Friday, May 24, 2013 - Just and Adam RAW - FULL CONTACT
Just and Adam RAW - FULL CONTACT
Just Angelo and Adam Rupert have just finished a very hard fought wrestling match, where Just was victorious. They stand and Adam raises Just's hand to signal the victory. Then as the look each other over something is happening to their cocks. Just is, quickly, very hard indeed and he reaches out for Adam, pushing him to his knees. Adam complies and takes Just's big, hard cock in his mouth. He sucks, lovingly, on that hard cock, wrapping his lips tight around the head as he looks up into Just's eyes. His mouth really works on that cock, keeping it throbbing in his mouth. He is also very hard himself and, in time, they change positions, with Just on his knees sucking Adam. He also does a great job with the sucking, Adam's cock responding very well to the feeling of those hot lips on it. Next Just lays on the wrestling mats and Adam positions himself so that they can 69. Adam quickly takes Just's big cock in his mouth again and sucks on it. Just reaches over and does the same to Adam. They suck like that for a while before Adam goes up on his knees, wanking Just as his own cock is sucked. Then it is back to 69ing before Adam sits his ass over Just's face, so his hole can be rimmed. Just's tongue reaches out and laps at that hot hole, getting it nice and wet. Adam then moves and sits his tight hole down on Just's big cock. With that big cock deep in his ass Adam wanks himself as Just fucks him. Standing up, Just behind Adam the fucking continues. Adam is on one leg, the other held up by Just as his dick is working in and out of that eager ass. That big dick really stretches Adam's hole as he wanks himself. Adam's cock needs to hole action too and he lays on the mat so that Just can sit on his hard cock. Just does just that and slides his tight hole right over Adam's dick. He wanks his own throbbing cock as Adam fucks him nice and deep. Soon Just is shooting his cream over Adam's leg as he continues to take that big cock in his ass. Adam needs to cream too and stands in front of the kneeling Just and dumps his load over his face. Having both shot their loads Adam kneels on the mat and leans over to kiss Just to bring the scene to a perfect end.

I've been preparing the first outdoor grill party in over a year. For nearly all of last year I was feeling poorly. Not any more. I've been celebrating by long walks with Aida, and tonight a grill party in the backyard. It will be coldish. But rain is forecast for the weekend. Ms. Jackie, the Jack Daniels dog, is now riding around with all fours on the skateboard. It's supposed to take six months of training to get a dog to that point. Today, I asked Pavel Nikos where in the Czech Republic the dog skateboard championships are held. He looked at me like I was crazy.
Just Angelo and Adam Rupert serve us up a fabulous duo as our lead feature today. They are followed by Eduard Kernel in his erotic video and Jozka Uzel's session stills. We also have scene 3 of our fully remastered movie Inside Jirka Gregor.
Our castees today look very good too. They are Milos Kajes, Kristian Sakal and Ivo Bohatyr. They all look good but my pick for today will be Milos Kajes.

Not a Member? Join OSA
Of the many public policy issues being addressed in the U.S. Congress, one area that affects the lives of every American is science. Advancements in scientific research and development provide better health care, a more secure homeland and defense system, advanced technologies in transportation, medicine, military capabilities and energy efficiency.
Many of these advancements would not be possible without federal funding of research & development (R&D) and science education. OSA monitors actions of Congress on issues of interest to OSA members and to the larger scientific community, such as:
OSA advocates research and development in alternative and efficient energy generation and conservation. Toward that end, OSA supports government funding and incentives that spur innovation in optics and photonics in order to foster new energy technologies.
OSA believes a robust scientific enterprise benefits economic development and well-being. OSA, therefore, supports increased federal funding of science, math, engineering and technology basic and applied research and development across all federal agencies, particularly optics and photonics research and development. The U.S. Congress, through the America COMPETES Act, calls for the doubling of budgets at three key scientific agencies within the federal government - the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of Energy Office of Science - over a period of 10 years.
OSA supports increased funding for K-16 STEM education. OSA recognizes that the future of science rests with today's children. OSA also supports efforts that advocate for the teaching of evolution in public schools. OSA believes presenting alternative proposals related to the development of species, such as creationism or "intelligent design," is not appropriate as part of the science curriculum for public schools.
OSA supports efforts to call on the U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security to fix visa backlogs and expedite visa processes for individuals intending to travel to the United States. OSA is specifically concerned with the ability of international scientists and scholars to visit the U.S.
OSA is committed to making publicly funded research results accessible. Therefore, OSA supports public policy practices that enable public access to government funded scholarly works. Such policies must recognize the value added by non-profit scientific publishers to the process of research and development as well as the legitimate costs incurred by that effort.
OSA recognizes the important role that elemental resources play in modern optics and photonics research, engineering, and manufacturing. For example, limited supplies of rare earth elements, high purity metals, and liquid helium have led to market disruptions and imbalances. Industrial practice and governmental policies must be mindful of these needs as they directly impact technological progress across many vital areas. OSA advocates for consistent access to elemental resources and encourages conservation, sustainable practices, and an open marketplace.
Many OSA Corporate Member companies and OSA individual members employed at small businesses rely on federal government support to carry out high technology R&D. Congress allocates funds for two programs - Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) - via the Small Business Administration (SBA). More information on these programs is available on the SBIR Web site.
A number of OSA Corporate Member companies are subject to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which place controls on high technology commercial exports that may or may not have national security implications or military uses. More information on export controls is available on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Web site.

