On Sunday in Los Angeles, an estimated 700 people rallied and marched from the LA Gay and Lesbian Center to the Social Security Administration's Hollywood office, chanting "Equal Rights Now" and demanding equal SSA benefits for same-sex couples, reports the LA Times.
"At the rally, Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Lakewood), who is a member of the House Subcommittee on Social Security, announced that she would sponsor legislation to provide equal Social Security benefits for same-sex couples. 'I don't think it's right that Americans should be treated differently by the country they love because of who they love,' she said, triggering thunderous applause.'Same-sex marriage couples pay equally into a system that they don't receive equal benefits from in return.' As of now, people in same-sex relationships are denied Social Security survivor benefits from their deceased partners because the federal government does not recognize same-sex marriages or domestic partnerships as valid relationships. Sanchez's bill calls for the Social Security Administration to recognize those civil unions or domestic partnerships as valid relationships for the purpose of disbursing survivor benefits that heterosexual couples with a marriage certificate now receive."
More on Sanchez's bill at The Advocate, who interviewed the congresswoman on Friday.
The rally kicked off the Rock for Equality campaign. The L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center posted photos of the rally at Facebook and reports: "Other political and community leaders at the event included Sen. Barbara Boxer, Rep. Judy Chu, Rep. Laura Richardson, L.A. City Councilmember Paul Koretz, West Hollywood Mayor Abbe Land, Center CEO Lorri L. Jean, National Gay & Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey and AIDS Community Action Foundation President Craig R. Miller."

Delta Air Lines reversed a second-quarter loss with with what it says is its largest quarterly profit in a decade
thanks to strong passenger revenue.
The world's largest airline said Monday its net income was $467 million, or 55 cents per share, in the April-June quarter. That compares to a loss of $257 million, or 31 cents a share, a year earlier.
It says revenue rose 17 percent to $8.17 billion from $7.00 billion a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, Delta says its earnings came to 65 cents a share. On that basis, analysts were expecting earnings of 63 cents a share on revenue of $8.25 billion.
Delta had $6.0 billion in unrestricted liquidity as of June 30. Its third-quarter capacity will be flat to up 2 percent.

Group D | England | Uruguay | Italy
Team DNA
Costa Rica have traditionally offered up an attack-heavy style that has combined athleticism with plenty of technical ability, but historically, there has been almost too much of an emphasis on attack, with the team preferring to win 5-4 than 1-0. It is in this area that the impact of manager Jorge Luis Pinto has been felt the most.
Costa Rica looked like a much more disciplined side during qualifying, and their qualification for Brazil has helped ease the pain of their heartbreaking 2010 qualifying campaign that saw them fall to Uruguay in a playoff.
Pinto settled upon a three-man back line late in qualifying, but if this year's friendlies are anything to go by, there is a distinct chance he'll revert to a four-man alignment for the World Cup. A group that includes Italy, England and Uruguay is daunting, so look for Costa Rica to play intelligently but avoid a bunker mentality.
In attack, the Ticos are reliant on Fulham midfielder Bryan Ruiz to provide creativity and Alvaro Saborio to get the goals. The wild card is Joel Campbell, a forward on the books of Arsenal who has been on loan at Olympiakos. Campbell provides the kind of speed that opponents must respect, especially on the counter.
Starting scenario
After enduring decades of futility, Costa Rica finally qualified for their first World Cup in 1990 and reached the round of 16 in their debut. They didn't return to the Cup until 2002, and the last time Costa Rica qualified (2006), they were eliminated without recording a point.
How they reached Brazil
Ironically, it was the semifinal round -- and not the final round Hexagonal -- that caused Costa Rica the most anxiety during qualifying. Heading into the penultimate game at El Salvador, a victory by the Cuscatlecos would have eliminated Costa Rica. But the Ticos were able to secure a critical 1-0 win thanks to a Jose Miguel Cubero goal. The Ticos then clinched passage into the Hexagonal with a resounding 7-0 win against Guyana.
The Hex mostly ran to form for Costa Rica as they finished second behind the United States. The Ticos swept their home matches, including a resounding 3-1 win against the U.S. that effectively clinched qualification while providing revenge for the 1-0 defeat earlier in the round that took place in a snowstorm. A 1-1 draw at Jamaica officially booked the Ticos' ticket to Brazil. Ruiz's three goals paced Costa Rica during the final round, with Celso Borges and Saborio each scoring twice.
The numbers never lie
Calculating a nation's passion for the game based on how well it pays its manager, attends its games and gets out to play:
Key battles
Given Costa Rica's long-standing rivalry with Mexico and the United States, any matches against those two teams always take on added significance. The chance of Costa Rica meeting one of those teams is minute, however. The earliest the Ticos could face Mexico is in the quarterfinals, while the semis mark the earliest they could face the Americans. Such a scenario would require one of Costa Rica and the U.S. winning its group, which is borderline unthinkable.
There does remain one potential matchup that would be fraught with intrigue. If Costa Rica were to finish second in Group D and Colombia prevailed in Group C, then a matchup with the Cafeteros -- who once employed native son Pinto as their manager -- would be in store. That would no doubt be an emotional experience for the Costa Rica manager.
Most important player
Ruiz is the man who makes the Costa Rica attack tick, and, given the difficulty of the group, the Ticos' ability to create chances will largely fall on the Fulham man. His ability to find gaps between the defensive and midfield lines makes it difficult for opponents to track him, and he's shown a nose for the goal as well.
Ruiz fell out of favor at Fulham this season but had more success during a loan stint at PSV Eindhoven, recording five goals and two assists in 15 appearances.
If it's up to Ruiz to create chances, it will be up to Saborio to finish them off. The Real Salt Lake forward was hampered by injuries during qualifying but looks to be healthy now.
The Ticos will also need goalkeeper Keylor Navas to come up big, and, fortunately for Costa Rica, he is coming off a fine season with La Liga side Levante.
Definition of success
The only time Costa Rica have reached the knockout rounds came in 1990. On that occasion, the Ticos finished second in Group C behind Brazil but dispatched Scotland and Sweden along the way before falling to Czechoslovakia 4-1 in the round of 16.
But if Costa Rica can somehow navigate its way out of Group D against a trio that has won a combined seven World Cups, then it will go down as the greatest footballing achievement in the country's history. No doubt, that will take some doing.
The Ticos are considered huge underdogs in this group, and they could quite easily lose all three games. If Costa Rica simply plays well and grabs a point or two, it should be considered a success. It would certainly be an improvement on their World Cup showing in 2006.
How far will Costa Rica go?
Costa Rica will do well to secure any points at all. It looks like three games and out for the Ticos.
ESPN FC Analysts' take: Kasey Keller
Costa Rica pride themselves on stingy defense, so this isn't a team that is going to get crushed despite their opponents' impressive résumés. But, in the end, they're just not going to get enough goal-scoring chances to make up for the ones they give up. Their opponents' fans will be thinking Costa Rica is an easy win for their teams, and they'll probably be right.
If Pinto decides to play four at the back in an attempt to keep possession in more advanced positions, he could allow the likes of Luis Suarez or Mario Balotelli too much space. Looks like a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Such a rare value these days, somedays I feel.
I could not post on schedule last Saturday, because I was superbly hungover when I woke up and then spent the whole day trying to be, what I wanted to write about that day. Let me explain.
On Friday morning, I received a call at 7 AM from a guy about 3 abandoned kittens, barely half a week old. I was barely awake, and honestly I have no place to put them, so I promised I will post for him & get back by afternoon. I did post for them at that ungodly hour, and surprise surprise, I received a lot of calls. When I get a call for infant kittens, the first thing I do is look for a nursing mother. Usually mother cats take on abandoned kittens, and nothing beats moms milk. If I don't then, we need to step in and become moms. It is a really really exhausting, hard and an amazingly wonderful place to be in. I nursed my last three babies and Mouse was one of them (quite obviously mom's favorite). :)
Anyway, so thankfully, beautiful people of Mumbai swung into action and by late afternoon I had 3 calls from people who had nursing mothers. I remembered one more person who had called me a week ago requesting help for something else, who had mentioned in passing that her cat was supposed to deliver. I decided to try my luck with her cat. On Saturday, we drove over with our little babies, and within the first ten minutes, mommy cat hugged and kissed and licked our new babies. PHEW!! :) Such a relief. We all sat there for a while just stroking Cleopatra (mommy) and cooing over how tiny & beautiful the babies were (who technically are deaf and blind and scrawny at this point... :P)
Kindness gives us so many happy endings, doesn't it? I love meeting people who are nice, polite, compassionate and go out of their way if someone in trouble really needs their help. I like kind people. I meet my fair share of jerks working the job I do, but it also puts me in touch with people who are so beautifully compassionate & kind, it fills my heart up. :)
P.S.: I work with an animal welfare NGO. I head corporate relations, strategy & kitten adoptions... just incase you are wondering. Animal help in Mumbai? Get in touch with me email@example.com :)

