text: One day into his job at Goldman Sachs (GS), Alfred Feld found his name on a list of employees the firm had targeted for layoffs. Then fate, and a supportive boss, intervened. Eighty years later, Mr. Feld is still at it at Goldman. "I came so close to being fired after one day,†Mr. Feld, 98 years old, said. "I'm glad that didn't happen.†Generations of Goldman colleagues are happy he stuck it out, too. Mr. Feld (Courtesy: stern.nyu.edu)Goldman honored its longest-serving employee in July with a celebration that featured kind words from some of Mr. Feld's colleagues over the years, including the firm's chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein. Speaking during a town hall meeting for the firm's private wealth-management business, where Mr. Feld has spent a lifetime advising clients on their personal finances, Mr. Blankfein paid tribute to a career that has lived through numerous panics, crises and recessions that most Wall Street denizens have only read about. Mr. Feld spent most of his Goldman career in New York before moving to Florida. While he no longer has his own client list, he remains an ambassador for the wealth-management arm and willing adviser and mentor to colleagues who may be less than a third his age. "Wall Street has always been attractive to young people,†Mr. Blankfein said during his remarks at the town hall, which was held in the auditorium of Goldman's downtown New York headquarters. Looming above Mr. Blankfein was Mr. Feld, who joined the tribute via videoconference from the firm's Palm Beach, Florida, office. But, Mr. Blankfein added, "one thing you can't substitute is judgment and experience, and a sense of history.†Few financial advisers have ever accumulated as much as Mr. Feld, who began his career at Goldman in 1933 — when, Mr. Blankfein noted, the nation's unemployment rate stood at 25%. "What can I say?†he said. "Keep it up. You're just starting to get it right. "Keep improving and one day, son, this will all be yours.†http://finance.yahoo.com/news/meet-the-man-who-has-worked-at-goldman-for-80-years-150407976.html

Ah, who am I kidding. Of course they are. Because corrupt government has decided that it can do as it pleases.

