en | N/A | N/A | Hayden Another company has answered the calls of Hayden residents looking for more options for accessing the World Wide Web.
In April, Resort Broadband,amboat Springs, began offering its fixed wireless service. To access the service, customers affix a 1-foot-tall antenna to the outside of their home. Thep of the Cog.
Expanding the service to Hayden is in response to demand, Resort Broadband Vice President Evan Biagi said.
"We saw a need out there," Biagi said. "We're starting to differentiate our service from the resort industry."
Resort Broadband has only one other Internet competitor in Hayden. NC Telecom offers similar wireless technology for Internet service. Cable TV provider Bresnan Communication is in the process of burying cable lines to provide a combination Internet, cable television and telephone service. Bresnan expects the service to be available by mid-July.
Resort Broadband uses similar Internet technology in Stagecoach, and Biagi said it provides reliable service.
"There are no issues with weather," Biagi said. "It's equipment designed to do extremely well."
Resort Broadband plans to focus on providing service to businesses as well as homes.
"For certain situations, I think we have a better solution," Biagi said, referring to business applications.
What sets Resort Broadband apart from other providers is its customer service, Biagi said.
"Instead of saying, 'That's not our problem,' I can say, 'Yeah, we can help with that,'" Biagi said.
In addition to being an Internet provider, the company also offers computer repair and can perform diagnostic tests.
"Service is a strong part of our service," Biagi said. "We can help beyond the Internet connection."
Through the end of July, Resort Broadband is offering free installation -- a savings of $100. The cost of the antenna is $249, and it comes with a $40 mail-in rebate. The cost of the basic service is $29 a month. A faster 1.5-megabyte-per-second connection costs $39 a |

(Translation from the French)
Unperturbed, he stated that he does not believe in a Catholic God because “there is no Catholic God”; he did not hesitate to say that proselytism is a “perfect absurdity”; he declared that Mary standing at the foot of the cross felt “ deceived ” by God and revolted against Him; he said that the Roman Pontiff has no right to judge “ gays”; he advised the Moslems to seek spiritual sustenance in the Koran…
Decidedly, Francis seems to wish to become the most innovative and atypical pope in history. And we must admit that until now he has achieved this goal brilliantly. To be convinced of this, all we need to do is look at some of the statements he made in his brief pontificate that caused world-wide interest. there is no Catholic God ” perfect absurdity ” believed herself to be “ deceived ” by God and revolted against Him ; he said that the Roman Pontiff does not have the right to judge “ gays ” ; he firmly stated that “ dialogue ” is “ the only means ” of attaining world peace, that the laicization of the State is beneficial towards guaranteeing “ religious pluralism ”, that what is important in the education of children is not teaching them religion, but “ feeding them”, that all men are the sons of God and are saved, “ including atheists ”, that the Petrine ministry is “a pernicious work” , that the Old Covenant “was never revoked ” and that the Jews “ have no need to convert ”, that Faith and Certitude are incompatible, and that the president of Uruguay Jose Mujica, an atheist who endorses homosexuality and abortion, is “ a wise man” 1 .
These are only a few of the pearls dropped by Francis in the exercise of his media, pseudo-magisterium teaching sui generis in which his incontinent logorrhea accompanies foolproof demagoguery.
Rabbi Sergio Bergman Argentine claims to have found in the Cardinal Bergoglio his “rabbi” because he always has “listened and advised about his vocation” and helped “find the Jewish roots of Catholicism” during his ministry in Argentina.
Always aiming to go beyond and to outdo himself in his search for originality, “my Rabbi”, as his friend, the Argentinian Rabbi Sergio Bergman calls him, Francis expressed a very novel idea in his sermon given in St Martha House that the Church ought not refuse to baptize Martians (!) if they desire it. Apparently it stands to reason that the Holy Spirit is pushing the Church to move on, “to go beyond its limits ”, and that we ought not “ place obstacles or close doors ” to people we still erroneously think of as “impure”. To tell the truth, it is improbable that Francis is seriously thinking about giving baptism to extra-terrestrials, although with him, I must admit that nothing would surprise me anymore. Rather, it is all about giving Communion to the divorced and remarried and about conferring the sacraments on the “gays”, to use the astounding language of Bergolio. In this homily he said that “Martians” really represent the divorced and the homosexuals seeking baptism from the Church that is intolerant and that arbitrarily shuts the door to them for being “impure”, thereby preventing the “Spirit” to go where He will. It goes without saying that this extravagant outburst from the current occupant of St Martha House is a strategy intended to desensitize the minds in order to prepare for s, convoked by Francis under the theme: “Pastoral challenges for families within the context of evangelization”, which took place in the Vatican between October 5 and 14, 2014.
Several weeks ago there was the case of a telephone call made by Francis to an Argentinian woman who was married to a divorced man in a civil union. She had written to Francis, expressing her incomprehension at the refusal of her parish priest to hear her Confession and to give her Communion. According to the testimony of this adulteress – and this was spread throughout the world by the media – the Pope apparently told her that some priests are “more Catholic than the pope” and that, in order to resolve this problem, all she had to do was “go to Confession and Communion in another parish”. This statement has never been contradicted by the Press Office of the Holy See and therefore lends credence to the story spread by the adulterous couple about the “private telephone call” they received from the Vatican.
This revolutionary program, which most probably will lead to new applications of the reception of the sacraments and of family pastoral care, was insidiously announced bywas promulgated last November. This is what he said in paragraph 47:
In addition to irregular marriage cases, it does not take a prophet to foresee that the next Synod will likely deal with the question of the status of those demanding the lifting of the bans against those practising the vice against nature. Several highly symbolic deeds give an indication that this is coming; for starters, the legendary: “Who am I to judge a ‘gay’? ” uttered by Francis at the conclusion of the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro in an airplane conference on his way back to Rome. This inconceivable question comes from the lips of the man who right from his election on March 13 of the previous year called himself the Bishop of Rome.
And this statement – we should not forget – came just several weeks after the well publicized funeral of Don Gallo, the famous Communist priest who was an ardent promoter of the “right” to abortion and was also an undisputed champion of the homosexual cause. His funeral was celebrated with solemnity in Genoa in May 2013 by.
Cardinaldistributing Holy Communion to the trans-sexual LGBT activist Vladimir Luxuria, at the funeral of the priest advocate of homosexuality, Don Gallo.
It must be made clear that in the homily, the Cardinal made the panegyric of the revolutionary priest and allowed two transsexuals to make a plea for the LGBT 2 ideology at the time of the “universal prayer” where they ardently thanked the apostate priest for helping “the trans-gender [sic] created beings to feel loved and wanted by God”. The Italian prelate then personally distributed Communion to them, thereby profaning the Holy Eucharist. A scandal of the greatest proportion which, it goes without saying, went without any outcry on the part of the Vatican.
The grotesque spectacle of a lesbian duo desecrating the cathedral of Córdoba, with the portrait of the godmother of “their” childrepresented by a uniformed aide; the farce was performed with the consent of the local bishop, Mgr. Carlos Ñáñez.
We could well add other similar examples, such as the two Argentinian lesbian “mothers” whose “daughter” was baptized with great publicity in the cathedral in Cordoba last April with the express authorization of the Ordinary of the location, Msgr. Carlos Nanez. The godmother was none other thatthe raging harpy who in 2010 was behind the “laws” permitting “homosexual marriage ” and “ adoption by homosexuals” in Argentina, thereby giving Argentina the sad privilege of becoming the first Latin-American nation to put into place the LGBT agenda of the UN globalists. A socialist, feminist and “homosexual” icon, this impious woman has thereby become co-responsible, thanks to the sacrilege permitted by the Bishop of Cordoba (co-responsible), for the Christian education of the poor little girl living with her two lesbian “mothers”.
Cardinal Schönborn, primate of Austria, welcomed the success of his compatriot, the “drag queen” Conchita Wurst, the song festival of Eurovision and asks God to “bless his life,” because there are “diversity of colors in his multicolored garden. “
Another example: that of Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, who publicly complimented a homosexual football player for making his “coming out ” (“ Bravo! I am happy for him; may God bless him! ”) or that of Cardinal Schönborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, who warmly congratulated his compatriot, the bearded “ drag queen” Conchita Wurst, for his winning song at the festival on Eurovision (“I am delighted that he had such success! In God’s multicoloured garden there is a variety of colours: I pray that his life may be blessed! ”).
Founded and run by the Jesuits, the Pontifical University of Saint Francis Xavier in Bogota, Colombia, has organized annually since 2001 an “academic pink cycle”, to promote LGBT ideology, under the indulgent gaze of the Vatican.
Let us not forget the statements of Fr. Leonardo Steiner, the general secretary of the episcopal conference in Brazil, the most important Catholic nation in the world with the largest number of faithful. Fr. Steiner stated that “it is necessary to dialogue about the rights to civil unions between persons of the same sex who decide to live together, and that they should be given legal protection”. He justifies his remarks by proposing that “the Church is not the same throughout the various epochs” and that the Church “ is searching for ways to respond to the needs of today”. And what can be said of the words of Msgr. Nunzio Galantino, named last Marche by Francis himself. Msgr. Galantino, in response to a journalist who asked him what he hoped from the Church of Italy, said that he hopes “to be able to talk without taboo on any subject, like for example, about married priests, about giving Communion to divorced and homosexuals”. He also firmly stated that he does not identify himself “with the inexpressive faces of those who pray their Rosaries in front of abortion clinics”Another example to illustrate the calamitous situations of our times: the pontifical university Saint Francois-Xavier of Bogota in Colombia, founded and run by the Jesuits, has organized every year since 2001 a “Pink academic cycle”, which openly promotes the “gay” lifestyle. And as is to be expected, there has never been given the slightest sanction to this “pontifical” university, neither on the part of the episcopal conference in Colombia, nor on the part of the Vatican.
These examples could go on and on as cases of defection from the Faith and betrayal of morality have become commonplace among the clerics of the ecumenical “Church of Vatican II”, where apostasy goes hand in hand with bad taste and the most basic lack of human decency.o.François hand in hand with Luigi Ciotti – priest, leftist activist, and staunch supporter of the homosexual cause.When we really think about it, what else can we expect from a society [conciliar church] whose head makes a public spectacle of himself, who surrounds himself with champions of the sodomite cause such as the Italian priests Luigi Ciotti (a close friend and fellow fighter for homosexual causes of the pervert Don Gallo), who was filmed holding hands with the Pope by Italian television and Michele de Paolis, whose hand he kissed after having concelebrated with him in St Martha House under the watchful eyes of journalists who were eager to capture the moment for history?
Pope Francis was named “Person of the Year 2013″ by The Advocate, the iconic US magazine promoting the LGBT ideology.What can be said of the unwarranted – to say the least – award “the Person of the Year 2013” accorded to Francis in December by the American magazine The Advocate, the major LGBT publication in the USA? This embarrassing and troubling distinction awarded to Francis was met with not even the slightest explanation on the part of the Vatican. At best, all this will no doubt offend the souls of the faithful.
It goes without saying that this brief list of repeated scandals, chosen to illustrate the abysmal conciliar debacle, could go on indefinitely. Instead, what will surely not go on indefinitely is Divine Patience. We can say this without a shadow of a doubt because God has loved us so much that He warned us in advance about the outcome of this grotesque farce. We, who are the powerless witnesses of this tragic hour wherein the mystery of iniquity is unfolding in all its arrogance, we are witnessing this abominable imposture, amazed by the unprecedented greeting, this profane and highly subversive “buona sera” pronounced in the loggia of St. Peter’s Square on March 13, 2013, which already then was the symbol presaging the endless calamities that would occur during this pontificate.
Not wanting to predict the future – as no one knows return to earth to judge each man according to his works – but when faced with so many scandals, can we not ask this question: Are we living in the times of the reign of the beast and the false prophet as announced in the Apocalypse by St. John (Book of Revelation, Chapters 13 to 19)? What is yet to come before the manifestation of “another”, as Our Lord called him (John 5, 43), in order for “ the man of iniquity ”, the “ son of perdition ”, “ the adversary ”, as St. Paul called him (2 Thess. 2, 3), to appear? t”, Our Lady foretold at La Salette (1846). By committing these scandals, is not Francis steadily paving the way for the coming of the Antichrist?

Article by By Hayden Thomson - Shepparton News
We use a mirror to see our face. We use works of art to see our soul.
For the first ten years of her life, Esther lived in Cheshire, a settled and happy family life. One of her early experiences of looking at art occurred when her father took her to a gallery and she realised that what appeared to be a blob close up, was an actual ”thing” when viewed at a distance.
Along with her parents and siblings, she migrated to Australia in 1964. Her father ran a small pig farm in Shepparton and she attended High School there. This was not an easy time for Esther as her accent labelled her as ”different” and she had problems with acceptance and forming friendships.
Although Esther had loved drawing from a very early age, she chose not to select art as a VCE subject as she was deter.mined to become a nurse and needed other subjects to qualify for her course. She nursed for two years before marriage and babies took over her life. During that time Esther did occasional drawing and painting whilst holding down a cleaning job and raising her children.
In 1996, Esther attended PACE college and learned how to paint with oils with Jean Vistarini, a well respected painter and teacher in Shepparton. Jean taught her to paint realistically using scale, depth and colour.
Her art practice intensified when she began attending Dynamic Drawing sessions at Byron Bay with Ron Curran as facilitator. Here she learnt to lose her fear of imperfection and began to loosen her marks on paper.
In portraiture, Esther feels that the way the subject is painted reflects the emotional state of the artist as well as the subject. Choices of paint application, colour and background come from the artist and contribute greatly to the emotional feeling of the work.
Contemporary art also interests Esther. Recent works, exhibited with Splinter Contemporary artists, of which she is a member have a conceptual meaning and have been sculptural as well as painterly. |

