Annie, I'm one step closer to finding you.
And as I was listening to the priest conduct the ceremony, it wasn't very hard to let my genealogy and family history imagination take over. Who else had been married in this church? Is this hardwood floor original to the church? Where do they keep their records? Who was baptized here? And did the original Polish-German settlers and communicants of this church here in Chappell Hill have as hard of a time understanding their priest as I do this one? Probably not because they would have spoken Polish or German, and I do not. {Yes, the priest on Saturday spoke English, but it was with a very heavy German accent.} Of course, Catholic services in 1889 would probably have been spoken in Latin, right? So, perhaps past parishioners had been just as in the dark as I was on Saturday. {I'm Episcopalian, and our liturgical services are quite similar so I was able to follow fine, but I do like to listen and understand the Gospel and sermon. Most of the time. ;) }
Needless to say, my mind wandered on Saturday evening during the ceremony. I even thought about Daniel and Annie's {my 2nd great grandparent's} marriage in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1874. Yes, I'd ordered a copy of their marriage record from the Secretary of State, Archives Division in Louisiana thanks to Jennifer Sepulvado's suggestion for my Daughter's of the American Revolution (DAR) and United Empire Loyalist (UEL) applications, but knowing from family stories handed down orally in my family that Annie was a devout Irish Catholic, and knowing from my research that Daniel might have grown up as an Episcopalian {like myself}, I've often wandered what church they were married in. Who stood up for them? What were they wearing? Who married them? What kind of flowers did Annie hold, if any?
You know, the usual stuff that goes on in a genealogist's or family historian's mind during a wedding in a very old church.
However, if I'd been at home on Saturday I would have checked my mail, and I could have had some answers to my questions about Daniel and Annie's wedding. And more clues. But then on this cold and drizzly day, it sure was nice to find their marriage record in the mailbox.
That's right. My marriage record copy order was completed in a very timely fashion. A huge thank you goes out to the Archives Division, Secretary of State of Louisiana because I now have in my possession a copy of Daniel and Annie's marriage record from 1874.
Now, I've ordered other marriage records before for other branches in my tree {and for other people}, and sometimes you get less information or clues than you were expecting and sometimes you get more. I prefer to just not think about it and expect less so that when I open up the envelope, and find out more than what I expected, then I'm pleasantly surprised. {Read: Jumping up and down with joy.}
And this is definitely one of those occasions.
According to their marriage a copy of their returned marriage license filed in Book No. 5, Folio 255, Mr. D.R. Vaughn and Miss Annie O'Brien were married by Rev. Gleason on 19 Mar 1874. The returned marriage license clearly states that D.R. Vaughn was 27 years old and a native of New Orleans, and his parents {That's right HIS PARENTS.} were B.J. Vaughn and Susanna Vaughn.
It also clearly states that Annie O'Brien was a native of Ireland and that she was the daughter of James O'Brien and Jane O'Brien. Their witnesses were a W.L. Leibrock and a Katie L. Lennon.
The marriage license was issued on 17 Mar 1874 by the Hon. John Daley and received back and filed in Book 5, Folio 255 on 23 Mar 1874.
Now, just because this is a photocopy of the of it does not mean the information is 100% correct. It's not. First, This is a photocopy of the returned marriage license filed in Book 5, Folio 255, and because of its photocopied state, it's considered a derivative of the original. However, in my opinion, it's a very good photocopy and it's clear to read and understand.
The other thing to consider is that the information on the returned marriage license was filled out probably by Rev. Gleason. It was probably signed by him, Daniel, and Annie. They were a part of the ceremony. The witnesses would have signed as well and, duh, they were witnesses. So the information on here concerning Daniel and Annie's marriage is as accurate as I can get without seeing the original returned marriage license with my own eyes and without attending their wedding ceremony {which would have been impossible}. The information concerning their marriage is primary. It also is direct information to my research question for my DAR and UEL applications. When {date} and where {city, county, state} were Daniel and Annie married? They were married 19 Mar 1874 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. And it corroborates other information and documents I have found concerning their marriage.
However, the information concerning Daniel's age and parents would have come from Daniel and not very close in time to the actual event. Yes, Daniel was there when he was born, but I was there when I was born, and I cannot attest to, well, anything on that day. {And you can't either concerning your own birth.} But according to what I've known all my life and my birth certificate, my age that I know it to be is correct. {Unfortunately.} So while I don't have his birth information nor his baptismal information {Microfilm is on order.}, I do have census information, his death certificate, and military information and the age recorded on his marriage record is in line with what I've found on those documents. And the same goes for his parent's names. {And I'm not even upset that his mother's maiden name isn't given. I already have it. It would've been nice for corroboration, though.}
Now, the same kind of thinking goes for Annie's given information. Interestingly, her age isn't listed. Annie would have been *counts on fingers* about 20 years old. I say, about because according to her death certificate, she was born 21 Jul 1853 so IF that's correct, when she married, she hadn't turned 21 yet. {If my math is correct. I hate math.} And, apparently, she told the priest who married them, Rev. Gleason, that she was a native of Ireland, and this corroborates everything I've learned about Annie via family lore as well as census records, her death certificate, her children's baptismal records, and her children's death certificates.
What's really awesome about this marriage record is the listing of Annie's parents. I assume Annie volunteered the information to Rev. Gleason. {Who else would have? Okay, maybe Daniel, but I've NO evidence that he knew them at all. Ever. Which means I know nothing.} So. This photocopy of the marriage record corroborates the information given on her death certificate by her youngest son, Daniel Warren Vaughan, that her father was, indeed, a James O'Brien. All still very secondhand, but I love clues that don't contradict each other, especially since trying to find an Annie J. O'Brien whose father might be a James O'Brien in Catholic Irish records in maybe Dublin Ireland seems so very daunting. {Amen?}
And? This marriage record reveals Annie's mother's name...
{Wait for it...}
Jane O'Brien. Which is totally new news for me. Now, I'm going to suggest that just as Daniel's mother's surname listed on the marriage record was not her maiden name, that probably Jane's maiden name is not O'Brien. But? Hello? I have her first name {if it's correct}! Unfortunately, it's a very common name, but I'm SO not gonna complain. {It could've been Mary. My tin cup is always half full and according to family lore so was Annie's.}
Now, remember, from Genevieve's {Daniel's and Annie's daughter's} baptismal record we learned that one of Genevieve's real names {As opposed to the one she went by her almost entire life because why make it easy on me?} was Jane. And from the census records and elsewhere, I've learned that Annie's middle initial is a "J." So the hint of Annie's naming patterns surfaces once again.
It also surfaces on the marriage record in another place - in the revealing of the the witnesses names. As I mentioned above, the second witness was a Katie L. Lennon. And we know from Genevieve's baptismal record and census records that Genevieve's middle name was Lennon.
This clue leads me to 2 additional research paths. I need to research both of these witnesses to discern their relationship to the happy couple. Who were they to Daniel and Annie? Also, it means if there is no relationship between Katie and Annie I probably don't need to keep the name 'Lennon' in mind when I eventually look for Annie's origins in Ireland.
The last clue that it gives me is that they were married by a Rev. Gleason. This indicates they were married in a church...a church that has records. {Oh yeah.} So now I need to track down a Rev. Gleason in probably a Catholic church in 1874. I think that's do-able. At least trying to find him is do-able. Certainly, I don't need it for my DAR and UEL applications, but who knows what kind of info it contains? Does it corroborate or contradict this marriage record or anything else I've found or know? And wouldn't it be nice the next time I go back to New Orleans to be able to visit and photograph the church where they were married if it's still there? So, I'll definitely hunt down {or at least try to} Rev. Gleason and the church Daniel and Annie were married in.
As far as my DAR and UEL applications are concerned, this marriage record is just what I needed for acceptable evidence of their marriage event for both applications. And since it's Daniel's maternal and paternal lines that hold the Patriot and Loyalist, respectively, needed for my applications, it would seem it's all good in this respect.
But it's also given me many clues for further research on Annie's origins and the rest of her line and hers and Daniel's wedding day.
I'm a step closer to the completion of my DAR and UEL applications.
And, Annie, I'm one step closer to finding you. {Um. Not physically, just your origins. And whatever stories I can find about you and anyone remotely related to you. And me.}
Orleans Parish, Louisiana, [Still obtaining the title of the register from the Archives Division because it wasn't listed in the photocopy.], Book 5: Folio 255, D.R. Vaughn - Annie O'Brien; State of Louisiana, Secretary of State, Archives Division, Baton Rouge.

