Rosa Parks, hailed as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement" is most famous for her 1955 refusal to give up her seat on a city bus in Alabama to a white man.
Today a statue in her honor will be unveiled in Washington D.C.. President Barack Obama, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner are among the dignitaries taking part in the unveiling Wednesday. McCauley said more than 50 of Parks' relatives traveled to Washington for the ceremony.

Tragedy at National Games, Maharashtra player dies after cardiac arrest
Tragedy struck at the 35th National Games when a 21-year-old netball player from Maharashtra suddenly collapsed and died during a practice session on Monday following cardiac arrest
Thiruvananthapuram: Tragedy struck the ongoing National Games as a 21-year-old netball player from Maharashtra died here today following cardiac arrest.
Mayurish Pawar collapsed after training due to a massive cardiac arrest and was declared dead by doctors at a nearby
private hospital today, according to National Games Secretariat officials here.
"He was on his way back to the room after a practice session at the indoor stadium at Vellayani near here along with his other team members. He suddenly collapsed and the others rushed him to the hospital. But, doctors declared him
dead," a NGS official said.
The dead body would be handed over to the team and family members after a post mortem, he added.
A Games official said that Pawar's team had played against Chandigarh in the morning.
"Chandigarh won the match and they left the venue. The incident occurred when the Maharashtra team arrived at the practice court close to noon, where he fell ill suddenly," said the official who did not wish to be identified.

Fear of monopoly as so-called 'Chicken King' takes control of Bernard Matthews
Posted: 19 October 2016 | | No comments yet
Food tycoon Ranjit Boparan, known as the "Chicken King" has stoked industry fears that he will gain a monopoly after purchasing Bernard Matthews…
Food tycoon Ranjit Boparan, known as the "Chicken King" has stoked industry fears that he will gain a monopoly in the market after purchasing turkey processor Bernard Matthews.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has launched an investigation into the acquisition of Bernard Matthews amidst fears that it will give Mr Boparan a dangerous control over the market.
That said, the CMA said it is considering "whether it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created" and "whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition in any market or markets in the UK".
The CMA stated it has "reasonable grounds for suspecting that it is, or may be the case, that enterprises conducted by Ranjit Boparan and Baljinder Boparan (Mr Boparan's wife) and the business formerly carried on by Bernard Matthews Limited have ceased to be distinct".
The "Chicken King" obtained Bernard Matthews in an administration deal that meant 2,000 jobs were saved but the company's £17m pension deficit was transferred to the Pension Protection Fund which has become a target of scrutiny by MPs.
It is thought that the previous oweners of Bernard Matthews, private equity firm Rutland Partners, had scrapped the pension scheme in order to recoup millions of pounds in the sale.
Professor Prem Sikka, of the University of Essex, published a report in Work and Pensions select committee that found that Rutland had recouped £39m from the deal.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has dished out an enforcement order which necessitates the halting of the process of integrating the two companies until the regulator is happy that the deal will not damage competition.

There is one builder I know who is finding it hard to make sales in the current market – no surprise there. But his reaction to the current challenges has been limited to only two courses of action. First, he has changed his sales team several times. And two, he has reduced his prices through sales and special incentives, but each time only for a limited time period.
This builder, who we will call "Average Builder", has the benefit of a sophisticated marketing team, arguably the best in the area. After a comprehensive analysis of the market, the competition and the builder's position, they presented a twelve page memo of detailed recommendations. I participated in the research and preparation of that memo and believe that it was a correct, concise, logical and businesslike analysis and that the suggestions were all valid and the goals therein were achievable. In fact, there was nothing new in that memo; many of the same recommendations had been made in one form or another fairly continuously for the past two and one-half years. But the builder's response, as it has been every time in the past, was to rage against the dying of the marketplace (forgive the misquote of Dylan Thomas), loudly proclaiming the superior "quality" of his company's homes, and then demand a change in the sales force.
Personally, I am exhausted and beyond frustration trying to help "Average Builder" see the realities of the marketplace, the homebuilding business today and his relative positions. And I know that his sales team must be totally spent and emotionally drained.
Perhaps his sales people are not the best possible but what does he truly expect? His product is difficult to sell, at best, and any good (or even halfway alert) sales person would quickly recognize that and leave for greener pastures. He does not pay salaries or guaranteed draws; he does not pay higher commissions; so there is no financial benefit for any great salesperson work for him and any loyalty from past years' successes has long ago been dissipated.
I believe that this builder suffers from a new disease – "Ostrich Syndrome". He ignores all facts and sticks his head in the sand hoping that whatever ails him and his company will just go away and that things will return to what they were. But the reality is that things will not and cannot return to what they were. And "Average Builder" is not unique in this market nor in many of the other markets I have seen this year. It appears that the disease is spreading, perhaps reaching epidemic proportions and may well have a more severe impact than Swine Flu, especially on the housing industry.
"Average Builder" had accomplished substantial success in years past, becoming one of the largest builders in the marketplace while achieving significant financial gains. His homes are well built and continue to be desired as resales. The communities in which he has built, many of which he also developed, are maintaining relatively high values.
"Average Builder" builds a very good home but plenty of other builders build a good house, even the same house, at a substantially lower cost and a lower price and "good" is all the market today really needs. The consumers simply do not have the extra money or the confidence to spend more than they must to meet their minimum requirements unless they are offered something truly special. This builder includes more features (however, it is questionable if those are the correct features today) but he charges for them and the market is first and foremost buying "price" and "value" unless they can get a truly different, unique product.
Unfortunately this builder does not offer a home that is unique in any way. In fact, the home designs that he is building are stale and tired (he has built some of the same plans for well over ten years) and they are somewhat unattractive, lacking great exterior elevations and any true "pizzazz". His home designs have become "commoditized" – the same houses are available from every other builder in the marketplace, usually at a lower price. His homes are not special, they are not unique, they are not the best value so price alone governs the buying decision and as he does not offer the lower price he must continue to lose sales to the competition.
Now in this same market there is another builder, who we will refer to as "Smart Builder". He has introduced new and distinct lines of housing product in several communities around the area and they are all selling very well. In fact, this builder is gaining not only market share but also growing his total number of sales even though the market is down by over 50%. When we suggested several times that "Average Builder" examine the operations of "Smart Builder" the response has always been the same – that other builder is not building a "quality" home and he must be giving away his homes, not making any money. Now I have some personal experience with "Smart Builder's" operation and know for a fact the he is not only making money but has been able to increase his margins recently and managed to eliminate almost all discounting due to the uniqueness of his product and the fact that he has responded to the market by allowing customization. But we were not suggesting that "Average Builder" copy the new home designs of the "Smart Builder", rather that he should examine the operation to see what he is offering that is selling and why.
We recommended several specific concepts for new home designs to "Average Builder", all of which would be new and unique to the market, all of which would target the market segments that were still buying and likely to continue buying for the next several years. Our recommendations also included tactics for improving cost efficiency and strategy for refining the included and optional features to conform to the current indicated market preferences. But as on previous occasions, the response was the same – "change the salespeople and make them work harder to sell what we have built". Fundamental changes in product design, cost effectiveness and target marketing were not even considered.
We also looked at his communities – their location, natural amenities, physical amenities and targeted markets. In two of his developments, pricing was well into the 5thQuintile of both the resale and new home markets in that area. It was obvious why he had targeted this price segment – higher priced homes potentially yield higher profits so greed governed the decision.
The 5thQuintile is open ended at the top, including semi-custom and true custom homes ("Average Builder" will not allow design changes so he cannot compete with semi-custom and custom builders) and estate homesites ("Average Builder" offers only smaller homesites, garden home and conventional sized, nothing even approaching one acre and therefore cannot compete in that regard either). Only one of these communities offered outstanding amenities such as golf which would appeal to the buyers at these price points, and that course is public and reported to be encountering financial difficulties. And in the current market, potential new home buyers at this price point almost always have a home to sell and most cannot achieve nearly the value which they think their existing homes are worth, creating a very challenging sale process, at best. For these reasons, the 5thQuintile is a segment of the market where a production builder such as "Average Builder" typically does not wish to be and one which almost every national builder has studiously avoided.
In one geographic area in which "Average Builder" had recently opened two new developments (contrary to the advice of his marketing team), the local share of the total new home market fell by 20% in the past three years while the number of builders more than tripled (and that is in addition to the impact of the overall market having declined by over 50%). This was an absolutely predictable occurrence by anyone truly examining the market and determining who the buyers were and from where they were coming as that historic market had very nearly been satisfied. But again, this builder knew better. After all, he had been very successful in the past and his "build it and they will come" philosophy had always worked before.
There were also numerous other conclusions and suggestions, specific to each development, that, if implemented, would have made the existing housing products more saleable, either by refining the designs and features to better suit the targeted markets or adjusting the features to target new and more viable market segments. But as these had all been suggested previously and ignored, it is doubtful that "Average Builder" will now have an epiphany and see the light. So my crystal ball suggests that unless he dramatically alters his operations, which appears extremely unlikely, he will soon end up as many ostriches do – as nothing but an expensive handbag.