Novell has renewed its efforts in the mobile arena by today announcing the availability of Mono for Android, a set of tools for developing .NET applications for the Android platform using Microsoft Visual Studio. Following the Mono Project's core tenet of making Microsoft .NET applications capable of running cross-platform, Novell says that it is now enabling Visual Studio, .NET, and C# developers to utilize a common code base to create applications for the industry's most widely-used mobile devices, including Android-based phones and tablets, Apple iPad, Apple iPod Touch, and Apple iPhone.
Making a bid for the MSDN's weighty membership base, Novell's message to Visual Studio developers is that they will be able to stay within their preferred IDE and use their existing skills and the extensive .NET ecosystem of code, libraries, and tools to use the C# and .NET languages to create mobile applications for Android-based devices.
In terms of form and function, Novell says that Mono for Android consists of the core Mono runtime, bindings for native Android APIs, a Visual Studio 2010 plugin (to develop Android applications with), and a software development kit that contains tools to build, debug, and deploy applications. With the Visual Studio 2010 plugin, engineers can develop, debug, and deploy their applications to an Android simulator, an Android device, or the Android Application Store.
According to Novell, "Mono for Android complements MonoTouch, Novell's solution for developing applications for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch using the Microsoft .NET framework. Developers utilizing Mono for Android and MonoTouch can save time and money by sharing common code between iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android phones and tablets, as well as Windows Phone 7, Windows desktops, and Windows Server. There is also a Mono for Android add-in for MonoDevelop users that prefer to develop on OS X."

