Should have been non reflective 'glass'
By RussP
from Macclesfield UK
Great image well framed.Colour range suited the room décor.Reflective 'glass' protection a problem, should have non-reflective as an option.Size options too limited really wanted image to be half again larger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WATERLOO, Iowa Police arrested three people for allegedly distributing marijuana, ecstasy and crack cocaine.
Officers with the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force used a search warrant to get inside 1718 Cornwall Avenue in Waterloo. That's where authorities seized several grams of each drug and a .45 caliber handgun. The drugs moved from Detroit, Michigan, to Waterloo, Iowa, authorities said.
Police arrested Luke Behnke, 42, of East Dubuque Illinois, Charles Newell, 35, of Redford Michigan, and Andrea Gakovic, 18, of Waterloo Iowa.
Each person is facing several drug related charges, including distributing drugs. All three suspects are being held in the Black Hawk County Jail on bonds that exceed $200,000.

Meet The Federal Reserve's First Female Chairwoman Janet Yellen
- By Stefan Cheplick+ (@scheplick) editor @stocktwits |
- October 9th, 2013
President Obama nominated Janet Yellen to lead the Fed after Ben Bernanke steps down. Yellen will be the first woman to ever run the Federal Reserve and the second woman ever to lead a central bank. She would have been the first but Russia nominated Elvira Nabiullina to head its central bank in June. Nice move, Putin. On StockTwits we saw several great shares about Yellen and the Fed. Here they are:
1.) Kevin Carmichael writes this piece for the @globeandmail on why Yellen is the right choice:
2.) In this article from the WSJ, 5 things you need to know about Janet Yellen are listed:
3.) The Washington Post says Yellen "called the housing bust":
4.) Yellen politics are setting in motion right now:
5.) Is Yellen inheriting the Fed at the worst time possible:
6.) Here is what Yellen used to think of deflation, a video from several years ago:
7.) Some are saying that Yellen might not be the best choice from a communication standpoint:
8.) Is Janet Yellen now the most powerful woman in the U.S.? Perhaps the world?:
9.) This post, shared by @MercenaryJack on what to expect from a liberal central banker:

Deluded Diva
The Olympics and all this hype about all things British is mildly amusing to me.
I visited England years ago and found the country a bit pretentious and stuffy. Now I find that I was all wrong about England which can be quite jolly after all.
Have you heard about the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain? In order to join, you simply have to be 'not terribly good' at something — and preferably downright awful at everything.
The Club received international exposure with the publication of "A Book Of Heroic Failures," written by Stephen Pile, co-founder of the club. His book was a celebration of human inadequacy in all its forms. Ah, a man after my own heart!
In his very funny book, Pile gathered the cream — or, rather, the glorious dregs — of the best stories of abominable failure. For example, there is the story of the Most Unsuccessful Tourist, who got off the plane during a refueling stop and spent three days in New York thinking he was in Rome.
The most Unsuccessful Hijacking episode was in 1976 when an armed passenger drew his gun and took the flight attendant hostage. "Take me to Detroit,' he demanded.
'We're already going to Detroit,' she replied. 'Oh ... good,' he said, and sat down again.
The narrative exposes stories of breathtaking human incompetence (which Pile insists separates us from the animal kingdom), but it was so popular it caused Pile to be banned from his own club.
The book contained an application form for membership in the Club. The result was predictable and tragic: membership blossomed. Overnight, it rose to the point that the club was — for want of another term — a roaring success. Under the terms of its constitution they had no option but to close down immediately.
I guess the world is full of people who can only aspire to the mediocre, yet, unintentionally become the very best they can be at being awful. You've got to love it!
I've decided to form a chapter in my community. In order to quality for membership, you need only provide evidence of some embarrassing failure. I'm qualifying with a calendar I produced for the Federal Land Bank of New Orleans which contained the month of "Febuary." I thought my career was over. Low and behold, it's become a collector's item among the farm community. Go figure.
Let me know if you'd like an application. Dues are a little steep — $2000 a year, but may be paid with monopoly money.

App takes sweat out of roadkill watch
Around 1 million animals are killed by cars each day in the US, making it difficult to keep track. A new app could help. Daniel Olson, a wildlife biologist at Utah State University, recruited around 50 state employees to test the app. For one year, the contractors conducted twice-weekly patrols over 1700 miles. They recorded nearly 7000 animals. The app reduced the normal 10 per cent data-entry error rate to virtually zero (PLoS One, doi.org/s5c), while location errors dropped by 99 per cent. It also saved around 150 hours of work.
"We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet" The CIA issued this humorous tweet to announce that it had joined Twitter last week. Not everyone was amused. Later that day, The New York Review of Books began a series of tweets detailing the agency's controversial interrogation techniques
Behind that chatbot Turing 'success'
So did he or didn't he? This week we were told that a chatbot – Eugene Goostman – had passed Alan Turing's test by fooling more than 30 per cent of human judges at the Royal Society in London into thinking it was human. But it is not as clear-cut as it seems. For instance, the same bot hit 29 per cent two years ago. And as early as 1991, a different chatbot hit the 50 per cent mark. Also, Eugene is said to be a 13-year-old, non-native, English speaker – a way of making the task easier.
Is anyone bigger than Jesus and Hitler?
Step aside Jesus, Hitler and Aristotle. Turns out Carl Linnaeus, the inventor of the scientific naming scheme for plants and animals, is the most influential person in history. Young-Ho Eom of the University of Toulouse, France, used the Google PageRank algorithm, which scores websites according to their influence, to create a list of the most important people based on links within Wikipedia articles across 24 languages. An alternative algorithm named Adolf Hitler, Michael Jackson and Madonna as the top three.