I'm not talking about a musician leaving one band to join/start another. I mean why do they feel the need to be involved in multiple projects when they have a successful band to begin with. An example that comes to mind is the metal band As I Lay Dying, the lead singer also heads a band called Austrian Death Machine which does songs involving Arnold Schwarzenegger. The thing I'm trying to ask is I frequently see bands that have members in multiple endeavors.

Ever have an attachment to a stock in your portfolio...something that has surpassed your wildest expectations over the past few years as you stayed long and strong....reinvesting dividends perhaps?Then...all of a sudden you find some blemishes....perhaps expenditures start to rise or business in Europe starts to crater a little....What do you do? Since you are so looooooong the stock just up and selling it off without ever thinking about "what do I do next?" That's not what you do. You don't dump your stock because an Analyst came out against it...You don't give up on your company experiencing some growing pains because Jim Cramer just said he didn't like the last earnings report and so no longer likes the stock....You don't give up on your stock....Not unless there's something better out there....You turn off the "Your Stock STINKS because......" arguments. They serve absolutely no benefit to you because you know the negatives and positives of your company's business prospects and balance sheet situation.... You already know... Tell me something I don't know!!!Hence..... That's explains SARAH PALIN and why so many of us *ultra conservative extremists* continue to support Sarah Palin for President of the United States as strongly as we do....No amount of negative attacks, smears, and belittling....and CAT CALLS about how she SCREWED UP when she DEFENDED her self cause she was supposed to just SHUT UP already....Nothing you can do to trash her that will make us switch from Sarah Palin to someone else.Know what DOES make us switch from 1 choice to another choice? Whether it is the Republican Presidential Primary or selling off a long-term stock so you can buy another one?TALK UP the other one.........that's how.Convince me the other candidate is superior..... Tell me how I should buy buy buy such and such a stock.... tell me how it's a superior stock... show me positives about a stock that are so strong they are stronger than any positives of the stock I've invested in for years....Give me something!!!!Then I'll switch my vote just as fast as I switched my investment from (DPS) to (GME).
CLARIFICATION (just in case it is needed):
The point of this article was to simply say that when an Intellectual has invested himself/herself in say....Mitt Romney....for a very long time....and then sees Sarah Palin sucking up the Lime Light all the time....The reality is many of these Intellectuals would rather Trash Sarah Palin because they have another Fish they are invested in....tied to.... They have another Canddiate they prefer...So instead of saying to these intellectuals, "Would you rather have Obama instead?"Simple ask them, "Ok....So which Candidate have you placed your trust in to lead our Country and tell me how he/she is superior to Sarah Palin?"
Rush should get these people to DEFEND THEIR GUY/GAL in thsi race...... Instead of letting them BASH Sarah Palin all day...Let's see them defend their choice!It's not like there aren't negatives in the other choices out there... There are plenty of negatives....So let's compare THEIR negatives with Sarah.
Still hanging onto Enron?
OK, so why did you switch from DPS that pays a dividend over to GME a non dividend payer. Does Sarah not like Snapple?
LOL at Blesto!
When it's less about loyalty and more about issues, you'll help the country.
We get enough loyalty in a 2 party system that I find myself arguing with people repeating the party line on both sides. I'd rather argue with them about their own thoughts.
The problem with most people is that they don't have their own thoughts. They just have the thoughts that their leaders told them were their thoughts.
1) DPS 15 P/E or perhaps 16 or 17 depending on what you think the 2011 EPS is going to be I Guess...2) GME 8 P/E or 7 P/E depending on what you think the 2012 (actually 2011 but GME calls it 2012) earnings are going to be.1) DPS - Solid earnings growth year over year2) GME - Solid earnings growth year over year....But instead of Sun Drop which has *bombed big* in the single Meijer Store that I Shop at which is by no means an accurate way to judge DPS....But, when I am offered 30 cents to buy Sun Drop 2-Liter bottles....That's like Meijer's is dumping inventory they can't sell without the discount.Sun Drop could be a disappointment....you never know...On the other hand:KINECT + Used Playstation 3 Bundle + Nintendo 3DSThat's is NOT a miss.... And if they also sell the Roxio gadget for Consoles and PCs then that's possibly another big money maker for Gamestop.Gamestop boasted about how many Kinects they were selling...between November 4th to January 3rd.....8 million sold and I speculate much of that came from GameStop stores.... Afterall, Best Buy Missed Badly!Did Coca-Cola miss badly???? Pepsi???? Nope!1) DPS -- $37+ a share makes it difficult for my $1 dollar to purchase any shares.2) GME -- $19.70- $19.90 = My Dollar goes a loooooong way here.1) DPS - Projected to go to $40.25 from $37.XX. At best it is a whopping $3.00.2) GME - Projected to go to $26.28 from $19.70 - $19.90. At worst case scenario that's a $6.00 move.and I can go on and on and on....I kept telling myself for weeks and months even that why stay LONG (DPS) an excellent wonderful superb stock indeed to retire on..... When (GME) has much more growth potential?
P.S. Who says I can't switch back to (DPS) after (GME)'s earnings report anyhow?

