An image of a woman, allegedly R&B star Keyshia Cole, performing a sexual act has been circulating online. Cole stepped up to scold those who have been promoting the flick and she insisted the woman in the picture is not her.
On Wednesday (November 28), when the image surfaced, Cole batted it away with a breezy tweet.
"Evil a** haters STAY on some bullsh*t! Y'all wish! Lol!" she tweeted. "Let em have fun! They seem to enjoy being filthy, I say let emm talk!"
As the image continued to circulate online today, Cole became more engaged and outspoken.
"People that have no self respect, you worship!," she tweeted. "Folks that have a child, a husband, hustled from the bottom up, y'all try to tear down. Shame."
While tweeters did not relent, Cole attempted to appeal to her fans and the relationship she has built with her public over the years.
"I guess all I've shown people over the last 10 years I'm a liar and a slut, hugh," she wrote. "I would never want my son to have to see this filth!"
All of this controversy comes as her Woman To Woman album debuted in the Top Ten sales, logging 96,000 copies in its first week. Cole is also starring in the reality show Keyshia & Daniel: Family First, which shows her life as a mother, wife to basketball player Daniel Gibson, and hard working recording artist.
The X-rated photo and the controversy that surrounded it caused at least one fan to question if Cole would quit Twitter after Chris Brown's recent departure from the site.
"Can't deal with @KeyshiaCole deleting her twitter again," wrote @4everTrei. "I wish she would ignore ignorant people."
Cole's reply: "Lamo! that's not gonna happen."

Ruling looms in tent embassy case
A magistrate will decide if three Aboriginal activists arrested for refusing to leave Brisbane's tent embassy can return to the site while on bail.
Wayne Wharton, Bogaine Skuthorpe-Spearim and Hamish Chitts were arrested at the tent embassy shortly after midnight on December 12 when they refused a police order to leave.
They were among a group of people trying to re-establish the embassy in Musgrave Park after Brisbane City Council shut down it down.
The trio appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court earlier this month, where they applied to amend their bail conditions, which state they cannot return to the park.
Their barrister Andrew Preston said a title deed stated the southern corner of Musgrave Park, where his clients were detained, was freehold land set aside in 1999 under a Deed of Grant In Trust "for Aborigines and for no other purpose whatsoever".
He argued the land wasn't a public place, so police couldn't lawfully remove his clients from it.
Magistrate John Costello adjourned the complex matter, but is expected to deliver his ruling on Thursday.
The council shut down the site last month, with Lord Mayor Graham Quirk saying elders asked him to do so because the tent embassy's original intent was not being honoured.
The park saw rowdy scenes in May last year, when hundreds of police descended on the park to evict tent embassy supporters on the orders of the council.

Spring training: Giants 8, Mariners 7, 10 inn.
Jesus Guzman singled home Kevin Frandsen with the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning as the Giants won their spring training opener 8-7 over the Seattle Mariners on
Wednesday in Peoria Ariz.
Time to play good news/bad news with the spring opener.
Aubrey Huff — Good news: The Giants' new first basemen hit a two-run home run in his first spring training at-bat. Bad news: Huff also committed his error of the spring. We can only hope the runs Huff produces with his bat are not negated by the runs he gives back with his glove.
Emmanuel Burriss — Good news: After missing most of last season with a foot injury, Burriss looked great in his spring debut, going 2 for 2 with two doubles, two RBI and a stolen base while starting at shortstop. Bad news: Burriss felt pain in the same foot he had surgery on last season. X-rays showed no break, but Burriss needed crutches to get around. He'll have an MRI Thursday.
Tim Lincecum — Bad news: The two-time reigning Cy Young winner gave up three runs (two earned) in one inning of work Wednesday. Good news: His arm didn't fall off, which is all you need to be worried about from a start in early March.
Aaron Rowand — Good news: The Giants' leadoff hitter was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 2 runs scored and no strikeouts. Bad news: It's only March 3.
UP NEXT: The Giants face the Milwaukee Brewers at 12:05 p.m. PST in Scottsdale. Barry Zito stars on the mound for the G-men.

In 1986, Woburn videographers Joyce and Joe Bertolami of the Joy of Video, along with two other videographers recognized the need to establish standards in the emerging field of wedding and event videography. They determined that the best way to accomplish this goal would be to include like-minded professionals and form an association. In 1986, there were few resources for the wedding and event videographer, so the concept of an association dedicated to this fledgling industry was well received. Realizing the widespread potential of this developing industry, the organization was named the National Professional Videographers' Association (NPVA).
The first meeting was held on August 18, 1986 at the Waltham, Massachusetts Public Library, eight people were present. The NPVA has grown over the past 20 years to over one hundred members. The membership consists of independent video producers and representatives of the various companies that support the video industry. The association has sponsored the Northeast Video Expo and conducts monthly meetings to keep its' members informed and to provide a forum for networking. Its' monthly newsletter, the Viewfinder, is widely distributed and is anticipated each month by videographers throughout the nation. One of the most beneficial events conducted by the NPVA is the Vista Awards competition. This contest challenges the members to improve their videography techniques as well as providing an educational experience for the entire membership. Recognizing that a major tenet of the association is to raise the standards of wedding and event videography, all members are eager to share their knowledge with their colleagues.
On September 18, 2006 a gala celebration was held at the Holiday Inn in Dedham to commemorate this special anniversary. Industry leaders from around the country joined NPVA members as Roy Chapman of WEVA International, the Wedding and Event Videographers' Association, presented the Chairman's Award to our current president, Richard Talmage; Joyce and Joe Bertolami; and the NPVA membership in recognition and appreciation of 20 years of dedication, commitment, education and service to the wedding and event video industry.
At the celebration, current and past board members were recognized for their contributions which have made the NPVA one of the most influential and successful local video associations in the country. In 2004, the NPVA established the honor of Senior Membership, which recognizes consistent attendance and dedication to the Association as well as to the Industry.
In 1982 when Joyce and Joe started the Joy of Video, it was not unusual to have a client wondering whether they would have color and sound on their wedding video. "Several of our couples would say they didn't know anyone who owned a VCR, " Joyce recalls, "so we had to give them credit for having the foresight to have their events captured on video."
Before we started the NPVA we didn't have a good resource for finding the best equipment and for developing the most efficient production and editing techniques. Through the NPVA, members became a united force for creating video excellence and with the strength of one voice are able to call industry representatives with technological questions and suggestions. They are considered valued colleagues in the exciting industry of wedding and event videography.
If you have any questions about membership in the National Professional Videographers' Association or the importance of choosing a videographer for your event you may contact us at NPVA.org.