Project: Neil MacCormick: Philosophy, Law and Politics
View the Neil MacCormick digital archive website.
Funding Source: Leverhulme Research Fellowship for 2013-2014
For more than thirty five years, Professor Sir Neil MacCormick (1941-2009) was Regius Professor of Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations at the University of Edinburgh. He was also a leading figure in the Scottish National Party, including serving as a Member of the European Parliament. This project explores the relationship between MacCormick's intellectual life as a legal philosopher of world-renown and his political life within both Scottish and European politics. Drawing, for the first time, on MacCormick's private and Parliamentary papers, this project will examine the development of MacCormick's philosophy of law alongside his political involvement. The project will culminate in the publication of a book, currently under contract with Stanford University Press, in their Jurists: Profiles in Legal Theory series.
Project: Creative Legal Skills Workshops
1 September 2012 to 30 August 2013
Amount: £19,954.61
Funding Source: Westfield Fund for Enhancing the Student Experience
Project outline: The project aims to develop a series of workshops that will use methods and resources from the visual and dramatic arts to teach legal skills. Two pilot workshops have already been held, both on 'How to Read a Case' (February 2013). Project members: the project is led by Dr Del Mar, who will work closely with Ms Rogalska, a visual artist and an educator at the Tate Gallery, and Ms Jacqueline Defferary, an experienced theatre and television actress and drama teacher.

Thank you, Senators Warner and Frist
Activists for Aliens Hail Vote in Senate
Local immigration advocates say the weeks of marching, rallying, lobbying and boycotting paid off Thursday when the Senate passed a bill that would extend citizenship to millions of illegal aliens.
"A lot of the people who marched were undocumented immigrants, but there were a lot of people who weren't, [including] legal citizens of different cultures, not just Latinos," says Prince George's County Council member Will Campos, a Democrat. "I think [the Senate] looked at that and realized that something needs to be done."
Jaime Contreras, president of the National Capital Immigrant Coalition (NCIC), agrees: "Before we had these rallies ... we were just talking about how to stop [the House's enforcement bill]. Now we think we actually have a chance of getting a good bill out of Congress."
No further comment required. Except: When's the next opportunity to vote against any of these nitwit senators.

Can someone please wake me up; I'm having a moderate's nightmare. I'm actually upset with Chuck Hagel, Susan Collins, John Warner, Evan Byah and other middle of the road Senators from both sides of the aisle; Senators who I usually admire for their thoughtful non reactionary responses. On this issue I am forced to be in agreement with George Allen, Saxby Chambliss, Rick Santorium and Jeff Sessions.
What next, snow in June, President Bush forming a cohesive sentence on his own, Hillary Clinton becoming president; Please SOMEONE WAKE ME NOW. I don't want to stay in this nightmare where extremist rule.
I know, I know: Cats and dogs living together...etc.
It just goes to show we extremists can demonstrate good sense on rare occasions.

VENICE: French director Olivier Assayas says with his new film "Apres mai" ("Something in the Air"), he wanted to pay tribute to the freedom of the politically engaged 1970s of his youth.
The movie features a lot of smoking, a lot of hair and a lot of great music. It follows a group of French high school activists as they enter adulthood and offers a heady mix of tentative young love and leftist political passion.
The "May" of the film's title is a reference to May 1968 – a landmark moment in French history when national strikes and violent protests forced President Charles de Gaulle to temporarily flee the country and nearly brought down his government.
The protagonists belong to "a generation that is discovering the world after it was rocked by 1968," Assayas said in an interview in Venice, where the movie is one of 18 vying for the Golden Lion at the world's oldest film festival.
"Nothing is stable anymore," the 57-year-old said, "and there is this idea that everything can be transformed, that the revolution is tomorrow."
In contrast to that "extraordinary time," he added, today "what we have lost is the faith in the possibility of transforming the future in a positive way. There was a sort of faith in the future, in the possibility of transforming society."
Assayas' last work, "Carlos," was an award-winning television drama-cum-film about the infamous 1970s militant and killer Carlos the Jackal.
The portrayal of the radical engagement of the film's young protagonists has its comic moments – such as an intense discussion on the merits of China's Cultural Revolution on a sunny drive through lush Italian countryside.
The constant talk about the workers' struggle also clashes with the bourgeois surroundings of the distinctly non-working class young militants.
At one point the hero "Gilles" (19-year-old Clement Metayer) joins up with a group of itinerant filmmakers, who are showing earnest films about Laotian peasants in a bid to stir up revolution among small-town Italians.
Assayas found his actors with open casting and almost none of them are professionals. "They were chosen not so much as actors but as individuals," he said, adding that "each one transformed the character in his or her image."
Himself a student, Metayer said he could identify with the idealism of the 1970s. "We talk a lot about the 1970s today. It is a reference point. Everyone now longs for that freedom to create, to move, to change," he said. "Everything was possible, or at least people thought everything was, which is not at all the case today."
The ginger-haired Hugo Conzelmann, also 19, who plays the more-more militant "Jean-Pierre," said the film showed "what radical engagement at the time meant, without the usual cliches ... Jean-Pierre has fixed convictions and lives them to the full."
Nineteen-year-old India Salvor Menuez, a New Yorker, plays the part of "Leslie," a U.S. diplomat's daughter who studies sacred dance.
"There's a lot of ideas still true to myself as a youth today and I think although the context is different in many ways, the people are the same in many ways," she said. "So I didn't feel too uncomfortable to shift into this idea of another period because time is so relative anyway."
"Apres mai" is scheduled for general release in November.