My dear Pointer Sista,ReplyDelete
Do not be daunted by looking for an O'Brien in Catholic church records. It can be done. Before jumping the pond, I highly recommend getting a copy of the church marriage record as opposed to the civil record. You might even find that the church record has more details on the parents and/or birthplaces of the parties. It depends. Sometimes they have nothing, sometimes a lot. It's worth a shot. Here is a link to the archives for the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Hmm, once you do more research I will hit you up to contribute an article to The Catholic Gene, ok??
Thanks, Donna. I'm already a step ahead of you. I already looked at their website, and I even blogged about it already. It's scheduled to post at 12AM tomorrow.Delete
And, sure. I'd love to contribute an article to the Catholic Gene. =)
Thanks for stopping by and reading!
Yay! I'm so glad you have the marriage record AND it contained new information! I'm so glad I mentioned the state archives to you. It's always fun to help someone else.ReplyDelete
Fascinating to read, and it's fun to try following everything you are asking and guessing. Are you hinting that Annie's mother Jane's maiden name may possibly be Lennon? Always good to have a first and last name. I'll bet the DAR has never had a more thorough researcher than you are in finding both their Patriot and Loyalist lines, not to mention documenting everything to a fare-thee-well with the absolutely best available sources. The DAR will probably ask you to give a guest lecture on how you traced your lineage!ReplyDeleteReplies
Mariann, I'm not suggesting anything. If I were to guess {and it would definitely be an off-the-wall guess}, I'd say she is not related to this Lennon person. The only thing I'm suggesting is that Annie's daughter's middle name probably came from this Lennon person and that this Lennon witness to their marriage is another avenue of research to discern a possible relationship between her and Annie.Delete
I mentioned naming patterns because in past posts, I've identified where Annie has used names from Daniel's family as well as from names from her children's baptismal witnesses to name her children. Certainly, not unusual, and would possibly suggest that these are family members, but family lore suggests Annie came by herself from Ireland to New Orleans. And I've not found her on a passenger list. So I'm not sure she had family here or not. I must research all of the witnesses on all of her children's baptismal records as well as the witnesses to their marriage to hopefully discern some type of relationship to Daniel and Annie. How did they know each other? Random witnesses, family members, or somewhere in between?
Also, I doubt very seriously my app will be the best researched one. There are many very fine and much better researchers than I who have applied to DAR or have been hired by clients to do the research for DAR application. However, I really appreciate your compliment. =)

