For Sale - 2003 E39 M5, 111K, $18,500 - New Clutch and Flywheel
Hi All,
Up for sale is my 2003, E39, M5 in Titanium Silver Metallic with black extended leather interior. Reason for the sale is that I work in sales and need to get a car that is a little more customer friendly too many comments about how sales must be good. Additionally I need a car that can fit (4) full size adults comfortably for long trips.
This car is an amazing ride you truly get the feel for the road BMW M5 experience and the car is responsive to say the least. Any work required has been performed and the car had a
new LUK ( OEM Equipment ) clutch, flywheel, and all associated components
installed at 92k. BMW enthusiasts know that this model is the one to own Asking price is $18,500 and consistent with KBB value. My location is Anderson, SC right between Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC.
I am the 3rd owner and have kept detailed records of all service and repairs as you will see below. The 1st owner had all service done at the original dealer and I have those records available. The 2nd owner only had the car for about 5,000 miles but had service performed by BMW of Arlington.
Everything works well on this car The major and minor repairs that needed to be done have been performed by Bimmer Specialist of Greenville, SC. There are no body dents and the paint looks great however there are small marks on the bumper/hood consistent with wear for a car with 111k miles.
Car Details ( 2003 M5 ):
Chassis Number: CF93022
Interior Trim Code: Black Extended Leather
Exterior Color Code: Titanium Silver Metallic
Vehicle Production Date: 2003/02
Mileage: Approximately 111,000k ( It is my daily driver )
Asking Price: $18,500
No Warranty: conditions of sale are as-is.
History: Clear Title, 3-owner
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Engine Write-Up:
The E39 M5 had a highly tuned V8 engine based on the M62 engine called the S62, which displaced 4.9 litres and produced 294 kW (400 PS; 394 bhp). The engine featured a 7,000 rpm redline, Double-VANOS, which varies the intake and exhaust valves timings for both cylinder banks, and individual throttle butterflies for each of the cylinders, allowing for a much faster engine response time.
M features:
M-sport steering wheel, BMW sport-style seats, M-sport mode and traction-control buttons, M5 Wheels, and M5 Valve Stem Caps.
Everything works:
There are no SES/check-engine codes. I have done about $5,200 in service on this vehicle. If something was wrong, I had it fixed. The clutch and flywheel were replaced about 92,000 miles. The spark plugs and main fluids ( transmission, differential, power steering ) have just been replaced. The CarFax does show accidents back in 2003 (2,493 miles) and 2006 (22,050 miles) when the car was with the first owner. According to the owner then and mechanic I had inspect the car, these were minor and fixed properly. The car suffers no effects from the accidents.

The car gets about 21.5 MPG overall. I have one been tracking a trip calculator for the past 10,000 miles and average 21.5 MPG.
Bottom line:
This BWM is driven for work by a married professional adult and has not been tracked. I work in sales and the vast majority of the miles that I put on this car are highway. Typically I get in the car and drive for 2-3 hours, have a meeting (golf), and drive home. Additional pictures of wheels, interior, exterior are available on request. This car has been very well cared for and maintained properly.

Education professor: to teach is to serve
By: Frenche Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691
Gloria Boutte follows the teaching of a famous Brazilian educator, allowing his philosophy about helping the oppressed to be a guiding principle for her life and giving purpose to her career as an educator.
"I also have a deep love for humanity, so I see my work as having a divine purpose, and my goal is to see what I can do on behalf of humanity," Boutte says.
Part of this purpose is rooted in Boutte's childhood, growing up during the turmoil of the Civil Rights Movement in the South.
"I remember early on not liking to see people treated unfairly and when I read the works of Paulo Freire a Brazilian educator, or W.E. Dubois, or Mahatma Ghandi---all of them talk about how even as children, things bothered them. So some of it might be a disposition that certain people are born with," Boutte says.
Boutte has devoted her career to fighting oppression in the classroom, and not just talking about it, but working to achieve real results.
As a professor in early childhood education, Boutte strives to help future teachers understand that the demographics in classrooms are changing. In response to these changes, Boutte, and early childhood faculty have transformed the largest pre-service teacher program in the state in order to better prepare future teachers on issues of equity.
"We tell them, 'you're going to spend time in communities learning about different people, talk about issues of poverty, issues of different languages—all of that is going to be a part of every course you take,'" Boutte says.
In her work as a "freedom scholar," Boutte aims to teach educators how to fight against oppression in schools. She says this is beneficial not only for kids of color, but for white kids too.
Boutte sees her role as educator provocateur to help people effectively teach all students and really get beyond the rhetoric. Her mission is to train educators how to recognize and interrupt oppression, which she says may be veiled in school practices, policies, instruction, curriculum and assessment.
Boutte says the work is difficult because many educators believe that discrimination no longer exists. She says despite the best intentions, but without the knowledge of how oppression works, many educators inadvertently contribute to it. In her quest to help them understand how to be better teachers, Boutte views her job as important and exciting work.
When her students graduate into their teaching professions, Boutte wants them to think about teaching students of color, students of poverty, and students who speak another language, as something that's exhilarating, not something to be dreaded, but to be excited about it.