In 1834 William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77), a British scientist, began experimenting with the well-known tendency of silver nitrate to blacken when exposed to light, and on January 31st 1839 he read his paper "Account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing" to the Royal Society in London in which he acknowledged the earlier experiments of Sir Humphry Davy (1778-1829) and Tom Wedgwood and explained the processes he had been developing since he had succeeded with his first image in 1835. Talbot's patent of 1841 on what he called the "Calotype" explained the process of exposing a semi-transparent paper soaked in silver nitrate to the light, then developing the invisible latent image and fixing it by means of chemical …

The eagle is used in heraldry as a charge, as a supporter, and as a crest. Parts of the eagle's body such as its head, wings or leg are also used as a charge or crest.
The eagle symbolized strength, courage, farsightedness and immortality. It is considered to be the king of the air and the messenger of the highest Gods. Mythologically, it is connected by the Greeks with the God Zeus, by the Romans with Jupiter, by the Germanic tribes with Odin and by Americans with God.
Eagles are often (outside of Italian heraldry) drawn with the beak, tongue and talons in a different colour to the rest of the body. In that case they are blazoned "langued and armed colour."
An eagle can appear either single or double-headed. On at least one occasion a three-headed eagle is seen.
Iranian Empires (Persia) are among the first who used eagle as a standard. To the pagans, the eagle was an emblem of Jupiter, the god of the sky. The eagle and lion of Inishowen were used as Celtic drudic holy symbols. In 102 B.C. the Roman Consul Gaius Marius decreed that the eagle would be the symbol of the Senate and People of Rome. It is said that when the Second Temple of Jerusalem was being expanded and renovated in 20 B.C., Herod the Great offended the people by mounting a Roman golden eagle over the gate. When Herod died some years later, his opponents tore down the eagle. It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad's first standard or flag in 7th century A.D. was a plain flag with no insignia on it to contradict the national standard of the opposing pagan Quraish tribe, Al-Uqaab, that had a black eagle on white background, the sacred Eagle that carried pagan prayers from Earth to the Sky.
Central Asian Turkish Shamans carried a wooden stick pole with seven or nine horizontal sticks forming stairs to an Eagle put on the top of the stick during their rituals. The eagle was regarded, for example, as a holy bird, a protective spirit, and the guardian of heaven. It was also a symbol of potency and fertility. Eagles on tombstones reflected the Shamanistic belief that the souls of the dead rose up to Heaven in the form of birds or were accompanied and protected by the eagle while traveling in the underworld and the sky. Eagle also was believed to be a carrier of prayers to the sky. The Altaic figures carved into rocks suggest that the eagle also was a sign of grandeur and magnificence among the Turks.
The Turkish shamanistic religious heritage of Asian roots survived to some extent after their acceptance of Islam and migration westwards. The metaphorical meaning of the name of Tougrul Beig (993-1063 A.D.) who founded the Seljuk State as its foremost commander was "Eagle". The spirit of the Türkmen is accepted as 'horse' in the fifth and as "eagle" in the third period.
In mediæval and modern heraldry eagles are often said to indicate that the armiger (person bearing the arms) was courageous, a man of action and judicious. Where an eagle's wings were spread ("displayed") it was said to indicate the bearer's rôle as a protector. When mythological beasts are used, such as a griffin (part eagle, part lion) they indicate that the bearer of the arms possessed a combination of those animals' qualities.
At the base of Ab-ú's statue, found in the Old Sumerian shrine of Eshnunna (Tell Asmar), his symbol of a lion-headed eagle, with outstretched wings and talons, is shown as diving down upon his prey, arranged mirror-symmetrically. The lion-headed eagle was also known as the Ningirsu (storm-bird) in the Sumerian city of Lagash and said to have appeared as one or two lion-head eagles on recently excavated historical artifacts. The two-headed eagle later was an emblem of twin gods depicting power and omniscience. It appeared on monuments of the first Hittite Empire in central Anatolia and was an attribute of Nergal. Another very archaic Mesopotamian symbol that survived in Phoenician culture was the Gryphon, a mythical beast with the lower body of a lion and upper body of an eagle.
