New York residents who have been named as executor under a testator's will may wonder what will be involved in the process. An executor is responsible for identifying assets, paying debts and then distributing assets to beneficiaries. However, the nuts and bolts can be more complicated.
Responsibilities of an executor
Estate planning for married couples
Couples in New York and around the country sometimes believe that marriage negates the need for estate planning tools such as powers of attorney and wills. While married couples enjoy several legal rights and protections, there are still a number of good reasons for them to put an effective estate plan into place.

John Quincy Adams
6th President of the United States (1825-1829)
The President of the United States serves as the head of the Executive Branch of our United States Government. Over forty men have been privileged to serve in this role.
The picture of John Quincy Adams to the right is a photograph of a portion of a portrait that was painted in 1858 by George Peter Alexander Healy. The 1858 portrait was based on a portrait painted from life in 1845, three years before President Adams' death in 1848. In 1845 John Quincy Adams had completed his term as President of the United States and was serving as a Massachusetts Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In this portrait, John Quincy Adams holds a book in his left hand while sitting in a chair. He is wearing a black waistcoat and high colored white shirt with a white tie.
The original portrait belongs to the White House Historical Association and is part of their White House Collection.

John Quincy Adams Presidential $1 Coin Sixth President, 1825-1829
John Quincy Adams was born into politics as the son of second U.S. President John Adams and Abigail Adams. As a child, he watched the American Revolution unfold and accompanied his father on his diplomatic posts to Europe. He followed in his fathers footsteps by becoming a diplomat in Europe and, later, the sixth U.S. president.
Adams became president by the slimmest of margins in a controversial election that was ultimately decided in the US House of Representatives by one vote.
As president, Adams proposed a wide system of roads and canals to stimulate the economy and foster trade throughout the Nation. During his administration, the Cumberland road was extended into Ohio, and several major canal systems were begun.
After his unsuccessful bid for re-election, Adams went on to serve nine terms in the US House of Representatives. He and Andrew Johnson, 17th president, are the only two former presidents to later serve in Congress.

Louisa Adams First Spouse $10 Gold Coin - First Lady, 18251829
The only first lady to be born outside the U.S., Louisa Catherine Johnson was born in 1775 in London to an American father and British mother. The family moved to France when she was three, where she completed her education. She met John Quincy Adams while he was serving in a diplomatic post in London and they married in 1797. Her first time on American soil came in 1801 when John Quincy was called back from diplomatic service by President Jefferson. She finally met her in-laws, former president John Adams and the formidable Abigail Adams, at that time.
Louisa Adams was an accomplished musician whose talents included singing, playing the harp and piano, and composing. A prolific author, she penned both poetry and drama. She authored a play titled Suspicion, or Persecuted Innocence while she served as first lady, in which she stressed the strengths of women. She was the first first lady to write her memoirs, entitled Adventures of a Nobody.
Reverse Design
For nearly six years, from 18091815, Louisa and John Quincy Adams lived as American diplomats in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. In 1814, John Quincy was summoned to The Hague to participate in peace talks to end the War of 1812. In 1815, she and her 8-year-old son Charles began an arduous journey across much of Europe to join her husband in Paris. While alone in Russia, Louisa not only managed the familys affairs, but her courage and linguistic talents helped the two of them find safe passage through unfamiliar and often dangerous lands.

This(the Hetzel vs. Me game) is the 6th game of a 5 round double round robin tournament. I started off 1-3. Based on the ratings of the players I had to score 5/6 to avoid a rating loss. (Now 4/5). The rating loss I am talking about is hypothetical since I am at my floor. But since this tournament won't be rated till sometime in October, any good results I may have up to then will be wiped out when this tournament is rated, unless I can turn things around.
Two games is a row where I develop the Queens rook via a7! But this time in a winning cause. I am not sure if 7...c5 was a good move by me, but since white did not play d4 when he got the chance, it worked out in my favor. The variation 20...Bg5 after 20.Nxd4 is very interesting. I stopped looking after I saw that White can play 24.Nc6 after 23...Bxe1. But the variation is not over as I can play Rc7 then Rfc8 (If White plays 25.Rxe1, but his best is 25.d4), force the knight to move and then either fork the Knight and Bishop or trap the Bishop. (Courtesy of Fritz)
So far the main story is the performance of 8 year old Alexander Velikanov who is in my section and has a score of 6-0!. I was supposed to play him next Wednesday with the black pieces, but the game has been postponed for late September. This is my loss as white gainst him played a few weeks ago.
Won a game in the Hales Corner Club Championahip. I think it was a mistake for me to play 8.c4 and give the black bishop scope. Other than that I don't think I made any bad moves.

After several years during which he made only rare appearances in the showring, Hillsborough breeder Mr William A Bell celebrated his "comeback" in grand style at a show and sale of pedigree Border Leicesters held at Balmoral by the Ulster Ram Breeders' Association during this week in 1970.
Mr Bell brought out the supreme champion of the show, a ram lamb which collected no less than three trophies, the Allam Cup, the McIlmoyle Cup and the Challenge Cup.
Runner-up for all three awards was a ram lamb from the flock of Mr Samuel Holden, Ballygowan, Ballynure.
It was reported that there could have been few more popular winners of the award than the Hillsborough man, one of Ulster's leading Border Leicester breeders for many years and immediately judge Mr Roy Hughes of Oswestry, Shropshire, came to his decision Mr Bell was beseiged with congratulations of his fellow breed enthusiasts.
For Mr Bell, a past winner of the championship award, it was like old times again.
Mr Hughes has no hesitation in selecting Mr Bell's first prizewinning ram lamb as the show champion. He said afterwards: "This sheep would not have been out of place in Lanark. He is a fine example of the breed."
The shearling cup went to a ewe shown by "veteran" Dromara breeder Mr James H Aiken while the Anderson Cup for the best female went to the Dromara partnership of Messrs Graham and McCrum.
Mr Robert Mulligan of Brague, Corbet, Banbridge, collected the Helmatac tankard for the best group of three.

Shearling Cup - James H Aiken, Carnew, Dromara.
Anderson Cup - Graham McCrum, Tullyvallen House, Tillyniskey Dromara.
Helmatac tankard - Robert Mulligan, Brague, Corbet, Banbridge.
Class awards: Shearling ram - 1 and 4, J H McConnell, Cavanhill, Rathfriland; 2, reserve and highly commended, Robert Mulligan, Brague, Corbet, Banbridge; 3 and commended, J B Kirkpatrick, Boardmills, Lisburn.
Ram lamb - 1, William A Bell, Fruithill, Hillsborough; 2, Samuel Holden, Ballygowan, Ballynure; 3, Alexander Minnis, Mossvale, Tullynagee, Comber; reserve, T and J Horner, Coach Road, Comber; highly commended, J H McConnell; commended, Graham and McCrum, Tullyvalen House, Tullyniskey, Dromara.
Ewe, any age - 1 and 3, James H Aiken, Carnew, Dromara; 2 and 4, Robert Mulligan.
Ewe lamb - 1 and 3 Graham and McCrum; 2, Samuel Black, Cashlandhu, Portstewart; 4, Eric Wright, Ballywillwill House, Castlewellan; reserve, Robert Mulligan; highly commended, James H Aiken.
Group of three - 1, Robert Mulligan; 2, William White, Dunlady, Dundonald; 3, Alexander Minnis; reserve, Samuel Black; highly commended, J H McConnell; commended, Samuel Holden.
Meanwhile at the sale which followed the show held at Balmoral by the Ulster Ram Breeders' Association, a third prizewinner ram lamb entered Mr Alexander Minnis of Mossvale, Tullynagee, Comber, realised the highest price of 115 guineas.
The buyer was Mr James Mawhinney of Crossnamuckley, Newtownards.
Next best price of 105 guineas was paid for a ram lamb which won a reserve class rosette for Messrs T and J Horner, Comber. The purchaser was Mr P J Lombard of Ballyhooley, Co Cork.
Hillsborough breeder Mr William A Bell's supreme champion ram lamb was knocked down for 100 guineas to Mr H A Lusby of Waterside, Londonderry.
Prices were well up on the previous year's sale, it was also noted that the sale was attended by several Eire buyers.
The show judge, Mr Roy Hughes of Oswestry, Shropshire, bought six animals and a Welsh breeder, Mr Don Wrench of Mold Flintshire, purchased a ram lamb for 50 guineas entered by Mr William White of Dundonald.

