text: Jenkins and Hudson Plugins coming soon in 2013/2 13 September 2013 Stephen-Worthington Agile, Best practices, Plug-ins (0) With the 2013/2 release now less than a month away we wanted to outline some of the major new features. One of the biggest features of the 2013/2 release is the plugin for Jenkins and Hudson. In case you did not know Jenkins/Hudson is an open source Continuous Integration tool similar to CruiseControl. Hudson was the original application but this was forked in 2010 by unhappy open source developers to create Jenkins. PureCM already has plugins for CruiseControl.NET and FinalBuilder - so why do we want another CI plugin? Firstly Jenkins/Hudson has possibly become the most widely used continuous integration tool. This is down to it's active open source community, ease of installation, ease of use and number of plugins. So if you are looking to choose a new CI tool - CruiseControl, Jenkins and FinalBuilder are 3 of the best available. Secondly we already have customers who are using Jenkins and Hudson. So if you are already using Jenkins/Hudson then it will be simple to install the PureCM plugin and get going with the PureCM streams. The final benefit is that Jenkins/Hudson is cross-platform and is more commonly run on a linux server. This is not the case for FinalBuilder or CruiseControl.NET. What does the plugin do? Similar to the CruiseControl plugin the plugin allows Jenkins/Hudson to check if any submits have been performed against a stream and update the workspace to get the latest code. Jenkins/Hudson goes a bit further than CruiseControl in that it lets you browse the workspace files. It also gives you more details about the change - like what files have been added, edited and deleted. When will the plugins be available? Unfortunately the plugin required some changes to the pcm command line so they will not be available until the release of 2013/2 in October 2013. If you want to get a beta version of 2013/2 along with the plugin please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will send you the details.

London: Actor Daniel Radcliffe considers his girlfriend Erin Darke to be his best pal.

The "Harry Potter" star has opened up about his relationship with the actress, who he met on the set of "Kill Your Darlings" in 2012, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I think that's the kind of relationship I always aspire to have with someone I'm in a relationship with. You want that person to be your best friend. In the case of Erin, we definitely are," he said.
He added: "I don't think you can ever control how anything starts. It's not like I seek out that way of meeting people or think I have to be their friend first, but I think it's often a very natural thing to progress from into a relationship.
"The whole modern idea of 'friend zone' and all that stuff - that's a word I don't like very much."

SPOILER ALERT! Do not read if you haven't seen the latest episode of Game of Thrones!
What a long, brutal two weeks it's been. But nowhere near as brutal as last night's final scene of Game of Thrones' 'The Mountain and the Viper.' There have been plenty of vicious deaths on the HBO series – beheadings, poisonings, stabbings, flayings (looking at you, Ramsay Snow Bolton), but none seemed quite as tortuous as Sunday's grudge match between Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane and Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell. No, this fight for Tyrion's life ended with Martell's eyes gouged, teeth knocked out and head crushed to smithereens.
This weekend, my friends and I were placing our wagers on who would emerge victorious in Tyrion's trial by combat. As a non-book reader, I was absolutely sure that Martell would come out as the unlikely victor. "There's no way George R.R. Martin would introduce such an interesting, compelling character, only to kill him off soon after," I foolishly said. I was met with laughter and a reminder that of course he would do that, and of course he did just that. In Game of Thrones the good guys die, the bad guys die, and as we've heard time and again, "all men must die." Oberyn, we pour some of our finest Dornish wine out for you today.
This week's superlatives:
The Inigo Montoya Vengeance Award – Oberyn Martell
Well, almost. "Elisa Martell, Princess of Dorne, you raped her. You murdered her. You killed her children."
Best Laugh in the Seven Kingdoms – Arya Stark
After finding out that yet another family member was killed, Arya let out the laugh of the series. Why exactly was she laughing? The bitter irony of finally making the journey to find out that they missed Lysa by 3 days? Knowing that the Hound was yet again not going to get those riches? Or maybe just reaching her cracking point? It was probably a combination of the three, but all I know is that I want that audio as the personal laugh track for my life.
The Better Late Than Never Award – Sansa Stark
Looks like someone has finally learned how to play this game. Her deceptive description of her Aunt Lysa's "suicide" was just screaming Margaery Tyrell. It's evident that Sansa is no longer a pawn.
Best Reaction GIF of the Night – Ellaria Sand
Worst Intentions, Best Pep Talk – Petyr Baelish
To creepy little Robin Arryn: "Take charge of your life… for as long as it lasts."
The And You Thought Being Friendzoned Was Tough Award – Jorah Mormont
What's worse than an ongoing unrequited love? When the object of your affection finds out that you once spied on her and kicks you to the curb. Poor guy can't catch a break. The good news: We have an interesting, new love connection in Grey Worm and Missandei to keep an eye on.
Best Dressed – Sansa Stark
Sansa has had her first taste of power and her new Maleficent-esque (timely!) get-up and Catelyn Stark-esque brown hair are out to play.
The King of the Monologue – Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion recounting the story about cousin Orson, the simple Lannister who spent his days killing beetles in the garden, to Jaime was perfect. It was intimate, it was familiar and it further confirmed the idea that no one is safe in this world. Not beetles, not the innocent Tyrion, not Oberyn the avenger, not sadistic King Joffrey. Let's hope that Tyrion makes out better than the rest of that company.
Most Horrific Sound – Oberyn Martell's head smash
I watched this scene twice: once without the subtitles, and a second time with them. Reading "teeth rattle" while listening to it happening with bloodcurdling screams only made it more horrific. Runner up: Hearing absolutely nothing as the credits ran – something that hasn't happened on this show in a year. We last had a silent closer following the Red Wedding.