"And the pains of childbirth drove Mary to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried in her anguish: 'Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!' But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the palm-tree: 'Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee. And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'. At length she brought the (baby Jesus) to her people, carrying him in her arms. They said: 'O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!' (19:23-27) (Moses) said (to the Pharaoh): 'He is the god of the East and the West, and all between; if you only had sense'(28:28) Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West (70:40) (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (thy) Disposer of Affairs (73:9)".
Seljuk Turks, led by AlpArslan whose name meant "a valiant lion" and who was the nephew of Tougrul Beg, captured Jerusalem from the Egyptians in 1071, the same year as they entered Anatolia through Manzikert, introducing to the localities the bicephalous eagle standard of Seljuks of Rum (Roma) which transcended to generations from subsequent interface of nations through the crusades.
Another very popular eagle, used by Arab states today and historically, is the Saladin Golden Eagle. Used by Saladin in the 12th century, it is also used in the coats of arms of several Arab countries today, such as Egypt and Iraq.
According to Carl-Alexander von Volborth the first instance of the use of an eagle as an heraldic charge is the Great Seal of the Margrave Leopold IV of Austria in 1136. On the seal his figure carries a shield charged with an eagle. Also from about this time is a coin, minted in Maastricht (the Netherlands), dating from between 1172 and 1190 after contacts with the East via the crusades. It shows a single-headed eagle, see here
From the reign of Frederick Barbarossa in 1155 the eagle became a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire in its one-headed state. The eagle was clearly derived from the Roman eagle and continues to be important in the heraldry of those areas once within the Holy Roman Empire. Within Germany the placement of one's arms in front of an eagle was indicative of princely rank under the Holy Roman Empire. The first mention of a double-headed eagle in the West dates from 1250 in a roll of arms of Matthew Paris for Emperor Frederick II.
Charlemagne was a Frankish ruler and the first Holy Roman Emperor from AD 800 - 814, well before the introduction of heraldry. In later periods, a coat of arms attributed to Charlemagne shows half of the body of a single-head black eagle as the symbol of the German emperors next to a fleur-de-lis as the symbol of the kings of France on an impaled shield.
The double-headed eagle became the symbol of the Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos. Palaiologos recaptured Constantinople from the Crusaders in 1261 and adopted the double-headed eagle as his symbol of the dynasty's interests in both Asia and Europe. It represented looking towards the East (Asia Minor, traditional power center of the Byzantine-government in exile after the IVth Crusade) and the West (newly reconquered land in Europe) centered on Constantinople. The Byzantine double-headed eagle has been seen in late 13th century, certainly pre-dating the development of the same in western heraldry.
In Russia it was Ivan III of Russia who first assumed the two-headed eagle, when, in 1472, he married Sophia, daughter of Thomas Palæologus, and niece of Constantine XI, the last Emperor of Byzantium. The two heads symbolised the Eastern or Byzantine Empire and the Western or Roman Empire.
The Empire of Trebizond (1204-1461), one of the states created after the capture of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade, used the emblem of the normal (single headed) eagle. The black eagle on yellow background is still used today in Greece by descendants of Pontian greeks.
Napoleon used an eagle, again derived from an Ancient Roman eagle, as did his nephew Napoleon III. An eagle remains in the arms of the House of Bonaparte.
Since 20 June 1782, the United States has used an American Bald Eagle, wings displayed, on its Great Seal.
The Mexican coat of arms and the Mexican flag bear an "eagle perched upon a nopal, devouring a serpent".
The flag of Egypt illustrates an eagle as its official coat of arms.
Many modern states and individuals continue to use the eagle in their arms. These include:
In Spain the eagle, though it was first used by the Catholic monarchs as a symbol of Saint John the Evangelist, came to be associated with the regime of Francisco Franco and since his death has been removed from official usage.
The popular, informal term spread eagle is derived from a heraldic depiction of an eagle "displayed," with both wings, the body and the legs displayed, which has been used as the emblem of a number of states and monarchs.