Thursday, December 31 2009 - Other Important News
More Censored News
A few of the many other important stories at the Media Freedom Foundation and Dailycensored.com:

The Hyperrealilty of a Failing Corporate Media System
By Andrew Hobbs and Peter Phillips
Hyperreality is the inability to distinguish between what is real and what is not. Corporate media, Fox in particular, offers news that creates a hyperreality of real world problems and issues. Consumers of corporate television news--especially those whose understandings are framed primarily from that medium alone--are embedded in a state of excited delirium and knowinglessness.
Corporate Media hasn't acted as a cohesive, protective "fourth estate" in several decades, instead gilding lilies such as the Iraq war, torture and the true extent of Hurricane Katrina's devastation. Contemporary corporate news is best seen in a post-modern context of hyperreality. The news from US networks is based on the presentations of partially factual stories framed inside socio-emotional story lines that juxtapose "evil" with patriotism and Christian fervor. There are multiple examples of this, but we will examine two distinct cases.
The bias towards hyperreality inherent in modern media is so rampant, consumers only need turn on the TV to be exposed to the spin. Two notorious, controversial modern figures will be examined here to explain what we mean by a hyperreality of knowinglessness. News coverage of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and right-wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh are unique examples, primarily because of their perceived opposing views and their unapparent similarities. But they are similar in that both should have little operable relevance to American policy, at least domestically, as one is an entertainer and the other is the leader of another country. They both are media personalities as well: Limbaugh claims an audience of 20 million a week,1 while Chavez hosts a telecast every Sunday through which he speaks to millions of people of Venezuela. Further, they are both strongly ideological in their pursuit of their beliefs, which seem diametrically opposed to each other.
Unfortunately, they both have ill-gotten relevance, ironically at least partially gleaned from the massive amount of attention turned to them by their press adversaries. This allows an opportunity for analysis: what is the public consequence of attention, be it positive or negative? ...
Inside the Military Media Industrial Complex: Impacts on Movements for Peace and Social Justice
By Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff
Among the most important corporate media censored news stories of the past decade, one must be that over one million people have died because of the United States military invasion and occupation of Iraq. This, of course, does not include the number of deaths from the first Gulf War nor the ensuing sanctions placed upon the country of Iraq that, combined, caused close to an additional one million Iraqi deaths. In the Iraq War, which began in March of 2003, over a million people have died violently primarily from US bombings and neighborhood patrols. These were deaths in excess of the normal civilian death rate under the prior government. Among US military leaders and policy elites, the issue of counting the dead was dismissed before the Iraqi invasion even began. In an interview with reporters in late March of 2002 US General Tommy Franks stated, "You know we don't do body counts."[i] Fortunately, for those concerned about humanitarian costs of war and empire, others do.
In a January 2008 report, the British polling group Opinion Research Business (ORB) reported that, "survey work confirms our earlier estimate that over 1,000,000 Iraqi citizens have died as a result of the conflict which started in 2003. We now estimate that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 is likely to have been of the order of 1,033,000. If one takes into account the margin of error associated with survey data of this nature then the estimated range is between 946,000 and 1,120,000."[ii]
The ORB report came on the heels of two earlier studies conducted by Dr. Les Roberts and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University and published in the Lancet medical journal. The first study done from January 1, 2002 to March 18, 2003 confirmed civilian deaths at that time at over 100,000. The second study published in October 2006 documented over 650,000 civilian deaths in Iraq since the start of the US invasion and confirmed that US aerial bombing in civilian neighborhoods caused over a third of these deaths. Over half the deaths were directly attributable to US forces. The now estimated 1.2 million dead six years into the war/occupation, included children, parents, grandparents, cab drivers, clerics and schoolteachers. All manner of ordinary Iraqis have died because the United States decided to invade their country under false pretenses of undiscovered weapons of mass destruction and in violation of international law. An additional four to five million Iraqi refugees have fled their homes The magnitude of these million-plus deaths and creation of such a vast refugee crisis is undeniable. The continuing occupation by US forces has guaranteed a monthly mass death rate of thousands of people a carnage that ranks among the most heinous mass killings in world history. More tons of bombs have been dropped in Iraq than in all of World War II.[iii] Six years later the casualties continue but the story, barely reported from the start, has vanished. ...

Legislature Dealt Setback in Bridgegate Probe
Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Stepien, two figures at the center of the Bridgegate scandal, won't have to comply with subpoenas.
Judge Mary Jacobson issued the ruling on Wednesday, dealing a setback back to the legislative panel investigating the George Washington Bridge lane closures.
Kelly and Stepien have both refused to turn over documents, claiming it would violate their Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination.
It was Kelly's email that said "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," that caused the scandal to erupt in January.
Governor Chris Christie has denied ordering the lane closures or having any knowledge of the plot. An investigation by lawyers hired by the governor's office blamed the lane closures on Kelly and former Port Authority official David Wildstein.
A Quinnipiac University poll out earlier this week found that 64 percent of voters don't think Christie ordered the lane closures. But 51 percent believe he knew what his aides were doing.
The legislature is now considering its next move.