The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume 81, July 1977 - April, 1978 Page: 116
This periodical is part of the collection entitled: Southwestern Historical Quarterly and was provided to The Portal to Texas History by the Texas State Historical Association.

which both he and the whites based their actions. White officialdom re-
sponded to his image, seldom perceiving his real personality and motiva-
tions. He and his people brought themselves to grief because they misinter-
preted white actions. For ethnocentric reasons, neither Apache nor white
man was a fair judge of the other. This is a line of inquiry that should be
applied to other white4Indian conflicts.
The book has some weaknesses, among them the failure to use ethno-
logical literature beyond the work of Morris E. Opler. The author seems
baffled by Apache kinship systems, tribal subdivision, and world-view. The
absence from the bibliography of such works as Edward Spicer's Cycles of
Conquest is a major lapse in a book that attempts the ethnohistorical ap-
proach. While Debo generally eschews heroes and villains, she uses the
term "mendacious" too easily and frequently when addressing official state-
The maps and photographs are excellent. Overall, this is a good book
with a new view of its subject. It should inspire other historians.

Between Sun and Sod: An Informal History of the Texas Panhandle. By
Willie Newbury Lewis. (College Station: Texas A&M University
Press, 1976. Pp. xxii + 178. Illustrations, bibliography, index. $12.50.)
In 1912, when Willie Newbury Lewis went as a bride to the high plains
of the Texas Panhandle with her rancher husband, the rougher aspects
of the frontier had become memories. Yet those memories stuck fast in
the minds of many pioneers, and Mrs. Lewis took the trouble to draw them
out through interviews. The outcome, with some supplementing from pub-
lished sources, was a book, Between Sun and Sod, published in a small
edition in 1938.
Now that book has been brought to life again, with the original illus-
trations by the late Harold D. Bugbee, some added text, and an introduc-
tion by Fred Rathjen. The narrative covers the slaughter of the buffalo
herds, the invasion by the cowmen, the coming of barbed wire to end the
era of free grass, the building of railroads, and the arrival of the early farm-
ers-"fool hoe men," as the ranchers called them. Attention is given to
Doan's Store on the Red River, to the XIT, to Charles Goodnight, to other
ranches and ranchers, and to such towns as Tascosa and Clarendon.
Readers should keep in mind the author's disclaimer that she is not try-
ing to write formal or academic history. Otherwise she might be con-
demned for omitting many important sources in her revised edition, for over-

Re: LAUREANIA ELLEN SPAIN
In reply to:
I have recently started researching my Knight and Spain famlies and in my research came across this info that sounds like it could be your family. In Hamilton Co. IL on 12/17/1854 a Jacob F. Spain married a Sarah M. Knight. Also on 1850 census for Hamilton co ther is a David D. Knight 54 born in NC with the following people
Mary43 TN, James M. 21 TN, Sarah M. 15 IL, William C. 12 IL, Samuel R. 11 IL, Mary J. 9 IL, Louisa E. 8 IL and Captain A. 3 IL. Also in the 1860 Hamilton census there is a Jacob F. Spain 23 TN, Malinda 24IL (don't know if this is correct), Amanda E. 4 IL, John F. 3 IL, William M. 4/12 IL.Living right next to them is a Thomas Spain 51 VA, Polley 52 TN, William D. 17 TN, and George W. 15 TN. If you think this is your family let me know. I'm researching from James M. Knight, Sarah M. brother, and Alcenia Spain, the daughter of Thomas Spain. They would be my 6ggrandparents.