Several players wrote with concerns and questions, most of them having to do with this choice (scored as correct):
"I set the 'VALUES OF'-answer to wrong because this clause needs and only works with indexes of type PLS_INTEGER. The documentation says: "The index collection must be a nested table, or an associative array indexed by PLS_INTEGER or BINARY_INTEGER, whose elements are also PLS_INTEGER or BINARY_INTEGER." You said nothing about type of the index of the associative array, so I thought there are some cases where this solution does not work "
My thoughts: I suppose this is yet another example of the difficulties one may encounter with an "all words" quiz (as oppose to one based on specific code). The objective of the quiz was to make sure developers are aware of INDICES OF and VALUES OF as FORALL clauses that allow you to reference a sparse bind array in the FORALL's DML statement.
The question does not specify any restrictions on how the procedure will implement the use of FORALL. It does not say that no other code can be written, no other collections can be defined and used. So from that standpoint, almost any choice (except something on the order of "You will not be able to use FORALL in this scenario.") would need to be scored as correct. Which we did.
So I do not see why the VALUES OF choice would need to be scored as incorrect.
Other comments and my responses:
My response: yes "that table" was a typo. I will fix it, but I don't think it justifies a rescore. Element and index values: these two terms are used by Oracle in its documentation. An element is never used to refer to the index value, that I know of.
My response: another very excellent point regarding the potential drawbacks of an "only words" quiz! Yes, I did not think about multiple column primary keys. That would certainly affect and complicate the implementation of the procedure (assuming it was a collection of records, you would have to write very different code in pre-Oracle11g versions, since you cannot reference a field of a collection-based record inside a FORALL until then), but my same point applies from above: I do not specify any restrictions on how the procedure is implemented, except that it use FORALL. So the correctness of choices would still not change.
Well, that's my view on the 28 September quiz. How about you?

The Bontragers AW2 Hard Case lites give a smooth ride and also roll very well. Even roll good at lower then max pressure. I have bought other tires before, now though I will buy only Bontragers.
Used all winter season and no flat tire, very good product

I ride about 30-40 miles three to four times per week. I purchased these tires about 11 months ago, and I now have 2600 miles on them. I previously owned Gatorskins, but didn't like the look of them on my bike due to the red sidewall stitching, etc., but wanted something just as durable. After researching and talking with the wonderful folks down at Scheller's in Lexington, I decided to give the AW2s a try. I have not had any problems or flats with these tires in the 2600 miles that I have put on them. They roll smooth, fast, and they are durable. Great all conditions tire for those who just love to ride the back roads and put miles in every week throughout the year. There is a stretch of highway I must ride to get out and back on every ride. The shoulder is full of road debris, and I have experienced flats in the past with other tires. However, these tires have taken the road debris without any problems. Now it is time to rotate them and see how many miles I can get out of them. The AW2 is a great tire, and I highly recommend it.

Paint the Sky Blue
by Claudia Vanderborght
Thus if one is to be five times as distant, make it five times bluer.—Leonardo
Do you remember asking your parents, "Why is the sky blue?" As a painter, Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated by colors. In his notebooks, he described and tried to scientifically explain the subtle colors of leaves on trees, the blueness of the sky, and the spectrum of the rainbow. One particular observation he found intriguing was the "bluing" of distant mountains—the farther away the mountains were, the bluer they appeared.
Leonardo wrote that the atmosphere is blue because of the darkness above it: The black above, mixed with white light, made a blue sky. There is a lot of blue sky between an observer and a distant mountain, he explained. The blue atmosphere tints mountains bluish exactly like red glass tints reddish any objects seen through that glass. Thus, Leonardo described, the farther away an object is, the bluer it should be painted: One that is five times distant should be five times bluer.
Leonardo's observations were accurate, although his hypothesis was not entirely correct. Today we know that the sky is blue, clouds are white, sunsets are red, and distant mountains appear bluish because of light scattering. The earth's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen molecules, which are very small. When light strikes those tiny molecules, they vibrate. Fast frequencies, such as 75 million vibrations per second, generate violet light. Slow frequencies, such as 43 million vibrations per second, generate red light. The tiniest atmospheric molecules can vibrate very rapidly—scattering the violet and blue frequencies of light far more than green or red, and so the sky appears blue. Bigger molecules vibrate more slowly, scattering slower frequencies of light. Water droplets in clouds vary in size, so each water droplet scatters a different frequency of light. Mixing all the frequencies of light together generates "white" light, and thus clouds appear white.
During a sunset, the sky changes color from blue to yellow to orange to red. As the light travels through more and more atmosphere, it encounters more and more particles. Blue frequencies are scattered over and over again; all that is left for your eyes to observe is the slower frequencies. The lower the sun in the sky, the more blue light is scattered away, so your eye sees the leftovers.
Leonardo was right about the blue mountains! We see objects because they reflect light. Very little light from the distant mountains actually reaches your eye. But there is a lot of atmosphere between you and those mountains, and that atmosphere scatters blue frequencies. So, just as red glass tints objects red, atmospheric scattering tints distant mountains blue!
Go outside and look at the sky. Is it blue? Is the color above the same as the color at the horizon? Can you see distant mountains or hills? Are they shades of blue?
- Why are clouds white?
[anno: Clouds are white because they contain droplets of water of different sizes. Since objects of different sizes reflect different frequencies of light, and a single cloud contains enough drops of water to represent most of these frequencies, the frequencies mix together to make the clouds appear white.]
- Imagine you were standing on the Moon and looking out across the Moon's surface. You look down at your feet and see gray dust covering Moon's surface. Now you look out at the side of a crater that is about 20 miles away. Do you think the crater would appear blue or white? Why? Write a few sentences to explain your answer.
[anno: Answers may vary but could include that since the Moon does not have an atmosphere trapping certain elements, there is nothing in the air to reflect the light, so the crater would appear gray and not blue.]