For a long time people have been telling me that family, love and happiness are the important things in life…Now I realized that I can take or leave all that so long as I have this radio accessory in the world.
This week we get closer to the Iron Man dream with Intel�s �Jarvis� technology, enjoy extended music streaming from Spotify, learn of Samsung�s 2014 plans and report the announcement of two new exciting gadgets.
CUTTING EDGE: Intel Releases Their Smart Earpiece �Jarvis�
Well you Iron Man fans will be happy as Intel has just introduced �Jarvis�, their smart earpiece designed to rival Apple�s Siri and Google Now.
Jarvis performs commands that can be carried out by your phone, it can even make suggestions and interrupt you with relevant information you might want to know.
What might be slightly disheartening to you die-hard Iron Man fans though is that Jarvis actually speaks with a female voice not that of Paul Bettany�Still, Intel provided a live demonstration of the product at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
On request, it recommended a restaurant, arranged a call to make a reservation and even re-scheduled calendar events. Of course, digital assistants are nothing new; Siri in particular has been with us for some time now.
However, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich believes the competition cannot yet match the conversational and hands-free elements of Jarvis. It is always-listening and can seamlessly integrate with your calendar, interrupting politely with the information you need.
APPLE: Spotify Introduces Free �Shuffle-play� Feature for iOS
The music streaming service Spotify has recently unveiled an update for its iOS app that allows users to play an artist�s whole music catalogue without a paid subscription.
The limitation is that this can only be done through shuffle mode but now all user and Spotify created playlists can be listened to as well.
Advertisements will still play every now and then, which is to be expected but on iPad, users can listen to any song at any time, without the �shuffle-play� limitation.
It had previously been the case that Spotify users must pay a subscription to stream music on their mobile devices as per the company�s licensing agreements with music labels.
However, recent pressure from the ever-growing US service Pandora and Apple�s iTunes Radio has caused the Swedish company to make changes as it struggles to maintain market share.
It would be a shame to see Spotify fall behind its rivals; it offers a fairly comprehensive music catalogue and its iOS apps for both iPhone and iPad are slick and intuitive. This recent change is a definitely a step in the right direction.
ANDROID: Samsung Unveils its Plans for 2014
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Samsung has outlined its plans for various Android devices to be released this year.
The biggest revelation is that the Galaxy S5 may come out as soon as April, potentially with new iris-scanning technology in response to Apple�s fingerprint reader on the iPhone 5S.
Samsung�s Galaxy S range has long been considered their flagship so it�s good to see they might be pushing some technological boundaries here.
Samsung�s mobile executive Vice President Lee Young-Hee also revealed that the Galaxy Gear smartwatch is set for a makeover, improving on the somewhat bulky design of the original and increasing its functionality.
Finally, the Note 4 might emerge in the second half of 2014 with a three-sided display to allow for multiple viewing angles.
That could really be something to see, excuse the pun� Lee went on to say that significant improvements will be made to their flagship Galaxy S5 after a somewhat lacklustre consumer response to its predecessor.
As a result, Samsung will be �going back to basics� focusing on hardware, screen and the overall feel of the phone. It has been rumoured that we may see an overhaul of Samsung�s user interface as well.
Previous iterations of its Android based �Touchwiz� UI have not always been well-received so it would be good to see some improvement. This hasn�t been confirmed yet so fingers crossed for now.
GADGETS: �Pebble Steel� High-end Smartwatch Announced
If you cast your minds back you might remember us writing about the �Pebble� smartwatch, arguably one of the better wearable tech pieces of last year.
Well now they have stepped into the high-end market with the introduction of the �Pebble Steel�. It will be available in both a brushed stainless steel and matte black finish with the choice of a matching or leather strap.
The Steel also uses Corning gorilla glass to protect its face, which should make it quite durable. If this wasn�t enough, it even gets a brand new Pebble app-store with six main categories: daily, fitness, remotes, tools and utilities, notifications and games.
The addition of a dedicated app-store means developers no longer need to rely on the iOS notification centre to relay information so can create a smoother user experience.
If you have the original Pebble, don�t worry you won�t be missing out as a firmware update is due to allow you use of the new app store as well.
However, if you don�t yet have a smartwatch, the Steel retails for $249 over at getpebble.com with pre-orders shipping globally from January 28th.
GAMING: SteelSeries Unveil the �Stratus� Bluetooth Gaming Controller
Gaming peripheral creator SteelSeries has recently unveiled its new Bluetooth gaming controller the �Stratus�.
The new product is MFI-certified, which means it has been signed off to work with all Apple devices.
It differs from the competition by acting as a standalone controller and uses Apple�s �extended� control layout featuring: a directional pad, four action buttons, four shoulder buttons and dual analog sticks.
The Stratus has a built-in battery providing around ten hours of game time from a full charge and can be topped-up by USB charging in just two hours.
Up to four Stratus controllers can be connected to a single iOS device at once, with LED lights showing which controller is which.
This rather exciting new device can be purchased in a not quite so thrilling choice of black or white colours and is available for pre-order from the company�s website.
It costs just under �85 and is set to ship on March 2nd.

NEW YORK F.A.K.E COP ANDREW KELLY: THIS IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN PIGS LIE; Love & Miss Vionique Valnord
"This is what it sounds like when pigs lie," New York Black Foot Soldier Caesar Stuyvesant condemned in a private rally held for the beautiful sister, Vionique Valnord, killed by an apparent drunken cop, last week in Old Mill Basin.
New York Black Foot Soldiers are expressing outrage over a blood-alcohol test that found no trace of alcohol in thirty year old officer's system who ran her down because the test wasn't administered to him until more than seven hours after the he struck her.
"These are the kind of men who claim to represent the law," of officer Andrew Kelly, Stuyvesant damned. "These are the kind evil collusions ours face from them every second of every minute of every hour of every day. White so called police officers are terrorists. This reprehensible hog they call police officer Andrew Kelly is a killer and a liar who deserves to eat the fruits of his hypocrisy."
Stuyvesant gave no indication how the crime would be handled on the street level or whether a Street Penitentiary Protest would be staged.
Numerous reports allege fellow officers provided Kelly gum, water and even other alcohol absorbants before, during and after his arrest.