Armed with better detectors, border guards will demand a bigger cut from money launderers.
Which, you would think, would solve the problem of import of the cocaine and export of the money.
Of course, the problem becomes when you suddenly start finding CEOs and politicians jetting off to the Caymans with suitcases full of money they haven't declared.
When bills are put through high speed money sorter/counters, one bill used to snort cocaine can put tiny amounts of cocaine on thousands of other bills.
Due to the chemical nature of cocaine, it can be detected in immensely small concentrations- far smaller than even the best dog can detect.
Neck beard and a superiority complex
Problem here is they are not looking for anything that is evidence of a crime. It is legal to carry money over the border up to a certain amount so, the smell of money doesn't actually indicate any crime, and isn't evidence of any crime.
Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to justify expenditures on cool new technology which will be quickly mothballed after its found to be useless or ruled by the courts to not be justification for extra scrutiny.
Think harder. Large pile of bills will have gasses in higher concentration. hundreds or thousands of bills are not normal, they can check out individual cases of those.
If it can't tell the difference between $9999 and $10,000 then its not good enough in my book. Then again, I can't think of any good reason to limit the cash people can travel with. However, protecting people from unreasonable search is more important by far than anything they are otherwise triying to do...it is supposed to be, one of their highest priorities!
There's no limit on how much cash you can carry across the border - you just need to declare it if you have over $10k.
Seems the point still remains, if it can't tell the difference between 1 unit less than 10k and 10k or more, then its a useless test; and certainly not specific enough to expose someone to the very real dangers of extra scrutiny.
That's what the TSA agent told me about 5 times while searching my carry on bag on the jet-way while other passengers struggled past and gawked at me. Also that if I didn't declare I had cash in there, they'd seize it.
Her dog looooooved my bag. Unfortunately it didn't have any money in it, just residual dog from my friend's house.
So yeah, I just hope this device is more accurate than the pups
That wasn't TSA, it was CBP (Customs and Border Patrol).
But less than 10k is not illegal and even quite common, as in, you can pretty much expect everyone is carrying some amount. As such, everyone should be expected to be putting off these gasses. So basically....this is just a prop that can be used to justify a search on anyone they want to search but don't want to give the real reason.
Problem here is they are not looking for anything that is evidence of a crime. It is legal to carry money over the border up to a certain amount so, the smell of money doesn't actually indicate any crime, and isn't evidence of any crime.
Won't stop them from seizing it anyway.
Or, we could make it not illegal to, you know, carry large wads of cash, deposit huge amounts of money in your bank account, etc.
Or we could vacuum pack the bills, and fold that up into the money belt or suitcase.
I fully support making it legal to not do the paperwork. In fact, I fully support making it a felony for a border agent to even ask how much money you have on you.
Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to justify expenditures on cool new technology which will be quickly mothballed after its found to be useless or ruled by the courts to not be justification for extra scrutiny.
The scary thing is, that's my best case scenario. Worst case? It's used for witch hunts. We have warrantless spying now, do you think they'll put this down once it's pushed back by a court? Maybe it won't be used in court, but just enough to justify "extra scrutiny" of someone, put them on a watchlist
The result of the puritanical and hypocritical war on drugs has been countless lives lost, Billions and Billions spent on fruitless efforts and a strengthening of criminal gangs and terrorist groups which aren't shy about using thuggery and corrupting law enforcement and the government in order to make money. People suffer and as long as nobody is committing fraud in what they are selling, then people should be able to buy whatever rat poison they want and do with it what they want. People have a right to their own bodies. When drug use gets out of hand then civil commitment and medical care are what is needed, not police, courts and jails.
Decriminalization isn't good enough; legalize them.
If you did that, where would the NSA get their secret funding, and how much more would we need to increase various enforcement budgets that are largely financed by seized assets?
It turned out that the gases are a set of trace chemicals, including aldehydes, furans and organic acids.
No! Gases are chemicals! Who knew!
most of it laundered drug money
... What do bitcoins smell like?
I'm far more concerned, whether the smell of my honestly-earned money is any different from that of the laundered drug proceeds. I suspect, the smell is exactly the same and, should I ever choose to cross the border with substantial cash, these devices will point me out. A major loophole in American (and English) legal system, allows seizure of "suspect" assets [wzzm13.com] even if the person himself can not be arrested.
Now, why would an honest citizen need to carry his cash with him?.. Oh, well...
> Now, why would an honest citizen need to carry his cash with him?.. Oh, well...
That certainly seems to be the attitude of the aristocracy here. Maybe they should ask the 78 year old German woman who was caught traveling with $40k on her person.
Thank god these thugs are out there...protecting us from old women who don't trust banks! Just think what might have happened if she hadn't been caught. I, for one, am glad our jack booted border enforcers have no fear of the geriatric maffia. Kudos to them for s
Actually she did fill out the form. Its just that the number she gave verbally didn't match. I don't know about you, but I consider it unreasonable to expect people to be able to randomly come up with and remember numbers like that since... well I know a lot of humans and evidence shows its something most of us are terrible at....and many people at the age of 78 have particular trouble with.
And...well...fuck the law. There is no reason for this law, I personally judge it unjust and personally hold that against every person who chooses to continue doing a job that involves enforcing such a law. In my eyes they are the criminals and she is innocent.
Or she could have obeyed the law and filled out the one page form
And there is nothing wrong with mandatory ID-carrying either, is there? "Papers please" much?
If you're traveling with more than $10k, you just have to fill out one form declaring it.
If you're traveling with more than $10k, you just have to fill out one form declaring it.
I believe, that requirement — whatever its Constitutionality — applies only to people arriving into the US, not leaving. Indeed, you aren't declaring anything upon leaving — neither the Customs nor Border Patrol have anything to do with passengers departing.
Also, it was introduced, when $10k meant a lot more money, than it does today. I don't know, when, exactly, but I do remember seeing it on the Cus
That's a customs form for people arriving with money. There is a related form for leaving the country. It's the same one you get when withdrawing more than $10k in cash from a bank, or even buying into a blackjack table. It just documents your identity so that if that money ends up as part of a money laundering scheme, the feds can find you.
There is a related form for leaving the country.
I was never asked the question of how much cash I'm carrying. Nor have I ever — in 20+ years of being an American — been made aware of having to declare such sums.
withdrawing more than $10k in cash from a bank
What if it is simply my savings — stored in a jar?
if that money ends up as part of a money laundering scheme, the feds can find you
That's a good argument to have one's DNA registered — at birth. In case it ever ends up inside a rap
Hook up the Food Saver or VacuVita to a bag full of stacked, tied bills. Then put the whole vacuum-packed, heat-sealed bag into your suitcase lining, hidden compartment, or money belt.
Are vacuum packages that tight?
I would have always thought yes -- I have a Food Saver and it works miracles for food storage, especially meat in the freezer. But I could swear I've read that drug dogs smell right through them, even double-bagged, which seems to be kind of weird. I would assume that holding a decent vacuum would prevent anything from escaping.
Just put those sniffers in every HSBC branch. Or better yet, put those sniffers in the HSBC corporate boardroom. The "money laundering" they want to stop is happening at the upper levels of management, and yet, not a single banker will *ever* go to jail for laundering.
Instead, the bank will pay some measly fine which won't even be 10% of what they made doing the crime. Crime absolutely pays and pays big, assuming you're already a multi-billion-dollar corporation that can buy politicians, buy law enforcement
Um, HSBC _is_ a foreign bank.
The real solution, of course, is to legalize marijuana nationally, thus drying up demand for the cartels main cash crop.
But oh, we can't do that, because it would put so many DEA agents and overpaid government contractors out of work!
So, they come up with not-even-half-assed solutions that sound good in a press release, and end up being nothing more than yet another tool of citizen subjugation over the long run.
But oh, we can't do that, because it would put so many DEA agents and overpaid government contractors out of work!
Not to mention a large number of private companies that own and operate prisons for the government. For those companies, mo' "criminals" = mo' money.
Step 1. Buy Money Sniffer and position near highway.
Step 2. Advertise free "crossing guaranteed" inspections.
Step 3. Distract driver with free WiFi and coffee while source of odor is removed.
Step 4. Profit!
Is that in addition to the 20+ billion in remittance sent over from the US to Mexico??

Do Euros smell the same as USD?
Just employ strippers as border patrol agents. They have an uncanny ability to sniff out money. They might even get the smugglers to voluntarily turn over some of it.
If it smells like Tide and fabric softener, it must be laundered money.
And interesting specific yet easy to detect substances
could be added to money to make it easy to track from
one place to another. Each of the 12 reserve banks could
use a unique easy to detect substance....
One step beyond serial number records... and one step

Refactoring in progress; DCL now supports only PHP5
I've begun refactoring DCL so the code is a little more organized with the goal that it will be easier to develop new features and maintain the existing ones. This mainly involves moving existing code into somewhat of an MVC architecture. It's not using any MVC framework and is still using the front controller. I've removed all CreateObject references and replaced with good ol' new and __autoload. Because of this and adding other new things like exceptions, DCL will now be PHP5 only. This will save some of my sanity since I can now have some intellisense when developing.