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - The crowd is happy, the music is swirling, and two men jump up, Guinnesses in hand, for a quick jig. It could be any Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day, except that the musicians are Chinese and the pub is in Beijing.
"Dublingers" is a unique band, bringing together four Chinese who taught themselves Irish music and a French jazz player living in Beijing. Their name shows they have one foot in the Chinese capital and the other on the Emerald Isle.
The stories that led the band to perform Irish music are as unusual as their line-up.
"Years ago, I saw the movie Titanic, and I was really taken by the scene when they were all dancing below deck," said Cheng Yafei, a burly coal mining machine salesman by day and blues guitarist by night.
"I thought, Hey! this music sounds great. Where does it come from?"
Cheng, who had migrated to the blues after discovering the guitar and the Beatles in college, then taught himself to play Irish music.
He was invited to join the infant Dublingers by percussionist Li Hong, who learned Irish music while playing in a rock-and-roll band at an Irish pub in Beijing. He picked up the bodhran, or Irish drum, at a music fair in Shanghai.
Violinist Zhang Yang rounds out the band, which plays about three times a month in Beijing and had a busy round of gigs this week.
"I think that audiences are surprised to see the Chinese playing. I'm just a foreigner, Irish or French or Russian or whatever, no one can really tell what I am," said Nico Torrese, the French jazz musician who joined the group last year.
"Because the music is simple and spontaneous, it works... It's energy and emotion together."
Accordionist Wang Yi, or Zoe, took up the instrument when she was four, in her hometown in Henan Province. By age 10, she "couldn't put it down."
"In the Cultural Revolution, it was very popular and a lot of people my parents' age can play. With an accordion, one person could play and lead group sing-alongs," said Wang, who sneaks a smoke between sets.
"But because all the accordion music is from that era, young people generally dislike it. I want to play more French music and Irish music so that people can grow to like the accordion again."

Deciding what type of filtration your new or existing pond needs depends on the level of water quality you wish to achieve. Do you want clear water for your fountain display?
Or do you need to sustain the life of plants and koi for many years? At the very least, most pond keepers want clear, algae-free water. Koi enthusiasts demand more pristine water conditions with no ammonia or phosphate, and plenty of nitrifying bacteria to break down dangerous waste products into beneficial fertilizers.
Here's a quick overview of the most common filtration types available, and how they help improve the quality of the water in your pond:
Biological Filtration
Biological filters use nature's nitrogen cycle to detoxify organic waste products. A colony of ammonia-eating bacteria grows in the filter's biomedia (lava rock, plastic pin balls, foam, and so on) and breaks down decaying waste into less dangerous nutrients. Keeping your pond free from ammonia is essential for koi health, and bio-filters also help eliminate the waste products which lead to excessive algae growth.
Mechanical Filtration
Mechanical filters either strain or skim debris like leaves, stirred up muck, and free-floating algae out of your pond. This helps to prevent clogs in other pond equipment as well as reduce the amount of decaying materials from settling on the bottom. They do this by straining water through media of varying densities/thicknesses (typically sponges or pads). A specialized mechanical filter called a "
skimmer" is designed to grab leaves off the surface of the water, whereas other mechanical filters generally strain out suspended particulates.
Chemical Filtration
Chemical filtration helps "clean" your pond by removing organic and inorganic pollutants with specialized media like carbons and resins. If your pond water has high levels of ammonia from too many fish, a brown tinge from dissolved organic compounds, or a greenish hue from free-floating algae, adding the right chemical media to your filter or waterfall can help resolve the problem.
Combination Filters
Many filters combine multiple types of filtration for efficiency. For example, a multi-filter may include sponge media and an empty chamber. The sponge media provides both mechanical and biological filtration, as beneficial nitrifying bacteria grows on the sponge used to strain out debris. The empty chamber is available for you to add "tea bags" of chemical media to target specific problems with your water conditions.
For optimal long-term results, invest in the filtration system that best fits your budget, your comfort level, and your unique pond setup.
External or submersible filtration - which is right for me?
Not sure whether to implement a submersible (internal) or external pond filter? Consider the following…
Submersible filters are:
installed directly in the pond
intended for smaller ponds (typically less than 2,000 gallons)
easier to plumb
more difficult to access for maintenance
easier to disguise
External filters are:
installed outside of the pond
intended for larger ponds (up to 21,000 gallons)
more difficult to plumb
easier to access for maintenance
harder to disguise (large models often require housing to protect from the elements)

TVplus is a new service that delivers the BEST web content (social and informational) based on what you are watching on TV, whenever you are watching it (Live or Recorded/DVR)
TVplus is fun, easy to use and works on mobile devices (iphone, android, etc.) as well as on laptops. It uses your device's internal microphone to recognize what you are watching on TV and automatically deliver a 'companion' experience.
We put the PLUS in TV -
- Connect with friends
- Find new friends based on the shows you watch
- Discover new TV shows to watch
- Get actor, trivia and other information based on what's on screen at that moment
- Follow comments from interesting people.
And remember, ALL of this information is delivered to users when it matters the most in the TV show because we know where you are in the program. Even if you are watching on DVR or for TV shows that have never aired on TV before.
This is the next generation of television - bringing the BEST of the WEB to what you are watching on TV.
This is a mainstream consumer internet service. The logo should have broad appeal to a mass audience and contain a strong enough logo mark that it can be recognized without the need for text (i.e., TVplus). Think Facebook 'F' or Twitter 'T'.
The logo should be fun and accessible. The friendliness of Twitter, the fun of Yahoo! and the elegance of Apple.
First and foremost, be CREATIVE!
1. The logo should contain a well-defined mark plus the text 'TVplus'
2. There should be an optional usage with the tagline 'Watch TV Better'
3. The mark should be strong enough to stand alone without the text, TVplus
4. This mark WILL be used on Television as a 'bug' (or 'dog' in some countries). That means think about it's usage as a monotone overlay on a TV screen similar to the way a TV network shows its logo in the corner during a show.
5. We are open to color exploration so please provide choices. However, our primary palette is currently in the blue family. This is NOT a requirement.
6. We've attached an image to give you a sense for the product experience. This is simply a visual reference and NOT to be followed literally as you design a logo.
7. This will also be used as an app icon on the iphone and ipad so this should be considered.

