In 2004, Bishop Damaskinos succeeded him as the diocesan bishop.
On June 26, 2008, His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa opened the Seminary of the Holy Metropolis of Ghana to serve the theological education needs of the metropolis.
The Diocese of Ghana was elevated to an archdiocese with the title of Archdiocese of Accra by a Patriarchal decree on October 6, 2009.

You'll even get panoramic views of Austria's nature at the Grossglockner High Alpine Road.
Besides the stunning nature, Austria is also home to majestic architecture and historic structures. Make sure you take pictures of sites like the Schonbrunn Palace, St Stephen's Cathedral, Belvedere, Hohensalzburg Castle, and the Kirche am Steinhof church.

And when you're filled with adventure, fill your stomach next with Austria's heart cuisine. When in Austria, eat wiener schnitzel! It's their national dish, so you should try it if you're not vegetarian or vegan. But if you are, Austria has other treats for you to try like apfelstrudel and apricot knodel, which are apricot dumplings.
When to visit Austria
The most popular time to visit in Austria is usually from May to September when tourists come for city breaks, culture, and festivals. But the best time to visit for cheaper rates is from February to mid-May and late September to mid-December.
Most of Austria also speak English, but you should bring a good German phrasebook or language to help you in your trip, especially when reading menus in restaurants.

Somewhere on the way to gender equality, young women have apparently lost the ability to iron a shirt or roast a chicken. So says a patronizing new study — titled "Male and female roles in the 21st century: breaking gender stereotypes" — by Australian social researcher Mark McCrindle.
What we learn from an exclamation-point-studded press release from McCrindle's company is that when it comes to the tricks of the traditional housewife trade, millennial women fall short. They are much less able than their mothers to bake a birthday cake, hem a skirt or grow a plant from a cutting. (Insert gasp here) On the other hand, McCrindle found that these women are more likely to pay the bills, wash the car, or even change a lightbulb — bless their hearts — presumably, while their male counterparts are cooking dinner, stacking the dishwasher or changing their babies' nappies. The study also found that 61.2 percent of the men surveyed could also work magic with a steam iron. About the testosterone shift, McCrindle tells us in his press release:
"What we are seeing is not so much a decline in 'man skills' but rather a change in family dynamics, reflecting that both parents are likely to have full time jobs and greater demands on their time than ever before."
"Even though skills such as woodworking and mechanics are on the decline, men are picking up new talents such as cooking, ironing and an increased role in bringing up the kids. The advent of "Kitchen TV" in particular seems to have influenced our nation's men, with over half the population saying men can now fire up the oven to bake a cake, or cook for a crowd at a dinner party," McCrindle continued.
Fancy that. As for the Millenial women:
Mark McCrindle said, "Gen Y women are sometimes disparaged as having lost the traditional skills of their mothers, yet the reality is that they are a multiskilled generation. The fact is that they are more likely to text a photo than dust a photo frame, or work with spreadsheets rather than mend bedsheets is testament to their twentieth century roles."
Feeling patronized yet?
What's funny in that not-really-funny-kind-of-way is that, despite its title, the study breathlessly defines these "changing gender roles" in terms of silly gender stereotypes. And in doing so, completely trivializes the point — if not misses it completely. We are at a place in time when truly changing gender roles is more important than ever before. In terms of career options, women's roles have evolved to the point where, just like our male counterparts, we too can work 40 hour weeks that add up to 52. We can be doctors or lawyers, bankers or brokers. We earn more than our share of advanced degrees. And we grow up knowing that, for most of us, work is not a choice, but a necessity.
And yet. While all those doors are open to us, once we walk inside them, we're faced with workplace structures designed by and for men. (You know, the ones with the wives at home with a chicken in the oven.) As we've noted in this space time and again, though we're welcome in the building, we rarely make it upstairs to the boardroom: Sooner or later we slam up against that maternal wall that prevents women with kids from moving forward in their careers for fear that childcare responsibilities might interfere with their performance — and women without kids are also held back because, you know, they might have them. On the other hand, a man with kids gets to be a "family man." As in, all around good guy: reliable and raise-worthy.
Meanwhile, maternity leave? Paternity leave? Available day care? For most families, more pipe dream than reality.
And then comes the second shift where studies show that the household division of labor often reverts back to the days when men earned the bread and the women baked it. So yeah, it's sweet that men can load the dishwasher or change a diaper, but really, who cares? If gender roles are truly going to change, it calls for a much deeper conversation on more substantive issues than chickens and nappies. And in fact, there's one going on now over at Role/Reboot, a new website that challenges members of the "shift generation" to employ the book club model to start talking about how to make change in a meaningful way:
Definitions of womanhood and manhood are breaking down, along with all the expectations and baggage that come with them. And for that, we're thrilled. But we often feel like the country hasn't really caught up – or worse, is again entering a period of woeful feminist backlash – and the realities of our lives aren't well reflected in the media (thanks "The Bachelor" and "Bridalplasty"!) or the policy arena (Oy, where to begin…). Society is still so conflicted about women and men's roles, and often we are too – both personally, and within our relationships. It's a confusing moment, and like our 60s sisters, we want to talk about it.
But back to the McCrindle's study. Despite the fact that it's nonsense, I must confess two points of resonance. One, the only person (including me) who has ever used an iron in our house is my son-in-law. And two, unlike my millennial sisters, I can cook a killer roast chicken. If it matters, I'll be glad to show you how.