LG G Flex Shows Off Its "Self-heal" Power
Last month LG unveiled its curved screen smartphone called G Flex sporting a 6-inch vertically bent screen with 720p resolution. The G Flex announcement followed Samsung's Galaxy Round which was also unveiled in early October.
Unlike Samsung Galaxy Round, G Flex is a real new generation smartphone that is more than just a bent screen device. The video below released by LG shows off how the what they call "self-healing" technology works on the back of the Flex. This is the first time I heard and witness this kind of technology being featured in a gadget or anything that is man-made product. The only other thing or identity I know who posses this kind characteristics is Wolverine. Every body knows that. But he's not real, or course.
LG claims though that this kind of technology only works on light scratches that our smartphones gather on a day to day life and usage. Plus the length of time the back surface goes back to it original smoothness depends on the amount and severity of the scratches it is to get rid of.
Not only that, as the Android smartphone name suggests, the LG G Flex also sports flexible P-OLED screen which means, the phone itself is bendable and can take pressure when faced down or faced to a surface without breaking the display. That durability is also being showcased in the video below.
So what can you say after seeing the entire demonstration? Are convinced of the true power of the LG G Flex's curved and bendable screen and that healing factor? One other thing most tech enthusiasts wanted to know is the real technology or trick behind the self-heal feature which up until now is now being disclosed by LG so no one one won't know until maybe the G Flex is globally released. My question now is, what about the front panel or the screen? Although it is not marketed as having the same covering on the back, I hope it is strong enough not to gain any annoying scratches. But why not cover the whole smartphone of the said self-healing magic.

Ever wonder how to start a meditation practice? Or maybe rekindle one?
Since I have an 8-year history of doing both, I consider myself an expert. I'd like to offer you these really simple steps towards building your own practice.
1. Go to a new acupuncturist who asks you if you meditate. 2. Say yes. 3. Feel guilty that you either a) don't or b) haven't for at least three months. 4. Forget that conversation. 5. Remember it about a week later. 6. Check Twitter. 7. Check Facebook. 8. F*ck it, check Google+. 9. Look at your iPhone and decide to set your timer. 7 minutes seems good 'cause it's longer than you can hold your breath underwater. 10. Close your eyes. Some say you should keep your eyes slightly open but I find that too distracting. 11. Think of something you can repeat over and over an over so you don't freak out. I like to think of the words clear or God, but Justin Bieber will work too. 12. Marvel at your fortitude and decide you should write a blog about this. 13. Think, Ahh, this is nice. And then wonder if you should get your hair cut. 14. Get excited when your timer goes off. You did it! 15. Repeat.

awesome! great interview with peter vere. Greg, your rss feed seems to be working properly. How did you record the interview?
Jayson,Thanks for the kind words.The phone recording is very convoluted. I went to radio shack and bought a little adapter for my phone that plugs into a regular cassette player. The cheap-o phone I have made me sound like I was inside a tin can, but I thought Pete's audio sounded pretty good. After I record to a tape recorder, I used another radio with a headphone jack to record to the computer. I bought another $3 wire that connects from my headphone jack to the microphone jack of my PC. I then hit "play" on the tape player, and "record" on the PC's sound recorder (I've been using Audacity for the Podcasts, but would welcome other software suggestions). The PC then treated the audio going into the microphone jack the same as it would anything else coming in through the microphone line. And that's it! Does that make sense at all?
yes, that makes perfect sense. I figured that's why you did considering the audio quality. Great job though!I've been playing around with skype trying to record it. I think I've finally figured it out.Also, there was one part in the audio where you had two tracks playing at the same time!
Yeah, I noticed that goof-up too, but by that time I was just too tired to fix it! I figured only another podcaster would catch it. Looks like I was right!