In Bill I trust.
The Patriots coach is the equivalent of football fracking, squeezing every last natural resource out of his teams year after year. Last season, he coaxed and cajoled a team with a pass defense that should have come with a tourniquet to within 3 minutes and 46 seconds of a Super Bowl championship. This season, he has a more fertile talent pool to tap in pursuit of Lombardi Trophy No. 4.
There are myriad reasons the Patriots won't lose to the Houston Texans on Sunday at Gillette Stadium in the AFC divisional playoffs, but the presence of Bill Belichick glowering and scheming on the Patriots' sideline is as pertinent as any of them. That isn't a check mark in the advantage column for the Patriots next to coaching. It's an exclamation point.
Belichick matching wits with Texans coach Gary Kubiak is one of the biggest mismatches of the playoffs. It's like pitting General Patton against General Mills.
It's a coach with 17 playoffs wins, tied for third-most all time, and three Super Bowl rings against a coach who has a pair of postseason victories — both over the Bengals.
It's a coach who is a master of adjustments and tweaks against a guy who coaches at times as if he's reading from an instruction manual that's telling him how to set the clock on his microwave.
It's a coach with the conviction to go for it on fourth and 2 in Indianapolis against a guy who is so superstitious he can't even bear to watch his team's own field goal attempts, turning his back.
Kubiak has taken the nascent Texans franchise to unreached heights, back-to-back AFC South titles. Kudos to Houston for not tossing him aside like a disposable razor and letting him reach a seventh season. There is a lesson there for the rest of the trigger-happy franchises in the NFL.
But he is one of those offensive-minded coaches who gets lost in his laminated play sheet. The stadium could be engulfed in flames and these guys are staring into their play sheet like it contains the meaning of life.
When the Patriots crushed the Texans, 42-14, on Dec. 10, Kubiak buried his face in the laminated card while his team came unglued around him.
They say teams take on the disposition of their coaches.
Contrast the way the Texans responded — or didn't really — to going down, 21-0, that night to how Belichick's Patriots fought back the very next week when they were placed in a 31-3 hole by the San Francisco 49ers.
The Texans, shocked and awed by the Patriots, took their varsity lettermen jackets and mentally began boarding the bus. The Patriots, determined and resolute, clawed back to tie the game at 31 before falling, 41-34.
More alarming than the Texans' loss to the Patriots was its hangover effect. They were 11-1 before facing the Patriots and finished 12-4.
No front-runner has fallen on their face this bad since Howard Dean guttural screamed his way out of the 2004 Democratic presidential race.
All the Texans had to do to clinch a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs was win either of their final two games against Minnesota and Indianapolis.
Does anyone think a Belichick team would have blown two shots to clinch home field like that?
There has been a lot of agita in these parts about the potential for a scenario similar to 2010, when the Patriots lost in the divisional round at home to the New York Jets, 41 days after they had dismantled the NYJ by a 45-3 count on a Monday night.
There will be no sequel to that playoff annus horribilis.
Teams that beat the Patriots and coaches that outfox Belichick are those who are unafraid — of the Patriots' mystique, of Belichick's tactics, of changing what they do. Think the Harbaugh Boys, Tom Coughlin, and Rex Ryan.
In the case of Kubiak, that's not the case.
"My approach, when you play Bill, his football team is such a great organization and well-coached team, I don't think you ever know exactly what you're going to get," said Kubiak. "They're a veteran football team that is able to get a lot done from week to week and game plan-wise. You could get a lot of things obviously that you're not going to practice or haven't seen on film . . . I don't think you look at one film and say, 'OK, this is what we're going to do.' I think you have to do what you think you do best and go out there and perform."
The Patriots devour teams that simply "do what they do." You might as well e-mail your game plan to Belichick. If Belichick and Tom Brady know what is coming, and you've given them an extra week to prepare, checkmate.
It was interesting this past week that Belichick said that Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was basically running the same system he had in 2000, when he was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
"This isn't the most complicated team we've ever seen, but what they do they do well," said Belichick.
That's called Belichick-ing with faint praise.
His Hoodiness was on the war path this week — literally. He has referenced foxholes and Navy SEALs in talking about his approach to the Patriots' first game of this postseason.
According to reports, Belichick has put Vaseline, baby powder, water, and other substances on footballs this week to emphasize the importance of holding on to the football.
He is leaving no stone unturned, no motivational ploy unused. He is taking no chances.
He knows that the only thing that can stop the Patriots against the Texans is the Patriots themselves.
I trust that Belichick won't let that happen.Christopher L. Gasper is a Globe columnist and the host of Boston Sports Live. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @cgasper.

Andrew Shaw broke a tie with one of Chicago's three third-period goals, and the NHL-leading Blackhawks cooled off the Dallas Stars with a 5-2 win at United Center.
Marian Hossa sealed Chicago's sixth straight victory with an empty-net tally in the final minute and added two assists.
Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews had a goal and a helper, while Ray Emery improved to 16-1-0 this season with a 16-save effort.
"You kind of feed off of the energy of the guys around you, and every night it's different guys," Emery said of his strong play. "Lately it's been a consistent effort by most guys on the ice. It's really exciting being a part of that and gearing up for the playoffs."
Jamie Benn supplied both goals for Dallas, which had its winning streak halted at five games. Richard Bachman stopped 23 shots in the setback that leaves the Stars two points out of a playoff spot.
"We kept it close, but we definitely know what we have to do to be the best and beat the best," Benn said. "Hopefully we can just keep pushing here. We still have a chance to make the playoffs and that's what we're going for."
The Blackhawks built a 2-0 lead before the Stars rallied behind Benn. His second marker tied things up 3:07 into the third period. A turnover by Chicago in the neutral zone led to Benn taking a drop pass from Ray Whitney and beating Emery on the glove side.
Shaw quickly countered for the Blackhawks, firing a shot from the right circle past Bachman at 4:31.
Niklas Hjalmarsson doubled Chicago's advantage with a slap shot at 7:46.
Toews tipped a Hossa shot behind Bachman at the 12:54 mark of the first period.
Viktor Stalberg beat Bachman at 12:14 of the middle stanza, which Benn answered 1:58 later.
Game Notes
Dallas last won six games in a row March 2-13, 2002 ... The Stars have lost four straight to Chicago.

DWF (Digital Wedding Forum) is having me as one of the 15 speakers for their annual convention. What's pleasant about an intimate group is that there will be no overlapping in speakers.
In a nutshell, I will be speaking about building trust through social proof. Powerful stuff! Hope to see you there!
After the convention, I will be making my updates to this post.