An integral part of the Trinidad GRS journey is Carol Cometto's Morning After House — it's officially a place to recover for a couple of days after surgery until you leave Trinidad, but in reality it's a key part of mental and physical wellbeing and establishing and maintaining a culture around this amazing experience.
I'm writing separate blog entries about the people I met at the MAH, but suffice to say that their presence — made possible by the guest house — was absolutely crucial for our positive feelings about GRS in Trinidad.Nestled just below the Trinidad sign, the MAH is a big, sprawling house with approximately 3 apartments with perhaps 6 bedrooms and a variety of common rooms, and it's in these common spaces that the guests tell stories about how they got here, what surgery was like, what pains they're having, and what their situation is like back home. You can imagine that such a gathering is nothing like your average group of hotel guests out on the highway Motel 6, and that's obviously because they're not here simply to get a night's rest, but rather because they're all on a really big journey that takes similar paths through their individual lives to bring them to this point.
The guest house runs on high octane goodwill provided by Carol Cometto, an italian dynamo who has decorated the house to reflect her sensibilities. She zips around town in a little blue jeep with a New York Yankees spare tire cover on the back with a gusto that's palpable, waving to her lifelong neighbors, gesturing a variety of gestures to passersby, and generally racing around town to get her business done. When she's at the MAH, she's watering plants, checking on guests, orienting new guests, saying farewell to departing guests, showing off her yard-sale acquisitions that make her decor jump to life. She's your friend and hostess, and she makes you feel at home.
When we arrived, Mary Jo and I stayed downstairs for 1 or 2 days, then moved upstairs, and this is one of the logistical issues Carol spends her time figuring out — how to keep families and friends together while also shifting people around while the patient is in the hospital for 4 days, then minimizing the fatigue when someone returns from the hospital. I suppose some could see this juggling as a hassle, but we found it to be a pleasant experience that put us into a community of other travelers with similar issues.
I have read accounts of GRS in Trinidad that argue one should save money and avoid the MAH as much as possible, but I feel strongly that this would be a short-sighted approach to your Trinidad visit. Sure, you might save a few hundred dollars, but you would lose incredible benefits of getting to see others pursuing the same course as you. Instead of staying in a hotel on the highway before surgery and moving back to that hotel after your 2 free days at the Morning After House, I think you should spend your entire trip to Trinidad at the MAH.
When you arrive, for example, you're dipping your toes into a stream of other visitors, from those who arrived yesterday and are awaiting surgery to those who have returned from surgery and are preparing to leave. You've got a chance to learn from others, to allay your fears, and then, when you return from the hospital, to be a resource for others who have just arrived. The MAH is also a place for spouses and friends to channel their energy and give voice to their fears and expectations.
Symbolic of this stream, this journey, is a very cool idea Carol encourages — while you're sitting around recovering, you paint a brick taken from the old Trinidad city streets — these bricks are quite thick and have raised "TRINIDAD" lettering on the top. When you've painted your brick with a message, a simple color, a collage, or whatever, Carol shellacs it and places it into a wall-walkway, where everyone who follows in your footsteps can see the previous steps taken. I loved looking at the bricks and wished Carol had implemented the idea sooner. Sure, she's got a map with pins in it and a book of thoughts and a photo album, but this brick walkway is a tangible trace of the steps taken in the Morning After House.
Upon reflection, it seems to me that the Morning After House isn't so much a guest house; it's an engine of knowledge exchange. We might think of the MAH in light of the Japanese concept of ba, or "place" or "sphere" in japanese. Ba is essentially a shared space that serves as a foundation for knowledge creation, one that is often defined by a network of interactions. the concept of ba unifies the physical spaces, virtual spaces, and mental spaces involved in knowledge creation.
The knowledge created and shared at Morning After House? Nothing less than the experience and the culture around GRS. So if, for some reason, you can't stay at MAH, I think you ought to go by and hang out as much as possible — because the MAH has ba in spades.

Hey there, I've been thinking about joining for a long time now (I'm about to be a senior in High School) and I'm wondering why I shouldn't. I read the novel Jarhead, and like Swofford, I think I'm afraid that in civilian life I'll faulter, and I see the Marines as a way to gain access into maturity and manhood. My family's become distant, and I feel like I'm not really close to friends I've had, so the brotherhood aspect is also appealing. I have always had a strong sense of national pride and I think joining would fill me with pride, but I've read a few horror stories on here, so if I enlist (Infantry MOS) what will I really be getting? Are the aspects of the Corps that appeal to me merely hype? Also, I'm sorry if this is redundant. I have read many posts, but I wanted to see if I could get some direct responses, thanks.
Submitted by: Johnny2X4
NINJA_PUNCH's Response:
Hey, no need to apologize, that's what this site exists for. I can understand the concept of wanting maturity and manhood out of the military, after all that's how they advertise it. However, what you're more likely to find are people who joined because they "want to go kill people". A good friend of mine once said "the military is a great place for people who never want to grow up: You always have someone who outranks you to hold your hand and make sure you get everything done." That really is how it is. Every NCO, or Staff NCO will tell you "you're a grown man I'm not going to babysit you." But it won't take long before you'll find yourself wishing that this was actually true. In reality, even something as simple as cleaning your room, or exercising will be micromanaged to death. You have to stretch out in a group, go do exercises in a group, go running in a single-file line, because all of these "grown men" can't be trusted to exercise and stay in shape on their own. You need to have a day set aside where the people who outrank you will breath down your neck as you clean every last speck of dust from your room, because "grown men" can't be trusted to not live in squalor.
Furthermore, most people in the military will turn a blind eye to underage drinking, so they keep having "High School parities" then they turn 21 and they don't have to worry about getting caught so they want to show off how they can drink and not have to hide it, and it just never stops. Pretty soon you have a 30 year old alcoholic who wears his alcoholism like a badge of honor, and everyone younger than him thinks he's just so cool because he's drinks so much!
As far as the Infantry goes, I was attached to an infantry battalion for my deployment, and it's as if these guys never leave boot camp. Their Sgts yelled and screamed over nothing every bit as much as Drill Instructors did, and the "Senior LCpls" were constantly on the search for new and inventive ways of circumventing hazing laws.
In conclusion, yes, the aspects of the marine corps that you find appealing are almost entirely recruiting propaganda. If you really feel the need to join the military out of fear of failing in the civilian world, I would recommend joining the any branch of the reserves or the National Guard, just so you have some kind of job security while you get yourself on your feet in Civilian life.

A few years ago, I interviewed for a position at a so-called "innovation consultancy." At the time, they were collaborating with a mobile phone operator to understand what was driving growth in the telecommunications business. The company had devised several ways to intuit the needs, reactions, and aspirations of their target shoppers. They employed a team of anthropologists. They built full-scale replicas in their rehabbed industrial office to conduct focus groups. They boasted fully equipped video production facilities. I was told that narrative filmmaking was an excellent way to speculate about consumer desires.
As I watched Her, Spike Jonze's latest feature, I kept thinking of my visit to that agency. Set in a Los Angeles of the "slight future," primarily composed of present day Shanghai, the film follows ghostwriter Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and the brilliant women in his life, including the artificially intelligent entity Samantha (Scarlett Johansson). K.K. Barrett's production design conjures both the commercial language of Apple's lifestyle marketing and the familiar Kodachrome-like warmth of yesteryear.

coral reefs, it's the perfect place to really get
away from it all. The two main bays are Aow
Yai , the sunset bay, and Aow Khao Kwai -
( Buffalo bay ).Both bays have long curving
white sandy beaches. If you get bored of the
beach life then there's always the inland
experience. Ko Phayam island has lots of
good mini hikes into the hills, forests and
Koh Phayam , kangaroo shaped small island, 35 Km from Ranong , opposite Burmese St. Matthew's
Island is the main tourist spot in Thailand Ranong province .
Koh Phayam is only 10 km long and 5 km wide with population around 500 people.
Ko Phayam is still surrounded by natural environment. Small roads without cars – just motorcycles
and bicycle for cruising around. Electricity is delivered by solar energy as well as private generators. 3
resorts in the island have
electricity 24 hours – Buffalo Bay Vacation Club, Phayam Cottage
and Blue Sky. Satellite and mobile internet service have set up in many accommodation and
restaurant and mobile phones have almost in every bungalow or resort.
It takes two hours from Ranong to Koh Phayam by boat and 45 minutes by speed boat.
Boat service twice per day all the year. Price – 200 Baht per person. Speedboat service – run in high
season only 5-8 times per day , 350 Baht per person.
Only several resorts and bungalows accommodation open all the year, most low key bungalows
closed, as well as restaurants and shops .
There are many beaches around this island - most accom
odation are in Aow Yai ( Long ) beach
and Aow Khao Kwai or Buffalo Bay beach.
Ao Yai is the largest bay on the west-coast with 3 km long with grey beach. Music parties in high
season and not expensive accommodation (from 150 Baht per night) attract young crowds.
Buffalo Bay is a quieter beach, especially south east part of the bay. More upscale and better quality
resorts dedicated to families with kids, groups and middle age pairs.
The main village at the pier offers several restaurants, food stalls, shops selling food and supplies,
as well as diving company offices and a motorbike rental shops. Tourists also can hire a motorbike
at shops along the road to the resorts with price for daily rental from 100 to 250 Baht. Forested hills of
Ko Phayam are a habitat of monkeys, wild animals and a variety of birds like Hornbill and Sea Eagle.
At the south end of Buffalo Bay is a small sea gypsy settlement.
Koh Phayam - probably the most beautiful island in Thailand