2008 16
While travelling in the US I've been using these smartphones quite intensively and I have some random thoughts to share, from the point of view of a user.
The N95 is pretty expensive, the BlackBerry is cheaper while the iPhone 3G, now available in Europe, is generally sold at a subsidized price but with an expensive monthly plan for voice and data.
If I was on a desert island (with cell coverage) I would carry with me just the BlackBerry 8310, since what I do more frequently on my mobile is using email and the BlackBerry's QWERTY keyboard and push is better then any of the other 2 alternatives for that.
For GPS and navigation the BlackBerry 8310 has the best Google Maps version I've ever tried. In the US my iPhone had data traffic included and my BlackBerry with extremely expensive roaming charges for data, still it was hard resisting the temptation to use the BB. Whoever designed the Google Maps for the iPhone was not thinking of the user.
The keyboard on the BB is by far the best, next is the iPhone which is slow but doable, last is the Nokia N95. It is absurd to put so much intellect on the Nokia and make it…deaf.
As for music, the iPhone is by far the best, next the Nokia, last the BlackBerry for which music seems to be "glued on".
To look at pictures the only one that really works is the iPhone, the BlackBerry is bad and the Nokia N95 has the worst software for pictures I've ever seen (if you have a lot of pics, your phone will likely freeze). It's ironic how the Nokia is the best for taking pictures and still makes it so hard to look at both pixs and videos.
To use Twitxr, the iPhone is the best, next the BlackBerry, last the N95.
The iPhone has an awesome display, next is the N95, last the BlackBerry. The iPhone´s soul is the display but that makes it a "spectator" phone. The TV of phones. Great for watching, bad for input.
The Nokia N95 has the best camera and takes great videos. I can film with the iPhone using an app from Installer but it's pretty bad anyway, the BlackBerry they say it can do videos, I don´t have the latest firmware that does that.
The iPhone is great to watch movies in streaming or from its memory. The N95 is not so bad, on the BlackBerry it's terrible.
The BlackBerry has copy and paste, the iPhone still hasn't. The Nokia has it, but I've never tried because without a QWERTY keyboard I don't even bother using it for writing. Predictive text (T9) is not useful for me since I often change language. The iPhone software keyboard can easily adapt to different languages and you can quickly switch from one to the other.
At this point you may be wondering why I am not talking about the many Windows Mobile phones. My answer is because as bad as some features of the Symbian, Mac and Blackberry systems maybe they are all better than Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile seems to be designed with the same philosophy of Windows in general: tons of features that are unnecessary crowd the essential out. Try connecting to WiFi using Windows Mobile and you will see what I mean. Try with the iPhone and you can….breathe. Windows Mobile to me has the same problems as Vista. My take on operating systems is that easiest is Mac, best is Linux, Windows XP is already bad, frequently slow and difficult, Windows Vista is a dead end.
The phone that most resembles a computer is the iPhone, especially if jailbroken. The N95 is the more phone-like of the three. The BlackBerry is in between. If you just want to talk, a Nokia is your best option. The app store does not beat the installer for me. But at some point it may. I just like the freedom of the Installer. The Open Source spirit of the whole thing.
As for quantity of applications, the iPhone is the best, next is the Nokia with Symbian S60 and the BlackBerry is last. But while applications for BlackBerry are really few, most work very well and are very easy to use. The ones I use more often are Facebook and Google Maps with cellphone tower triangulation and GPS. The only app which performs really bad on my BB is Google Talk, which slows everything down.
The BlackBerry is SIM-unlocked, which makes it very expensive, especially when travelling abroad, since you can't change the SIM with one from a local operator. The N95 and my iPhone are unlocked. The iPhone 3G has not been jailbroken or unlocked yet, but it will be soon.
My iPhone is ok for email with EDGE, WiFi is much better for everything else we will see when I try the 3G one how it works but probably almost as good as WiFi. The problem with the 3G plans, the one in Spain for example is that if you download a big file, say a movie, you kill your data plan which is maxed at 200MB unless you pay a fortune. The BlackBerry has no WiFi and no UMTS so web browsing is always slow, but it's incredibly good for email. RIM has been able to squeeze GPRS and EDGE and optimize message downloading providing great speeds with little bandwidth. The Nokia N95 has everything from HSDPA to WiFi, but choosing a connection is slow, uncomfortable and the interface is badly designed.
With the iPhone's headphones you can't set the volume, with the N95's you can and this is much better for riding bikes for example which I do a lot. Music on the BlackBerry is just for emergencies.
The iPhone is by far the best phone to surf the web, look at pictures, listen to music… everything but writing. If it had a physical keyboard it would be the best on all aspects. The BlackBerry has the best mouse/keyboard integration. Using your fingers as a pointing device is an interesting concept in the iPhone but it forces you to always use both hands. This is not the best solution when you're in some situations, like when I'm holding my son in my arms. If you are left with one hand the iPhone is almost impossible to use. Not so the others.
To use FON the best smartphone is the iPhone. The N95 has a Symbian FON connection manager which is reasonably good, but the iFon application wecreated for the iPhone is the best in ease of use. The BlackBerry can't access FON networks.
To sync with a Mac or PC, the iPhone wins, next the BlackBerry, last the N95. The N95 has more advanced features but the iPhone and BlackBerry are easier and faster to use.
The N95 can now sync with iTunes, but the iPhone is still the easiest to sync with iTunes and iPhoto. I don't think the BlackBerry can talk with iTunes although somebody told me it does.
To save money the best is the N95 with which you can use many VoIP apps. Next is the iPhone that now has a very good Fring application (also available for Symbian devices). The worst is the BlackBerry that can't run any VoIP app. My thing though is that I speak very little on the phone. I use them for almost everything else.
As for design, the iPhone looks better then the others, but it's so slippery that it fell twice from my pocket. The N95 looks good and is reasonably sized. The BlackBerry is the most useful but the worst looking. My kids would not want to be seen with a Blackberry. They refuse to hold it.
The N95 gets an additional score for JoikuSpot, the software that lets you turn an HSDPA connection into WiFi and use your phone as a hotspot for PCs and other WiFi devices. The BlackBerry can't act as a modem, and the iPhone if it can I haven´t seen how. The N95 is great as a modem via Bluetooth or USB.
The BlackBerry has the best battery duration, while the iPhone's power consumption is terrible. They say the 3G iPhone improves on this. On the N95 it depends on what you do with it but batter life is a problem.
The N95 has the best external speaker, next the iPhone, the BlackBerry last.
To avoid accidental calls (your phone dialing numbers or contacts by itself) the worst is the BlackBerry, that loves to call your contacts while in your pocket, even if it has autolock. The iPhone and the N95 are better at avoiding those embarrassing moments in which you accidentally spill the beans.
Searching for a contact is terrible on the iPhone, ok on the N95, best on the BB.
The N95 also has some things that maybe of help. In Europe and some parts of Asia it has HSDPA which is better than 3G. It has radio if u like radio. The iPhone instead has some great apps to listen to internet radio over wifi in the Installer and on the App store as well.
The 3G iPhone is sold unlocked in some countries such as Italy for 500 euros which is not a crazy price. The Nokia N95 is also sold unlocked for the same price. BB is not cause is tied to a BB server somewhere.

Do you own the expertise in programming? Can you call yourself a master coder? If no, then it's time to hone your programming skills. Let's do it!
Becoming a skillful programmer means developing experience across a range of development tasks which includes algorithms, data structure, OOPS and many other technologies. So you can see it's not an easy goal to achieve and too many people out there aims to be a better developer without any sense of how to get there. Hence here are some actionable guidelines that can be your flowchart of becoming a good coder.
Let's have a look!
Write more code!
Good programmer writes a software that works but the great ones write a software that performs exceedingly well. And that excellent piece of software develops not at the first try, you have to re write it again and again, at least three times. Reason is when you write more code, you get to know your shortcomings and improve them. So write more code and find out your common errors and work accordingly.
Read Books !
There are so many accomplished authors out in the world who themselves are established programmers in the industry. They represent their experience in form of books and represent excellent examples of executable codes. So read as much books as you can and recognize what mistakes you are doing in your own code.
Stay active in the open source community !
Open source communities are the best place to learn coding. Here you can involve yourself in meaningful discussions between programmers around some critical problems. At these open source forums, you can find many complex coding puzzles to solve, can interact with some senior developers and can learn from their experiences.
Dedicate time to practice !
This is I guess the most essential one. Without practice you can't be a good programmer. SO dedicate a fix amount of time to practice data structure, algorithms and design related problems. This iteratively enhance your skills and you naturally become a better programmer.
So these are the stepping stones to be a good programmer. Let me know what you think about them in the comments below.

New Delhi, Nov 10 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Friday set up a five-judge constitution bench to hear a plea seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the role of a former Orissa High Court judge in a medical admission scam.
The decision by the top court came in response to the plea by the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms that had sought setting up of a SIT to probe the role of judge I.M. Quddusi in enabling private medical colleges to admit students to MBBS courses despite the Supreme Court barring the institutes from doing so.
The judge was arrested in September and is lodged in Tihar Jail here.
Quddusi, an Orissa High Court judge between 2004 and 2010, has been accused by the CBI of legally guiding the private medical colleges and assuring them of favourable settlement of their cases in the Supreme Court.