Singapore Exchange Ltd. will increase revenue from derivatives 10 percent to 15 percent this year as the operator of Southeast Asia's biggest bourse introduces more products linked to benchmark stock indexes in the region, President Muthukrishnan Ramaswami said in an interview.
The bourse plans to add equity-index futures on the Philippines and Thailand to offerings that include Nikkei 225 Stock Average and Indian contracts, he said. Derivatives account for between 25 percent and 28 percent of total revenue, Ramaswami said. Singapore Exchange, which failed in its bid to buy Australia's main bourse two years ago, is focused on Asia and doesn't want to own venues in the U.S. or Europe, he said.
SGX is planning yuan and foreign-exchange futures, as well as commodities contracts as it seeks to become a trading hub, Ramaswami said. An agreement to offer reduced-size London Metal Exchange futures will probably be renegotiated after the largest bourse for industrial-metal trading was bought by Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd., he said.
"Singapore has become a good facilitator of derivatives transactions," Ramaswami said. "It's much easier to transact in Singapore than to go directly into each of these individual markets. Investors find that rules don't change overnight. The jurisdiction is safe. Its a AAA-rated country."
The cost of complying with stricter global regulation of derivatives is among the challenges the bourse faces, he said. Jurisdictions around the world are requiring more transactions to be processed through clearinghouses after the financial crisis that began in 2008.
OTC Review
Singapore's central bank released a discussion paper last month about proposals to regulate over-the-counter derivativestransactions. SGX, the only licensed clearinghouse in the city- state, processes non-deliverable forwards and standardized interest rate swaps in Singapore dollars and U.S. dollars. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has said it may allow other entities to provide clearing and repository services.
"Compliance costs have grown significantly for us," Ramaswami said. "Keeping up with the regulation and applying to be recognized in each jurisdiction is a cost issue."
SGX spends about S$30 million ($24 million) annually to comply with regulations, he said, compared with S$10 million a few years ago.
SGX reported in January a 17 percent jump in net income to S$76.3 million for the three months ended Dec. 31. Average daily transactions in the derivatives market increased 30 percent to a quarterly record high of 358,532 contracts during the period, the company said. By contrast, the average value of shares traded rose 11 percent, it said.
Iron Ore
Clearinghouses operate as central counterparties for every buy and sell order executed by their members. Each party posts collateral to the clearinghouse, which is the intermediary in the trade, reducing the risk in the event a trader defaults on a deal as the counterparties would spread the open positions to the remaining members.
Processing of commodities transactions such as iron ore is another increasing source of revenue for Singapore Exchange, according to Ramaswami. The bourse had a record 18.2 million metric tons of iron-ore swap and options contracts in January, SGX said.
SGX AsiaClear, which clears more than 90 percent of the world's iron ore swaps, will start offering an iron ore futures contract on April 8.
'Enormous Potential'
The potential loss of LME mini contracts, offered since 2011, after Hong Kong's purchase of the venue will have limited impact because they aren't a big business, Ramaswami said. SGX offers LME futures on aluminum, copper and zinc. Just two zinc contracts changed hands in February and none for the other metals, according to monthly statistics from the bourse.
"We don't feel an intense competition with Hong Kong," he said. "Both of us have roles to play. Hong Kong is very much more China focused and we are very much more Asia focused. The two don't eat each others' lunch. We have an enormous growth potential."
SGX isn't currently discussing mergers with rivals, Ramaswami said. Exchange operators have been the subject of $50 billion in attempted deals in the past three years, most of them never consummated, amid shrinking profits for securities trading, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Regulators scuttled a merger agreement between NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse in February 2012 because it would have created a dominant European exchange operator for derivatives.
ICE Envy
"We don't have any ambition to buy and run something in the west," Ramaswami said. "We're not likely to buy something in the U.S. and Europe to run it there."
The IntercontinentalExchange Inc.'s proposed $8.2 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext is an interesting deal, he said.
"I'm envious," he said. "The real thing that ICE is buying is derivatives business in Europe. The search for scale has dropped off most people's radar and its been replaced by relevance to a marketplace. We want to be relevant in the Asian context."

Complete Story
Schedule II and the DEA
PA Schedule II and the DEA
You cannot currently prescribe Schedule II even though HB284 passed.
When a state changes its laws pertaining to controlled substances the changes do not go into effect "automatically." After a state authorizes controlled drug prescribing for PAs or changes the schedules PAs are authorized to prescribe, the DEA Office of Chief Counsel reviews the law and/or regs to assure that the DEA should indeed register PAs, and for which schedules.
This means that when HB284 becomes law in March, you probably will not be able to prescribe Schedule II at that time but will need to wait until Ohio gets DEA approval.
In order for this review to occur, the Ohio State Medical Board must send the new law or regulation to the Office of the Chief Counsel for the DEA.
This review can take several months to complete, and PAs may not register with the DEA nor prescribe the medications authorized by the new law or regulation until the DEA reviews and approves the change.
In addition, the OSMB will need to update the PA Formulary to indicate what category the Schedule II drugs will appear. This should happen in the rule process.
OAPA will continue to urge the OSMB to finalize the rules and file the appropriate information with DEA as soon as possible.

Exeter gained an early advantage on their promotion rivals with a 2-0 victory over struggling Accrington on Friday night, with substitute Jimmy Keohane bagging both goals late on.
The Grecians have now moved up to third in npower League Two, for a few hours at least, while visiting Stanley have now won just one of their previous 16 matches.
The first half was a drab affair with the only highlight a long-range shot by Accrington's James Gray hitting the window of a house some 50 yards behind the Exeter goal.
Gray was equally as wasteful in the second half with another effort high and wide, but it was more than Exeter could muster as the hosts did not have an effort on goal until Keohane's opener.
The Irishman came on after 65 minutes and bagged his first 14 minutes later. It came after a clever one-two between Tommy Doherty and substitute Arron Davies, with the former having the presence of mind to lay the ball off to Keohane who finished with style.
Accrington almost levelled when Danny Coles sliced a clearance against his own crossbar, but the home side's second goal came from a dreadful back pass by Mark Hughes which gave Stanley goalkeeper Paul Rachubka plenty to do.
He was dispossessed by Jamie Cureton and Exeter's 18-goal top goalscorer laid the ball off to Keohane for an easy second.