Talk:German phrasebook
Surely all phrasebooks should be made out in a standard accent and not in regional dialects. When learning English you don't learn it how Cocknies speak it or how it is spoken in New York. Most foreigners learning English will learn either standard Oxford English or American English. Is there, therefore, any need for so many dialectical forms of the greetings of the language? It simply confuses the article! You wouldn't teach a foreigner to say "ya'reet" as they do in the southwest of England. I suggest removing these regional variations and if necessary, creating separate niederdeutsch, and deutschsprachige schweiz, etc phrasebooks.
Abzocken - You're cheating me[edit]
Don't say "abzocken", that's street slang and sounds as if you were offering a fist fight. The correct German for "You're cheating me" is "Sie übervorteilen mich" albeit it might sound a bit old-fashioned, it's still far better than "abzocken". "Das ist nicht fair" - "This is not fair" is another possibility.
Why not simply say: This is too much? (Das ist zu viel/zu teuer.) In fact, "abzocken" if not said with a smile on your face might insult the seller. Trying to bargain if you do not speak german is really difficult. Maybe you just say "Das ist mir zu teuer" (This is too expensive for me!) and go away. Slowly, of course. :-) Maybe the seller then will react and reduce the price. Bargaining if don´t speak english may be really useless, I'm afraid.
I want to check out.[edit]
Ich möchte Sie verlassen. (ikh MOOKH-tuh zee vayr-lahs-sen)
No one will understand you, if you say "Ich möchte Sie verlassen" when checking out in a hotel. There is an anglicism for this: The verb "auschecken". I suggest using the phrase : "Ich würde gerne auschecken" or "Ich möchte auschecken" Karl
Actually, a correct high German term would be "Ich möchte abreisen" - "I would like to depart", "auschecken" sounds snobbish.
WOW! This is SO GREAT! -- Evan 20:16, 1 Nov 2003 (PST)
Sorry Evan, why did you remove my GFDL agreement??? I think it is my right to agree to different licences and actualy, you have proposed that yourself:
That said, you are welcome to label your contributions as being dual-licensed, as long as you're not basing them on other people's by-sa licensed work. -- Evan 12:47, 29 Oct 2003 (PST)
cite from Wikitravel talk:Why Wikitravel isn't GFDL
-- Hansm 08:00, 2003 Nov 2 (PST)
Moved from the article by Evan
Licence note: The author explicitly agrees to the publication under the terms of the GFDL.
NOTE: Once another author besides HansM started working on this article, they had to choose one of the two licenses he made it available under: either the GFDL or the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. That contributor was me (Evan). If I had chosen to use the GFDL, it would mean that either a) we would have to delete the article from Wikitravel, since other contributors could no longer make derived works based on the by-sa license, or b) we would have to figure out a way in our software to mark articles as GFDL-only.
I didn't want to hassle with it, so the derived work I made is under the CC-BY-SA license. Let me reiterate: according to the provisions of the GFDL and by-sa themselves, someone deriving a new work from a dual-licensed work must pick one and only one of those licenses to use for the derived work. I chose by-sa, for the reasons outlined in Why Wikitravel isn't GFDL as well as from pure laziness -- I don't want to have to hack the MediaWiki software to track multiple licenses and the dual-licensing problem.
Hansm's last dual-licensed version is here: http://www.wikitravel.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=German_phrasebook&oldid=2581. Anyone is welcome to derive GFDL'd work from that -- but please don't upload it to Wikitravel, as it's not possible with our software right now.
Sorry for the hassle -- it's inherent in dual-licensed work. See Wikitravel:Dual licensing for more discussion. -- Evan 08:04, 2 Nov 2003 (PST)
Ok, Evan. That seems to be convincing. Anyway, it realy would be a great goal to find some possibility to implement dual licensing features. -- Hansm 08:23, 2003 Nov 2 (PST)
So, I thought I'd answer some of the questions in the phrasebook, at least what I was thinking when I was making the first draft of the Phrasebook template:
I think that "Can you change a traveler's check?" is fine. Or "Do you cash traveler's checks?", "Would you accept a traveler's check?", etc.
An "automatic teller machine" is a public computer kiosk people use to extract cash from a bank account or credit card. "ATM" is an abbreviation for it. I think they're sometimes called "cash machines" or "automated cashiers" (here in Quebec it's a guichet automatique, I can't recall if it's the same term in France or not).
It's a pretty unusual question in North America, too. In parts of Asia, though, it's considered a little finicky but perfectly all right -- kind of like looking at a hotel or motel room before you pay for it. I'd say that in general, for phrases that would be unusual or just plain rude, it's probably best to just leave the phrase out.
Well, y'know. Maybe "low fat" would be a better word here than "lite".
I think maybe you should add all those beers to the "Bar" section, eh?
A way of saying "Please take these plates and bowls off the table, because we're finished eating."
Agreed as to the uselessness of this for most metric-using countries (Quebec has pints, by the way -- I have to order une pint). Maybe we should have instead something like "little beer", "big beer"?
In the US and I think other English-speaking countries, you ask for a cocktail or mixed drink by naming the alcohol and mixer that go in it: "whiskey and soda", "rum and Coke", "vodka and tonic". I was trying to figure out a way to say this without listing every possible combination. Apparently I failed. B-)
This is just carbonated water, used for mixing drinks. I don't know where the "club" part comes from. It's also called "soda water" or "seltzer" in English.
This was actually for those times when you get in a transaction with a street vendor, tour guide, or someone else, and you realize that they're trying to trick you. (Making mental note: Common scams might be a good travel topic). The idea is just to say, "I know this is a trick, and I'm walking away now." I guess also it might be good to have a statement like, "I know that this is not the regular price."
This is a street sign in the USA and I think also in Canada and some other English-speaking countries. You see it when two streets merge together, and drivers on one street -- usually the smaller one -- have to wait until there's no traffic on the other street before joining.
Let me finally say that I think this is a fabulous phrasebook. Very, very good work! -- Evan 09:21, 4 Nov 2003 (PST)
Do you speak English?[edit]
Tonicwater revert[edit]
I reverted tonic water : Tonicwater (TO-nic-woh-tuh ) because I do not think that is quite right. Surely it would be tonic water : Tonicwasser (TO-nic-vas-sa ) or something like that. But then that is only a guess on my part. -- Huttite 05:51, 14 Dec 2005 (EST)
It's not true that a ch at the beginning of a word is always pronounced as a k sound. It's only true for south Germany and when there's a consonant following the Ch. Chor (choir) or Charakter (character) are pronounced with a k sound, but e. g. Chemie (chemistry) or China have the sound as in ich. People will understand you though, because it is common in Bavaria etc. after all. Most words starting with ch are not originially German anyway and are pronounced roughly as they are in their original language (mostly French and English), that is with a sh sound (as in Chance) or tsh (as in Chips).
Entschuldigen Sie / Entschuldigung[edit]
In everyday usage they are identical, there is no difference in usage. People apologize with both and people ask for attention with both.--22.214.171.124 02:15, 25 March 2010 (EDT)
Low German[edit]
Why is it only related to Dutch and Danish? Why not other mainland Scandinavian languages (excluding Icelandic and Faroese of course)? They are very similar to Danish as well, and the Danish pronunciation is very different from the Swedish and Norwegian ones, and the Low German pronunciation is (mostly, but not always) more similar to Swedish and especially Norwegian. In written form all are very closely related.