The Truth In Fiction: An Alzheimer's Awareness Month Reflection By Sheila Seiler Lagrand, Ph.D.
"No," I told him. "I make it up, but it has to be true or nobody would stick with the story." He shook his head. "How do you make up true stuff? That doesn't make sense."
"It does," I insisted. "If you make a character too perfect, no one can buy in. If you create a character who is purely evil, it's hard for a reader to accept. Life is messy and complicated, so tidy solutions to big problems don't fly."
I will admit that I was pleased that someone asked me about the craft of writing because I so often feel like pinching myself when I realize I have the privilege of sharing my words with others. But as I thought further about our conversation, I realized that there's another layer to this business of truth in fiction: In the course of writing my novel about Alzheimer's Disease, Remembering for Ruth, I discovered a truth that I didn't know I knew. It came to me as I wrote this exchange between the two brothers, Paul and Matthew, who are recognizing their mother's mental decline and trying to bridge years of estrangement:
"I do know," Paul retorted. "Of course I want her to be happy. I also want her, and us, to be safe. What if she set the house on fire? What if she wandered off in the middle of the night and was hit by a car? What if . . . what if she forgets who we are?" He studied a collection of canning jars adorning a shelf.
Even as I wrote it two years ago, that last sentence hit me right between the eyes.
A loved one in our family suffers from this miserable disease, and it hurts to see her struggle to place us. It's painful to watch for—and never see—the light of recognition in her eyes. But as long as we remember who she is, we can focus on treating her with love and protecting her dignity.