In the United States, the term civil law has two meanings. The first meaning refers to a legal system prevalent in Europe that is based on written codes. Civil law in this sense is contrasted with the common-law system used in England and most of the United States, which relies on prior case law to resolve disputes rather than written codes.The second meaning of "civil law" means the laws related to disputes between individuals or businesses as opposed to public offenses which relate to the government and penal codes - that is, civil law as opposed to Criminal Law.

In the Matter of
15(b) AND 21C OF THE SECURITIES
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), against David Stetson ("Stetson" or "Respondent").
In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement (the "Offer") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission, or to which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of these proceedings, Respondent consent to the entry of this Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as set forth below.
On the basis of this Order and Respondent's Offer, the Commission finds1 that:
1. Stetson is 43 years of age and resides in Oyster Bay, New York. In or around May 1999, Stetson and others entered into an agreement with Donald & Co. Securities, Inc. ("Donald & Co.") to open a Garden City branch office of Donald & Co. ("Garden City Office"). Stetson and others later established an office of supervisory jurisdiction ("OSJ") with Donald & Co. in Garden City, New York. Stetson and others ran the Donald & Co. OSJ as a partnership, and actively participated in the management of the office, including all personnel and business decisions. Stetson holds Series 7, 63 and, 55 licenses.
2. Donald & Co. was registered with the Commission as a broker-dealer from May 25, 1977 until September 10, 2002 when Donald & Co. filed a Form BD-W. Donald & Co. was a member of the NASD. The firm's main office was located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, and the firm maintained 10 branch offices. On July 24, 2002, Donald & Co. filed notice, pursuant to Rule 17a-11 of the Exchange Act that it was in a position of a net capital deficiency and closed its branch offices, including its Garden City Office.
3. Respondent and others at Donald & Co. acquired large positions in The Classica Group, Inc. ("Classica") and eLEC Communications Corporation ("eLEC") at low prices. Respondent and others then instructed registered representatives working at Donald & Co.'s Garden City Office to solicit their clients to purchase Classica and eLEC at inflated prices. To persuade the brokers to push Classica and eLEC on their clients, Respondent and others, among other things, paid registered representatives undisclosed commissions.
4. Respondent also instructed registered representatives to make baseless predictions about the price of Classica and eLEC stock and other misleading statements about Classica and eLEC. Respondent and others also instructed brokers to tell customers falsely that favorable announcements about Classica and eLEC would be coming out shortly. While Respondent was telling brokers to get their customers to purchase Classica and eLEC at inflated prices, Respondent and others were selling it out of their own holdings at a profit.
5. Respondent, at times, refused to allow the brokers he controlled to execute customer orders to sell Classica and eLEC unless the sale could be made to another Garden City Office customer. According to Garden City Office policy, if a client insisted that Classica or eLEC be sold, the broker was responsible for the shares until a buyer was found for those same shares.
6. Through his conduct, Respondent participated in the offering of the common stocks of Classica and eLEC, both "penny stocks" as that term is used in Section 15(b)(6) and as defined by Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act and Rule 3a51-1 thereunder.
7. As a result of the conduct described above, Respondent willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, which prohibit fraudulent conduct in the offer or sale of securities and in connection with the purchase or sale of securities.
The Respondent's Offer does not include an agreement to pay disgorgement or penalties. The issue of disgorgement and penalties will be resolved at a later date. As a part of his Offer in this matter, Respondent agree that if Respondent fails to submit an offer of settlement with respect to disgorgement and penalties that are acceptable to the Commission, then the Commission may reopen this proceeding against the Respondent for the purpose of resolving the issue of disgorgement and penalties. If the Commission reopens this proceeding, Respondent agrees that he will not contest the findings of fact or law in this Order as a basis for any Commission determination to order disgorgement or penalties that may be appropriate and in the public interest.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to impose the sanctions specified in Respondent's Offer.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
A. Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act and Section 21C of the Exchange Act, that Respondent Stetson cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
B. Pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, that Respondent Stetson be, and hereby is, barred from association with any broker or dealer.
C. That Respondent Stetson be, and hereby is, barred from participating in any offering of a penny stock, including: acting as a promoter, finder, consultant, agent or other person who engages in activities with a broker, dealer or issuer for purposes of the issuance or trading in any penny stock, or inducing or attempting to induce the purchase or sale of any penny stock.
D. Any reapplication for association by the Respondent will be subject to the applicable laws and regulations governing the reentry process, and reentry may be conditioned upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the satisfaction of any or all of the following: (a) any disgorgement ordered against the Respondent, whether or not the Commission has fully or partially waived payment of such disgorgement; (b) any arbitration award related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; (c) any self-regulatory organization arbitration award to a customer, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order; and (d) any restitution order by a self-regulatory organization, whether or not related to the conduct that served as the basis for the Commission order.
By the Commission.