en | N/A | N/A | Stangen CFO Lerato Olahleng believes the current crisis gives SA an opportunity to rebuild its economy.
The extent of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on the South Africa and global economy in the long term is still unfolding, but at this stage it appears the life insurance industry is well positioned to weather the storm.
In fact, the crisis could be a blessing in disguise for the country. The recent downgrades of South Africa’s credit ratings by agencies like Moody’s was actually long overdue, and was already priced into the markets. What we are going through now masks what was already a shaky economy, and gives us an opportunity to get a handle on rebuilding at a fundamental level.
At an industry level, life insurance still offers a strong investment case from a shareholder perspective. The pandemic has highlighted the need for life insurance in a time of crisis, and although there is likely to be a sharp slowdown in economic activity, we see insurance penetration rising, albeit at reduced premium levels as consumers down-select their cover.
The pandemic has alsoTraditionally, the life insurance industry has lagged its short-term counterpart in this regard. What we are seeing at the moment is that life insurers that have invested in their digital capabilities are better able to maintain business continuity, both from the perspective of having their employees working remotely and maintaining their connections with their clients and their distribution channelsfor many life insurers has been the fact that they’re not able to perform medical tests in the underwriting process. For some, this has meant making some tough decisions about how they underwrite new business. For others, the way forward has been to rely more on data than an in-person medical exam – simply accelerating a process that has been underway in the industry for some time now.
Indeed, there’s been a growing trend worldwide for some time now to cut out full blood tests for medical underwriting completely, with all underwriting done through an online health-based questionnaire, and only a small percentage of customers sent for an HIV test based on a scorecard. ‘no-exam’ life insurance products in the market, where clients can get cover based on as few as four questions. The more information they provide, the greater the level of cover they can access.
Other areas of risk for many life insurers right now include the global volatility of equity markets and declining interest rates, especially where rate-sensitive products are concerned. Fortunately, the industry already has a playbook for risk management that was significantly boosted after the global financial crisis of 2008-09, and most industry players are mitigating their risks by maintaining capitalisation buffers or running hedging programs.
We’ve also seen some insurers focus on the preservation of capital, as it was hard to predict where the equity markets were headed, even before the turbulence caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. By staying in money markets and cash or cash equivalents, they have been able to avoid the worst of the recent shocks to the stock market. Although reductions in interest rates will have impacted their forecasts, they’re taking the view that it’s far preferable to losing a large percentage of your portfolio.
Ultimately, it’s still far too earland the broader industry. We are currently seeing no great effect on our business, but it’s early days yet. From a claims point of view, we will also only be able to assess the impact of the pandemic on our claims ratios once the crisis has played out a bit longer. Until then, we’ll keep doing what we do best: managing risks carefully, both for our business and our clients. |
en | N/A | N/A | , which acted to protect the rights of its legislative constituents in the state assemblies against national encroachment.
In his speech of June 8, Madison did make one notable point he had not endorsed previously. If a declaration of rights was "incorporated into the constitution," he observed,
The inspiration for this statement came from Jefferson. But however attractive this prospect seemed in the abstract, Madison did not expect the adoption of amendments to free judges to act vigorously in defense of rights—at least over the short run. The true benefits of a bill of rights were to be found in the realm of public opinion, whose workings so intrigued Madison. Beyond the immediate boost in allegiance to the new government that the prompt approval of amendments would produce, Madison hoped a bill of rights would reinforce the stability of government over a longer period. "In proportion as Government is influenced by opinion, must it be so by whatever influences opinion," Madison privately noted in December 1791. "This decides the question concerning a bill of rights, which acquires efficacy as time sanctifies and incorporates it with the public sentiment." As greater popular respect for individual and minority rights developed over time, perhaps the judiciary would eventually act as Madison very much hoped yet initially doubted it would. But the greater benefit would occur if acceptance of the principles encoded in rights acted to restrain political behavior, tempering improper popular desires _before_ they took the form of unjust legislation. Perhaps that in turn explains why Madison insisted that Congress take up the subject of amendments at its first session. The logic of this demand was consistent with the concern with public opinion that drove his constitutional thinking. By closely linking the adoption of amendments with the ratification of the Constitution, and by treating both as extraordinary acts of reflection and choice, Madison hoped to attach to this conception of rights "
Few of his insights better illustrate what Bernard Bailyn has called "the hard, quizzical, grainy quality of mind that led Madison to probe the deepest questions of republicanism... as an operating, practical, everyday process of government capable of containing within it the explosive forces of society." Madison was not entirely alone in thinking that the value of a bill of rights was primarily educative; Melancton Smith, the putative "Federal Farmer," developed a similar argument." There was, nevertheless, a crucial difference between Madisons tersely sketched position and that taken by his contemporaries. Other writers—Anti-Federalists and Federalists alike—still regarded bills of rights as standards that would enable the people to judge the behavior of their governors, to know when their legitimate rights and interests were being violated. Madison foresaw a more sophisticated use: Bills of rights would best promote the cause of republican self-government if they enabled republican citizens to govern themselves—to resist the impulses of interest and passion that were the root of factious behavior.
JEFFERSON HAD ADDRESSED the same problem of the self-governing citizen in his _Notes on the State of Virginia_ when he condemned slavery as "." Only a "prodigy" could "," he concluded, which were hardly the circumstances to nurture the manners and morals of republican citizens. Jefferson went on to reflect on the greater evil of " urging his readers to ponder thiOnce again the existence of the fundamental right to liberty ultimately depends on inner conviction, not the forms of constitutionalism; once again, the limitations of Jefferson's anti-slavery become evident in the weakness of his conclusion: "We must be contented to hope," Jefferson wrote, that "" that urged "a total emancipation" of the slaves "will force their way into every one's mind." And if they did not? Better it come "with the consent of the masters," Jefferson warned, "than by their extirpation" in the rebellion he feared.
Of the many questions this passage raises, not the least curious is Jefferson's description of slaves as one half of the citizenry, with due claims to rights. That hardly constituted an accurate description of their status in the new Republic. Madison came nearer the mark in _Federalist_ 43 when he defended the clause of the Cot because it would enable the federal government to quell local insurrections. Here he alluded to slaves as "an unhappy species of population... who, during the course"—and who thus have no rights to claim—"r." Yet at the Convention Madison had described racial slavery," grounded on "the mere distinction of colour." And a few years later, he cited "the case of Black slaves in Modern times" as an "—a restatement of the republican dilemma that echoed Jefferson's reference to slaves as citizens manqué.
Nothing in the Bill of Rights alleviated this radical deprivation of liberty, of course. But Madison's carefully guarded thoughts on slavery expose a further puzzle in his thinking. Among the many objections that militated against an unlimited veto on state laws, the criticism it must have sparked in his native region would have doomed the Constitution once his fellow planters grasped that it would extend to the law of slavery. Could Madison possibly have overlooked this implication? Or might he have hoped that the pressing need to reconstitute the Union would somehow carry the veto in its wake, and thereby provide an entering wedge to weaken the hold of slavery and its evil effects? If he at least glimpsed this possibility, can we not speculate whether the Civil War amendments—especially the Fourteenth—are the most Madisonian elements of the American Constitution? For on what other basishat Madison sought for it in 1787: to act as an umpire mediating the various forms of injustice that he expected to flourish within the states?
So it is that an original intention is sometimes fulfilled long after its author has outlived even himself.*

ERRY MILLER, the great historian of the American mind, opened his most famous essay by revolving the dual meanings of the "errand" that sent an earlier set of American founders—the Puritans—into their wilderness. By the seventeenth century, Miller noted, _errand_ had come to mean both the journey, usually short, "on which an inferior is sent," and "the actual business on which the actor goes, the purpose itself, the conscious intention in his mind." New England's confusion of mission after 1660 reflected this ambiguity. Was its settlement only a step in the broader Reformation still under way in Europe, "or was it an end in itself?" Miller answered his question with this memorable sentence:, they were left alone with America."
Where John Winthrop's generation failed, James Madison and his succeeded (or so they thought, and with reason). But Millers poignant contrast between the purposes of founders |

This is a tale about two tribes of people and the way their perplexing feud sheds light on the social significance of fantasy literature. The first tribe consists of ‘secular fantasy consumers,’ Secularists, and it might safely assumed that they make up the majority of this audience. The second tribe consists of ‘fundamentalist fantasy eschewers,’ Fundamentalists, and it could be safely assumed that very few are present here today. This tribal feud, as you might have guessed, involves the recent and continuing furor surrounding J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books.
After examining the argumentative stakes the stakes of this feud, I hope to defend the following, superficially outrageous claim: that fantasy literature is far more than yet one more venue in our bread and circus society, it is invested with dizzying, almost apocalyptic significance.
So what is about poor Harry Potter that makes it impossible for Secularists and Fundamentalists to see eye to eye? One the one hand, Secularists the world over have raved about Harry Potter. Not only are J. K. Rowling’s stories exciting in their own right, they possess a strong moral centre, and, perhaps most importantly of all, they teach children the joy reading. What gift could be more invaluable? The Fundamentalists, on the other hand, have a far different story to tell. This is what G. T. Armstrong, son of the late to say about poor Harry:
“I don’t have time this moment or I would write a strong condemnation of the Harry Potter books which are filthy, demonic, satanic and blasphemous! I picked up a copy in an airport and scanned it briefly. It was FILLED with witchcraft, spells; one ‘witch’ talking to another, etc.. These books are not fit for any human eye to see.”
The special ‘Harry Potter web-site’ of the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelical Association contains a battery of invective punctuated by choice biblical quotes, such as Leviticus 19:31 –Let me repeat that, reminding you that this is the word of God, here – all-powerful, all-knowing, GOD (we’re so well trained to attach significance to corporate tag-lines that we often forget this)Since salvation depends on proper interpretation, and proper interpretation depends on proper definition, (which is to say salvation depends on a good dictionary) they shrewdly buttress this quote with a convenient set of definitions for ‘defile’:
Makes you want to jump in the shower, doesn’t it? Could they really be talking about Harry Potter here?
Not all the internet condemnations of poor Harry are as extreme as G. T. Armstrong’s. At the Kjos Ministries website, for instance, one can find a number of balanced essays on the perils of exposing children to Harry Potter, as well as reams of critical responses. The responses are fascinating in of themselves. One finds mystified Christians who simply cannot understand how something so apparently positive in their child’s life could be so bad; outraged Wiccans accusing fundamentalists of slurring their faith; even young kids insisting that Harry is one of the ‘good guys.’ Doesn’t God like the good guys?
And the furor continues. Protests against the filming of Harry Potter. Local church groups successfully ridding their schools of Harry Potter. New Mexico church groups burning Harry Potter.
1)ble.
2) Wizardry is condemned by the Bible.
4) Therefore, Christians should avoid Harry Potter.
This argument is very straightforward, as well as strangely compelling. Ghe first premise is obviously true: And no one would argue with the second premise: that wizardry is condemned by the Bible. The same might be said of the third: Harry Potter obviously practices sorcery. Given the truth of these premises, then, it simply follows that Christians should avoid Harry Potter.
But the fact is, most Christians would be extremely uncomfortable with this argument. Most Christians think God is bigger than a single doctrine or book, and so would vehemently disagree with the first premise thatThis problem is easily fixed, however, by simply emending our argument somewhat, and making it more precise:
Even though this has the effect of limiting the argument and its censorious conclusion to a certain group of people, many of us, I suspect, would still want to attack it, to say that it’s just plain silly, even for fundamentalist Christians, to avoid something as benign as Harry Potter. They would want, I suspect, to revisit premises (2) and (3), that wizardry is condemned by the Bible and that Harry Potter practices wizardy, and demand a distinction between real wizardry and fictional wizardry. They would further emend the argument, so that it becomes:
So does this mean the sober, clear-thinking, level-headed, secular fantasy-consumer has the last word?
If you hold the Common Sense Position, obvious ‘No!’ In fact, fantasies are fantasies because of the wizardry they involve. The depiction of magical or enchanted worlds is one of the things that makes fiction fantastic, or especially fictional.
As the living word of God, scripture depicts what is real, and the world depicted by scripture is an enchanted world, which is to say, one containing magic and divinity, supernatural practices and agencies. no? Of course not. For the fundamentalist fantasy eschewer, wizardry is every bit as real as gunslinging and even more perilous.
Why has Harry Potter found itself in this imbroglio? Is there something about fantasy literature that makes religious book burnings, such as the one in Alamogordo New Mexico at the beginning of this year, inevitable? Could it be that fantasy should be burned?
In other words, what makes Harry Potter anathema for fundamentalist fantasy eschewers makes Harry Potter harmless fancy for secular fantasy consumers. The depiction of supernatural practices and agencies that makes fantasies fantasies at once constitutes a threat to your immortal soul and harmless fancy depending on what tribe one belongs to.
Of course such nifty inversions, despite their dramatic punch, should be greeted with scepticism. The world is rarely so cut and dry. And indeed, this is exactly what I intend to argue. This contradiction is not neatly divided into the fundamentalists in one corner and the secularists in the other. What I want to suggest is that all of us, to differing degrees, are fundamentalists in one sense and secularists in another. Our own beliefs, as it were, are divided into contradictory tribes. Nearly everyone in our culture lives this contradiction every day, and fantasy is its primary mass cultural expression..
Im not a fan of Harry Potter at all, but i know of the conflict you describe and, as a rationally thinking person, agree with you. I suppose to people like me (not religious, or live in a religious environment) it just seems to ridiculous that the “fundamentalists” would claim the things they do. But were as i think most people would simply dismiss the ridiculousness you rationalise it well. Though there were a few things that stood out for me:
“Biblical Israel shares the same fundamental structure as Middle-Earth”
Haha, i was just waiting for that! And also with the line of arguement you boiled it down perfectly to:”For fundamentalists, fantasies are misapprehended scriptures, and for secularists, scriptures are misapprehended fantasies.”
When you state “fantasy if far more significant than the adolescent escapism is thought to be” i think, ‘but isnt that what Harry Potter and Eragon are?’ I mean, i dont like Harry Potter for its just childishness and inconsistencies, but then they are kids books… right? lol,
In GRRM’s SoIaF, he deals with strong political themes, the role of women, tropes of fantasy and the like. Joe Abercrombie completely destroys the typical fantasy conventions (briliianty) with his subversion. And from what ive read so far, you incorporate strong philosophical themes.
Everything depends on what you believe, definitely. For nonbelievers, the Bible is no different than the Upanishad or the I Ching or the Illiad or any other spiritual ‘myth.’ What I was trying to get across (I think! – it’s been a long, long time) was that what fantasy worlds have in common with all these worlds is a fundamental psychological structure. These are human worlds, insofar as things like desires, beliefs, reasons, meanings, actually have objective reality. Given that all the worlds 10 000 plus distinct religions share this feature, it seems fair to assume that we are hardwired to look at the world this way. And this, I’m saying could explain why fantasy has the appeal it does, and why Harry Potter generated the controversy it did.

Worryingly for Rodgers (below), his best two defenders — Martin Skrtel and Emre Can — are suspended for tonight’s match, along with captain Gerrard.
‘There is no getting away from that,’ said Allen. ‘That is something that drives us. We all feel we owe Steven a lot.’
If it is to happen, Liverpool must overcome what should be a stiff challenge from Gary Bowyer’s team. Blackburn did more that frustrate Liverpool in the 0-0 draw at Anfield exactly a month ago. They could have won and we can expect them to again trouble a defence that may have to feature two of Rodgers’ weakest links, Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren.
Certainly Liverpool must lift themselves tonight if they are to prosper. The fact that they have already overcome a similar challenge in round four — winning a replay at Bolton — will perhaps encourage them but that was a Liverpool team trending upwards in form. Currently, there is a sense that the opposite is happening.

He was born April 3, 1925, in Salida, to Tony and Carmina Pasquale.
As a young man, he worked on the family’s truck farm near the Arkansas River, planting and harvesting vegetables and driving the trucks that hauled produce to market. with the 147th Infantry Regiment in Iwo Jima where he earned several honors, including a marksmanship badge. When he returned home after the end of World War II, he enjoyed playing baseball, and pitched for several Salida baseball teams.
With his infectious smile and easy manner, he captured the heart of Lorraine Cicerelli. The two attended barber school and for many years, ensured that residents of Climax, Salida and Buena Vista looked their best. He continued using the horticulture skills he learned on the farm and turned nearly half of his backyard into a vegetable plot, growing a variety of crops every year.
As a nature-lover, he spent much of his free time in the outdoors, foraging for mushrooms, picking pinon nuts and teaching anyone who would listen about the flora and fauna of the area. In his younger days, he hunted deer, pheasant and rabbits with friends and family members. A favorite pastime throughout his life was fishing, especially fly-fishing for trout on the Arkansas River. He entered several Climax and Denver “big fish” contests. Some of his first-place prizes were small — $15 – but he also won a boat and an all-expenses paid vacation to Las Vegas in two competitions.
He loved working with his hands and used his creative talents to tie flies for fishing, make canes with carved animal-head handles and build ships in bottles. An antique lover, he collected 100-year-old bottles, railroad items and antique clocks, which he refurbished.
He is survived by his wife, Lorraine; a daughter, Cynthia Pasquale of Denver; a grandson, Alex Knippenberg of Cheyenne, Wyoming; a brother, Joe Pasquale of Saliand Pete; and his sisters Rosie, Jennie, Mary and Ruth. |

- Oct. 11, 2013, around 6:45 p.m. The driver of a southbound Route 77 double-decker bus was about 15 feet away from the crossing going just under 60 kilometres an hour when warning lights and bells went on. He said stopping the bus suddenly would have put passengers at risk.