Environmental standards and certifications such as the following make it easy for institutions to choose high quality and environmentally preferable copy paper. The summaries below describe each recommended standard-setter, its main criteria, and how its standards are developed and verified. Also included are other related standards and labels that purchasers may encounter as they are choosing preferable copy papers.
The not-for-profit trade association established in 1994, Chlorine Free Products Association (CFPA), developed CFPA #102, a chain-of-custody certification standard to address bleaching processes, recycled content, and forest management. Products that meet CFPA #102 may be labeled as TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) or PCF (Processed Chlorine Free).
TCF is reserved for virgin papers. The TCF mark means
PCF is reserved for recycled-content paper. The PCF mark means
CFPA audits require chain of custody documentation for all raw materials. Auditors evaluate the impact of a manufacturing process on the environment based on water and energy use, chemistry, carbon gas releases; review manufacturers' environmental policies and permit compliance; and review ethical management practices and compliance, financial performance, product stewardship, public information, funding of research and development, and employee recognition. Once the audit is complete the organization ranks the applicant using a Sustainability Index*. Only processes or products that are manufactured free of chlorine chemistry are identified with the Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) or Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) trademarks.
*CFPA's Sustainability Index addresses environmental policy and management, mill process, forestry certification, environmental risk management, product stewardship, public information, environmental compliance, and employee recognition.
EcoLogoCM Program is a Type I ecolabelling program (as defined in ISO 14024), and is managed by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing Inc., with offices in Ottawa, Chicago and Philadelphia. EcoLogo certifies copy paper and the associated manufacturing processes under the multi-attribute standard CCD-077: Printing and Writing Paper. The standard spans the full lifecycle of the products to address sustainable forest management, air and water emissions, solid wastes, recycled content, and energy use. Copy paper that meets CCD-077 is manufactured with:
EcoLogo certification criteria documents are developed through a process that follows ISO 14024 eco-labeling standards. The open, public and transparent process ensures the participation of a broad base of stakeholders including user groups, product producers and associations, government agencies, scientists, consumer representatives, academics and environmental advocates. Stakeholder input to establish criteria and public consultation on draft criteria guide much of the development process. The process includes performing an environmental life-cycle evaluation, determining the range of current industry performance, and establishing leadership criteria that represent approximately the top 20% of the industry.
EcoLogo staff arrange for an independent third-party auditor to assess a manufacturer's documentation (including laboratory test data), product performance and production records, and to conduct an on-site manufacturing facility audit. EcoLogo only awards certification to products that pass the evaluation and audit process, and continue to meet annual monitoring criteria.
Manufacturers of products made from wood, such as copy paper, may seek certification for their products under the Forest Stewardship Council's international Chain of Custody standard. This standard verifies the source of the fibers used to make the paper, whether those fibers are recycled or sourced from FSC-certified forests. FSC Forest Management certification, for forests rather than forest products, addresses legal issues, indigenous rights, labor rights, multiple benefits, and environmental impacts surrounding forest management. For the Chain of Custody certification, wood products used to make paper are tracked and the resulting paper products may be labeled with a unique tracking number as:
Supplemental standards exist for controlled wood and recycled (also called reclaimed) material.
In the development of its international accreditation standards, the Forest Stewardship Council adheres to the ISEAL Code for Good Practice in Setting Social and Environmental Standards. According to ISEAL, organizations commit to creating standards that are developed in transparent, multi-stakeholder processes; certification schemes that consumers can trust; and relevant, high level performance criteria that create genuine social and environmental change.
During the development process, the public is invited to comment on FSC standards documents directly or become involved in consultative forums. Upon completion of a standard, the document is publicly available on the FSC website.
FSC does not directly certify any forests, mills or manufacturers. It accredits national and regional forest stewardship standards and independent third-party certifying bodies. The certification bodies, like Scientific Certification Systems, assess and audit operations against the FSC-accredited standards and are authorized to issue FSC certificates.
Green Seal is a non-profit, independent environmental standards-setting and certification agency headquartered in Washington, D.C. certifying the product content and manufacturing process of copy paper under its Printing and Writing Paper standard, GS-07 and Coated Printing Paper under GS-10. Both standards cover two main attributes: recycled-content and bleaching processes. Paper products that meet the certifications may be labeled with the Green Seal Certification Mark, which must be accompanied by accurate bleaching information and percentage of recycled-content.
Papers certified under GS-07 must:
Those certified under GS-10 must:
Green Seal's environmental leadership standards are life cycle based. The standard development process follows ISO 14020/14024 standards and ANSI Essential Requirements with an open and transparent process to interested parties such as users, producers, and general interest groups. The process includes an environmental and health evaluation, and if necessary, Green Seal will conduct its own life cycle research following ISO 14040/14044, to fully assess the impacts of product or service. Green Seal provides information throughout the standard development process on its website, along with all issued standards, for public access.
Evaluation of products to be certified to Green Seal standards is done by its technical staff and external auditors and includes a comprehensive review of the product components, supporting data, product performance, and an on-site audit to ensure it meets all the criteria in the standard. The certification also includes annual monitoring to ensure continued compliance.
The USGBC awards buildings LEED certification at the Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels, based on the number of credits earned in a variety of categories such as Energy and Atmosphere (EA), Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), and Materials and Resources (MR). Any given building seeking LEED certification can earn credits in the MR category by recycling paper and/or purchasing FSC-certified paper. For instance, in LEED for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB), paper purchases that contain at least 10% PCW content or purchases that consist at least 50% FSC-certified papers may count toward MR Credits 1.1-1.3: Sustainable Purchasing: Ongoing Consumables.
The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is a global accreditor of forest management schemes that competes directly against FSC. It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that endorses and accredit forest certification schemes, like SFI and those developed by national governments. These schemes provide chain of custody and sustainable forestry management certification against standards endorsed by the PEFC. Governments from around the world use the PEFC standard and the PEFC independent third party certification process to promote sustainable forest management, though it is best to specify for standards and labels that have specific social and environmental criteria, such as those from FSC, Green Seal, and EcoLogo. Currently the PEFC has a membership of 25 independent national forest certification systems accounting for more than 200 million hectares of certified forests producing timber.
The PEFC standard is developed and implemented by the PEFC Council. Each member country endorsed by the PEFC is represented on the PEFC council as a National Governing Body (NGB). The NGB allows for all interested parties in the member country to be considered when developing national forest certification schemes. Certification criteria must be developed in an open and transparent process that is reviewed every five years in order to incorporate new scientific knowledge.
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is the US-based PEFC-accredited forest management and chain-of-custody certification competing against FSC. It began as a second party certification program developed by the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA) and transitioned to a third party program in 2001. It officially incorporated as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative in 2007 (ÉEM, 2008). Though SFI is now overseen by an independent Sustainable Forestry Board, membership in the AF&PA is still required in its forest management and chain-of-custody standards.
Copy paper labeled with SFI's logo must meet its Requirements for Fiber Sourcing, Chain of Custody, and Product Labels. SFI certified papers may either be Percent Certified Content labeled or Fiber Sourcing labeled, but are not marked with unique tracking numbers.
Percent Certified Content labels include:
Fiber sourcing labels may be used by primary and secondary producers, which include paper manufacturers. The standard that must be met for this certification is unclear. Producers must use an auditable system to characterize the forestry standards used for the raw material.
The Board of Directors manages the standard setting, fiber tracking, labeling and certification process. The standard development process has two thirds of its representation from academic, government and conservation organizations and the rest from the forest products industry; and it is subject to public review (Metafore, 2007). Throughout the development process the draft documents are available for comment on the SFI website. Upon board approval the completed standard is also made publicly available via the web.
SFI does not evaluate applicants as an organization. It requires an auditable monitoring system for chain of custody tracking. As of 2005, SFI has required third-party auditors accredited by ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) or in Canada, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), to annually assess applicants and their facilities for permission to use the SFI label (Metafore, 2007).
The three chasing arrows label does not represent a set of standardized environmental criteria. According to the FTC, the symbol can either mean that a product is recyclable or contains recycled content. The FTC requires that either claim be clarified on the packaging and if a recycled content claim is being made that the label should disclose the percentage of recycled content, however there is no verification of either type of claim.
Here, the EPA designates the required recovered fiber content levels for printing and writing paper. Copy paper that has at a minimum a 30 percent postconsumer fiber content, including some percentage recovered fiber content, meets CPG requirements. The EPA recommends that agencies take performance characteristics into consideration, based on Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Executive Order 13423, when evaluating minimum recovered content levels. The guideline also provides resources to find suppliers of printing and writing paper containing recovered fiber content.