What is your hair?
Jared Leto showed up at a Calvin Klein event last night trying to resurrect his acting career with his hair… I guess. For someone like Robert Pattinson and the hair hysteria that exploded ovaries in tandem with his meteoric rise, it worked in that case because it seemed genuine. He just has messy hair. He twitchily can't stop touching it, an attribute that is almost accidentally endearing.
Jared Leto is no accident. From the gel and the eyeliner to the scarf and the shiny blazer, this is a vain twat scrambling to find salvation from the ruins of an Ebola infestation. And failing miserably. Because it's totally contrived. And completely incongruous to his other identity, that of badass fringe punk rocker with a f-ck you attitude toward conformity, convention, and the mainstream. Bitch, you're making love to your own hair. Do you know who you are?

I'm usually not in the habit of posting game trailers, but this one is definitely an exception. Over the past few years the quality of trailers in general has significantly increased in my opinion, and there's rarely a game with a trailer not worth watching, whether you're interested in the title or not. But this new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer definitely makes for one great watch.
It features Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill and Dwight Howard, and shows you the difference between noobs and experienced players in a unique way. If you're a noob and need some guidance check this post for some links to good resources.

Whenever I look through a new cook book, I tab the pages containing recipes that I wish to make. I recently bought a copy of Aaron Maree's "Cakes, Tortes and Gateaux of the World" and tabbed virtually every page! It's a stunning book and I cannot fathom why it's out of print. Luckily Amazon seems to have nice condition second hand copies for sale.
The CCM (Caked Crusader's Ma) also had a browse through the book and, in her subtle way, suggested that I may wish to make the buttercake recipe. Definition of subtle in this context: repeatedly saying how lovely the cake looked, how it's just the sort of cake she loves to eat, wouldn't it be nice to have this cake, hadn't it photographed well etc
This cake is lovely with such a rich, buttery taste. I added some vanilla to the mix because I'm a vanillaholic, but I think it would be equally delicious without it.
The large amount of milk in the mix means that the texture is close and firm – like Madeira cake but more refined. Imagine a Madeira cake that had been to Finishing School and you'll get the idea!
180g unsalted butter, at room temperature
200g caster sugar
3 eggs
280g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
250ml milk (whole or semi skimmed)
Vanilla extract, to taste
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease or line a 20cm round springform tin.
- Beat the butter and sugar together until they are smooth, fluffy and pale. This will take several minutes even with soft butter. Don't skimp on this stage.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly. If the mix curdles add a little of the flour, but I found I didn't need to.
- Mix together the flour and baking powder and beat into the butter a little at a time, alternating with the milk.
- Add the vanilla.
- Pour (it will be runny) the batter into the cake tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 1-1 ½ hours until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out cleanly. Mine took 1 hour 10 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
- When cold, dust with sifted icing sugar.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

UPDATE: I just listened to this video recipe again, and am proposing a new drinking game where every time I say "beautiful," you have to do a shot. ;-)
View the complete recipe
Hi Chef John,
That's a little to close. It made me dizzy.
It looks great, yes, but it's a little to close, I think.
I count four beautifuls. Yes that could be interesting over 4 minutes and 46 seconds. I bought a mango yesterday in anticipation of this recipe and with skewers of tri tip marinated in your beef satay marinade ready to go on the grill I think i will take you at your word and do the mango rather than the peanut sauce. It would be a lot fewer calories.
Looks tasty!
I love mangoes. Will have to try this one soon.
Okay, Chef John. QED. Picture of another use of that mango sauce coming your way. Short story...delicious with your beef satay.
deer chf john.
we got ninnnnne shots of beu;tiful but didnn't count the beuatfilly in the beiginnngn. mayeb 9 is tooo manyy...
but seriously, this needs to happen next time I make fish tacos...
This awesome at treat of sweet and chilli at the same time..nice dish very simple yet packs a bang..
Looks really fresh and tasty! Though i looked up the Mahi Mahi on google.. Doesn't look as tasty when it's alive =) Haha! Would love to try that fish but unfortunately I live in Sweden and I think it's hard to get your hands on here.
It's going to be hard watching an episode of good eats without the phrase " food wonk " rattling around in my brain. As for the spicy thai chili mango sauce, it looked beautiful...
Thank you ! THANK YOU Chef John,
I've moved to small province of the Philippines for a couple of years and it's hard to find all the ingredients to your recipes (yeah! Like you're going find sottocenere in this part of the world!)
I can't complain though. This is the best culinary spot in the entire Philippines (if you're not picky about hygiene). But it's not to be able to try a Chef John recipe again. Mahi Mahi is so not available here, but I have another million other option, so not a problem. I'll probably do a grilled or fried tilapia version.
Oh by the way, I hope I don't come across as pedantic, but as the French expression isn't elbow butter, but elbow oil (huile de coude).
thanks, but elbow butter was a joke! ;)
Man I'm getting good. I saw your preview below, and got so tempted by it that I just went ahead and made my own mango salsa (I paired it with some delicious salmon). The only difference between yours and mine, is that I made a simple syrup with the rice vinegar because I thought it might be too acidic and steal away from the mango. Oh and I didn't think of the lime. :) None the less, very close!
When you said name anything I thought of sausage. So that's what I'm going to do! Spicy sausage in a lightly toasted hot dog bun, topped with spicy mango sauce! I salivate at the thought of the result...
I made this last night - DELICIOUS! Wow, those Thai chili peppers ARE hot!
I was pleasantly surprised to find Barramundi at the grocery store yesterday - the first time I've seen it here in the US after enjoying it many times in Australia many times when I traveled there. Since it's so thin (and it was raining again) I decided to pan sear it with a little salt and cayenne rather than grill it. DELICIOUS combo!
Haha congratulations John you've made people use cayenne ;)
Looks amazing Chef John. We have mangos in my neighborhood - I will try this recipe in the coming months.
I tried it this evening on some Grilled Mahi Mahi. I added an extra Thai Chili to suit my spicy food needs as well as a little less rice vinegar to keep it from becoming runny. it ended up having a really smooth burn. Perfect dish to kick off grilling season!
I love Mahi-Mahi and I love mango salsa, so I am definitely going to try this. Thanks. Loved your explanation of why you don't use the food processor!
Hi chef,
I tried this recipe and you make it lookso easy. Somehow, after making it, the mango taste was lost. Is that how it's supposed to be?