Watkins' Life and Works | Chronology | Image Index
- 1829
- Carleton Eugene Watkins is born in Oneonta, New York, on November 11, the eldest of eight children of carpenter and innkeeper John Watkins and his wife, Julia. As a young man he is an avid hunter and fisherman and active in a local glee club and Presbyterian Church choir.
- Arrives in San Francisco, then proceeds to Sacramento, where he is employed by childhood friend Collis P. Huntington (1821-1900) to deliver supplies to the gold mines.
- Begins photography career by chance, probably in the studio of Robert Vance (1825-1876), by filling in for a photographer who had left his post without warning. By March 1856 newspaper advertisements indicate that Watkins is employed by James May Ford (1827-c. 1877) in San Jose, taking portraits using both the daguerreotype and ambrotype processes. By November the San Jose gallery is taken over by a new owner; Watkins operates as a freelance photographer in the San Jose and San Francisco areas and probably begins outdoor work.
- Experiments with wet-collodion process for making glass-plate negatives; produces salted-paper photographs and continues to be interested in outdoor work.
- Commissioned to document the site of the Guadalupe quicksilver mine for use as courtroom evidence (United States v. Fossat). The finished image is composed of two large salt prints joined to form a panorama of the site. In court testimony on August 27 he states his profession as "photographicist" and says that he personally selected the standpoint for his camera, and that the image(s) represented an "accurate" view. Produces large-format (imperial-size) pictures of San Francisco and undertakes earliest stereoscopic work as well.
- Commissioned to document the Mariposa estate of John C. Frémont (1813-1890); employs both imperial and stereographic formats. The Mariposa images form the largest surviving body of Watkins' work before 1861 (at least fifty-two of the large-size negatives). These images are shown to potential European investors and Napoleon III. Begins association with the California State Geological Survey. Produces stereographs of the Third San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Industrial Exhibition and a series on San Francisco fire departments. Establishes important social contacts in the Black Point home of Frémont's wife, Jessie Benton Frémont (1824-1902), among them Thomas Starr King (1824-1864), the popular pastor of the First Unitarian Church of San Francisco.
- On February 22 photographs crowds of people in San Francisco at a mass meeting in support of the Union; King is keynote orator. Accepts commission to photograph the San Antonio Rancho for the Northern District Court (United States v. D. & V Peralta); gives sworn testimony on May 8 and 10. Arranges to have a local cabinetmaker construct a camera capable of handling negatives as large as 18 by 22 inches (mammoth size) and fits it with a Grubb Aplanatic Landscape lens for wide-angle work. In July travels to Yosemite, where he makes at least thirty mammoth photographs and one hundred stereographs of Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove. Finishes prints on albumenized paper; signs and titles many of these on the mounts.
- William H. Brewer (1828-1910) of the California State Geological Survey views the Yosemite photographs on January 31 and calls them "the finest I have seen." Enthusiastic comments received from King and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who would visit the valley nine years later. By December Watkins' giant Yosemite prints are placed on display at the prestigious Goupil's Gallery in New York City. Mariposa mining views are exhibited in London. Watkins photographs members of the California State Geological Survey with the "Carleton Iron" meteorite fragment and records Fourth of July celebrations in San Francisco.
- Uses studio at 649 Clay Street, San Francisco, possibly with photographer George Howard Johnson (born c. 1823). Photographs King's church and makes a panorama of San Francisco from five mammoth-plate negatives. Yosemite photographs are praised in both the North Pacific Review and Atlantic Monthly. Photographs New Almaden quicksilver mine in the spring and Mendocino Coast lumber mills in the fall. Also, at about this time, undertakes a series of views of the Spring Valley Water Works (principal source of San Francisco's water supply) in San Mateo County. Publishes the album Yo-Semite Valley: Photographic Views of the Falls and Valley.
- Watkins' Yosemite photographs play influential role in persuading United States Congress to pass legislation to preserve Yosemite Valley; bill signed by Abraham Lincoln. Actively photographs San Francisco, including new panoramic overviews and documentation of the ironclad vessel Comanche. Notations in Watkins' 1864 Daily Pocket Remembrancer suggest that his gross income for the year was nearly $3,000.
- Yosemite commissioner Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) consults Watkins on the best means for preservation and use of Yosemite as a public trust. Watkins joins the California State Geological Survey in Yosemite; by July he is on his way to the valley with "2000 lbs. of baggage" and enough glass for one hundred mammoth negatives. Photographs Schuyler Colfax (1823-1885) party in Yosemite. Begins ongoing series of images of trees and other botanical specimens for Professor Asa Gray (1810-1888) of Harvard University. Report of Progress 1860-1864 (volume 1 of the Geological Survey of California), by Josiah Dwight Whitney (1819-1896), is published with woodcut illustrations based on Watkins' 1861 Yosemite images. Mount Watkins, in Yosemite, is named in honor of the photographer. Wins award for "Mountain Views" at the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Industrial Exhibition. Relocates gallery to 425 Montgomery Street, referring to it as the "Yo Semite Gallery." Visited by Utah photographer Charles Roscoe Savage (1832-1909), who is greatly impressed by Watkins' water-bath techniques for handling collodion-plate negatives in Yosemite, "a climate so dry and difficult to work in."
- Extensive reviews of Watkins' Yosemite work are published in the photographic press. Continues his work with the California State Geological Survey, making negatives in four sizes: 18 by 22 inches, 9 1/2 by 13 inches (for albums), 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches (for Whitney's forthcoming Yosemite Book), and stereo (two prints mounted side by side on a 3 1/2 by 7 inch card). Sends six of his new mammoth Yosemite images to Edward L. Wilson (1838-1903), editor of the Philadelphia Photographer. Watkins' 1861 Yosemite images are pirated by D. Appleton & Company, New York, and sold in a reduced size (6 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches) under the title Album of the Yosemite Valley, California. Experiences persistent economic problems because his expenses exceed income from sales.
- Despite continuing economic troubles, makes a four-month trip to Oregon and the Columbia River for the Oregon Steam Navigation Company; takes at least sixty mammoth-size negatives as well as a number of stereographs. Returns overland to California, on the way photographing Mounts Lassen and Shasta. Copyrights his photographs for the first time to prevent pirating of his work. Wins bronze medal for landscape photographs at the Paris International Exposition and gains a worldwide reputation through reviews in the foreign press; the landscape painter Albert Bierstadt buys a set of Watkins' Yosemite views. His photographs are praised at a meeting of the California Academy of Sciences.
- Exhibits fifty mammoth views of Oregon at Shanahan's Art Gallery, Portland. Whitney's Yosemite Book is published in an edition of two hundred fifty copies; includes twenty-four photographs by Watkins. Painter William Keith (1839-1911) designs special logo commemorating Watkins' award at the Paris International Exposition, reproduced on the verso of Watkins' stereographs of this period. Mounts major exhibit of Pacific Coast photography at San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Industrial Exhibition; wins top award. Photographs Lime Point project on San Francisco Bay for U.S. Topographic Engineers. Records the wreck of the ship Viscata near San Francisco. Poses for his likeness in cameo, carved by sculptor Pietro Mezzara (1820-1883).
- Moves Yosemite Gallery to 429 Montgomery Street and greatly expands his inventory of landscape views--under the topical heading "Pacific Coast Views"--by photographing geysers, the Farallon Islands, hydraulic mining, and urban development in San Francisco and adjacent towns. Undertakes an ambitious program of stereograph production, including a series on the Central Pacific Railroad for the Illustrated San Francisco News. Obtains the Central Pacific Railroad negatives of Alfred A. Hart (1816-1908) and publishes them as his own. Begins production of Yosemite Gallery albums. Exhibits again at the San Francisco Mechanics' Industrial Exhibition, where his photographs are praised for "clearness, strength, and softness of tone."
- Begins extensive use of an enclosed traveling wagon for field work. Travels to Mount Shasta with geologist Clarence King (1842-1901); ascends to the 14,162-foot summit and photographs Whitney Glacier. Exhibits at the Cleveland Exposition.
- Becomes charter member of the San Francisco Art Association. On borrowed money, opens lavish new Yosemite Art Gallery at 22-26 Montgomery Street; it includes portrait-taking facility, stereo viewers, and wall display space for one hundred twenty-five mammoth photographs. Travels frequently to expand his inventory of images from all points along the Pacific coast. Makes first photographic excursion to the North Bloomfield gravel mines and documents the facilities of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in San Francisco Bay. Wins silver medal for photography at the San Francisco Mechanics' Institute Industrial Exhibition.
- Invited to join the Bohemian Club. Becomes increasingly involved in San Francisco art circles; photographs the estates of many of the city's wealthiest families. Revisits Yosemite and establishes a separate exhibit and sales outlet for his photographs at the Woodward Gardens in San Francisco.
- Travels with Keith along the Central Pacific Railroad as far as Salt Lake City, then on to Weber Canyon and Echo Canyon on the Union Pacific line. For the first time, employs two special railroad flatcars to carry his photographic wagon, horses, etc., to distant sites. Accepts a commission to photograph the Carson & Tahoe Fluming Company's operations in Nevada, east of Lake Tahoe. Begins series of images for the California Horticulturalist and Floral Magazine. Publishes the Modoc War negatives of Louis Heller (1839-1928). Receives Medal of Progress award at the Vienna Exposition. Travels to New York to learn the Albertype process from Edward Bierstadt (1824-1906); uses the new process to reproduce two sketches by Albert Bierstadt (1830-1902). Photographs paintings by Keith and Virgil Williams (1830-1886) for record and portfolio uses. Landscape painter Thomas Hill (1829-1908) uses Watkins' photographs as a source of inspiration for his paintings.
- Local business depression hampers gallery sales; price of stereographs drops precipitately throughout the industry due to mass production by eastern publishers. Undertakes commission to photograph the Milton Latham estate at Thurlow Lodge, south of San Francisco; produces some seventy-three large negatives, and sixty-three of the finished mammoth prints are mounted in two presentation albums imprinted Views of Thurlow Lodge, Mollie Latham, Photographs by Watkins (now in the collection of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal). Watkins' printer breaks eight mammoth-plate negatives from the 1873 Utah trip.
- Begins extensive series on Nevada's Comstock mining region--in at least two trips--including images inside the stamping mills. Returns to Yosemite. Joins Photographic Art Society of the Pacific Coast. Continuing economic slump leads to loss of the Yosemite Art Gallery and most "Old Series" negatives to businessman John Jay Cook (1837-1904), who had lent money to Watkins. Cook becomes owner of the gallery in association with photographer Isaiah West Taber (1830-1912).
- Although embittered by the loss of his Yosemite Art Gallery, Watkins begins to replace his lost negatives by revisiting his favorite locations; calls these images his "New Series of Pacific Coast Views." Continues Comstock series, including panoramas of Virginia City, Nevada. Photographs Centennial celebrations in San Francisco. Exhibits at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and also wins award at the Chilean Exposition. Travels by rail (again using his special two-car arrangement) to Southern California, where he begins a series on mission architecture and documents the elaborate Tehachapi Loop and other features of the Southern Pacific Railroad for Collis Huntington.
- Spends most of the summer in Yosemite; makes forced-perspective images in smaller formats with wide-angle lens. New work, displaying a renewed and deeply personal involvement with the landscape, appears to be a catharsis. Becomes romantically involved with Frances ("Frankie") Sneade (1856-1945), a studio assistant.
- Opens a new gallery at 427 Montgomery Street with William H. Lawrence as financial partner. Marries the twenty-two-year-old Sneade on his fiftieth birthday.
- Embarks on major journey southward along the route of the Southern Pacific Railroad and makes numerous photographs of Southern California agriculture, fledgling oil industry, etc. Travels as far as Tombstone, Arizona, where he photographs mining and railroad development, as well as the prehistoric Casa Grande ruins. Returns to San Francisco by traveling wagon as he completes his mission series and makes views all along the Southern California coast from San Diego northward.
- In January photographs Kern County agricultural estates for court case Charles Lux v. James B. Haggin; testifies on 31 July 1882. Daughter, Julia, born April 18. Visits Yosemite (probably for the last time) and completes a series showing the work of the Yolo Base Line project for Davidson and the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
- In the fall travels north by rail to Portland, Oregon, the Washington Territory, and Victoria, British Columbia, where he photographs Port Blakely and the Puget Sound area and makes overviews of Victoria and surrounding sites.
- Travels to Oregon to photograph the Cascade Locks on the Columbia River. Son, Collis, born October 4.
- Bentley's Handbook and Ben Truman's Illustrated Guide are published with photographic illustrations by Watkins. Returns to Oregon, then travels eastward into Idaho and Montana, where he also photographs Yellowstone. Commences use of eight-by-ten-inch dry-plate negatives for field work.
- Begins advertising his line of landscape photographs "from Mexico to Alaska" in Overland Monthly and similar popular journals. Exhibits at the New Orleans Exposition.
- Undertakes and completes massive series on Kern County agriculture, producing an estimated one thousand negatives.
- Photographs Montana copper mines in Butte and Anaconda, using electric light and flashpowder underground. Eyesight failing and health weakening; suffers from vertigo. Details hardships in a series of letters to his wife. Photographs St. Ignatius College, San Francisco.
- Photographs Golden Gate and Golden Feather Mines, Butte County, California, in mammoth-size wet plates--the last commercial enterprise completed. Relocates studio to 425 Montgomery Street.
- Suffers greatly from arthritis and diminished eyesight; also experiences increasingly desperate economic privation.
- Obtains commission from Phoebe Hearst (1842-1919) to photograph her Hacienda del Pozo de Verona, near Livermore, California. After spending nearly a year on site, he is unable to complete the project. Relocates studio to 417 Montgomery Street.
- Unable to pay rent, Watkins lives with his family in an abandoned railroad car for eighteen months. As an act of kindness for past favors, Huntington deeds Capay Ranch in Yolo County to Watkins. Rents photographic rooms at 1249 Market Street.
- Almost totally blind, Watkins is assisted in his photographic printing by his son and Charles Beebe Turrill (1854-1927), a photographer and amateur historian.
- Desperately poor, Watkins accepts financial support from Turrill. Exhibits at the Lewis and Clark Exposition on behalf of the state of California but fails to receive financial compensation for his photographs.
- California State Library purchases examples of Watkins' historic photographs at Turrill's encouragement.
- Loses everything in the April 18 San Francisco earthquake and fire. Retires to Capay Ranch.
- Watkins is declared incompetent and placed in the custody of his daughter.
- Committed to the Napa State Hospital for the Insane. His wife begins to refer to herself as a "widow."
- Dies June 23 and is buried in an unmarked grave on the hospital grounds.