OC Transpo said at the time it was not illegal to go through flashing railway crossing lights, but several days later an OC Transpo supervisor met with the driver to suggest he "hover" his foot over the brake and be prepared to stop when crossing lights are on.
That letter asks the city to come up with “additional measures,” without being specific, to make sure buses can safely stop when warning lights are on.

FIRST AID FOR COMA PATIENTS-
A-AIRWAY- The victim’s airway should be tried to open
C-CIRCULATION- Stands for maintaining blood circulation. And if the person gets injury on head the bleeding should be tried to stop.
Treatment for such patients include administration of thiamine, they will easily walk off from the hospital by walking on their own legs.
GLASGOW COMA SCALE- It is the scale which is used to determine the intensity of coma. If the patient doesn’t show any response to the stimuli of doctor then it is set at 3 which is a complete coma stage, and as the condition or response of the patient gets improving the meter of the scale is increased. For example if movement is seen in eyes then the meter reading is increased. Like wise it is done till the reading is achieved till 15 which occur when the patient comes completely out of unconsciousness.
SECOGENIC COMA- Patient looks like a coma patient but he is not.
AKINATE MUSEUM- This is also a similar condition like coma occurs because of mental disorders.

Obamacare sign-ups fall below expectations, last year's levels
Updated 03/15/2017 11:34 AM EDTon's 2.2 million people enrolled in Obamacare plans nationwide between Nov. 1 and Jan. 31 — a drop-off from the 12.7 million sign-ups at the close of the last open-enrollment season. The Trump administration soon after taking office scaled back enrollment outreach during the critical final week of sign-ups. StRoughly one-third of the 12.2 million sign-ups were new enrollees, HHS said. More than four in five people nationally — or roughly 10 million enrollees — received Obamacare tax credits to lower their monthly premiums. In 10 states — including and Mississippi — at least 88 percent of enrollees qualified for that financial assistance. Those tax credits, which are based on income, would be repealed under congressional Republicans' plans to dismantle major parts of the health care law. House Republicans want to scrap Obamacare’s subsidies for new tax credits based on age, among other changes. According to the HHS data, roughly 9.2 million people signed up in the 39 states relying on HealthCare.gov and 3 million came through state-run exchanges that operate in 11 states'. |

en | N/A | N/A | So I got a used double din stereo I want to install in my truck. I have a aftermarket radio in it now. The harness for the double din has a different plug for the harness and I cannot find an adapter for this. Am I just having a brain fart and can't find what I need or do they not exist and I have to hard wire it into the existing harness? I know a few people have installed one of these in a ranger. I have installed tons of aftermarket single din's but this will be my first double din and it's just slightly more complicated than single din's and I don't want to mess anything up or fry it.... Any advice? I forgot to take pics but I know its an Dual Axxera double DIN.
You need an adapter harness for the stock Ford connector for your truck. Then you solder/splice from the adapter harness to the harness that plugs into the radio.
That's the problem. I can't find the adapter. The plug on the double din is a square plug with 15-20 pins. I can't find an adapter that connects the factory plug to the double din square plug.
There isn't one that connects the factory plug to the new radio.
There are two wiring harnesses involved.
1) The original harness that was sold with the radio.
2) The adapter harness that plugs into the truck's connector.
Those two harnesses -will not- plug into each other. You need to match up the wires and connect them yourself with a soldering iron, butt splices, etc.
If there's a connector on both ends of the harness that plugs into the radio, you'll just need to cut off the one that doesn't go to the radio. It's just leftover from whatever vehicle the radio was previously installed in.
Scroll down to Part 3 here if there's any remaining confusion.
e...
I missed that you already have an aftermarket radio in your truck. Is it wired in using an adapter (not directly to the truck's wiring)? If so, unplug that harness and cut off the radio connector on it, then splice it to your new radio harness.
Yes I have a harness for the radio. I figured that is what I would have to do but I wanted to make sure there wasn't an adapter and I just couldn't find it. I found a really good write up on this on ranger-forums so I am going to try that since he covers the other concerns like the parking brake wire. In my mind it seemed simple but then I got looking at the two and just started getting more and more baffled. Should be fairly easy. Anyone have one hooked up to a system? If I can't run a system then I don't want it.... Wouldn't see why I couldn't run a system but some electronics are sensitive to loud bass/vibrations. Thanks man. |

en | N/A | N/A | A Democrat who grew up in Vail, Donovan's signature achievement last session was a bill that set up Colorado Public Lands Day to recognize and maintain the current system of federal land management in Colorado, where about a t
"So, this session if [Republicans] introduce bills that either directly address the possibility of the transfer of lands or a different paradigm for how we treat our public lands, then tat changed from last year to this year," Donovan added.
In Colorado, the topic has been hotly debated during previous sessions, with various legislative proposals floated by Republicans who would like to see more state control over mining, oil and gas drilling, logging and grazi in Colorado. Opponents fear rampant industrialization and decreased access for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation, which are all billion-dollar revenue sources in the U.S.
With conservation efforts under attack by Trump's cabinet choices, and outgoing President Barack Obama's efforts to fight climate change likely being rolled back, Donovan added that state lawmakers in Colorado may be the last line of defense.
A lesser concern nationally but a big problem in the Colorado Rockies is what global climate change means for the multi-billion-dollar ski and outdoor recreation industries. A few weeks after RealVail's conversation during a rare December rain storm, heavy, wet storms rolled through in January, bringing more rain and triggering highway-clogging avalanches.
One of those important topics will be keeping public lands public. Donovan, a former Vail Town Council member, addressed the town's examination of adjacent Forest Service land for possible acquisition to build workforce housing.
"That's one of the classic problems that a town in a valley that needs more housing is going to face is the shortage of land on which to build new developments, but Vail and other communities that look at turning public lands into developed properties have to be real sensitive to establishing an expectation of that," Donovan said. |

*Ed. note - This event is not listed in the Official Records General Index and is referenced only in passing in the following report. The event was called a "dash," which here will be determined to be a skirmish.
Last evening, about 8 1/2 o'clock, as the Provost Guard were conveying a number of offending soldier to the guard house, one of them attempted to escape by running off down College street, starting from near the market house, on the Square. The guard fired one shot at the fellow thus attempting to escape, which did no damage any way, and only had the effect to call together a very large and curious crowd.
Our friend Fred. Clark, however, happened to be passing near, and seizing the soldier by the throat demanded he should stop, which he was not inclined to do, but Fred., always ready for an emergency, thrust a cigar near his throat, which he made the soldier believe was a knife, and said ["]if you don't stop I'll cut your throat["], when he halted, and was delivered back to the guard. |

en | N/A | N/A | Two members of Saanich council expressed their disappointment that a response to the ongoing Glendenning Road parking ban could take at least another eight months.
Saanich Parks and Recreation will continue its study on all the access points of Mount Douglas Park, as directed by council in the fall of 2015.
Coun. Colin Plant forwarded a motion at the Feb. 15 Saanich council meeting that led to a debate on the time allowance for the staff prepared Mount Douglas Park access report. The report was ordered in November following a backlash to the parking ban, which limits the Mount Doug Park access on Glendenning Road to about five parking spots.
The ban crept up with no notice in the late spring of 2015, which caught park visitors by surprise. Many Mount Doug regulars continue to park illegally along Glendenning.
The Christmas break and a lack of staff availability were among Henderson’s responses.
“I agree it’s frustrating looking at the time of length it takes,” Henderson said.
When council ordered staff to prepare the report in response to the Glendenning parking ban, it was agreed the report would instead study all the access points at Mount Douglas. To do this, Henderson argued, it is important to be able to study visitor behaviour throughout the park’s busiest months, particularly May to September.
Council then voted down Plant’s motion to limit the report to five months (Mayor Richard Atwell also voted in favour), thereby allotting staff as much as nine months to complete the study.
David Poje, an outspoken council regular and concerned Saanich resident, spoke briefly on the matter.
Poje’s request that the current parking ban be lifted has been denied. He told the Saanich News that previouse ban from the fire and engineering departments have been ignored, and believes this attitude by Saanich management is unacceptable.
Plant actually questioned both engineering director Harley Machielse and Henderson as to whether they felt they’ve responded satisfactorily to the emails of Poje, who is known as a prolific letter writer. Both believed they had, with Machielse saying he is open to further meetings. |

After they had been some time in the Back Settlements of America, Lady Eleanor gave birth to a daughter. Her Ladyship's health was far from being robust, so that she was induced to employ a squaw of one of the aboriginal tribes as the infant's nurse. The little stranger being much too young to travel, was left with the squaw, under the charge of a favourite domestic, and such was the attachment which the whole tribe had formed for their little pale-faced guest, that it was not without the greatest difficulty they were afterwards persuaded to part with her. At length, when the period arrived for the return of the family to England, a serious application was made for the restoration of the child ; but she was not given up until after a negotiation had been entered into, with all the formalities required by the laws of the tribe. Certain casks of brandy, which were employed to accelerate the negotiation, were found to have considerable weight with the Indian plenipotentiaries ; and on the part of the tribe, the child was presented with a quantity of furs so very valuable, that I have seen a muff, worn by Lady
Eleanor, and formed out of part of the present, which was said to be worth at least a hundred guineas. Such was the warmth of the feelings manifested by these untutored savages, that a considerable body of them, accompanied by the nurse, insisted on carrying the child to the shores of the Atlantic, a distance of five hundred miles, to the place where Colonel Dundas and his family were to embark for England". |

Almería ha19. Almerian cuisine receives inspiration from the east and south of Spain.In addition to its cuisine, the province highlights its variety of landscapes: mountains, desert, beaches, etc. that you can enjoy easily flying to the airport of Almeria.
Capital of the Gastronomy of Spain 2019
Almería has been cataloged as a Gastronomic Capitalfor the exquisite variety and quality of its food. Fish, vegetables and almonds make this Andalusian province famous. Almerian fishermen go out to fish in the waters of the Alboran Sea, between Almería and Melilla. The most characteristic fish are: the rooster, the gallons and the red shrimp, considered one of the richest seafood in the Mediterranean and which accounts for almost 25% of the sale in the markets of Almeria.
Along with Murcia, the province of Almeria has become 'the garden of Europe', characteristic for its greenhouses, the so-called'sea of plastic'. Thanks to more than 3,000 hours of light per year, more than three million tons of fruits and vegetables are produced, the most outstanding being the raf tomato, this type of tomato is characteristic for its green color and its different irregular shapes with grooves. This tomato has a sweet flavor with an acid touch and produces more than 800,000 tons a year, taking into account that it is grown between January and mThis tomato has a sweetMay.
It is also noteworthy that Almería was the first province producing almonds in Andalusia. It is grown in the Sierra de Los Filabres and Los Vélez, giving the so-called 'Marcona almond', the richest of all almond varieties according to culinary experts and beneficial for controlling cholesterol.
As for the stoves, the typical dishes of Almería are: the pot of wheat, the crumbs and the cream of white garlic. The wheat pot is made with wheat grain, chickpeas, bacon, backbone and blood sausage.
In Almería you can see all kinds of landscape. To the north, the Sierra de las Alpujarras, neighboring Sierra Nevada. This mountain range is made up of a mountainous landscape, green valleys and white house villages. In the center, the Tabernas Desert, the only desert in Europe considered as such, because like other great deserts such as the Sahara, it was a seabed that was exposed with the descent of the sea level. The Tabernas Desert is famous for its westernlandscape, where many films have been recorded, some of them from Hollywood itself. To the south, on the Almeria coast, there is the Cabo de Gata, a Natural Park that covers some 38,000 hectares, and the Alboran Sea, which bathes 63 kilometers of coastline. Among the most famous beaches are: Las Negras, Los Muertos, Carboneras and Mojácar.
Almeria capital is land between cultures. Of Arab origin stands out theAlcazaba, the largest fortress in Europe. It was built in the 10th century by Abderramán III. Today it is still in perfect condition despite the Cathedral, of Christian origin was built in the 16th century as a cathedral-fortress, one of the few in Europe. At the time of the Spanish Civil War an 'underground city' was built in which the population took refuge. This 'city' was nine meters underground. Today it has become a tourist place for a visit of contrasts, and is that above this shelter is one of the most famous and beautiful walks of Almeria.