Sullivan: Tuning in to politics at an early age
The waitress at Christansen's Tavern at Jiminy Peak Resort said she was 23 and added in our conversation that she was looking forward to voting in the presidential election in November. A Berlin (N.Y.) High School and Elmira (N.Y.) College graduate, she was eligible to vote for a president four years ago. Just barely, she said. And she voted, in her mind, more for the novelty of it all rather than being a truly informed citizen.
This time, she said, as a four-year political science major and someone who did campaign work for a New York state representative, she feels a lot more confident and entitled about going to the polls in November. A soccer player both at high school and college, she's much more apt now to kick around political thoughts and ideas than she was four years ago.
I believe this young lady to be the rule.
Meet Brian Barry, the exception to the rule.
The Pittsfield resident is 19 and attends the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He's an Allendale Elementary, Reid Middle School and Taconic High product and the son of local attorney William Barry.
Said Brian, who will be voting in his first presidential election in a matter of weeks, "I don't really discuss politics with any of my friends, although I would like to. Most of the kids on campus when they're not in class are either studying in the library or listening to music. I'd have to say that the younger students here who will be voting will probably vote the same as their parents."
Added Brian, "I don't see a lot of students here looking ahead and wondering where they are going to be in five years. I don't seem them asking about what the job market might be like and whether there will be any chance to land a good job. Their folks are paying the tuition, they go to the dining hall and eat as much as they want. Not many are really looking at the real world."
But, they will be voting. You can do that at age 18. You can't drink alcohol, but you can vote. The question is how informed are the teen voters. To be fair, they are probably no more informed about the ups and downs of politics than the 21-year-old is about the dangers of alcohol.
Brian? Well, he and his younger brother, Matthew, have been throwing the political potato around for years. Matthew, 14, already has designs on a political carrer. William Barry previously served on the City Council and his four children used to watch him and the city's political wheels in motion on public television.
In fact, William was humorously aghast a year ago when Brian went to register as a voter for the first time and checked the box marked "Republican."
"An Irish Republican," chirped the attorney. "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
It's a true story, said Brian, about his decision to buck the family tide. Brian added that being a Republican was "a better fit for me and how I think."
"Matt and I share the same bedroom at home, we've got bunkbeds," Brian said. "We had a television in the room and I'd watch FOX and he'd watch MSNBC."
Matthew is very pro-Democrat and MSNBC fits that bill. FOX, meanwhile, has a definite GOP slant and that suits Brian just fine. Watching Dad and their respective news source stations helped the pair cut their teeth on politics. For the record, Brian is the only Yankees' fan in the house. The rest represents Red Sox Nation. Brian did say he's not a rebel by nature.
"My brother and I read the newspapers every day and we're both pretty informed," Brian said. "A lot of people my age I don't think are well-informed."
And what about four years from now?
"Many of us will be on our own," Brian said. "More things are going to matter."
The waitress at Jiminy Peak gets it now. Brian thinks his age-group peers will get it the second time around, too. Politics is a learning curve, Brian believes, that can be accelerated.
In the meantime, the Barry brothers -- Matthew way to the left and Brian far to the right -- continue to put down a patchwork of their political agendas. Matthew went to the state Democratic convention in Boston while Brian joined the local Berkshire Republicans club. Matthew adorns the Barry front lawn with an Elizabeth Warren poster. That's until Brian comes home from school during breaks and replaces it with his Scott Brown poster. That, in fact, should happen over the Columbus Day weekend. So, if you drive by the house, don't blame Dad for the confusion.
Matthew, by the way, has a photo of himself and Gov. Deval Patrick. Brian has one with Brown.
The Barry dinner table? "We all get along," Brian said. "We're family."
OK, here's where we're going. We need the kids to speed up the learning curve. At age 18, it might be too young for them to figure out the depth of the water. But they at least need to get their feet wet. Many of today's high school freshmen and sopohomores may have the chance to help vote in a new president in four years. Will they be ready? It's going to be their world, not ours, and the sooner they start connecting the dots the better.
Who knows? Maybe someday Matthew and Brian will square off in a brother vs. brother battle for mayor of our wonderful city. Now that's something worth hanging around for.

I wrote new article on Numerical Systems and Transformations yesterday evening (on my C Lessons Project webpage) and would like to share it with you. If someone can help me format my text for this forum, I would appreciate it, so I culd post full article here..
Here's intro:
"Our society uses numerical system based on number 10. There is a n0torious explanation why this system is used - it's simple, people have ten fingers, thus makes them easier to calculate numbers. If things were gone different, and something had messed up primordial soup -> developing Homo sapiens with eight fingers, it would be more likely we would use octal numeric system at present time. Infinite number of numerical systems exist, but following are most commonly used, and their conversion from one to another, is simple."

Enough is enough. The City Council of Russellville needs to just go ahead and make a decision on the new Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market.
There is no need in piddling around any longer.
With more and more Americans becoming concealed carry permit holders, why don't the individual counties and Sheriff departments not create and promote a volunteer deputy program?
The new deputies have already been confirmed and verified, with a substantial background check preformed, verified and duly authorized.
These people would increase the police presence, enhance the public's perception of gun carriers and licensees, reaffirm the Second Amendment, as well as state sovereignty.
In my opinion, this is win, win , win for all.
I don't get it. I haven't heard anybody mention East/West Parkway yet for Walmart's new produce store. I thought that's what all that "development" was for!
There's plenty of empty space there and surely there would be no problems with zoning, neighbors, noise or traffic. In building on Parkway, the market would become an anchor around which other businesses would locate.
And one would think the property would be cheaper on Parkway as opposed to West Main Street.
Then another question: Why was all that work done on Phoenix Avenue extending it out to Tech from Parkway? Was that meant to be a fancy bicycle path for Tech students — to nowhere? The area on Parkway east of Phoenix would be an ideal spot for the market — for Tech students and employees, traffic from St. Mary's Hospital, and it would stimulate business in the older downtown area and Train Depot. And let's admit it, most people seem to be against the Vancouver location.
Walmart executives need to stop looking at all the numbers, marketing studies and what Russellville can do for them, and start thinking about what they can do for Russellville.
Then, it won't matter where they're located, the business will come to them.
Finally, something's going on in regard to East/West Parkway that nobody seems to want to talk about. I don't know what it is, but —I don't get it.
Tom Cotton was right in voting against the Hurricane Sandy Aid bill.
This bill is an excellent example of what is wrong with Congress! Everyone wants to help the victims of the Hurricane Sandy — but the Democrats in the Senate loaded the bill with pork barrel projects that had nothing to do with the Hurricane Sandy victims!
The bill should have been amended to remove all that pork barre and sent back to the Senate.
I have been very pleased with our present elected and appointed officials as they seemed to have brought together a previously divided community. The things they have accomplished and the things they are planning are exciting.
We have much to be proud of, but the present bickering and posturing have brought back bitter memories of the past. It is good to have a healthy debate and examine issues from all angles, but the present issue of the Walmart Neighborhood Market needs to move forward. There will always be those who are dissatisfied and there is truth to their concerns as it relates to a few. As I see it, our officials have an obligation to move forward for the greater good while minimizing the harm some may suffer. They have done this to my satisfaction. Both sides have made compromises. Isn't it time to move forward? Let's trust those who have brought us together. They have brought wise leadership in the past and are bringing us the progress that will serve the future of our community.

text: World No. 5 Rafael Nadal has come out on Wednesday with some scathing remarks towards the organisers of the Brasil Open, a tournament which is a part of the ATP World Tour 250 Series. "It is unacceptable that a tournament is held in these conditions. The bounce of the ball is too irregular, the lines are falling off and the balls are far too soft. You can not have any long rallies here." Nadal followed that up with a critique of the ATP. "This situation is a consequence of the ATP's lack of worry for the players. These courts are bad for the health of the players and I hope someone will take action against this. The audience wants to see long matches and on these kinds of courts that is impossible without injuries, no?" When asked about the state of his knee, Nadal was cautiously optimistic. "My knee feels a bit better today. Of course, it still changes from day to day, some day it's better, some day it's worse. All I can do is see how things go and I hope the injury will not cause me to lose matches I could win." He assured the Brazilian journalists that his qualms were with the São Paulo tournament only. "I love playing in Brazil and I am already looking forward to the Olympics in Rio. I just think that this tournament has had some problems with the organisation, but my team and I are going to talk to the organisers and see if it can be fixed."