Studio Visit
Signs and Wonders: In the Studio with Hayal PozantiBy Joseph Akel
My first encounter with artist Hayal Pozanti was the lucky happenstance of a predetermined seating arrangement: she was placed across the table from me at a dinner celebrating Jessica Silverman Gallery, which represents Pozanti on the West Coast. We spent the evening in deep discussion on the finer points of photographic theory and discovered a shared interest in the writings of Friedrich Kittler. Agreeing to stay in touch, I found myself in New York for Frieze Art Fair and decided to pay a visit to Pozanti's studio in Queens. She was born in Istanbul in 1983, and moved to New York in 2009. In a small, partitioned space with views looking over the East River toward Midtown Manhattan, we talked about her current body of work, which will be exhibited later this year at the Prospect New Orleans biennial and at the Parisian iteration of the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain.
With my recent paintings, I've been thinking a lot about Ken Price, Philip Guston, and Allan McCollum. And, of course, I always come back to Giorgio Morandi—I think about him regularly. I find that a common ground for all of these artists was the ability to create, through figurative abstraction, a world parallel to the one we live in. As a Turkish immigrant who has moved from place to place, who speaks several languages, I'm intrigued by the possibility of creating a universal language to unite my cross-cultural experiences. When I think back to my childhood in Istanbul—even to my time as a young professional there—I was always concerned with the question of acceptance and with the idea of unifying people. Read More