The Open Access (OA) movement is gaining some high-level political traction.
The White House Open Access memorandum enacts a national Green OA mandate: Most US funding agencies are directed to set up OA repositories for the research they fund. This Green OA strategy contrasts with the Gold OA strategy proposed by the Finch report in the UK. The latter all but guarantees that established publishers will retain their revenue stream if they switch their business model from site licenses to Author Page Charges (APCs).
The White House memorandum is likely to have the greatest impact. As its consequences ripple through the system, the number and size of Green OA repositories is likely to grow substantially over the next few years. Large-scale validation of altmetrics and the development of new business models may lead to the emergence of new forms of scholarly communication. Green OA archivangelist Stevan Harnad hypothesizes a ten-step scenario of changes.
There are also reasons for concern. As this new phase of the OA movement unfolds on the national political stage, all sides will use their influence and try to re-shape the initial policies to further their respective agendas. The outcome of this political game is far from certain. Worse, the outcome may not be settled for years, as these kind of policies are easily reversed without significant voter backlash.
At its core, OA is about an industry changing because of (not-so-)new technology and its accompanying shift in attitudes and values. In such cases, we expect established players to resist innovation by (ab)using politics and litigation. The entertainment industry lobbied and litigated against VCRs, DVRs, every Internet service ever launched, and now even antennas. In the dysfunctional scholarly-communication market, on the other hand, it is the innovators who resort to politics.
To understand why, suppose university libraries were funded by user-paid memberships and/or service fees. In this scenario, libraries and publishers encountered the same paper-to-digital transition costs. When library prices sky rocketed, students and faculty created underground exchanges of scholarly information. They cancelled their library memberships and/or stopped using their services. The publishers' revenue streams collapsed. Only the most successful journals survived, and even they suffered. Publishing a paper became increasingly difficult because of a lack of journals. This created an opening for experiments in scholarly publishing. This bottoms-up free-market transition would have been chaotic, painful, and forgotten by now.
We do not need to convert our libraries and research institutions into free-market enterprises. We do not need to abandon the fundamental principles on which these institutions are built. On the contrary, we must return to those principles and apply them in a new technological reality. Rebuilding the foundations of institutions is hard under the best of circumstances. When users are shielded from the external incentives/hardships of the free market, it is near impossible to disrupt, and continuity remains an option far beyond reason.
Green OA is an indirect approach to achieve fundamental change. It asks scholars to accept a little inconvenience for the sake of the larger principle. It asks them to deposit their papers into OA repositories and provide free access to publicly-funded research. It is hoped that this will gradually change the journal ecosystem and build pressure to innovate. It took dedicated developers, activists, advocates, and academic leaders over twenty years to promote this modest goal and create a movement that, finally, seems to have achieved critical mass. A growing number of universities have enacted OA mandates. These pioneers led the way, but only a government mandate can achieve the scale required to change the market. Enter politics.
Scholars, the creators and consumers of this market, should be able to dictate their terms. Yet, they are beholden to the establishment journals (and their publishers), which are the fountain of academic prestige. The SCOAP3 initiative for High Energy Physics journals shows how scholars are willing to go to unprecedented lengths to protect their journals.
Market-dominating scholarly publishers are paralyzed. They cannot abandon their only source of significant revenue (site licenses) on a hunch that another business model may work out better in the long term. In the mean time, they promote an impossible-to-defend hybrid Gold OA scheme, and they miss an opportunity to create value from author/reader networks (an opportunity recognized by upstart innovators). This business paralysis translates into a lobbying effort to protect the status quo for as long as feasible.
Academic libraries, which enthusiastically supported and developed Green OA, now enter this political arena in a weak position. The White House memorandum all but ignores them. Before complacency sets in, there is precious little time to argue a compelling case for independent institutional or individual repositories preserved in a long-term archive. After all, government-run repositories may disappear at any time for a variety of reasons.
The Gold OA approach of the Finch report is conceptually simpler. Neither scholars nor publishers are inconvenienced, let alone disrupted. It underwrites the survival of favored journals as Gold OA entities. It preempts real innovation. Without a mechanism in place to limit APCs, it's good to be a scholarly publisher in the UK. For now.

I agree with DJLowrider's opinion that a song don't need to be 10 years old or more to be considered memorable, if not the "greatest of all time". A memorable song or should I say one that can be considered as one of the greatest of all time can be called as such even though it's been out very recently. It would be what some would like to call "instant classics". They receive near unanimous praise from music critics and the listening public. The consensus is that they most probably would stand the test of time. An example would be Coldplay's Viva La Vida and M.I.A.'s Paper Planes, two songs from last year that will have a long shelf life based on recurrent airplay and radio playlists.Another example, OutKast's Hey Ya!, Eminem's Lose Yourself and Stan made it in the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time despite being less than 10 years old. Also, the number of anime songs produced during the early 90's and downwards are not that many compared to the music after that. In my honest opinion it is during the new millennium that some of the most memorable OPs and EDs were introduced.