This weekend, a colleague asked the collective movie-critic world: What's the one Summer 2015 film you most want to see? My answer was fast. The Tribe. If film is supposed to entertain, enthrall and challenge in progressively inventive ways (oh, and it is, by the way), this Ukranian international award-winner is my pick.

Witches' Sabbaths have been part of Christian lore since the mid-fourteenth century. According to popular belief, thousands of witches would fly — either by applying a magical ointment to their bodies or on the backs of goats or dogs — to congregate in remote forests or mountains. Here they would participate in diabolical revels, mocking the church through subverted enactments of its sacraments and trampling on the cross. Throwing their clothes to the wind, they feasted, danced and took part in sprawling orgies. The devil too was present, appearing in the form of a goat or satyr, and the merrymakers would take it in turns to kiss him on his bottom (a ritual greeting known as osculum infame — the kiss of shame) and to copulate with him.
Watch a recreation of a witches' Sabbath from the 1922 Swedish film, Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages. Afficianados might be interested in watching the whole film, narrated here by William Burroughs.

A late-morning fire burned a passenger van, blackened a quarter-acre, and closed part of a freeway just north of the Moreno Valley Mall, say Riverside County Fire Department officials.
The blaze was reported at 11:28 a.m. Wednesday, July 13, and prompted the closure of the eastbound lanes of Highway 60 at Day Street, fire officials said in a written statement.
One occupant of the van was taken to the hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries that fire officials described as minor.
The crews of six fire engines and a water tender were dispatched to the incident and halted the flames within 30 minutes.

Amber Rose is a girl who stands up for her squad. Her selfies are glam but still real.
Amber Rose is one of the last living legend. 'Nuff said. Even so, it was a constant hustle at the start of her career.
Naysayers used to frequently speculate whether she had the skills to win at the highest levels of her field. Like whatever though! Amber Rose is a strong and quirky leader. And we would bet that she will win when the game is done. If you attempt to double cross her, better watch out! You will be put down like a fool for that.
These days she seems to be eating healthy and hitting the gym. She is now a high net worth individual. You know, the type who could sing out "You want a hot body? You want a Bugatti?" because I got them both.

"Dear Beth, Todd and Cindy, I just learned of Williams passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed going to his auctions! He and Todd were always a joy to watch. Please know I will keep you all in my prayers. William will truly be missed by so many people. He was a good man. Much love, Tim and Tammy"
"Beth, Todd, & Cindy: I am so sorry to hear about William. He was such a JOY to work with in Real Estate. He was definitely a man of integrity. I know that Father God and the Angels were rejoicing when they received William into Heaven. Please know my thoughts and prayers of comfort are with you Beth and your family!"
"Beth and the entire Adcock family..... There are no words that could ever express my heartfelt sympathy for each and everyone of you at this tragic time. Please know you all remain in my thoughts and prayers. May our dear Lord hold you in the palm of His hand!
With Love, Dot Williford Wilson"
"Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you Beth and your family! William was an amazing person and he will be missed by all who ever met him!"
"So sorry to hear of the loss of our fellow auctioneer. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and his many friends. God be with you all."
"Beth, I am so sorry to hear about William. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a special person and so enjoyed auctioning, selling real estate, and auctioneering. His memories will live on through the many lives he touched. Keeping you in my thoughts."
"I am so sorry to hear he did not survive the accident. I send my deepest sympathy to Beth and the family. He was a very kind and nice man to know and work with.
Marilyn Williams Glowa"
"Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Chris and Tammy Adcock"
"My thoughts and prayers to William's family. May God Bless each one of you during this time. William was an absolute pleasure to work for and a real gentleman."
"To the family of William Adcock. The loss of such a professional and successful person will be surely missed by all that knew him and the community in which William lived and served. My deepest sympathy to the family of such a fine person and friend to all. I enjoyed knowing and being a part of Williams life although it was not much but very precious to me.
Kenny Glenn Art by Kenny Glenn"
"Sending love and prayers to this sweet family."
"To the entire Adcock family:
We would like you to know how sorry we are and that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are here if you need us.
In Christian love,
Kenny and Tempie Forbes and Family"
"William T. Adcock. I have warm and lasting memories of William and his family from many years gone by. Some of the first people we met when relocating to Oxford from Clarksville Va., in the very early 1970's, were these "other Adcock's".
Not blood relatives of ours... that I know of, but in a short time I would have been pleased and proud to be considered one of William's "Adcocks".
William was a man of Faith. His family is a family of Faithful believers. I never had an interaction with William that I did not reconize his Faith and compassion. His legacy is his Faith and how he lived with deed and purpose.
By our Faith we recieve the promise of Eternal Life and the guidance to navigate difficult waters. The tools of comfort and peace are also promises from God that he will work for us and with us as we journey through these times.
Our Hope and Prayers for you are the Lord's Peace and Comfort as you make your way through the days ahead.
Lynn and Mary Adcock"
"Prayers extended to the family. We will always have fond memories of William and his great auctions. The first estate auction we ever attended, a family bible came up for auction and William announced to the crowd that he would never auction a bible and he placed it back on the table and announced to the crowd that anyone wanting this bible to come and take it home with them. That showed a man that not only was a Christian but had character as an individual. May the Lord be with the family. Steve and Linda Tingen - Roxboro, NC."
"My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Jane Hart Robinson"
"So many prayers and love to all of you!