[Page 28]
Translated by Gloria Berkenstat Freund
The majority of the German manufacturers were factory directors and master craftsmen. After erecting their factories with all of the necessary buildings and machines, the factories began to operate, but they still needed assistance from a banking house to collect the promissory notes they received for the completed goods despite having the means and remaining capital to purchase the required raw materials and to pay the personnel and workers. They also had to provide money as pledges for goods during the quiet season because their seasonal goods lay finished in storage and waited for customers. Those who had a turnover of capital and who still had previous debts had even more need of a banking house. However, there was no banking house in Bialystok until 1872.
The first banking house in Bialystok was founded by Dodye PERLIS, a son of Nakhame PERLIS, a daughter of Itshe ZABLUDOWSKI. This banking house was located in WILBUSZEWISZE's house near the apothecary.The larger manufacturers could not make use of the Warsaw bank, which did not have an office in Bialystok, and therefore there was no one to collect their more worthwhile promissory notes. Because there was no local monetary facility for the firms, they could only pay cash for the Russian wool that was sold.
The local collectors and lenders assisted the manufacturers which could not exist, develop and increase their production without them with all of their problems. These collectors and lenders were from the circle of Jewish merchants who became rich in the earlier generation of contractors in BRANICKI's courtyard and, later, from manufacturing, the importation of tea from abroad and also from other businesses
[Page 29]
such as the wood business, like Itshe ZABLUDOWSKII[21] (1781-1865), whose wealth came from Biatowieza [a primeval forest] timber that he would buy and transport abroad. He was the money magnate of Bialystok. There are still legends about his wealth: his house on the corner of Senkewicze and Pilsudski, was the first modern, affluent house in Bialystok.However, none of the rich Jews had ventures to pursue after closing their old businesses and their capital remained inactive. They found natural consumers for their money with the arrival of the German manufacturers. They also found new business pursuits providing raw materials for the manufacturers who needed purchases made for them in Russia and abroad. Purchasers who worked for commissions and merchandise traders were trained and developed in Bialystok.
At the same time that they had these very close relations with the German manufacturers and their products, the Bialystok merchant class was more closely acquainted with the developers of modern textile manufacturing. As a matter of course, a movement had to awaken among the younger Jewish generation for them to emulate the German manufacturers and themselves become manufacturers of the finer cloth products. They could fill in their lack of knowledge of the craft with hired German master craftsmen and directors.A) Reb Sender BLOKH, B) Reb Nukhem MINC and C) Eliezer HALBERSZTAM, three rich and aristocratic sons-in-law of the wealthy Itshe ZABLUDOWSKI, stood at the head of this movement. With the agreement and the help of their rich father-in-law, they created three self-contained cloth factories, with distinguished master craftsmen and directors.Almost at the same level as them were the well known son of Mikhele, Dodie ZABLUDOWSKI, and another educated Jew, Sender BLOKH's son, Noakh-Dovid BLOKH, who had a partial factory. All of the factories produced the finest cloth and clothing goods.[22]
The first and most distinguished son-in-law of Itshe ZABLUDOWSKI was one of the great aristocrats from Vilna. His grandfather, Reb Noakh bmohr'r[1*] Shrage Fajwish, was one of Vilna's greatest rich men and philanthropists.[23] His mother, Dworya, who is buried in the local cemetery, had an extensive rabbinic ancestry. He, himself, was also
[Page 30]
a Jew, a scholar and a generous benefactor. He was a significant Moscow merchant and wood trader.In 1841, he founded a large self-contained factory in the Nowi (Mitskewicze today) that existed until the 1860's. His wife, Malka-Reyzl, the oldest daughter of a wealthy man, who was an active and clever woman and renowned in the Bialystok commercial world and in her environment, helped him in his business.Sender BLOKH died young (in 1849) at the age of 39. His wife, Malka-Reyzl, carried on his business; she had branches of her business in Zelwe, as well as Bordiszew, but in the end, she had to close the factory. As was said, a wealthy man helped her with 40,000 rubles (that was transferred from her share of the inheritance).[24]
Malka-Reyzl had a large family: she and Reb Sender had 15 children; of them only two died. She arranged great aristocratic matches for her children; her sons-in-law were the largest merchants and manufacturers in Bialystok, who greatly helped the development of manufacturing and trade in Biaylstok.How important a personality Sender BLOKH was in Bialystok is seen by the great dirge entitled Merirei Yom [Poor Souls those who suffer daily bitterness] that his brother-in-law, the Hebrew poet Eliezer HALBERSTAM, wrote at his death on the day when he was brought to his grave (published by Rom publishing house, Vilna, in the year 5609 [1849], 11 pages; he describes his large funeral, where his casket was taken to the Great Synagogue and he was carried inside and there three funeral orators eulogized him. He describes how he was mourned by all of the orphans who lost a father in him and all of the widows who lost a source of support in him, his beloved wife, sons and daughters, as well as the sick in the hospital they he founded and supported. All lamented and wailed for him.
The Rabbi, Reb Moshe Josef, head of the religious court of the holy community, Kanishin Jedwabna, talks about him and his death in his book, Mate Yosef [Joseph's Staff] or Hotam Tochnit [Seal of the Design], commentary 10, point 9: This beautiful town, the famed Bialystok, where there were many dead would cry out in sorrow for this tragedy, since its mighty have fallen as well: The rabbi, famous, respected and generous, of good counsel, pious and God-fearing, a great treasure of Torah, scholarship and good deeds, supporter of the needy and helper of the poor, our master and teacher Alexander Sender Bloch. His memory is cherished by many to this day, in their hearts they weep for him,
[Page 31]
for he is missed by all. The most respected members of the community remembered and praised his piety, righteousness and generosity.
Malka-Reyzl[25] died in Tevet 5638 (1878), 29 years after her husband's death. Her brother-in-law, HALBERSZTAM, in his Alei Higayon Bekhinor [from Psalm 92:4 On the Strings of the Harp] mourned her:
A woman of valor, more precious than pearls, beautiful and wise, of a righteous soul, her generous charity is known by all, her words were pleasant to the ears; rest in peace among thousands of women, until the day will come [an allusion to the day of the resurrection of the dead tkhies-hameysim].
Malka-Reyzl's factory was later sold to the German manufacturer, Rudolf KOMIKHOV, who became the well-known blanket manufacturer and from him to the manufacturer, HENRICKS-IZENBEK. Today it belongs to two small Jewish manufacturers who work for payments. Her large locations were parceled and sold through them.
The second son-in-law of the wealthy man, Nokhem MINC, was a Jew, a scholar, a follower of the Enlightenment and a great man of aristocratic descent. His father, the rabbi, the sagacious scholar, Orish MINC, was the 15th generation of the MINC family. He had six sons and three daughters. All of his sons as well as his sons-in-law were very educated, followers of the Enlightenment and rich men. Reb Menakhem Nokhum MINC was his sixth son and also a distinguished Torah scholar. His first wife was Chaya Frume, the daughter of a rich man from Bialoystok; his third wife was Yokheved, daughter of the rabbi and great man, Mr. Zalmen Bornsztajn.[26] He died in 5626 [1866], a year after his father-in-law's death. He received the stately courtyard on Kilinski Street opposite the palace (now the Palas Theater) from his father-in-law after his father-in-law's death. There he established a group of factories. He erected a Beis-Midrash and also a bathhouse with a mikvah [ritual bath] for himself there at the same time.[27] He had seven sons: They were referred to as the golden MINCs in the city. All of them were educated and studious. One of his grandsons was a well-known professor of surgery in Russia; he is now a professor in Riga. None of his family remains in Bialystok, except for one son, completely deranged, who subsisted in the old age home. His sister, Mikhel, FRYDLANSKI wife, in Petersburg, would support him.After the factory closed, it was rented to Malka Reyzl's two sons-in-law, Mordekhai-Chaim HAJLPERIN (later the Jewish public notary), Avraham ZUSMAN and their partner, Leib RASZKIN, who was an employee of Malka Reyzl. The factory and the courtyard were later sold to FRISZ, the manufacturer, from him to LITERER for production by wage earners. During war time [First World War] for the Palas Theater. The courtyard was divided into parcels.
[Page 32]
Eliezer HALBERSZTAM, who was one of the wealthy man's sons-in-law and stepson, founded a series of cloth factories in Królowy Most, a village not far from Bialystok. He had well prepared himself for manufacturing. As an educated person he sent his son, Heinrich, to Achen to learn the techniques of the textile industry. This one later became the director of his father's factory. The father himself was not very involved with the factory. He was more involved with the Haskalah [Jewish Enlightenment] movement, but his wife[28] was more involved with the factory. The factory existed until 1879, when it burned. Later, he was the fabric finisher for the German manufacturer HAKE.
Dodje ZABLUDOWSKI's factory was the fourth self-contained factory in Jewish hands. We do not know how involved he was with the factory. His factory was situated at the location of the Real School today the Polish gymnazie [high school]. I found his son, Izidor,[29] who supposedly had no capability in running such a factory, managing the factory. It was entrusted by lease to Sheine-Chaya HAJLPERIN, Malka-Reizl's daughter, and later, to Kalman GELBERG (Kalman with the shoes), until it burned. The Russian regime later bought the courtyard and the house from Izidor ZABLUDOWSKI (in 1892) for 19,000 rubles and there erected the Real School. The Polish Men's Gymnazie is now located there.
The highly educated son of Sender and Malka-Reizl BLOKH Noakh-Dovid BLOKH founded a small spinning and fabric finishing factory in partnership with his brother Bontshe (Ben-Tzion] BLOKH on the Nowi. When the factory went bankrupt, Noakh-Dovid BLOKH fled to Vienna. There he became a co-worker at Vienna German newspapers and died there. His brother later again operated a small spinning factory. Here we have described the first large, but unsuccessful attempts by the Bialystoker Jewish aristocratic wealthy men to establish self-contained