HORSHAM Rural City Council has taken a step into the future with the opening of a new landfill site at Dooen.
The first load of rubbish was delivered to the site on Wednesday.
Council's operations engineer Martin Duke said the new landfill site had been in planning for the past three to four years.
"We are absolutely rapt to have it fully operational for the first time," he said.
"Council's former technical services manager David Eltringham recognised years ago the old landfill on the south side of Ladlow's Road was reaching capacity so we started the process with landowners and getting due permits in place for the new site.
"It was a very lengthy process and rightly so you can't have rubbish being dumped anywhere.
"During that process we found we could put more in the old site and therefore gained more time than we thought.
"Council itself has been very patient with the process."
Mr Duke said previously council had to ensure landfill was level, but new requirements were to mound the landfill so there were no pools of water that could infiltrate the rubbish underneath.
"Because of the mounding we have another few years of air space at the old site," he said.
"We had to put a liner on the new site and put a layer of rubbish over that to cover it. We will use it for about three to six months and then go back to the old site for another two years or so and finish filling that up."

Andy Reid was the biggest 13 year old in the history of mankind.
I might be a little late on this since I didn't see the broadcast live, but I just watched (in amazement) the clip that CBS showed of Reid participating in the Punt, Pass and Kick competition back in 1971.
It's posted below.
My question is this: Is it really possible that Reid was that much bigger than the rest of the 13 year olds? I remember having big kids in my class in the seventh grade, but nobody was that big.
Friend and loyal blog reader MC has a possible theory: Maybe Reid was the last competitor in his age group, and the kids behind him are from the younger age group.
Thanks to The 700 Level for the clip.

MUSCAT, Oman (AP) -- Peter Sagan of Slovakia consolidated his overall lead at the Tour of Oman on Wednesday by finishing with a late burst to win a second straight stage.
The Cannondale rider finished the 118-mile trek from Nakhal Fort to Wadi Dayqah Dam in 5 hours, 6 minutes, 28 seconds.
Two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium, French cyclist Tony Gallopin and Marco Marcato of Italy were next.
Sagan holds a 16-second lead over Gallopin and a 26-second advantage over Van Avermaet to strengthen his grip on the leader's red jersey.
"My teammates did a great job of supporting me and this win is the deserved award of their efforts," Sagan said. "I remembered the last kilometers of the stage and my idea was to attack on the last ascent. What was unknown was what my competitors were thinking. Here at the Tour of Oman there are a lot of champions with different characteristics, each one could anticipate and try to attack. I'm really satisfied with this win, especially the way in which I got it."
The pack remained bunched up until the final stretch. With 4.4 miles to go, Australian rider Brett Lancaster went out first but was caught by a pack led by teams SKY and Cannondale. Heading up to the finish over the last 800 meters, Sagan made his move and hung on to the lead to the line.
It was another difficult day for Tour winner Bradley Wiggins, who finished 89th and 97 seconds behind Sagan. SKY teammate and Tour runner-up Christopher Froome dropped to 13th place overall, 36 seconds back from Sagan.
"Cannondale set a brutal pace up there and it was more like an uphill sprint that anything else," SKY sports director Nicolas Portal said. "Froomey wasn't able to follow the likes of Sagan, (Philippe) Gilbert and (Nacer) Bouhanni, so he maintained a steady tempo and then emptied the tank on the run in to the line. That was the plan and we executed it well. It's never nice to drop out of the top 10 but it's tomorrow's stage which is going to prove pivotal, and Froomey is in a great position heading into it."

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidelines for Citing BEA Information | ID: 1017 | Created: Jan-29-2013
In the fourth quarter 2012, an atypical number of companies paid special and/or accelerated dividends. Users of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) will see the impact on the estimates of personal income released on January 30, 2013. The effect of these dividends payments on undistributed corporate profits will be seen when BEA releases its estimates of corporate profits for the fourth quarter of 2012 on March 27, 2013. It is important to note that the estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) will not be affected because these dividend payments do not represent income associated with current period production of goods and services. Similarly, the estimate of gross domestic income, which is conceptual equivalent to GDP, will not be affected. However, the NIPAs include a number of detailed accounts, such as the personal income and outlays account and the government receipts and expenditures account, which are affected by dividend payments.
The NIPAs include estimates of net dividends paid by corporate business, derived as the difference between dividends paid by corporations less those received by corporations. Net dividends paid are subtracted from profits before tax to derive undistributed profits. The NIPAs also include estimates of the value of these dividends distributed to persons, government, and the rest of the world.
Estimates of dividend payments to persons are derived using a three-month moving average of data on dividend payments provided in publically available corporate financial statements. A three-month moving average is used in order to minimize volatility related to changes in the mix of companies reporting from month to month. In the event that special or accelerated dividend payments are known to have been paid out, BEA makes an adjustment to its normal methodology to ensure that the special dividend payments are recorded in the actual month they are paid out. It is worth noting that monthly estimates of dividends received by persons in the NIPAs will differ from source data because the components of the NIPAs are presented at annual rates.
For more information regarding the special and accelerated dividends paid in the fourth quarter of 2012 please see the "Technical Note" that BEA issues concurrently with each of the quarterly GDP releases.
For more information regarding the impact on personal income of special and accelerated dividends paid in the fourth quarter of 2012 please see BEA's "Personal Income and Outlays, January 2013" report released on March 1, 2013.

Thanks for posting this C Mart.

Suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's remains have been buried in Central Virginia.
Tsarnaev's remains were buried at the Al-Barzakh Cemetery. The small Muslim cemetery is located off Route 725 in Doswell and claims to be the first Muslim cemetery in Central Virginia on its website. The site is located in Caroline County, just over the line from Hanover County.
Full coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings
Caroline officials say they were unaware the remains were buried in Doswell. Virginia State Police also did not know the burial took place.
Tsarnaev's remains arrived at Peter Stefan's funeral home last Friday, where protestors and the media soon descended. Officials in at least three other states refused to accept the remains. One proposal to bury them at a Massachusetts state prison failed Tuesday.
The Watertown Chief of Police sent out an appeal for help finding a final resting place for the remains. A "compassionate individual" came forward Thursday, in the form of a Richmond woman.
Martha Mullen started working with local faith leaders in and around Richmond on Tuesday to find a permanent resting place for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a police shooting on April 19. Mullen worked with representatives of the United Methodist church she belongs to, as well as to representatives from local Muslim, Jewish and Hindu communities.
"Jesus tells us 'love your enemies'," said Martha Mullen in a press release. "Not to hate them even after they are dead."
Tsarnaev was killed April 19 in a shootout with police in Watertown, four days after the Boston Marathon bombings.