I mean, it would not be the first time for songs that were critically acclaimed in their time to be utterly forgotten later, and pieces who were promptly dismissed as run of the mill to receive universal appraisal in the forecoming generations. The first example would be Bach's Brandenburg's concerto's, which were writen for a contest as the director of a orchestra in Brandenburg. Bach works didn't made an impression in his time, he didn't even rank in that contest. However the Brandenburg concerto's are now one of the most widely performed works for violin enssembles. And no one remembers the people who won in that contest whatsoever.

If I had to point to a single anime that really began pushing the music used for series to the forefront, it would be the Bubblegum Crisis OVAs of the late 1980's. Before that series came about, much of the OP and ED music you find in anime has more in common with traditional Japanese music (a.k.a. enka) than with anything that was actually popular at the time. Not to mention it's largely boring to listen to on its own. BGC's music really opened the door in more ways than one.
Really, though, if you look back on anime music as a whole, things didn't start getting better (nevermind memorable) until the mid-1990's. Many of the series we hold now as classics from that decade are the ones that provided us with the most memorable OPs, EDs and insert songs that we today might consider among the "greatest of all time". Consequently, this is why originally I said I understood why people might want to put an age minimum on songs that get nominated as being the greatest. These are series and songs that got many people into anime in the first place, after all. It's natural there would be some amount of leaning towards them.
However, take a moment and consider how far that would restrict things here. If we're saying a song needs to be at least 10 years old, then we're talking about anime that aired no more recently than 1999. Taking as a given, as I said earlier, that anime music prior to the early 90's was largely forgettable, you're talking about restricting our music selection for the greatest anime songs of all time to not much more than a single decade's worth of series to select from. That's not only unfair to the many memorable songs and series of this decade, it's far too narrow-minded.
Age has little, if anything, to do with the quality of a given song. Like janfive said, there are such things as instant classics. Good, memorable music should be recognized on its merits, not something arbitrary such as how long it's been around.

Still, regardless of my personal opinion I'm willing to compromise to an extent here for the sake of wanting to be able to assist further in this endeavor. At the very least you have to admit that 10 years is a ridiculously long period of time to put as a minimum age for a song to be considered here. I would think something more like 3 years would be much more acceptable. 3 years is long enough for most series to have completed their run and have been removed from being actively discussed and along with them their respective songs. If a given anime song persists after 3 years I'd call that plenty memorable enough to qualify.

The same with personal Top 10 lists, even I don't wait 10 years, let alone 1 week. I recently added CLANNAD AS as one of my Top 3, and that is a series that just finished last week.
Which is completely different from the scope of this particular thread, or at least from what I understand. For something to be considered the greatest and of all time, it has to follow a minimum set of guidelines, lest it becomes a naming game where everyone cites, precisely, their top 10.
About the 3-10 years thing, well I have to accept that even that is kindof subjective. I tried to attach it to the time one generation of students take to enter and exit secondary and tertiary education, but even that is an arbitrary threshold. I don't know whether 3 years is long enough, but I guess we can compromise.

I think for now what we should do is get back to the proper business of this thread. We've derailed this far too much.
A few more recommendations:
Give A Reason - OP from Slayers Next
Ordinary Sunday - OP from Boys Over Flowers
Angel Voice - song from Macross Dynamite 7

A comment was made that a song should be at least 10 years old before it is inducted since it is uncertain whether its popularity will survive with the passage of time. Good point since, kinda like J-Pop, some anime songs have a short shelf life - they're instantly catchy but rarely stick with you after the anime ended. On the other hand, it kinda defeats the "greatest of ALL TIME" theme of this thread if recent songs should be denied consideration. This thread was put up for the new fans of anime music. What better way to let them get acquainted to anime music than to give them a mix of the greatest of the new and the old anime songs. When the time comes when I'll rank the 1,000 greatest songs of all time (probably after the 100th week) I'll rank them according to their current relevance. Maybe if I'm fortunate enough to rank them again 10 years from now their ranks from the last list would most certainly be different. That's what polls and lists do, they rank importance on that point in time when they were conducted. I don't view them as definitive or set in stone but I see them as a good guide on music appreciation.

Delicious cheese popovers
Here's an easy and delightful popover recipe that I adapted from the September 2009 issue of The Gourmet - Mini Provolone popovers. These reminded me of gougerés, but the batter is even easier - not a choux pastry, but more like a Yorkshire pudding pastry. (Not that gougerés are difficult to do, but these were super-easy to throw together). Recommended! They're delightful as they are, but I can also imagine serving these alongside a simple soup instead of 'regular' bread rolls, and although these are best served hot, they'd disappear from a picnic basket or lunch box just as quickly.
I used a 24-cup mini-muffin pan, but you can also use a regular muffin pan, if you haven't got a mini one.
Mini cheese popovers
(Väikesed juustukohrud)
Makes 24 popovers
250 ml (1 cup) full-fat milk
2 large eggs
150 g plain flour (1 cup/250 ml)
1 Tbsp butter, melted
0.5 tsp salt
a pinch of black pepper
5 Tbsp coarsely grated strong cheese (I used Gouda)
2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp finely chopped dill or chives
Whisk together milk, eggs, flour, melted butter, salt, and pepper until smooth, then stir in cheeses and herbs. Chill 1 hour to allow batter to rest. (NB! You can make the batter 1 day ahead and keep chilled).
Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F with rack in upper third.
Butter muffin pan with some extra butter, then heat in oven until butter sizzles, about 2 minutes.
Gently stir batter, then divide among muffin cups (they will be about two-thirds full).
Bake until puffed and golden-brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

I tried these tonight and although they didn't look as pretty as yours (I used a mini muffin tin, too), they tasted great. I used a combination of colby and sharp cheddar cheeses - I think you can adapt this recipe to whatever cheeses you like/have on hand. Thanks for sharing.