A little something special for you, courtesy of Page 3.
Happy Hadron Collider Day!
A little something special for you, courtesy of Page 3.
Happy Hadron Collider Day!
BBC – Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare
BBC – Fleetwood Pier in Lancashire
I call Morgan for the trifecta.
Hi everyone.
Well, after (almost) calling me a bully and publishing the bare minimum (One. Comment.) from a reported 60 submissions, the good people at the Daily Mail have completely failed to respond to my rebuttal and done nothing to clarify their recent statement about their comment moderation policy, so I guess they must really mean/believe what they're saying.
So, as much as it pains me to do this….
Could you please – via email – forward the following to everyone you know?
It's an important message that recipients will appreciate and remember you for.
==================== || ====================
Dear Readers of the Daily Mail and Mail Online,
1. Please do not visit the Daily Mail website and submit comments until further notice, as they have issued a statement saying; "We get more comments than we can possibly deal with and our moderation side hasn't been able to keep up."
2. Please forward a copy of this email to your family, friends and work colleagues.
Martin Clarke, editorial director of Mail Online, Britain's 'most popular' newspaper website, recently issued the following statement regarding comments submitted to online articles:
"If you want to complain about a story some days after it's published you have to take a more traditional view of things and write to the editor, the same as you would as if it was in the paper. We don't publish all the letters we get."
So please, if you have any criticism regarding any online article that's more than a few days old (e.g. objections to the inaccuracy of quotes, the omission of facts, the unreliability/distortion of figures, and/or the overall quality of reporting), do try to take a more traditional view of things and write to the editor privately. Perhaps in a letter.
There's no need to go sounding off electronically (and publicly) under 'comments', as it is unseemly and needlessly modern.
Mr Clarke would also like those readers wishing to submit comments of agreement or praise to the website to know that;
"In an ideal world we'd get every [non-libellous and inoffensive] comment published, but it's a hell of a job moderating 7,100 comments every day. We are reviewing our entire moderation policy. This is becoming more and more of an issue for us. We get more comments than we can possibly deal with and our moderation side hasn't been able to keep up."
So, until further notice, can EVERYBODY please STOP submitting ALL COMMENTS to the Daily Mail website? Staff simply cannot keep up with the current volume.
After all, there's a lot of work to do. Presently, there are articles going back as far as December 2005 that still invite readers to submit comments (that will probably never be published) because staff simply have not had the time to work out a way to close comments on old articles yet.
You can imagine how this compounds the problem, further adding to the huge number of comments submitted.
The Daily Mail obviously does not want to give the impression that they are accepting comments when they know that they have no capacity or intention to publish them, so the only logical option is to call 'time' on the whole affair until the editorial team get their act together.
This cycle must be broken for the site to move forward, and you can help by:
a) not submitting positive comments until further notice
b) submitting any negative comments via a 'more traditional' letter to the editor
Your patience is appreciated.
Please remember to forward this message to family, friend and work colleagues.
Tim Ireland
==================== || ====================
Go to it gang. Oh, and do keep a weather eye out for updates. The Daily Mail peeps might be a little quicker with their next response…. and there's no telling how polite this one is going to be.
I invite you to read this, watch the video and decided for yourself what's going on.
Personally, I think those bastards at The Sun have got a bloody nerve making their readers afraid for no good reason while stirring up trouble and poking this man with a stick. But that's just me.
For those who came in late:
Bloggerheads – Julie Moult is an idiot
Bloggerheads – The Daily Mail: let's kick arse and take names
Judith Townend – Campaign against Julie Moult 'smacks of bullying', says Mail Online: A widespread internet campaign against one of the Daily Mail's reporters 'smacks of bullying', according to the editorial director of its website. Speaking to Journalism.co.uk today, [Martin Clarke, editorial director of Mail Online] said the comments on the article in question were not published, because the story was already a few days old, and this was not an act of censorship. Users should use the feedback button on the site, which sends requests directly to Clarke, to complain about a story, he added. "If you want to complain about a story some days after it's published you have to take a more traditional view of things and write to the editor, the same as you would as if it was in the paper. We don't publish all the letters we get," he said. Clarke confirmed that 60 comments had been made on the article, but these remained unpublished as of Friday afternoon – until Ireland's original post was set live. '[I]n an ideal world we'd get every [non-libellous and inoffensive] comment published', but 'it's a hell of a job moderating 7,100 comments every day', he said. "We are reviewing our entire moderation policy. This is becoming more and more of an issue for us. We get more comments than we can possibly deal with and our moderation side hasn't been able to keep up. We're not into censoring comments – if that comment had been posted on the day or even the day after we would have probably got it up there."
Thank you, Judith Townend, for finally getting us somewhere with these people. I was beginning to feel like a forgotten member of the great unwashed for a bit there.
Let me just fire off a quick letter to Julie Moult before we proceed, because there are obviously hurt feelings to be nursed and boo-boos to be kissed:
Dear Julie,
I currently have plans for a little music-video victory dance and some prize-giving when the first real image results come in, and that's it, so you can relax.
I am sorry for being a little bit mean, but I think it is fair to say that you've given your fair share of grief in service to your evil overlords, so please understand when the apology section of this letter cuts short rightabouthere.
Don't expect any sympathy from me over anything reasonable that carries on beyond this without my help, unless it somehow goes Teh Full Kilroy, and you have to change your name and your face and your hair and go to live on a small island somewhere, and even there people are writing "Julie Moult is an idiot!" on walls because they saw it on a nearby island that has internets… in which case I might be inclined to think that maybe you'd had enough.
But even then I'd want to review some of your latest articles first, just in case I was wrong.
See, I did my homework, and you really have been an idiot. If you're somehow not totally responsible for all the stuff published in your name, then you've been an idiot for allowing the people who are truly/equally responsible to continue to put your name to their idiocy.
It is my sincere hope that one day soon you will be able to stop being an idiot, and from that moment you can count on me to defend your honour against all comers.
Everyone makes mistakes, that's why Nazi racoons have self-destruct mechanisms.
Tim Ireland
Thank you. You've been most patient.
And now, for Martin Clarke, editorial director of Mail Online, I have this:
1. Julie Moult is no innocent flower, it could have been far, far worse if I'd so much as pushed the snowball, and I find it delicious to be half-accused* of bullying by the Daily Mail.
[*Next time, fellas, don't be so shy. It's important that you stand up to bullies when you can and not show fear when you do.]
2. It is my own personal experience that even reasonable comments made in a timely fashion fail to make it past Mail moderators most of the time. Of course, these could be false memories implanted by magical Googlebomb pixies, so I invite the Daily Mail to share with me records of each and every comment submitted under my name ('Tim Ireland'), so we can see what's what.
3. And if they must stop accepting comments after a week, or maybe even "a few days", they should at least have the decency to do as The Guardian does and deactivate the comments facility when it is no longer in use. Look, here's another article I submitted a comment to over a year ago. I just captured this image of the page and, as you can clearly see, comments are still officially open and the text actually invites you to make a comment. All of the Mail's 'comment-ready' articles appear to be like this, and it's simply not good enough:
4. On his lecture about the correct or preferred ways to give feedback, I will remind Mr Clarke that the feedback link he describes is a lot further from the article than any invitation to submit a comment, is tucked up snug as you like in an upper navigation bar giving no indication of its purpose other than the name it was born with, and is such a recent addition to proceedings that it's still marked 'beta':
5. I also wish to hush Mr Clarke mid-word on 'complaint'. Yes, comments do allow one to make complaints, and the Daily Mail are not expected to publish every complaint, even if one isn't dealing with the limitations of print. But Mr Clarke is not going to lead me down that path quite so easily. This was more than a mere complaint. This. Was. A. Correction. It contained a complaint of sorts (about the fact that the correction was first issued by Google but someone didn't listen) but it was, I am sure any reasonable person would agree, a fair attempt to address a major factual error that even contained valuable new information (about the miracle of relevance; one of the "several factors including popularity" that would otherwise have passed without mention).
6. This, too, is what comments are for. At least, it is in the part of the internets where I come from. (I know of at least one influential
blogger cheat who differs on that point, and the rules appear to be different in his neighbourhood.) But if the Daily Mail are willing to try doing things my way for a bit, I'm sure I can attempt "a more traditional view of things" from time to time in return.
7. "It's a hell of a job moderating 7,100 comments every day"
a) It's a job, isn't it? And you're not out in the weather or digging ditches. Be grateful! (beat) That is what I imagine a Daily Mail reader might say to that. But I could be wrong.
b) Oh, boo-hoo. I've heard this one before, but it doesn't hold water. Either the Daily Mail can cope with their commitment to accepting comments on every article or they can't. They should not have articles live that give the impression that they been subjected to scrutiny and passed without comment when this simply isn't the case, as this betrays of the trust of readers.
8. OK, so 60 comments were submitted. I'm ready to believe that many of the later ones were along the lines of "Julie Moult is an idiot", but by the time the later comments were arriving, most web users would have assumed that there was no way anything was going to be published, and probably wished to make their displeasure known to the mods via comments they knew were never going to see the light of day (e.g. comments not unlike "Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood!", which is a fun phrase to slip into any busy paragraph that's likely to be read by a lawyer sipping hot coffee). If Mr Clarke does reveal any of these, I'd appreciate him not suggesting that any comments made by people frustrated by selfish moderation are the cause of selfish moderation. Nadine Dorries tried that trick, and it got her more laughs than support.
9. OK, so 60 comments were submitted, but from all of those comments, no-one mentioned anything worthwhile, such as the obvious problem with the practice of Google bombing supposedly starting "in the early 90s" (i.e. 5-6 years before Google existed)? Seriously? Happy to hear otherwise. Over to Mr Clarke on that one, I guess.
[Prepare for facepalm. I repeat: Prepare for facepalm.]
10. OK, so 60 comments were submitted. While I'm happy that they've finally published something, I'm really quite astonished and disappointed that this is the ONLY thing they've finally published under that article:
One. Comment.
[For regulars only: Does No. 10 seem like the kind of thing Uncle Iain would do before huffing; "Well, that's what you *wanted*, wasn't it? Tch. There's no pleasing you!".. or is it just me?]
UPDATE – Far be it from me to point out the blindingly obvious, but if the Daily Mail introduced the simple measure of comment registration, the rate of flippant and ill-thought-out comments would drop enormously. Immediately. If the system included user profiles that allowed readers to follow a hyperlink under a comment contributor's name to a profile, with that profile providing details of how long they'd registered and what other comments they'd contributed, *then* they'd have something approaching a sensible solution. This kind of thing will become more and more important as a general election approaches, as both of the main parties are shameless astro-turfers. (And to be fair, I should point out that The Guardian had registraton in place from the get-go over at CiF, but took ages to introduce profile links/pages.)
*deep sigh*
I'm just going through some data and I've happened across a little something that I missed in an earlier conversation….
The other day, Jennie Rigg was giving me stick for pursuing Iain over his ongoing lies, instead of just ignoring* him.
(*Ignoring him and thereby – in theory – rendering his efforts inert. Once the trend is a little more universal, of course.)
Now, I do not want to pick on Jennie, I don't want to make a big thing of this, and I can see and understand the temptations involved. I will also readily admit that I have it much easier than most other political bloggers, as I am a long way from having to struggle for an audience.
