In my 10-year-old mind, you see, baseball had no color.For that, I thank Jackie Robinson.
There were enough subtle and blatant reminders throughout society then, even for a naive youngster, that the world was different for blacks and whites, whether real or perceived.
But baseball represented that peaceful sanctuary, universal language and common understanding that bonded folks of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. The aura, the strategy, the camaraderie, the competition, the distinctive smell of freshly cut grass . . . that was the game I fell in love with from the days of tossing a rubber ball against the steps of our front porch as a 4-year-old--pretending to be Johnny Temple or Roy McMillan of the Cincinnati Reds--to competing in Little League, high school and American Legion ball.
Being awarded the Jackie Robinson Trophy as the first Most Valuable Player of West Gary Little League in 1959 was an honor that has grown in personal significance in this, the 50th year since Robinson broke baseball's color line with the Brooklyn Dodgers. I played second base that year, as did Robinson most of his career, but my hero was Nellie Fox of the White Sox. I mimicked Fox's ever-present chaw of tobacco by tucking a sour grape ball in my jaw. Baseball then had no color for me.
Robinson broke major-league baseball's color barrier a year before I was born, dramatically affecting not only the sports world, but also the way political powers viewed the issue of providing opportunities for blacks.
Still, the process of meaningful racial integration was slow and in many cases begrudging. I remember collecting baseball cards and learning through overhearing adult conversations that the Boston Red Sox were the last major-league team to sign a black player. Somehow that wasn't on the back of Pumpsie Green's trading card.
The name Jackie Robinson soon became a euphemism for any black who was the first in his field. When my father, LeRoy Mitchell Jr., was named the superintendent of labor relations at Inland Steel Company in 1963, he privately called himself "the Jackie Robinson" of his department.
Robinson's acquiescent disposition during the spate of racist incidents on the diamond became a standard of behavior to which many blacks subscribed until the late 1960s, when activists sought change through more expedient pro-active measures.
My father's passion for baseball was passed on like a family heirloom. He was an infielder at the University of Cincinnati before playing semipro with the all-black Cincinnati Mangrums in the mid-1940s. His infatuation for the game superseded bitter recollections of ugly incidents that left indelible emotional scars. I remember listening to the hurt in his voice when he talked about his coach telling him he couldn't stay in the same hotel as his white teammates for a game in Kentucky.
I remember hearing the woeful tales of how his all-black semipro teams were forced to use separate restrooms and water fountains, Yet his love for the game was unwavering. He routinely took me and my brothers, Bud and Steve, to Cubs games (even though he despised the Cubs) at Wrigley Field and his beloved Reds games at old Crosley Field.
My father and two of my uncles, Austin Tillotson, 82, of Cincinnati, and Astor Tillotson, 76, of East Chicago, Ind., played baseball with and against many of the Negro League stars who have been inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in recent years.
"I played against Willie Wells," Austin Tillotson said of the recent Hall of Fame selectee. "Buck O'Neill, Double Duty Radcliffe . . . a lot of them."
Astor added: "Josh Gibson could have been the first. He could hit the cover off the ball. But he had other problems. Robinson had something between his ears and that made him a good choice."
The Chicago American Giants of the Negro American League asked Austin to play center field for them occasionally while he was still in high school.
"I had to use another name, though, so I could keep my eligibility," he said. "Sometimes we would play three games in one day. We would play games at fairs, then hop on the bus and play somewhere else. And then finish up with a night game. A lot of places wouldn't give us a place to shower and some of our players would get sick. I remember changing clothes in a barn."
asked Austin if he thought then the racial climate would change in America, or if blacks some day would be allowed to play major league baseball.
"It was a no-no and we accepted it. (Segregation) was so ingrained in us that we never gave it any thought," he said.
"When I was in the service, I played against (former Dodger Hall of Fame shortstop) Pee Wee Reese and (former Yankee great) Joe DiMaggio. Reese was a real friendly guy and he knew a lot of us could play. He kind of hinted that I could have played (in the majors)."
Astor Tillotson, a third baseman, got a hit off major-league Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean when Dean's barnstorming club faced a team of black players at Block Stadium in East Chicago during World War II.
"It was a base hit right up the middle. I still have the writeup in the paper somewhere in the house. Dean picked me off of second base, though. He was still pretty savvy," said Astor, who used to wear a uniform handed down from the Chicago Cubs.
"Satchel Paige pitched for us and Dean pitched for the white team. I think it was 1944. We had five or six guys that I think could have played in the majors, if they had been given a chance.
"Red McClain, Del Miles, Henry Milton, O.C. McCarthy, William Henry Rancifer . . . a lot of great ballplayers.
"But they never got the chance."
It is hoped this year's 50-year celebration of Robinson's pioneering effort will be as much a reminder of how far we have come as it is a springboard to where we are headed.

Lamar Lady Cards lose at McNeese
LAKE CHARLES, La. - The Lamar University women's basketball team saw its dreams of the No. 1 seed in the upcoming State Farm Southland Conference Tournament come to an end with a 70-69 loss to host McNeese State on Saturday afternoon.
McNeese State (23-6 overall, 15-1 SLC) scored the final seven points of the game to get the win and the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Lamar (24-6, 13-3), which saw its eight-game winning streak come to an end, will be the No. 2 seed in the tourney, which gets under way Tuesday in Katy, Texas.
Kendra Wells hit a jumper with 3.8 seconds remaining for the winning points. Lamar held a 68-59 lead with 2:52 remaining, but were outscored 11-1 the rest of the way.
"We made some bad decisions and took some bad shots," said Lamar head coach Larry Tidwell. "On defense, we didn't defend and let people wide open for shots. We left (Wells) wide open from 15 feet and she hit the shot."
Kalis Loyd led Lamar with 25 points and eight rebounds. Jenna Plumley had 16 points and six steals, while Ang Green had 11 points. Trashanna Smith, who played in her 123rd game as a Lady Cardinal, tying Brittney Williams for the school career record, finished with six points.
Caitlyn Baggett led McNeese State with 20 points. Well had 15 points, while Ashlyn Baggett finished with 11 points.
The Lady Cardinals will face the No. 7 seed in the first round of the tournament at noon Tuesday.