[Page 33]
textile factories. This required a knowledge of the trade and many years of experience, such as the German manufacturers had.
Attempts at fine woolen fabric weaving mills were also made also by other distinguished Jews. For example: at the same time, in 1844, Reb Dovid Avraham KEMPNER, later well known as an entrepreneur, scholar and author, founded a weaving mill for fine clothing fabric with a partner in order to receive the right as a Polish Jew to live in Bialystok, which was then still forbidden. Tzlal NOWIK, later well known as an eminent manufacturer, worked as a weaver in his weaving mill.The factory stamp of 1844 is still found with his son, Falk KEMPNER, today. The local weaving mills would send wagons with their raw materials to Zgera, near Lodz, to be worked on. It appears that the local German manufacturers from Supral did not want to work because of the competition. The Russian notarized contract that was closed on the 15th of October 1844 between Dovid-Avraham KEMPNER and his partner, Markus RUBINSZTAJN, from the Mazowiecki area, to create a factory to produce various sorts of woolen cashmeres, inferior sorts of cloth and linen [or canvas] until the 15th of October 1851, is found with his son, Falk. The contract was concluded by the notary, Zalman GRAWE.
At the same time as these factories and still later, all business sectors of the middle class and people on the lower strata began to engage in the textile industry. They began to specialize in it. There were also those in the 1840's who were already referred to as printed calico weavers (with a weaving mill of cheap, inferior merchandise). After this, they became linen [or canvas] weavers and later they developed to the level of cloth manufacturers. However, they did not attempt and because of a lack of means, could not attempt, to present themselves as equals to the German professional manufacturers producing the same goods from the finest wools and expensive materials. Earlier, they had learned to imitate and produce cheaper goods and to develop around a new kind of cloth and clothing cloth and also blankets that appeared entirely equal to the German kind at the first impression. However, they were of a much lower quality. As a matter of course, they could be sold at a much lower price and in this way could compete with the better and finer good of the German manufacturers.
[Page 34]
After specializing in all fields of the textile industry, the Jewish manufacturers sought to apply all means and to make the most ingenious arrangements and calculations to make their goods as inexpensive as possible. And as the German manufacturers placed on the market a new kind or a new pattern of goods, it was very soon after that the same sort of pattern was brought out by the Jewish manufacturers at a much lower price. In such a manner, the Bialystok Jewish cloth manufacturers became very competitive in all of the markets in Russia, where cheaper goods were sought.We list here the Jewish factories that arose in the years 1850-1880:Reb Yakov-Shlomo BARASZ - a Jew, a person of high standing, a scholar and a respectable man, was one of the first bourgeois manufacturers who founded a self-contained factory in 1850 in Wasilkow, near the Suprasl [River], five kilometers from Bialystok. It existed until 1890. It burned then. Fiszl BARASZ, Reb Yakov-Shlomo's son, rented it to LESZGOLD-LUNSKI and later to PORECKI-GOWENSKI. Leib ROZENTAL had a fabric and blanket factory and later a spinning mill, fabric finisher and synthetics factory.In 1865 Zelig JASZINOWSKI organized a self-contained factory. The factory later went to the former weaver, Kalman GELBERG (or Kalman mit der shikh [Kalman with the shoes]. The communal bath mikves [ritual baths] are located at that location today. Berl POLJAK had a factory in 1865. It closed and later reopened in 1877 (perhaps 1873). It became a large and solid firm, B. POLJAK and Son. The factory employs up to 300 workers.Avraham-Leib ZILBERBLAT opened a spinning and weaving mill in 1866. His son, Sheime, later had the spinning and weaving mill.A. SLONIMSKI organized a weaving and spinning mill in 1870. His son, Tovya, opened a spinning mill in 1875.In 1875 Leib PRAJSMAN opened a partial factory. Shmuel BABULKES organized a spinning mill in 1875.Shraga Fajwl BLOKH opened a spinning and weaving mill in 1878.
[Page 35]
Sheyne-Chaya HAJLPERIN opened a spinning mill and fabric finishing shop in 1878. The factory was later enlarged by her heirs.Yeshayahu WISOCKI and Moshe HUROWICZ together opened a spinning and weaving mill in 1878.In 1880 Y. CZEKHOWISKI opened a fabric finishing and dye shop. The undertaking later was taken over by Bacze SEGAL. KAMINKO, WOLKOWISKI's son-in-law, organized a spinning mill and a fabric finishing shop in Wasilkow in 1880.In the general list of manufacturers, after the alphabetic list of names of the owners, can be found a few more factories that opened during this era. However, only a few of all the manufacturers excelled in their development and great scope.
Earlier, Betzaleel NOWIK was himself a weaver. In 1841 he was a dyer in Nowi [Street], a peasant cloth craftsman. According to official information, NOWIK's factory was founded in the year 1848. However, this is not correct. He was then certainly a dyer. Later, he had a weaving mill in the house he acquired on Nowi [now Mickewicza Street) in partnership with Reb Yitzhak KHOHEN, the son of Leib KHOHEN, the well known Bialystok dayan [religious judge]. NOWIK remained alone when Reb Yitzhak KHOHEN left the partnership and became a wool broker. In the 1870's and 1880's, B. NOWIK later expanded until he had a self-contained clothing cloth factory with his sons.In 1895, through the initiative of his son Feywl, a large felt hat factory was organized in it (he had earlier specialized in this work). Later in 1905, he was joined by his sons Khone Hersh and Pesakh-Shlomo, who had been individual manufacturers, in founding the firm, C. NOWIK and Sons. It became the largest Jewish factory in Bialystok with all modern equipment, with a large spinning mill, 68 industrial steam pressers, four machines to straighten out the thread during the weaving process and a finishing site with 10 rollers. The large factory (and the felt factory) employed up to 800 workers. The factory declined after the death of the first and second generations and was rented for income.
[Page 36]
Yisroel TRILING came to Bialystok from Sereje (a small shtetl [town] in Sulwaki gubernia [province], as a son-in-law of RAFALOWSKI, a local middle class family. He was a student of Reb Chaim FILIPOWER, who was a well known freethinker in Poland in his time[30]. At the start of the 1860's, Yisroel TRILING was involved in the produce business for the manufacturers. Later he also became a comisioner [one who earns a commission on sales], mainly to sell the heavy blankets of FLAKERT, the German manufacturer. He later manufactured the same blankets himself through jobbers. In 1890, his son, Oswald TRILING, who had studied the textile trade in Brin (Austria) and in Milhausen (Alsace) returned from abroad. He liquidated the production by jobbers and opened his own heavy blanket factory. At first, the work was on handlooms. Later, when production greatly increased, its own laundry, dyer and fabric finishing was arranged and later the factory began using mechanized weaving machines. Oswald TRILING became a partner in the firm that still went by the name Y. TRILING and Son. Yitzhak TRILING's son-in-law, Wolf ALTMAN, was also a partner in the firm during the last years of the First World War.Yitzhak TRILING died in Nice in 1914 and Wolf ALTMAN died in Bialystok. Oswald TRILING remained as the sole owner of the factory.During the First World War and the German occupation of Bialystok, Oswald TRILING moved to Moscow, bought a factory there near the Bikowa train station and worked there until the Bolsheviks came to power. He then returned to Bialystok, brought order to his old factory and enlarged it.A new cloth finishing and dying mill and a synthetics factory was built in Wasilkow near Bialystok in 1923. Production increased and the number of workers reached 500. A division was also founded in Harbin in the Far East. In 1921 Oswald TRILING's son, Maksim, joined the business as a partner and director. The firm was reorganized as Oswald TRILING and Son, a stock company [in which shares were sold] in 1924.
[Page 37]
In 1931, due to difficult labor conditions in Poland and the complete cessation of exports to China as a result of direct political entanglements, the factory was closed and the owners left for Southern France, to Nice, where they settled. Oswald TRILING took an active role in communal life in Bialystok. He was vice president of the Society for Mutual Assistance, vice president of ORT [acronym from its Russian name Obshestvo Remeslenofo Zemledelcheskofo Truda - Society for Trades and Agricultural Labor], chairman of the Union of Large Industry, member of the council of the Polish State Bank, and others.
Dovid HUBINSKI, a son of Moshe HUBINSKI, a rich proprietor in Grodno gubernia, settled in Bialystok after his marriage. Here he specialized in the manufacture of cheviot blankets. In 1878 he began to produce heavy blankets, at the beginning with jobbers, and later he began his own factory. Finally, the firm, Society D. HUBINSKI (that is, he and his two sons), had its own machine to straighten out the thread during the weaving process, five large weaving machines, 42 industrial steam pressers, a cloth finisher of 12 rollers. He employed more than 300 workers. He competed with his fine blankets in the English and foreign traders markets with the TRILING blankets. However, the firm, which was taken over by the large German RICHTER factory, did not last until the end; after Dovid HUBINSKI's death it went bankrupt and declined completely.
Ahron SURAZSKI opened a spinning mill in 1870. He later had large weaving mills with his sons Nusan and Leib SURAZSKI and their sons-in-laws, L. MOWSZOWSKI, M.B.SLOMIANKSI and M. FAJANS. (During the 1840's Ahron SURAZSKI was a weaver of printed calico.) He later learned cloth weaving and became a manufacturer. The first weaving mill was in the house of his father, Wolfke SURAZSKI, or Wolfke POLJAK), on Surazer Street. In 1870 he moved the weaving mill to Nowi [Street], where he completed it with a spinning mill and cloth finishing and employed approximately 100 workers. In
[Page 38]
the later years, he and his sons and sons-in-law occupied a respected place in the Bialystok textile industry.In 1873 Ahron SURAZSKI built a brick Beis Medrash, Hasidi Kotsk [Kotsk or Kock Hasidim]. The SURAZSKI family suffered greatly during the great crisis of 1900-1901. Their factory was sold.The activity of the SURAZSKIs had its continuation 10 years later, through Leo SURAZSKI, his brother Yakob's son, who in 1914 founded a factory in London and in 1917, with his brothers Chaim and Elihu, transferred it to Mexico, where they are industrial entrepreneurs of great stature.