Memories gone, and no justice
On July 17, 2012, my wife of 38 years passed away suddenly. While I was away from home that Saturday attending her funeral, my home was broken into and all of my wife's diamonds, silver, jewelry, and 38 years of memories were stolen. The only things that weren't stolen were the few things my wife was wearing during her wake.
Upon returning home, heartbroken from my wife's burial, I discovered the violation and immediately called 911. Almost an hour later, police and Pittsfield detectives arrived. The very next day, Pittsfield Police detectives apprehended an individual and with a search warrant confiscated some of my wife's items. Of course the diamonds, silver, and most of the expensive jewelry were not found. Some miscellaneous items are still on the evidence table in holding at the police station today.
Several visits to District and Superior Court availed nothing to this date. There have been continuations and postponements. Promises and encouragement from the district attorney's office have proved to be a grave disappointment. I cannot afford an attorney. The accused's attorney is motioning to dispute the search warrant evidence as some procedural technicality may have been overlooked.
My wife's life-long memories are now gone forever and I have no hope of ever seeing them again and have no hope of the legal system serving justice. They call this justice? I think not.

By Mike Griffen
On August 25, 1944, General Dietrich Von Choltitz, leader of the German occupying forces in Paris, formally surrendered to combined Free French and Allied Forces at Le Hôtel Meurice. Later that day Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French forces, made his infamous liberation speech.
"Paris! Paris outraged! Paris broken! Paris martyred! But Paris liberated! Liberated by itself, liberated by its people with the help of the French armies, with the support and the help of all France, of the France that fights, of the only France, of the real France, of the eternal France!"
These words, which not so subtly omit the Allies' part in the city's liberation, had a profound effect on Parisian memory of the events and the perception of the context in which they occurred.
The Musée Carnavalet in Paris' 3rd Arrondissement is dedicated to the city's history. On June 11 the museum celebrated the grand opening of a photographic exhibit in honor of the 70th anniversary of the liberation.
Under the slogan, "Paris liberated, Paris photographed, Paris exposed," the exhibit told the story of the battle for Paris and its aftermath through the works of French photographers. A vast collection of stirring pictures by the likes of Robert Doisneau, René Zuber, Jean Séeberger were displayed. They told the story of the struggles of the Free French and the Resistance to rescue their city.
On the surface, the exhibition features nothing out of the ordinary. But it's what it does not contain that raises some questions. For any observant American or Brit who navigates and closely examines their way through the five room collection of photos and original films, a question is raised: what about the Allies?
Of the nearly 400 photographs on display, no more than 15 feature Allied soldiers as the focal point. The vast majority of the photos are of Free French or Resistance forces and about 80-100 are of de Gaulle.
To an extent, this is certainly understandable. The exhibit is a revival of a 1944 exhibit organized by the museum's curator a month after the city was freed.
Because of the proximity to the events of the battle of Paris, the original exhibition was largely based on emotion rather than historical accuracy. This bias is clearly evident in its modern revival due to the fact that about a third of the photos were in the original exhibit.
Probably the most shocking part of the experience, from an American perspective, comes at the very end of the tour. On the wall, next to the exit, are three paragraphs titled "THE AMERICANS," one in French, one in English, one in German. The English version, a loose translation of the French, states:
"The Americans landed on the shores of Europe to combat Nazi bigotry, hatred, and evil. There is "a certain level of irony given the amount of racism and segregation in their own army." It goes on to say, "The United States Army was completely segregated and no black soldiers were allowed in combat units."
This is the only part of the entire exhibit in which the Americans are mentioned in any sort of detail and there is no aura of gratitude, only indifference, even contempt.
It is entirely true that segregation and racism played an important role in WWII and the liberation of Paris. When the French 2nd Armored, a highly diverse division, prepared to enter the city, General Eisenhower's Chief of Staff issued a letter demanding that the French Army be segregated during the liberation attempt. Understandably, this gave the French a negative impression of American tolerance.
However, the claim that there were no black combat units can be refuted by a simple Google search. Over 70 units of African-Americans served on the front-lines during World War II, including 3 at the beaches of Normandy.
It is hard to say why a famous museum such as the Musée Carnavalet would state this falsehood as fact. From an American perspective, it is almost a slap in the face. But the segregation of the US Army is a truth that has been glossed over for the past 70 years.
American and French memories of the liberation of Paris are contradictory yet, in some ways, cohesive. Both sides know what happened. Even de Gaulle admitted that his was a primarily patriotic speech aimed at raising the moral of the French. In late 1944, Eisenhower allowed black soldiers to join white units at the Battle of the Bulge. He went on to be a major advocate for desegregation during his presidency.
It is human nature to pick and choose how you wish to remember the way events unfolded. In the same way a pathological liar eventually believes the tall tales he tells, selective memory of past events, when taught as truth, becomes reality in the minds of those who reinforce it. When certain facts are brushed under the carpet, it is to the detriment of all involved. It stymies progress and prevents society from actually fixing the issue, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
The truth of the matter is that it is a fruitless debate to argue over who receives credit for the liberation. The city was freed, and neither side could have prevailed without the other, and that is worthy of commemoration.