Saying prayers for everyone's needs.
Kay, I'm so sorry your family is going through all the problems with your grandpa. Hope they can help him feel better.
:( Tons of prayers going out for Robin, too.
Robin is always in my thoughts. I love her as if she was a part of my family.
I talked to Robin and she asked me to tell you all hello and she's thinking of you.
DITTO! ;)Quote:

Robin was going to give that idea a try.
Send some PT Prayers for both an early release and/or a Doggie Visit by the FurKids.
/s/ Phred
A special thanks to those that called me. It was such a special treat and everyone couldn't believe all the phone calls that I was getting and from all over the states too. You guys are the best!
If you haven't figured it out I'M HOME! Yes, I talked me way right out of there. It wasn't too great of a homecoming though. My son brought me home and was a bit upset because he thought they were releasing me too early. Maybe they did, but I sure as heck don't care. Then we get to my house to find my soon to be ex-Husband loading up the truck and he was quite surprised to see us pull up and block his exit. Let's just say that all hell broke loose and now I'm a little beat up and now I feel like I should be in the hosptial..lol. I'm ok though. Call the police. Not too much can be done except take out a restraining order, which apparently I have to do through my divorce lawyer and which is going to cost me $1500. So now I have to borrow money from my parents. Thats not fun at all.
Anyway, enough about that. Please continue to keep me in your prayers because I really really need them. I am not feeling too good about myself right now.
Of course you are still in our prayers, Robin! Just keep repeating "This too shall pass", cause it will. And go enjoy those beautiful fluffy girls of yours! You are the most wonderful person on earth in their eyes, and their unconditional love will help you get thru this. They're in your life cause God knew you were gonna need some extra lovin! Take care, my friend. Call or pm me anytime.
Robin, I am so sorry he hurt you. ((((hugs)))) going out to you. Glad you are home though. Feel better! :D
Robin...if nothing else, I hope that what your ex has done has helped you realize that he is total poison for you!
Please keep getting outpatient help - to recover from a toxic marriage takes time, and doesn't happen overnight!

I sitll am having a hard time and it is hard to accept that this is who he is now. but I finally do know that I have to accept it.
Again, I continue to cry and I so wish that would stop. Both of my corneas are infected and the doc thinks that all the crying with my contacts in might have led to that. So now I can't even wear my contacts and my glasses are so old...lol. Hopefully the corneas will clear up soon. I just feel like I'm beat up all over.
Thanks again Everyone!
Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way, Robin. You certainly don't deserve everything he has put ou through, but it will get better and we are all here for you!
Robin - if you can, treat yourself to some new snazzy glasses! HUGS to you again.
When you were in hosp, did they make arrangements for counselling or follow-up care?
(Sounds like you finally got ANGRY...and there is a common thought about depression being anger turned inside... ;) )
Robin, you'll remain in my thoughts and prayers. Things will get better. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Inman's Josh Miller leads the Teutons to a 39-28 victory over Marion
Inman's Josh Miller must have felt like he was running against air.
The Teutons' standout running back unloaded for 282 yards on 31 carries and scored five touchdowns to lead them to a 39-28 victory over Marion Friday night.
Miller has gone over the century mark in each of the first four games.
It was the third win in four games for first-year coach Mike Vernon's Teutons and they were able to eclipse last year's victory total.
"I was really proud of the effort," Vernon said. "They were able to overcome some adversity and never gave up. I'm just so proud of them."
Justin Friesen also scored and finished with 58 yards. Tyler Cottam had 62 yards, while Cody Seiler had a big defensive game with 11 tackles and an interception.
Little River 72,
Central Christian 28
The Redskins played their JV in the second and third quarters after nearly ending the game in the first half, up 44-6.
Scoring was not available. Coach Paul Dold said he was pleased his team was able to keep its focus even though the outcome was evident from the outset.
Dylan Karraker and Klayton Fielding were lauded for their play at linebacker, while Justin Nelson was credited with a good game to key the offensive line.
The victory improved the Redskins to 4-0.
Peabody 38,
Canton-Galva 8
The Eagles gave up a lot of experience and size, yet hung tough for a half, down just 8-0.
Peabody's maturity in the end was the difference, as it gradually pulled away.
Canton-Galva coach Jeff Savage, whose team played without injured starting quarterback Cody Savage, was proud of the way his team hung in before finally getting worn down.
Tanner Klingensmith, who was 14 of 23, threw a TD pass to A.J. Medley for the lone Eagle touchdown.
It was Canton-Galva's first loss after three wins.
Bennington 42,
Moundridge 41
Moundridge scored with 16 seconds left in the game, but failed on the 2-point conversion to fall to 0-4 on the year.
It was a wild game throughout, as MHS trailed 14-13 at the half and then in the fourth quarter, both teams scored three times.
Garrett Higgins had a nice game in defeat for the Wildcats, running for two scores and throwing for two more. He had a double-double with 107 yards passing and 103 yards rushing. Colby Badman added 92 yards rushing on just seven carries.
Bennington pounded out 325 yards on the ground and 260-pound fullback B.J. Glanton was a load with 187 yards on 26 carries.
Haven 21,
Smoky Valley 13
In what had to be classified as an upset, Haven stunned Smoky Valley, handing the Vikings their first loss of the year after three wins.
Haven used an interception return as a kick-start in the first quarter and led 14-0 at the half.
Ethan Loder scored on a 14-yard run and Jarod DeMott added an eight-yarder for the Vikes.
Haven ran the ball well, with 195 yards.
Smoky had 152 yards, led by Loder with 80.