Last Saturday I went on an Artist Date...all by myself. This afternoon I had lunch at Pasta Pomodoro with this wonderful guy. At first we decided to sit indoors. But then I took one look outside and changed my mind. The place was surrounded with arbors of pink Morning Glory vines. And just outside the arbors were rows of grape vines, laden with grapes. The building was surrounded with Spanish style architecture, mountains...and the atmosphere was so serene! The afternoon sun was mild in the shades...and we sat together, enjoying the beautiful day.
He was humming some tunes happily... He wore blue jeans and a gray t-shirt. The waitress was really sweet, and I ordered the most unpronounceable item there. Hey, it was time to be adventurous...what with sitting there with this gorgeous guy and all! LOL! So while I waited for our food to be served, I decided to walk among those rows of grape vines, while he lazed on his chair, humming, and looking at me so sweetly!
Then the food was served. We ate in silence and peace. You know, how you can be comfortably silent with some people? The food was delicious...and I had such a wonderful time, that I wondered, why had I not done this before? So what if I have been married 15 years now? I've had this wonderful new guy in my life from the past 4 years....why did I not go out on a date with him before?
Oh...the reason I went on this date today? Well...I picked him up from his preschool in the afternoon, and he clung to my legs, looked up beseechingly at my face and said, "Mamma, I'm hungry!". ;-)

text: William Richardson Davie (1756-1820), the son of Archibald and Mary Richardson Davie, emigrated with his parents, a brother, and a sister to South Carolina in 1764, settling near Lancaster. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1776 and during the Revolutionary War became well known for his guerilla warfare against Lord Cornwallis. After the war he married Sarah Jones, practiced law in Halifax, NC, and became a politician. Having helped to draft the US Constitution, Davie successfully guided efforts to ratify it in North Carolina. From 1792 to 1798 he was Grand Master of the North Carolina Masons. In 1798 he became the last Federalist governor of North Carolina, and in 1800 he helped negotiate the French Convention, ending an undeclared naval war with France. Losing an election for a seat in the US Congress in 1803, Davie retired to his South Carolina plantation Tivoli, but he maintained an active correspondence with members of the University's board of trustees, on which he served from 1789 to 1807. He was survived by three sons and three daughters (Dictionary of North Carolina Biography 2:28-29).

Producer Frank Marshall has denied Wednesday's rumors that Bradley Cooper would play the title character in an Indiana Jones reboot.
"Due to the ridiculous rumors that keep popping up, like agents pipe dreams, I will stop commenting on our projects until I have real news," Marshall tweeted. "I can only confirm that Katy Perry will NOT be the new Indiana Jones."
The Latino Review said Wednesday that Bradley Cooper topped a list of actors who could replace Harrison Ford in the iconic role of the swashbuckling archeology professor.
But sources have since told both the Huffington Post and /FILM that there's no truth to the story. Producers have no plans to reboot the franchise by replacing Ford.
The fourth Indiana Jones film, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, premiered in 2008, and there's long been discussions of a fifth film.
Ford, 71, told the Telegraph in 2013 that it would be "perfectly appropriate" to reprise his role in another film.

Sitting bang in the coastal centre of the Bay of Biscay
Sitting bang in the coastal centre of the Bay of Biscay, La Rochelle can count itself among the most picturesque and historically rich spots on the entire Atlantic coast. Much sought-after over the years (from the Huguenots to the invading Germans), it's bathed in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, creating an unseasonally good climate on a par with far pricier locations on the Med. Must see: Take a boat trip from the nearby Ile-d'Aix to the legendary offshore Fort Boyard, a jaw-dropping stone-built maritime fortress once home to 250 servicemen... and much more recently home to the TV game show of the same name.
La Rochelle has long been celebrated for its independent spirit, and many of its shops share the free-thinking outlook. Great little boutiques like Pourquoi Pas (21 rue St Nicolas) and Matlama (61 quai Louis Prunier) are good for quirky one-off pieces, while the arcaded Rue du Palais is full of diverting stores located in old sailors' houses. Elsewhere, the covered market (Place du March�) showcases a wealth of fresh produce, and the well-stocked shelves at nearby L'�picerie d'Annabelle (4 bis rue des Trois Fuseaux) are similarly ideal for picking up local delicacies, from jams and terrines to tapenades and olive oils.
Food & Drink
Unsurprisingly there's excellent seafood to be had in La Rochelle – try Les Flots (1 rue de la Cha�ne) or the atmospheric Andr� (5 rue St Jean du P�rot) for proof. The local oysters are renowned. Visitors with young families are advised to bag a table at Le Caf� de l'Aquarium (Quai Louis Prunier), which serves top-notch set menus as well as being ideally located for the aquarium itself. La Rochelle also sits close to the heart of the Cognac region, making it a fitting place to sample the world's most famous brandy and its close cousin, the aperitif Pineau des Charentes.
Red Bull Cliff Diving
The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series includes La Rochelle on its annual tour. The occasion sees divers leaping off the 14th-century St Nicolas Tower in front of crowds of more than 50,000. A truly spectacular occasion.
F�te du Port de P�che
The F�te du Port de P�che is a one-day celebration highlighting La Rochelle's maritime heritage, as well as showcasing the important role the port still plays today. It gives a chance to meet fishermen, sailors and fishmongers, sample fresh seafood and enjoy live music.
Festival International du Film de La Rochelle
Only Cannes draws more annual visitors than La Rochelle's film festival, which has a 40-year legacy and includes a balanced programme of French and international works. Unlike Cannes, there's no grand prize, but it still attracts big names from the cinema industry.
A well-established summer music festival geared primarily around French-language song, Francofolies runs for five days each year and puts on a series of concerts at different venues around town. Rock, pop and folk all feature.
Jazz in Ao�t
This weekend of jazz performances has a reputation for rearing new talent – the festival hinges on giving amateur musicians the chance to play on a live stage. It's held in the Museum of Natural History.
A major port city throughout the Middle Ages, La Rochelle still retains a strong individual character. The Vieux Port area, with its historical towers and old lighthouses, is the town's main focal point, and there are good hotel options in the vicinity. The 26-room H�tel Atlantic (23 rue Verdi�re) is located just 50m from the port, while the sleek La Monnaie Art & Spa H�tel (3 rue de la Monnaie), located in a 17th-century building, actually overlooks it. And if it's top-tier comfort you're after, the five-star R�sidence de France (43 rue du Minage) also has an outdoor pool.