If Kakashi dies in the next manga chapter or so, we'll never learn how he achieved MS.
As far as I know, it hasn't been revealed yet.
Also, he won't get a chance to teach Naruto about yin/yang chakra.
Why Kakashi Won't Die. A New Realization!
If Kakashi dies in the next manga chapter or so, we'll never learn how he achieved MS.
aight, im betting mah 50c on that theory of urs.
Maybe he'll hint how he got MS in the flash back. Maybe through intense training over time skip.
I think he got MS by "killing" obito, or maybe he was forced to kill rin some other time, I think the entire kakashi gaiden was merely meant to explain how he got Sharingan and to explain How he got MS later, by telling the tail on how he killed Obito.
Unless he mentions his MS before he dies..
I totally agree with you. I was just suggesting that he might have Possibly obtained by copying it off of itachi (cause he already fulfilled the requirments with the obito thingie allowing him to copy it off of Itachi) which he then developed during the time skip.
Hey, this thread isn't about how Kakashi got MS :p
YES IT WOULD(it has already been explained)

|I love prismacolors, they have a more color than they do wax which makes them super easy to blend. I used to use regular pencil colors, but after using prismacolors I don't think I could go back to regular pencil colors and expect the same kind of high quality work. It's good that I can buy them seperatly, black and white are the most used colors, so stock up on them.

text: I noticed a thread on Trekweb about Uniforms for Trek 12 and thought we should have a discussion about it. That thread mentions ST 2-6 uniforms and if fans think the JJverse uniforms should stay. We've touched on it here this Summer in these two threads How many scenes will Pine wear the gold uniform in the next movie? and Uniform Differences I think these tighter fitting JJverse uniforms will be around for the next 2 films. What happens in the next Trek TV series though is the real question. When we see Admirals back at Starfleet HQ in the next 2 films what will they be wearing is more interesting to me.