(Because of the way many people seeking to cloud this issue have been playing this, I need to waste a sentence here to point out that the latter observation is not a dig. At anyone.)
But c'mon… what is this?
"The best thing you can do – the best thing we ALL can do – is ignore [Iain Dale]. The more people talk about him, the more he becomes interesting. If we all stop talking about him (and yeah, I know, I've been guilty of that myself the past few days) then he ceases to be relevant." – Jennie Rigg, Aug 31 (source)
What Jennie refers to in the above comment is a criticism of Dale over Facebook pokery, but what appears below is an extract from the post she refers to earlier in the conversation (i.e. the little something that I missed). In that post, it turns out that she completely fails to ignore Iain Dale and instead encourages her readers to play his reindeer games. This is not "talking about" Iain Dale but actively fuelling his main attention-seeking machine (which, ingeniously, runs on other peoples' wishes for more attention):
"Iain Dale wants your votes for political blog of the year. I'd be very amused if nobody at all voted, but there's little chance of that, and I'd probably be more amused if lots of liberal and leftie blogs made it into his charts. Vote Mortimer! Of course, for your vote to be eligible, it has to be for a blog that's already on the TP blogroll. You can submit blogs to the blogroll here [link]." – Jennie Rigg, Jul 21 (source)
When Iain Dale is not passing his poll off as an unscientific bit of fun, he is bolstering it with claims that it is representative, and he would not be able to do this if enough people from the left refused to take part in it in any way. For a signal of the importance of this point is to Iain, note how Iain plays down the importance of any boycott in his final flourish.
Jennie may have a point when she says that my attempts to highlight the flaws behind the poll merely promote the poll itself (and it is a compelling point, as Iain Dale is a consummate bullshit artist, resilient even to evidence that he himself has published proving him to be a cheat), but her capacity to argue that point with any credibility goes up in a wee puff of smoke when she participates in the poll herself… right down to carrying a badge for the result on her blog:
So if any blogger who didn't participate in Iain's poll and isn't carrying one of his little badges of approval on their website wants to have a go and pick up where Jennie left off, the floor is open.
Otherwise, I still say that Dale's deeply flawed poll warrants scrutiny over weary acceptance.
UPDATE – Bugger. I note that I posted this at the same time that Jennie was announcing that that she was taking a pre-conference break. Still, it does nothing to change the fact that she's left an opening, so do step forward if you think you can fill it. I'm sure we can stick to the point while leaving any comments on Jennie's specific actions for later, when she's around and able to have her say on it.
Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan tell us in a candid moment that the U.S. presidential race is over. In their view, because of Palin.
But in her most recent column, Noonan says pretty much the exact opposite.
Enjoy the laughs.
PS – Alaska is close to Russia! Alaska is close to Russia!
[UPDATE (06 Sep) – Exciting NEW link! –> The Daily Mail (actually, genuinely) responds at last! <-- Will have no impact on this post, as its work is done and plans are afoot. Mwahahahahaha!]
[You know this is going to be a fun post, because it comes in two exciting parts. Please stand by to share with family and friends and any bloggers you might now… there's plenty of names to be taken and arses to be kicked.]
Part One
It is now a week since I first went on the record and declared that Julie Moult is an idiot.
The article that started all of this is riddled with errors and fallacies, but the two that most people find easiest to grasp are as follows:
1. What Moult describes is not a Google bomb, and Google themselves have pointed this out.
2. Google bombing did not start "in the early 90s" (i.e. 5-6 years before Google existed).
Got that part?
I now invite you to take a closer look at the article… just to see if you can see what I can see:
Have you spotted it yet?
Maybe you'd care to look closer:
Yes, for starters, it's apparent that the article has not been updated since 11:25 PM on 22nd August 2008, despite the presence of two glaring errors.
Many bloggers and other web users are aware of those glaring errors. In fact, literally tens of thousands of web users have taken an interest in my article, those errors and the author behind them (including people at 36 different workstations at Associated Newspapers, according to my stats).
As I mention here, I initially sought to bring one of those errors to their attention via comments (the good people at the Daily Mail make a big deal about their allowing comments under every article, yes they do).
I submitted this; "What you describe here is not a Googlebomb, but what Google regards to be relevant image result. Google themselves told you that, but you didn't listen."
And…. ah, I see that almost everybody out there can now see what I see… but just in case there is any lingering doubt, let's zoom in even closer:
Yep, that's right.
No comments. Not one.
Let's take a look at that again, just in case we missed one:
Nope. Not a sausage.
After thousands and thousands of visitors that have dropped by knowing that there is something wrong with this article, not one comment has been published about it and not one change has been made.
And if that's not bad enough, The Daily Mail then go on to lie about it:
"No comments have so far been submitted"…?
What a pack of lying bastards.
Rather than admit that they made a mistake, the Daily Mail have instead followed the example set by Iain Dale; they have let outright falsehoods stand, resisted any attempt to address the matter via comments, and also given the false impression that the article has been subject to reader scrutiny all this time.
And it looks like they've been at it for years.
MINI-UPDATE – As I write this, I discover that Stewart Kirkpatrick submitted a comment, too. I'm sure there are plenty of others who have shared a similar experience involving this article alone. This self-serving censorship happens all the time at the Daily mail website and every savvy web user knows it.
Part Two
I waffled on a bit in that first part. I'll try to be more direct and to the point in this next part. How's this for starters?
This Googlebomb nonsense is the mere tip of the iceberg. I've seen far worse, and odds are that you have too.
I've had a gutful of the Daily Mail making their readers worry about stuff just isn't real. I think they're well overdue for some serious scrutiny and I find myself in a unique position to do something about that… with your help.
– Bigdaddymerk runs Daily Mail Watch, which is currently one of the top search results for 'daily mail' and only a quick refit away from being a serious contender for top search results relating not only to that tabloid's name, but also key articles, issues and columnists. I've been in touch, and he's keen to play ball.
– I've just brought a dozen or so editors together for The Sun: Tabloid Lies. It's early days, but I think I'm onto something with the specialty-based work-sharing and the tactic of documenting clear and obvious cases of this tabloid deceiving the reader.
The rest writes itself.
If you are the author of an established weblog, and you would consider committing maybe an hour or two a week to documenting the lies and falsehoods of the Daily Mail (focusing on a subject, speciality or columnist of your choosing), then I'd like you to get in touch using the following email address:
bloggerheads DOT com AT googlemail DOT com
[Note – Make sure to include the URL of your weblog (and/or links to any past articles you have written about the Mail), plus any task preferences you may have and/or any special skills you can bring to the table. I'd also like to hear from anyone who thinks they can help with the practical side of the build and/or anyone who would be more interested in targeting The Sun… or maybe even The Express, a tabloid that's full of righteous anger and owned by a pornographer.]
Then, shortly, we'll all sit down with Bigdaddymerk and have a private chat about tasks, missions, and tactics.
Ideally, the broad aim of the new Mail project will be to waste less time barking at the liars, by instead reaching out to the readers who are subjected to their lies on a daily basis.
Those readers will probably never change their politics or stop worrying about young people causing cancer and affecting house prices, but they may calm down a bit and they might even stop buying the Mail every day if they realise that a lot of the stuff in it has been invented, misrepresented, or blown out of all proportion.
So what do you say, internets?
I say those bastards at the Mail are due a jolly good kicking.
I say the time has come for us to form an
ugly mob orderly squad and pile on blindly cut into their circulation with surgical precision.
UPDATE – Heh. Don't be afraid to throw your hat in, but I'd best point out before it's too late that competition for the Richard Littlejohn gig is already fierce.
Just so you know, according to Kuro5hin, the unpleasant rumours about Palin's family started life as a troll on SomethingAwful.
Iain Dale has ignored my specific request not to be involved in his inherently biased weblog poll, and has just deleted this comment of mine from under this post on his 'weblog':
I don't believe you, Dale.
I blogged about this, and I even emailed you about it weeks ago.
I did not want to be part of this charade, and I said so very clearly and quite specifically.
I regard it to be damaging to my reputation to have anyone in this field think that I would endorse your poll or participate in your poll in any way. That includes allowing myself to be included in it and ranked by it…. even if you do pass it off as a bit of fun when it suits you.
We even went over this A YEAR AGO when you got in touch and were forced to drop me from your Who's Who for this same reason.
And yet you've gone ahead and done it anyway.
Have you seriously gone to print including my name and weblog in your charts when I have refused to take part in the past and have clearly expressed my wish to NOT take part this year?
I seriously do not want to appear in his book of charts, and I told him so. Apparently, it's already gone to print and today I find out that – despite my wishes – Iain has me listed as a participant in the poll.
What are my options?
UPDATE (03 Sep) – May I begin by pointing out that Iain Dale is a big, fat liar?
"Yes, you emailed me privately. And I do what I always do with all of the hundreds of other emails which you hassle me with. I put it straight in the Junk box. And then I did the same with the next one. And the next." – Iain Dale (Aug 29)
"I keep all the emails I get from Ireland. You never know when they might come in useful. I can find no email from him saying he didn't wish to be included in the poll. Normally when he goes off on one he barrages me with copies of various emails has sent. Some of his emails go straight into my Spam folder anway, so it's perfectly possible that this one did." – Iain Dale (Sep 02)
(Note – He wasn't talking about the 'poll' email specifically on Aug 29, but one of the
hundreds dozens I've sent him earlier this year. These number in the dozens only because Iain keeps ignoring them or pretending not to have seen them. It is also possible that Iain will inisist that there is no lie or contradiction here because he used the word 'junk' and not 'delete'.)
Not that his not seeing the email matters, as Iain himself described my actions as a 'boycott', and unless he's going to claim that he doesn't know what the word means, my post alone should have been enough for him.
But it's nice of him to acknowledge – in his own special way – that he would have acted differently had he seen my email.
Then again…
"But either way, I don't really care if he wished to be included in the poll or not." – Iain Dale (02 Sep)
Ah. My bad. So what Iain is saying here is that – even if he had known for sure that I didn't want to be involved in or associated with this poll in any way – he would have included me anyway.
The following point has already been raised (and ignored), but it's similar to the point I raised with Total Politics yesterday (gosh, I hope they get my email) and it applies now more than ever:
Instead of honouring this request, Iain Dale went ahead and included me anyway, the upshot being that the poll is now – through no fault of mine, because I DID NOT WISH TO BE INCLUDED – actually specifically biased against my weblog because I was included in the poll (against my wishes) as I urged my readers not to vote.
Dale knows this. He's not a complete idiot, and he must know how voting works because he lost an election once.
UPDATE (04 Sep) – Well, there you have it. I sent several emails seeking a reasonable and peaceful solution to this yesterday, and Iain ignored them all.
Iain Dale, who goes on and on and on about how he gets picked on for no reason, has decided to go ahead and be difficult about it by including me in this chart and peppering this post, which includes the following highlights:
"Liberal Conspiracy encouraged a boycott of the whole exercise…"
No. They didn't. Sunny Hundal did. Iain knows this and was reminded of it several times. But it's in his interest to make something more of it than there is, so he just lies about it. Speaking of which…
"Absolute Unique Visitors (is now) the yardstick by which blogs are judged…"
Pfft! As if Iain doesn't recall why this is the case for him especially. And he's lecturing newspapers for their misleading use of meaningless use of metrics?
Well, he's clearly taking the piss.
Remember this any time Iain tries to get anyone to take this poll of his seriously (trust me, he will) or asks you to trust him with any position of power; he diddled this result just to have one over on me.
He's a vagina.