Occitan (IPA BrE: /ˈɒksɪtn/; AmE: /ˈɑksəˌtɑn/), known also as Lenga d'òc or Langue d'oc (native name: occitan [utsiˈta], lenga d'òc [ˈleŋgɔˈðɔ(k)]; native nickname: la lenga nòstra [laˈleŋgɔˈnɔstrɔ] i.e. "our [own] language") is a Romance language spoken in Occitania, that is, Southern France, the Occitan Valleys of Italy, Monaco and in the Aran Valley of Spain. It is also spoken in the linguistic enclave of Guardia Piemontese (Calabria, Italy). It is a co-official language in Catalonia, Spain (as Aranese). Modern Occitan is the closest relative of Catalan. The languages, as spoken in early medieval times, might be considered variant forms of the same language.
The area where Occitan was historically dominant is home to some 14 million inhabitants. It may be spoken as a first language by as many as two million people in France, Italy, Spain and Monaco Some researchers state that up to seven million people in France understand the language. However, these two estimates should be considered very optimistic upper bounds; the actual figures are almost certainly substantially lower. More widely accepted wisdom suggests that as few as half a million proficient speakers remain in France, for example. Written Occitan is generally understandable by readers who have some knowledge of French, Italian and Spanish, but especially of Catalan.
English-speakers often use the term Provençal (an older French word derived from the name of the region Provence) to refer to Occitan.
The name Occitan comes from lenga d'òc (i.e. òc language), which comes from òc, the Occitan word for yes. The Italian medieval poet Dante was the first to have recorded the term lingua d'oc. In his De vulgari eloquentia he wrote in Latin: "nam alii oc, alii si, alii vero dicunt oil" ("some say òc, others say sì, others say oïl"), thereby highlighting three major Romance literary languages which were well known in Italy, based on each language's word for "yes", the òc language (Occitan), the oïl language (French), and the sì language (Italian). This was not, of course, the only defining character of each group.
The word òc came from Vulgar Latin hoc ("this"), while oïl originated from Latin hoc illud ("this [is] it"). Other Romance languages derive their word for yes from the Latin sic, "thus [it is], [it was done], etc.", such as Spanish sí, Western Lombard sé, Italian sì, Catalan sí, or Portuguese sim.
Nowadays, strictly, the terms Provençal and Lemosin are used to refer to specific varieties within Occitania, whereas Occitan is used for the language as a whole. However, many non-specialists continue to refer to the language as Provençal, causing some confusion.
Occitan was the vehicle for the influential poetry of the medieval troubadours. With the gradual imposition of French royal power over its territory, Occitan declined in status from the 14th century on. By the Edict of Villers-Cotterets (1539) it was decreed that the langue d'oil (Northern French) should be used for all French administration. Occitan's greatest decline was during the French Revolution, during which diversity of language was considered a threat. The literary renaissance of late 19th century (which included a Nobel Prize for Frédéric Mistral) was attenuated by the First World War, where Occitan speakers spent extended periods of time alongside French-speaking comrades.
Because Occitan is the most central of the Romance languages, external influences could have impeded its origin and development, making it only a tributary of standard Latin. However, many factors favoured its development as a language of its own.
Though it was still an everyday language for most of the rural population of the South well into the 20th century, it has been all but replaced by the imposition of French. According to the 1999 census, there are 610,000 native speakers (almost all of whom are also native French speakers) and perhaps another million persons with some exposure to the language. Following the pattern of languages in decline, most of this remainder is to be found among the eldest populations. Occitan activists (called Occitanists) have attempted, particularly with the advent of Occitan-language preschools (the Calandretas), to reintroduce the language to the young. Nonetheless, the number of proficient speakers of Occitan appears to be dropping precipitously. A tourist in the cities in southern France is unlikely to hear a single Occitan word spoken on the street (or for that matter, in a home), and will likely only find the occasional vestige, such as street signs (and of those, most will have French equivalents more prominently displayed), to remind them of the traditional language of the area. Occitans, as a result of more than 200 years of conditioned suppression and humiliation (see Vergonha), seldom speak their own language in the presence of foreigners, whether they're from abroad or from outside Occitania (in this case, often merely and abusively referred to as Parisiens or Nordistes, which means northerners). Occitan is still spoken by many elderly people in rural areas, but they generally switch to French when dealing with outsiders.
There are two main linguistic norms currently used for Occitan, one (known as classical) which is based on that of Mediaeval Occitan, and one (sometimes known as Mistralian, due to its use by Frederic Mistral) which is based on modern French orthography. Sometimes, there is some conflict between some users of each system.
There are also two other norms but they have a lesser audience. The Escòla dau Pò norm (or Escolo dóu Po norm) is a simplified version of the Mistralian norm and is only used in the Occitan Valleys (Italy), besides the classical norm. The Bonnaudian norm (or écriture auvergnate unifiée, EAU) was created by Pierre Bonnaud and is used only in the Auvergnat dialect, besides the classical norm.