can't wait to try you sauce! but I gotta admit, I've never seen bits of tomato in the sauce. when I worked there the sauce was so fine they had a squeeze ketchup bottle filled with sauce for the extra sauce pizzas, they would squirt some on top of the cheese. I think you can see that in BTB's picture on page 10 in discussionhttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,4084.180.html
Thanks! Yes i have watched the video many times! They only used the squirt bottle filled with sauce and squirted sauce on the cheese when some one ordered a pizza with extra sauce. This i know from working at aurelios, as well as ordering pizzas with extra sauce for over 15 yrs when i lived in illinois. Interesting hypothesis on the cheese color after cooking. I never saw anything but white cheese used. So this would suggest if some one orderd a cheese only it would not turn orange? Im sure some one out there must have a cheese only picture. Must investigate!! Thanks for the recipes!
OTR,Would you please tell us more about your recipe....is this something that you have come up with, have you ever made it without cooking the sauce?Parts of your post sorta sound like quoted text and I'm curios...do you have some insider info here? Thanks!Bob
Thanks OTR, you mention Centos being your second favorite....are you refering to their crushed/ground or their DOP whole?
OTR,To be honest with you, Centos crushed, to me, are horribly tinny tasting ...and if you do a search of them here on the forum you'll find that most agree. Their DOP San Marzanos, however, are VERY good though $$.The Muir Glen organic are well liked, not sure about the fire- roasted ones though...They say the Aurelios sauce is very sweet so I am wondering if you know of and have tried the Walmart "Classico" brand of tomatoes yet? It is widely known that they are made by the same people that produce the 6n1 product...a very high quality, sweet tasting sauce.I'm going to try your spice blend with some ground Classico's. I like the sound of your proportions and I 've never worked with barley syrup before so I'm real interested in giving this a go.
Thanks for the tip on the Eden's syrup... You do not want to forget about the Classico's , OTR....the ground or crushed will put you right in the ballpark of the Cento's but at 1/3 the cost. Some here have said Classico "pear strips" are excellent also and this may be a good alternative to use on DD pizza and such....I can't get them in my area but I'm still on the hunt.Good luck on Sunday....Bobps,does Aurelios use a screen for part of their bake?
Sounds great OTR.... glad you are getting the classico's, you will be too... Don't worry too much about their temps. You have what you have...put your stone a 'lil lower this next time, after your par-bake of the crust poke any air bubbles with a knif..don't roll over it with your pin like you've been doing...if you "dock" it first you won't have air pockets...anyway, please let the par-baked crust cool, preferably on a cooling rack...stove top grates will work...after you dress the pie place it directly on the stone...No pan...I hope you have your dough weight per "X" size pizza proper...I'm sure you do..don't wanna end up with a Cracker..Ha! Hope you have fun tomorrow....OTR, please don't forget to take a pic or 3 or 4...thanks!
OTRChef,The FDA requires that Sugars be reported in the Nutrition Facts to the nearest gram. For small amounts of Sugars, like 4 or 5 grams, that can mean some wide percentage swings from actual values, much more so than when comparing large numbers. Also, when comparing the Classico crushed tomatoes and the Muir Glen crushed tomatoes (or whatever other tomatoes you might compare), you will want to be sure that the serving sizes are the same and adjust the Sugars values accordingly. You will also want to compare the sodium values for the same serving sizes and adjust those also. From some testing I have done, I found that high sodium (salt) levels can reduce the sensation of sweetness on the palate.In the final analysis, the results will tell you which of the two tomatoes produces the greater sensation of sweetness, or the better overall outcome.

Given Saarloos' ground ball tendencies, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this ...
- Saarloos career at home: 0.75 HR/9
- Saarloos career at Network Associates: 0.85 HR/9
- Saarloos career on the road: 1.30 HR/9
He'll get a boost from the AL/NL switch, but he's also moving out of a home park park that suppresses home runs and moving into GABP. Also, as has been mentioned previously, the NL Central road parks where Saarloos will log a decent chunk of road innings are also HR friendly.
If Kirk Saarloos walks as many guys as he strikes out in 2007, which he's done the past three seasons, and puts up a HR/9 in the 1.30 range in 2007, which he's done for his career on the road, then there won't be many people satisfied one bit with his performance come summer.

TV Stands
TV stands are one of the best ways to organize your entertainment center. Not only does a TV stand provide the perfect perch for your flat screen TV but they also usually provide some storage space for your components and media, like CDs or DVDs. Even if you prefer to use a TV wall mount, a TV stand is usually still necessary to house the rest of your stuff.
Read More
Choosing a TV stand that is the right size is important. Make sure the TV isn't larger than the TV stand itself. If you have a large TV, check out our selection of 60 inches or larger TV stands. TV stand design options help create the ultimate design. While many prefer an open shelving TV stand, TV stands with doors help to create a neat and tidy appearance. Choose from wood TV stands with options like oak TV stands, espresso and more. Even a small space can use the handy storage of corner TV stands.
Not looking for TV stands? Check out our entertainment centers or see the entertainment furniture page for even more options.

Tracking winter on the trails at Springside Park
PITTSFIELD -- Springside Park's 237 acres of mostly undeveloped fields and woodland fit against the residential neighborhoods of Pittsfield's north end. It is safe to say that because of this, there are far more trees and squirrels in the north end than in any other Pittsfield precinct, and Springside is Pittsfield's largest park.
"It takes up roughly 37 percent of Ward 1A and contains just over 10.5 miles of trails," said Jim McGrath, open space and natural resource program manager for the city, after checking with Ryan Grennan, GIS Coordinator.
These walking, hiking, running, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing trails bring in casual visitors, he said, often the park's neighbors who think of it as their back yard, and also Pittsfield High School cross country teams' home course for racing and practices. And students at Reid Middle School, abutting and merging with the park without fence or hedgerow, can't help but think of Springside as their schoolyard.
The engineering department has created a park map with assistance from Pittsfield High School girls' cross-country coach Teresa Apple, who used her GPS on the trails, he said. (To get a map, contact the Community Development office at city hall.)
In late fall, community activist, local historian and writer Joe Durwin led an 'unconventional park stroll' through Springside, outlining the way Pittsfield's largest park has evolved over 103 years of land acquisitions. He led about 30 people through the Dark Pines, past the old reservoir, to open fields.
Listening to, and joining conversations as we walked, I learned that several walkers were thrilled to learn how close the beautiful park and its system of trails is. Walking through these woods carpeted with fallen leaves and across the fields with frosty goldenrods, milkweeds, and asters is always a delight on a pleasant late fall morning, with a chill in the air.
On winter days, the Dark Pines, including both white pine and hemlock offer a deep woods feeling and a comfortable windbreak, a change of scenery. To find them, follow trails south and west from the softball complex on Benedict Road.
One of our favorite activities while exploring Springside in winter, especially following a soft snow, is following animal tracks and attempting to "read" where a fox, rabbit, or squirrel has gone.
And when we find fox tracks, almost always in a straight, deliberate line rather than helter-skelter as dog's tracks often are, we begin asking questions. Are there other tracks? A rabbit or squirrel perhaps? Is the fox following the other tracks?
When the snow gets deeper, we put on our snowshoes and go for a spin.
"Cross country skiing and snowshoeing takes place regularly throughout the winter months," McGrath said.
A recent trek along the trails convinced me: Snowshoe tracks were easy to follow, keeping me on the unmarked trails.
If you go ...
What: Springside Park
Where: 874 North St., Route 7 in Pittsfield.
The main entrance is a paved driveway off of North Street, with views toward the south and west, including sunsets (occasionally spectacular) over the Taconic Range. Trail access begins behind the Springside House and the dirt road veering left off of the driveway; behind the Softball Complex on Benedict Road; the ball field and playground on Springside Avenue, and also past the nearby wading pond, now a cattail marsh, just west of the playground. With a map in hand or on your computer, you will find paths beginning along and at the end of most streets that border the park.