If you have followed the grappling circuit for awhile, you are probably familiar with the name David Avellan.
As a 4xADCC World Championships veteran and 2009 Bronze Medalist, David has beaten some of the best grapplers in the world such as Alexandre "Xande" Ribeiro, Tarsis Humphries, Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu, Rener Gracie, and Rafael Lovato Jr.
It is pretty amazing that he hasn't gotten more attention from the grappling world as one of the few Americans to do well in International competitions, but that is about to change.
David has been working on an instructional course that he says is going to revolutionize MMA called The Kimura Trap System.
He sent me over preview video which has some footage from his instructional course and competition highlight and...

text: Pat O'Brien has a new book about to be released and one of the teases to get you to plunk down your money is a story he shares about running into Angelina Jolie in an elevator back in 2002. It was shortly after her split with Billy Bob Thornton and Pat says, "What's up baby?" Yeah, how would you feel if Pat O'Brien said that to you? Chances are at the time he was probably hammered, or maybe he thought it would give him a shot at Angelina. Anyway, Angelina responded that she was trying to find a guy she kind of knew because she was really horny. Pat, sensing his chance told her to call him if she couldn't find the guy. The thing is, his line probably did work on a lot of women. He says Angelina just laughed and moved on. Her version of the events would probably be something along the lines of some creepy guy was hitting on me in a hotel elevator and when I told him I was horny, he started drooling.

U.S. Marine Corps Enlists with the GSA Fleet Consolidation of 4,713 vehicles will save $13.6 million during phase-in
October 30, 1996
Contact: Hap Connors
(202) 501-1231
Recognizing the U.S. General Services Administration's efficiency and expertise in motor vehicle fleet management, the U.S. Marine Corps recently signed an agreement to turn over the management and operation of its non-tactical vehicle fleet of 4,713 vehicles to GSA's Interagency Fleet Management System (IFMS) during a four year phased consolidation.
The majority of vehicles to be consolidated are located in GSA's National Capital, Southeast, and Pacific Rim regions, but each of GSA's 11 regional offices will be providing support to various Marine active duty and reserve components. Initially, 1,367 vehicles will become part of GSA's IFMS at the beginning of fiscal year 1997, with approximately 1,100 vehicles scheduled for consolidation each year through FY 2000.
David J. Barram, acting GSA Administrator, said, "Our mission is to serve federal agencies with efficient and cost-effective services. We are proud to have earned the trust of the Marine Corps to manage their non-tactical fleet so they can focus on their national security mission."
Barram said that GSA's fleet management services are non-mandatory and are funded through reimbursable transactions with other federal agencies. "We must stay competitive to earn this business," he said.
During the four-year phase in, this consolidation will save the Marine Corps -- and the American taxpayer -- an estimated $13.6 million, and $5.4 million annually thereafter.
Today's announcement by GSA comes on the heels of earlier consolidation arrangements this year with Amtrack involving 1,153 vehicles and the Department of the Army fleet operations in Europe. Under that plan, GSA eventually will manage a fleet of more than 7,000 vehicles for the Army.
GSA currently manages 154,000 of the 590,000 vehicles used by government agencies and the U.S. Postal Service. GSA's fleet program leverages its resources with private sector services to maintain operation efficiencies. A financial analysis of GSA's fleet program conducted with the assistance of Arthur Andersen LLP last year showed significant cost savings when compared to similar private sector fleet services.
A 1993 National Performance Review reinvention lab gave GSA the opportunity to consolidate 6,683 vehicles from other federal agencies into its program, saving $7.4 million. Other management improvements over the years have netted savings of about $23 million.
Barram said, "Further downsizing of the federal workforce and hard financial data mean that we will pursue more opportunities to consolidate federal agency fleet programs into GSA's fleet services."