Getting Over Post Travel Blues5.11.14

Travelling. The way I've always seen it, is that it's the only thing where you spend money but become richer.
I've not spoken to anyone who has said they don't want to travel, or those who did originally say that changed their minds on the matter.
If it fit the definition, I would almost call it a rite of passage. Maybe to some people it is.
It's a wonderful, exciting thing to do, and there is nothing better than being in a city you don't know, in complete awe of everything around you. How big it is. How bright it is. How historic it is. There's so much culture surrounding you. So many stories that you're yet to find out about, but oh my... how you want to find out. That feeling of educating yourself about things you never thought would interest you before then. Things that have nothing to do with the life you normally live at home, in reality, but it doesn't matter, because here you are. Another place. Another time. Another life to live right now. Living for the moment. For the next sight to see. For the next fact to learn.
Living for you.
So, what do you do when you come back home? When you come back to reality?
Well... you go back, to what now seems like such a mediocre life. Back to the 9-5 job. Back to looking after the kids. Back to the cooking. The cleaning. The life that now just seems so...bleh.
Don't get me wrong. You love your job, you love your kids. The cooking, absolutely. Cleaning...eh not so much. But there's just something... missing now. You've explored the world, or parts of it. And now you're back in your part of it, back to what you had been doing before. Or something similar anyway.
How do you get over it? Those post travel blues? A week, a month, two months, from arriving home. It hits you. You're not travelling any more. You can't do something for the hell of it, because who cares, you could only be here once.
How do you find a way to love the life you're living? The life you're going to have before your next adventure?
For me, the way I'm getting over my post travel blues is simple. I'm falling in love with my city again.
I fell in love with all these amazing places while I was away. And yes, to some people, they might not be that amazing. Maybe you live there, maybe your love of your city is gone. Maybe you just don't see it. But for me, these cities... I just adore them. I ache to go back to New York, to visit all the places I couldn't see in my few days there. I long for the days I can go back to Anchorage to visit my grandma and the friends I made in my short time there. I wish for the days I add more cities, more countries, to my list of places I've travelled.
But for now, I'm here. In my own city, which I need to learn to love again. I need to stop aching for my next lot of travels, and start travelling in my own backyard.
I need to let myself remember that there are amazing things to do here, within an hour of my house. I need to get out and do things instead of moping at home, wishing I was overseas still.
I need to go to the parks, the beaches, the museums, and all of the other wonderful places around me. Learn things about my city, and my country, that I don't yet know. Be excited to learn these things.
Yes, I still have to work, but I have the weekends. I have to make the time to do this exploring. If I don't, I'll forever have my post travel blues.
There will be more adventures in the future. More chances to fall in love with places I've yet to go. But for now, my city will do, and I'll make my own adventures around here.
Like waves at the beach, or the sand running through your fingers. Opportunities come and go. Travelling being one of them. The hardest part, is deciding how to figure it out once they're gone. How to move on with it.
Try falling back in love with the places around you, maybe then you'll remember why it's home, and why you'll always come back.

Driving becomes difficult and even the roads become unsafe for road users especially the pedestrian when the operator or driver of a motor vehicle is mentally and physically impaired. However, the following factors among others can affect you when driving:
- Use of non-prescription medication
- Emotional state of the driver
- Medical condition or sickness of the driver
- Use of alcohol before driving
- Use of prescription medicine may also affect you.
- Eating or drinking while driving.
- Use of illegal drugs
- Fatigue
- Reading or writing while driving
- Use of tobacco or smoking while driving
Since, everyone expects safe and courteous drivers to use the road, and then it will be better if drivers can avoid all these factors that can lead to unsafe driving.

The FDIC-insured Chicago branch of State Bank of India (www.sbichicago.com), India's largest bank, which operates independently of other U.S. branches, offers the second-best rate of 1.41% APY and requires a $2,500 minimum deposit.

http://Loganleafishery.co.uk Thought I would squeeze in a session after work. As it is getting dark early it was going to be a short session. I invited my friend Alan whom I have been rather unsuccessfully (on my part) been trying to teach him the finer arts of the angle. The wind had been blowing hard all day and as we were about to go afloat I was a wee bit concerned. How right that was, we weren't allowed to take a boat out onto the white horse strewn water in fact the gale blowing toward the dam was so strong we couldn't fish at all. Its a difficult water to fish on a good day from the bank due to the steepness and height above the water. There was 2 anglers fishing the only castable part at the river end with the wind behind them, anyway we had no waders. So it was a non starter, so we went to the Flotterstone Inn for a lovely pint http://www.flotterstoneinn.com End of story.

We released "Freeman's Days. Day One" after four years of production, though planned to finish it in six months.Such
long period of filming explained, first of all, inaptitude to shoot
films. In process we began to understand for what are necessary such
trifles as thorough planning, storyboard, markers on rear screen and
etc. :))) Also ineradicable slovenliness is affected to all personnel of
the filming crew. On the other hand, we began to understand by learning
on the mistakes and finds, that we can reshoot of earlier scenes with
considerably best composition, picture, light, game of actors and etc.
As a result some scenes had to reshoot three or four times. And then,
that not to slip into the infinite improvements, it was necessary to
stop. Maybe we did it late. We think, that we did it early - 60% of the
existing material we would like to reshoot. But conscience doesn't allow
to pull further. But now we precisely know how to achieve a beautiful
picture and competently to build filming process. But we are very far
from real filming with their budget, equipment and experts.Anyway,
shootings and production "FD. Day Two" will take less time, than it was
required on production of the first part. The second part will be. Also
in the project the prequel about Kramer's and Dragunov's past, in which
we want better to open these characters and tell their story.