One thing about high technology is there's always something new coming along. Usually, it's better, at least in some way. Yet, you can't throw out what you already have until you are sure you have a replacement. That's still one of the things that makes technology assessment a bit of an art. Look at the recent machinations around Jigsaw, for example.
Recently, Oracle's Mark Reinhold blogged to the effect that Project Jigsaw will not be ready for the next rev of Java -- that is, Java 8, planned for September 2013. That could very well place Jigsaw as a standard reality somewhere in the 2015 timeframe.
Perhaps one could kind of see this coming. It doesn't take a seer. OSGi does some difficult work, and it took time to happen. Jigsaw may do the work more easily or differently, but it, too, takes time to happen. We recall SearchSOA.com's coverage of Jigsaw when described as part of a 2011 story on then-new OSGi bundling.
Read the news at SearchSOA.com and let us know what you think about the proposed Jigsaw delays.

The United Nations Foundation Joins White House Initiative to Encourage Public Service
The UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets Campaign Will Host A Dc Event On June 23rd
Washington, D.C.
June 23, 2009
Megan Rabbitt
This week and throughout the summer, millions of people across the country will respond to the call to service made by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama through a new initiative launched today titled United We Serve. The United Nations Foundation is proud to join the initiative with a service project with a global twist on Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Washington DC's First Lady Michelle Fenty, the UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets Campaign, and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater DC will host a day of activities in Washington, DC to educate young people about malaria and mobilize them to protect children and families living in refugee camps in Africa.
The UN Foundation also pointed to the service project of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, who taught middle and high school students at the Harlem Children's Zone about the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the work of key UN agencies such as UNICEF to help provide relief and emergency supplies. She and other leading officials of the Obama Administration participated in service projects in cities all over America.
"By including the UN and global issues in this summer's activities, the Administration is demonstrating that international engagement – big or small – can bring about common understanding about our biggest, most challenging programs around the world," said Kathy Calvin, COO and Executive Vice President, UN Foundation.
For more than a decade, the UN Foundation has engaged communities around the country – including young people, faith leaders, and local activists – in the work of the UN. The Foundation has hosted more than 20,000 events, including debates and town halls where people have come together to discuss issues such as nuclear disarmament, the Millennium Development Goals, and climate change. Most recently, in more than a dozen cities, the Foundation has hosted educational "boot camps" where young children can learn about malaria and ways that they can make a difference in the lives of women and children in Africa.
The UN Foundation is proud to partner with the White House and the Corporation for National and Community Service on United We Serve. The Foundation encourages everyone to join the First Family, Ambassador Rice and the UNFoundation in this important initiative to mobilize millions to make change in their local community and their world. For information about United We Serve please visit www.serve.gov.

I'm trying to dig out from an overwhelming amount of information I've received over the summer on the Plenzlers as well as still work through the backlog of Calvary Cemetery photos I have. So, today, we're revisiting an earlier post about my 2nd great-grandfather's father, that of Joseph Plenzler (husband of Mary Lesiecka). Bear with the wordy sentences when I describe these relationship, but my great-great grandfather and his sons and grandsons all had the same names as well as named their offspring similarly. So it gets tedious at times.
Long story short, this is a follow up to an earlier post, located here:
Bartholomeus married a Barbara Hirsch in Czapury, Wielkopolskie, Poland, on 14 July 1850. Marriage was witnessed by Andreas Plenzler, who likely is a brother to Bartholomeus and Joseph and Gregorious Demel, both of Wiorek. Barbara is noted as "vidua" or widowed. Age of the groom is 25, age of the bride is 30. This is Bartholomeus' first marriage.
Pertinent snippets from the marriage record are below. Click to enlarge.
Many thanks to Jim and Cinny Sobieski for their hard work and efforts with the Plenzler family! Time and again, I'm awed at the generosity of genealogy community.

A few months ago I wrote a blog post on compiling FireFox for the powerpc on Debian Linux. I had built Firefox 9 when I was writing that post and in the intervening months, thanks to the Mozilla rapid release cycle, Firefox 16 has been released. Does Firefox 16 still build on the powerpc with Debian Squeeze?
- I downloaded the latest firefox source code from mozilla
- This time I didn't need to apply any patches for the powerpc.
- When I ran ./configure followed by 'make' as described in my post on Firefox9 I encountered a compile error.
syntax error in VERSION script when trying to build libraries in the subdirectories under security/nss/lib such as util (libnssutil).
The issue is that the mapfiles such as security/nss/lib/util/nssutil.def that are included in the source tree are not suitable as input files to the linker but need to be pre-processed first. The rules to process the 'MAPFILE' are defined in security/coreconf/Linux.mk and are invoked by a rule in security/coreconf/Rules.mk that build a proper mapfile by running the mapfile distributed in the source tree (such as nssutil.def) through sed and grep to produce a file that can be passed to the linker.
The make rule takes a mapfile $(MAPFILE_SOURCE)=nssutil.def and generates $(MAPFILE)=nssutil.def from it. If you try building firefox as I describe above it will put the output files in the same directory as the input files. This means that the sed/grep rule won't be executed because the target (nssutil.def) is already present and isn't older than the dependency (nssutil.def), itself.
If you instead
- Set the shell environment variable MOZ_OBJDIR to be a directory other than the source directory
- Put your configure options in the file .mozconfig, as described in the Mozilla build instructions
- Run make -f client.mk
firefox 16 will build successfully. The issues I encountered with the version script shouldn't be specific to the powerpc or debian.