text: One of the many inconguencies encountered migrating from an Apache2 httpd.conf under RH(FC1) Linux : Code: Scripting is disabled for VHost [ApacheMain], access denied I can't find anywhere in the server/vhost setup that lets me specify a 'scripting enable", or that lets me specify whether or not PHP is activated. Before I'd enabled the ApacheMain on the Default listener, I had run the phpinfo() off the Example vhost, and it worked just fine. So PHP is there, and it works, it's just not there for this ApacheMain migrated config. Other install inconguencies: Allow/Deny were left empty by the install, this apparently implies 'Deny ALL' as the ApacheMain vhost returned only 403 errors default logging places the vhost logs under /var/www/html??? that's like, publishing my access/error logs to the world??? /opt/lsws/conf becomes owned by 'root', but the port-7080 admin listener runs as 'nobody' so all these conf files owned by root are not writable, and that means you set vhost settings over and over banging your head against it because it shows on the admin page as changed, but won't really change until you manually change these conf file and dir ownerships to 'nobody' now that the conf files are owned by 'nobody', any hacker PHP scripts that manage to slip by, eg if the PHP is inadvertently left with SAFE-MODE disabled, can read/write/delete your configuration. Shouldn't config files be owned by root? the default session timeout is way too short; by the time I've read a help page, it's timed out -- where is this set? Maybe the help pages could use a concept index? I eventually re-found this one, under the third admin realm -- which is logical since this only applies to the webmin interface, but it still shouldn't be set on a default as short as 5 minutes. It's also a good thing the install sets it, because the no-value default, according to the help pages, is a scant 1 minute!! somewhat related, what's with the 10-digit random (timestamp?) number on the admin realm? Totally frustrates using Firefox to remember and fill in the admin password and while I can see that as a feature for a site where the admin's desktop machine is an open-access terminal, I'm under Unix, nobody uses my machine (or my browser) unless they have my password, and if they have that, I'm screwed anyway. Since a bug is a feature that cannot be turned off, this seems like a bug.

Greedy union idiots kill another iconic company of my youth...
By RACHEL FEINTZEIG
Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of iconic treats such as Twinkies and traditional pantry staple Wonder Bread, is shuttering its plants and liquidating its 82-year-old business.
A victim of changing consumer tastes, high commodity costs and, most importantly, strained labor relations, Hostess ultimately was brought to its knees by a national strike orchestrated by its second-largest union.
The work stoppage, launched Nov. 9 by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union to protest a fresh labor contract, affected about two-thirds of Hostess's 36 plants. The strike was making it impossible for the Irving, Tex., company to continue producing its baked goods, Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn said.
The CEO, a restructuring professional who ascended to the top of the company after its former leader abruptly resigned earlier this year, said the liquidation will take months but require few workers.
Thanks to the greed of union workers, the snacks I grew up with are gone forever.....along with their 18,000 jobs.

On the main website I have the following information.
An American black & white film starring Clark Gable, Lana Turner, Frank Morgan, Claire Trevor and Chill Wills. MGM purchased the rights to the book, The Reign of Soapy Smith, by William Ross Collier and Edwin Victor Westgate and transcribed into a cinema play by Ann Lee Whitmore and Tom Sellers, with Clark Gable playing the lead (L.A. Times, 04/29/1940. p. 8). The film was to be about Soapy, but according to Jeff, his grandfather, Soapy's son, (Jefferson Randolph Smith, III) threatened to open a lawsuit against MGM if they used his father's name and story.
Soapy's son still had rights over usage of his father's name. Rather than scrap the movie, which had already begun filming, MGM just changed the names around. Soapy Smith became Candy Johnson, a con man, played by Clark Gable. Candy Johnson, tired of running from town to town, sets his mind to have a town of his own. A very fun film with great comical dialogue and a few shootouts thrown in for flavor.
At the start of the film there is a beautiful rendition on three-card monte, the game that was instrumental in the real Soapy's death. In the film Gable, as Mr. Johnson, for the sake of a woman, decides to use his huckstering skill to build a small-town church, but soon he's up to his old tricks, again, managing a dance hall and gambling emporium. There is a happy ending.
In the past there were questions regarding how I knew that Clark Gable was actually playing Soapy so I included the following newspaper clippings.
By Douglas Churchill Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 28, 1940--Clark Gable will play the lead in "Soapy Smith," which Pandro S. Berman will produce for Metro, the studio announced. The story, based on "The Reign of Soapy Smith," by Edwin Victor Westrate and William Ross Collier, deals with the ...
LOS ANGELES TIMES, April 29, 1940--Clark Gable will be the star in one of the earliest pictures produced by Pandro Berman for the M.G.M. studio. The film scheduled for this star features Soapy Smith, one of the characters celebrated in early Colorado history. "The Reign of Soapy Smith," written by William Ross Collier and Edwin Victor Westgate, has been purchased by the studio and will be transcribed into a cinema play by Ann Lee Whitmore and Tom Sellers, two of the younger writers at the establishment.

Adam 'MCA' Yauch Discussed Cancer and Treatment in 2009 Video
Everybody knows that Beastie Boy Adam Yauch succumbed to cancer on Friday (May 4), but fewer seem to know exactly what he was up against. The rapper's three-year battle began in 2009 with a rare diagnosis: he had malignant tumors in the parotid gland, one of the salivary glands near the jaw and the ear, that had spread to the nearby lymph node. Not the best news, but he remained hopeful.
A week before undergoing treatment, Yauch posted a YouTube video (watch it below) disclosing his diagnosis to fans and discussing his treatment. "The good news is that they did scans of my whole body, and it's only localized in the one area, it's not in a place that effects my voice — so that's nice, thats' convenient," Adam Yauch says in the 2009 clip, supposedly his last video interview. "It's a bit of a setback, it's a pain in the ass. But this is something that's very treatable and in most cases they're able to completely get rid of it."
Yauch underwent surgery to remove the affected gland and was treated with localized radiation. By January 2011, bandmate Mike D was reportedly telling BBC Radio 1 that Yauch had won his cancer battle, calling it "a good thing" and that saying "we're really happy about it."
But less than a week later, Yauch issued an email statement saying that despite reports of his recovery, he was still sick. "While I'm grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated," he wrote. "I'm continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future."
By then, Yauch had started eating an all-vegan diet and was discussing non-Western treatment options with doctors in Tibet. In retrospect, it seems that the practicing Buddhist knew his his recent treatment had failed and was looking for other options. Unfortunately for Yauch, his family, his bandmates, his friends and his fans, he never quite found the right ones.