en | N/A | N/A | If you plan to place your products on the Amazon marketplace, you will be glad to realize that there is a brand registry thatIt is an avenue for sellers to register their trademarks so that when a dispute arises, they have a great remedy for solving any of them. In the past, considering the many clients that access the platform, when someone infringed on your trademark, it was very hard to handle the matter. However, with the brand registry platform, such matters are easily solvable. The common violation of trademarks is when another seller sells their product using your logo or name. Also, they can sell their items using a name that is slightly similar to yours. There are other instances that a seller can hijack your listing or improperly lodge an infringement case against you. There was a very big problem in the past when handling such matters as it required a long process to get everything successfully sorted out. This procedure was very slow and extremely cumbersome, mostly when multiple sellers did the infringement. The Amazon Brand Registry gives people an opportunity of solving these cases faster by uploading their complete brand details on the server.
When you register on the stage, you can start transferring pictures or recordings that will turn out to be a piece of your record. In any instance that someone abuses your logo, or brand, the process of finding out who and sorting out the problem can be an easy affair. Something different incredible about choosing this stage is that when an issue emerges, it gives a progressively productive takedown process. Those organizations that have enlisted can access many resources and settle and trademark matter. If you want to join the registry, there are some prerequisites that you ought to fulfill. There is a chance to use word marks. Once you have your registration, you must provide reliable evidence of your registered trademark.
When you are selling your thing on this online commercial center, you should ensure that you take part in this enrolment. You will realize the full registration will be completed in six to seven months once you start. So, if you wait for longer, it will take more time to have yours registered. Even though you might not get an opportunity of enrolling for the Amazon Brand Registry, it doesn?t mean that your dispute will not be processed. The only drawback is that you will not have all the tools at your disposal. This is a great tool for businesses that have reputable brands, which they are using to sell their products. When you have uploaded all your details and secured your registration, it will be easier to protect your trademark. |
en | N/A | N/A | seem to have a similar structure. They’ll start with an opening mon-
tage followed by the ceremony followed by the post-ceremony montage. Then
comes the reception followed by a closing recap montage that may or may not
contain credits. I’ll use this format to keep the explanation of the process simple.
Pre-Ceremony (Opening) Montage
In Chapter 9, I talked about what to videotape before the ceremony. These are the
items we will use to create the pre-ceremony montage. In many of my videos, I
would start with a shot of the front of the church and use a titling program to
put the bride and groom’s names over the footage along with their wedding date.
I might then go to a shot of the sign with the church’s name on it. These serve
as establishing shots that let the viewer know where this event is about to take
Then I’d proceed using the various clips of the guests arriving, bride and
groom getting ready, shots of the church, and photo session. I usually try to
keep the length of this montage down to about the length of one song (three
to five minutes). Sometimes I’ll superimpose the invitation over some video
for a nice look. At the end of this montage, I’ll dissolve to the beginning of the
ceremony. All of these clips will be edited together using transitions, primarily
dissolves, and bound together with music. Now this brings up a very contro-
versial question regarding the use of music. Before I can continue I must in-
sert this disclaimer. [Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and I cannot offer
the legal use of
There are some companies selling royalty-free or buyout music. When you
purchase this type of music you are also buying the rights to use it however
you want to use it. These are commonly used in videos that will be mass-pro-
duced and distributed. There are other companies selling music on a contract
basis. For example, you pay them a fee every time you use one of their songs
(sometimes referred to as a “needle-drop” fee), or they’ll sell you the rights to
use any song in their library for a limited period of time, such as for one year.
These are also commonly used in mass-distributed videos or videos for com-
mercial use. Both of these categories of music may be used in wedding videos
as long as you have legally purchased the rights to use them.
The popular music played on the radio and sold in stores is classified as
copyrighted music. Copyright laws state that you may not reproduce or dis-
tribute legal owner of
the copyrights. Technically, using these songs in your wedding videos is a vio-
lation of copyright laws. However, there are many who believe that under the
“fair use” provision, it is acceptable for someone to make a copy of a song that
they purchased legally, for their own use and not for commercial distribution
or profit. This could imply that it might be okay if a client wanted to use a
184 The Wedding Video Handbook
song from their own collection of music (obtained legitimately) for their own
The final decision as to which category of music to use for your videos rests
As I mentioned earlier, I will typically dissolve from the opening montage into
the beginning of the ceremony when the grandparents or parents begin their
walk down the aisle. The method for editing the ceremony will vary depending
on how many cameras were used to record it. Including most or all of the cer-
emony in your final edit is referred to as the long-form edit. The following de-
scriptions refer to the long-form edit. I’ll cover the short-form edit a little later.
Capturing the Video From Your Tape Into the Computer
You may need to consult the manual for your editing software for instructions
on how to capture video. If your software permits, capture the video as one
continuous clip.
I recommend using an audio mixer while you’re capturing the video. Your
audio mixer should be connected in the following manner. Using the audio
cables from your playback VCR, connect the left output cable to one input
source on the audio mixer. Connect the right output cable to a separate input
source that has its own separate volume control. You should connect two out-
put cables from the mixer into your computer left and right input jacks. This
configuration will allow you to mix both of your audio tracks together and
send the resulting mix out to both channels of your video. Depending on how
you used your camera’s audio inputs, you will now be able to mix them as
needed while you capture the footage into your computer. For example, in sit-
uations when you recorded the groom’s mic on one channel and used the
camera’s mic for ambient sound on the other channel, you may want to em-
phasize the groom’s mic more and turn the ambient sound down. While cap-
turing the ceremony footage, I tend to keep the ambient sound low, using the
other channel as my primary audio.
Editing the Video 185
If you don’t have an audio mixer then you’ll have to use your editing soft-
ware to adjust each audio channel after you’ve captured the video.
One-Camera Ceremonies
If you only used one camera for videotaping the ceremony and you kept it
rolling throughout the entire ceremony, then you may not have a lot of edit-
ing to do. Assuming that you videotaped the entire ceremony using only
smooth camera movements, your editing should only require a dissolve from
the opening montage at the beginning and fade to black, white, or the post-
ceremony montage at the end. And then you’re done with the ceremony. The
only additional editing you may choose to incorporate in your ceremony in-
volves a technique referred to as time compression. This is a popular tech-
nique for shortening the processional. I’ll explain this process a little later.
Two-Camera Ceremonies
Most videographers prefer to have two cameras for taping ceremonies. In order
to edit a two-camera ceremony, you’ll need to capture the footage from both
cameras into your editing computer. I will usually name the clips “Ceremony-
Camera1” and “Ceremony-Camera2.” This way, I’ll always know which camera
angle was used for each clip. You could also use “front camera” or “back cam-
era,” if it’s easier for you. After importing both clips into your editing software,
you’ll need to synchronize (sync) the clips with each other on the timeline.
First, you’ll need to drag one of the clips into your timeline. Then drag the
second clip onto the superimpose line (or secondary track) of the timeline and
have both clips start at the same point of your timeline. Most editing pro-
grams will allow you to lower the transparency of one track so that it is super-
imposed over the other track, allowing you to see both. Another option is to
use a picture-in-picture or a split-screen transition so that you can see the
video from both clips simultaneously.
Methods for Synchronizing Clips
One popular method is to look for a part of the video where both cameras are
focused on the same subject or the same section of the church and look for a
flash from the photographer’s camera. Be aware that there may be several
186 The Wedding Video Handbook
flashes, so you’ll have to try to find the same flash for synchronizing the clips
Another method involves looking for the same activity occurring in both
clips where both cameras have the same person in their shots. Then compare
the movements of that person in both clips. You should be able to line up their
action in both clips to the point where they match exactly.
Or you can try comparing the audio tracks for both clips and attempt to
match them up that way. After you’ve synchronized the clips, you’re ready to
Choosing Clips to Use
There are different ways to edit the ceremony; here’s how I’ve done it. I’ll use
the picture-in-picture or split-screen transition in my editing software so I can
see both clips at the same time. Then I’ll look through each clip and cut out
any and all sections that are not usable. For example, if one of the cameras was
out of focus or was jerked around abruptly, I know that footage |

en | N/A | N/A | In a previous question we were asked to translate "andiamo fino al ristorante" and the answer was "we are going to the restaurant." So what is the RIGHT answer? Is 'fino' 'as far as'?
"As far as" = "up to", so some people might allow "to". As long as you know that you did not necessarily go into the restaurant.
"Up to" was my answer which I think is correct. It has been rejected though. It should be a little more flexible with accepting similar options. Don't you think?
I typed up to and it was accepted.
I gave "up until", but not accepted. Is it that bad?
And I wrote "to the restaurant" and they marked it wrong.
"Go up to the restaurant" is accepted too
The same answer was not accept for me -_-
Yeah, I had the the same problem
I wrote We got to the restaurant and it was marked correct. Must have been updated I suppose
Probably. The same happened to me
Yes, in my last "fino" also "up to" should do it as per google, Duo seems to like "as far as"
would you use fino if the verb were different? i.e. is it a preposition to describe the verb, or the object? ... could you say "andiamo fino", or answer a question with just "fino al ristorante?" ... i dont know how to ask more clearly, sorry.
would you use fino if the verb were different? Sure, e.g. "mangiamo fino a mezzogiorno"
is it a preposition to describe the verb, or the object?* mmm I didn't catch that. There is no preposition here. Fino is an adverb that describe the last of point of something related to time or space.
or answer a question with just "fino al ristorante? Yes. e.g. "What time do you want stop dancing?" "Fino alle 6 di mattina".
Why we cannot use "walk"?
"Andiamo" is the conjugation of the verb "to go" or, in italian "andare". Of course, as in English, you could say the same thing in different ways, you can "go" as far as the restaurant, or "walk" or "drive" but in this case, the direct translation of the verb "andiamo" is "we go".
And how do you say "walk" in Italian then? I was confused cause the Spanish similar verb is "andar" for "walk", as opposed to "ir" for "go".
"Walk" is "camminare"; so "we walk" would be "camminiamo". Another translation for "Andiamo fino al ristorante" could be "let's go as far as the restaurant" which would make a bit more sense imho.
Thanks! Should have thought of that. Spanish "caminar" also exists, not sure what the difference to "andar" is, though.
"andare" is the same as "go" like "Vado allo zoo" which means "I go to the zoo". "camminare" is the act of "walking" like "Cammino allo zoo" which means "I walk to the zoo".
It like this, "go to the zoo" simply describes that you are moving towards something called a zoo; while "walk to the zoo" is a bit more descriptive and exact because you're physically walking towards the zoo.
Andare only works as "to walk" in certain constructions, not here. To say "we walk as far as the restaurant" you would need to use camminare or passeggiare.
"Walk" would be more specific, If you're "Going" to the restaurant, You could be walking, Or biking, Or driving, Or even kayaking, But if you're walking, Then you could only be walking.
"Another correct solution: We go as far as the restaurant." I don't understand English at all, how can one say it in English?
Not sure what you are asking here ( We go as far as the restaurant ) would be a correct way of saying it in english at least in NY that is.
I just don't understand what does this sentence mean? We go until we reach the restaurant? Or what?
Think of it this way: say you went for a long drive on local roads, but reached a certain point or location, like Starbucks. Then once you hit the Starbucks, you either make a U-turn or go in. It's the same here. "We go as far as the restaurant" means we walk or drive until we get to the restaurant. From there, the possible actions to take are endless, but nine times out of ten, you don't go past the identified location (ie: Starbucks or the restaurant).
There are different ways of saying it for instance you can say I’m going as far as the store and then you’re on your own. I hope this helps I am not really sure how else to explain it sorry.
"We go as far as the restaurant" would mean that we are going, Presumably in the direction of the restaurant, And then once we reach the restaurant, We stop going, Either to enter the restaurant, Or to turn around and go back where we started, Or even to go towards another location.
Imagine you've been out with your friends all day, walking around. You're tired and hungry. You need to find somewhere to eat. You know a restaurant nearby that you use as a landmark. You decide to go as far as the restaurant to see if you can find an interesting place to find before that, but you decide that you're too tired to walk any farther than that. You could then say: We go as far as the restaurant, if we don't find a nice place before that, we'll eat there, okay?
what is "let's go" then? I always use andiamo to signal that meaning.
"Let's go as far as the restaurant!" would have an exclamation point. Andiamo fino al ristorante! http://italian.about.com/library/fare/blfare162a.htm
Fino/finche (until) - what is the difference, and when are they used?
Good question. I'm also waiting someone to answer it.
fino = as far as
a (means "to the") + il (masculine "the", because restaurant is masc) -> al
so "fino al" simply means "as far as" "to the"
therefore "andiamo fino al ristorante" literally translates as "we go as far as to the restaurant" but as english speakers we get rid of the to the.
hope it's clear to people who are confused. it took me a while to get there.
As long as a restaurant can't walk I will still say "We go until we reach the restaurant". The english translation made me laugh. If I translate what DL gave it means 'We (and the restaurant walks beside us) go as far as the restaurant wants to walk...'
Actually as s native English speaker, this makes perfect sense but you do have to infer some things to get what DL is saying. So essentially DL is saying is that a group (we) head towards the restaurant until we reach it. I'm sure there is a better way to convey that (especially with the later words like "verso") but for something that is earlier in the "lessons", this sentence is fine!
Maybe thinking of it as reply to a question might help: We walk every day. How far do you go? We go as far as the restaurant.
Exactly what I wrote 'we walk until we reach the restaurant' :) For me (german) I am not used to the sentence DL gave and due to translating it to german and then to italian it seemed like nonsense. ;) The english sentence I wrote is how I learned to say it. Sadly they don't teach idioms in our classes. :(
I agree with limesoda - there is nothing wrong with "all the way to". I reported it.
Me too. Looking at dictionary entries, I think "all the way to" is a better translation than "as far as". With "as far as" there is an weak implication that someone else went beyond the end point (restaurant). "All the way to" doesn't suggest that so much as it suggests that perhaps someone who did not go all the way to the restaurant stopped sooner. I reported this.
The program told me that 'Andiamo fini il ristorante.' means 'We go till the restaurant.' But that sentence in English is incorrect - it doesn't mean anything. I believe it was meant to translate to: 'We go as far as the restaurant.'
It could also mean: Let us go (as far as the restaurant)
While "We go...." appears to be a correct translation, "Let's go...." seems to make more sense in English, Atleast to me. "Let's go as far as the restaurant" suggests I (The speaker) am propositioning that We (The speaker + Listener(s)) go until reaching the restaurant, At which point we turn around and head back, While "We Go...." seems to be the habitual to me, Which I feel would be used less commonly in this construct, Plus, I believe, Italian has a different way of expressing the habitual, But don't quote me on that.
Just to be clear "fino a" gets translated to "as far as"? I've seen other instances where it displays this instead of "fino il/la".
Sounded like "anviamo" to me
"We will to the restaurant"??? I dont think this is the right translation...
"We go as far as the restaurant." is the correct translation listed above.
"We are going to go as far as the restaurant." could also be said as "We will go as far as the restaurant."
"We go as far as to the restaurant " is literal, but wrong. "We go as far as the restaurant" is correct but does it not skip the "al" or is it treated as "the"?
"fino a" means "as far as" , a + il = al, al - a = il which is "the"
Any reason why the 'al' is there? When do you know to use 'al' after a preposition?
Here are some examples of articulated prepositions for fino a.
• ... fino a Londra.
• [ ... as far as London. ]
• ... fino ad Amsterdam.
• [ ... as far as Amsterdam. ]
• ... fino al caffè irlandese.
• [ ... as far as the Irish cafe. ]
• ... fino all'ufficio postale.
• [ ... as far as the post office. ]
• ... fino allo zoo per bambini.
• [ ... as far as the petting zoo. ]
• ... fino ai negozi di scarpe.
• [ ... as far as the shoe shops. ]
• ... fino agli yacht di lusso.
• [ ... as far as the luxury yachts ]
• ... fino alla stazione ferroviaria.
• [ ... as far as the train station. ]
• ... fino all'albero di arancio.
• [ ... as far as the orange tree. ]
• ... fino alle panchine verdi.
• [ ... as far as the green benches. ]
I find that it easier to understand the usage of fino a when I combine the above phrases with this phrase.
• Siamo andati ...
• [ We went ... ]
Fino a = Up to
Fino al = Up to the
I think "fino" is always followed by "a". (if there are any exceptions i dont know). And in this case we have to add "il" ( from "THE restaurant"). And: " a" + "il" = "al".
We go as far as (to) the restaurant is incorrect because al is not "to the" ??
It's because "fino a" means "as far as" but you have to contract "a" and "il" to "al" so it becomes "fino al"-> "as far as the".
I answered "We go to the restaurant" and it was accepted as correct
It's hard to express this in english. In spanish "fino"="hasta". Litteraly it would be like "until" or "till" but you don't use something like that in english. "We go till the restaurant " would be more or less the translation, wich is accepted by duo.
here 'fino' is a preposition which would mean up to or until = as far as. Unless "fino al" together means " as far as" , which I do not know.
What's wrong with "all the way to"?
We cannot you say "we walk up to the restaurant"?
Nope because the verb "walk" has a separate term in Italian called "camminare" or "camminiamo"
"Andiamo" mostly means "let's go" or "we go"
why use 'al' (to the)? Can you say 'Andiamo fino il ristorante'
But doesn't FINO mean "until"?
You would never say 'till' the restaurant
could this also be andiamo final il ristorante?
Andiamo has came as: lets go, we have and we go!!! How is that possible?
Andiamo cannot translate as "we have" so I presume that is an error. But it does translate as "let's go" and "we go". The first is the imperative tense (giving instructions or directives), the second is the indicative tense (we are doing this or that).
Ahh, I get it. It means "As long as" or "Go to" or any amount of time/distance that has a definite point. Adding "Non" to this word makes it an indefinite amount of time. Like "Io vado fino a non finito" (I go until I finish) but otherwise "Io vado alle 6" (I go until 6).
I was corrected by duolingo with "we will go to the restaurant", I thought andiamo was present tense am I missing something?
Yes, andiamo is present tense and can mean "we go", "we are going" or (imperative tense) "let's go", whereas "we will go" is future tense and would translate as andremo.
Does mean the sentence "We go until the restaurant." the same as "We go up to the restaurant." ?
And is the sentence "We go until the restaurant." a good transaction for "Andiamo fino al ristorante."? I think yes it is, but is it?
[I am not English]
"fino" can mean "until", but that meaning only applies to expressions involving time, not distances. Per esempio, "Fino a un anno fa" would mean until one year ago. When "fino" relates to a distance it can only mean "as far as" or "up to" or "all the way to".
Fino is like until?
"Fino a" has two meanings; when it relates to time it means "until", when it relates to distance it means "as far as" etc. In this example, we are talking about distance (from here to the restaurant) so it means "as far as", "all the way to", or "up to".
We'll WALK as far as the restaurant comes out wrong, which doesn't make sense..
In my experience DL likes you to provide a literal translation. Andiamo on its own can only mean we go or let's go. If DL wanted "we walk" or "we will walk" they would have used camminare or perhaps andare a piedi. My advice is stick to the exact meaning even if walking sounds more inviting than just going there.
You can go in a car, on a bike or by any other means. andare does not imply how to go.
i replied 'We go as far as the restaurant'. My answer marked wrong though.
What exactly does the sentence mean? Where are we stopping? In front of the restaurant? Inside? Scusi, non capisco bene ;-)
There are some good explanations above - see what darkangel and rogercchristie wrote. We don't know what happens next; we are just getting to the restaurant, then maybe we wait outside for further instructions.
Any of those, but no farther than where the restaurant is
"We go till the restaurant." Is this supposed to be English? This is what Duolingo gives as the correct answer.
I agree this is a wrong answer because "till" or "until" are used only in relation to time or degree, not distance. I think the confusion by DL is because "fino a" can relate to both time (or degree) and distance. On the one hand meaning "until", on the other meaning "as far as".
I translated "we go up until the restaurant", which, as a native English speaker, I thought made more sense than "as far as the restaurant", but it marked me wrong. why? thanks
The sentence is talking about the distance to be travelled to the restaurant, so "as far as" or "up to" fit perfectly. However "until" can only be used to express the passing of time (not distance). You could say "we go until we reach the restaurant", meaning for the time it takes to get there. But "until the restaurant" or "up until the restaurant" just don't make sense.
What is the difference in meaning between the above translatiuon and"We go up until the restaurant."??
I. think the english translation is not proper english
No, the English translation is perfectly correct
I think "up to" is the most appropriate translation for "fino al"
"Up to" is an acceptable translation in some situations; "as far as" is the best answer to cover all circumstances (which in this case we don't know). You would not use "up to" if the restaurant was clearly downhill from where you are.
Dang, my spanish brain kicked in and said, "we walk to the restaurant" because of andar
I used "walk" instead of "go", but that was considered wrong. How would I write "We will walk as far as the restaurant"? Perhaps using "camminare"?
Yes, since walking is only one way to go. We can ride, drive, skip or sail as well as walk.
I wrote "we go to the end of the restaurant" this seems correct as well but it was not.
WE ARE GOING TO THE RESTAURANT
That's OK, but with DL you need to translate the whole sentence. WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE RESTAURANT.
We are going as far as, but not necessarily to, the restaurant
It's a landmark, not a destination
Agreed; we are not going to, as in into the restaurant, we are going all the way to (meaning as far as) the restaurant.
I wrote "we go as far as to the restaurant" and it was marked wrong.
I think that's because the 'to' is superfluous. 'We go as far as the restaurant' is all you need to say. 'as far as' = 'up to', 'all the way to' and, perhaps, just 'to'.
The answer you marked as incorrect is the same as the correct answer you gave
We go until the restaurant and it was marked as correct. I'm not a native English speaker but that sound weird
It is weird and I, as a native speaker, would never use it -- as far as the restaurant is the phrase I would expect here. You could, I suppose construct a sentence in which "until the restaurant" could be used: We will eat there until the restaurant closes, but the Duolingo sentence isn't it.
I agree using 'until' on its own is incorrect. 'Until' is used to describe time elapsed, so you would need to add something extra like - 'We go until we reach the restaurant' or 'We go until we get to the restaurant'. I would be happy for DL to accept these alternatives.
I do not understand any of this two sentences (nor italian, nor english). What does it mean? What do you want to say with this sentence? Both of these languages are foreign for me, so I have some issuise. Can somebody give me an advice, please. Thank you.
Basically, the sentences are about the length of a trip. The phrase indicates when the trip stops: Did you have a long walk? No, we only went as far as the park. Which bus should I take? Take the No. 22. It goes as far as the train station.
This can mean we walk up to the restaurant.
In the discussion you can read why 'we walk up to the restaurant' is not a valid translation.
Thanks JohnFin1. I see it now.
So, to the building (in this case restaurant)?
Strange... To me fino was having a time correlation while sino had a space one.
Fino and sino mean the same thing. I checked the 3 dictionaries I have and for 'sino' they all say see 'fino'. And Reverso online gives the same definitions and usage for both words. I am guessing it is a regional issue as to which is used. I read a lot of novels and can't recall ever seeing 'sino'; it has always been 'fino'. So, both can be used in relation to time or space. Good to know - thanks.
P.S. I have read a few more novels since the comment above and found "sino" used in place of "fino", but only a few times.
Bonne réponse et rouge et revient toujours a la même questio
Why isn't "finché" a preposition too?
I do not understand in what occasion to use "fino" and "verso di"...besides that, "fino" means -towards- but you guys are translating it "as far as" that's completely confused.
Verso and fino mean completely different things. "Verso" means "towards", which just means going in the direction of something. It doesn't mean arriving at the destination. "Fino a" is being used in the sentence not just "fino", and this means going all the way to the destination. That is, going "as far as" il ristorante.
as fa as restaurant seems odd!
There is nothing odd about it; it is a relatively common expression, and the most suitable answer.
I wrote "We go as far as the restaurant." it was marked wrong. I can't find the error
It seems to me, the restaurant is able to go as far as me. Up to is better.
Up to or as far as ???
As far as or up to ???? What is wrong?
“We go up to the restaurant.” Is accepted
We go up to the restaurant.
As far as (the) restaurant - for this translation THE was not offered at all
Andiamo fino al ristorante. Translation to English did not offer the word "the"
Errors occurred - so I could not send my comment twice
I wrote "Let's go to the restaurant " and it was marked Correct.
It's dumb to mark it wrong because of a typo, i just typed ristorate instead of ristorante
wrote go as far as the restaurant was refuse why do i need to write WE in the front
Without «we» in English the phrase becomes an order to someone: «Go!» The Italian andiamo is either an order to ourselves: «Les't go!» or simple present: «We go/we are going».
In Italian you don't need the "we" because the form of the verb helpfully tells us who is doing the action; andiamo- we go, vado - I go, vai - you go etc. But in English the verb form is often the same for different subjects (the action doers). If you didn't put the "we" "I" "you" etc in front we would not know who is doing the action, i.e. who is doing the going. As rbbekkhus says, the sentence would be interpreted as an order (or instruction/advice).
"We go up until the restaurant" - is not not accepted? Doesn't it mean the same thing.
This question has been answered many times in the discussion comments. Basically, when we are describing the distance to travel to a place or destination "fino a" translates as "as far as", "up to", "all the way to" that place. "Until" is only used in relation to the time of an event. So you would have to add words like - "We go up until (the time) we reach/get to the restaurant".
This translation senseless (( It means Let's go to the restaurant, I believe
You are nearly right in reading it as an imperative, but your sentence is a translation of 'Andiamo al ristorante'. However, the word 'fino' is included. So it can only mean 'Let's go (all the way to/as far as/up to) the restaurant'. It could also just be a statement, so DL's translation makes perfect sense as well. |