Let's start off with the easy part. ' I wish to' can mean the same as 'I want to' but it is much, much more formal and much, much less common.
You can also use 'wish' with a noun to 'offer good wishes'.
Notice that when you want to offer good wishes using a verb, you must use 'hope ' and not 'wish'.
However, the main use of 'wish' is to say that we would like things to be different from what they are, that we have regrets about the present situation.
Notice that the verb tense which follows 'I wish' is 'more in the past' than the tense corresponding to its meaning.
In the case of 'will' , where 'will' means 'show willingness' we use 'would'.
Where 'will' means a future event, we cannot use 'wish' and must use 'hope'.
In more formal English, we use the subjunctive form 'were' and not 'was' after 'wish'.

The PROTECT IP Act Is About The Old Media Industry Going To War With The Internet
from the nicely-put deptLarry Downes, author of the book, The Laws of Disruption, has an excellent (if lengthy) column discussing why the PROTECT IP Act is about the legacy media industry going to war with the internet:
It is now clear that the true enemy of traditional media, still unbloodied, is the Internet itself. The remarkable ability of digital technology to reduce the transaction costs of information exchanges of all kinds has destroyed the business models, if not the businesses, on which content providers have operated successfully since at least the 18th century. That's when the first copyright law was passed in England.He goes on to note that what this and other recent attempts to change copyright law in favor of those industries are really attempts to break the internet in order to protect some old business models. Yet, because we believe in free speech, we can't just completely stop the spread of content online, and so the silly set of laws we keep seeing are really attempts to take convoluted paths to break the internet, while being able to pretend they're just trying to stop "criminals." The real problem, however, is that these laws are being driven by the industries they help the most, and being passed by elected officials who don't understand what they're doing to the internet:
The focus on "media" in the very name of the industry belies its reliance on the limited life of physical copies as the key control mechanism. But as physical copies are replaced by faster, better, and cheaper digital alternatives, control becomes more illusory. The entrenched providers are growing desperate.
A full-scale war between content distributors and everyone else has been raging in earnest for over a decade. Both sides have seen theirs share of victories, defeats, and casualties--some in the market, others in the courts. Like many messy conflicts, it has dragged in many once-neutral parties, including device manufacturers, network operators, and consumers.
There's more, but let's cut through the unpleasant details here for a moment. In essence, what PRO IP, COICA, and now Protect IP all try to do is disrupt sites that infringe copyright and trademark without removing them, largely in cases where actually taking them down is both legally and technically impossible.The full article is a lot longer, but really does a great job framing the entire argument that shows what's really at stake: an old industry that's being disrupted, and which is seeking (whether consciously or not -- and I'd actually argue that they don't realize what they're doing) to break the internet, because it upsets the ways they used to make money. What's unfortunate, is that politicians don't recognize that they're merely helping to prop up an unnecessary legacy industry, when there are plenty of new, better, more efficient operations able to take their place instead.
Their attenuated tactics, taken together, try to effect the removal of the site from the Internet when law enforcement can't easily exercise jurisdiction over the site itself or the people who operate it. Doing so, of course, leaves the actual site and those who operate it untouched, free to use their own tactics to avoid erasure or simply reappear nearby. And it requires the forced conscription of a dizzying jumble of Internet service providers, some large and some very small.
But the more indirect the solutions, the more the technical integrity of the Internet--its openness, its least common denominator protocols--is compromised. It may ultimately break. In an effort to disrupt illegal uses of technology, these laws may succeed only when they unintentionally disrupt all uses, legal and illegal.
How did we get so quickly to the brink, where Congress is wading so deeply into technical details it clearly doesn't understand? Why are the combatants in this war willing to resort to increasingly incomplete, ineffective and dangerous tactics? (Dangerous to the infrastructure, to the law, and otherwise.)
Law is often the last refuge of an industry in transition. Rather than change, or change as quickly as innovation makes possible, industry incumbents sue, first to slow the pace of progress and then, ultimately, simply to survive.

dear all
I should write recursiv & nonrecursive version of extended Hanoi tower. Extended Hanoi tower is similar the normal one. The difference is that here odd rings are in A (1,3,5) and even rings are in B (2,4,6). Now how we can transfer all of them to one with recursive function & a nonrecursive function!!! (Note 1 is the biggest ring and we can't place bigger one on the smaller one)
Thanks in advance

A blind man who tumbled onto subway tracks in Manhattan with his guide dog declared "there's still good people in this world" after he was told anonymous donations will make it possible for him to keep the animal after it is retired next month.
Cecil Williams, 61, appeared with the black Labrador, Orlando, at the hospital Wednesday, after telling the AP in an interview a day earlier that the beloved pup would be forced to retire due to his age in January. His insurance wouldn't pay for a retired dog, Williams said.
The organization Guiding Eyes for the Blind, which provided the dog to Williams seven years ago, announced at the press conference that donations had covered the cost of the dog for life after his retirement.
An emotional Williams thanked strangers for their kindness.
"Orlando, he is my best buddy, he's my pal," Williams said. "The spirit of giving, Christmas ... it exists here and it's in New York."
"I feel that it's a blessing, I feel that it's a miracle," Williams added later. "All the people that contributed or donated, we should take our hat off to them. There's still good people in this world."
In the fall Tuesday, Williams said he passed out on the subway platform and fell onto the tracks with the dog, into the path of a train.
The train wasn't able to stop in time, and it rolled over Williams, but he wasn't hit because he landed between the rails. His doctor said he would likely be released Thursday.
"My eyes are misty ... things like this here don't happen for everybody," Williams said.
Williams will get a new guide dog when Orlando turns 11 next month and retires.
"He's looking forward to enjoying life now," Williams said.
Williams said anyone still wanting to donate to him should direct their money to Guiding Eyes to support the training and care of other guide dogs.