With all the speculation coming out of Rome about who the next pope will be, an unexpected name has been thrown into the papal mix: Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, archbishop of Boston.
With at least three weeks to go before the cardinals convene and begin the process of picking Pope Benedict XVI's successor, handicappers among the Italian media have thrown out Cardinal O'Malley's name among the many darkhorses in the field from which the 117 princes of the church will select.
O'Malley would seem an unlikely choice for many reasons. First of all, he's from the United States, the dominant economic and military power on earth, although some may say that distinction has been eroding over the last several years, thanks to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus our intractable financial mess. That slow decline would actually work in his favor, since the body of cardinals would undoubtedly be reluctant to bestow more authority -- albeit religious -- on the lone remaining superpower.
In fact, O'Malley isn't even among the favorites in North America. That honor goes to Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. Dolan, 62, the current archbishop of New York City, who was named by Time magazine in 2012 as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World."
And then there's Cardinal Marc Ouellet, 68, of Quebec, Canada. Currently the head of the Congregation for Bishops at the Vatican, published reports have indicated he has no desire to ascend the papal throne.
So why not Cardinal O'Malley?
Benedict's decision to step down, effective Feb.
But also by voting in O'Malley, a monk of the austere Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, they would be signalling a new focus on retail Catholicism and rejection of the aura of imperial power and intrigue the office currently holds.
Despite his critics, O'Malley has faithfully carried out the mission given him by Pope Benedict when he came to Boston, which was to right the wrongs of the sex-abuse scandal by both restitution to the victims and the institution of reforms so that such a scourge could never reoccur.
And with that came the painful but necessary consolidation of many parishes, which allowed the diocese to regain its financial footing.
He has done all this with an honesty and humility that belies his learned background, which includes extensive knowledge of both the Spanish and Portuguese cultures, which would help the Vatican communicate with its South American faithful.
And at age 68, he's about the ideal age for a pope.
While he certainly isn't seeking the office -- no cardinal is supposed to actively pursue the papacy -- we think the College of Cardinals could do a lot worse than the humble archbishop of Boston.
Why not Sean O'Malley?

Rosenbaum has won the 100 back twice at the national meet.

Burton, Rosenbaum, Lauren Halladay '16 and Sarah Hooper '16 made up the 400 medley relay that finished fourth with a time of 3:52.85. That time met a provisional qualifying standard for the NCAA championships.
Halladay finished sixth in the consolation final (14th overall) for the 50 breaststroke. She recorded a time of 30.99 seconds in the prelims, which was just .08 seconds shy of the team record.

Hello out there.
Been lurking on this forum for a while and finally made the leap - my Warbonnet Blackbird just arrived.
Looking forward to the wisdom of the forum and all the benefits of hammocking (i.e. fame, wealth, and loss of 20# of body weight not immediately, but at least by the end of the week!).
Now Im out to the parking strip to hang that baby and swing among the stars.
PS Does anyone know where to get the rocket pod accessories for the hammock?

Hello all! I'll state the obvious... I'm new! Okay, whew, now that that's over with. I have a question for you. I've searched through the forum and found some valuable information but nothing that specifically fits my need.
I'm working on a site with a remote search form embedded into an iframe. I didn't code this nor do I have access to make any modifications to the code/database. It's provided as a tool for my use as is and meant to be placed into a site with an iframe so it's themed for my purpose.
This form works fine and preforms just as it should, however I'd like to create a simple one field search form that I can place on all my other pages so a user doesn't have to visit the search page in order to preform a search.
I can't figure out how to make the simple form on Page (A) submit to the iframe search on Page (.
I created a test example: http://www.pixellegends.net/projects/searchtest/index.html
If you could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Ander Herrera impresses on debut
PASADENA, Calif. -- Ander Herrera's impressive debut was hailed by his Manchester United teammates after the Spanish midfielder starred in a 7-0 preseason win over the LA Galaxy.
Herrera was one of two starters who logged the full 90 minutes at the Rose Bowl -- fellow midfielder Darren Fletcher was the other -- and the 24-year-old collected the man of the match award for a display which saw him set up two goals for Ashley Young and play a key role in much of United's attacking output.
Key European club fixtures
French Ligue 1 -- Aug. 8
FA Community Shield: Manchester City vs. Arsenal -- Aug. 10
German Super Cup: Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich -- Aug. 13
English Premier League -- Aug. 16
Spanish Super Cup: Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid -- Aug. 19 and 22
Spanish La Liga/German Bundesliga -- Aug. 23
Italian Serie A -- Aug. 30
Afterwards, Juan Mata spoke glowingly about his fellow countryman's performance, with whom he often linked.
"He was very good today and I am very happy for him," Mata, who played the first half and assisted Danny Welbeck's opening goal, told reporters after the match. "We have a good connection inside the pitch and outside the pitch and he will give us a lot of good things this season."
Anders Lindegaard admitted that he was surprised at just how well Herrera performed, given the short time he has had with his new teammates following his summer move from Athletic Bilbao.
"There are a lot of new things to adapt to, especially for him," said the goalkeeper. "He doesn't only have to adapt to the new system, he has to adapt to the whole setup, which is different to what he has seen before."
- Premier League clubs impress in the USA
Lindegaard described Herrera's qualities, which were often in evidence vs. the Galaxy.
"He is obviously a very talented player -- everyone can see that. He is good on the ball, off the ball. He is good offensively, defensively, he is very clever. He is a very nice guy as well and seems to be clever and bright so I am sure he has a big future."
Galaxy manager, Bruce Arena, stated that Herrera, Mata and Fletcher provided the platform from which United romped to victory.
"I think in the first half that was a big part of them owning the game in the middle third of the field. They were terrific, not only with their passing, but winning some tackles, and picking up some second balls. I was very impressed with that."
On Saturday, United play Roma in Denver, Colorado. The game is the club's first in the International Champions Cup and is followed by matches vs. Inter Milan on July 29 and, on Aug. 2, Real Madrid.