It was also very tough not being able to spend the day with my oldest, H. I did see her. She dropped some lovely presents off to me, arriving with her boyfriend M and a beautiful roast chicken courtesy of his parents. We sat outside in the sun on the wall, the requisite distance apart, while I opened my presents. Z is out of isolation, so he’d been able to go to the shops and get potatoes, and I received two bags of vegetables on Thursday from a university colleague and his wife. While we were eating, the kids and I went through everything on our plates and counted how many people contributed to the contents of our dinner.
7 people. 7 kind, caring, wonderful people brought us bits and pieces that went into that roast, and M’s dad cooked us a tasty chicken from Bransbury Park Butcher’s that was far superior to anything I could’ve rustled up.

It was a dramedy before that term – or genre- was well-known. A drama with a sense of humor; a comedy that at times could be heart-wrenching at times. Lovable, Relateable. Quirky like Seinfeld but a version where the characters weren’t obnoxiously self-absorbed and were dropped into a small town. It was also could be seen as something of a male bookkend to The Gilmore Girls which debuted the same autumn. Just like Ed , Lorelei and Rory, those feisty Gilmore Girls had oddball small-towners to contend with, lots of music and main characters looking for love. Unlike Ed, however, The Gilmore Girls live on in Walmart discount video bins, Sunday afternoon reruns and most notably, in a limited 4-episode resurrection from Netflix. All accomplished while averaging only a little over half the number of viewers as Ed in its first run.
Ed was several shows in one really, a somewhat risky proposition for TV of the day. Romance |

en | N/A | N/A | "So what goals have you got for the year ahead, Mel?" An innocent question. It was New Years Day 2021 and I'd already battled my headache by braving THE coldest swim in the sea and was now sat down ready to battle my buckwheat pancakes. "Erm.." I mumbled something about money, something about making my own cosmetics and possibly something about moving out of London before quickly redirecting the question.
New Year Resolutions feel like a mandatory exercise. This question is almost as bad as those cringe conversations about all the ones you'd set last year but have failed to achieve. Studies have shown that as many as 92% of people don't actually achieve their New Year's Goals when they set them, so at least I'm not alone.
This got me thinking though. If we're setting goals around living more sustainably, surely there must be a better way to ensure they actually happen and that we are fulfilled by them, rather than frustrated. An important undertaking for the planet as much as for ourselves.
So what is the solution? Setting intentions.
I like intentions because instead of being set in the distant future they're set in the present. They're a guideline for positive action that allows us be curious, to accept opportunities and to feel fulfillment in the process - rather than just at the end.
Now, don't get me wrong goals are extremely useful and I do still use them. They help me set a destination and give my life milestones, but intentions are also powerful, helping me choose a direction in the day-to-day and giving me purpose. They help me remain consistent and consistency is the key to success.
5 Reasons Why Setting Intentions Are Better Than Goals.
1. Intentions are set in the present.
Setting an intention encourages us to be present and content with where we are today, which in turn makes us happier, more satisfied and grateful humans. By setting intentions on the here-and-now, we become more aware of what we have and the small actions we're taking towards becoming someone we want to be.
And, with that being true, there really is no deadline on an intention either, removing the pressure to achieve X by Y.
2. They don't come with a success/failure metric.
I remember when I was taking my driving test and my goal was to pass with no faults so I could win back £500 of my tuition fee. My goal was clear, measurable and time-specific, but looking back it was a tad ambitious. I got one minor (the insult) and felt totally deflated afterward, despite it being a near-perfect score. Had I set an intention earlier in the year to become more independent, or to simply do my best, the effect on me would have been different.
With such a black and white metric it can be easy to be discouraged by our goals, or to feel like a failure when we don't reach them. With an intention, the stakes are lower and the rewards are accessible at every stage of our journey.
3. Intentions are about becoming, not achieving.
" a guidepost for who you want be...instead of what you want to 'do' or 'accomplish." - Christie Inge. I love the idea of becoming rather than achieving. In fact, who you become is the true value of a goal. Instead of the goal of 'doing 100 burpees' you become someone who prioritises fitness. Instead of 'never buying new clothes' you become someone who values their current wardrobe.
It makes room for the grey areas, for curiosity and the deeper sentiment behind our goals to come through and thus it also motivates us to continue down our path long after the goal has been achieved.
4. Intentions widen our potential for growth.
Your intuition is all about intrinsically knowing what is best for you, and those things often don't show up as a binary goal. When you sit down and think about an intention for the year, you' can happen at any time, anywhere and therefore you increase your own opportunity to grow. The person who has become a climate activist is someone different from the person who attended x3 rallies.
5. Happiness isn't a leverage.
We've all been there, we've assumed that when we earn 6 figures, achieve our dream body or complete a lifetime goal, we will finally be, and importantly remain, complete. But that does not appear to be true. Indeed both achieving the goal and not achieving it can be equally as unrewarding.
1. Find a quiet space to sit where you won't be disturbed and, with a notebook and a cup of your favourite hot drink take a moment to look at the year ahead.
What kind of people do I admire?
What do I want more or less of?
3. Find a simple phrase, or just word that defines you intention for yourself this year. Don't worry about it too much. You can refine, it change it or develop it as you go. The idea is it to feel like an authentic, true expression of how you'd like to live this year. |

42 In neither of these cases is there any reason why rescission should not be allowed, if justice will thereby be attained. An illustration of the latter type is the leading case of Hunt v. Rousmaniere's Adm., 1 Pet. 1, 10, 7 L. Ed. 27. Both the parties declared that they had called upon an attorney to request him to draw writings to secure a loan by means of a vessel, and to obtain his opinion as to the kind of instrument which would give the most perfect security to the lender. The attorney told them that a bill of Bale, or mortgage, would be security, but that an irrevocable power of attorney, such as was afterwards executed, would be as effectual and good security, as either of the others; and would prevent the necessity of changing the vessel's papers, and of t The parties then requested him to draw such an instrument, as, in his opinion, would most effectually and fully secure Mr. Hunt; and the plaintiff frequently asked him, whilst he was drawing the power,, as a bill of sale, or mortgage, and that upon his assurance that it was, it was then executed.
"It may therefore admit of some doubt, at least, whether the loss of the intended security is to be attributed to a want of foresight, in the parties, or to a mistake of the counsel, in respect to a matter of law. The case will, however, be considered in the latter point of view. The question then, is, ought the Court to grant the relief which is asked for, upon the ground of mistake arising from any ignorance of law? We hold the general rule to be, that a mistake of this character is not a ground for reforming a deed founded on such mistake; and whatever exceptions there may be to this rule, they are not only few in number, but they will be found to have something peculiar in their character."

Day 1 - May 27, 2006: Osaka
We arrived in Kansai Airport in the morning. Since we were only going to be in Osaka for one night, we decided to send the bulk of our luggage through the Takkyubin luggage delivery service straight to the ryokan we had booked in Kyoto.
On the left is the two week JR pass we bought which was expensive but the best thing we bought for this trip because it took us pretty much anywhere we wanted to go between and within cities. It made last minute itinerary changes possible and even viable. On the right is the Kansai Thru Pass which seemed cheap at first but was almost worthless outside of the Kansai area - a total waste of money.
Our first meal in Japan was at the Osaka JR (Japan Rail) station. The food doesn't come out of the vending machine. You just buy tickets from it and get served some cheap food.
Our first place of interest in Osaka was a flea market my wife had read about on an internet forum. It was quite pathetic, as you can tell.
A sign outside a "love hotel". We walked around for awhile but couldn't find a proper hotel so we were going to stay at one of these. When we got inside, they all seemed to have nobody at the front counter and you just pay for the room key through what looked like a giant vending machine. When we finally got someone to come out to the counter and asked about their "long stay" option (a room for the whole night), the rates were exorbitant and we couldn't check in our stuff until 9pm.
After a long search and a cab ride, we found
The bathroom wasn't so traditional and had these new-fangled features attached to the toilet bowls.
We spent the rest of the day around Minami, Dotonbori and the nearby streets, absorbing the people and the city. This giant crab looked like a convenient meeting place in case we got lost. That was until we found another giant crab around the corner, and another one beyond that, and quite a few more as we walked down the block.
Dinner was at a yakitoriya. Forgot the name.

"We really hope this proves advantageous to the host communities, and commerce is obviously part of that process," said Forte. "If this event allows for some guided fishing trips and more stays in local hotels and meals in local restaurants and those kinds of things, then we're all about it."
Forte said kayak angling has for the past decade been "exploding worldwide." But as yet it "hasn't evolved to the point where it's making household names."
"I would love to see a world championship come to Cookeville at some point — where we invite all the nations' best kayak anglers to come," said Forte. "We're hoping we can make that happen."
"It'll be really, really good in late May," he said. "That post-spawn bite over there is always good. You can catch them on topwater, you can catch them on a Carolina rig, you can catch them on a crankbait or a spoon. There are just a whole lot of things you can do to catch fish on Center Hill at that time of year."
Tramel said Pan Am competitors might have difficulty tracking down paunchy females, but aggressive males will be guarding schools of recently hatched fry and "will be hitting pretty good."
"I fish around Cane Hollow a lot," Tramel said. "It is up in Falling Water River and there are just a couple different sorts of structure-types, but historically the fish will be hitting back in there."
"There's a lot of versatile water around there where you can do a lot of different things," Tramel said. "You've got the main channel, you've creeks and pockets and all different kinds of structure that the fish can get in to."
"The coolest feature is the waterfall and the plunge-pool below," said Cutcher. "The waterfall creates the magnificent swimming hole below. The ledges beneath to climb up on make it such a unique experience that people keep on coming here. In addition it's a wild and rugged area so you have to take a pretty good hike."
"The Cummins family had owned the area since 1825," said Ranger Cutcher. "For over 100 years they operated a mill on this site. The Cummins family didn't try to restrict use to the area so it kind of became a public recreation area."