Ideas & Trends -- Battle Stations; Still the Question: What Did You Do in the War?
By ROBIN TONER
Published: February 15, 2004
FOR much of American history, a respectable if not heroic -- stint in the military was almost a prerequisite for high political office. An overwhelming majority of the House of Representatives for many years were veterans. Most presidents had served in the military, and even before the rise of modern image making, presidential campaigns celebrated the candidates' feats in battle, from Yorktown to Tippecanoe to PT-109.
This changed in recent years, as the draft ended and military service became a far less common rite of passage. Some analysts, in fact, saw the rise of a new, post-cold-war, feminized politics in the 1990's, epitomized by the ascent of Bill Clinton and his doggedly domestic agenda. Under this theory, the president-as-warrior seemed almost a throwback.
But not anymore. The president-as-warrior seems painfully relevant, as the first presidential election since the attacks of 9/11 takes off. And the old question -- what did you do in your generation's war? -- is back, with a vengeance, in a new and perhaps more unforgiving context.
Last week, Republicans were scrambling to define and defend President Bush's stint in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam era: how he got there, where he served, how often he reported, whether he fulfilled his obligations.
Democrats, for their part, were trying to defend their likely nominee, Senator John Kerry, against charges that he came back from his much-decorated service in Vietnam to denounce the war, make common cause with the angriest protesters, including Jane Fonda, and vote against military spending.
It was a moment that captured the edgy, altered politics of the post-9/11 age. Republicans were outraged by the suggestion that President Bush, who is running for re-election as a proud and seasoned commander in chief, had not fulfilled his own duties in 1972, when he was assigned to the Alabama Air National Guard.
Democrats were intent on not being painted into their own dangerous corner in a dangerous age -- and on beating back the idea that they are instinctively antiwar. All this played out for an electorate that, compared with four years ago, is acutely aware of the value of the military and the demands put upon it, and considers national security something other than an abstraction.
Analysts say the current debate revolves around the question pushed to the forefront by the war on terrorism: Which candidate is the better commander in chief? How do they behave under stress? Can they relate to the soldiers on the front lines? Has each of them lived, personally, by the values he professes publicly?
Douglas Brinkley, a historian at the University of New Orleans and the author of ''Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War,'' argues that the Clinton years, in retrospect, were an aberration, not the dawn of a new era.
''In 2004, it's the perfect time for that American tradition of waving the bloody shirt to come into our political discourse again,'' he said. ''The soccer moms of the 1990's have become the security moms of 2004.''
And what the candidates are telling them, Mr. Brinkley and others said, is ''I will make you safe.''
Walter Russell Mead, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, argued: ''People need to feel that the president is not going to be fazed by life and death decisions. And the only way you can demonstrate that is by showing you have made some.''
Mr. Kerry has highlighted his Vietnam experience from the start, mindful that as a challenger, he faces a harder test of credibility as commander in chief. In his advertising and on the trail, he is surrounded by veterans, who testify to his bravery and his toughness. It serves to both humanize him and defend against attacks, advisers said, like the ones that came last week, with the circulation of a 1970 photograph showing him at the rally with Ms. Fonda, who is still anathema to many veterans.
''It's hard to do this kind of scurrilous thing with the Jane Fonda pictures against someone who took three bullets in Vietnam,'' said a Kerry adviser. ''It's hard to say that someone who's served in combat, been decorated for bravery, is soft on defense.''
The toughness question is important for the Democratic Party, which for many years has fought the image that it is almost reflexively against using military force, the ''mommy party'' as the commentator Chris Matthews put it years ago. Mr. Kerry's record as a vet, in fact, is one reason that so many Democrats see him as an electable nominee.
Still, Republican leaders argue that what he did later is at least as relevant. ''John Kerry's record of service in our military is honorable,'' Ed Gillespie, the Republican chairman, said last week. ''But his long record in the Senate is one of advocating policies that would weaken our national security.''
Mr. Bush has been building his re-election campaign around his record as an experienced ''war president,'' who has kept the nation safe from further terrorist attacks and unflinchingly protected American interests abroad. His conduct in the days after 9/11, his allies argue, reflects his steadiness and courage, ''demonstrating the same resolve and leadership in the great challenge of our time, the war on terror,'' as Abraham Lincoln did in his, Mr. Gillespie said last week.

Couture Expecting Contractual Ruling This Week
Embattled UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture reportedly expects a Texas state court to rule this week on his contractual standing with the organization, potentially setting up an anticipated showdown between himself and heavyweight king Fedor Emelianenko according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com.
Even though a ruling may be made, Couture believes that his status won't be completely finalized due to possible appeals from the losing party. However Couture remains confident that he will indeed face Emelianenko sometime before his impending retirement in the near future.
"When, where and with what promotion — we don't know," Couture said in the report. "It could happen in the UFC. We just don't know. I want it to happen. Fedor wants it to happen. In some way, shape or form, we're going to make it happen."

Leonard Garcia weighs-in for The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight Leonard Garcia, who was recently arrested along with twelve other members of an alleged drug trafficking organization in Lubbock, Texas, claims that he is completely innocent and plans to fight the charges filed against him.
Garcia made the comments in a recent interview with our friends at MMA Junkie.
Garcia's arrest came after a four-year investigation that found a cocaine ring spanning from El Paso to Lubbock. Federal indictments allege that all who were arrested conspired to sell cocaine for a period of time stretching back seven years.
However Garcia maintains that he was not involved in any wrongdoing.
"I am fighting it because there is nothing but someone saying I was involved," Garcia said. "I hope to have a smile on my face after this is said and done, but I feel like I'm in a fight for my life. I'd like to tell my fans to stick with me and pray that the liar in this case tells the truth."
Garcia was released from jail on bond but is required to return to court on May 5th. Three of those arrested could face up to 40 years in prison and up to a $2 million fine. The others could face up to life in prison and up to a $ 4 million fine.
Garcia is best known for engaging in a three-round war with lightweight phenom Roger Huerta in Garcia's debut with the Ultimate Fighting Championship last April. The Jackson's Submission Fighting product recently knocked out highly touted featherweight Hiroyuki Takaya at a WEC event in February.
His status with the organization is still unknown at this time.

Update 4:20 PM: Our friends at MMA Junkie are reporting that Garcia has been charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
World Extreme Cagefighting featherweight Leonard Garcia was reportedly arrested along with twelve other members of an alleged drug trafficking organization in Lubbock, Texas.
The news comes from Lubbock's KCBD NBC 11.
The arrests from after a four-year investigation that found a cocaine ring spanning from El Paso to Lubbock. Federal indictments allege that all who were arrested conspired to sell cocaine for a period of time stretching back seven years.
Garcia and the others are currently incarcerated in Lubbock County Jail. According to the report, three of those arrested could face up to 40 years in prison and up to a $2 million fine. The others could face up to life in prison and up to a $ 4 million fine.

Some thoughts and notes from last night's WEC 32: Condit vs Prater…
Good Show, Good Production
Last night's event was definitely fun to watch. The televised bouts had a lot of everything - spectacular knockouts, slick submissions. Even the most boring fight on the broadcast had a highlight reel ending. The main thing that I wanted to touch on was the production. Sam Caplan makes a great point when he says that last night's show was perhaps the best MMA show he's ever seen on basic cable. I couldn't agree more.
The commentating was great. Aside from Frank Mir's screams of excitement once in a while during a bout, he did fantastic as always. Even Urijah Faber guest commentating during the Torres-Beebe fight was interesting to listen to. He came off as being a lot more than just a California surfer like I'm sure the casual fans portray him as.
Did anyone else notice that their was a semi-entrance where the fighters came out last night? Granted it was only a lit-up WEC sign above the curtain but still, it's at least a start for those out there who still long to see a Zuffa-promoted event use the ramp again.
Strange Judging in Tapia-Banuelos
I realize it was a pretty even fight for the most part but how that one was scored a draw confuses the hell out of me. Antonio Banuelos did a good job of controlling the third round but I still thought that Manny Tapia earned a unanimous decision for the first two, even though a split call was more likely.
I'm still surprised that no one scored a 10-8 first round for Tapia. He knocked Banuelos down twice in the round and came very close to finishing him. Just like in the Bisping-Hamill fight, Cecil Peoples gave the fight to the wrong person again.