Bell helps bump Bisons past IronPigs
The Bisons put their 10-singles to good use scoring four-runs in a, 4-2, win over Lehigh Valley Thursday night at Coca-Cola Field.
"Everybody chipped in, it was different ways that we scored, it was a very fruitful game, timely hitting, and guys did a real nice job out there defensively," manager Tim Teufel said.
Bubba Bell led the offensive charge leading off the third-inning with his first of three-base hits. Mike Nickeas followed Bell's lead and singled into left-field putting two-runners on with no-outs. Bisons starter Dylan Owen helped his cause by moving the runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt.
"Everything felt pretty good tonight, I was seeing the ball really well, and you know it's just one of those nights that you can just throw the bat out there and you're going to get a couple hits," said Bubba Bell.
Luis Figueroa singled in Bell for the Bisons first run tying the game at one. With Nickeas at third and Figueroa at first, Michael Fisher grounded into a fielder's choice allowing Nickeas to score, putting the Herd ahead, 2-1.
After one out in the fourth-inning Bell singled for the second time Thursday night scoring Jesus Feliciano. Luis Hernandez scored on Nickeas' single into center-field to make it, 4-1. Bell singled again in the sixth inning, but was left stranded after Nickeas and Jason Botts struck out.
Bell was red hot going three for four, with a run driven in and a run scored. The IronPigs finally retired Bell in his final at-bat of the game to end the eighth-inning.
"Bell drove in a big run, and continues to swing the bat well," Teufel said.
The Herd got a solid start from Owen, pitching six-innings and giving up two-runs on solo-homeruns in the third and sixth inning. After giving up the solo-shot in the third inning Owen retired the next eight batters in a row.
"Owen was just outstanding on the mound; he gave us what we needed." Teufel said. "We needed to get deep in the game and he brought us deep enough."
The IronPigs second-run came in the sixth-inning when Owen gave up a solo-homerun. Owen has given up three-runs or fewer in his last five starts. He gave up two-runs in his last start leaving after 5.1 innings and a no-decision.
Owen got the win Thursday after pitching six-innings, giving up six-hits, two-runs, and striking-out five IronPigs. Dale Thayer closed out the game for his team leading sixth-save of the season.
"I think everybody did a really good job, both sides of the ball actually," said Bell. "It's good, we've started coming together, we're playing well as a team right now, and I think that once you can get some momentum going with that it makes it a lot easier for us to play as a team."
Game Notes: Nick Evans failed to get a hit for the first time in 19-games, ending a season high hit-streak for the Bisons…Dale Thayer closed out Thursdays game pitching the final two-innings and taking the team lead in saves with six…The Bisons are now, 6-1, during their current homestand.

Hewitt rallies, advances at SAP Open
Lleyton Hewitt, the former top-ranked player looking for his first singles title in nearly three years, reached the second round of the SAP Open with a 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over Blaz Kavcic on Tuesday.
"There were a lot of momentum changes throughout the match," said Hewitt, the Australian who won his last hardcourt title seven years ago. "He's a tough competitor out there. He's had a pretty good start to the year as well. It wasn't easy. In the end, I was happy to get through. I had to fight extremely hard."
Kavcic, a Slovenian, had won the first two meetings between the players.
Seeded players Denis Istomin and Marinko Matosevic also advanced.
In a late match, Tim Smyczek beat Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 6-3.
The sixth-seeded Istomin, from Uzbekistan, beat qualifier Ryan Sweeting 6-3, 6-4 in just over an hour, and the seventh-seeded Matosevic, from Australia, topped American Jack Sock, 7-6 (5), 6-1.
Hewitt, ranked 118th, won the event in 2002 and reached the 2006 final. He has 28 career titles and is 14-4 in San Jose.
"You always enjoy coming back to places where you've had good success," Hewitt said. "My main focus now is Davis Cup and Grand Slams at his stage of my career. But I want to prepare as well as possible for the big tournaments. I always give 100 percent, no matter which tournament I am at."
Istomin broke Sweeting's serve early in each set and won 86 percent of his first serves to maintain the advantage.
The 47th-ranked Istomin lost to Milos Raonic last year in the final of the event and is coming off consecutive quarterfinal finishes in Brisbane and Sydney. He's 10-3 lifetime in San Jose.
The 156th ranked Sweeting earned a spot in his first ATP tour main draw of the season.
In other matches, Canadian Vasek Pospisil knocked off Russian Evgeny Donskoy, 7-5, 6-1; and German Benjamin Becker downed American Ryan Harrison, 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-3.
In doubles action, Michael and Bob Bryan edged Americans Steve Johnson, a two-time NCAA singles champion while at Southern California, and Sock, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5).
The Bryans gave 84 doubles titles and 13 Grand Slam titles. They have yet to win a title in nine previous visits to San Jose.
"This is our second home," Michael Bryan said. "We wear our Stanford outfits when we come here. This is the year we have to win here."

The department of music at Hope College will feature Grammy-nominated jazz pianist and composer Fred Hersch in performance on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 3 p.m. in Wichers Auditorium of Nykerk Hall of Music.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Pianist and composer Hersch is widely recognized for his ability to reinvent the standard jazz repertoire, investing time-tested classics with keen insight, fresh ideas and extraordinary technique while steadfastly creating his own unique body of works. He has been described by "The New Yorker" as "a poet of a pianist" and "The New York Times" as "a master who plays it his way."
Hersch's many accomplishments include a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition, a Rockefeller Fellowship for a composition residency at the Bellagio Center in Italy, two Grammy nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance and a 2006 Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Composition.
He has recorded more than two-dozen albums as a solo artist or bandleader and appears on over one hundred recording projects as a duo collaborator, sideman, or featured soloist.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Hersch began playing the piano when he was four years old. Much to his teacher's chagrin, a career in jazz could have been foreshadowed by the young Hersch's propensity to improvise on the work of classical masters. Broadway original cast albums and his grandmother's collection of sheet music fed an early interest in the popular song. Hersch's musical journey led him to Boston's New England Conservatory, where he graduated with honors in 1977.
Heading south to New York City, Hersch quickly became one of the most in-demand pianists in town. He worked as a soloist and in duo settings at the legendary club Bradley's. As a sideman, he appeared with such outstanding jazz artists as saxophonists Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, and Jane Ira Bloom; flugelhornist Art Farmer; harmonica wizard Toots Thielemans; vibraphonist Gary Burton; vocalists Kurt Elling, Norma Winstone and Nancy King; and bassists Sam Jones and Charlie Haden.
Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the central Hope campus at the former 127 E. 12th St. between College and Columbia avenues.