Many Occitan linguists and writers, particularly those involved with the pan-Occitan movement centred on the Institut d'Estudis Occitans, disagree with the view that Occitan is a family of languages and think that Limousin, Auvergnat, Languedocien, Gascon, Provençal and Alpine Provençal are dialects of a single language. Though there are some noticeable differences between these varieties, there is a very high degree of mutual intelligibility between them ; they also share a common literary history, and in academic and literary circles, have been identified as a collective linguistic entity—the langue d'oc—for centuries.
Some Provençal authors continue to support the view that Provençal is a separate language. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Provençal authors and associations think that Provençal is a part of Occitan.
This debate about the status of Provençal should not be confused with the debate concerning the spelling of Provençal.
For example, the classical (pan-Occitan) spelling writes Polonha where the Mistralian spelling system has Poulougno, for [puˈluɲo], 'Poland'.
The question of Gascon is a little similar. Gascon presents a number of significant differences from the rest of the language; but despite these differences, Gascon and other Occitan dialects share a very important common lexical and grammatical material, so authors such as Pierre Bec argue that they could never be considered as different as, for example, Spanish and Italian. In addition, the fact that Gascon is included within Occitan despite its particular differences, can be also justified because there is a common elaboration (Ausbau) process between Gascon and the rest of Occitan. The vast majority of the Gascon cultural movement considers itself as a part of the Occitan cultural movement. And the official status of Val d'Aran (Catalonia, Spain), adopted in 1990, says that Aranese is a part of Gascon and Occitan. A grammar of Aranese by Aitor Carrera, published in 2007 in Lleida, presents the same view.
The exclusion of Catalan from the Occitan sphere, although Catalan is a language closely related to Occitan, is justified because there has been a conscience of it being different from Occitan since the later Middle Ages and the elaboration (Ausbau) processes of Catalan and Occitan (including Gascon) have been quite distinct since the 20th century. Nevertheless, some other scholars point that the process which lead to the affirmation of Catalan as a distinct language from Occitan was started during the period when the pressure to include Catalan-speaking areas to a mainstream Spanish culture was at its most.

Some have claimed around 450,000 words exist in the Occitan language, a number comparable to English (The Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged with 1993 addenda reaches 470,000 words, as does the Oxford English Dictionary, Second edition.) The Merriam-Webster Web site estimates that the number is somewhere between 250,000 and 1 million words.
The magazine Géo (2004, p. 79) claims that American English literature can be more easily translated into Occitan than French, excluding modern technological terms that both languages have integrated.
A comparison of the lexical content can find more subtle differences between the languages. For example, Occitan has 128 synonyms related to cultivated land, 62 for wetlands, and 75 for sunshine (Géo). The language went through an eclipse during the Industrial Revolution, as the vocabulary of the countryside became less important. At the same time, it was disparaged as a patois. Nevertheless, Occitan has also incorporated new words into its lexicon to describe the modern world. The Occitan word for web is oèb, for example.
The combined Occitano-Romance area is 259,000 km² and represents 23 million speakers. However, the regions are not equal in terms of language speakers. According to Bec 1969 (pp.120–121), in France, no more than a quarter of the population in counted regions speak Occitan well, though around half can understand it; it is thought that the number of Occitan users has decreased dramatically since then. By contrast, in Catalonia, nearly three quarters of the population speak Catalan and 95% understand it.
One of the most notable passages of Occitan in Western literature occurs in the 26th canto of Dante's Purgatorio in which the troubadour Arnaut Daniel responds to the narrator:
The above strophe translates to:
Another notable Occitan quotation, this time from Arnaut Daniel's own 10th Canto:
French writer Victor Hugo's classic Les Misérables also contains some Occitan. In Part One, First Book, Chapter IV, "Les œuvres semblables aux paroles", one can read about Monseigneur Bienvenu:
The Spanish playwright Lope de Rueda included a Gascon servant for comical effect in one of his short pieces, La generosa paliza.
John Barnes's Thousand Cultures science fiction series (A Million Open Doors, 1992; Earth Made of Glass, 1998; The Merchants of Souls, 2001; and The Armies of Memory, 2006), features Occitan. So does the 2005 best-selling novel Labyrinth by English author Kate Mosse. It is set in Carcassonne, where she owns a house and spends half of the year.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON BUYING & SELLING REAL ESTATE---- Real Estate can be quite overwhelming if you don't have proper guidance. There are many facets to cover- legal, financial and even emotional. Having a qualified agent represent you is crucial in facilitating the sale and protecting your best interests.
MY REAL ESTATE CAREER---- I became a Realtor in 1996. In my first year in the business I was named "Rookie of the Year". I have been a member of the multi-million dollar club since 1997. Through the years I have been a member of the President's Diamond Society, President's Circle, and a member of the top 50 Hall of Fame. I attribute my success to honesty, knowledge of the market, pleasant personality and willingness to go that extra mile.