This tutorial is going to cover some of the important and commonly used numeric functions available in the Visual Basic Library.
Numeric Functions
VB supports many mathematical or numeric functions that can make calculations very simple, as you just have to feed in the variables , and get the output after the function processes it.
1. Val Function
This function is used as a converter function. It converts the numbers contained in a string to its numeric equivalent. it just is the opposite of the Str() function, however it has some differences too.
Syntax: -------------- Val(String) Note: the string must be put in quotes
Working :-
if we feed it a value like this
will produce the number 124566
will produce the number 125.0066
However, the Val function stops reading the string , when it encounters a character which has NO NUMERIC EQUIVALENCE, which is for alphabets, symbols, commas, etc are not recognized. But, Blanks , Tabs , and linefeed characters are simply removed and not counted . included at all.
so therefore we get something like this
Val (4566 3442 5553 )
gives the output 456634425553 , no tabs , spaces included.
Now, for input something like this it has another output
Val (12534ABCD2345)
gives output 12534. Why ? because when it reads A after four, it simply doesnt recognize it as a number, and the string is not read further, so even if there are numbers at the back of the string, they arent added because they are never read.
now for more information, this function also recognizes the radix prefixes &O for (Octal numbers) and &H for (Hexadecimal numbers) for example
returns its decimal equivalent, which is 45.
the main use of Val function is to obtain numeric values from string variables, such as values inputted / obtained from a text box.
Dim N1 , N2 , N3 as Integer N1 = Val(text1.text) N2 = Val(text2.text) N3 = N1*N2 text3.text = Str(N3)
now if you remove the Val functions , you will get a Type mismatch error in runtime. however you will get the same error if you do not convert it back to string when passing it to a string variable, but if you are directly passing it a textbox, then the Str() function isnt really necessary.
2. Sgn Function
This function is used to determine the sign of a number.
Syntax: -------------- Sgn(number) Note: the number should be a valid number or numeric expression
now there are three cases for a sign of a number
If the number is Positive ( number > 0 ) then sign value returned is 1 Negative (number < 0 ) then sign value returned is -1 Zero (number = 0) then sign value returned is 0
Dim N1 , N2 , N3 As Integer N1 = 234 N2 = -19 N3 = 0 Print Sgn(N1) Print Sgn(N2) Print Sgn(N3) ------------------ the output is 1 -1 0
3. Int and Fix Functions
Both these functions are used to remove the numbers left to the decimal point. but these functions work differently.
the Fix() function simply removes (truncates) the fractional part.
num1 = Fix(134.2423) // num1 is stored with the value 134
and the Int() function removes the fractional part, and rounds down to the nearest integer value
num1 = Int(134.2423) // num1 is stored with the value 134
both Fix() and Int() functions behave the same for positive fractional numbers, but in case of negative input number, they differ
num1 = Int(-2554.23) // num1 is stored with the value -2554
But the Int() function:
num1 = Int(-2554.23) // num1 is stored with the value -2555
why ? because Int() function removes the fractional part, and rounds down to the nearest integer value as known , so it is doing what it is supposed to do, as -2555 is smaller than -2554.
4. Rnd Function
The Rnd() function is used to generate a random number. This function returns a value equal or greater than zero , but lesser than 1.
Syntax: -------------- Rnd([number]) Note: Here [number] denotes that it is optional argument
however the output is quite unpredictable, but it can be somewhat known on the basis of what input has been given.
if [Number] argument is : 1. Less than Zero - the Rnd() function generates the same number every time using [number] as an initial value used to generate pseudorandom numbers (called Seed) 2. Equal to Zero - the Rnd() function generates the most recently generated number, which remains the same 3. Greater than Zero - the Rnd() function generates the next random number in the sequence. 4. Argument Not Supplied - the Rnd() function generates the next random number in the sequence.
now we can modify the use in several ways
to generate random numbers within a limit we can write it as --------------------------- Syntax (( upperlimit lowerlimit ) * Rnd + lowerlimit) ---------------------------- where upperlimit and lowerlimit are the range numbers in which random numbers have to be generated. if you want integer numbers , simply put the Int() function in front of the expression Int (( upperlimit lowerlimit ) * Rnd + lowerlimit) note that numbers generated WILL be BETWEEN the limits, as the limit numbers are excluded.
Note :
before calling the Rnd() function , one should use the Randomize() statement without an argument to initialize the random number generator based on the system timer. But if you use the Randomize (number) , then the Randomize Statement initializes the random number generator using the optional (number) argument as the seed value.
some examples:
Dim R_num As Integer R_num = ((10 4)*Rnd +4) Print R_num R_num = Int((10-4)*Rnd + 4) Print R_num --------------- the output will be (one of the output possibilities) 9.171213 generated due to the Rnd() function with limits 8 same as before, but Int() function removes the decimal parts. Also, To repeat sequences of random numbers, call Rnd() with a negative argument immediately before using Randomize with a numeric argument. using randomize with the same value for number does not repeat the previous sequence.
5. Format Function
Format function rearranges number, strings, dates or any other value in a formatted way. Mainly used to represent dates in different ways when needed.
syntax ------------------- Format(expression,[Format],[firstdayofweek],[firstweekofyear]) where, expression Required. this is the value which is to be formatted [format] Optional. A valid names or user defined format expression. [firstdayofweek] Optional. A constant that specifies the first day of the week [firstweekofyear] Optional. A constant that specifies the first week of the year.
The expression argument a number to convert and he format argument is a string made up of symbols that shows how to format the number. the most commonly used symbols are listed :
Symbol Use 0 :- Digit placeholder; prints trailing or leading zeros into positions. # :- Digit placeholder; no trailing or leading zeros. . :- Decimal placeholder. ( ) :- the is a thousands placeholder/ - + $ () space :- literal character characters are displayed exactly as typed into the format string
these format options enable an user to display numbers in different ways when needed ; one can specify the number of decimal places, leading or trailing zeros, currency formats and others. [/CODE]
Number formatting
The following block will give information on how to format a number in several ways.
Format(10203.192,0000000.00000) Result :- 0010203.19200 // leading and trailing zeros Format(10203.192, #####.#####) Result :- 10203.192 // no leading or trailing zeros Format(10203.192, #####.00000) Result :- 10203.19200 // only trailing zeros Format(10203.192, ##,###.00000) Result :- 10,203.19200 // thousands comma inserted in number Format(10203.192, $##,###.000) Result :- $10,203.192 // currency formatting you can try as many combinations as possible, depending on what format you need ------------------ The symbol for decimal separator is a period (.) and the thousands separator is the comma (,)
Note: the conversions above are possible when the country in the Windows Control Panel is set to [ English (United States)]. ------------------ Also the separator character depends on the selection of the country, for example many countries will use the imperial system of numbers , and other will use the metric system. in these cases the commas will be inserted according to the country selected in Windows.
Date and Time Format
Formatting dates and times is pretty useful when you need to display it in a format which isnt in your data-type form. so the Format() function can be used to convert a date, time to another format, using symbols representing date and time. The following block will illustrate how to format dates in various forms.
Formatting Dates and Times Format(Now, m/d/yy) -Returns a format like this : [ (month)-(day)-(year) ] where the all values are in 2 digits. example : (5-19-06) Format (Now, dddd,mmmm,dd,yyyy) -Returns a format like this : [ (day of week)-(month in words)-(day)-(year) ] where the month is in alphabets , day is in numbers , year is in four digit number. example : (Thursday , April, 15 , 2006) Format (Now, d-mmmm) -Returns a format like this : [ (day)-(month in words) ] where the day is in digits , and month is in words. example : (15 April) Format (Now, d-mmm-yy) -Returns a format like this : [ (day)-(month in words)-(year) ] where days , years are in numbers ( as discussed) and month is in 3 letter words. example : (15-APR-06) Format (Now, hh:mm AM/PM) -Returns a format like this : [ (hour of day)-(minute of hour)] where , hour of day is in AM./PM mode as AM/PM has been written in the format option. example : (08:30 PM) - if you do not specify this , it will come in a format (20:30) Format (Now, h:mm:ss A/P) -Same as above, but with a little difference, here instead of AM / PM; A , P will appear example : (08:30 P) Format (Now, d-mmmm h:mm AM/PM) -Returns a format like this : [ (day)-(month in words)-(hours)-(minutes)-(AM/PM) ] example : (15 April 8:30 PM) ---------------------------------------- Of course there are innumerable permutations and combinations on how to display a date, this formatting options are extremely useful on an international scale as dates / times are represented in different ways in different countries.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 12, No. 2 Fall 1985
Linda H. Kistler, Editor UNIVERSITY OF LOWELL
Frederic William Cronhelm, Double Entry by Single (London: Long-man, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1818. Reprint edition, New York: Arno Press, 1978, p. xv, 377, $25.00).
Reviewed by Raymond T. Holmes, Jr.

