image...
- IMPORTANT: Go to one-theme.com to have a feel of how my site will look like. Have a look at the black version of it! ;)
- No images of people.
- No overloading...simple and neat...straight to the point!
- Can't look too "cartoonish"!

Roth IRAs are a potent weapon retirees can use to minimize their taxes in retirement. According to new data from Fidelity Investments, they seem to be catching on.
Through Oct. 31, Roth conversion activity at Fidelity rose 12% over the same period last year. The conversion rate is more than double that of 2009. Because it oversees about 2 million investor accounts, Fidelity's reports on its accountholders activities are often seen as a good proxy for what's going on among retirement savers in general.
"We've seen monthly conversions regularly coming in higher than last year by 10% to 15%," says Ken Hevert, vice president of retirement products at Fidelity Investments. "We expect that trend to continue."
What's behind the rising numbers? One factor, according to Hevert, is simply a growing awareness on the part of investors about the ability to convert assets from a regular IRA to a Roth IRA. (Withdrawals from a regular IRA in retirement are generally taxed as income; withdrawals from a Roth IRA are not.)
Not everyone can contribute directly to a Roth IRA: For individuals whose modified adjusted gross income for 2013 is $127,000 or more, Roth contributions are off-limits. For couples who file joint tax returns, the cutoff is $188,000. (You can figure out your modified adjusted gross income using a work sheet on page 59 of Publication 590 at www.irs.gov.)
But thanks to a 2010 decision on the part of Uncle Sam to scrap income restrictions on Roth IRA conversions, anyone can convert – or transfer – money from a regular IRA to a Roth IRA. (Of course, when you do so, you must pay income tax on the money you move in the process.) As a result, higher income people have been using a "back door" method of funding Roth IRAs – and this is goosing Fidelity's conversion numbers.
The method: To contribute after-tax dollars to a traditional IRA and then immediately convert that money to a Roth. Assuming you convert before there is any appreciation in the account, you won't owe any income tax on the conversion.
Still, there is a big caveat: While this strategy works well for customers who don't have any pre-existing IRA assets, those with traditional IRAs will be required to pay some tax on the conversion. The reason, as I explained a while back for The Wall Street Journal:
Under the "pro rata" rule, you can't convert only your nondeductible contributions.
To estimate your potential tax bill, first calculate your "basis." Expressed as a percentage, this is the ratio of two numbers: the after-tax contributions you have made to your IRAs, and the total balance in all your IRAs. For example, if you contributed $40,000 after tax to your IRAs and have a total of $250,000 in those accounts, your basis would be 16% (or $40,000 divided by $250,000). So, if you plan to convert $100,000 to a Roth, 16% of that $100,000 (or $16,000) could be transferred tax-free.
Interested in using a Roth IRA to minimize your taxes in retirement? Baylor University professor William Reichenstein has a lot to say on the topic. For an overview of a strategy he recommends, see this Wall Street Journal article and an accompanying video about managing taxes in retirement.
Fidelity also offers a lot of resources for those interested in Roth IRA conversions and strategies for tax-efficient investing. See:

ARCADIA >> Aidan O'Brien knows a little bit about racing in the $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf. He has won the race four times as a trainer.
So, he was admittedly a little bit reluctant to run Magician in the race on Saturday afternoon at Santa Anita.
"It was their idea to come here," he said of owners Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith. "But he was a very impressive winner."
The Irish horse rallied to win the 1 1/2-mile race with The Fugue, who also races in England, second and Argentine Indy Point in third.
Magician had not run since the Ascot in June when he finished ninth. His last win was on My 25 in Ireland. He came from the outside on a final to pass early leader Teaks North.
It was Ryan Moore's second win in the Breeders' Cup. He won the Filly and Mare Turf.
"He had him in a lovely rhythm and he got him relaxed and balanced," O'Brien said.

Pet of the Week: Amber
Do your dreams include a corncob pipe, a straw hat and a porch dog? Well, country Ma or Pa, we have the dog to fill in the porch-dog portion of your dream! Her name is Amber and R-E-L-A-X-E-D doesn't begin to describe the unperturbed posture of this sprawled-out pup. She does move! Her soulful brown eyes reach out to you and say, "Take me home to your cabin in the woods!" Amber was dumped with her mother, and she and her brother, Allen, are now three and a half months old. Amber weighs 14.2 pounds, is tan in color and she has those soulful brown eyes. Amber would make an excellent family dog. With proper training, Amber is likely to adapt well to a family routine since she is so young. She will need a large fenced yard, and don't forget the porch because after all, Amber is a porch dog.
The adoption fee is $115 for mixed breed dogs over 20 pounds, and $175 for pure breeds and dogs under 20 pounds. Pure breeds under 20 pounds are $225. This includes first round of vaccinations, bordetella vaccination, worming, flea treatment, spay or neutering and a veterinary wellness exam. All animals will be spayed or neutered before going to their new home. Adoption is a 15-year commitment. Please adopt responsibly.