Carlos Condit weighs-in for WEC 32: Condit vs Prater. Photo property of World Extreme Cagefighting.
New Mexico native Carlos Condit avenged the first loss of his career and retained his WEC welterweight title as he submitted Carlo Prater in front of a supportive crowd of 4,648 inside Rio Rancho's Santa Ana Star Center last night.
The fight was one of three title bouts that headlined World Extreme Cagefighting's first venture outside of Las Vegas since UFC parent company Zuffa purchased the promotion in the fall of 2006.
After exchanging a series of leg kicks with Condit, Prater was able to slam his opponent down to the mat in impressive fashion. However Condit immediately went on the offensive, attempting a series of submissions that included tries for a triangle, armbar, and a guillotine.
While sitting inside of Condit's guard, Prater (21-6-1) made the mistake of digging his head into Condit's stomach, allowing the hometown hero to sink in a fight-ending guillotine from the bottom. After the fight, Condit (22-4) pointed out that it would be impossible for him to be uncomfortable fighting off of his back at this point.
"I'm very comfortable on my back, like I've proven before," Condit said during a post-fight interview with Frank Mir. "All my wins in the WEC so far have come by submission. I'm not complaining at all."
While Condit was able to keep his belt around his waist, the two other champions defending their titles didn't fair so well.
Team Punishment's Rob McCullough defended multiple takedown attempts while not mounting much of his well-known offense during the first two rounds against Jamie Varner, who had recently converted over from the UFC's lightweight division.
Varner's early scored takedowns and aggressiveness put him ahead on points going into the third round. However it was Varner who was on the wrong end of a right hook courtesy of McCullough. After the blow knocked his mouthpiece out, Varner intelligently asked referee Steve Mazzagatti if he could have it back in his mouth, a decision that ultimately gave Varner more time to recover from the shot.
When the fight was restarted, Varner (14-2) rushed McCullough (15-4) out of the gate with a flurry of lefts and rights. A stunned McCullough continued to take unanswered shots, going down to a knee twice before finally being finished off with a devastating straight right that forced Mazzagatti to step in and save a bloodied and battered "Razor" Rob.
Varner, the newly-crowned lightweight champion, revealed his plan to strike against the renowned Muay-Thai specialist after the fight.
"I grew up boxing," said Varner,". "Everybody called me a wrestler. He expected me to wrestle. So I kind of put my wrestling on the back-burner during this training camp and really worked on my striking. It really paid off tonight."

Featherweights Hiroyuki Takaya and Leonard Garcia will both make their WEC debut and against each other at the promotion's next event on February 13th according to a report by Sherdog's Jordan Breen.
The WEC reportedly inked a deal with Takaya earlier this month. Takaya returned to 145 lbs after a stint at lightweight where he fell to Gesias Calvancante and Gilbert Melendez. Since dropping back down to featherweight, Takaya has been victorious in his last two fights which include an impressive stoppage victory over Antonio Carvalho.
Garcia will be coming to the WEC from the UFC where he fought to a record of 1-2. Garcia's trainer, Greg Jackson, announced his client's move to 145 lbs last month.
Known for putting on an exciting fight here and there, Garcia came out on the wrong end of a unanimous decison against Roger Huerta in a fight of the year canidate in his UFC debut in April. Garcia then split a pair of fights against TUF alumni Alan Berube and Cole Miller.

- MMA Weekly is reporting that Leonard Garcia will be moving to the WEC to compete in the featherweight division according to Garcia's trainer Greg Jackson:
"Leonard (Garcia) is such a great fighter and a strong guy, but he walks around at like three pounds over weight," said Jackson about his fighter's move to featherweight. "He had to eat the morning of the weigh-ins the last time. We've got to bring him down a weight class where he's going to be more effective. We talked after his last fight and 145 is where he's going to be. I'm really looking forward to proving ourselves in that division in the WEC."

- Sam Caplan has some pretty big news to report…
First off, apparently Andre Gusmao will not be fighting David Heath at UFC 81 because he's not even signed with the UFC:
Several reports have surfaced in the last 48 hours claiming that Andre Gusmao will be debuting for the UFC at UFC 81 on February 2 against David Heath. Pro Elite has learned that those reports are incorrect, as the IFL has a contract option to retain Gusmao for the 2008 season and will be exercising that option.
The UFC had been in discussions with someone falsely claiming to be representing Gusmao and misrepresenting information during the faux negotiations. According to the source, the UFC was contacted by the IFL soon after hearing the reports of Gusmao's departure.
Secondly, Caplan has learned that M-1 Global is leaning towards holding their first-ever event at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ in March, which is good for this site because of a short traveling distance.