Although today's accountant may feel somewhat overwhelmed by the volume of new pronouncements and regulations from the FASB, the AICPA, the SEC and other policy setting bodies, in fact business practices and accounting for business activities change very slowly. There have been few radical advances in procedures, and the double-entry system continues to govern accounting con-cepts. Recognition of the slowly evolving nature of accounting is confirmed by Frederic William Cronhelm's Double Entry by Single; however, somewhat in contradiction to the above statement, the ac-cumulation of small changes over an extended period of time results in the 1985 product being barely recognizable as embody-ing the same basic concepts that controlled 1818 record-keeping.
It may be appropriate to compare the evolution of accounting methods to a 3 per cent inflation rate, with similar effect. The rate of change may seem modest or slow, but just as compounding $1 at 3 per cent for 166 years will produce a total of $135.20, the accumulation of changes in accounting methods produces a vastly different product in 1985 than existed in the early industrial era.
Cronhelm's book was published to promote a bookkeeping sys-tem devised by the author to shorten the "Italian method," in com-mon use at that time. In justifying his own method the author de-scribes very briefly then prevailing procedures. The book was obviously written for the accountant of 1818, and the author as-sumes the reader is familiar with the system in wide-spread use at that time. His explanations, therefore, are not sufficient to make

Christmas morning couldn't have been more perfect this year. Our older daughter who spent Christmas eve with us and stayed the night, rose early in order to serve a breakfast of fresh cinnamon rolls and hot coffee to her parents.
This was followed by us gathering around the tree to open our presents. My husband received a gift certificate for an oil change, my daughter an itunes gift card and I received a box of tombstone photos of all my relatives buried in the lower 48 states.
Next husband opened a digital tire gauge and daughter opened a gift certificate for a haircut. Our younger daughter called from 600 miles to the north saying she was sending me a folder of birth, death and marriage certificates for her dad's side of the family, knowing how much they would mean to me. She was also happy to report that she received notification of renewal of scholarship funds.
Our Christmas continued along these lines after a delicious dinner older daughter and I cooked and served. As we were opening the last of our gifts my father-in-law piped up that he remembered some key family information that we thought was lost forever.
And finally, while opening stocking stuffers, I discovered the place of marriage of my great-great grand parents in Germany and my great-great grandmother's real maiden name.
The real surprise was that while I slept, someone neatly filed all my miscellania, organized my photos by putting them in albums, carefully labelling and dating them. My genealogy data was all updated and backed up and books for all my direct lines were on their way to the printer. My genealogy and personal blogs were ready and waiting for final read through before posting. All pencils were sharpened, paper was neatly stacked and next year's Christmas cards ready for mailing.
Ah, the family historian's dream is a good one! I'm sure those who know me, know that I gave the dream away in the second sentence.
I hope you all had a blessed and merry Christmas!