Lincoln's Mentors: The Education of a Leader
Abraham Lincoln: Selected Speech...
There are two ledges that amateur and professional historians alike can veer toward in their analysis of Abraham Lincoln. The first is a hagiography of Lincoln that unabashedly celebrates him as "the Great Emancipator" at the forefront of the abolition movement who saw... See more black and white equality exactly the same as many of us do today. This is not true. But the counter-narrative, that Lincoln was a white supremacist who used abolition of slavery only as a political tool and was only antislavery when it behooved him, is also not as supported as it may seem. James Oakes takes aim especially at the second of those narratives in his new book, The Crooked Path to Abolition. He accomplishes this by looking at the full picture of Lincoln in his context.
It is important to note, and Oakes is clear, that Lincoln was not a part of the abolitionist movement, even as many of his political enemies claimed he was. "As Eric Foner writes, Abraham Lincoln was not an abolitionist and never claimed to be. But Lincoln always hated slavery as much, he once said, as any abolitionist." The key, however, is that Lincoln read the constitution as an antislavery document. This was the big political argument of the day: Does the constitution support slavery or is it antislavery? Different people read the Constitution in different ways, and they ascribed different motivations to the founders to support their views. This all was happening less than 6 is no wonder that we still do the same sort of thing today. But the truth is, the Constitution could easily be read as pro-slavery or anti-slavery, and there is a reason for that. Oakes explains:
Oakes spends a lot of time on the arguments about whether the constitution was proslavery or antislavery, and they are a big part of why the book is worth reading, so I will only outline them here. The proslavery constitution argument boils down to, both of which assume slavery as the norm and institute, respectively, the right of enslavers to recapture runaway slaves in another state and the ability of s. These clauses in the constitution are seen as showing support for slavery as an institution, even though the word "slave" is not mentioned.
The antislavery constitution argument, however, starts with the idea that "Freedom is the rule, slavery the exception." Therefore, enslavers have no rights that are not spelled out in the Consitution itself, which means that there is no "property in man", as slavery proponents believed, and no one could be coerced to provide a fugitive slave to their enslaver. The enslaver simply had the right to take the runaway for himself.
It is in these crevices of historical context that The Crooked Path to Abolition gets lost, and I mean that in the best possible way. Oakes is able to get the reader so engrossed in the political arguments of the day that you begin to see where Lincoln came from and what he was all about. You begin to see how someone could be so committed to the antislavery constitution and federalism itself that he would not take the opportunity to free every slave with the stroke of his pen (a power he did not actually have) but at the same time took every opportunity to emancipate slaves when he could, persuade others when he couldn't, and devote his presidency after the Emancipation Proclamation to convincing states it was in their best interests to abolish slavery themselves. This, not the Emancipation Proclamation, is what led to the Thirteenth Amendment and thus the end of slavery in the United States. As Oakes writes, "Lincoln's sustained effort to get states to abolish slaveryremains one of the least-understood features of his presidency."
There were only two sections of the book where I thought anything substantial was missing, and even those were minor qualms. The first deals with whether Lincoln was a white supremacist or not, and employs the most famous quote in which Lincoln seems to evoke white supremacy outright — Sounds pretty much like white supremacy, right? Then Oakes writes in defense:
"This was Lincoln's single most overt endorsement of racial discrimination, yet several historians have noted the oddly negative phrasing Lincoln used here. He didn't actually say he supported the various forms of inequality he listed; he simply said he had never endorsed the several forms of racial equality he specified. He said there was a "physical difference" between blacks and whites, but he didn't say what the difference was. Lincoln was clearly aware that many people believed those physical differences — whatever they were — necessitatBut Lincoln didn't say whether he believed that. What he did say was that as long as blacks and whites "must be" assigned a position of superior and inferior he would naturally prefer to be "assigned" to the superior category. But who could disagree with that? Who would "favor" being "assigned" to the inferior position?"
Where Oakes's defense falls apart, for me, is that Lincoln doesn't say "as long as blacks and whites must be assigned a position of superior and inferior". He says "". That tells me that Lincoln couldn't imagine a world where true equality exists. And I really don't blame him for that, given his context. We can see that world much easier from our vantage point, even though it doesn't yet exist. But I tend to think that, as antislavery as Lincoln was, he couldn't quite grasp a United States where racial hierarchy didn't exist. So I mostly agree with Oakes even on this point, and he doesn't push too hard on it, saying afterward that:
"At the very least Lincoln's remarks at Charleston paid cowardly deference to the racial prejudices of his listeners. A more straightforward reading is also less exculpatory: Lincoln did not support allowing blacks and whites to "intermarry." He did not support allowing black men to vote. He did not support allowing blacks to sit on juries, thereby diluting his commitment to due process rights for accused fugitive slaves. In a state that discriminated against African Americans on explicitly racial grounds, to declare that you'd prefer to be assigned to the superior race is to virtually, if not literally, endorse the racial hierarchy. No doubt Lincoln's defenses of black humanity and fundamental equality were more consistent, more frequent, and quite unambiguous compared to his periodic bowings and scrapings before the racist peanut gallery. But the contradiction is still there, and it cries out for explanation."
The last point is just one I wish he had explained more because I don't understand why so many slave states would abolish slavery at the end of the war. They ended up abolishing slavery and ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment without any federal incentives. I kept waiting on a full explanation of how this happened, and Oakes writes this paragraph in explanation:
"None of these states abolished slavery because Abraham Lincoln told them to abolish slavery. Rather, Lincoln and the Republicans in Congress had taken advantage of the war to undermine slavery in those states, shifting the balance of power to favor those who opposed slavery and, as often, opposed the long-standing domination of their states by the slaveholding class. Each state was different, but in all of them the agency of the slaves, the empowerment of the non-slaveholders, and federal policy came together to create conditions that made abolition possible."
This is a good broad explanation, and maybe I missed the specifics throughout the second half of the book that would make all of it come together. Then he gets to the meat of it:
"In the last year of the war, six slave states — Arkansas, Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Louisiana, and Tennessee — abolished slavery on their own — though under enormous pressure from the federal government to do so. To be sure, some of these "states" were barely even states. Virginia's legislature was entirely a creature of the federal government and at best claimed sovereignty over a handful of counties in proximity to Washington, DC. Louisiana's legislature was scarcely more representative of the state. Tennessee's even less so. But as far as the Lincoln administration was concerned, the only legitimate state government was a loyal state government, and in the president's accounting six "loyal" slave states had abolished slavery."
So that makes a little more sense. But I still feel like something important is missing here. Even with governmental pressure, even with only the loyal parts of the states getting a vote, even with the balance of power shifted (however that worked), I can't imagine enough votes in, say, the Arkansas state legislature to abolish slavery in 1864. Maybe that's a failure in my imagination, but I was waiting for a more complete answer and I didn't find one.
I received a review copy of The Crooked Path to Abolition courtesy of W.W. Norton Company and NetGalley, but my opinions are my own
The Antislavery Fight Before the Civil War
This is a great view of Lincoln''s political fight against slavery, most of it in his pre-Presidential years, but also including the early years of his Presidency. In recent years, I have become intensely interested in the years running up to the Civil War, and... See more
have seen Oates become one of the leading scholars of the period. He has also written about this period in The Radical and the Republican, about Frederick Douglas and Lincoln; and in Freedom National, about the fight to recognize freedom as the condition expected for American citizens, unless otherwise specified.
Lincoln''s project continues
Read this book before you rename your school. The process of ending slavery was torturous and heroic. Lincoln began the transformation of the nation which continues today. He was transformed in the process.
I gave this story a rating of 4 because I knew it would take another reading or so to clearly understand what's being said. I got the narrative part because I knew I'd have a hard time reading it and would have to read it a couple more times to understand it. I enjoyed it... See more and think others will also. I learned a lot about how sly Lincoln could be to get what he wanted done. An eye opener.
One of the most relevant Civil War books I''ve read in a while.
This book was one of the best Civil War books that I have read in a long time. I am always looking for a good Civil War book to read, and I am not always able to find them, but this one really hit the spot. One of the finest written books to hit the shelves in a long time.... See more
A dense book that makes a few points
This is second book by Oakes I've read, and as much as I enjoyed his other, this was hard to get through. I found the writing sense and slow and the primary point was that Lincoln's opinion and tactics evolved. I think this might have made for an excellent... See more
I think this might have made for an excellent journal article, but seemed stretched to fill 200 pages. The breadth of research and thought are evident, but the payoff was less than I'd have hoped
A truly concise revealing look at how Lincoln's views on race evolved.
In a relatively short book the evolution of Lincoln's views on slavery and abolition are clearly laid out. It is a very nuanced analysis avoiding broad generalizations

en | N/A | N/A | Mood Music: Et Si Tu N'Existais Pas by Joe Dassin
Natasha is dressed rather casually, black leggings, blood red tank top, unzipped black jacket, and red flats. She's currently sitting outdoor in a cafe in Paris, her black purse is hanging from the back of her chair. She's sitting cross legged, fancy sunglasses cover her eyes. A cup of double espresso and a small plate with an almond crossaint are set on the table. She seems as relaxed as can be.
Colossus is a large man. In the past, and likely in the future, it makes it difficult for him to hide. These days he is less on the run from government agencies that may wish to ask him questions but old friends made into enemies might yet want to settle down for a nice little chat. So far, though, he has avoided that fate. He takes a seat at a table close to Natasha, placing his money on the burnished wood before him and waits for his service.
You paged Winter Soldier with 'Again, if you want in, I don't mind you trying to snipe me, we're at a cafe in Paris, just make sure Colossus is fine with it'
"Hey big guy," Natasha quips at Colossus almost without looking his way, though it is tough to tell with her sunglasses on. "You workout, don't you? Why don't you slide over to my table and tell me all about it?" She offers, and as she gets a better look of his features, offers in Russian,
Colossus is taken aback by the offer, which in its directness is SO modern empowered American woman to be almost comical. The initial impression is to give a flattered, but firm denial of the request… even if, or perhaps exactly because, she's quite the looker. When the Russian comes spilling forth with perfect enuciation and without even a hint of an accent? He's ataken back, visibly so.
The chair at Natasha's table squeaks as he pulls it back, taking a seat.
Indeed, Natasha had her own, unique, direct approach about all matter of things. She sees the hesitation, but when he responds to the Russian, she smirks to herself and keeps with the language, She reaches for a sip of her espresso, before offering,
Piotr tongues at his molar in thought, The large man is seated at a table across from Romanov, hands resting on the furniture before him. They seem to be speaking in their native tongue.
Natasha laughs, pushing her small plate with the crossiant towards Piotr, . Somehow it feels like she's rather intentionally speaking in innuendo. Pulling her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose, Natasha lets Piotr have a look at her blue eyes, she offers with a playful wink.
While some might run as far from civilization as possible, others know that it's sometimes easiest to hide in plain sight. Larger cities, metropolises, have more people and they tend to mind their own business. There were other cities to go to, but Paris seemed a good choice. For now. He may need to go deeper into Europe eventually, but for now he'll stick with a familiar place where he can speak the language, if not like a native, than well enough.
Despite the pleasant weather, the twenty-something-seeming man is still wearing a long-sleeved, light jacket, his left hand in the pocket of said jacket. A baseball cap is worn low over his eyes and his hair has been pulled back in a somewhat messy ponytail. He's made his way to the a la carte section of the cafe and has purchased a couple of pastries and a coffee when the sounds of a familiar language catches his attention. There's a pause at the counter as dark eyes scan over the cafe crowd to see who might be speaking.
Colossus very slowly, almost cautiously, reaches across the table and takes a single croissant. He waves it, as if that was a proper thank you, then leans back into his chair which groans under his weight. His work, obviously, is not stand up.
He misses the arrival of the twenty-something-seeming man, which is probably exactly what the incognito agent probably wants.
Natasha muses, though she doesn't quite pester him about what he does for work, mostly because from the corner of her eye she caught a familiar cap wearing guy looking their way. She takes a sip of her espresso following a bit of the crossaint, as of yet not alerting Colossus to the fact they're being watched.
As the conversation in Russian continues, it gives the jacket-wearing man a chance to hone in on the speakers. The big guy is noted but it's the redhead who gets more of his attention. His gaze lingers before he finally turns away and back to the a la carte counter.
A couple of moments later, two cafe cremes are brought over to the table and set before Colossus and Natasha, even if they never ordered anything.
Colossus was just about to try the almond croissant when the cafe cremes are placed before him, and he finally leans back as the servant places it before them. Okay, like any man could, he fell briefly into the Widow's web of charm and good looks. Now, in such a short window, yet ANOTHER person is offering him something to ingest.
That came out more direct, didn't it?
Just as perfectly as she spoke Russian, Natasha shifts to French, She demands of the waiter, before muttering to Piotr in Russian, then her gaze turns fully to the Winter Soldier, "care to stop by and say hello properly?" She asks, her voice quite antagonizing.
The waiter pauses and offers in French, he looks up to point to the man in the baseball cap, but he's no longer there. The waiter just shrugs; he doesn't care if they drink them or not as they've already been paid for.
Piotr is, understandably, on edge now. Of both suspicion and bewilderment as it happens. Very slowly, the almond croissant is placed next to the cafe cremes with a glance in the direction that Natasha directed the question.
Natasha asks Piotr, Natasha translates in case Piotr doesn't have control of the French language. she introduces herself finally.
Piotr is silent for a good while. In reality, not that long. In a conversation when admittedly barraged with distracting questions? Eternity.
He leans back, the chair once more groaning in dismay.
Natasha speaks rather frankly with Piotr, grinning at him somewhat mischeviously, Natasha raises the question to make a point, as she rises her espresso cup, Natasha asks somewhat flirtatiously.
Piotr takes in the cafe curiously, forcing himself to make it a casual gesture. That much is true, but what better way to hide suspicion of someone but in a coating of truth. At her continued stroking of his ego, he just shakes his head. He leans forward, the very first time he has done so. She speaks three languages, fluently, as she has already shown. That was in the first five minutes!
Natasha laughs, amused at Piotr's manner, despite having a fantastic sculpted body, he was not at all like guys who look this strong and fit. She levels her gaze with Piotr through her sunglasses as he asks about her profession, and muses, she uses her original occupation in this case. Natasha often tells different things to different people, but with the Russian connection, she had to tell some truth,
It's hard to argue that Natalie does not have a physique for it. It is also hard to argue that Piotr's interest is piqued at her question, the renowned Boishoi Theatre is a name that even he had heard when he was but a young Russian boy on a rural farm. He runs his thumb along his rough palms, thoughtfully.
Natasha laughs as Piotr expresses his awe at sharing a table with a Bolshoi dancer, though truth be told, it is one of the most if not the most glamorous ballets in the world. Held in high regard. A definite glamour to it. Natasha says as she clings her cup against Piotr's she pauses to leave Piotr room to introduce himself, seeing how she introduced herself earlier. Natasha answers, tilting her head a bit and asking,
The big man says as their cups chime together. He reaches into his pocket, drawing out a small business card and a pen. It's not unusual, after all, for two consenting adults to express interest in each other and exchange means of contact. It's Paris, baby, and everyone knows it's like the city of romance. |