TORONTO — A dissonant note was struck at the inaugural convocation of the Canadian Yeshiva and Rabbinical School when its newly installed chancellor bemoaned the lack of Jewish community support for the new institution.
"I was deeply disturbed and even distressed when I heard that certain sectors of the local community have not given the support that this sacred institution deserves. Rather, they sought to crush it as millstones crush wheat," said Rabbi Daniel Sperber at the celebratory event Nov. 27 at the University of Toronto's Isabel Bader Theatre.
The school, which began offering classes to the community in September, expects to open its seminary in 2012. It needs the "total support of all members of the Toronto Jewish community and indeed the Canadian Jewish community," Rabbi Sperber said.
"Some elements of this community may find difficulty in accepting the fact that a new institution is being created which may challenge certain basic tenets of their Jewish position. To them, I would ask that they be silent."
Rabbi Sperber also noted the uniqueness of the school being part of the Toronto School of Theology (TST), a consortium of seven theological seminaries affiliated with the University of Toronto. A veteran of interfaith dialogue, he noted that such interactions clarify areas of common ground and "fortif[y] our own faith," while at the same time fostering an appreciation of other religions.
Martin Campbell, chair of the board of governors of TST, expressed its commitment to supporting the new yeshiva.
Among other speakers at the convocation was Senator Linda Frum, who brought greetings from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Former British prime minister Tony Blair, who now runs a foundation he established to promote understanding about religions, expressed support in a video.
Rose Wolfe, chancellor emerita of the University of Toronto, also took part as installing officer.
The new yeshiva, which has an interfaith advisory board, is housed at U of T's University of St. Michael's College. It is not affiliated with any Jewish denomination. Instead, the school hews to what is described on its website as "classic" or "pre-denominational" Judaism.
In an interview following the convocation, Rabbi Roy Tanenbaum, the school's rosh yeshiva and the driving force behind its creation, told The CJN that supporters of the Conservative movement's Jewish Theological Seminary "might worry that this will draw away from the Jewish Theological Seminary, when we don't think it will, because JTS follows a much different pattern of Halachah than we do."
As well, he added, some Orthodox people question whether the yeshiva is "really" traditional, because of the Conservative background of some of its faculty members.
Rabbi Tanenbaum served as a second rabbi at Toronto's Beth Tzedec Congregation until his retirement in 2009. Beth Tzedec ended its affiliation with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism in 2008. Rabbi Wayne Allen, the yeshiva's provost, was longtime spiritual leader of Beth Tikvah Synagogue, which is Conservative. Rabbi Sperber, a 1992 recipient of Israel's prestigious Israel Prize for his scholarship, is a professor of Talmud at Bar-Ilan University and president of its Jesselson Institute for Advanced Torah Studies. He describes himself as centrist Orthodox.
Explaining part of the raison d'être behind the establishment of the new yeshiva, Randall Starr, chair of its board of governors, said at the convocation, "Up until now, Canada has had to go outside its borders to fill its pulpits and other rabbinical positions."
In his address at the convocation, Rabbi Tanenbaum said the school is initiating "a 25-to-50-year plan to reinvigorate Canadian Jewry. Each year, we aim to send out another wave of rabbis – rabbis who understand and speak Canadian – to organize, to develop and to lead underserviced Jewish communities."
The yeshiva's honorary chair, retired senator Jerry Grafstein – who once considered pursuing rabbinic studies – called the convocation "a splendid and striking event."

Tech Savvy: Riddle me this
Hey there, Tech Savvy Fans! This week we had a couple of great reader questions, and I want to just dive right into those. Keep your questions coming; they help me learn more about some really awesome things! I hope my suggestions help and I'd love to hear back if you had success.
Gettin' Ink Done
Q: I have a 4 in 1 wireless HP printer. Have used non HP ink in it with much success. Last week it said blk low so I popped in another non HP blk. This time it tried the incompatible cartridge words and refused to start up. I said OK to HP and bought the real deal ink and it still says incompatible cartridge.
Any support phone number you might have in your box of tricks?
A: Ever since there were printers, there have been ink refills and 3rd party brands that provide cost effective alternatives to the OEM cartridges. I have used a fair number myself- different brands, ink refills, universals, etc. each of these have their benefits, but the perennial question is always, "Which of these will work as long as I have my printer?"
The short answer is not many, if any. For better or worse the tramp of technology's marching feet keeps moving the standard. An example might be looking at phones. We have gone from cranking on a wooden box to plastic corded, to cordless now to mobile computing hubs that handle our daily lives.
What happens is that a third party manufacturer will create an ink cartridge that will work in multiple printers, but as time goes on the available printers change and the third party cartridge manufacturer will naturally want to ensure that their cartridge fits the most current printers. Unfortunately, that means that eventually the older printers will start to fall off the list as the cartridges change to fit the newer printers. They cartridge itself may physically fit the same way, but the alignment of the actual ink components may change and that is where we run into problems.
On the other hand, equipment does wear out, and it may just be that enough ink has accumulated in the printer that it is clogged. Some printers will have settings that you can use to clean the printer heads and that might be a good place to start.
Here are a couple of links that you might try to see if there are other cartridge alternatives that may still fit your printer:
Linking hide and seek
Q: Is it OK to have several domain names going to one website? I read somewhere once that search engines didn't like that.
A: It is true that links to and from your website will boost your SEO, but there is a little more than meets the eye in just setting up a bunch of URLs that take you to a specific site. What it sounds like you're describing to me is what is called URL Redirect, it's a common tool used when there are associations with terms you want to be linked to. An example might be if your website is www.joeschickenshack.com but you realize that others might just type www.joeschicken.com and you want those people to still get to your site. You can also use URL Redirects to correct simple typos or if you switch your domain, examples like: www.joeschikcen.com or if you change from www.eatatjoeschickenshack.com to www.joeschicken.com. Generally speaking the purpose of URL Redirects is to make getting to the site simpler.
That being said, simply buying up as many domain names is not necessarily a shoo-in for SEO "Juice." The power behind SEO link relevance comes from the content, meta tags, and links on your site and to your site. The web "crawlers" that determine SEO don't necessarily scan the entire website's content, but will depend on the meta tags, HTML tags written into the website's background, to determine the content of the site. They will also take into account how relevant a site is by the number of links that refer to that website what the traffic volume is from these sites. For example, if you have a financial planning business you may include links to the IRS, state sites, and such for reference, this is relevant content and will help you. The real power is when one, or more, of these sites recognizes you as an "expert" and links to your page. For example, if you are an auto repair shop that is the only local option to have work on a Ferrari, other shops and dealers may link back to you because they cannot offer those services and you are the sole provider.
Long story short, the real SEO power comes from other sites linking back to yours, not just the ability to buy up as many domain names as you can, conversely having multiple domains will not diminish your SEO all by itself.
Just an FYI for everyone... If you recall I had the opportunity, courtesy of Verizon Wireless, to demo and review the HTC Droid DNA a while back. If you remember, I was completely smitten with the phone, and I even had a reader that took my advice and purchased one. Well, my upgrade finally came due... and I got my very own Droid DNA, and it's still just as awesome as I remember.
While I was getting it set up the rep I was working with had one of the new Blackberry touch screen devices with BB10... and I was not impressed. He let me browse around through it, and although I'd welcome the opportunity to demo one more in depth, in the 10 minutes I had with it, here's what I found. It is nothing like the old Blackberry, icons are different, functionality is completely different, and more alarmingly (IMHO) is that the functionality is nothing like any other mainstream smartphone. To me, this means that anyone who was hoping for a BB resurgence will be disappointed, and anyone who has used Android, iOS or Windows will see no appeal in switching. Sorry BB, you might be a little late to this party. BTW- did you see the Federal DOJ is looking at moving to iOS instead of BB? Might be time to take up a hobby...