Can I walk or run with my child?
We offer two distances (1/2 mile and 1 mile) with the IRONKIDS Fun Run series. Parents and guardians can walk or run with their child in the 1/2 mile since younger kids participate in it. However we ask parents and/or guardians to stay off the course with the 1 mile. With as many as 500-1000 participants, additional people on the course (especially grown-ups) cause confusion and unsafe conditions. If you would like to watch your child, you can walk along the side of the course. We also recommend that you find a buddy to participate with your child. This gives them extra motivation and companionship during the race.
Does my child have to run the entire race?
What if my child cannot finish the race? Kids of all abilities are encouraged to attend, regardless of their speed. Many participants run the entire race, but many walk, skip or do a little of both. Just in case, we do have volunteers on the course that will walk back with participate if he/she can't run back. Remember—everyone is a winner and all participants receive a finisher medal and goodie bag.
I am worried about letting my child participate. What kind of precautions and security measures are taken? Volunteers, our IRONMAN operations crew, and race staff generously help with all the races, we pride ourselves on safety for the children.
What happens at the end?
How do I find my child? After the child finishes they will walk out of the finish chute, where most parents stand. You should be able to see your child walking out, but if not we ask that you and your child pick a place to meet outside of the finish chute that is less crowded. Please remember the finish line is exciting and chaotic. Be patient while waiting for your child to make it to your designated meeting spot. If you get separated from your child, please look for staff with the IRONKIDS race credentials and let them know.
Important Things for Parents to Know

ALEXANDRIA - Sitting across from a pregnant public health official, Terry Loeffler didn't think twice about puffing several times on his cigarette.
Despite statewide legislation banning smoking indoors, he leisurely blew smoke toward Jessica Peterson, Douglas County Public Health educator, while the two were sitting in a conference room at Henry's Foods in Alexandria last week.
Loeffler, the director of sales and marketing at Henry's, is a former smoker.
He was demonstrating a new product - Fifty-One, an electronic cigarette, which is known as an e-cigarette or e-cig.
Although the e-cigarette, which was developed in China, has been on the market for about two years, it hit the Alexandria area late last week.
Henry's Foods is the distributor of the new product.
Loeffler said Fifty-One is available for purchase in bars and a few convenience stores in Douglas County. The lakes area, he said, was chosen as a test market for the product, which some may find controversial.
The e-cigarette looks similar to a real cigarette with its brown filter and white body. The tip of the electronic device glows with a simulated red light when users take a puff or inhale. And after inhaling, users will blow out "smoke," which is actually vapor. The vapor, according to the Fifty-One Web site, contains mostly water and trace elements of nicotine and propylene glycol, which is typically found in food coloring, flavoring and mouthwash. Propylene glycol is on the safe elements list of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
When purchasing the e-cig, which will retail for $95, users will receive a kit containing two nicotine cartridges, one battery pack (this contains two lithium batteries) and one home charging system. One nicotine cartridge is about the equivalent of one and a half to two packs of cigarettes, said Loeffler.
Replacement cartridges will retail at $15.95 for five cartridges.
"This is a huge savings in the long run," said Loeffler. "It's between $1.75 to $2 equivalent per pack as compared to $4.50 or $5 per pack of regular cigarettes."
The price of actual cigarettes will climb even higher when a federal tax increase - from 39 cents to $1.01 - kicks in this April.
When explaining how the device works, Loeffler said the e-cig creates an illusion of smoking, but that it doesn't contain all the harmful things real cigarettes have like tar, carcinogens or cancer-causing agents.
There's no tobacco and the unit doesn't get hot or have any flames to it so users are not breaking any rules, he said, noting it is also odorless and there is no "ashtray taste" in your mouth.
"It was designed for people who are already smoking, but want a safe alternative," said Loeffler. "And the law says it's legal."
Peterson, who worked hard to get the smoking ban in place in Douglas County before the statewide ban was enacted, said that since the e-cig is such a new product, public health doesn't know what its stance is on it yet.
It has the same effects of a real cigarette without the negative components such as tar, carcinogens, tobacco, etc., she said.
"Nicotine is no worse than caffeine," said Peterson. "It's not cancer causing."
However, one concern public health has is the look of the e-cigarette and if people will be able to tell the difference.
Peterson also noted one other concern, which is whether or not the e-cig will become a gateway to real cigarettes.
"It's such a new product that I think we will just have to wait and see," said Peterson.
The law's take
Last week, Loeffler met with Alexandria Police Chief Rick Wyffels and Douglas County Sheriff Troy Wolbersen to educate them on the product.
Because of the smoking ban, Loeffler wanted law enforcement officials aware of the e-cig in the event they are notified about people smoking in bars, restaurants or any other indoor facility.
Both Wyffels and Wolbersen had never heard of the product before being contacted by Loeffler.
And both of them believe the product will need a little research before they have an opinion on it.
"I don't know about the laws and how it will affect it yet," said Wyffels. "It's so new to me and there are a lot of unanswered questions."
Wyffels thinks the e-cig could be a solution for those who are addicted to cigarettes.
"For now, I want to keep an open mind to it," he said.
Wolbersen believes that there will be some confusion for bar and restaurant patrons over the new product and thinks there will be some calls on it.
He also shared some advice for people if they believe someone is "smoking" in places they shouldn't be. Customers in restaurants and bars should contact the manager on duty and have that person check out the situation.
"It would be best to have them (managers) handle it first before calling law enforcement," said Wolbersen.
He feels that part of the public will be happy about the e-cigarette, while the other part will be upset. And like Wyffels, Wolbersen wants to keep an open mind about the new product.
"If I have a concern right now, it's that they are not age-regulated," said Wolbersen. He noted that there are no current statutes that address the e-cigarette and that the use of the product is not regulated.
He added, however, that business owners can make their own decisions and rules regarding the use and sale of the product.
Loeffler noted that the Fifty-One e-cigarettes will be on display behind counters and will be under lock and key. Those selling the products will be instructed to only sell to customers who are 18 years of age and older. Purchasers will be carded, he added.
Loeffler hopes that the public will look at the product in a positive light and see it as a benefit.
"This is not a cancer-causing product," he said. "We want it to be for smokers who want to quit, not for those who haven't started. We don't want to say it is a means to quit, but that it is a better alternative."