WHAT MAKES ME A SUPERIOR AGENT? I am probably one of the most honest and ethical agents you will meet. While working with buyers, my job is to advise you not only on the positive features of the home, but also some of the drawbacks other buyers down the road would have an issue with. I not only look at whether that home suits your needs, but also how it will sell as a resale. For my Sellers I believe in listing your home fairly, protecting your equity, while still maintaining honesty in assessing what range your home will sell. The key to my success with both buyers and sellers is to ALWAYS put your best interests first.
MY BACKGROUND Originally from Cape Town, South Africa Moved to Atlanta when I was 6 Graduated from North Springs High School Graduated from the University of Georgia: majored in Accounting Started an Internet company upon graduating Being more of a "people person", decided to go into Real Estate

Trust /trustee bankruptcy
Jurisdiction / State: California
I am the successor trustee of a living trust that is to become irrevocable within the next month. When the trust becomes irrevocable I will become trustee over my mother and my parents family trust. I am unmarried and have no issue. I may predecease my mother and it has been suggested that I have a living trust set up so that should I predecease my Mother that my share of the inheritance go to my trust upon my mothers death and in that way I could delegate where and to whom my share would go.
I may have to go bankrupt within the next year. (personal bankruptcy)
The family trust has a spendthrift clause is in it. I would be listed in the family trust as a beneficiary and my trust listed as the next in line for my share should I predecease my mother. There Are other beneficiaries of the trust
My Questions:
Will my having my own living trust that will be listed in the Family trust allow any creditor to attach the family trust.
Will my ability to receive income as the trustee cause any problems with any attachment to the family trust (I will be well under the income limits of the bankruptcy guidelines)
Will having my own living trust valued at under say $300 dollars (because I have to fund the living trust in order for it to be created right?) cause problems in my personal bankruptcy.

You have a very complex question that can only be answered properly with a consultation with a bankruptcy attorney. Typically these questions are answered by state law and whether there is a spendthrift clause enforceable under state law. As you are a debtor who is also a trustee of a trust, 11 U.S.C. § 541(a) may apply. In short, the bankruptcy court bankruptcy estate trustee's powers granted under the trust instrument are included. This doesn't mean that the assets are subject to the bankruptcy. This is a complex question and will involve proper financial planning if declaring bankruptcy may be an option in the near future.Forum posts are not legal advice, are for educational purposes only & are not substitutes for proper consultation with legal counsel.

Debora Rinehart was sure she'd hear a pack of lies about parent involvement when she showed up to last night's Joaquin Miller/Montera principal selection meeting.
But she left so optimistic about the interview process — which includes a panel of parents from each school who roughly reflect its demographics — she was inspired to write a letter to the Tribune. ("I could be wrong," she stipulated to me over the phone.)
I'm very interested in leadership issues as well as parent involvement. So, being the nosy reporter I am, I'm angling to sit in on the upcoming audition at one of the schools. We'll see how that goes over.
If you attended last night's meeting — or another one elsewhere in the district — please share your experiences and your hopes for a new principal.
Here is Debora's letter, which will probably appear in the paper in the near future:
Transparency in Principal Section
We got the letter in the mail during the Fourth of July holiday. Our principal at Joaquin Miller School had retired effective July 1, 2007. In the ensuing discussions with friends, neighbors and colleagues, it was discovered that the principal and the Administrative Assistant of Montera Middle had also retired at the end of the school year.
We all know that the State runs nearly every aspect of the Oakland Unified School District. There was to be a meeting, first at Joaquin Miller School, then changed to Montera Middle School to accommodate more parents. We walked in jaded, "knowing" the district was going to assign the "right" principal to our school – and to Montera, for that matter.
I was wrong. What we found is that there will be representation from the teachers and the parents in the process. The process will be open – dare I say, transparent. The parents will be representative of the schools, African American, Asian, Hispanic and White, parents and teachers of GATE kids, Special Education kids and the students who show up every day and do their best work and those who are not working up to their potential. In the end, we will choose a principal who will lead our school, and our students toward success and atmosphere of learning and acceptance. Last night we walked out of the Principal Selection Meeting with renewed hope for transparency, for a great future leader of our school and for a school district that's on the right track.
Debora Rinehart

Indiana Can't Stop Cardinal Comeback
March 28, 2012
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana men's tennis (14-5, 2-1 Big Ten, No. 23) lost a heartbreaker to No. 45 Louisville, four to three. Down 3-2, the Cardinals were able to win the final two matches in singles action to take the upset. The Hoosiers won the doubles point and got singles wins from Isade Juneau and Jeremy Langer at one and three.
In doubles, Juneau and Langer scored an upset, knocking off No. 64 Andrew Carter and Albert Wagner at one doubles. The Hoosier duo, ranked No. 66, knocked off the higher ranked Louisville team, 6-6. IU closed out the doubles point with an 8-4 win from Will Kendall and Stephen Vogl at number three.
In singles, Louisville got right back in it, taking first sets at two, three, four and five, and winning the first two matches to finish at four and five to take a 2-1 lead. Indiana retaliated as Juneau won 6-4, 6-3 over Carter at number one, and Langer knocked off Wagner at three (3-6, 6-1, 6-2). With IU up 3-2, Josh MacTaggart and Sebastian Stiefelmeyer were locked in a third set at number two, and Kendall and Luis Elizondo were a third set of their own at six.
MacTaggart won the tenth game of the set to tie the third at 5-5, but Stiefelmeyer was able to battle off a break point to win the next game and then take the final game as well to win by a final score of 6-4, 1-6, 7-5. With the score tied, the match at six was down to two match points for UofL, and Elizondo clinched his 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.
Indiana takes the first road trip of the Big Ten slate this weekend to take on Michigan State and Michigan on Saturday and Sunday. For complete coverage of all things IU men's tennis, stay tuned to IUHoosiers.com.