Mayor Don Wesely today encouraged citizens to check out the "Catalog of Gifts" now available in all public libraries in Lincoln and on the city web site. The 29-page catalog lists ways Lincoln residents can make financial contributions or donate time or specific items to city departments.
"Just last week, I announced new belt-tightening measures as we continue to watch sales tax revenues lag behind projections," said Wesely. "At the same time, our needs are growing along with our city. The people of Lincoln have historically been very generous in helping us to fund those items not covered by the budget, and we hope this catalog will give them some ideas of how their gifts can help our city."
The city has previously published similar catalogs. Mayor's Office staff found one dating back to the administration of Mayor Roland Luedtke from 1983 through 1987. Mayor Wesely said re-establishing a formal gift program provides a way for citizens to directly improve city services and the quality of life in Lincoln.
"In the catalog, you will find everything from a five-dollar smoke detector to $8.2 million for renovations at the Bennett Martin Public Library," said Wesely. "It wasn't possible to list every need, so those who would like to donate items not listed are certainly welcome to do so."
Donations to the city are generally tax-deductible. The city will present donors with certificates or plaques recognizing their contributions. Copies of the catalog were mailed to business leaders earlier this year. The catalogs are also available at the Mayor's office, second floor of the County-City Building, 555 South 10th, and on the Mayor's page on the city web site.