(Phoenix, Ariz. – March 31, 2009) Attorney General Terry Goddard and American MultiCinema, Inc., and its subsidiaries and affiliates, (AMC) today announced a settlement that will expand accessibility for blind, deaf and hard-of-hearing movie patrons.
AMC currently has nine auditoriums in Arizona equipped with technology that enable blind, deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons to enjoy movies shown in its theaters. This lawsuit sought to expand the number of AMC auditoriums equipped with this technology to create greater access.
According the agreement, which recognizes the parties' mutual desire to expand access for disabled patrons rather than expending time and resources in litigation, AMC will:
- Double the number of auditoriums in Arizona equipped with technology allowing blind, deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons to enjoy movies in the next 30 months as AMC introduces digital cinema to its theaters.
- Equip 10 percent of the auditoriums in any newly built theaters with digital captioning and narrative description, technology which describes the action and scenery appearing on screen.
- Include Arizona theaters in the first 25 percent of theaters it transitions to digital cinema.
- Make good faith efforts to offer a broader choice of captioned and described movies to its blind and deaf patrons.
"We commend AMC for being at the forefront of expanding access for the disabled community. AMC already offers substantially more movie-going opportunities for deaf and blind Arizonans than other theater chains in the state. This agreement reaffirms AMC's commitment to do the right thing." Attorney General Terry Goddard said.
AMC General Counsel Kevin Connor concurred by stating, "We are pleased to have reached this agreement, which will significantly expand access for the disabled community in Arizona to more fully enjoy their movie experiences at AMC Theaters with the advantages of digital cinema. The agreement also recognizes AMC's ongoing efforts to transition to digital cinema and its desire to invest its money in technology that aids our deaf, hearing impaired and blind patrons."
In a similar lawsuit brought by the State against Harkins theaters, a federal district court dismissed the lawsuit concluding that the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Arizona Civil Rights Act do not require theaters to display captions for customers who are deaf or hard of hearing or to provide audio descriptions for customers who are blind or visually impaired. The State has appealed this decision, which is pending before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
A copy of the settlement is attached.
The Arizona Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin or ancestry. Any person who believes that their civil rights have been violated should call the Arizona Attorney General's Civil Rights Division toll-free at 1-877-491-5742, or toll free via TDD at 1-877-624-8090.

I am trying to quantify some freeze-dried siRNA received from a company. I dissolved the siRNA in RNase free TE buffer (pH 7.6) and diluted further in either RNase free PBS or DEPC water to get a UV reading of between 0.2-1.
I find that the readings are very different. The DEPC water diluted siRNA gave a much higher 260 reading (50% more) than the PBS diluted siRNA. Proper baselines were used. The 260/230 and 260/280 ratios did not change, however.
The siRNAs themselves are ~14000 in molecular weight, and there is a modification on the 3' end of the sense with cholesterol linking, and PS modification on the 5' and 3' ends.
I wonder why this is the case and which reading I should use to quantify the siRNA.
Thank you very much!

The aftermarket performance parts industry has an abundance of parts in all different types and categories of vehicles. At OverDosed Performance, we try our best to carry as wide of a variety of parts as we can, however it is very difficult to have everything in stock that is offered on our web store.
Whenever a part is ordered and it is not in stock, we place the order directly with the manufacturer or distributor and some delays might be incurred during this process. For this reason, when you place your order in our web store, normally within 24h you`ll receive a copy of your invoice that shows the part number(s) and description(s) of the part(s) ordered, as well as the invoice number and the status of your order. Your invoice ensures you that we have your part(s) on order for you and we will try our best to have your shipment ready as soon as possible.
When ordering wheels, delivery times can often vary due to high demand and the manufacturers lack of inventory. If you would like to know exactly when a certain type of wheel would be ready to ship before placing your order, simply e-mail us at email@example.com and we`ll let you know exactly how long it`ll take for you to receive them.
Thank you for understanding!

Nov. 29, 2007
Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On loss of momentum in the first half:
"We lost the momentum as a result of foul trouble and giving up offensive rebounds. It stopped the good flow we had on both ends of the court."
On the team's renewed energy in the second half:
"I'm proud of how my team fought and competed tonight. They really stayed focused and came out tough tonight."
On Kimee Goeggel:
"Kimee is the kind of player we know is going to do exactly what needed of her. She did a great job on the defensive end for us. She was solid in her play and really helped us sustain our momentum in the second half."
On Nicole Gall:
"Nicole was a huge spark off the bench for us tonight and a lot of it was on the defensive end. She played with a lot of energy and was constantly diving for balls."

Lip-smacking good barbecue sauces
The barbecue sauce, to me, is what distinguishes great grilled meat and chicken from the rest. If applied at the right time, good barbecue sauce enhances the taste and appearance of grilled foods to the point of being mouth-wateringly irresistible.
Folks new to grilling often make the mistake of basting foods too early. It's tempting to do, but a mistake.
The sugars in barbecue sauces burn quickly and leave the foods on which they are applied burned and badly blistered. In the extreme, over-charred foods are unrecognizable and save the parts the can be picked free of the burn, inedible.
As hard as it may be to wait, save the basting for the last 15 minutes, or so, of grilling and your food will be aglow with color and the sticky goodness that make our lips smack. Folks who like to marinate their foods before grilling should use marinades that are low in sugar, or remember to brush, or wipe, marinades off before placing them on the grill.
For safety's sake, never use the same platter or utensils for both marinating raw food and serving it after it's cooked, unless they've been thoroughly washed. And, be sure to discard any leftover sauce that may contain juices from raw poultry or meat.
Unused sauce, free of raw juices, may be placed in a clean jar and stored in the refrigerator or up to 1 month.
1 cup commercially prepared barbecue sauce
1 cup ketchup
? cup stout or dark beer
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Dash, or two, crushed red pepper (optional)
Combine ingredients in a large non-reactive bowl and allow to stand at room temperature for two hours, or refrigerate overnight. Before using, pour sauce in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and cool. Makes 3 cups.
¾ cup orange marmalade, homemade or commercially prepared
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons unflavored rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 scallions, including some of the green part, minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated gingerroot
Over medium heat, blend ingredients in a small saucepan, cooking until heated through and bubbly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every once in awhile. Remove from heat and allow to sit 30 minutes. Makes about 1 cup.
1¼ cups ketchup
¼ cup chili sauce
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
Mix ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat, allowing to come to room temperature before using. Makes about 2½ cups.
1 small onion, minced
½ cup bourbon whiskey
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups ketchup
¼ cup tomato paste
? cup vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce (optional)
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the onion and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Stir in the ground pepper, salt, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and Tabasco. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand 30 minutes before using. Makes 3½ cups.
The only way to know for sure, whether grilled food is cooked enough to be safely consumed, is to check its internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, the minimal internal temperature for chicken to be safely consumed is 165 degrees throughout, beef steaks, ribs and roasts to 145 degrees and hamburger to 160 degrees. Earlier this month, USDA lowered the safe cooking temperature of pork from 160 degrees to 145 degrees. For more information visit the USDA website at www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/index.asp or call them at, 1-888-674-6854.
? cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 ? cups milk
2 ? cups King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (If using dark baking pans, decrease temperature to 375 degrees.) Grease and flour 8 (4 x 2.5 x 1.5-inch) mini-loaf pans or line with parchment paper to fit. Sift together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter with the sugar, stirring well. Add the milk and the eggs, blending until combined. Whisk in the flour mixture, whisking until well mixed. Divide the batter among the loaf pans, filling no more than barely three-quarters full. (If you have leftover batter, use it for making mini-muffins.) Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow loaves to remain in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings.
Kitchen Ade note: Alternatively, this recipe may be baked in a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan for about 25 to 30 minutes. To serve, cut into squares.