UFC Fight Night 11
Din Thomas vs. Spencer Fisher
Chris Leben vs. Terry Martin
Nate Diaz vs. Junior Assuncao
Mike Swick vs. Jonathan Goulet
Gray Maynard vs. Joe Veres
Cole Miller vs. Leonard Garcia
Pete Sell vs. Nate Quarry
Leonard Garcia has confirmed with MMA Weekly that he will be taking on The Ultimate Fighter 5 contestant Allen "Monstah" Berube during the finale of the reality show on June 23.
"I'm very excited," said Garcia about the fight. "Training has been going good. I took a week off after the Huerta fight [April 7th] and then got back in the gym and I've been there ever since. I'm up in Colorado right now working with Duane Ludwig on my stand-up, so I'm not swinging for the fences when I'm not supposed to."
Just like before his UFC debut against Roger Huerta, Garcia will once again be doing the majority of his training with Greg Jackson's highly touted camp in New Mexico.
"At first, for the Huerta fight, Greg was just getting me in shape, trying to make sure I could go all three rounds. Now it is different, it's more spot specific. Greg finds the gaps in my game and then we work on things to put it all together. My wrestling is coming along, my takedown defense is better."

Last week we reported on this blog the problems that surround the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.
The World Health Organisation estimates that 9 million cases of TB are diagnosed each year, many of which result in death because of ineffective treatment.
Yesterday, the Guardian reported that the WHO had warned of a new drug-resistant form of TB that is spreading throughout the world, particularly hitting poorer countries, where drugs are often misused. The most deadly strain is believed to be resistant to almost all forms of treatment.
At a meeting to establish a coordinated response to the problem, held in Beijing, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Chinese government announced a $33m project to pioneer new forms of diagnosis and medication.
Delegates heard that fewer than 5% of the estimated cases of drug-resistant TB were being detected and fewer than 3% of sufferers actually received treatment that met WHO standards.
China has one of the world's highest rates of drug-resistant TB, and it is becoming increasingly virulent. High rates of HIV in countries like South Africa leave weakened immune systems particularly vulnerable to infection. A similar problem exists in Uganda, where 60% of the 80,000 people diagnosed with TB each year are also HIV-positive.
The countries represented at the meeting are due to draw up five-year plans to prevent and control the spread of drug-resistant TB. China will be conducting large-scale testing of "new tools and delivery techniques to fight TB", said Bill Gates. The project will initially cover 20 million people, but will be expanded to 100 million over the next five years.
These are undoubtedly positive steps, but how much of an impact will five-year plans and new research really have on sufferers on the ground – for example, those living in rural communities in countries like Uganda or South Africa - who don't have access to a ready supply of drugs or even a decent, local, healthcare system? Surely these issues need to be factored into any government plans if real change is ever going to occur.


text: We are very lucky to have such a gorgeous girl grace the covers of FTV. Brand new to masturbating on video, she is kinky enough to try. Checking her very long sexy legs out while she walks through a series of shops, we notice that her skirt is just a little too short, and we take a peek... then she enters a cigar shop, and spreads her legs and does a little rubbing up the skirt! Finding a more quiet area at this shopping area she starts masturbating, and gives us nice views of her big succulent breasts. Getting startled by an employee that walks by, she returns home to masturbate with a vibrator on the couch, and has a very strong orgasm that gets her all sweaty! Touching up her makeup and fixing her hair, we stare at this gorgeous face, then watch her change into some pink lingerie and head over to the pink room for some nice extreme closeups of her private parts. Changing into a sexy black dress & heels, she takes on the Big Ten toy, and manages to ride it so deep, down to the base! It makes her sore though, so she brings herself to orgasm with a vibrator on the black couch. More flashing at a restaurant and a gas station, she returns home for a sensual breast & butt massage. Then pulls out a very strong vibrator, and brings herself to another strong orgasm. The video ends in a sensual shower... and its nap time for this beauty.

working on someone else's junk here. without getting into what a mess the whole trailer was, and what-all I have had to do to it to get it legal and roadworthy, I just have a couple questions about "this" part of the project;
This thing is your typical neglected 16' car trailer, and it has a tandem axle, and has brakes just on the front axle. To me I would think that is backwards, If only 1 axle has them I would think you would want it to be the rear axle.
Other question, When adjusting the shoes to the drum do you want them "tight" (yeah I know not dragging, just "close") or should they be a little loose? This being asked, as compared to how you'd adjust up a car or pickemup truck's drum brakes.
How would this adjustment affect the way you'd set the thumbwheel on the brake box inside the cab? (if at all)

Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh could stay with his French club.
"Normally, I stay at Bordeaux. After that depends on the president." said the 25-year-old, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal and Tottenham.
President Jean-Louis Triaud is optimistic Chamakh will stay put.
"The case of Chamakh is very special. He is a boy who has developed strong emotional ties with the club over a very long time," he told lequipe.fr.
"We will try to convince him to stay, by demonstrating that he plays in a favourable environment and if he is happy, he's happy every day.
"I'm not sure he would find the same thing in another country, including one that appeals to him, and in which he does not have many friends, although I know he is capable of achieving.
"I think it is likely he will be seen in the navy and white next year. At 25 years old, he still has time to leave. It is almost fatherly advice, but it would be better for him to stay with us."

THE signing of a memorandum of understanding between the South Seas Cruises's Vinaka Fiji and the Ministry of Youth and Sports has enabled Yasawa High School to offer agricultural studies to vocational students.
Seventeen students are enrolled in the course which teaches students the basics of farming and farm management.
Vinaka Fiji operations manager Elenoa Nimacere said the two-year course was a sustainable way for people from villages in and around Naviti Island to have other forms of income.
"We're trying to introduce more ways these people can make more money by setting up their own farms and with this knowledge, these students can take it back to their own communities and help their people," she said.
"We are very grateful to the ministry for coming on board and allowing Yasawa High School to use this curriculum and integrate into the vocational school."
School principal Sala Vereivalu said the program had been encouraging.
"We expect a lot of positive outcomes from this program as it teaches students to set up their own farms and how to manage it," she said.
"In a way this also contributes to decreasing urban drift where students go to the main land to search for work.
"With this they can set up their own businesses at home and supply their produce to nearby hotels."