- Rock Music and Modern Technology
Rock Music and Modern Technology
by Lisa Mason
Music is constantly changing and modern technology has a lot to do with it. Digital rock or electro rock is the newest type of music available today and it's making a big impression in the music industry. While this type of music is fairly new, it has a long history leading up to this point.
Ask 20 people to define the term electro rock music and you're sure to get varies answers. The reason for this is because it's hard to pinpoint an exact definition since there are so many different types of music that has electronic elements mixed in with traditional music. However, technically speaking, music that depends completely on computer technology is considered digital or electro music and it's steadily growing in popularity.
What is Digital Rock Music
Digital rock music is an amazing discovery that opens up many new doors for any would be rock star, wanting to be a part of the music industry. This type of music is created by combining traditional rock music with electronic music. It actually started back in the 50s but modern technology has allowed musicians to take rock music to a whole new level.
Sampling, sequencers, digital synthesizers and drum machines have all had a hand in helping to create electronic rock or digital music but the invention of the musical instrument digital interface or MIDI was the big breakthrough.
Understanding MIDI
Before MIDI, you had to record music in a sound booth with a lot of very expensive equipment but now, just about anyone with a little musical knowledge and lots of determination can record their own music. All you need is the digital recording software and a mike and you're ready to play, mix and record your own music.
The MIDI was originally designed to link the synthesizers and keyboards together but when combined with computer technology, it became much more. Using the computer as the central transceiver, you can link all types of instruments together. Combine this with sequencing software, synthesizers, samplers and drum machines and you have electro rock.
Choosing Digital Recording Software
Choosing your digital recording software for home recordings can be a little overwhelming since there are so many different options to pick from. For example, you have Pro Tools that offer different packages so you can choose the one that meets your specific needs. Another example is Cakewalk, which was created exclusively for PC computers. The type of computer you plan to use, they type of recording you want to make and your previous experience all play a part in which type of software will benefit you the most.
Rock music has steadily evolved over the years along with technology but this has to be the most exciting breakthrough to hit the music industry. Just imagine creating and recording your own music using a computer and digital recording software! You don't need a group of people, expensive equipment and a soundproof building to practice anymore. Although, you may want to include one or two friends when making your own music, so you'll have someone to share the fun with as you make history.

How long is the tour?
The tours all aim to be 90 minutes long. We find that's about the attention span of the average Banjo Billy passenger. However, we do occasionally run 5 to 10 minutes longer due to traffic or other circumstances beyond our control. Usually that's not a problem, but if you're on a tight schedule, we recommend taking the tour that suits your schedule the best.
I tried to buy tickets, but when I went to add them to my cart, it said there were only X left. I'm not trying to buy that many. What gives?
Occasionally someone else will finish a transaction while you are finishing yours. Call our office and we will try to accommodate you.
I really, really, REALLY want to come on the tour, but for some reason I can't buy tickets! What do I do?!
Don't worry, you can always call our main line at (720) 938-8885 to purchase tickets, however you will need access to an email address and a printer to print them out.
What do you see on the tours?
All the tours give a good overview of the city, so the short answer is "everything worth seeing". For more details, check out each tour's page under the "Tours" tab.
Where do you meet?
Again, check out each tour's page and you'll find the address and a handy map.
Can I bring alcohol on the bus?
Unfortunately, we've recently had problems with allowing alcohol on tours and had to stop allowing it on public tours. Alcohol is still allowed on private tours, but to ensure everyone has a good time, we ask you leave the beers at home when taking a public tour.
How about dogs/cats/pet squirrels and other animals? Can I bring them?
For the sake of the animals, we ask you only bring helper animals such as seeing eye dogs. If you think about it, they could care less about human ghost stories.
How many people does your bus seat?
Each bus seats 25 adults. If there are a lot of kids, then we can get a few more than that.
Do you do private parties or transportation?
We certainly do. Check out our Private Tour page for more details.
Will you drive me to Red Rocks/Fort Collins/Illinois/Tokyo?
We sure will, but keep in mind there is a millage charge for extensive rides. Trips to Guam are exceedingly expensive. Also, it's important to know that we are first and foremost a tour company, so if you aren't interested in cool ghost stories and want to go long distances you may be better off with Greyhound.
Can I smoke on your bus?
If you take a good look, the answer becomes self-evident. The bus is made of wood, so the answer is no.
Do you offer group discounts?
All our group discounts come by way of taking a Private Tour. That lowers the per person price to about $18.
Can you go to Nederland? How about Sunshine Canyon?
Unfortunately, our buses don't have what are called "electro magnetic retarders", which means they can't navigate steep hills. That means we can't really take them into the mountains at all.
What about Refunds?
We do not give refunds unless we have to cancel a tour. However, we will reschedule you on any future tour if you can't make it after you buy tickets.
FAQ didnt solve your problem?
Here are several ways to contact us
Need to call us still?

Most Helpful Guy
Yes, and have before. But it's not like a fetish or anything for me. I don't see girls as "that pretty Latina", "that pretty black girl", "that pretty Asian", and so on. They're just a pretty girl if I find them attractive. I don't really understand some of the people that talk on this site about how they have a preference for a certain race.
Yes, this question gets asked enough on here. But not like you asked it; more along the lines of having the "would a (race) be attracted to me?" or "what does (race) think about (my race) guys/girls?". People just don't understand the concept that individual preferences can't be grouped or generalized, and you have to take each person as they come.10|10|0