I'm now looking at the world through rose-colored sunglasses. I also bought pairs of gray, blue and even those silver reflecting glasses. After more than 40 years of being stuck in a four-eyed world, I've successfully introduced contact lenses into my life. And now I can shade my view of the world in any way I wish.
Freedom for this new point of view has had its costs. Learning how to insert and remove contacts has been a painful and humbling experience. More than once I've had to ask a perfect stranger to look into my eye to help me dig out a misplaced lens. And there was the financial commitment, as I've had to buy all the necessary supplies, such as reading glasses, solution, eyedrops, etc. But perhaps most important, I've upset the household's morning routine. I need a little more time in front of the mirror to get those tiny things intothe proper eye, with the correct sie facing my eyeball. This is taking vital mrror time from my daughter.
Despite these problems of retraining, capital expenditures, and time scheduling, my experience has renewed a basic view of life: Accepting new technology can make your life better. It's a great feeling to wipe sweat from one's face without the constraint of spectacles.
Concrete producers know all about the costs associated with accepting good technology. In fact, because our industry is so willing to move forward with new ideas, we've been able to stay somewhat profitable, whether the business cycles are good or not.
Our cover story this month demonstrates one producer's effort to not only meet the challenge of productivity, but to perform on a high-profile job under conditions vastly different from normal day-to-day business.
The Casting Trends feature profiles a producer in Pennsylvania that produced 15,000 feet of reinforced concrete pipe as part of a road project that helped ease congestion for travelers who venture to one of the Keystone State's most picturesque areas.
Also in this issue, you will find a special section called TruckWorks. Sure, as a producer, you manufacture concrete. But you also run a trucking business. Some aspect of every delivery relies on a truck of some sort. This special section will provide a detailed look at the subject of work trucks and offer an preview of the National Truck Equipment Association's Work Truck Show, March 7-9, in Indianapolis.
Speaking of innovation, I hope you will consider attending our bauma Reader Tour. I've been working with several manufacturers to create a unique look at the world's largest construction show and to visit how these tools and systems on display are used.
If you go you'll not only see the best German construction, you also will see me in my new European shades.

- Naruto the Movie 4 actually did look rather good. It was tagged at one point but someone replaced it with a WP copy but they either pre-edited it or used an out of date version.
- Naruto Shippuden: The Movie was probably the best done.
- However Naruto: Shippūden the Movie is the correct title so the good one has been moved there.

Bulls' Rose to miss rest of season after successful knee surgery
Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Bulls star guard Derrick Rose will miss the remainder of the season after having successful surgery Monday morning to repair a medial meniscus tear in his right knee.
Rose suffered the injury in the Bulls' 98-95 loss last Friday in Portland.
It's a sad story for the 25-year-old Memphis product, who missed all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee.
In 10 games this season, Rose posted averages of 15.9 points, 4.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds.

HL: Fourth place at Wild Cheer Athletics International Open
By Kayla Surrette
My team, Wild Cheer Athletics International Open Coed 4.2 Ferocious, just recently went to Niagara Falls, Ont. for "cheer evolution nationals."
The competition was from April 11 to 13.
This was the biggest competition of the year for us knowing that we would go in doing extremely well. We had been working very hard all season leading up to nationals.
When we arrived in Niagara, all my team was feeling a bit nervous to compete.
Nationals is the biggest competition in Canada with over 400 teams competing.
In our division (International Open Coed 4.2), we were against 10 different teams.
On the Saturday, we competed very late at night making us very tired and nervous to perform. We went out there and rocked the floor.
The second day, we got out on the mat and hit everything in our routine because we wanted first.
Finally it was time for the award ceremonies, they announced our division and called out 11th, 10th and so on. We were not being called yet getting us all very excited. Next they got to the top five teams. They called the fifth, and then it was us, fourth place.
My coaches were ecstatic to hear we came 4th out of 11 teams in the biggest national event in Canada. My team had a long journey in this season, but all the hard work paid off.
HL: Atlantic gymnastics championship lead to many great memories
By Felicia Landry
On April 24 to 26 the Atlantic Championships for gymnastics took place in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
Boys and girls travelled a crossed the Maritimes to attend this competition. This being my last competition as a gymnast, it was very emotional.
Ninety-seven people travelled from Nova Scotia to represent the province. In the end we came home with five team gold medals. This means Nova Scotia's scores for those levels were the highest.
To choose people to attend we have girls and boys from all over each province to compete at provincials where the top six people from each level will travel and represent in that level.
After a year of competing against each other, you form a team and work together. Many great memories are formed as well as friendships. This being my last competition, it was very important to me and having my final competition at the Atlantic Championships is the best way to end my career.
HL: Cheer Expo is a huge hit for ARHS team
By Jordyn Colbourne
On March 28, the ARHS Vikings headed to Halifax to compete at Cheer Expo.
It was a two-day competition held at the Halifax Forum in which each group of cheerleaders or dancers competed against people in their division.
Amherst Regional High School was a co-ed level 4.2 cheer team so they had competed against eight other teams.
Cheer Expo wasn't only a place to compete, but offered the ARHS team to join free classes to help improve the team's overall flexibility, stunting and tumbling.
This competition gave the team a chance to experience a competition outside of their own community and to watch other amazing team's performances.
In the end, even though ARHS did not place first the second day at Expo was an amazing run through as every stunt had hit.
Coach Marcie Leblanc said, "Our scores improved since the first competition and we should be proud of that. And the judges finally commented that we had nice height in our jumps!"
The Amherst Vikings proudly took back an awesome energy award that is now in the gymnasium at the school.
Coach Megan Everill said, "We were going against some pretty intense teams who last year were already a level higher than us! Regardless of our placing you guys had fun today. I didn't need to cheer clap or yell with you. You delivered the energy for everyone I could only sit there and smile seeing that you guys were confident. With that attitude, we've won in my books!"