A campaign to recognise a kind-hearted Milngavie character who died more than 20 years ago is gathering pace on Facebook.
Bertie Waddell was a regular around Milngavie town centre in the late 1970s and 80s, sitting on the bench outside the Fraser Centre, but it is believed he died sometime between 1985 and the early 90s.
But following a groundswell of interest on new Facebook site, The Milngavie Moaner, there is interest in dedicating a bench to him with a plaque on it. Lesley Crag, from Baxers Newsagent, said: "He was such a lovely man and it would be so nice to get a bench dedicated to him.
"I think he died in the mid 1980s of TB. He loved motorbikes and was a keen reader. He went into the Old Black Bull pub, where M&S is now, to read. The staff there used to give him a free dinner."
Not much is known about why Bertie came to be homeless. It is thought he would sleep under the bridge at the start of the West Highland Way near were Greggs the baker is now."
Gillian Bessant said on Facebook: "They did something for Magnus Magnuson so why not our Bertie. I think it should be the bench under the bridge at Greggs. It's peaceful there."
And Walter McComb added: "Bertie was certainly a gentleman and would always be happy to pass the time of day with you. You never heard him saying a bad word about anyone."
However Milngavie councillor Jim Gibbons was not in favour, saying there were many other more deserving cases. He said: "We have one commemorative bench in Milngavie. I don't think we want to see every bench in Milngavie with a commemorative plaque on. There are many important individuals who could warrant a bench."

AFRICOM launches first-ever online elections
The UNESCO Museums Section is assisting the International Council of African Museums (AFRICOM) with the development and launching of the first-ever online elections for the AFRICOM Board of Directors, which are taking place from 4 to 30 November 2011
By using an electronic voting system offered by the Ballot Bin platform (www.ballotbin.com), AFRICOM and UNESCO have developed this solution to hold virtual elections so that AFRICOM members may vote for the new members of their Board. All AFRICOM members will be sent an invitation by e-mail through the AFRICOM List-Serve to vote beginning on Friday 4 November. The Board of Directors is composed of Representatives of each region of Africa: North, West, Central, East, Southern and the Indian Ocean Islands.
"We are counting on all of our members to participate in these online elections and choose a strong team of leaders to help the AFRICOM network ensure a secure, rich and vibrant African Heritage," said Dr Rudo Sithole, Executive Director of AFRICOM.
This collaboration is a result of the partnership agreement between UNESCO and AFRICOM, which aims to reinforce communications, awareness-raising and networking among professional museum community in Africa.
AFRICOM is a membership-based international NGO association for Museums, heritage professionals and stakeholders. It is committed to the safeguarding, conserving, and sharing of African Heritage through resource mobilization, advocacy, and support of capacity-building efforts, networking and awareness-raising so as to achieve a rich vibrant heritage in Africa.

With Nebula and Hugo award nomination season upon us, I'd like to make you aware of the various projects and publications I've done over the last year.
First, the projects I've been involved with as a publisher (if you are a voting-eligible member of SFWA/HWA, contact me directly and we'll arrange review copies) :
The Crimson Pact Volume One and The Crimson Pact Volume Two. These anthologies are huge - over 500 pages in print each - and are well worth checking out. There are many good, and several truly excellent stories in each anthology to nominate separately, as well as the anthologies as a whole. There is literally too much for me to talk about all of the stories, and so many of them are good that it's hard for me to pick out any to single out. If forced to, I'd probably start with these four (two from each volume):
* Inside Monastic Walls by Chante McCoy (Vol 1)
* Of the Breaking of Stars by Chris Pierson (Vol 1)
* Last Rites in the Big Green Empty by Lon Prater (Vol 2)
* Three Transformations by Nayad Monroe (Vol 2)
Net Impact - not only an excellent spy thriller in its own right, but also features some striking cover art by Kathleen Tennant. While I loved the spy thrillers I read in childhood, I eventually came to realize that those guys were the jerks who made fun of me and picked on me. Dick Thornsby isn't that guy. He's a regular guy... except he's also a secret agent. Net Impact is a spy thriller for those who loved spy thrillers... but have also grown up.
Now, I'll present a full list of my works that appeared this last year, but I would ask you to nominate Broken in the short fiction/short story category. There's a lot of reasons, but the simplest one is that I still choke up when I read it out loud, and Norm Sherman absolutely nailed it on the Drabblecast.
Short Fiction:
Broken, published Spring 2011 in OnSpec #84 and in audio 12/5/11 by The Drabblecast - Listen to Norm's reading on the Drabblecast, folks. If you have a child who has issues, have tissues handy.
Hard Lesson, published in the September 2011 issue of Three Lobed Burning Eye . This is an ambitious story. There's a lot of things I do well - especially in keeping "weird west" from being a simple retread.
Woman, Monster, Mother, published in the January 2011 issue of The Edge of Propiniquity. - Grendel, a bit of hardboiled detective story, and with a cameo by Taylor, my old black lab who passed away last year.
Freedom of Movement, published 10/1/11 Resident Aliens. - Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Perhaps one of the more controversial stories I've ever written, it was roundly rejected (along with an insulting rejection letter) by an "inclusive" magazine, only to be snapped up by Resident Aliens.
Hero, Everyday, published 3/22/11 Daikaijuzine. You will read something into this story. What you read into it says a lot.
Related Works:
Digital Publishing Overview - SFWA Bulletin Issue #195, Fall 2011. Where I take a serious stab at an overview of the state of digital publishing.