text: I've heard there are two or three 12'-14' mini's running around Alaska with Rotax 582's on them. Have some pics of one a friend saw while caribou hunting last year but didn't get any hull numbers or identifyers. I'm looking for anyone that owns or has used this set-up to see how they pulled, what they could haul, and to see if anyone did any thrust tests with their set-ups. I just sold the 582 on my 12' boat and trying to determine how much more HP I need vs want before I install the new engine and begin the redrive process. As always, thanks in advance.

Are you a traveller or a tourist?
For many Westerners making their way around the world, "getting off the tourist trail" is a priority. In fact, the "off-the-tourist-trail" trail has become an often well-beaten path. You haven't really been somewhere, the reasoning goes, until you've experienced a whole lot of inconvenience, several crappy journeys on public transport and a bad night's sleep.
Personally, I'm happy to perch up poolside with a pina colada. If the only local I meet is the bloke serving the drink, I don't necessarily feel I've missed out on experiencing the locality - I've just seen one slice of it. Soon enough you'll encounter another locality and other locals.
In his new book Renegade, singer Mark E. Smith casts a dismissive eye over "people who have gone and 'travelled'. They lose so much of who they are they can't retrieve it, they just float around talking about travelling all the time. No stories or anecdotes, just talk of more travel, of more time in Cambodia or somewhere else equally as impoverished and war-torn. It's a similar mindset to that of ghoulish celebrities who quietly travel to [the] Congo with a school of cameramen and journalists. And once they get there they can't wait to start picking up young kids with half an arm."
He's unsubtle, but there's a kernel of truth in Smith's tirade. Enjoy the road (slightly) less travelled when you find it, but never turn down a good pina colada.

Stuart Family Vacation
Brennecke Beach was so much fun. We spent most of our time hanging out on the beach and soaking up sun. This beach is right down the greenbelt pathway from the resort and it feels like your own private beach. This beach is less crowded than Poipu Beach. Boogie boarding on the beach was a blast! We spent most of each day hitting the waves on Brennecke Beach. They were the right size to give you a real ride. Our favorite place to eat was Puka Dogs. Nothing like a Hawaiian style hot dog after a long day at the beach. We went there like 3 times during our stay. This is an affordable option for food that is fun for the whole family.

Toronto FC announced Friday that the club has selected defender Danny Califf in the second stage of the MLS Re-Entry Process and have signed him to a new contact. As per team and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Danny Califf is a proven defender in our league, and a player with a lot of character. Our defenders are young and we expect Danny to provide important leadership as we change the culture of our team," said Toronto FC President and General Manager Kevin Payne. "We're thrilled to have him on our team. We look forward to welcoming him and his family to Toronto."

Califf, 32, made a combined 23 league appearances with Chivas USA and the Philadelphia Union last season.

In five seasons with the Galaxy, Califf won the CONCACAF Champions Cup (2000), U.S. Open Cup (2001), MLS Cup and MLS Supporters Shield (2002). Califf was traded to the San Jose Earthquakes ahead of the 2005 season. With San Jose, Califf was named to the MLS Best XI and won the MLS Supporters Shield with the club.
He left MLS to sign with Danish club Aalborg, where he spent two seasons and won the Danish Superliga title during the 2007-08 season. Following the championship campaign he signed with Midtjylland of Denmark and remained with the club until re-joining MLS in 2009. Califf was dealt to the Philadelphia Union ahead of the club's inaugural season in 2010, after the Union acquired his rights from the Houston Dynamo. He started in all 67 matches he played for the Union before being traded to Chivas USA on May 17, 2012.
Califf earned 23 international caps for the United States. He was part of the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup winning squad, and was a member of the 2003 squad. Califf also played for the U.S. at the 2003 Confederations Cup and the 2007 Copa America.

I would recommend Gordon Greenidge's autobiography written in 1980.
A few things he said about the Windies 1975/76 tour of Australia:
He states that there is "no such thing as a good Australian umpire."
Absolutely slates Roy Fredericks and Clive Lloyd for not helping him when he was having a torrid time in the first couple of Tests.
He admitted he deserved to be left out of the side but slams the selection committee for promoting Bernard Julien to open.
He gives a fairly fruity opinion of Ian Chappell based on his actions when he was given not out after getting a thick edge to Michael Holding..........and much much more as they say.
He is also openly critical of the selectors who picked Ron Headley ahead of him for the 1973 Tour of England.
In fact he doesn't hold back on anything, and bear in mind that this book was written when he was still a young man and that many of the people he slated were still very much involved in West Indian cricket.