"I am the King of all the Men and you may not pass."
"Die, filthy men!"
"Death to the evil orcs!"
Elrond smiled to himself at the sounds coming from behind him. Estel knew little about his background yet he had managed to recreate it to defend Elrond's study. Gilraen had gone to visit some of her kin leaving Estel in Elrond's care so Elrond had planned to spend some time with the boy. However, some urgent business had come up and he had to let Estel play on his own for a while.
Elrond put down his work to look round at Estel. His army of soldiers was attempting to stop the orcs from getting into the room. It looked like they were winning but then in all of Estel's games the side of good triumphed over evil. Elrond hoped he was right but feared he was wrong. It had, however, given him an idea.
He got up and walked over to the doorway to crouch by his foster son.
"Are we winning?" he asked him.
"Yes, the captain has just killed the last of the orcs. They won't get you now," he replied, holding up the captain for Elrond to inspect.
"Very good," he said. He paused for a moment. This was not going to be easy but he felt it was necessary. "Estel, has anyone told you how your father died?"
"He was killed in a battle with orcs."
"That's correct. Why don't we recreate it?"
Estel began picking up the soldiers and the orcs.
"Which one is going to be your father?"
Estel thought for a moment, examining the different soldiers he had to choose from. "This one," he said, picking up the captain's second.
Interesting, Elrond thought, but did not correct his assumption. He wanted to see what Estel would do next. He debated telling the boy Elladan and Elrohir had been there too but decided against it. He did not want Estel asking them awkward questions.
The battle began with Elrond as a silent observer. The orcs were winning this time but Elrond could guess what was going to happen next and he was right. The second-in-command - currently playing Estel's father - sacrificed himself for his captain.
"What is going to happen now?" he asked Estel.
"The other soldiers see the second's sacrifice, so they fight better and win."
"Let's pretend they did and the battle is over. What would happen next?"
"They would all leave?" Estel's games never usually extended past the end of the battles.
"The living would, yes. What would they do with the dead soldiers?"
"Take them home and-"
Elrond cut him off. "No, there are too many to carry back."
Estel thought for a moment before answering. "Would they bury them?"
"Perhaps, but the ground where they have been fighting is hard and they are too tired to dig. They will burn the dead and since we are recreating the battle, we will also."
Estel's eyes grew wide. "Burn my soldiers?"
"Yes." Elrond was firm. "Pick up the dead ones and bring them over to the fire."
Estel dutifully picked up the half of his toy soldiers that were dead, including the orcs, and followed Elrond. Standing in front of the fireplace he held one up, looked at it, then up at Elrond. No matter how innocently Estel looked at him Elrond was not going to change his mind.
"Perhaps we should say a few words."
Estel opened his mouth and shut it again. "What do the men do?" he asked.
Elrond was glad Estel had asked. Living among elves he had become very elvish. He knew Gilraen told him of his own race but rarely did he ask Elrond. "That depends on the standing of the dead. It is up to the living to decide. They are your soldiers and you are their king. It is your decision."
Estel laid them all down except the orcs. "The orcs are evil and deserve to die." Those he picked up and threw onto the fire, which roared a little higher at the addition of such fine wood. Elrond made a mental note to find out what Elladan and Elrohir were teaching their little brother.
Estel surveyed the soldiers left in front of him. "You are good and you don't deserve to die, but you fought bravely and I am very impressed with all of you." Picking up the leftmost one he put his hand as close to the fire as he dared and let go. Tears fell down his cheeks as the others followed.
The soldiers were Estel's prized possessions. Elladan and Elrohir, when they were among the men, had found an abandoned toy soldier and brought it home to give to Estel. That soldier was now his captain, the others having been made by the Elves of Imladris. No two were alike, including the orcs.
Elrond merely stood solemnly by Estel's side. Estel, wanting to copy and appear more grown up, had managed to stop crying and now only sniffed occasionally. After a time Elrond judged to be appropriate he sat down, pulled Estel into his lap and put his arms around him, allowing him to cry once more. It was a hard lesson for a little boy to learn - there were many elves who did not understand death even now - but it was better for Estel to find out now rather than firsthand in battle. If Elrond could have spared him that pain in the future he would have.
Elrond knew Estel was crying at the loss of his toys rather than the loss of a father he did not remember but it would be enough for him to understand for now. The problem, he thought, was that Estel did not feel the loss of a father because he had one, albeit only a foster father. He also had a mother that loved him, two older brothers and he had charmed most of the elves in Imladris, being the only child there.
"Your father was very brave," he told him. Estel gave a little nod in response. "I am very impressed with you and I know he would be too."
Estel looked up at Elrond briefly, smiled and hugged him a little tighter. Elrond kissed the top of his head and reflected on the circumstances that had brought this innocent boy into his life. He just wished he could stay innocent for a little longer.

#1 Police: Florida Couple Had Sex Atop Restaurant Table While Parents, Kids Watched10-22-2012, 04:58 PMA couple who decided to have sex atop an outdoor table at a Florida restaurant--in full view of families dining nearby--avoided criminal charges because witnesses declined Monday night to provide statements to police.
The manager of Paddy Murphy's, an Orlando eatery, summoned cops after he "was notified by several patrons that a couple was having sex on a table in view of minor children," according to an Orlando Police Department report.
Tom Murphy told officers that he approached the couple early Monday evening and told them to stop. But the man, identified by cops as Jeremie Calo, responded, "She can't get up at this time." Calo, 32, was referring to his companion Tiffani Lynn Barganier.
Calo and Barganier, 32, are pictured above.