CLEVELAND – June 24, 2015 – Oswald Companies' health and wellness division, osWell Health Management, has released a new Wellness Playbook: "The Diversity Divide in Wellness Programming: Appreciating and Leveraging Cultural Competency to Engage All Employees" available for free download.
In the Wellness Playbook, osWell Senior Health Management Consultant Danielle Klassen outlines how organizations can identify diversity that exists within their employee population, and then maximize employee engagement through cultural competency in action: awareness, attitude, knowledge and skills.
By recognizing cultural differences, such as those that exist among health beliefs, practices, cultural needs and linguistic needs, a wellness program can be better tailored to meet the needs of a diverse population and ultimately produce positive health outcomes.
In addition to this premise, osWell also provides "Wellness in Action" features based on experiences with hundreds of clients, from a wide range of sizes and industries.
"Cultural competency is especially necessary in organizations with a diversified workforce," said Klassen. "Embracing cultural competency will assist in successfully implementing wellness programs and maximizing employee participation and engagement."
About osWell Health Management
osWell Health Management integrates with clients' current benefits strategy, and provides a team of wellness professionals, to implement and launch corporate wellness initiatives. The goal is to reduce risk, cost, worry and work for clients, making their businesses better with the right health management resources to drive results.

Even here in Leavenworth County, pro-abortion people will go to any means to prevent the truth of abortion from being revealed. Some now resort to breaking, entering and stealing to try to stop the truth from being disclosed.
On the night of July 24, someone broke the lock on the door to the exhibit building at the county fair. Although there were many things of value in the building, the thieves took only one thing – the display of life-size unborn baby models in development from 12 to 26 weeks. Police have stated that the probability of these criminals being caught is about nil.
For years, Kansans for Life has staffed a booth at the county fair. We provide free literature, bumper stickers, balloons and pins that show the size and shape of a baby's feet at 10 weeks.
What gets the most attention, however, is the display of life-size models that track the development of a baby in the womb. Children especially are drawn to this display. They can pick up the models, feel their weight and see their size. They can see that the only difference between a baby at 12 weeks and a baby at 26 weeks is size. Quite often, a pregnant mother with her children will show them the model that corresponds to the size of the baby growing inside of her. For those who want them, we offer a model of a baby at 12 weeks.
We observe some people averting their eyes from the display. Whether the models become an inconvenient truth for those wedded to abortion or whether someone might feel guilt for having aborted her own child, we do not know. For whatever reason, there are those who cannot or will not look at the models.
Having children and others see that an unborn baby looks like a baby at birth is anathema to the pro-abortion crowd. The thieves who stole the models are too cowardly, too ignorant or too blind to debate the reality of what those models represent. They have no logical scientific argument over the facts that confront anyone who sees the models. Those who worship at the altar of abortion have their minds made up and cannot tolerate any fact that demonstrates clearly the humanity of the unborn.
So rabid are the pro-abortion people that they are apoplectic anytime a state passes laws that require the mother to view a sonogram before having an abortion. The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) calls such viewing "unethical and demeaning." It is unethical to show a woman what is inside her body prior to removing it? Demeaning means "causing someone to lose their dignity." Non-invasive sonograms cause someone to be demeaned, but an invasive procedure that kills an unborn child is not "causing someone to lose their dignity?" What kind of twisted logic is that?
NARAL states that showing a mother a sonogram of her unborn child is "to intimidate, shame and harass women who seek abortion." If abortion is such a great thing for women, why would they be intimidated, shamed and harassed when seeing the sonogram? If the baby is nothing but a blob of tissue rather than a human being, why would a woman feel shamed by aborting it?
NARAL and their evil ilk are afraid to show the truth to a major source of revenue. Some mother, after seeing the truth, may decide to keep her baby. That results in a loss of income for Planned Parenthood and other such abortuaries. Pregnant women must not be allowed to see the truth.
Intolerant pro-abortion groups have destroyed at least 40 pro-life displays at universities, including Northern Kentucky University, Texas State University, George Washington University, Miami University and the University of Texas. Seeing the reality of abortion cannot be allowed; the reality must be destroyed.
Or, in Leavenworth County, the truth must be stolen.
The fetal models are very expensive. If you would like to help us purchase another set of these models, please send a check to Kansans for Life, P.O. Box 164, Lansing, KS, 66043.

Echterling Homes is committed to building 100% of our homes at or above Energy Star standards, just look for the ENERGY STAR label to find qualifying homes. Echterling Homes ENERGY STAR qualified homes are at least 15 percent more energy efficient than homes built to the 2009 International Residential Code (IRC). Many of our homes have earned the ENERGY STAR label and are verified to meet EPA's guidelines for energy efficiency. Our ENERGY STAR qualified homes achieve energy savings by using quality materials, proven building techniques, and reliable building partners.
Home buying is complex enough without having to know all the details of energy-efficient construction. Instead, look for the government-backed ENERGY STAR label to easily identify homes that are truly energy efficient. Find the house of your dreams and enjoy peace of mind knowing that it also meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating-delivering $200 to $400 in annual savings. Over the average 7 to 8 years you may live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills. Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial. Financing your home purchase using an energy efficient mortgage can also lead to savings.
Properly installed energy-efficient improvements deliver better protection against cold, heat, drafts, moisture, pollution, and noise. An energy-efficient home helps ensure consistent temperatures between and across rooms, improved indoor air quality, and greater durability.
To date, close to 3,500 home builders have partnered with EPA to construct more than 750,000 ENERGY STAR qualified homes. By the end of the decade, more than 2 million homes are expected to earn the ENERGY STAR. The trend is clear. By choosing a home with the ENERGY STAR label, you can be confident that it will have an increasingly valued feature when the time comes to sell.
Did you know that your home can be a greater source of pollution than your car? In fact, 16 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the energy used in houses nationwide.
Energy used in our homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and global warming. Simply put, the less energy we use in our homes, the less air pollution we generate.
Properly installed and inspected insulation in floors, walls, and attics ensures even temperatures throughout the house, reduced energy use, and increased comfort. Learn more about Properly Installed Insulation
Energy-efficient windows employ advanced technologies, such as protective coatings and improved frames, to help keep heat in during winter and out during summer. These windows also block damaging ultraviolet sunlight that can discolor carpets and furnishings. Learn more about Qualified Windows
Sealing holes and cracks in the home's "envelope" and in heating and cooling duct systems helps reduce drafts, moisture, dust, pollen, and noise. A tightly sealed home improves comfort and indoor air quality while reducing utility and maintenance. Learn more about Efficient Duct Systems
In addition to using less energy to operate, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems can be quieter, reduce indoor humidity, and improve the overall comfort of the home. When properly installed into a tightly sealed home, this equipment won't have to work so hard to heat and cool the home. Learn more about:
ENERGY STAR qualified homes may also be equipped with ENERGY STAR qualified products — lighting fixtures, compact fluorescent bulbs, ventilation fans, and appliances, such as refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines. Learn more about ENERGY STAR qualified products:
With the help of independent Home Energy Raters, ENERGY STAR builder partners choose the most appropriate energy-saving features for their homes. Additionally, raters conduct onsite testing and inspections to verify the energy efficiency measures, as well as insulation, air tightness, and duct sealing details. Learn more about Independent Inspection and Testing