I want to strongly advise against the making of an under water tunnel with different heights of water surfaces. Once I have seen such an attempt in a map. The results are those graphical glitches:
It is, because the source's dx9 water doesn't support that well. It has something to do with PVS or something. You can workaround it, but you would have to use unreflective water which is ugly too.

Another quality product from HS
By Texasbrit
from Texas
I always go to HS first and did so when we got tired of using easily scratched cheap products. I use mine for deciphering medication and cosmetic labels. My husband has Parkinson's and needs his for everything. The large field of vision is perfect for his wobbly hands. Critiques: light could be brighter and doesn't cover full field of vision; needs a soft slip cover to protect the lens on desk top and in my purse.

The divine answer to the cry of the suffering Messiah
In Psalm 21 we get the full answer to Psalm 20 and its desires, in the exaltation of Christ, throwing its light back on the true character of that psalm. The king rejoices in Jehovah's strength and exults in deliverance through it. What this is is then unfolded. The faithful longing of the remnant was that Jehovah would grant the suffering Messiah according to His own heart, that He would fulfil His petitions. Now in the exaltation of Christ they can say the Spirit says for them Thou, Jehovah, hast given Him His heart's desire, and not withholden the request of His lips. Nay, He was met by Jehovah's free and willing love towards Him, with the blessing of goodness, and was gloriously crowned by Him. But what had really passed and been done is more minutely revealed. He had asked life of Jehovah (compare Heb. 5). He gave it Him, but it was length of days for ever and ever, the abiding eternal life of the risen glorified man. That was the answer to the cry of the suffering Messiah when death was before Him. And this is clearly seen in what follows. His glory is great in this deliverance by Jehovah's delight. He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father. Jehovah has laid honour and majesty upon Him. He has made Him most blessed for ever and glad with Jehovah's countenance. Such was the suffering Messiah's deliverance, the divine answer to His cry, His being glorified as the suffering man. It is not the wrath of God which He is here viewed as undergoing; on the contrary, help is looked for from Jehovah when He is brought low. We have already seen the result of this judgment on His enemies. Man's enmity and devices are seen. Man's judgment follows. The king's right hand finds out all His enemies. Jehovah shall swallow them up. It is not His atoning sufferings which are seen here, but the mischievous devices of men. Hence His sufferings do not bring peace, but judgment.We have here, then, Christ suffering and crying to Jehovah; Christ exalted as man, crowned with glory and honour; Christ executing judgment on His enemies. In the three psalms we have the witness of creation, the witness of law, and the Messiah's (the Faithful and True Witness) sufferings and exaltation the we final witness of the righteous ways of God. This must be a revelation of all importance to the remnant in the latter day for suffering or for assured deliverance. Christ has suffered as man from men and for faithfulness; and judgment on man will be the consequence; meanwhile He is exalted on high. But He has suffered for sin from God. The facts connected with this last suffering are unfolded to us in Psalm 22 with its results also.Synopsis by John Darby

Personal health information for more than 1,500 members of Inland Empire Health Plan was stolen in April and reported to IEHP on May 7, IEHP said today.
SynerMed, a managed service organization that contracts with one of IEHP's contractors, had a laptop stolen.
The laptop contained some personal information: member names, IEHP member ID numbers, date of birth, address, phone numbers and other health-related information. Social security numbers were not included with the information. IEHP has reported the incident to the appropriate federal and state entities, it said.
"IEHP is working with SynerMed to correct any actions that led to the disclosure of our members' information," said Dr. Bradley Gilbert, IEHP chief executive officer, said in a news release.

Several people have in the last few months asked for help with code that parses a URL into a query, like this.
As I understand it this is getting done in the hopes of making URI's nice and pretty for SEO purposes. It's also a great way to lose page rank. Here's why.
First, search engines have no problem parsing query strings. However, query strings aren't seperate pages. Hence
These are all considered the same page by a search engine, so url rewriting to separate them is advised. The problem is overkill like this.
In a shopping cart system we can expect to see this sort of thing. The danger is if the parameter order gets switched.
And so on. Each of these sequences are considered separate pages. When the search engine realizes they are the same page it lowers the ranking of the page for spam.
When using mod rewrite to allow query strings to be set up in this manner, keep in mind that you must choose an order for the parameters and enforce it to avoid the illusion of duplicate pages and being penalized. And don't be afraid to use query strings. Google knows that
are the same page, just with different search parameters, and won't penalize you.
Thanks for the insight!
The solution I use is simply a mix of the two.
For example.
For most pages, it would simply be something like /products, or /contact-us, but to pass parameters in, you'd use the normal query string.
What michael presents is a very annoying situation where you must follow an exact order and deviations can cause issues due to the coupling of the URI as a request and as a parameter.
why is this in the php forum?
i think it belongs elsewhere, as it has much broader scope
I'm not against moving it, but I posted it here because typically PHP is used with mod_rewrite to perform these sorts of operations and the topic has come up frequently enough in the past 3 months I figured it warranted comment.
I wish there were like button here as in facebook. lol (I would have liked this thought)
Thread moved to the Server Configuration, Apache & URL Rewriting forum.
If your using Apache then you can do re-writes using .htaccess once the rewrite module is enabled by un-commenting the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so httpd.conf and rebooting once the change has been saved.
Your argument if fallacious. When using the path method and redirecting WITHOUT an R=301, the actual script is hidden from the visitor (which includes SE's). When you post something like this, please understand what you're posting so newbies will not get the wrong impression.
If you doubt me, go to http://wilderness-wally.com and tell me which script is serving all the @#$% articles on the website.
The content the script outputs however is NOT so hidden, and if the content matches, or nearly matches, the output of the script for another "page" on the same site, the spider will declare it a spam dupe and lower the page rank of BOTH pages.
When you post something like this, please understand what you're posting so newbies will not get the wrong impression.
I do understand what I'm talking about and you sir are the one in error. Lower your bombast please.