I love XFCE, have used it for years. Even before Gnome 3 and KDE4 and Unity, I was a big XFCE fan.
There are some minor annoyances, though.
First, I've dealt with the session saving, I could never manage to disable session saving entirely, so instead, I made it so the sessions couldn't be saved by rendering the folder read-only. A bit of a hack but it works. That being said, that's not what I'm here about...
Mounting in XFCE is not what it should be.
I get that auto-mounting of partitions has been introduced, but the options in the settings dialogue are kinda not what people expect.
Here is what I like:
Is X USB drive attached to the computer? If yes, mount it until MANUALLY unmounted
If it isn't then sleep.
It shouldn't have to be hot-plugged, I should be able to turn on the computer with things already attached and have them mounted. The act of having it attached via USB in the first place is a sign that I want to access it, I don't just keep things there for their health, I plug things in so as to use them.
So, in short; I wish that XFCE would just assume that if it is connected to the computer, I want it mounted. I never want to manually mount anything ever again, it should just mount because it is there.
I think that the options on the first tab of "Settings » Removable Devices and Media", do exactly what you want. They are just by default not enabled.

So....I have this old 486
What the heck...I don't need it. Should I overclock this bad boy? See how fast it will run.
I know this sounds frickin krazy....but hey....what do I have to lose but time?
Maybe I should just throw the "piece of feces" away...

NEW YORK, July 30 (UPI) -- U.S. company Suspect Detection Systems Inc. says it submitted a tender for a seven-figure contract to supply security equipment to a Southeast Asian country.
The identity of the country wasn't revealed. Suspect Detection Systems, however, it had previously been awarded contracts from a federal agency of the country, which uses Cogito products at national points of entry.
Cogito is a system for identification and interrogation that processes and analyzes collected biometric information and test results in real-time to prevent criminal and terrorism suspects from entering the country.
"The request by the federal agency for Suspect Detection Systems to submit this tender demonstrates the value of our security solutions to existing customers and particularly to federal law enforcement and border control agencies," said Gil Boosidan, chief executive officer of Suspect Detection Systems.
"Our comprehensive system accurately identifies suspects in real-time, contributing to safer, less porous national borders and airports.
"The seven-digit revenues stipulated in the requested tender are expected to yield significant income to Suspect Detection Systems over the next several years."
The company is the only one to bid at the government's request.

Why Speculating on Crashes Is a Good Thing
In case you haven't noticed, the way you receive and process information has undergone a fundamental revolution during the past decade. You now have stuff coming at you a mile a minute from dozens of sources�Web sites, e-mail, print, cellphone and texting, radio, cable. What you may not have noticed is that this has radically changed the way we hear about and think about aircraft accidents.
The salient recent example is Air France 447, in which bits and pieces of information continue to trickle out slow-leak fashion, like a box of jigsaw puzzle pieces with a hole in one corner. Another example is the Colgan crash in Buffalo, where the NTSB was unusually forthcoming with detailed information as the crash investigation got underway.
What this does, of course, is to fuel rampant speculation about causes. In days of yore, we used to consider ourselves smug professionals in showing the discipline and sophistication to avoid speculating until the accident investigators had done their job. Now, it's more or less a free for all in every aviation forum across cyberspace, not to mention the talking heads on cable TV.
Is this is a bad thing? In my view, it's a good thing. For one, it permits the individual reader to place his or her own opinions and beliefs against a broader perspective. Nothing clarifies the thinking like having it exposed to even semi-rigorous review. Second, long threads discussing these sorts of things inevitably draw in participants who have not just informed opinions, but direct, hands on expertise with the airplane's being discussed. I've learned more about the Airbus series of airplanes by blogging about the type than I ever would have otherwise.
The potential downside of this�and it's not much of one for the sophisticated reader�is the closed-loop feedback syndrome. At one point a couple of weeks ago, CNN was quoting the scattershot opinions and views expressed on PPrune as actual news. That's just dumb journalism, in my view, but the savvy viewer should be able to recognize it for what it is. And generally, the participants in AVweb's forums are quite savvy.
So, if you have an opinion, a question or information to add about an aviation accident, by all means feel free to express it. I certainly do. If the idea has high dingbat value, don't worry, someone will let you know. Besides, the world needs dingbats, too.

Watching Atom Egoyan's films make me feel like a peeping Tom. He delves into the most intimate aspects of people's lives, invading their privacy and unveiling their darkest secrets. In his new psychological thriller, "Chloe," Egoyan weaves a web of seductive intrigue from which his audience has no escape.
Julianne Moore plays Catherine Stewart, a successful gynecologist, whose sterile world is corrupt with suspicions and deceit. When her ever flirtatious husband's (Liam Neeson) faithfulness comes into question, Catherine hires a beautiful young prostitute named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to seduce him and report back to her. At the onset of the film we suspect that Chloe has had some major issues in her life when the camera briefly captures a glimpse of razor blade scars on her forearm.
Chloe's explicit details arouse not only Catherine's curiosity but her libido as well. Her husband's betrayal is so utterly devastating that she tells Chloe she doesn't know whether to leave or just hang herself. Clearly, Catherine is a woman whose ageing and loneliness have driven her to the brink. She loses control in that signature Egoyan manner by breaking all the rules.
Things are not as they seem in this multi-level story. Assumptions, motives and actions are all uncertain as Egoyan explores the dark depths of human relationships. Moore, the consummate actress (who should have received an Oscar nod for her outstanding work in "A Single Man"), is pitch-perfect as the severely wounded wife. Neeson's performance is an enigmatic achievement, never allowing the audience to quite fully grasp what his character is up to. And, I was astounded by Seyfried's ("Mamma Mia!") duplicitous depiction of the doe-eyed psycho seductress. This is a film that definitely benefits from superb casting.
"Chloe" is one of those movies that probably won't generate a huge audience or remain in theaters for long. It didn't cost a zillion dollars to make and lacks even a single computer-generated image. But it's a rare gem for the lurking voyeur in all of us.

Here's an update on the status of BRPW closings:
The North Carolina section from the NC 80 access north to Linville is now open. The Parkway still remains closed from NC 80 south to Mount Mitchell.
If you are traveling south-to-north this means you'll have to exit the BRPW at Asheville and then pick it back up via NC 80.
Two detour choices (both are equally interesting rides). Both are described from south-to-north; if traveling north-to-south, reverse (duh!).
#1. 19/23 north from Asheville (also signed as "Future I-26 West") to 19E, through Burnsville & then NC 80 South back to the Parkway. This is the fast sweepers' route, relatively speaking.
#2. I-40 East to 70 East, to 80 North at Marion. This is the tight & twisty route, again, relatively speaking.
You can still ride to Mount Mitchell from Asheville, but once you get there you'll have to back-track to Asheville and then pick up the detour to continue north. (There is a gravel road which drops north to Barnardsville from the Craggy Gardens picnic area; suitable for GS types and madmen on street bikes without linked brakes.)
Parkway officials hope to open the NC 80 to Mitchell stretch by April 29th.
I also understand that there will be a short detour set up near Blowing Rock May 1 -August 25 for a bridge repair.
Ride it before the "season" begins at the end of May, preferably in the middle of the week (unless you have a thing for Winnebago bumpers).
There you have it.