WOW!!! It was quite a fair!!!
I am just bursting with happiness for my Poygan Go-Getter!! That's the name of the 4-H Club my Go-Getter belongs to...and a Go-Getter is right! Please forgive me for bubbling over with happiness! I know some of you out there are waiting to hear how fair went, so here it is!
It was quite a fair for all of us! The high point? Topping all the trophies she got LAST year! We all thought she had a smashing first year last year...how would one top that??? It's absolutely amazing! Topping last year is just what happened! It was an amazing second year!!!!
Here is the LIST! (giggle, giggle!):
Grand Champion Dairy Doe!!!!!!!!!!
Champion of Champions Goat!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE!!!!!!
Grand Champion Standard Chicken
Reserve Grand Champion Chicken!!!!!!!!!!!
Poultry Showmanship Beginner!!!!!!
Outstanding Poultry Showman!!!!!!!HUGE!!!!!
Outstanding Goat Herdsmanship!!!!!!!! HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL of these trophies except one were competition with older 4-Her's who've been in the goat and poultry projects for many years! In the goat barn, some even had animals of better conformation. However, Primrose is excellent in the showring, has an outstanding (and unmatched) udder, and truly sparkles with her handler!
Hard work definitely pays off! It's been a year of learning, doing, studying, interviewing, practicing, and more doing...and here is the the reward! These trophies are accompanied by FIVE purple ribbons, SEVENTEEN blue ribbons, two reds and one pink! It was quite a fair!
On the rough side? Yes, there was a rough side! Our truck died just before fair...you know...the one that was to haul the animals and stuff TO the fair??? Panic!! Then, the Sunday evening before fair, I was washing laundry to get ahead when the washing machine died!!!!!!!!! AUUUGGGGGGG!!!!! There are always high and low points in life! I now know it IS possible to go through fair week with NO washing machine!!!!!! I'd rather not ever go without again, though!
I think this might be the most exclamation points in one blog post ever!!! (giggle, giggle) The Grand Champion Chicken was Sweetie Tweetie, our much loved Golden-Laced Polish hen...I've put pictures of her up on the blog from time to time. We gave that hen to our Go-Getter as part of her very first flock when she was four years old! She wanted a yellow chick...and the swap we went to had NO yellow chicks!!!! Then, I learned that someone had chicks on a heated bus, so I alone went to find a yellow chick (think MOM-MISSION!!!). I saw two yellow chicks at the back of the very crowded bus where people were grabbing chicks faster than you could imagine. I elbowed my way to the back of the bus (think MOM-MISSION!), and swiped my hand out for the only yellow chicks on the whole bus...two of them! As I swiped, a lady near me got one of them, and I barely got the other before her! (think MOM-MISSION!) Triumph! That little yellow chick was lovingly held and cuddled by my Go-Getter all the way home! (think MOM-MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!) That little yellow chick is Sweetie Tweetie, forever titled around here now as Grand Champion Chicken!
The rooster in that group of four chicks is Eddie. He went to fair last year and earned a pretty red ribbon that looked so handsome with him! This year, he earned a blue ribbon! Muffy, the Ameraucana hen earned the Reserve Grand Champion Chicken. She was from a batch of chicks the year after Sweetie Tweetie. We named her Muffy for her lovely muffs and full beard. The judge loved how the two top winners, Sweetie Tweetie and Muffy were in TOP condition! The pink ribbon went to sweet little 'Sun Spark', the buff silkie pullet. "Pink is PERFECT for her Mom!" :)
Primrose won Grand Champion Dairy Doe (and a bunch of blue and purple ribbons!) and Champion of Champions! Her little doeling and buckling earned blues with her as well. The dam and daughter class was really fun with those two girls! My Go-Getter got lots of great help with showing them all in the ring at the same time.
Smile! It's fair time!
The showmanship classes are the hardest. You really have to know what you're doing with knowledge and detail. Poise, interpersonal skills and interview techniques are all a part of it. You have to have people skills AND skill with your animals...not an easy task! Yet, my Go-Getter did GREAT! Please forgive me for bursting with happiness, but she placed over smart and knowledgable HIGH SCHOOLERS!!!!!!!!! Those of you who know her at the Sheep and Wool Festival and Market will understand! :)
Then, on the last day of fair, certain key awards are handed out...nobody knows who will get them until names are called off. All exhibitors at the fair gather for this award ceremony, and high school kids clean up the biggest of the biggest awards. My Go-Getter, who is not a high schooler (!) was called down the second year in a row!!!!!!!!!!!!! She won the Herdsmanship trophy for the goat barn!!!! This award is voted on by all the goat exhibitors (makes up 50% of the vote) and secret adults from the public (the other 50%). The award is based on decorations, pens, animals, cleanliness,and interaction with the public. It's a HARD award to get and this year's competition for it was tough! Getting this award was a shocking and amazing last hour of the fair! Last year, she won the same award for the Poultry barn! Two years showing animals at the fair...two big trophies!!!!!!
But thatttttsssss not all!!!!! Inside, on the knitting, she earned a blue ribbon and Best in Show ribbon for her knitting project. It's a poster with several knitting samples on it showing new techniques she learned. The judge LOVED it! She did garter stitch, stockinette stitch, 2x2 ribbing, Cat's Paw Shetland Lace, increasing and decreasing. She was going to put a 4x4 cable on there as well, but didn't get that finished on time. She also made her very first pair of mittens, and got a BLUE on those as welll!!!!!!! Get this! She knit those mittens out of yarn she SPUN!!!!!! One is a tad larger than the other...but the judge recognized her skill in learning to spin, knit in the round, knit a 2x2 rib on the cuff, and how to knit the thumbs. The yarn is not Shetland, but rather fiber from a cute little crossbred ewe who does not live in our flock. She dyed the yarn with blueberry kool-aid after spinning it for a super pretty pair of mittens! She also entered a skein of yarn she spun and got another blue ribbon! Also, she carded some of her Shetland fiber from her little ram Twilight, and got another blue!
Please forgive me for gushing with happiness for this little Go-Getter! Despite all the trials of the last year with the economy, new fair rules, job cuts, storm damage, rising gas prices, everything breaking, and many many other things and obstacles, goodness prevailed!
And now, I'll leave you with little Hepatica. Yes, she was sooooo sad after leaving the fair! She LOVED all the people, all the attention, all the new places to explore, and all the petting, and all the kids!!!!!!! Her little maaa was soooo forlorn Monday, for she really missed all of her new friends! Here she is, the last day of the fair...zonked out!
I think we all felt the same way by Monday! Get rested up and don't worry little Hepatica, for fair will come around again next year!!!!!

Xbox Live Experiences Brings Netflix HD
If you're a big console gamer like I am, you keep abreast on the developments of your console's features, particularly the online features that are constantly being reinvented and introducing innovative new solutions straight to your console. One such development has been the "new xbox live experience" which has promised to deliver a whole new set of features and completely overhaul the current xbox live interface. This is certainly great to see, as other consoles like my Wii have been woefully inadequate when it comes to online options (come on guys, you can do better!).
The new Xbox live will allow you to do a number of things, and it's focus is taking the console from strictly a gaming machine to a media entertainment in a center. It adds in additional content, and you can develop your own online avatar (think like your Mii). You'll be able to download and play music, movies, and most importantly to me, you can stream movies instantly from Netflix. This development lets you watch movies, TV shows, all streamed from your xbox into your TV. Usually I'm stuck watching the instant on demand stuff from my lap top, but now with this lovely innovation I plan on watching them in my living room on the big TV. Here's what you'll need to get setup:
A LIVE Gold Account: You didn't think they'd give this to basic members, did you? You'll have to be an XBOX Live Gold member to access the service, which also unlocks a variety of multiplayer gaming features too.
A Netflix Member: You'll need to setup your own Netflix account from their main site. No additional charges will apply as a result of using your Xbox to stream movies and shows.
Activation Codes: You'll need to upgrade to Gold, then download the Netflix application on your Xbox 360 to get going, after you've done that you setup your activation code, and enjoy your moviewatching experience!