Maxwell ultracapacitors provide energy storage and peak power solutions in applications where batteries alone cannot do the complete job. Unlike batteries, these high-tech devices are capable of charging and discharging at identical rates. Moreover, they are so reliable that they are typically specified for up to 1,000,000 charge/discharge cycles even in the most extreme environments, with a lifespan of up to 15 years. This means that ultracapacitors have extremely low maintenance costs. These attributes together make ultracapacitors the ideal choice for many of today's energy storage, power back-up and pulse-power applications.They can capture and store braking energy in trains, trams, and hybrid automobiles. They can deliver peak power for drive systems and actuators in a variety of vehicles and assure round-the-clock power availability for wind turbine pitch systems. Ultracapacitors back-up and augment primary energy sources for wireless network equipment and smooth energy throughput from renewable energy storage systems (as in solar energy applications). They can efficiently supply energy during peak power demand conditions for power generators, reducing strain on the primary power source.

Local effort to bulk up biotech gains traction
Hartford - A bill aimed at preventing a "brain drain" in southeastern Connecticut drew strong support Tuesday from a contingent of local scientists, politicians and business people, but opposition from the commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development could doom the legislation if it reaches the House floor.
Commissioner Catherine Smith did not appear Tuesday at the four-hour public hearing by the General Assembly's Commerce Committee, but part of her testimony was read during the meeting. She urged the committee to reject the bill, which was supported by the entire southeastern Connecticut delegation, saying it could dilute support for an initiative by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to invest $200 million over the next decade to spur bioscience companies throughout the state. (Editor's note: This corrects the amount reported in an earlier version.)
"It is my fear that (the bill) will only fracture a worthy piece of legislation before it has a chance to be implemented," Smith said in written testimony.
The bill would require DECD to develop a plan to aid emerging biotech and pharmaceutical firms in the region after a series of downsizings at Pfizer Inc. Proponents said they see the legislation as a complement to Malloy's initiative, bringing attention to an area of the state that long has been ignored by the agency.
"I believe it will help stop the brain drain that is going on in my community," said Jean Schaefer of Niantic, a former Pfizer scientist who organized an entrepreneurial network in the region.
"Southeastern Connecticut just has tremendous assets, whether it's physical or mental," added state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford.
While some of Malloy's proposals will require that the state build facilities and programs largely from scratch, state Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, said, southeastern Connecticut already has empty buildings at Pfizer and a trained workforce in place, ready to go.
"I truly feel we have an opportunity in southeastern Connecticut to capitalize on the assets (already here)," she said.
"We need the plan, and we need to do this quickly," added City of Groton Mayor Marian Galbraith.
Tuesday's hearing comes on the heels of the revelation by Malloy during an interview with The Day Monday that the state is working on a deal that would involve the University of Connecticut at Avery Point using space on the Pfizer campus off Eastern Point Road in Groton. That is the company's largest research-and-development presence worldwide.
Galbraith added during the hearing that the state also is negotiating with a major developer who would re-purpose more than 700,000 square feet of space at Pfizer's Building 118, the company's former R&D headquarters, which has been threatened with demolition if the pharmaceutical giant can't find a buyer.
While southeastern Connecticut has a plethora of talent and plenty of physical space to house bioscience companies, what it lacks is any sort of infrastructure that connects scientists to a community of bioscience professionals, said Nancy Motola of Waterford, who owns a consulting firm and is an officer with New Haven Pharmaceuticals.
"I really think attention needs to be paid to southeastern Connecticut?to create an infrastructure that can interact with other parts of the state," she said.
Betsy Stevenson of Stonington, founder of Raymond Stevenson Healthcare Communications, said southeastern Connecticut is home to a large number of scientists who shepherded major medicines from early stages through approval by U.S. and European regulatory authorities. But many are now being forced to look for work elsewhere, she said.
Jim O'Malley of Waterford, founder of the New London biotech firm Myometrics LLC, recounted his struggles with the lack of responsiveness of state agencies, including DECD and Connecticut Innovations, saying he was on the verge of leaving the state before finally winning $100,000 in funding through the Small Business Express program.
He told legislators that Malloy's First Five program - intended to spur job growth statewide - should be used to funnel money to the SouthEastern Connecticut Enterprise Region development agency as a way of boosting an area of the state that consistently has lagged behind in economic growth.
"Ten million dollars could keep 100 companies here," O'Malley said.
Legislators from other parts of the state initially were skeptical about singling out southeastern Connecticut for special consideration. But after hearing testimony about scientists having to move out of state to find work and about the lack of responsiveness of state agencies to the region's needs, some of them changed their tunes.
"Administrative neglect is very concerning to this committee," state Sen. Ed Meyer, D-Guilford, said.
"We're going to make sure you're on the state's radar," added state Rep. Chris Perone, D-Norwalk, co-chairman of the committee.
The bill is expected to be referred to the House floor by legislative leaders Thursday, but lawmakers said privately that the DECD's opposition - plus the possible large price tag for a major study - could lead to tough sledding during a legislative session in which budget belt-tightening is a priority.