MORBID ANGEL Drummer Offering Private Lessons
Acclaimed extreme-metal drummer Tim Yeung (MORBID ANGEL, DIVINE HERESY, VITAL REMAINS, HATE ETERNAL) is available for private drum lessons within the Los Angeles area as well as studio work throughout the year, schedule permitting. He can also offer lessons while he is on the road. Interested parties can contact Timat firstname.lastname@example.com.
With the inspiration of a songwriting mother and artistic father, Tim began playing drums in 1990 at the age of eleven. Within a few short years he was recording demos and playing live shows within the local muisc scene in upstate New York. He attended Hochstein School Of Music in Rochester and got his first big break in 1997 when he joined the death metal band HATE ETERNAL.
Now based in Los Angeles, Yeung has performed and worked with such national acts as ALL THAT REMAINS, HANK WILLIAMS III, NILE, VITAL REMAINS and DECREPIT BIRTH. His straddling of the extreme and mainstream is perhaps best reflected in his work with his band DIVINE HERESY, whose music features elements of extreme death metal as well as more mainstream genres.
For more information, visit Tim's new official web site at TimYeung.com.

Bake the Book: Creole Brownies
Get the Recipe
Simple but smart, these fudgy brownies from the Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook are coated with a decadent ganache infused with chicory coffee that takes them from clever to Creole.
Tips: Cafe du Monde is the name of the famous New Orleans chicory coffee that we used in this recipe. It can be found online, or in a specialty foods store near you. Once you've seen it, you'll recognize that trademark yellow-orange can anywhere. If you're in a pinch and can't find chicory coffee, substitute with regular; you just can't call them Creole. Cocoa nibs aren't too hard to find, either—and they're a great texture and flavor contrast in these brownies.
Tweaks: The great thing about this recipe is that it needs no stand mixer. All you need are mixing bowls and patience. And a really good silicon spatula, if you want to get fancy. Make sure to take your time forming the batter and ganache. Chocolate will "seize" if the water under the bowls gets too hot/touches the bowl.

As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. to give away.

This is Jud Bergman's second appearance on the IA 25. Read his extended profile from the 2012 IA 25. Click here to view the complete list and Special Report schedule for extended profiles for each of the 2013 IA 25 honorees.
Over the now 11 years that Investment Advisor has named the 25 most influential people in and around the advisory universe, we've acknowledged the regulators and money managers and advisors themselves who we deem influential, but also individuals like Jud Berman who lead organizations that are ahead of the curve in serving the evolving needs of advisors. Envestnet began as a turnkey asset management provider, where it remains a leader punctuated by its announced acquisition in mid-April of Prudential's Wealth Management Solutions, with its $12 billion in assets. Even that acquisition, which gives Envestnet a wider presence in the bank investment channel, signals more of an evolutionary development than a turnabout for the company. When that acquisition was announced, Bergman noted that "most of our new advisor and enterprise relationships are some kind of a conversion from a legacy" business model.
Even before making its acquisitions over the last few years of FundQuest, Prima Capital and Tamarac, "that kind of conversion became a core competency for us; it plays to our strength" as a company that, as we wrote in a June 2011 cover story here, Envestnet "stands at the crossroads" of the major issues facing advisors then and now: "performing increased due diligence on investment products; adapting to a fluid regulatory environment; improving efficiency in the back office and directly with clients; finding alpha-producing investments at a time of slow economic growth and continued volatility in the markets; succession planning; deciding which business model—broker-dealer or RIA—to adopt; and providing holistic financial advice to clients on all their investments, not just those over which the advisor has control."
In his own words, Bergman provided examples of how Envestnet has integrated its acquisitions: "We've placed Prima's institutional-quality research into our PMC offerings: embedded into our platform, but still available on a license basis." Tamarac, another acquisition, "is fully integrated at the portfolio accounting level" on Envestnet's platform; so beyond Tamarac's RIAs, who relied on Schwab Portfolio Center as their portfolio accounting software, "the Envestnet platform allows us to offer Tamarac to a whole new segment of advisors," providing a "terrific solution for the high-end portfolio manager" type of advisor.
In fact, said Bergman, Envestnet is a leader in serving the two main types of advisors. First are those who serve as "quarterbacks for their clients' investments." Those advisors, whom Bergman calls "wealth advisors," will lean on Envestnet to outsource technology and certain administrative tasks, but will avail themselves of Envestnet | PMC and Envestnet | Prima for their research as well. The second group of advisors, he said, is "the portfolio manager business model—larger, higher-end" firms where the advisor serves as "chief investment officer of the practice—selecting funds, securities, SMA managers." That model of advisor wants help with "more administrative tasks and practice management help." While he acknowledged that among advisors "there are as many permutations as you can imagine," he argued that "Tamarac is an ideal solution for that larger RIA who is the chief investment officer" of his or her firm.
Bergman stuck with his previously announced goal of maintaining 20% annual growth for Envestnet, the majority of which is organic growth, but "strategic activity," such as its acquisitions, "adds to that from time to time."
Getting back to Envestnet's primary goal, Bergman said "the fundamental undertaking of Envestnet when we started was to unify and fortify the wealth management process through good technology, and then the necessary services advisors would look for—back office, billing administration—to free advisors up to do their highest value activity—meeting with clients and prospects, and solving investment issues."
What's next for Envestnet and the broker-dealer and RIA advisors it serves? Bergman sees a "rapid movement from desktop solutions to fully mobile solutions; we already have advisors using the Envestnet platform with clients through their iPads." Another example of where Envestnet will remain at the crossroads of what advisors are facing: benchmarking for larger enterprises. "Larger firms are looking to deploy business intelligence—how certain advisors perform against certain benchmarks. We're seeing increasing requests for benchmarking intelligence." Bergman said, "Envestnet Intelligence" will help advisors improve their "performance to the end client by having advisors play to their strength, by using different portfolio models within the organization. We're excited to see how we can help large RIA firms and large broker-dealers with large commitments to the advisory business" with that benchmarking intelligence. Finally, Bergman said Envestnet is looking at new products, including "launching shortly a new product," called concentrated stock portfolios, "that we think has some important advantages over ETFs."

It's unfortunate that this pink seal Taser isn't an actual Taser and only gives people a slight zap. Why's that? Because it would be quite funny to see a mugger be taken down with a cellphone strap that's shaped like a pink seal when trying to steal some lady's bag. On second thought, instead of a pink seal, it may be even funnier to have one shaped like the recording artist Seal. That'd show them.
And if you're wondering, yes, this came from Japan. Where else?