It was Saturday morning and a beautiful winter day in western Nebraska, Hubby was home and we made plans to just relax, watch a little TV, read a bit and maybe even get some much needed time to work on the computer. I had been doing some work for our local museum so have not had much time just to myself for several days. Yesterday was the day-Yeh!
Three o'clock rolled around and it was time to open up Legacy and get to work, I'd be adding some more information which I had found and maybe a few new photos. I even have a little table by my easy chair in the living room with all the comforts that any genealogist would want at my finger tips. Computing and researching is so much fun.
Where is that "John" that I had been working on? He isn't there, is he hiding with his wife possibly? Oops, his wife is gone too and all their kids. Can a family just disappear or were they kidnapped? The dilemma of the day had started. So far, the situation had been calm but panic had started to set in. Losing a whole family is not fun and soon I discovered that not only was the family gone but also many of their friends and other relatives had also jumped ship. Those darn ancestors just didn't want to live at my house any more. I was so sad, the tears almost started to flow, then the real anger set in...I even tried to blame poor hubby for my family running away. Supper wasn't to be had at my house until they were returned. Hubby was mad at me and said he was going to leave too and didn't blame "the relatives" for leaving. Him I could send out the door with his luggage but those other relatives didn't even bother to take some of their baggage, a little of it had been left behind i.e. a few photos and miscellaneous papers. What was the deal, did they just come to get acquainted, visit for awhile, waste my precious time and then have the nerve to just get up and leave while only leaving behind a few photos to make me think that they loved me? I was just so sad.
For over two months I had been gathering all those great new ancestors, inviting them into my life and even let them bring all their records and luggage along with them. January 29th seemed to be the day that they had chosen to begin to leave even though I had given them a new place to live that was called Legacy "7.5". Since I was busy with other things in life for awhile, they just got up and left and when I decided to spend some time with them yesterday on Feb 5th, nearly half of them who had resided in ONE family file had all vanished. My Legacy program which has always been so good to me, even to the point of me loving it, had failed to make those darned relatives stay. The latest and greatest upgrade that was supposed to make their life easier and mine too coincidentally, well it had failed miserably. It just told my relatives and many ancestors to get out as they were no longer welcome or loved. I cried.
Hubby finally took pity on me and said he'd try to help IF I would please fix supper. I love sharing! He thought those relatives just had to be somewhere as when they live in a computer, they just don't disappear. He insisted they were just playing a cruel game of hide and seek. I thought he was trying to make me feel better but maybe he was just lying, after all he had not wanted to go hungry. "People and files just don't disappear", he said, and being a man I had trouble explaining to him that a Legacy file isn't your plain old standard file that just any program could find and read. He asked "have you tried the Legacy help area"? Well yes, I had been there many times and nothing was there to help find my loved ones. Now I was stupid.
One last thing I thought of, check out the Legacy Home tab in my software and where sometimes a new update will appear. There was an off chance that my loved ones may be hiding there anyway. No relatives, just a small update and "bug" fix, I was excited so I downloaded that and had the latest and greatest. Our new address was now "18.104.22.168". A pretty impressive address, surely those great people would want to come back to live with me now. YEH, WOW, GLORY!...up they popped at the door, showed their faces and wanted back in. I loved my ancestors. Supper would be served.
Hubby and I felt some better after our meal and I even told him that he could stay too since the family appeared to be moving back in. He wasn't sure that HE wanted to stay as supper wasn't up to its usual standards. Those damn relatives had spoiled it all.
Now it was time to get busy and introduce all my relatives who had come back to some new friends and loved ones. I opened the door to let them in again so they could unpack and lo and behold those same "damn" relatives had left again, hats in hand and baggage in tow. You just can't trust anyone these days.
Sadly, their clones had been living on my external hard drive and on my desktop computer too. The external died a couple weeks ago and the new one isn't due here until this coming Wednesday. I figured the clones on my desktop loved it here but discovered that they also had flown the coop. I forgot to mention that ALL my backup files from the last two years had been packed up by those relatives and had been taken along with them. The file for restoration purposes was empty. Now... just who needs two years worth of backup files? I guess that Legacy 184.108.40.206 had lured those files along with the clones away too. I am also slow, my iPad had not yet been updated with my latest files as there is so little time and so much to do. I wrote a nasty letter of disgust and will contact Legacy on Monday. I really want the rest of my ancestors and relatives back, I just hope I don't have to wait until fall and go looking for them again all by myself. Today I am not sure I love them enough to go find them all again. Life was good here—once.
The day was nearly over anyway so why not get on the desktop and do a little work before bedtime as that was always fun and relaxing. I adjusted the font size that my printer was using as my poor old eyes aren't what they used to be. Hubby went to take a nap and my favorite Chelada drink was settling my nerves from the trying day of fighting with relatives and Legacy 7.5. My partner and loving relative, You Go Girl #1, had tried to console me over my family's defection and she sent me an email about some classes she is giving. That email looked interesting so I decided to print it and see my new larger font on paper. It was awesome when the HP printed it out- only one problem: now the printer language on the display of the printer itself showed up in "Pig Latin" or "ChinoJapaRus"! I can't read anything the printer is showing me and can't change a thing. It now prints gorgeous "school" lined paper too—who knew? I downloaded the HP printer manual and found the solution as follows:
To set your language and country/region
1. Press Setup.
2. Press to highlight Preferences, and then press OK.
3. Press to highlight Set Language, and then press OK.
4. Press to scroll through the languages. When the language you want to use
appears, press OK.
5. When prompted, press to highlight Yes or No, and then press OK.
6. Press to highlight Set Country/Region, and then press OK.
7. Press to scroll through the countries/regions. When the country/region you want
to use appears, press OK.
8. When prompted, press to highlight Yes or No, and then press OK.
Well, wasn't that just great and simple! Does anybody know what the word for setup or preferences is in "Pig-ChinoJapanRus" so I can change the language on my printer? Oh my! You Go Genealogy Girl #1 has just emailed me, she is asking if I know how to swear in computer language as "Quicken" deleted all her tax information for seven years. YES I DO!!!!!!! If in question, use the "Pig-ChinoJapanRus" dictionary. It is a wonderful tool.
What a great Saturday yesterday was. The perfect day in the life of a genealogist. Now it is Sunday---what shall I do today? I wonder if my Kitchen Aid mixer still works? Hubby gave up and left me last night, work sounded more like fun even at 10 O'clock pm. Maybe a grand chocolate cake would be good peace offering. I might need his advice again someday and I certainly will need some sweetening before I tackle Legacy and HP tomorrow!
|A Day in the Life of a Genealogist!
You Go Genealogy Girl #2- Cheri
P.S. Ruby and I, The Girls, laughed until we were silly over all this "stuff" last night. What else can two silly old Grandma's do? We are getting to old to organize a protest or to hit the nightspots and drown our sorrows....even if we did, we'd be the ones to get arrested on the way home!

Staying warm and being cool
Some of us have to go outside, brace ourselves against a cold wind, scrape off our frosty cars, and go to work, but Casper is spending this chilly winter morning in a more sensible way.
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)
IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)

35 retail spaces had to be opened in just six months to ensure Millennium Bank's expansion in Romania had an adequate retail network. Our team in Romania successfully handled this multiple-property requirement which included office space for their headquarters, retail spaces and residential units for the management team.
Positioned as one of the most important players in the banking sector, Millennium had sophisticated real estate needs and they chose Colliers based on our ability to provide integrated services and in depth expertise in the Romanian real estate market. As a result of taking a long term approach to providing our clients with real estate solutions that meet their business needs, we began by providing Millennium with a temporary solution in the form of 3,000 square metres of office space, located in a quality building in Bucharest's CBD. The bank's headquarters were established in Buzesti, also in the CBD, the first retail unit was opened in the same area.
The solution we offered was strategic in terms of understanding the client's needs:
• To create a powerful image and;
• To ensure rapid development.
The team succeeded in finding Millennium a final solution, consolidating all operations in the City Gate building.
Due to the long-term approach taken, we were able to negotiate good financial terms for Millennium and the flexibility to extend the leasing contract for an extra floor based on their growth strategy, one year before the actual relocation.