While it was reported recently that nearly one-fourth of those who signed up for Obamacare have had issues with information given to health officials, consider the plight of a Chicago woman who couldn't even get the ball rolling to get coverage despite numerous attempts.
Mary Ruth Clarke, a screenwriter and playwright whose credits include the 2000 hit "Meet The Parents," says the problem boils down to a simple issue: her name. Solving it, however, apparently is not so simple.
The trouble is Clarke has a double first name. The combination of "Mary" and "Ruth" is considered her first name — Margaret is her middle name — and that somehow has flummoxed government computers. She has been told her identity could not be confirmed.
"They didn't have a solution — they just told me what the problem was," she said. "I was very excited about the promise of Obamacare."
Clarke's income fluctuates, and smaller premiums would come in handy during lean years. She's been self-employed and obtained her own insurance over the past 30 years.
Clarke's case was brought to the attention of MarketWatch, after which Department of Health and Human Services officials were contacted to see if they could make sense of the matter. An HHS spokesman said Clarke's name and her particulars needed to be confirmed through the Social Security Administration.
The 54-year-old Clarke says she's had a Social Security number for many years and presented her identification to so-called navigators during four visits to local sign-up centers. But according to the HHS spokesman, identities are verified through means other than in-person visits.
"I have no insurance at this point," Clarke reports. "I canceled my Blue Cross/Blue Shield."
After Clarke was put together with HHS officials via MarketWatch, the issue still was not resolved. Clarke says that after she explained her situation to a woman at the HHS offices, the aide ultimately could only encourage her to reapply next year.
Because Clarke had a lean year in 2013, she's also applying for Medicaid. She says the HHS officer didn't know initially that Medicaid had been expanded and told her she was ineligible. Then the HHS officer looked it up and discovered that, yes, she could be eligible.
In an email after the exchange, Clarke called that conversation "jaw dropping."
"It was jaw dropping in that it went on and on, and round and round, and solved NOTHING," she wrote.
Clarke says she has yet to hear from Illinois Medicaid personnel about her application despite applying online in December, making two visits in February and March and phoning several times.

I tried almost everything there was in the early 70's except for injecting anything, like heroin. Uppers, downers, LSD...was kinda fun and the LSD was a real mind opener, but I grew to dis-like not being in control of my body. So I just stayed with "pot". It was like a daily sacrament to me, almost a method of meditation and worship. The only ugly part was having to obtain it on the "black market" (i.e. illegally) and risk arrest. I did get "busted" by the police twice and received probation both times. It was very expensive to pay for a lawyer and probations costs and caused me some personal problems. But still I kept smoking it. I finally quit about 13 years ago, it was costing me too much and I was risking going to jail if I got arrested again and my family meant more than going to jail. If it was legal today, I would smoke it. When you see all these advertisements saying that dope will kill you and all that stuff....well, that's the wrong message. What they should tell you is that the first time you take drugs, you will feel GREAT, that it will be the closest you will EVER come to having a religious experience, to seeing GOD. You will feel great, you will have fantastic and profound insights, you will feel like you can do anything. ANd when that happens, you think about what your parents anc church and advertisements said and you will say...."THEY LIED! I will not listen to THEM again!". At that point, your problems will begin. Because eventually, many months or years later, you will have legal problems, family problems, health problems, etc. So, try it once if you must, but better to just stay away from it and avoid the grief and pain.