The little North Pembrokeshire town of Goodwick is not so well-known as its twin on the other side of the bay - Fishguard.
But, somewhat paradoxically, it is at Goodwick that Fishguard Harbour is situated together with the terminus of the former Great Western Railway line from Paddington to the western tip of South Wales.
Goodwick sands is still popular with families as its shallow, sheltered waters are ideal for bathing and messing about in small boats. Twice daily the Stena Ferries sail to and from Rosslare in Ireland, the large white vessels attracting shore watchers' interest. Ferry passengers often take in the local tourist attractions and learn something about the area's interesting history.
Before the harbour and the railway were built in 1906 with the intention of accommodating trans-Atlantic liners in competition with Liverpool and Southampton, Fishguard was a flourshing herring fishery and busy trading port, and Fishguard Harbour was tucked into a narrow inlet on the opposite side of the bay from the present day Ferry Port. And Goodwick was just a small village with only a few houses and a fishing quay on the more sheltered side of the bay.
Old photographs show Goodwick with beached sailing vessels on the wide stretch of sand separating it from Fishguard, with no sign then of the breakwaters built later to develop the new port.
There were a few holiday guest houses along the shore at Goodwick for it was beginning to develop as a seaside resort for fashionable Victorians, but it was the building of the harbour and the extension of the railway line that kick-started its growth, with a new church and police station built in 1912.
The trans-Atlantic trade started in a small way with visits by the Cunard liners Mauretania and Aquitania, but the want of a deep-water quay and pressure from vested interests in the two rival ports, soon caused the pipedream to fade and the twin towns were forced to return to reliance on fishing and ferry traffic with Ireland.
Goodwick beach was the scene in February 1797 of the surrender of French troops and mercenaries who took part in the Last Invasion of Britain when they landed on the coast near Strumble Head. An undisciplined rabble, many of them convicts released for the occasion, they soon became so inebriated from their pillaging of the local rural farms and cottages on the Pencaer Peninsula that they quickly succumbed to the Pembrokeshire Militia. They were taken in, says local folklore, by the militant local women, led by a formidable woman named Jemimah Nicholas, a local shoemaker, who led the ladies on forays into the invaders' territory, capturing some at the point of their pitchforks. They also fell for the cunning plan played out by Jemimah and her feminine foot-soldiers, who, clad in red Welsh flannel with tall black conical hats, marched round a hill at Fishguard deceiving the drunken French mercenaries into believing they were Militia reinforcements arriving.

(head. heart. gut.)
i believe
with all of my heart
with every ounce of logic
and with that rawest of instinct
that this is all we are made of.
the heart beats
and blood rushes to the head
and the gut twists
the gut writhes inside of us all
and they are all bickering
loudly and honestly
and with no sense of reservation
trying to decide
what to do
and who we are
and where
we are going.
this holiest trinity
that resides within us all.
let us pray.
let us pray first of all
that we acknowledge our hearts
that though they do not have a mouth
nor a check-in box on a voting ballot
that they do in fact have something to say
the heart will endlessly be compared to a drum
i will never stop comparing the heart to a drum
because deep
deep in the dark forest of night
at the core of our jungle is the purest of black
but there resides the drum
the drum that beats and fire rises around it
and the people gather within us
to form great circles around the heart
and we honor that which allows us to love
and forgive ourselves
that it also has allowed all of us to hate
but the drum beats either way
systolic elation
diastolic revelation
the cause
and the effect
the river
and its ripple
the vibration
and its echo
and it shakes water from deep lakes within us
and they rise to our eyes when called upon
when we cannot hold in
that which makes us human
and when our heart declares war
it is our head that begins to prepare
our head
a great philosopher
pacing around our skull
unrolling maps
and sticking thumbtacks
in foreign lands
crashing meticulously knights
into fragile queens
and claiming checkmate
when it has seen ahead
of the face across the table
it is the head that allows us to keep the heart
the eyes that move along the words
that turns madness into reality
that turns reality into the past
and some things
do not belong to emotion
some things
do not belong to logic or reason
some things are written
by an invisible hand
that moves us through harsh winter
into uncertainty
the gut
raw as raw
the gut that does not tell you what to do
it does
the hand that removes itself from the hot fire
the moment when nothing can explain why
that it is this
that you have to do
and the head and the gut they bicker
and they always bicker
and get into loud shouting matches
over anything and everything
as the heart tells them both to calm down
as if the heart doesn't have its fair share
of shouting matches
with them both
but they have to do this
three sailors
lost in our sea
in a boat barely big enough
for them all.
to think.
to love.
to act.
what else is there to do?

Tombstone of John Behagg, Smithland Cemetery.
John Behagg never bought or sold land. He never applied for a license to keep a ferry, tavern or coffee house. He was never appointed to appraise an estate or to work on the public roads. He never left a will or had sufficient estate to require an administrator. Very likely his life was one of hard work trying to provide for himself, his wife and his step-children. John Behagg was the sexton, or grave digger, for Smithland, Kentucky in the mid-1800s. While he generated few public records, there is enough information to get a glimpse of his life.
I first ran across Behagg's name while researching Martha Barner Taylor. Miss Pattie, as she was usually known, died in Nashville in 1869 and her body was brought back for burial in Smithland Cemetery. One of the estate expenses listed was to "Behagg for digging grave, $5.00." That was enough to make me wonder who "Behagg" was and if this was how he earned his living.
Records on John Behagg were few and far between in Livingston County. However, I found several vouchers in county court minutes for digging graves for paupers and also found that in August 1845, he was appointed to take charge of the courthouse. This was likely for keeping the courthouse clean and orderly.
Census records show that John Behagg was in Livingston County by 1840 and had a number of people in his household, including a female who was of the age to have been his wife. No marriage record for him was found in Livingston County, but there is a marriage for John Behagg and Amanda Leftridge 9 May 1836 in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. There were other Behaggs in Evansville, but they didn't show up for some years after this marriage. However, maybe he was related to some Behaggs in neighboring Warrick County, Indiana. Were John and Amanda living in Indiana at the time of their marriage or did they make a special trip to Evansville to marry?
The Behaggs were still living in Smithland at the time of the 1850 census, along with Amanda and Joseph Leftridge, who were probably the children of Amanda by a former marriage. On the 1860 and 1870 census Livingston County census records, John Behagg is listed with Hester Behagg. I have an idea Amanda and Hester were the same person as on 7 November 1841 in Livingston County, Sarah Lefftrage, daughter of Mrs. Hester Behagg, married James Drewry.
Per Livingston Circuit Court Order Book L, page 260, John Behagg appeared in court on 2 October 1844 and made a declaration for the purpose of becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States. He stated that he was "born in the Kingdom of Great Britain in Huntingfordshire [sic] England. That he left that Kingdom and came to the United States of America in the year 1828 …" According to Circuit Court Order Book M, page 276, on Friday, the 19th of November 1847, John Behagg was declared to be a citizen of the U.S.
Amanda/Hester must have died after she and John appeared on the 1870 census as John married Rebecca Stevenson on the 23rd of October 1872 at the Methodist Church in Smithland. When John obtained the marriage bond (Marriage Bond Book 1, page 4), he stated it was his third marriage and he was sexton of a church. He was 71 years old. This was the first marriage for his bride, Rebecca, who was 26 years old.
When John Behagg died 2 November 1875, he left no will or estate settlement. However, his grave is marked by a tombstone, now on the ground, in Smithland Cemetery. It states he was 78 years and 3 months old at the time of his death. Although the age differs from what was shown on the census records, it is surely the same man. There was no other person in Smithland or vicinity with the name Behagg. Nearby is a tombstone for a child of Joseph Leftridge.
So, even with few available records, a small picture of John Behagg has emerged. This proves that no matter what the occupation or social class, every person in town has a story to tell. John Behagg may not have served in public office or been a large landowner, but he was a part of the town and performed a useful service in his job.