An Explosive New 9/11 Charge
by Philip Shenon
In a new documentary, former national-security aide Richard Clarke suggests the CIA tried to recruit 9/11 hijackers--then covered it up. Philip Shenon on George Tenet's denial.
With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks only a month away, former CIA Director George Tenet and two former top aides are fighting back hard against allegations that they engaged in a massive cover-up in 2000 and 2001 to hide intelligence from the White House and the FBI that might have prevented the attacks.
The source of the explosive, unproved allegations is a man who once considered Tenet a close friend: former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, who makes the charges against Tenet and the CIA in an interview for a radio documentary timed to the 10th anniversary next month. Portions of the Clarke interview were made available to The Daily Beast by the producers of the documentary.
In the interview for the documentary, Clarke offers an incendiary theory that, if true, would rewrite the history of the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that the CIA intentionally withheld information from the White House and FBI in 2000 and 2001 that two Saudi-born terrorists were on U.S. soil--terrorists who went on to become suicide hijackers on 9/11.

Jesse Boykins III Opens Up About Songwriting, Musical Influences & 'Love Apparatus' Documentary [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]
Subscribe to TheBoombox on
There's one thing Jesse Boykins III is thrilled about besides his new album, 'Love Apparatus': releasing his documentary.
For the past three years, the 29-year-old soulful singer has traveled around the world interviewing women from the age of 17 to 65. Boykins has asked more than 300 females in countries like Japan, South Africa, Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland, Poland and Austria the same set of nine questions, which were inspired by the material on his third studio album. The topics range from "What do you love about being a woman?" to "Do you like smiling?" to "Long term lust or short term love?"
The Chicago-born, Jamaican-raised artist's love for film was one of the driving forces to create the doc, which bares the same title as his new LP and will be released as a series in the coming months. Plus, Boykins was curious to find balance between the sexes. "I had a concept and the album motivated me more to go after it and do it," the '4 U 2 B Free' crooner tells The Boombox. "Especially since the whole album is about balance and I wanted to understand that more — the balance between a man and a woman."
While the ladies he spoke with around the globe gave him invaluable lessons, he also learned much about himself in the process. "I learned how to listen, to internalize," he shares. "I learned the concept of recollection. I learned the concept of appreciation. I learned the concept of patience. I learned the concept of emotional hard work and that means being open and honest as much as I possibly can. I learned balance between having an ego when necessary and telling my ego to lay down face-first on the floor and shut up. The concept of being a man in society and being a true artist and expressing my vulnerabilities and being open."
After listening to 'Love Apparatus,' Jesse Boykins III's candor when it comes to his feelings is apparent. Watch as the avid thrift shopper opens up about the 'Love Apparatus' documentary, his musical inspirations on the come-up, the personal touches in his songwriting and future plans.

Kim Kardashian's Fairytale Wedding: Fit for a Reality TV Princess
It was everything a Reality TV princess dreamed it could be.
-PJ Gach
If you've been away (like, on Mars), Kim Kardashian got married this weekend to Kris Humphries. Not invited and want to see all the photos? This Friday's issue of People will make you ecstatic with their exclusive interviews and more. Can't wait until then? Here are some of the deets from the big day.
Kim and Kris Humprhies tied the knot in front of 450 guests. Celebrities attending the wedding included Ryan Seacrest, Demi Lovato, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria and Julianne Hough. The ceremony, scheduled for 6:30 pm, was only seven minutes late.
In keeping with the theme of black and white wedding, the bridal party wore ivory or white — even the men.
Kim and all the women in the bridal party, including momzilla Kris Jenner, wore Vera Wang. Check out the momzilla's gown, is she trying to outdo the bride?
Kim's co-maids of honor were of course her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney. Bridemaids were sisters Kendall and Kylie and Kris' sister Kaela Humphries. All wore ivory silk organza mermaid gowns.
E! reports that Kim wore a strapless ivory gown with a basque waist, a full tulle skirt, Chantilly lace details and a train that's supposed to rival Kate Middleton's. As she walked down the aisle, her veil was off her face. Instead of a tiara, she had a headband that literally dripped diamonds. A source told US Weekly that Kim "She looked very Armenian, like an Armenian princess."
Kim carried a bridal bouquet made entirely of white roses.
Ring bearer, little Mason Disick, stole the show! He was walking down with his mom, Kourtney. When she slipped and stopped to steady herself, Mason zoomed up the aisle to the applause of everyone.
After the ceremony, Kim changed into another Vera Wang creation, a mermaid gown with Chantilly lace on the bodice and hand-cut organza petals on the skirt.
To see the wedding in its entirety, wait for Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event. It's going to air October 9 and 10, only on E!. And you will only need four hours of your life to watch it…

And now a brief flight of fancy over Kodak ESP ink cartridges and the Kodak ESP Office 2150 printer . . .
Wouldn't it be nice if "ESP" in the Kodak ESP _________ name stood for "Extrasensory Perception"? Simply conjure an image in your mind's eye and your Kodak ESP Office 2150 would pick it up and print it out. Think of the possibilities. Recall your fondest memories - the midnight bike ride with your sweetheart, the camping trip you took the summer after college, the towering home-run you witnessed at the ballgame - and the Kodak ESP Office 2150 would spit out a picture-perfect representation through the power of extrasensory perception. Unfortunately, that day hasn't arrived and printers still rely on photographs saved on flash memory and hard drives.
SuperMediaStore doesn't have extrasensory perception, but through the power of deductive reasoning, we know you're here for new Kodak ESP ink cartridges. See your selection of ink cartridges for the Kodak ESP Office 2150 below.

Really great, but it's having a problem running on Kubuntu 10.10 with all dependencies installed.
I like this program but would like to see something added.
1. when wpa is selected it would be nice to have it save the handshake .cap file instead of letting fern do the work.
I only ask this due to gpu programs like pyrit are much faster than what the cpu can do.
another suggestion, in the key data base how about including the bssid for the AP?
good work man