So I had this idea, and when I get an idea, I usually don't let it go until it reaches spectacular success or spectacular failure. This idea was to have a proper camping trip.
We went on our first family camping trip a few months ago, I posted about it here. While it was a fun adventure, it wasn't the relaxing-in-nature kind of trip I'd envisioned. After that excursion I figured we needed to try camping again soon so that it won't seem like an insurmountable task come next summer.
Also, I have to admit I'm going through a phase where I'm trying to eek out every minute of fun because when Bean is born in January, I know life will never be the same. But the kicker is I don't know what that life will look like. So I might as well get to crossing items off my To Do list now, while I've got a good grasp on how things are.
For the past two months our weekends have been booked with out-of-state trips, parties, work-related functions and more. But I tried to keep this weekend open. When looking for a place to camp, I saw pictures of Starved Rock State Park and fell in love with it as the closest, perfect spot to camp with great hiking trails. Then last week the weather forecast made its last promise of summer, so on Thursday I decided, yes let's camp. Hubby was all for it and we began preparing. There were new To Do lists, Googling on hiking with a toddler and being pregnant and a fun REI run. Come Friday my family was ready.
The only problem is we had no place to go. That weekend was Starved Rock's big weekend because of some local festival and they'd been full for ages. I remembered my dentist telling me about Kettle Moraine in Wisconsin. I called them and they said they weren't accepting reservations, but that I should "c'mon up … we've got tons of space … see you this weekend!"
Saturday morning, my clan headed out. About an hour from Kettle Moraine, per the state park woman's directions, I called the place to see which of the three campgrounds I should head to. A different woman told me they were full and had already turned away well over 50 people. Nice. Now what?
I started to freak as I'd packed up my entire family, carted them to Wisconsin and we had no place to stay. Would the Camping Curse continue? My heroic hubby hopped on his phone and searched for nearby state parks. We were a mile away from one that said they had plenty of space.
As we pulled into Big Foot Beach State Park, the check-in booth was blanketed in beetles. This well-coifed park ranger came out and was unphased. They buzzed around her curly locks and one crawled on her cheek. She never swatted it away. I barely wanted to roll down my window for fear of letting the swarm inside.
Once through Bug Gate, we chose a shady spot atop a small slope. Hubby pitched the tent with minimal help from me and Logan, which was a huge upgrade from the last time when I had to put it up in the dark because he was too freaked by the abundance of monster bugs.
After we got everything settled, we just relaxed. Logan and I snuggled on a blanket and admired the yellow, burgundy and orange leaves while having an esoteric conversation about who created the trees and why. He then gave the park his seal of approval: "Mommy, this place is boootiful."
He was right. The fall foliage was great and we got a good look at it while going on a 2ish mile hike. The trail we took was fairly well-worn, so he rode his little bike, but after about 45 minutes, I was glad it wasn't a tougher trail as my body reminded me that I am seven months pregnant.
Many folks thought I was crazy for wanting to go camping with my 3 year old and baking my Bean. I totally see where they were coming from. But in a clichéd 3 a.m. pregnant lady run to the outhouse, I reveled in the silence. While walking back to the tent, I could only hear the rocks crunching beneath my feet and I looked up and saw Orion's bow. It's been years since I've seen that. His belt? Yes. His bow? No.
Growing up my dad and I had a hobby of studying the stars and living in the city, I don't see constellations like you can in the country. And it was breathtaking. This, I thought, is why I'm doing it. There's no e-mail, no phone calls, no TV, no cleaning, no laundry, no RSVPs, no work, no nothing, no expectations. Just me, my family and nature.
And it was perfect.

how do you check if a file exists before you attempt to open it or write to it?
how do you check if a file exists before you attempt to open it or write to it?
Usually you try to open it and if it fails to open then you handle that error.
You can attempt to open it for reading. If that succeeds then the file exists. If the file doesn't exist then it will fail to open for reading.
There could always be some other error causing an existing file not to open, but that will be fairly rare. Depending on what platform you're on there are other more specific ways to tell that might be more accurate.
Isn't there a way to browse the existing folder? This should be portable through unix solaris linux windows and all the major ones.
There is no standard C++ solution. I would try boost's filesystem library. There may also be Posix functions that will work across the platforms you need.
thanks, i'll have to get my co-worker to make the funciton give a return value on his dataset loading function then.
But it would still be a good idea to abstract out the function you're trying to do and call whatever OS specific function is available on your platform.
thank you
what about this : http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/i...ebuf/open.html
What are its limitations to this for checking if a file exists in a folder or not?
This is the same as my original suggestion (although I'm not sure why you need to use the filebuf, just use the ifstream). If the file fails to open for reading, you won't be able to tell if it doesn't exist or if there was some other error. Otherwise it's fine.
What do you mean "first bit"?
If the file does not exist, the function returns null. If the file exists but cannot be opened for reading (perhaps because of certain permissions), the function returns null. How can you tell the difference?
As I said, you might not care about the difference, in which case simply using the ifstream will be fine, but it isn't 100% accurate.
Daved is asking you what you mean by "exists". Do you mean, that you can access it? Then just trying to open it will answer your question. Do you mean, whether the file is in the filesystem somewhere, even if it is locked or protected? You will have to use nonstandard system calls to answer that.
Code:#include <stdio.h> void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){ puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9 /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i] ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][ t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}
I don't know any good resources off the top of my head. What are you confused about?
It's pretty simple. If you try to open a file for reading and it fails, most of the time that's because it doesn't exist. Occasionally it is because of some other error (like a lack of read permissions).
If you try to open the file with an fstream (or ifstream or filebuf) then the only information you get is that the file failed to open. You don't know if it is because it does not exist or if it is because the user does not have permission to read that file.
So the question is, for your program, is it good enough to just know that it failed without knowing why? If you are writing files in the same directory in your application, then it will be very rare that you won't be allowed to read one. So maybe it's ok.
If it's not ok, then use a third party library like boost filesystem instead of using the fstream open trick.

Earlier today, August Burns Red grammed out the good news: They're back in the studio. Recording at Atrium Audio (Texas in July), it makes sense as the studio is in their hometown of Lancaster, PA. Listen below for a quick :15 teaser.
Evolution Beyond Dissonance
Two years since the release of Hands Like Houses' latest album, 'Anon,' the band should be on the road supporting the release. Instead, the band has leveraged their local presence, government help, and new platforms like Patreon to stay afloat in the COVID-age.Full Feature More from Hands Like Houses
Between the White Noise
My Epic's last full-length album came out in 2013; despite a number of EPs along the way, the band's dedication to their craft, lyrical approach, and unyielding approach to let the music come naturally has made them critical darlings. Now, they're learning to interact and feed a rabid fanbase in between albums and in a new normal.Full Feature More from My Epic
Becoming Comrades
The trio of Comrades – husband and wife Joe and Laura McElroy alongside drummer John Gaskil – is used to living in a van and touring the country. Now, their new normal has provided them with a moment to "be adults" for once. We recently sat down with the McElroys to talk more about the spiritual reality within life, how soon they'll be able to release new music, and how koalas are their new normal.Full Feature More from Comrades
HM Magazine Turns 35
In 1985, Doug Van Pelt photocopied a letter-sized sheets of paper, bound them together, and handed them out in person on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. It's all digital now, but, along the way, Van Pelt stirred up quite a few waves, played some seriously heavy music, and made a few friends along the way. Here: A quick look back at the magazine's 35-year history with Van Pelt and new owner, David Stagg.Full Feature More from HM Magazine