Mindmapping in a post-PC world

Even thought I do not use Ipad or a Smart phone (boring I know as I only want to make and receive calls on a phone!) this sounds great. If this performs as well as the article reads, then this is a useful contribution. Love the fact that it talks to so many products

I'm not an iPad user; however I would like to see iThoughts being made available for use on other tablets too.
I spoke with a colleague recently regarding creating a common file format; and IMO, iThoughts seems to have ingeniously tackled an angle on this need for the mind mapper. A wonderful idea from Craig Scott regarding iThoughts importing many of the mainstream mapping formats and cuts through the need to have and own many of the mapping products it imports.
Craig deserves to have tablet developers knocking at his door to have him develop with their product in view for iThoughts.
This makes me want to order an iPad 2.

I'm having an iPad and also several mind map apps. There are two that I'm using: iThoughts, just for the given reasons, and MindMeister as the web based variant. And yes, last time I was making a mind map of a big event I didn't us my PC but gave it a try with the iPad and iThoughts!

A fascinating and thought provoking post. I'm certainly finding that my initial idea flashes occur in the most inconvenient and unconnected places and the more portable the device the better it is. I'm a long time user of iThoughts and lately iThoughtsHD. Superb products from a true innovator. Thanks Craig

Recently, I attended a 3-day conference and took notes with iThoughts on my iPad. Unlike a laptop, the iPad was quiet (no keyboard sound), non-intrusive (just another mobile device in the room), and easy to carry around. It's a similar effect in meetings, where a PC makes some attendees nervous (what is he doing?), whereas an iPad is much more readily accepted. For me, the combo of iPad + iThoughts has really changed how I take notes and capture ideas.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced his selection of Marvin S. Krout as Director of the Lincoln- Lancaster County Planning Department, pending approval from the City Council and County Board. Krout has been Director of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Metropolitan Area Planning Department in Wichita, Kansas since 1986.
"Marvin's knowledge and experience with a community that is larger than ours will be a tremendous asset to us," Wesely said. "In a sense he has seen our future, or what it could be, and can help guide our growth in a positive direction."
Krout, 55, earned a Master of City Planning degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973 and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1973. He also earned a Bachelor of Architecture in Design degree from the University of Illinois in 1970. Before moving to Wichita, Krout held several positions in the Department of Planning and Development in Dallas, Texas. He served as an urban planner, manager of the Department's neighborhood planning section and chief zoning planner.
In Wichita, Krout managed a staff of 30. His department provides comprehensive planning services for the City of Wichita (population of 348,000 and area of 141 square miles) and Sedgwick County (population of 458,000 and area of 1,007 square miles).
Lincoln and Lancaster County's Planning Department has a staff of 20. Lincoln has a population of 225,000 and an area of almost 80 square miles. Lancaster County has a population of 250,000 and an area of 846 square miles.
"I am very pleased that Marvin will be joining us," County Board Chairman Bob Workman said. "His credentials are excellent and his reputation as a cooperative facilitator is impressive."
Krout will be paid $105,000 in his new position in Lincoln and Lancaster County, the same salary he receives in Wichita. He will assume his new responsibilities on September 3. Mayor Wesely worked with a diverse committee of citizens and elected officials to interview candidates for this critical position.
"Lincoln is a lovely city with a strong tradition of good planning and a real spirit of cooperation," Krout said. "I'm looking forward to working with the community on planning its next generation of growth in a way that is a further enrichment."
"We have heard nothing but good things about Marvin," said City Council Member Coleen Seng, who served on the search committee. "I look forward to working with him."
Wesely has also appointed Kent Morgan, Planning Department Assistant Director, as an Administrative Assistant in the Mayor's office to fill an open position. Morgan has been a Planning Department employee for more than 20 years and most recently coordinated the adoption of the new Comprehensive Plan for Lincoln and Lancaster County. He has served as Interim Planning Director since Kathleen Sellman departed in April to return to Colorado.
Wesely praised Morgan as a versatile hard-working professional with a great wealth of experience and an impeccable reputation.
Mike DeKalb, who has been with the Planning Department for nearly 30 years in various capacities, will serve as Interim Director until Krout arrives. DeKalb works predominantly on issues affecting Lancaster County and the environment. Wesely said DeKalb, with his extensive experience, will do an excellent job in overseeing the department during this transition.
The Planning Department provides professional planning services to the City and County. Its responsibilities include implementing the Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations, design standards, land use regulations, analysis and research.

Standout Middle Distance Runner Chosen for Honor by Teammates
NEW HAVEN – Junior Timothy Hillas was selected by a vote of his teammates as the 2012-2013 Yale track and field captain at the team's annual banquet on Tuesday. Hillas has emerged as one of the Ivy League's elite middle distance runners over the course of the season, qualifying for the IC4A Championships in the 3000-meter run (8:12.55) indoors and in the 1500-meter run (3:48.12) outdoors.
"Tim had a breakthrough season in 2012," said Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field David Shoehalter. "The dedication he's shown to the team and his training are sure to serve him (and us) well in 2012-2013."
Hillas commented that he was honored and humbled by his selection.
"Being captain of Yale track and field is more than I could have hoped for in my time at Yale," he said. "Yale track has been a second family. I run, eat, study and live with the guys on the team and I wouldn't have it any other way."
As far as his goals for the team, Hillas stressed that each athlete focus on his individual performances, and that the team results would come naturally.
"We are already a close community," he said. "As we compete together and succeed together that community feeling will only rise. Ivy League track is getting better all the time and if we are going to compete with the top teams then we all need to do better on an individual basis. Accomplishing this, Yale track will succeed, I have no doubt."
Hillas is a global affairs major in Ezra Stiles College and is from Princeton, N.J.