So You Want to Make an eBook? - Wherein I try to get you the information you need to roll your own eBooks at a reasonable price. :)
Ideatrash - Yes, the blog itself. I try to be the (mostly) reasonable guy, especially about eBooks and digital publishing and then spread that reasonableness through the blog. We've gone over eBooks, contracts, real-life experiences and numbers, and all sorts of good stuff for writers. Usually after I've managed to screw it up for myself.
Do you have anything that's eligible for nomination? If so, put it in the comments!

For Uninsured Young Adults, Do-It-Yourself Medical Care
By CARA BUCKLEY
Published: February 18, 2009
They borrow leftover prescription drugs from friends, attempt to self-diagnose ailments online, stretch their diabetes and asthma medicines for as long as possible and set their own broken bones. When emergencies strike, they rarely can afford the bills that follow.
''My first reaction was to start laughing -- I just kept saying, 'No way, no way,' '' Alanna Boyd, a 28-year-old receptionist, recalled of the $17,398 -- including $13 for the use of a television -- that she was charged after spending 46 hours in October at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan with diverticulitis, a digestive illness. ''I could have gone to a major university for a year. Instead, I went to the hospital for two days.''
In the parlance of the health care industry, Ms. Boyd, whose case remains unresolved, is among the ''young invincibles'' -- people in their 20s who shun insurance either because their age makes them feel invulnerable or because expensive policies are out of reach. Young adults are the nation's largest group of uninsured -- there were 13.2 million of them nationally in 2007, or 29 percent, according to the latest figures from the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit research group in New York.
Gov. David A. Paterson of New York has proposed allowing parents to claim these young adults as dependents for insurance purposes up to age 29, as more than two dozen other states have done in the past decade. Community Catalyst, a Boston-based health care consumer advocacy group, released a report this month urging states to ease eligibility requirements to allow adult children access to their parents' coverage.
''There's a big sense of urgency,'' said Susan Sherry, the deputy director of Community Catalyst. She described uninsured young adults as especially vulnerable. ''People are losing their jobs, and a lot of jobs don't carry health insurance. They're new to the work force, they've been covered under their parents or school plans, and then they drop off the cliff.''
If Governor Paterson's proposal is approved, an estimated 80,000 of the 775,000 uninsured young adults across New York State would be covered under their parents' insurance plans. That would leave hundreds of thousands to continue relying on a scattershot network of improvised and often haphazard health care remedies.
In dozens of interviews around the city, these so-called young invincibles described the challenge of living in a high-priced city on low-paying jobs, where staying healthy is one part scavenger hunt and one part balancing act, with high stakes and no safety net.
''For a lot of people, it's a choice between being able to survive in New York and getting health insurance,'' said Hogan Gorman, an actress who was hit by a car five years ago and chronicled her misadventures in ''Hot Cripple,'' a one-woman show that was a hit at last summer's Fringe Festival. ''There was no way that I could pay my rent, buy insurance and eat.''
Nicole Polec, a 28-year-old freelance photographer living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, said she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and has a client who procures Ritalin on her behalf from a sympathetic doctor who has seen Ms. Polec's diagnosis. Ms. Polec's roommate, Fara D'Aguiar, 26, treated her last flu with castoff amoxicillin -- ''probably expired,'' she said -- given to her by a friend.
When Robert Voris last had health insurance, in 2007, he stockpiled insulin pumps, which are inserted under the skin to constantly monitor blood-sugar levels and administer the drug accordingly. He said the tubing for the pump costs $900 a month, so lately he has instead been injecting insulin with a syringe. But Mr. Voris, 27, a journalism student at the City University of New York who works at a restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn, is constantly worried about diabetes-induced seizures like the one that sent him to the hospital last summer. (Because it happened at work, his boss covered the ambulance and other bills.)
''That's definitely the concern: what happens if I have to pay for this?'' he said. ''And the answer, I guess, is credit cards. Hopefully it won't happen until I find a job that actually gives me insurance, which probably won't happen anytime in the near future, given the way the economy works.''
Most family insurance policies cut off dependents when they turn 19 or finish college, and many young adults start out in New York cobbling together part-time or freelance work with no benefits. To qualify for Medicaid, a single adult can earn no more than $706 a month -- less than what a full-time minimum-wage earner makes. Yet the average insurance premium for a single adult is $900 a month, according to a spokesman for the State Insurance Department.
''At this point, I can't really justify it monetarily,'' said Ian McElroy, a musician who moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, from Omaha, last year. ''It's not like I think I'm invincible, I'm 29, the world can't touch me. It's the very opposite of that. I've got to make rent and eat.''
With insurance out of reach, Mr. McElroy has taken to playing doctor, using online resources like WebMD, which offers medical news, descriptions of various diseases and drugs, and discussion groups. As he spoke, Mr. McElroy was icing his feet, which, one day in January, had become cripplingly painful; he was unable to walk.
''I think I have plantar fasciitis,'' he said. ''I've been laid out for two weeks.''
(Even if the Paterson proposal passes, Mr. McElroy, like Mr. Voris and Ms. Polec and her roommate, would not qualify because their parents live out of state.)