Taffe, Taafe, Tafe of Maitland, Walcha, & Queensland 1827 forward
William TAFFE and Cecilia Jane TAFFE (nee EVERS) arrived in Sydney by separate convict carriers from Dublin in 1827 with children William (b.1825) and Richard (b.1826-7). The family eventually settled in Maitland, NSW but both parents died in Sydney. So it appears that both eventually left Maitland and went in their declining years at least to live in Sydney. Their son William (b.1825) m. Caroline Stewart, daughter of a Morpeth grocer, George Stewart and they had a large family which they raised in Maitland but by the 20th century most had dispersed to other parts of NSW.
The other children of William and Cecilia dispersed to New England area ((John b. 1842; Joseph b. 1831; Richard b.1826-7), SE Queensland (Thomas b. 1833); and Sydney (Winnifred b.1837, m. James Pickering; Rachel b.1839, m. William Pickering).
I am a fifth generation descendant of William and Cecilia stemming from one of the New England Taffe families (GG Grandfather was John Taffe (b.1842).
The family research has been concentrated on the TAFFE line but the branches spread out across a number of family names notably, PIPER (central coast of NSW), COOK and JOHNS (coal mining families in & around Newcastle, NSW), as well as CAMERON and BAKER in the Walcha area (New England, NSW).
I am particularly focussed on the arrival experience of each family line and have spent a lot of time over the past 25 years digging about in old newspapers, interviewing older family members etc.
The family name is spelt in a variety of ways (TAAFE, TAFE, TAAFFE) and anyone with those spellings may be intersted in contacting me - especially if your family history geography is near some of the locations located above.
I have a well-developed family tree and can send you a copy if you are interested.
I would be very happy to hear from others researching this family or other names related to it.

What's On the SWEDA Menu?
Alright, it's time to make ye olde sales pitch once more.
But first, some background information that you've all been waiting for.
SWEDA is currently an all-male private forum, consisting of two groups. The first group is the group to which I belong, of which none of the original members (not even my Wife) are still part. There are four other men in this group.
This group was once made up of the original Argonauts: Cary, Steve W., Ezra, Keith Z., Julian, and myself, as well as Nick (Ascension) and Alginojr, who (along with Keith, and two women, who left early on, though eventually came back) were at SWEDA in the very early, pre-ARGO days, before the group was named as Thessaly. Thessaly also included my Wife, Lucinda, and the mysterious Wangwei.
Cary, Julian, and Steve left this group at different times for different reasons. Ezra "graduated" when he grokked that the letting go process of SWEDA inevitably culminated in letting go of his attachments to SWEDA itself. Because of this, Ezra became the first (imaginary) "graduate."
There are no SWEDA "graduates," per se, because it's not a school system and there's no actual "end" to the deconstruction process. Well, there is; but you won't be there to receive your diploma.
A few months back, another group formed, Lemnos, which went through a similarly rocky development, until a time when what was left of Lemnos was taken into Thessaly. This coincided with a new group forming (recently named Doliones), made up of the successful Try-Outs at Anomalies Anonymous (AA), the "no-charge" area of the (still private) forum. (The AA is no longer operational.)
Still following me so far?
The remaining members of Lemnos, having kept up the SWEDA grind for several months, were then "upgraded" into Thessaly, expanding the ranks considerably. Soon after this, four of the core members of Thessaly left, reducing the ranks once again. Bizarrely, each time this happened, new arrivals also showed up at the exact time: men go out, men come in. This was timed not only to the day, but sometimes to the hour.
This indicates that SWEDA functions as a living consciousness system. As with an organism, whenever cells "die," they are immediately replaced.
Like all organisms, it wishes to grow.
For the past year, the size of SWEDA has remained fairly constant, varying between perhaps a minimum of five and a maximum of 17 members, but keeping to an consistent average of about 10 or 12.
Its current size (following the most recent shift, pertaining to a woman's group which lasted all of two weeks, and which I talk about on today's Vagabond Blues podcast) is ten: five inside Thessaly, and six in the new group. There is one member who belongs to both groups, so in this case, five plus six = ten.
Members of Thessaly can read and interact with the threads of the second group, Doliones, but not vice versa. The nominal leader of the second group has access to Thessaly. This is about to change, however, as I intend to allow the more long-standing members of Doliones read-only access to Thessaly. Today, in fact.
Having summed all that up, hopefully I have satisfied your curiosity enough to make you more curious than before.
As posted below, I recently decided to focus more on voice consultations, and less on text. These Skyped consultations usually run a little over an hour in length, and are recorded for the group to listen to.
With the co-operation of the group, we will be making some of these consultations public in the near future, depending on both parties' agreements, and with the input of other group members as to which talks will make the best podcasts. This way, SWEDA can begin to extend into the public realm and become more of an open project. I began motion this with Warty Theorems, but those podcasts were done as podcasts. This will be private consultations that are then aired, if and when it's agreed to do so. (Possibly with some editing.)
Now to brass tacks.
Signing up for SWEDA will cost you $100 for the first month. This price includes two talks with myself, that's Aeolus (consults which may or may not become podcasts), and a month of interaction at the forum with the other group members. There is no obligation to stay past the first month.
Because of this, you will not belong to either of the groups, but be in a sort of trial space where the other two groups can read and respond to your posts, even though you can't see anything going on in their space. (A space filled up with months of soul-searching and personal disclosures.) Whether you are part of a small group of first-timers or not will depend on how many others sign up during a given month. If you choose to sign up and don't want to be doing it alone, then you can simply wait until a small group is assembled, however long that takes.
So for those who want to find out what really goes on inside the mysterious labyrinth of unbecoming that is the Stormy Weather Existential Detective Agency, you can do so now, for the cost of five trips to the grocery store, half a dozen trips to the movies, ten bottles of beer, 20 packs of smokes, or half an hour with a medium-rate hooker.
For more of what SWEDA entails, see here.
Sign up here.

Sounds like a cult to me! In matter of fact Castaneda's cult! Broke the illusion & then create your own loyal follower's.. What is wrong with humanity? If we can't beat the Evil Arch, we then chose to make our own secret society. After all, we do know what will happen when these things group up: Hierachy, Male, Quasi enlightenment = Vatican!
First warning sign was when i listen up your podcasts & find out your attitude towards other reseacher's/Spider webs surfer's.. When ever i hear someone talking about finding the ultimate truth's in neverending cosmos. I know for sure that all-knowing stupidity is the basic building block in our 3D-world.. But everybody have they own path to walk & it's not my job to be the sheepdog. Signpost maybe, but not the dog.

I like the sound of SWEDA, though I've never been a member of a SWEDA group. I admire Jason's work and have benefited greatly from listening to his podcasts and reading his books.
Interestingly, the SWEDA system reminds me a lot of the Fourth Way (the system established by G.I. Gurdjieff and P. D. Ouspensky). (Considering that Castaneda was greatly influenced by the Fourth Way, it makes sense to me that Jason's system contains some similarities.) Gurdjieff was a 'channel' for the Fourth Way, just as Jason, as far as I can tell, is a 'channel' for SWEDA.
While both systems are extremely useful 'tools' – helping a person to see themselves as they are, not as they imagine themselves to be – neither is completely 'clean', nor could it possibly be. (Ouspensky, who eventually split with Gurdjieff, once referred to him as a "tainted channel.") Jason doesn't claim to be perfect, nor is he trying to suggest that SWEDA is the 'ultimate truth'.