With just over a week to go before budget sequestration is set to go into effect, it is becoming increasingly likely the March 1 deadline will come and go without an agreement by Congress and the President on a fiscal agreement to avoid the automatic cuts, according to a report today from the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA).
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the American Meat Institute that sequestration, which would impose across the board cuts to most federal spending, would force the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to furlough Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) meat inspectors.
As the specter of the March 1 deadline looms, a number of plans to delay or avoid sequestration have emerged. One plan, introduced last week by Senate Democrats and set to be voted on next week, would delay the automatic cuts until January 2014 by cutting defense spending and direct payments, while also raising additional revenue.
The plan would eliminate direct payments and use $3.5 billion of those savings to extend 24 of the 37 expiring portions of the 2008 Farm Bill that weren't extended by the Fiscal Cliff bill, such as disaster assistance and some energy programs. The remaining $27.5 billion would go to avoiding the sequester cuts across federal agencies.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Oct. 23, 2011) – ETSU freshman Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) continued her strong play of late, firing a first round score of 1-under-par 71 and finishing tied for fourth on the individual leaderboard midway through second round play Sunday in the Palmetto Intercollegiate at Oak Point Golf Club.
The day's second round was postponed due to darkness and will be concluded early Monday morning, followed by third and final round action in the afternoon.
Wahl, who posted a career-best finish with a sixth-place showing at the Lady Pirate Intercollegiate two weeks ago, picked up where she left off at that event by powering the ETSU women's golf team on Sunday.

I'm *this close* to finishing a MOC, and while the outer walls are done and ready, the inside of the building is hollowed and could be given an interior. It looks great, but the possibility of building an interior to make it seem more "complete" is nagging away at me. It got me wondering where everyone else felt about building interiors and their importance.
After all, with all the great castle mocs, would these builds be enhanced at all with a functional inside of the building? Or is this just more of a play feature, a kind of dollhouse mode for the builder themselves (yes, sometimes I do play with my figs around the mocs )? Maybe you never build interiors, or you always do, either way, i'm wondering what everyone else thinks.

Elk County hit with another arson
JOHNSONBURG – Elk County was burned with another arson case after an early-morning fire torched a residence owned by Albert Lee Abplanalp, age 59, at 208 Church St. in Johnsonburg.The initial call was placed at 12:58 a.m. as a fire destroyed a single-stall garage, four residential structures, and a vehicle. The residence at 208 Church St. sustained the most damage, as the fire originated in a detached single-stall garage at the property and spread to the main residence situated only a few feet away.Flames also destroyed a 2003 Chevrolet SUV parked nearby and owned by Benji Fields of 206 Church St. Radiant heat from the fire also damaged 204 and 206 Church St. and caused minor damage at 223 Willow St. The cause of the fire was determined to be arson following an investigation headed by Trooper Greg Agosti, a State Fire Marshal for the Pennsylvania State Police.Damage is estimated at $200,000. There were no injuries reported and Abplanalp was not home at the time of the fire.The St. Marys, Ridgway, and Wilcox fire departments assisted members of the Johnsonburg Fire Department in battling the fire. The American Red Cross assisted Abplanalp, as his home was severely damaged in the fire. Reports indicate Abplanalp did not have insurance coverage.The investigation is continuing. Area residents are reminded to contact police if they observe suspicious activity in their neighborhood at the time the activity is occurring. Anyone with any information regarding the fire is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Fire Marshal at 814-776-6136 or the Johnsonburg Borough Police Department at 814-772-0000.

DailyDirt: Games Aren't Just For Fun Anymore
from the urls-we-dig-up deptGamification is a nice buzzword for "tricking" people into doing useful things. Players can be rewarded with badges or points or just the satisfaction of winning the game. And in return, the game designer filters out spam or translates text or discovers a genius who can unlock the ninth chevron. Here are a few more examples.
- The game Foldit gets players to predict the structure of protein molecules, and it actually helped solve the structure of a protein-cutting enzyme in about 3 weeks. The cheat codes for the game probably helped... [url]
- DARPA has a game that lets players track down submarines -- essentially teaching software for autonomous anti-submarine robots while they play. Sounds a bit like The Last Starfighter, but for submarines. [url]
- From some of the same folks who brought you reCAPTCHAs, there's a game that helps you learn another language, and at the same time, help translate websites into almost any other common language. "I am a jelly donut" -- for everyone! [url]

March 27, 2007
In a fourth and final game against Evansville, the Bisons could not hold an early 2-0 lead, as they fell 8-6 to the Purple Aces on Tuesday, March 27.
The Bisons dropped their season-opening series to Evansville two games to one. After dropping the first two games, right-hander Matt Schnelly allowed one run in five innings to earn the Bisons' first win of the season.
The Bisons wasted no time getting on the board on Tuesday. With one out in the first, Allen Bolden walked, before advancing to second on a single by Caleb Joseph. Ryan Wilkins followed with a double to left field, plating Bolden for the Bisons' first run of the game. Casey Bond added an RBI groundout, giving the Bisons' a 2-0 lead.
The Purple Aces scored a run in the bottom of the inning to pull within one, before tying the game with a run in the fourth, and taking the lead with another two in the fifth.
The Bisons tied the game with two runs in the sixth. Wilkins led off the inning with a single up the middle. A single by Bond put runners on first and second with no outs. Justin Sanders followed with a sacrifice bunt, advancing both runners into scoring position, for Shane Simpkins who singled up the middle, to knot the game at four.
However, Evansville added four runs in the bottom of the inning to take an 8-4 lead.
The Bisons added a run on an RBI single by Wilkins in the seventh, and another on an RBI double off the bat of Clay Lehning in the eighth, but it was not enough as the Bisons were defeated 8-6.
Wilkins led the Bisons on offense, going 3-5 with two RBIs, and a run scored.
Left-hander, Josh Spicer, recorded the loss to drop his record to 0-1.
The Bisons are back in action, when they return home to take on North Florida at Dugan Field on Friday, March 30. The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