Gratz to paragon Impressive
Gratz to paragon Impressive
it's sick...
lk25hc is tuned to be beaten without the zone buff with full i277/84, so it was very much expected, not really that impressive tho. and no, im not a fanboy of any guild, you just have to understand its not that big of a feat when everyone is into 277/84
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...1rthd/advanced - Elemental Shaman PvE
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...erell/advanced - Protection Paladin PvE
Well done to Paragon Aye, They are the best ^^
Nakkimon is rogue? i once played long time with a rogue with that name in a guild in wow classic wonder if he is the same one we called him slackimon he he
The only difference is, in TBC we wouldn't have had the increasing zonebuff and thus most likely no guild at all would have killed LK 25 HM before a timespan that it took Paragon now. Everything is pure speculation. MAYBE guilds would have tried harder without any buff at all. MAYBE hundred and thousand guilds would have quit because the last three encounters are too hard without a buff. Speculation.
Maybe they could have done it earlier without a buff, but it would be pretty "unfair" and infact bad design if any encounter is made deliberately unbeatable in any sort of gear.
It´s still hard with 30%. So it´s really impressive without the buff. gz paragon!
The 5% was more impressive, imo. But to those who say this wasn't impressive at ALL.....you're probably the guild noobs who get left behind everytime your guild raids ICC.
There's not that many guilds capable of doing LK 25 Heroic with no buff. And of course they need 277 gear, it's idiotic to expect them to charge in with full 232 gear. Criticize AFTER you've achieved something equal to this eh?
Gratz, good job
Ah well right now people fail at killing lk with the 30% buff ^^
/sigh. the point of the not impressive responses is because it's not compared to their first kill. Killing him with the 5% buff in the gear they had was incredibly impressive. It's obvious they were by far the best guild in the world. They did the insane downing him with only a 5% buff, but farming him for many weeks and having everyone decked out in the top gear possible makes it less impressive than the 5% kill.
Still, it's one hell of an accomplishment, I just think people are overlooking the massive gear upgrade they have gone through from their first kill. The original kill is just waay more impressive and was probably much, much harder.
I once had a character named "Clamslam" but Blizzard deemed it inappropriate.Retired from WoW: February 19, 2011. It was fun Blizz.
The people saying that it isn't really that impressive are people who I'm sure haven't even killed heroic LK. Paragon owned face this expansion and it's clear that they are the #1 guild in the world as of now. We'll have to see if another powerhouse (Ensidia, For the Horde, Exodus) can dethrone them in Cata
Very nice gogo fins
So many haters as always.
I for one haven't even killed the LK on normal mode yet, still at 11/12. Lack of time, motivation and too much work (and that's at a job that pretty much makes me unable to raid in a guild) are my excuses, I don't doubt that I have the 'skills' to kill him in normal mode though.
But am I one of the few that doesn't react like some others do? I think this is impressive, because I haven't done it. Also as you can see in the video it does require 25 (or 24 in their case :\) players that know exactly wtf to do. Great coördination, pretty impressive that they have so many people able to work together on such an hard encounter! Oh yeah, from what I have seen LK 25 on Heroic is already sick hard with a 30% buff...
I just hope I am able to get my LK kill before Cataclysm comes out, I have played every version of WoW and never managed to reach the "end boss" (not heroic-mode speaking).

Cling HappyWednesday, February 29th, 2012
"This is one of the best new products I've seen lately," Jim Tibbetts owner of Creative Image Studios, said. Tibbetts has been a professional photographer for thirty years, so he knows a good product when he sees one! "New products are what separate the professional photographers from the rest," he said. When Tibbetts saw Pounds Wall Clings, he immediately ordered two 11×14's, one contour cut and one full image. "I have them in my travel bag and take them everywhere". When he's not traveling, Tibbetts keeps the Wall Clings in his Chickasha, Oklahoma studio and shows them at least 3 or 4 times a day.
Tibbetts shoots a wide variety of subjects but has a special place in his heart for photographing seniors and sports. "I get excited when I get behind the camera, almost like a sugar high. I have the ability to do corrections in my mind as I trip the shutter, and then explain to my customer what I have in mind. They get excited, and become more relaxed. When you praise someone for what they have done, (allowing me to take a good photograph of them), it begins a friendship. I see many of the kids I've photographed when I'm out shopping around town and a lot of them remember me. We wave and do high fives. It makes me warm inside. You truly have to have a passion for what you do. Passion is not something you learn, it's something you have, " he said.
When Tibbetts saw Wall Clings for the first time, he realized immediately that they would be the next "big thing". "I can see parents decorating the kid's rooms or the den with a cling." Clings would also be great on a garage door or for team party decorations. Tibbetts uses an image of a third grade football player to showcase clings. "The clings are very durable, kind of like wallpaper but repositionable, he said. Pounds clings are also tear-resistant, waterproof and won't damage underlying surfaces.
"I think another great use of clings is as a way to display the family when they can't all be together for a portrait," Tibbetts said. "You know new products separate professional photographers from the crowd. I now have over 50 competitors in my area. I stay a step ahead by always offering the latest products and, with great items like Wall Clings, Pounds helps me stay there!"