What's up, I enjoyed (your) book about Paranoia-applications.
I even knew the core-point from personal experience already but especially enjoyed the chapter on Manson, Satanism etc (Theatre of Hate, chap.III). since it gave me a very comprehensive and enlightening insight into certain streaks of modern American culture.
Still, I also would spend the 100$ otherwise (e.g. on a book called the Pyrrhonic Scepsis and a bottle of good single malt whiskey), but chaqun à son goût, de gustibus non est disputandum etc., I'm sure that your modern-philosophical mind-striptease-exercises are surely benefical to the right kind of student, too!
All the best, K.

Hey Aeolus. Just wondering : why all male? What would females take away from what you're doing, and don't you feel there could be an imbalance by doing things this way?
Hope you're doing well anyway.

the group is exploring sexual distortions, sexual histories, so it entails going into some very uncomfortable areas of the past and of the psyche; hard enough to talk openly about such things without having the other sex present to increase the discomfort.
this was an organic change, however, not one i or anyone consciously brought about. looking back the logic of it is clear.

Ah ok. Well here's hoping you don't end up over-thinking things as you go on, and keep yourselves open to feeling and intuition.

Cleavage Banned To Make Chess Competitions 'Less Sexy'
The European Chess Union is taking sexy back with a strict new set of rules that may make watching ladies land a checkmate, slightly less titillating.
The new dress code regulations specified by the ECU, will first be enacted during the upcoming European Women's Chess Championship. Women are required that their décolletés (that's a fancy French word for cleavage) not be exposed and that only the second from the top button may be worn open. If that's not disappointing enough, the length of skirts was also mandated and must be no shorter than 5-10 centimeters above the knees.
The ECU's General Secretary confirmed that the rules were created in response to players "not wearing proper clothes." If we were aware that such stacked and scantily clad ladies were playing chess, maybe we would be watching chess championships instead of beach volleyball.
We were going to make a funny pun about a woman's chest and name them after chess pieces but we don't know anything about chess. We've also never touched a woman's breasts. The joke would seem forced.

Businesses operate in a complex global environment and face unique challenges when operating in areas affected by social, political and economic instability or when managing larger, more sophisticated supply chains. The convergence of technology, social media and more targeted activism also means consumers, investors and shareholders often find out about human rights impacts before businesses do.
Understanding human rights impacts is an essential component of integrity, risk management and citizenship. In addition to minimizing litigation risks, demonstrating respect for human rights is vital to building a culture of trust and integrity, protecting brand profile and enhancing reputation, managing investor and shareholder relations and making companies attractive business partners.
The increasing convergence of human rights standards, such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, with domestic legislation and international standards also demonstrates a global trend of expected business conduct. Businesses need a proactive approach that balances short-term goals with a long-term vision. An effective strategy that takes into account emerging expectations of business conduct can also enhance business stability, productivity, and long-term profitability.
DLA Piper has a dedicated International Business and Human Rights team led by international business and human rights lawyers with multi-jurisdictional, cross-practice experience to support business in this emerging area.
Sound risk management is about having effective systems and processes for identifying and preventing or responding to adverse human rights, social and community impacts. The journey starts with a strong policy commitment to set the tone from the top on a business's approach to human rights.
Reporting and disclosure requirements are increasingly focusing on encouraging transparency and requiring businesses to disclosure human rights, social and community risks as well as information on human rights policies and their effectiveness. Examples include the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, narrative reporting requirements in the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013, the "Dodd-Frank Act", the Californian Transparency in Supply Chain Act 2010 and developments across Europe for transparency-based legislation and the implementation of the non-financial reporting Directive.
When operating in emerging markets businesses often face unforeseen social, political and economic challenges due to poor governance, corruption, political instability and social incohesion. In contrast to risk management, which involves identifying potential impacts and seeking to avoid them, human rights crisis management involves dealing with unforeseen impacts as they occur.
When a business faces criticism or unexpected human rights-related issues, such as adverse impacts on physical or sexual integrity of workers or local community members, or land rights related disruption to operations, DLA Piper can help clients effectively respond with its global investigation and crisis management capability.
An estimated 80% of global trade passes through supply chains, so it is vital for businesses to manage human rights issues associated with them. This is integral to protecting brand, managing legal, regulatory and reputational risks and for effective expansion into new markets. Sustainable supply chains and ethical procurement procedures make good business sense and create long-term social and economic value for all stakeholders involved in bringing products and services to the market.
Institutional investors and financial institutions increasingly require businesses to identify and manage social and human rights issues related to their activities as a condition of providing funding. Examples of standards that incorporate requirements related to human rights include the IFC Performance Standards, Equator Principles, OECD Common Approaches and OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises and are applicable to most of the world's largest financial institutions.

If The Reporter Editorial Board had its way, political candidates and causes would be allowed to accept only those donations that came from an individual -- and even then, there would be a limit on how much they could receive.
The board shares Californians' concerns about political money and its corrupting effect on our governing systems.
Yet, despite its claims of reform, Proposition 32 is not a "solution" the board can endorse. It has the effect of shutting down one side of the political influence -- labor -- while leaving the other side -- business -- to continue exerting its leverage. That's more than unfair -- it disrupts the checks and balances our governing system relies on.
Proposition 32 is riddled with disparities. It would forbid money withheld from employee paychecks -- including, or especially, union dues -- from being used for "political purposes." It's important to note that union members who object to their dues being used for political purposes can already opt out. And all union members can elect union leaders who won't spend money that way.
Backers of Proposition 32 claim it's fair because corporations won't be able to withhold employee money for political purposes, either -- even thought that's not how corporations garner their political funds. Had the authors of this proposition wanted to curb political money on both sides, they would have required corporations to get permission from shareholders.
Also, Proposition 32 doesn't eliminate political spending. It just forbids unions or corporations (and, remember, it doesn't apply to businesses that aren't "corporations") from giving to candidates or campaigns.
They are still free to spend as much as they like on independent PACs -- the ones that candidates and campaigns have nothing to do with. The ones that answer to no one.
Think about it. As objectionable as political advertisements put out by candidates or campaigns may be -- and, let's face it, this is where much of the political money goes -- they pale in comparison to the loathsome ads independent PACs are capable of. Candidates and campaigns at least risk offending voters and may pull back an ad because of that. Independent PACs don't have anything to lose.
If Proposition 32 seems familiar, it should. California voters turned down a similar version in 2005. The Reporter Editorial Board didn't support that one, either.
It's too bad truly reform-minded entities can't put together a serious proposal to rein in campaign spending. The Editorial Board would back that. But it can't support propositions designed to still only one voice.
Vote "no" on Proposition 32.