en | N/A | N/A | I had won the Cub Scout Pack Bowling Tournament that day. My father, the Pack’s Cubmaster, bought a nice bowling trophy and a brass plate to etch the name of the winner. He didn’t expect his son to take the trophy home. That’s what embarrassed him. So struck by the genuine joy I showed in winning it, he couldn’t bear telling me of his discomfiture until years later. My elation at the time, however, wasn’t for me. It was for my father. He taught me and my brother to bowl during frequent weekend visits to the Blasdell Bowling Academy. (Come to think of it, given his diligence at this, how could my father expect either one of us not to win?)
For years, I proudly displayed that modest trophy in the various places I’ve called home. It represented one of the few possessions I kept a close eye on during any moves I made. It sat proudly on my desk at 187 Abbott Parkway in Blasdell. It stood tall atop my antique red bookcase on 19 Dortmund Circle in Chili. It resurfaced on my desk again on 8 Dixon Woods in Mendon and on Oliver Street during my requisite years’ penance living in the City of Rochester.
So treasured is this shiny piece of plastic and brass, I guarded it carefully during the 4 weeks of homelessness (i.e., living in the basement of the friends of my parents) until my own homestead was finished in Mendon. I placed the trophy in a copy paper box and stored it firmly with a few other choice items of my youth, fully intending to display it once more in my new home.
But the move got complicated. My brother and I had to rent an empty office in downtown Rochester to store our possessions during our month of basement living. The melodrama being played out between me and the homebuilder didn’t help things. The fact I actually had to hire someone to move our belongings (how could I prevent them from breaking things?) only added to the anxiety. On top of all this, my brother’s wedding was scheduled the day after the closing date of the house.
During this windstorm of activity, everything ultimately made it to the new digs (I think). Between my job and interior design work, (and getting an MBA and starting a business and getting married…) it was only natural for some of my material to stay packed away for years. At a minimum, I remembered to stow the trophy in a secure manner and place. When I finally finished building the stained wood shelving in my den a few years into marriage, I was ready to display the trophy anew.
But, where did I put it?
I remember loading it into a box with other handmade trivia (mostly the fruit of mandatory industrial arts classes taken in middle school). I couldn’t remember just where I decided to store that particular box. I scoured the house. Nothing. I rifled through dresser drawers and desk drawers. Nothing. I even went through the two bedroom closets (now my daughters) I knew I used specifically for this type of storage. Nothing.
And so the trophy became a favorite family story, my own personal Rosebud. I never gave up looking for it, and Betsy and the kids liked to rib me about it. In fact, it got to the point where they began to question whether it really existed and whether I had even really won the thing in the first place.
Enthusiasm for this story waned, however, after Peter and I joined the adult-youth bowling league at Brongo Bowl in Honeoye Falls. Soon, and rather unexpectedly, we found ourselves up to our eyeballs in bowling trophies. Even Betsy and Catarina managed to score a first place monster during their one and only year of participation. Today, our living room corner table acts as a base for a cavalcade of bowling trophies, crowding out the memory of the one earned on that day of the solar eclipse.
It’s been more than twenty-five years since I moved into this house. No doubt only my children will see some of that stuff I packed away when Ronald Reagan led the nation. Of course, with a house this old, sometimes things start failing. The most likely source of such failure lies within the plumbing network.
And so it happened one day in March, the master bathroom starting to drip through the dining room ceiling below. Now, if you don’t know, anything involving the master bathroom is bound to be complicated, and that includes the plumbing. (I was never confident in the plumbing of the house. That’s one of the dramatic story arcs involving the builder.) Being complex, the only solution required us to cut through drywall, including a portion of the wall of my son’s closet (actually, the storage facility of my and my brother’s sports memorabilia collection – yes, my son doesn’t have a closet he can call his own).
Naturally, before we could play handyman, we had to relocate much of that memorabilia. So my son and myself, later accompanied by my brother and his younger son, began pealing back the layers of a sports card business dating back to our high school days. When we reached the bottom, beneath thousands of opened, unopened, sorted and mounted baseball and football cards, we found a trove of unrelated items, probably dating back to the original move.
There was the bright red tackle box I used to store parts, paints and tools for building Estes rockets. There was the old Dynamo box I once trade two slices of pizza for at the Erie County Fair and now filled with the tapes of all my radio shows and play-by-play broadcasts. There was a business-sized envelope containing computer printouts of two of the many stories I wrote during the final weeks of my senior year at Yale. And then,… And then,… There were two copy paper boxes with…
My old bowling trophy! The prodigal son had returned. Its two-and-a-half decades of eclipse ended. I could not contain the excitement. No doubt with the same fervor displayed when I originally won it, I danced with it throughout the house for all to see. I called everyone in my family to share the good news. Heck, I probably even Tweeted it.
As I brought the beloved trophy down to the living room to show my wife, I waited for her usual empathetic response. And waited. Her eyes darted back and forth between my 1970 award and the more recent ones consuming all that real estate on the corner table. At last, she apologetically looked up at me and queried, “Is that it?” Pausing sympathetically, she added, “But it’s so small.”

An easy solution is to use a coax cable splitter. A cable splitter allows you to take a single coaxial input and divide it into two, three or four outputs, which can all be used to run separate coax cables to different devices. A coaxial cable splitter can be installed in a manner of minutes and requires no additional tools (provided that all of your cables already have connectors on them).
- Coaxial cable splitter (two-, three- or four-output)
- One section of coaxial cable per output on the splitter
Attach additional coax cables to your splitter, tightening each against one of the coaxial cable splitter's output connections. Keeping each length of cable tied or wound will help you keep them organised until you run each to the device you wish to connect to the cable.

When this happens, your Voyager can have problems idling, but you'll mostly likely notice a significant "bucking" problem when you try to accelerate.
Clean the mating surface of the intake with carburettor cleaner and with a nylon bristled brush. This will provide a good mating surface for the new valve.

en | N/A | N/A | Showing results for tags 'joints'.
Yesterday I managed to extract myself from the busy life of Honey Do's and kids daily events and get a little time in the shop with our Claro Rocker. A week ago when I started laying out the arms ontop of the arm pads that are basically the top of the front legs, I realized I made a major mistake in my calculations for the arm rests to meet up at the proper height to the joint at the rear leg/backrest area. I was a full 1/4" too low, the joinery was not going to meet up where it was supposed to by my previously laid out joints. After much thinking and tinkering with ideas and layouts, I finally came to the conclusion that I'll simply increase the height of the arm rest by adding a 1/4" block to raise up the arm rest. Since this is walnut, the newly added pad will be un-noticeable. In some regards these rockers are un-forgiving in errors, but in many regards these rockers are also very forgiving in the sense that this is in essence a sculpted work, so errors and mis-steps often times can be carved, shaped, and filed away or to blend, and in this case, it is a forgiving error/ Images below are not exciting, they simply show my modified pad glued up to the top of the front leg pad to increase the height of the arm rest. First image shows my pad glued up and secured with my quick grips just to get them in place. One thing I like to do is save sawn cut-outs from a piece I shape so we can use them as clamping cauls, you'll notice the blocks at the bottom of the shaped arm pad, they were initially cut out for the the preliminary shaping of the arm rest block, I held on to them to use as I clamp up the arm rest to the block, but I was also able to use them in this fix for clamping cauls. Next images show the clamps all in place on both arm rests pads. Unrelated to the arm rest FUBAR, are more images showing the preliminary shaping of the front leg seat joints. I rough and blend the joints in with a 4.5" right angle grinder. But first I need to secure the chair to my bench. Next I take to grinding the general shape of the joint. As it takes shape I'll then finish it up with a combination of my ROS and some files. Image below shows the joint blended and formed, no gaps in the glue joint either, this is a successful chair joint. To reach the other side of the joint, I need to position the chair on the floor, and brace it with my legs and feet, and work on the joint from a comfortable height as I sit. The joint is not finished, but it's coming along. I use the same technique as I did with the other side of the joint in images above. Thanks for following along, now contrary to popular propositions and laws being formed and voted on, I feel these are some "joints" we can all get behind!
I'm sure glad I can learn a lot about woodworking on the internet. Here's a couple of the first few hits on "types of wood joints" I am going to practice making dovetials [sic] like this and get a good, strong joint. Seems kind of wasteful of wood, though. I will have to wait until I have some turkey legs before I can get a tendon for a mortise and tendon [sic] joint, too. They obviously stole the above from Bob Vila (or vice-versa) I think I will also make some of these very strong dovetail joints. (found at another site 8 joints you need to know) And I am going to look for some of those marvelous square profile biscuits, but I may need to change the cutter on my biscuit joiner machine. Trying to figure out the difference between a miter joint and a mitered butt joint, too. And your standard dowel joint, described as, "You’ll find dowel joints on woodworking items where visible screws or nails are not desirable, such as high-end cabinetry, bookcases, and custom stairways." This is a very attractive and strong joint that I'd expect to see on high-end cabinetry. All can say is, "Geez, glad I have 40 years experience."
What would be an easy 90 degree joint besides just screwing/nailing the two together at the ends (one overlapping the other)? Butt joints? I don't have a draw saw (whatever that japanese saw is called). I do have a jig saw and a hack saw.
After about an hour of steaming the chair posts, the joints in the box starting acting up as I expected. They expanded and warped, but surprisingly maintained a seal. The box held up wonderfully.
It's done, and delivered to the owner lastnight. It turned out really nice, the chair is nice and tight now, and I steel wooled it clean of dirt and smooted out imperfections, then I applied a very liberal coat of BLO and let dry for 15 minutes and rubbed off The next evening I rubbed it out with Liberon Black Bison Wax, this really is the final finish when it comes to any work I do. Finished work does not leave my shop without a coat of wax, the wax gives an overall warmth and eveness to the project, not too mention the Bison Wax just smells reall nice too, I love it. See the beautiful sheen and gloss on the arms and rest of the chair, that is a direct result of the waxing. You'll notice in the images in Danish Modern Part 1 you'll see some paint scratches in the wood, I braved the procedure that Mark Wisecarver had suggested but I shot down, scraping the paint off with a card scraper. It actually worked very well, just a couple light passes with the card scraper the embedded paint came right off.
I got the arms on the chair, with the help of a couple clamping jigs and some simple techniques that I never would have thought of, the arm face to the back leg face is a perfect match. I didn't get very good shots of the process, so any explanation would be futile, sorry, the clamping jigs are all on the other side, don't know why I took a pic of the glued up arm instead of the one that was being fit to be glued, duh! The above pic shows how the paper is moved back n forth, I sand one side, then flip the paper over to sand the other face, bringing both faces of the joint into perfect compliance. While sanding, I am bending the paper away from the grit, so the paper doesn't put a curved edge of the joint, destroying the joint immediately. The final fit, perfect, ready for glue up and later, shaping. |
en | N/A | N/A | i want to get the row counter for one field from Database, like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, now i have a source from database, 14 rows, after i use @OUTROWNUM in transformer stage, i get the result like this: 1 M0 2 M2 3 M3 4 M4 5 M5 6 M6 7 M7 8 M8 9 M9 1 MA 1 MB 1 MC 1 MF 1 MG @OUTROWNUM can only have number between 1 and 9 ?
membervote Your target needs to be an integer John
@OUTROWNUM is a system variable which works on Partition ,So if you are rows are scattered across partitions ,Result may match,Please check and let us know
Thanks, Seems that it is set to auto,
Here's one version of the classic formula for generating unique row numbers across multiple nodes: ((@NUMPARTITIONS * (@OUTROWNUM -1)) + @PARTITIONNUM) + 1 Note that this does NOT guarantee that there will not be any "gaps" in the number, if you are worried about that for some reason you will need to run the transformer in sequential mode as noted.
Thanks everybody, the reason is that: I set that field to be varchar with length 1, After I set it to be integer with length 2, it is ok now, I do not change transformer to be sequential, it is not needed in this case, am I right?
So now you've restricted it to 1-99 instead, but it seems like you can get away with that if your source only has 14 records. Just don't think what you've done is any kind of 'best practice'. You've never stated how many nodes you are running the job on, if that's only 1 then everything is already sequential. |

'The old place looks very gentrified,' Henry remarked as he watched the little town of his childhood slide past his backseat window.
'Would you like to see what they've done to Granny's house?' Ella asked over her shoulder.
Ella pulled the car up on the corner of their old road and the three of them got out and walked up the short but steep lane to White Water. Henry stuck his head over the garden wall. 'They've kept Poppa's palm trees going,' he said.
'I know. I stayed here for a few weeks in the summer, remember? Our old courtyard for the sandpit and bikes has gone, though. They've put in a conservatory with a pond and a fountain.'
'Oh yes,' said Henry,' I can just about see. There are a couple of people having a coffee in there.'
'They'll be the B & B guests.'
'Double glazing and plantation shutters. Granny would think that _very_ bourgeois,' Henry chuckled.
'Do you think so?' asked Ella, standing on tiptoes to get a view. 'I think she'd approve.'
Henry stepped back and rubbed the grit of the granite wall from his hands. 'Memories eh?'
'Yep,' said Ella.
'I like the big window in the attic,' said Kit. 'Is that where your grandmother had her studio?'
Ella poked him in the ribs. 'You painters. All the same. Where's the best light? Can I get a tall canvas in there? Is there enough space for my paints?'
'So it _was_ her studio?' asked Kit, fending off any more pokes by catching Ella's wrists.
'Yeah,' said Henry. 'Poppa had his space downstairs for his wheel and stuff, and the kiln was in the garden. That'll be long gone now.'
'Yeah, it is,' said Ella. 'Do you remember the excitement when we were allowed to open it up after a firing and find our pots?'
'Rubbish every one of them. But Poppa always told us they were great.' Henry smiled then rubbed his temples.
'I think your hangover needs feeding,' said Ella and she took Henry and Kit's hands in her own. 'Pizza time, boys.'
After a decent lunch, they went for a walk up to the headland and down to a small beach known only by locals and the odd inquisitive holidaymaker.
Henry picked up a slate pebble and sent it skimming across the smooth sea.
Ella counted the bounces. 'Six. My go now.'
They watched as Ella's stone bounced nine times before sinking beneath the water. Kit came up behind her and hugged her. 'Not fair. You've been getting practice in.'
'Poppa taught us. I think his record was twenty or something mad like that,' she said.
Henry sat on a damp rock and looked out to the horizon. 'We had some good summers here, didn't we, Ells?'
She'Remember how good Granny was at French cricket?'
'When she wasn't painting,' said Henry. 'We've still got her painting books and sketchpads somewhere, haven't we?'
'Yeah, they're in Clapham. The loft, I think.' She tapped her brother's knee with her knuckles. 'How is Mandalay Road?'
'Nice and quiet without you.'
She gave him a pinch. 'I didn't expect to be staying here in Cornwall.' She looked over to Kit who was staring into rock pools. 'You do like him, don't you?'
'I've known him less than a day, but I've managed to spill all the family secrets and get blind drunk with him. What is there not to like?'
'He's a nice person,' she said thoughtfully. 'I really like him.'
Kit turned from the rock pools and looked up. 'My ears are burning.'
'They should be,' laughed Henry. 'Are your intentions towards my sister honourable?'
'Not altogether,' smiled Kit, walking towards them.
Henry turned to his sister. 'And is that all right with you?'
'Very,' she said, catching Kit's hand.
That evening the three of them lay sprawled around the lounge watching a movie on Netflix, full of Ella's cottage pie that she'd had ready in the fridge. Henry was on an armchair, Kit and Ella snuggled on the sofa, when they heard a key in the lock and the familiar sound of eight dog feet, tapping on the hall floor as they rushed to the door, then a voice calling, 'The bloody roads are full of idiots! Terrible roadworks on the A38 and I'm absolutely starving.' A tall handsome man appeared at the door followed by two Afghan hounds that strolled in and flopped on the nearest rug. He surveyed the empty plates on the coffee table. 'Bugger. Have you already eaten?'
Kit and Ella jumped up. 'There's plenty left. I'll warm some up,' Ella said as Kit made the introductions. 'Adam, may I introduce you to Ella's brother Henry? Henry, this is my cousin, Adam. He's the landlord.'
Henry and Adam shook hands and Ella returned from the kitchen with a steaming bowl of cottage pie. 'Darling, sit down and eat while I give Celia and Terry their supper.'
'You're an angel.' He kissed Ella's hand as she passed him, taking the dogs with her.
'So,' said Adam, settling into his chair and blowing on a forkful of food, 'I've heard a lot about you, Henry. At last we are able to give you the once-over.'
'I rather thought I was here to give Kit the once-over, actually,' Henry laughed.
'And the verdict?' asked Adam, munching.
'We have bonded over gin and pizza,' smiled Kit. 'Anyone fancy a beer?'
Henry rubbed his chin. 'My liver is feeling a lot better, so yes please.'
'That's the spirit.' Kit went to the kitchen.
'What happened last night?' asked Adam, wiping a drop of gravy from his chin.
Henry sat back in his chair and wondered how to explain. 'I don't know if Ella has told you that we were brought up by our grandparents?'
Adam, concentrating on his food, nodded. 'Yep. Your disappearing mother has featured large over the last few months. The business of tracking her down for your grandmother's will?'
'Well, they've found her,' sighed Henry.
Adam swallowed his mouthful. 'Is that why you got hammered last night? Well, that's great.'
Henry stayed silent.
'Or is it?' asked Adam.
'Ella thinks it's great but I really want nothing to do with our mother, our grandmother's money or... anything.'
Kit came back with Ella, each carrying two cold bottles of beer. Celia and Terry loafed behind them.
Adam took his beer from Ella. 'Henry's just told me about your mum.'
Ella looked anxious. 'Her turning up? It's early days and quite difficult to get our heads round, isn't it, Henry.'
'Not yours.'
'Let's not start all that again,' said Kit.
Adam scooped up the last mouthful of cottage pie and put his plate down on the floor, pushing Terry's inquisitive nose out of it. 'So, Henry, you're staying here, are you?'
'If that's okay with you?'
'Oh, fine. I'm off again tomorrow, got a couple of weeks training in St Thomas' A & E. Serious trauma stuff in case of terror attacks. You can use my room.'
Ella saw Henry's puzzlement. 'Adam is a doctor, Henry. A very good one.'
'You can trust me,' laughed Adam.
Kit grabbed the television remote and unfroze the film they had been watching. 'Let's forget about all that tonight.' He picked up his beer and put his |