I thought the reductor spell "reduced" an object to it's base elements. Like ginny did to the target dummy in the Room of Requirement and I'm assuming it's what Dumbledore used to turn the flying shards of glass Voldemort threw at him in the Ministry of Magic into sand. I think if used on a human it could do some serious damage.
...as this curse shatters objects into pieces. And if so, why is it not an unforgivable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs).
- You can't use it on a human, but it can be lethal in certain conditions. If you sit under something heavy and somebody casts the reductor curse , the object will explode and you will probably get really hurt. Ronweasleypwns
- I am left with the impression (maybe wrong) that many spells can kill you. For example, when professor McGonagall was attacked by the Aurors with stunning spell and she almost died, but this spell is not unforgivable. Vengerer 11:44, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
- McGonagall was hit by four stunners simultaneously to the chest, at her age that could inflict serious damage, but I doubt kill her. Anyway, no, the Reductor curse cannot kill you as it cannot be used against a person. --Hcoknhoj 15:05, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
I believe It can kill you only for the reason we see other spells kill certain people for instance, Molly Weasley killing Bellatrix with an unknown spell (not a killing curse). --Profiteor 01:09, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
Ofcourse, it can. You're in a house. "Reducto!" The roof falls. R.I.P. you. Ninjakai6478 (talk) 07:20, March 24, 2018 (UTC)
Whether or not "Reducto" is lethal is unknown; however, it can be used on humans. Ginny Weasly used the "Reducto" charm on a Deatheater during the battle of the Department of Mysteries.

text: Health Issues With Tattooing (Marcus Kuhn) By Petri Aspvik Petri Aspvik: What type of physical problem have you encountered do to tattooing? Marcus Kuhn: After 20 years I have pain in my number 11 acupuncture point just southeast of my right scapula as a result of the long swoop of lining and the repetitive pulse of the mag work. After four hours my shoulder becomes congested and starts to fill with fluid. like a nose when you are congested with the flu. The body is responding to the inflammation of the tissue by sending fluid to the area. At night my shoulder sometimes pulses with pain... The fluid takes three hours or more to drain. I have also lost a register of my hearing from the frequency of the ultrasonics and the running machines... Have you had to see a doctor, chiropractor, masseuse therapist, acupunctures or anything similar because problems or because you want to avoid them? I see an acupuncturist and a masseuse who does deep tissue work and cupping. I also visit a chiropractor. Have you modified your work station because you have encountered physical problems or wish to avoid them? My chair is higher to reduce lower back strain. More light to reduce strain on eyes. Thinner foot pedal to reduce imbalance in pelvis caused by resting on left foot all day. How did you first notice the imbalance and did you have to treat it in some way? It has become apparent over the years a scan of my back by my chiropractor and hip pain alerted me to the cause of the pain being a shift in my pelvis causing sciatic pressure. Do you follow a work out regime to keep in shape and healthy? I work out three times a week to stay as strong as possible. Yoga ashtanga and hathfa and some kundalini. Also swimming laps and weight training and a few times a week go for a run. I also surf and take long walks often walking three four miles a day when traveling. Cardio makes me clearer and better focused and positive so my work is better. Have you had to change your eating habits in any way because of tattooing? I eat very carefully because it is easy to gain weight as a tattooer. After many years tattooing most people start to deteriorate. I try to not eat large meals late at night and then go to sleep. Better to eat three four small meals with the last early in the evening. Do you snack between clients or during longer session? If you do, what do you eat/drink? I eat proteins like nuts and dried fruits and veggies rice or fruit and lots of water. What about spiritual/psychological health? How do you maintain that? I am a practicing nichiren di shonin Buddhist and I have a very rich spiritual life which I consider the core of my artistic ability. I read a lot about many paths and how spirituality enriches me and my artistic life. I practice these principles ritualistically with as much discipline as I can. The key to good work is a balanced life (Marcus Kuhn is featured in Tattoo Artist Magazine #22) Related TAM Blog Posts: Marcus Kuhn: The Gypsy Gentleman, Episode I (VIDEO) Marcus Kuhn: The Gypsy Gentleman, Episode II (VIDEO)

Apple is reportedly looking to hire an engineer with in-depth knowledge of China Mobile's network – a move which suggests the two firms are getting close to inking a historic deal.
The Chinese company is by far the largest mobile operator in the world, but does not yet allow its customers to walk away with a iPhone when they sign a contract. Analysts have said that Apple needs to forge an agreement that will change this situation, or risk watching its global growth slump.
Bloomberg spotted a job advert on the fruity firm's Chinese-language site, which since the Bloomberg report appears to have been filled or removed. It said Apple was looking for a Beijing-based manager to "support and drive the carrier approval of mobile phones".
The successful applicant will carry out technology trials, troubleshoot faults in the network and manage technical issues for all carriers in the region.
Any aspiring Apple engineer should also have experience with TD-SCDMA, a 3G communications standard which was developed by China Mobile and is not used by any other carrier.
The Chinese mobe operator is the largest in the world, boasting about 750 million customers. Perhaps surprisingly, Vodafone is the second biggest global mobile operator, with just under 440 million customers.
"China Mobile and Apple have been in talks on cooperation, and there is no information that can be disclosed," China Mobile's press office said.
An Apple spokeswoman in China did not reply to repeated requests for comment by Bloomberg. ®