I promised I would share about the partition deeds that were part of the estate of Daniel D. Spracklin in each of the posts about his children but I ended up getting to involved with the writing of each post about Daniel's 2nd family and didn't have the room.
So let me share the deeds for some of the heirs of Daniel and I think they are really wonderful. These are not the originals but typed copies of the deeds by the court clerk.
Here is the post that I wrote in August titled: Daniel D. Spracklin's Estate: The Partition Deeds, August 29, 2015. This post referred to a Referree Deed as well which I will not share here.
Here is the list of those who participated in the partitioning of Daniel's land in Dayton Twp., Iowa Co., Iowa and these deeds helped me to find where the they all went.
1. Spracklin, V.H. & wife (Mae) Co. of Sanborn, So. Dakota – 1/23/1917 – $149.50. This is Virda Huston and his wife Mae.
2. Spracklin, E.S. & wife (Mrs. E.G. Spracklin) Co. of Shelby, IA – 9/23/1916 – $150.50 – This person is Elmer George Spracklin son of Henry Spracklin, brother to Amarilla and of the first family.
3. Spracklin, P.S. – Single…his wife, Co. of Iowa, IA. – 1/13/1917 – $150.50 – I think this is Peter George Spracklin who is a son of Daniel and Sarah Spracklin.
4. Spracklin, C.E. etal (wife is Arminda V. Spracklin & Ammarilla Dawes, single) – 12/22/1916 $152.50 – This is the one in which Amarilla Barclay Dawes and Charles Edward Spracklin came together to release their claim on their father Daniel's land. It is done in Minnesota.
5. Spracklin O.R., single Co. of Sanborn, So. Dakota – 1/18/1917 – $153.50 – Based on the Heir-at-Law form that I have featured on this blog in my posts about Daniel's Estate, I think this is Raymond Ortha Spracklin another son of Henry Spracklin and Elizabeth Bendon.
These deeds were together in order in the book at the courthouse on my trip to Iowa in 2003 and I do not understand why there were only these individual's listed. Based on the Heirs-at-law form from Daniel's estate there should be more? Reed Spracklin, was the Administrator of the estate so he had an agreement with Daniel.

Fells Point...FELLS POINT. Now for some odd God forsaken reason I had never been to Fells Point until my senior year in High School and I was born and raised in Baltimore (county--you gotta put that in there). Fells Point is basically like Carytown in Richmond (for all my VCU heads) but with water. If you are not familiar picture a historic fashionable small quaint community with thrifty nifty stores music and hot eating spots. I will admit racism can be present in places such as these HOWEVER you see a lot of friendly faces and if you catch the area on one of its busiest days it can make you feel like your walking around in somewhere that's actually important. It can act as your own personal Baltimorian heaven if you let it. Hit it up if you are in the area and if you come visit me remind me to take you there....it's located "behind" the harbor BUT still on that shit lol the website even has its own CRIME BLOG, that's how you know it's still Southeast Baltimore lol

R KElly "the DEMO tape"
The King is BACK! You can argue with me all day, but I will remain grounded in my decision that R Kelly is THE KING of modern day R&B. The man is musical genius. He defies boundaries. It's like he wakes up, pees, gets dressed and says "Hey today I'm going to make a gospel song", or "Hey today I'm going to make a country song", or "Hey today I'm going to make a classic bomb ass collaboration with some nigga who ain't even that hot but im going to make him hot". R. Kelly is that shit. Which is why Queenie proudly brings to you the MIXTAPE...Click one of the two pics to download and enjoy. (pic 1:direct download, pic 2:datpiff)

Gap 09
The Gap is keeping it so totally real this summer, defining the season with blends of jean, khaki, and a genius use of bright colors. The new collection offers the Gap classics you are fond of such as trouser pants, shorts, trenches, summer scarves and shoes. Patrick Robinson completely did the damn thang! He takes one unoriginal commercial item and makes sure that it has its own individual appeal. The clothes seem to fit perfectly and come in the Gap's standard multi-size menu. Of course the best thing about this entire collection is that it's totally AFFORDABLE, CHIC, and ECO-FRIENDLY---so I made that last part up, BUT still it looks ECO-FRIENDLY and that's what counts. It also offers a sensible idea of how the modern MAN should dress (emphasis on MAN) or maybe just a cute little boy. So go to your local mall and try some ish on buddies!!! Say WHAT!

TLC and LIL KIM???
It is becomming so difficult to decide whether or not to post on Queenie or on my own site. All I know is that this ish is getting boring because the public is not responding and maybe that is our fault, but you know everyone has a life. If I could get paid for blogging best believe I would...but I gotta eat too dig? Well what's new in news....hmmmm
I heard on the radio that TLC is inserting Lil' Kim as the "new" Left Eye when they go on tour. I actually got very excited when I heard the news, but to my dismay the rumors have been cleared up and KIM is NOT replacing Left Eye. They issued the following statement:
We want our fans to know that replacing our sister Lisa is not, nor has it ever been an option. TLC will always consist of Chilli and T-Boz. Lisa's spirit lives on through us. She cannot be replaced. We may collaborate with other artists, just like many other groups have done, but we will never add anyone to TLC.
We love Lil Kim and have been talking about collaborating with her for awhile. We hope to have an opportunity to work with her in the near future."
-Chilli & T-Boz

Clarion, the leading car audio and car navigation systems manufacturer unveils its latest Multimedia and Navigation System unit: the NX509E.
This 2-DIN device includes a 7-inch touch panel control and built-in navigation. The NX509E enhances Clarion's extensive know-how in multimedia integration.
The body shape is streamlined. A wide variety of functions, ranging from car navigation to AV entertainment, are consolidated into an intuitive user interface so there are only 3 physical buttons present on the front panel, contributing to the clean looks of this model.
The unit shares the Clarion MAP790 portable device advanced navigation software, and its rich map and information database: map data for 44 European countries is preinstalled. All "must have" functions are also present; text-to-speech: while streets are displayed on the screen, voice guidance tells you their actual name ("after 150 metres, turn left onto Saint Margaret Street..."). The rich voice guidance comes with enhanced contents displayed on the screen: 360° 3D realistic views (3D buildings, 3D landmarks), modelling terrain in 3D, topographical view, as well as lane indicators, motorway signposts etc. All useful information is automatically displayed exactly when you need it.
In addition to the built-in data, new maps or updates are easy to upload through a dedicated SD slot.
The system is equipped with the BBE-MP function, which restores harmonics lost during digital audio file compression, thereby reproducing the warmth, detail and nuances of the original source. Its 24-bit D/A converter changes the 16-bit digital data to a full 24-bit format for the ultimate in resolution and clarity. The NX509E of course offers the 2-Zone entertainment function, that separates the in-car environment into two discrete zones, allowing rear seat passengers to enjoy a DVD movie, DivX® video or iPod Video, while the front seat passengers can enjoy their favourite radio station or music from a USB memory device.

Hi, This has been a recent occuance and never had a problem with it before but I'd get sharp stinging needle like pain all over my body particuarly my back area when I'm hot, nervous, or put on the spot.
The sharp needle like pain can be described like the stinging pain when your feet falls asleep.
It's weird because I have checked the areas where it stings and there is no physical marks like spots, bumps, or redness. Just my skin but It's really bothering and affects me a lot because my skin starts stinging when im taking a test or what not and I cannot focus.
If anyone have any ideas it would be much appreciated it, if not I plan on going to a doctor to check it out.

Did you know that one in six US adults has high cholesterol?