Quicksilver Messenger Service – Live at the Fillmore June 7, 1968
Purple Pyramid Records
Rating: B
San Francisco, California in 1968 was the Hippie Palace of the World. Famous for bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Big Brother and the Holding Company, the scene was alive with the youth movement of the day, which was sex, drugs, rock and roll, and, of course, peace. Music was a big part of the movement and while they were not as big as the aforementioned bands, Quicksilver Messenger Service was a top draw for the day.
This rare performance, pulled from the iconic musical venue The Fillmore West, is a time capsule of what things were like back in the San Francisco days. Purple Pyramid Records, a division of Cleopatra Records, has unearthed a true gem in this performance as it features the classic two guitar lineup up of Gary Dunan and John Cipollina tearing it up through the bands most known songs including "Pride Of Man," "Acapulco Gold & Silver," and "Light Your Windows" and an amazing version of the blues classic "Who Do You Love?"
The liner notes were superbly written by music historian Dave Thompson and the digipak also includes rare photographs.
1. Pride of Man
2. If You Live (Your Time Will Come)
3. Dino's Song
4. Smokestack Lightnin'
5. Codine
6. Light Your Windows
7. Mona
8. Calvary
1. Back Door Man
2. Acapulco Gold & Silver
3. Who Do You Love?
4. The Fool

How to: Validate Data During Row Changes
Validating data is the process of checking the values being entered into your applications data. It is a good practice to check these values before sending updates to the underlying data store. This is because it reduces the potential number of round trips between an application and the data store.
The Dataset Designer creates a partial class where validation logic can be added to a dataset. The designer-generated dataset will not delete or change any code in the partial class.
You can validate data when the values in a data row change by responding to the RowChanging event. When raised, this event passes an event argument (e.Row) that contains the values being proposed for each column in the current row. Based on the contents of each column in e.Row, you can:
Accept the proposed value by doing nothing.
Reject the proposed value by setting the column error (SetColumnError) from within the row-changing event handler.
Optionally use an ErrorProvider control to display an error message to the user. For more information, see ErrorProvider Component (Windows Forms).
You can also perform validation during individual column changes by using the ColumnChanging event. For more information, see How to: Validate Data During Column Changes.
You can write code to verify that each column you want to validate contains data that meets the requirements of your application. If the proposed value is unacceptable, set the column to indicate that it contains an error. The following examples set a column error when the Quantity column is 0 or less. The row-changing event handlers should resemble the following examples.
To validate data when a row changes (Visual Basic)
Open your dataset in the Dataset Designer. For more information, see How to: Open a Dataset in the Dataset Designer.
Double-click the title bar of the table you want to validate. This action automatically creates the RowChanging event handler of the DataTable in the dataset's partial-class file.
Double-click to the left of the table name to create the row-changing event handler. If you double-click the table name, you can edit the table name.
Private Sub Order_DetailsDataTable_Order_DetailsRowChanging( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Order_DetailsRowChangeEvent ) Handles Me.Order_DetailsRowChanging If CType(e.Row.Quantity, Short) <= 0 Then e.Row.SetColumnError("Quantity", "Quantity must be greater than 0") Else e.Row.SetColumnError("Quantity", "") End If End Sub
To validate data when a row changes (C#)
Open your dataset in the Dataset Designer. For more information, see How to: Open a Dataset in the Dataset Designer.
Double-click the title bar of the table you want to validate. This action creates a partial-class file for the DataTable.
The Dataset Designer does not automatically create an event handler for the RowChanging event. You have to create a method to handle the RowChanging event and execute code to hook up the event in the table's initialization method.
Copy the following code into the partial class:
public override void EndInit() { base.EndInit(); Order_DetailsRowChanging += TestRowChangeEvent; } public void TestRowChangeEvent(object sender, Order_DetailsRowChangeEvent e) { if ((short)e.Row.Quantity <= 0) { e.Row.SetColumnError("Quantity", "Quantity must be greater than 0"); } else { e.Row.SetColumnError("Quantity", ""); } }

flickr by matiasjajajaIf there's one thing I've learned from managing online marketing programs for Fortune 500 caliber brands it's that most of them are extremely inefficient, mainly due to internal bureaucracy that slows down decision-making and implementation to a snail's pace. If a small business were to operate that way, it would go out of a business in about a week.
That said, I've also learned that many of these larger, enterprise-caliber brands have learned to leverage certain online marketing techniques quite well. I'm convinced that one of the main reasons small businesses don't leverage these techniques is simple lack of awareness, so I figured I would share my own personal list of highly effective enterprise techniques that a small business can use:

Hiya Components
Hope you're all doing well!
Just wanted to tell you guys about this amazing device that I recently received from ASUS. It's the Asus Zenpad C 7.0, and it has quickly become my go to device when I need to get things quickly. I have been using the tablet for almost two weeks now and the credit for the increase in my posts and prompt replies on instagram facebook and twitter can definitely be credited to this cute compact device.
So here's my review:
The Screen:
Asus Zenpad C 7.0 has a 7" screen that is perfect for viewing and taking pictures, browsing the net and with an integrated sound system embedded in its back cover it takes movie watching to a whole new level.
With a 5 MP camera and the editing techniques that come along with it, its made my work a lot easier. Its given selfie a whole new dimension by providing a virtual make up kit that helps me look my best at all times.
As a blogger and fashion enthusiast it is important for me to be upto date with all the latest fashion events happening around the world. The tablet comes with a 1 Gb RAM that helps me switch and work on multiple apps instantaneously and makes multitasking much easier. Further now I don't have to transfer my memory card from my DSLR to my computer to get things done, when this little device helps take care of it.
With so much happening on one device you would imagine it to not have a good battery life. But this is where the Asus Zenpad C 7.0 rises above the rest. With a 8hr battery life I can use it on the go, check my emails, watch movies, talk to people without having to worry about charging it. And if that wasn't enough ASUS also gives an additional battery set that is cherry on the top.
It's the nicest compact device that I have come across in a while and is definitely one of my strong recommendations.

Donaly Redfin Lure Ad
This Donaly Redfin Lure Ad Comes to us from the magazine, Recreation, and was published in 1915. The short blurb describing the antique fishing lure properties and set up and how it relates to fish attacking it.
Donaly Redfin Lure Weedless Casting Bait
A weedless casting bait which seems destined to be popular where introduced is the Redfin Model illustrated herewith. Eastern anglers speak very highly of it. It is a floating bait, finished in white enamel with red striping, body is 3 1/4″ inches long, fins are nickle, hooks nickle plated, one weedless tail hook and a pair of detachable belly hooks not shown. The tail hook is "pivotally" connected to the body, riding in a slot in the tail, and is illustrated in the extreme hooking position. The body is weighted to float right side up, and the weight of the hook keeps it in the weedless position, the point being protected by the wooden tail of the body. A strike on the tail from a "short striking" or rear attacking fish forces the hook to instantly rise to the hooking position. The belly hooks are for side strikes. Price $.75 cents.