A blog about fog
Do we drive faster when our vision is impaired? As eLife, a new open-access online journal, has officially launched this week, here's our take on some research they published in advance that shows what happens to our visual perception when faced with fog.
Fog is one of the more difficult conditions to drive in. Even Father Christmas would struggle if he didn't have his handy red-nosed reindeer to guide his sleigh. But what about those of us who just need to get home? Researchers used to believe that people drove faster in low-visibility conditions because they underestimated their speed. But a group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybergenetics in Germany has now found that the visual system of our brain actually tells us to do the opposite in the fog.
Previous studies used a simulation of fog where visibility was reduced evenly across someone's area of vision. This is a good way of simulating a windshield that has steamed up or is dirty, but it's not good at simulating real fog. Fog is distance dependent: it makes visibility increasingly poor the further away an object is. This distance-dependent visibility was what the team in Germany wanted to test.
The group used state-of-the-art virtual reality to see how fast drivers would travel in various visibility conditions. The drivers were first shown a scene to simulate them travelling at a certain speed. They were then asked to say what speed they thought they were travelling at, at different levels of visibility.
The researchers could show that, in distance independent visibility, like a steamed-up windshield, drivers underestimated their speed and therefore went faster, as expected. But with distance-dependent visibility, like real fog, drivers tended to overestimate their speed and slow down. This went against what was previously thought.
To really test their theory, the group wanted to see what results they would get if the distance-dependent visibility was reversed, a condition they called 'anti-fog'. In this simulation, visibility became clearer the further away an object was: the opposite of normal fog. The team found that drivers underestimated their speed and got faster in response to 'anti-fog'. This showed that not only did it matter whether visibility was distance dependent, but also in what direction the dependence was in.
The researchers have shown that changes in visibility cause us to perceive speeds differently, and therefore to change the speed we drive at. But often in real life, people speed more in bad weather conditions. If this isn't because our visual system is telling us to, then perhaps people speed simply to get home quicker. Although this may seem like a good idea at the time, it's obviously not the safest way to get around. So next time you're driving on a really foggy night, remember to listen to your visual system and slow down.

Good age for establishing your atheism. I'm probably somewhere in that ballpark, myself. I have vague memories of kindergarten Sunday school, thinking that all these stories they were telling us weren't any more believable than the Brothers Grimm stories that I had been told. I came out of the closet to my parents when I was 14. The solidification of my lack of belief probably happened more towards the kindergarten end of things, but it's hard to remember that far back, in detail.
Which denomination did you break out of? I was raised Catholic ... was even an altar boy, from a pure desire to have something to do during mass. If I had known about the dodgy priests, at the time, I might have reconsidered.

Game 1 sets the tone for the World Series, which is why both managers are going with their best tonight. You always throw your ace first because holding him back for Game 2 is a tacit admission their ace is better. You also throw your ace first because that gives you a chance to use him three times, with the last time on three days rest.
For example, should Charlie Manuel have held Lee back in anticipation of Sabathia winning Game 1, and then have him get lit up in Game 2, then the Phillies would have been in a huge hole even with the Series heading back to Philadelphia.
"This matchup couldn't have been better," said Manuel. "This is a big, premier game. I'm looking forward to it."
This could be a special World Series featuring the two aces – a combined 5-0 this postseason by Lee and Sabathia – and two potent offenses.
"We're going to see a lot of runs," said Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte.
In Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez, the Phillies have four players with at least 30 homers. Meanwhile, the Yankees had seven players with at least 20.
There are so many players from either team who could find themselves on fate's doorstep as possible heroes. Derek Jeter, for example, owns this time of year. With the game on the line, I'd want him at the plate as much as anybody when all I need is a single or sacrifice fly.
Would anybody be surprised if this went seven?

David Lyle Burnett, 72
David Lyle Burnett, 72, of Spencerville, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013, at his daughter Amber (Patrick) Wise's residence in Tolleson, Ariz.. His death was the result of a rapid and progressive battle with cancer.
Born on Aug. 6, 1941, in Van Wert County, he was the son of Elmer "Butch" and Alice (Hirn) Burnett, both of whom preceded him in death. He also goes home with our Lord to be reunited with sisters, Shirley Ann Ruff and Lynda Carol Sudman.
David was a graduate of Memorial High School in St. Marys, class of 1959. He spent the majority of his career working for the Ford Motor Company. He retired in 2004 with more than 40 years of service at Ford.
He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed snow skiing and loved horses and thoroughbred horse racing. He also enjoyed going to the casino and always hoped to "hit the big one."
David was a loving father to Amber Wise, and sons Nicholas Paul Burnett of Georgia and Donald David Burnett of South Carolina. Both Nicholas and Donald resided in Spencerville and are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. David also loved and enjoyed the privilege to be a Grandfather to Michael Trout and Leonel Lopez. His children and grandchildren were a source of pride and happiness that always made him smile. He was truly proud to have them call him, "Dad" and "Grandpa."
In addition to his children and grandchildren, David leaves behind brothers Jack (Liz) Burnett of Brownsville, Calif., and Timothy (Mary) Burnett of Orange, Va. David was also blessed to have brothers-in-law Donald Ruff of Ridgecrest, Calif., and Lee Sudman of St. Marys, and also a son-in-law Patrick Wise of Detroit, Mich., who always called him "Pops." Mr. Burnett's countless nieces and nephews that fondly called him, "Uncle Dave," will remember his smile, baseball caps and trademark cowboy hat forever.
David was a father, a brother, a son, and a friend to many. He will be missed by all those who knew him.
A private family service was held in Tolleson, Ariz., at his daughter's residence.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society in honor of David Burnett.