" it's a polite expression of disgust."
I disagree with your assessment of Cruz. If his aspirations are to run for the Presidency in 2016, this whole stunt hurt him badly. He can't win a Presidential election with only votes from the most conservative half of the Republican party. It's not even clear if he can win the Republican nomination without support from moderate Republicans. A lot of Republicans are very unhappy with Cruz right now. What kind of support can Cruz expect beyond states with a heavy Tea Party contingent?Is John McCain going to help him?What about Mitch McConnell?How about John Boehner?What about Republican governors?

In the USA THERE IS NO PARTY that lines up with the UK's Labour party.
Virtually every policy position staked by the UK's Labour party has been rejected by the USA's Democratic party as "socialist" as ironic as that may be.
Lacking an actual party to represent them, "liberals and progressives" usually align with the Democratic party, but are marginalized, because the "conservative" faction of the Democratic party has absolute control. Only locally does the "Labour" element (liberals and progressives in the USA) have any power or clout.
The ONLY party in the UK that matches the rapidly increasing extremism expressed by our Republican Party is the UK's Nationalist party. </s> >> ....
totally agree.it is time for the westerns to learn and know more about China,rather than accuse China all the time and prescribe china with democracy.
What is the point of election when elected are always @$$holes and idiots ?
So to realize what JFK said, government must have the power to force everyone to sacrifice something for his country.
But, this will conflict with the principle of modern understanding of human right. Also if government is given such power, it is inevitable some of government officers will abuse the power they have.
It's really horrific when mentioning Liu's suffering.
The.
It's very ironic that the Communist regime demands to be treated like an equal member of the world from the United States, which I agree, but choose to silence dissidents for demanding all Chinese be treated as equal members of China.
Someone remind me what did this guy do exactly, other than that article calling for China to be colonized? Or was that all that's need to get an European prize?
The purpose for the Prize is not to recognize the person most worthy of the prize, but is to maximize the embarrassement for the Chinese government. That was why Liu was nominated several times, but always denied of the honor until he was imprisoned.
What he did that in my opinion deserves the Peace Prize was that he negotiated a peaceful retreat of the students from TianAnMen square so that no one died there. But this fact contradicted the narrative of 6.4 martyrdom so all we know now is that he had something to do with a empty chair... maybe the one Clint Eastwood was famously talking to?
Cant think a worse insult to Nelson Mandela than this.
Greater democracy, in each country of the world, can only lead to greater international cooperation and peace.
In fact, each country has the special policy to improve competitiveness. So it's very difficult for the bystanders. So there is little point to comment others' so-called democracy.

en | N/A | N/A | Muay Thai fighter Jonathan Aiulu photographed at Corporate Box gym in Bundamba.
MUAY THAI: Ipswich fighter Jonathan Aiulustained in the second round of his fight against Thai master Sydney-based Thai Petcheawan.
Aiulu was setting the pace at a heaving Eatons Hill Hotel and looked in control when he twisted his knee 30 seconds into the round and it buckled awkwardly.
He got straight up and tried to continue but immediately collapsed.
With a raucous crowd willing him to his feet, he again rose and took up the fight on one foot but was visibly struggling.
His corner threw in the towel about 30 seconds later as the Thai looked to capitalise and attacked the injured knee repeatedly with a series of vicious kicks.
A dejected Aiulu said he could feel friends and family urging him on but his team had made the right decision.
He said it had been building to be a high quality bout prior to the setback and he wished he could have provided home fans who turned up en-masse the spectacle they craved.
“I’m really gutted,” he said.
The Brassall-based fighter said Petcheawan moved well and his experience was evident as he remained calm throughout but he felt he had his measure.
“He wasn’t forcing anything,” he said.
“He was just building up - traditional Thai style.
Aiulu said it was hoped the MRI would reveal the injury was not too serious and his manager was already trying to organise a rematch for early next year. He will allow time for his knee to recover before getting back into training at Corporate Box Ipswich.
Should the injury hinder his ability to return to Muay Thai, he will consider pursuing boxing.
Promoters Rogue Muay Thai were reportedly thrilled with the turnout to the Australia vs the World showcase.
It was not a great night for the Aussie competitors who emerged winless but a sensational atmosphere was generated by a bumper audience which savoured several entertaining fights and tag team matches.
Among the highlights was Aiulu’s Thai coach known only as Rambo answering a call-up after a late withdrawal and stepping into the ring in one of the tag team championship bouts.
Rambo’s partner was swiftly knocked out inside the first minute and he was given the option to fight on or withdraw.
There was only ever one choice for Rambo who battled on, surviving the rest of an exciting five minute round.
“He showed a lot of heart,” Aiulu said. |

en | N/A | N/A | In 2014 we decided it was time to create a place the family could visit year after year away from the rush of the city. A place where our children could experience the outdoors in a much more personal way, as Jessica and I both did growing up. We wanted to find a place where the stars were bright, the trees were tall, and the sounds were of the birds, the bees, and a running creek. We wanted something comfortable where we could enjoy a modern space while being as close to the forest as possible. And, we wanted to be close enough to a town that we could easily go out to get groceries, visit the library, and use our cell phones.
The result is a very unique 10 acre property and a custom build cabin not far from Elma, Montesano, Aberdeen, and Olympia in Washington. The cabin is build from two IBC shipping containers that journeyed the seas many times before being transformed in to a living space. I worked for months to convince Jessica that we should build a place using them. It wasn’t her first idea, though over time she came to like the uniqueness and security they would provide.
The inside of the cabin reminds me of a bright, modern, urban flat while the view from every window and french door reminds you that you are literally in the forest and no one else is around. The ceiling is much higher than you would expect from shipping containers… they are actually taller than our house in the city. The bedrooms and living area have floor to ceiling french doors letting in the natural light and bringing the forest closer to you. The bathroom has a full shower and massive mirror over the sink. The kitchen has butcher block counter-tops, a cook top, refrigerator, and large sink. The living room is spacious with two whole walls of floor to ceiling windows and just outside is a large deck where you can conveniently enjoy being outside.
The property has a year round creek with a nice pond where the salamanders, newts, and frogs grow. There are hiking trails on the property that we have cut through the ferns and if you enjoy hiking or mountain biking you can easily connect to hundreds of miles of old, untraveled logging roads in the neighboring private and state forests that cover millions of acres of land.
There is plenty of peace available on the property.
You can also venture out. Elma is nearby with a hospital, restaurants, grocery store, and the county fairgrounds and raceway. Montesano, Aberdeen, and the Washington Coast lay to the West. Olympia is to the East. There are state parks to visit. There are antiques to find. There are small towns to explore.
Come visit, you will enjoy it. |
en | N/A | N/A | offered excellent financial aid...I think the full tuition at the time was $1600. And we went for about $400.
It was a school that was well known to us through our other connections. And Princeton was well known too. I was certainly glad to be able to go to Princeton. Now of course the competition is fierce. But at the time if you went to Deerfield and got decent marks and behaved yourself up there, Frank Boyden, who really frowned on people who went to any place but Amherst, thought Amherst was the place to go, and if you were really first class you went to Amherst, which was just down the road from Deerfield.
Williams was, well, not quite outside the pale but really not quite there. And Princeton was just...why would they want to go to Princeton? That was a terrible thing to do. But he insisted that he would write a recommendation. And a recommendation from Boyden was automatic acceptance just about. I mean Princeton University may say no now but I never had any doubts that I would be able to go there.
If the Quid made the proper noises then I would get in. And I went with Arthur Close, who has been my life long friend, who was also at Deerfield. He was also from Beirut. His father was a chemistry professor at the AUB - the American University there. So that is pretty much how I went to Princeton. At the end of my Freshman year I went into the Navy.
Q: Before you say that, did you have any particular plan of study aPrinceton?
STOLTZFUS: I had always sort of two kinds of tracks in mind. One was diplomatic service because we had a number of friends in the service; we had George Wadsworth, who was a very famous curmudgeon from the old days. And he was Minister to Lebanon and Syria and they used to see each other. And then there were a couple of others, like the French Consul. The foreign community knew each other but in those days it was a much smaller group, in Aleppo or wherever it was. So I had that as one track.
And the other one was totally out in left field which was something someone talked to me about one time: vocational guidance and I guess I didn't know what vocational guidance really was. I guess if you behave yourself reasonably well you can tell other people to be good and get their lives focused and so on. I don't know why that sort of stuck in my mind as a kid. Somebody must have sat me down and talked to me about that. So that sort of rattled around in my mind.
But I finally realized I wanted to work abroad; anything foreign. I would have gone with an oil company, for example. Later on as I got older I felt an instinct to stick with my strengths. If you have a strong suit at least get yourself started in that and then if you want to branch out, fine. But the Middle East and Arab countries were areas I knew well so I figured that is where I would go, whatever the organization was. That would be the way I would tackle the first part of my career, whatever it was.
Q: You were aware of your superiority of information about the MiddlEast compared to anyone here in the United States?
STOLTZFUS: Well, nobody cared much...not even Washington cared. That was a great thing for those of us that got started in those days because nobody really cared about it. There was some interest in Israel and getting that started. There was a lot of interest in that country, as everyone knows, from 1946, a very important year for the start of Israel. So people saw the Middle East strictly in terms of Israel and its benefits.
And also of course, the oil situation. Oil was not on the front burner in the sense it is now, but certainly if anyone had been asked what our interest in the Middle East was, they probably would have included oil. But going out there at that time, you were very much on your own. Washington really didn't want any unpleasant surprises. I mean your job was to kind of keep things on an even keel and the fact that you knew the area and were crazy enough to want to go there was helpful; nobody else wanted to go there. And that was a good thing because that meant you had a chance to advance in the career in a place which you knew and which nobody else cared about. And they were awfully glad that you cared enough to do it because they certainly didn't want to.
And that way I never got out of the Foreign Service because there was always some reason to take the next step. There was alwayright where you were and not take the chances on getting in a cold world outside.
Q: No Paris or London?
STOLTZFUS: No Paris or London, where you'd be swallowed up and never seen again as far as I could tell. And the Far East was fine. Or Africa was fine but I didn't know enough about either to feel I was credible. I asked for London any number of times later and of course I didn't have enough political clout to get there. I mean I was nobody. The ones who got there were David Newsom and Hermann Eilts and those kinds of heavyweights. Those are the ones that got those jobs.
Q: When did you take the Foreign Service exam?
STOLTZFUS: I took it in Cairo in 1949, I believe. In 1949 I entered the Service and they had what was called the intern program at the time. The intern program was just an effort to have some trainees or some people or kids selected from various colleges around the country to try to get away from this concept, as I understand it, that the Foreign Service officer corps were just a bunch of WASPS from the East Coast. So they had some trainees from all over. But of course they also had some from the east. And Princeton is not exactly the boonies from the educational point of view.
Anyway, we were about 35 to 40 men and women. You had a training program and they told you about the Foreign Service and you had various courses together. And then we were assigned to certain bureaus and certain offices for three month stints.
I was in the Bureau of Public Affairs for awhile. I had to write an article on the visit of the fire chief of Mecca. The fire chief brought his son with him. I don't know exactly why the fire chief of Mecca in Saudi Arabia would be visiting the States at that time. I guess he was learning how to put out fires or something. Anyway I interviewed him and wrote a little paper. But there was nothing too much that happened in the intern program except that you did learn about the Foreign Service and it was an effort to bring in people from the outside who would not normally be on that kind of...Georgetown, Princeton, Harvard, Yale kind of circuit.
Then some of them left and went back home and some of us stayed on. And some stayed in Washington on the domestic side and some of us went into the foreign field. So my first assignment was as a foreign service staff (FSS) to Alexandria, Egypt. That was the first foreign post.
Q: Yes, Alexandria. Economic assistant?
STOLTZFUS: My job was to write routine reports like flax production reports and stuff.
Q: Good vice consul stuff?
STOLTZFUS: Yes!
Q: And you were there from?
STOLTZFUS: Not very long.
Q: Just for a year. 1950?
STOLTZFUS. Yes. Even less. I was there just a few months. Amazing what you do when you're young. ..I had the effrontery to arrive in Alexandria and meet the Consul General there whose name slips my mind now. I have a picture of him somewhere. Anyway, I had the effrontery to say, “I haven't had any vacation so I'd like to go off to visit my parents in Lebanon.” Right out of the barrel! He swallowed hard and said, “Why not?” So I left immediately for a month with my family in Lebanon. That shows how light a view I took of my career when I was young. At least I showed not too good judgment to start with. Anyway, he was very kind about it. I spent about a month in Beirut and then came back and was transferred to Benghazi from Alexandria.
Q: You were in Alexandria in 1950? Do you remember?
STOLTZFUS: I remember it was the last days of King Farouk. You had a feeling that society was pretty sick. There was the Alexandria Sporting Club for amusement. I wasn't very serious about life at that time. I was single and there were a lot of pretty girls around and a lot of tennis. And tennis and pretty girls were about all I was interested in.And the Consul General didn't take life too seriously either. So I was his |