Major mortgage lenders are under scrutiny from state authorities across the nation over alleged improprieties relating to their foreclosure review processes.
Over the last several weeks, reports surfaced of several mortgage companies' employees who swore in depositions that they signed thousands of foreclosure documents without having read them. In this, they broke state laws and potentially deprived some owners of a chance to save their homes, which, for many, are their main asset and source of wealth.
The banks in question include Chase, Wells Fargo, GMAC and Bank of America, and law enforcement agencies from all states and the District of Columbia claim that these institutions rushed through the foreclosure process and failed to file proper paperwork. Legal experts cited by The Associated Press believe the banks will eventually be compelled to accept an independent monitor to ensure their compliance with foreclosure laws. They may also be subject to penalties and be forced to settle with some of the affected homeowners.
Lisa Madigan, Illinois Attorney General, wrote on The Huffington Post that the foreclosure system as practiced by these banks is "a Kafkaesque process that millions across America navigate as they turn to their lenders in hopes of a lifeline but instead are thrown an anchor."
According to RealtyTrac.com, the number of foreclosures in September was 1.1 percent higher than a year ago. It also increased by more than 2.5 percent since August.

The violin has yet to be documented completely by a single objective test method. Advantages and disadvantages of useful ways to vibrate and measure its acoustical characteristics are described: Inputs via hand bowing, machine bowing, and electromechanical transducers; displays using microphone pickups and appropriate components for loudness curves, harmonic analyses, and swept frequency measurements; also techniques of optical proximity detection and hologram interferometry.

Edward the Elephant Escaped
Beginning Reading Lesson
Ben Gross
Rationale: This lesson will be used to progress in spelling ability and help beginning readers in becoming fluent readers. The goal for this lesson is to learn the correspondence e = /e/ in written and spoken language. The students will practice spelling and reading words using Elkonin boxes and will read a new book to recognize e =/e/ in words with various phonemes.
White board,
writing utensil for it
letters: n,e,e,e,t,j,h,n,b,n,d,c,k,g,l
words on 3x5 index cards : net, jet, hen, bed, bent, deck, leg
1. Introduce the lesson "Today we are going to be learning the /e/ sound." (Write the letter on the board for the students to see.)
2. Next we are going to practice saying the /e/ sound in a silly sentence. Listen as I say the tongue twister first: "Edward the elephant escaped from the exhibit." This time listen for the /e/ sound as I repeat the tongue twister; put a thumbs up when you hear the sound. (Repeat the tongue twister.) Let's practice saying the sentence together now and then stretching it out: "EEEEdward the eeeelephant eeescaped from the eeeexhibit." "Good job, everyone!"
3. Now that we know how to make the /e/ sound, let's practice writing it. I will show you how to write an e and then you will have time to try. Let's all write it five times and then we will begin another activity.
4. We can now recognize the letter e and the /e/ sound; next we are going to use our letter tiles and boxes to practice spelling words. When we say /e/ sound our mouths make a distinct movement. Our mouths movement differently for each sound/letter in a word. Sometimes the sounds are made with two different letters. An example is the word "egg," there are two gg in the spelling, but they only make the /g/. Now we are going to use our boxes and letter tiles to spell the word egg. Now we are going to practice with our boxes and spell these words: net, jet, hen, bed, bent, deck, leg
5. Now we are going to read our story. The story will assistance the students with learning the /e/ in written words. "Elf in The Tent" is a story of a daughter Jan and her father going camping. Little did they know that Elf their cat snuck in the car to go with them. They camped in the bend and Elf got wet and got in the tent. The father finally realized that Elf was there because he was wet. So Jan feeds Elf and everyone is happy.
6. Now I will assess the students learning of the letter e and the /e/ sound. Students will complete and activity sheet with illustrations. The students will cut out the pictures and then glue them onto the corresponding word. When students complete the activity have them turn the paper over and write 2 sentences using 2 of the words from the worksheet. The teacher will be able to grade matching correspondences and if they know how to use a words in a sentence and write it correctly. This assessment will help verify if the students have mastered the letter or if they need more practice.

- Install AFTER having installed CM7. Use Clockwork recovery v18.104.22.168 or later.
- Boots in 604.8MHz but can be overclocked to 844MHz from within Cyanogenmod Settings (or other overclocking utility)
- Do NOT check to set a speed on boot time unless you have tested it a lot made sure it is stable.
- The maximum stable speed varies from device to device. Only why to find out is to test.
- Use regular AHB speeds until you found your stable maximum and then (if you want) try AHB overclocking for an extra 10-15% performance.

Btw, I'm running 844MHz right now so I propably increase the maximum frequency even further later if more tabs than mine goes this high.