Report shows homelessness is at its lowest levels in years
By Rebecca Kuzins 04/25/2013
The number of homeless people in Pasadena has decreased by almost 37 percent during the past two years, a significant drop that officials attribute to the city's "housing first" strategy and the improved economy.
According to a preliminary report released earlier this month, 772 homeless adults and children were living in Pasadena on Jan. 23, the day the city conducted its 2013 Homeless Count. This figure is 15 percent below the 904 people counted in last year's survey, and much lower than the record high of 1,261 persons in 2011.
Anne Lansing, co-chair of the Pasadena Housing and Homeless Network, said the decrease reflects a basic change in how the city is dealing with homelessness. For many years, Lansing explained, city outreach efforts focused on addressing the issues that cause people to become homeless, such as mental illness or drug and alcohol abuse, before seeking housing for these people. But beginning in 2005, when the city implemented a new 10-year strategy for alleviating homelessness, officials sought to "get people housed first, and then services are provided while they are housed," Lansing explained.
Lansing also attributed the decrease to the economic recovery occurring since the Great Recession began in December 2007. Between 2005 and 2008, the homeless population decreased by 21 percent — from 1,064 to 836 individuals. But the results of the recession were evident by 2009, when there were 1,004 homeless persons — a 17 percent increase over the previous year. The numbers continued to climb, increasing 13 percent to 1,137 in 2010 and 7 percent to 1,216 two years ago.
While the decline indicates that the city and private organizations are making progress in addressing homelessness, some advocates maintain a great deal must still be done. "On the one hand it's gratifying to know that the number has decreased," said Marvin Gross, chief executive officer of Union Station Homeless Services. "But the 772 number still outpaces the number of beds and other available resources that we have to help rebuild people's lives. All of our programs have been filled to capacity for the last several years."
While the overall population declined, the gender, ethnicity, age and family composition of the city's homeless remained relatively unchanged over the past year, with one exception: Only 7 percent (46 individuals) of the total population were ages 18 to 24 in 2013, compared with 13 percent in both 2011 (137 individuals) and 2012 (103 individuals).
According to the report, men accounted for 69 percent and women for 31 percent of this year's homeless population. African Americans made up 36 percent of the total, followed by whites at 33 percent, Hispanic or Latinos at 22 percent, Asians or Pacific Islanders at 2 percent, and American Indians or Alaskan natives at 2 percent.
Fifteen percent of homeless persons were children age 17 or less, while 85 percent were adults, with 5 percent of these adults 62 or older. In addition, members of families made up 27 percent of the total population.

DELTONA, Fla. - A Volusia County judge denied bond for a Deltona man accused of battering his wife, who has since vanished and is believed by deputies to be dead.
Judge Rob Sanders didn't allow 31-year-old Luis Toledo bond because prosecutors asked that he be transported to the Seminole County jail, since the arresting agency is Lake Mary Police Department.
[Video: Luis Toledo's first appearance | PICS: Search continues]
Toledo, who is named the only person of interest in his wife's disappearance, was arrested on battery charges Wednesday because he allegedly slapped his wife, 28-year-old Yessenia Suarez, at her job in Lake Mary the day before she vanished.
Deputies told Local 6 on Thursday night that they have not found the bodies of Suarez and her two children, 8-year-old Michael Otto and 9-year-old Thalia Otto but they did confirm that the three are deceased. They were last seen on Tuesday night.
Deputies haven't said what evidence they have that leads them to believing Suarez and her children are dead.17577078
Toledo has not been charged with Suarez's death as of Friday morning. Deputies said they will continue investigating multiple leads and searching multiple locations.
Toledo's public defender told the judge on Friday, "they jumped the gun to be honest with you and I think even the state will admit that." Public defender Roger Lewis added, "This is a potential first degree murder charge coming."
Prosecutors said they were prepared to fight to keep Toledo behind the bars.
"If he had objected I would have brought out some of the circumstances of our investigation and said he is the subject of a murder investigation," said prosecutor Ryan Will.
Suarez and her children were reported missing on Wednesday and Toledo was named a person of interest in her disappearance on Thursday, according to Volusia County deputies.
A family member called VCSO on Wednesday morning and asked for deputies to conduct a well-being check on 28-year-old Suarez at a home on Covent Gardens Place in Deltona, officials said. Neither Suarez, nor her children were at the home.
Shortly after, Toledo, 31, arrived at the home and was arrested based on battery charges from a domestic violence incident that occurred Tuesday at his wife's workplace--American K-9 Detection Services in Lake Mary.
According to a police report, Toledo said he went to his wife's work to confront her about text messages found on her phone. Toledo also wanted to speak to another employee and her bosses about the alleged indiscretions but couldn't find any.
Police said Toledo slapped Suarez at her job. Toledo, who deputies say is a known gang member, fled before police arrived at the scene, but he was booked into the Volusia County Jail in Daytona Beach on Wednesday.
Local 6 spoke to Suarez's uncle, who says he hopes that police are wrong and that Suarez and her children are alive.
"Why are you going to declare someone dead when there's not a body? Maybe they know something we don't," said Jose Cintron.
Friends and family gathered around Yessenia Suarez's home Friday night, leaving candles, stuffed animals and signs.
"I miss Thalia, I miss her," said 9-year-old Lillian Poles, through tears.
Lillian became friends with Thalia through cheerleading. Both are in the Sanford Seminole cheerleading squad.
Deputies took down the yellow tape that blocked this street and for the first time neighbors are sharing their emotions.
"I wake up everyday crying hoping they are alive," said Suhail Sanchez.
Sanchez lives across the street and said she's known Suarez and her husband Louis Toledo for four years. She's shocked that deputies said Toledo is the only person of interest in the death of his wife and her two children.
"He was the best neighbor, the best dad, the best friend you could have," said Sanchez.
But Toledo remains in jail on no bond after appearing in court after allegedly slapping Suarez at her job in Lake Mary, a day before she vanished.
"I knew they were going through stuff and I knew about their arguments," said Suhail.
"I can't believe they are dead," said neighbor Nicolas Gonzalez. "This is something I never expected someone to do something, if he did it."

In 1885, John Tiller began choreographing groups of ladies in England. His Tiller Girls performed in a straight line and inspired a new type of tap dancing. When he saw them at the Ziegfeld Follies, Russell Markert dreamed of bringing the chorus line style to the USA. In 1925, he founded the Missouri Rockets in St. Louis, MO. After a showman named Samuel L. Roxy discovered their potential, they moved to New York City and changed their name to the Roxyettes. At the same time, people were excited about a new venue, Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center. It was the Great Depression, and people needed a reason to smile.
When the girls appeared at the 1932 opening night as the Radio City Rockettes, they high-kicked their way into history. Their style is called a "tap and kick routine," and according to legend, they never miss a step. Both children and adults enjoy the kick line of 36 dancers, music, and 3-D special effects. As the orchestra plays holiday music, "The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" marches across the stage, and Santa Claus gets ready to bring toys to children.Today, millions of people buy Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets each year to see the beloved family show, so take your seats and "Let Christmas Shine."