The English Navigation Acts were a series of laws which restricted the use of foreign shipping for trade between England (after 1707 Great Britain) and its colonies, which started in 1651. At their outset, they were a factor in the Anglo-Dutch Wars. Later, they were one of several sources of resentment in the American colonies against Great Britain, helping cause the American Revolutionary War.
Statutes had periodically been passed concerning shipping and the regulation of English trade since 1381.[1] Examples of the latter were the charters establishing Staple ports.
The major impetus for the Navigation Acts was the ruinous deterioration of English trade in the aftermath of the Eighty Years War, and the concomitant lifting of the Spanish trade-embargoes on trade between the Spanish Empire and the Dutch Republic. The end of the embargoes in 1647 unleashed the full power of the Amsterdam Entrepôt and other Dutch competitive advantages in world trade. Within a few years, English merchants had practically been overwhelmed in the trade on the Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean and the Levant. Even the trade with English colonies (partly still in the hands of the royalists, as the English Civil War was in its final stages and the Commonwealth of England had not yet imposed its authority throughout the English colonies) was "engrossed" by Dutch merchants. English direct trade was crowded out by a sudden influx of commodities from the Levant, Mediterranean and the Spanish and Portuguese empires, and the West Indies via the Dutch Entrepôt, carried in Dutch bottoms and for Dutch account.[2]
The obvious solution seemed to be to seal off the English and Scottish markets to these unwanted imports. The precedent was the Act the Greenland Company had obtained from Parliament in 1645 prohibiting the import of whale products into England, except in ships owned by that company. This principle was now generalized. In 1648 the Levant Company petitioned Parliament for the prohibition of imports of Turkish goods "...from Holland and other places but directly from the places of their growth."[3] Baltic traders added their voices to this chorus. In 1650 the Standing Council for Trade and the Council of State of the Commonwealth prepared a general policy designed to impede the flow of Mediterranean and colonial commodities via Holland and Zeeland into England.[4]
For further detail of the background see First Anglo–Dutch War.
The Navigation Act bill was passed in October 1651 by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England led by Oliver Cromwell, reinforcing a longstanding principle of government policy that English trade should be carried in English vessels. It was reaction to the failure of an English diplomatic mission to The Hague seeking a joining of the Commonwealth by the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, after the States of Holland had made some cautious overtures to Cromwell to counter the monarchal aspirations of stadtholder William II of Orange. The stadtholder had suddenly died however and the States were now embarrassed by Cromwell taking the idea quite too seriously. The English proposed the joint conquest of all remaining Spanish and Portuguese possessions. England would take America and the Dutch Africa and Asia. As the Dutch, however, had just ended their war with Spain and already taken over most Portuguese colonies in Asia, they saw little advantage in this grandiose scheme and proposed a free trade agreement as an alternative to a full political union. This again was unacceptable to the British, who would be unable to compete on such a level playing field, and was seen by them as a deliberate affront.
The Act banned foreign ships from transporting goods from outside Europe to England or its colonies and banned third party countries' ships from transporting goods from a country elsewhere in Europe to England. These rules specifically targeted the Dutch who controlled a large section of Europe's international trade and even much of England's coastal shipping. It excluded the Dutch from essentially all trade with England, as the Dutch economy was competitive, not complementary with the English, and the two countries therefore exchanged few commodities. This Anglo-Dutch trade, however, constituted only a small fraction of total Dutch trade flows. The Act is often mentioned as a major cause of the First Anglo-Dutch War, though it was only part of a larger British policy to engage in war after the negotiations had failed. The English naval victories in 1653 (the Battle of Portland, the Battle of the Gabbard and the Battle of Scheveningen) showed the supremacy of the Commonwealth navy in home waters. However, farther afield the Dutch predominated and were able to close down English commerce in the Baltic and the Mediterranean. Both countries held each other in a stifling embrace.[5]
The Treaty of Westminster (1654) ended the impasse. The Dutch acknowledged the Act in this peace, but it seems to have had very little influence on their trade. For England the Act offered only limited solace. It could not limit the deterioration of England's overseas trading position, except in the cases where England herself was the principal consumer, like the Canaries' wine trade and the trade in Puglian olive oil. In the trade with the West Indies the Dutch kept up a flourishing "smuggling" trade, thanks to the preference of English planters for Dutch import goods and the better deal the Dutch offered in the sugar trade. The Dutch colony of New Netherland offered a loophole (through intercolonial trade) wide enough to drive a shipload of Virginian tobacco through.[6]
The 1651 Act (like other legislation of the Commonwealth period) was declared void on The Restoration of Charles II, having been passed by 'usurping powers'. Parliament therefore passed new legislation. This is generally referred to as the "Navigation Acts", and (with some amendments) remained in force for nearly two centuries.
The Navigation Act 1660 added a twist to Oliver Cromwell's act; ships' crews had to be three-quarters English, and "enumerated" products not produced by the mother country, such as tobacco, cotton, and sugar were to be shipped from the colonies only to England or other English colonies.
The Navigation Act 1663 (also called the Act for the Encouragement of Trade) required all European goods bound for America (or other colonies) to be shipped through England or Wales first. In England, the goods would be unloaded, inspected, paid duties, and reloaded. The trade had to be carried in English bottoms (i.e. vessels), which included those of its colonies. Furthermore, imports of 'enumerated commodities' (such as sugar, rice, and tobacco) had to be landed and pay tax before going on to other countries. This increased the cost to the colonies, and increased the shipping time.
This Act entitled colonial shipping and seamen to enjoy the full benefits of the exclusive provisions. There was no bar put in the way of colonists who might wish to trade in their own shipping with foreign plantations or European countries other than England, provided they did not violate the enumerated commodity clause.[7]
"English bottoms" included vessels built in English plantations (i.e. colonies), for example in America.
The Acts were in full force for a short time only. After the Second Anglo-Dutch War, which ended disastrously for England, the Dutch obtained the right to ship commodities produced in their German hinterland to England as if these were Dutch goods. Even more importantly, England conceded the principle of "free ship, free good" which provided freedom of molestation by the Royal Navy of Dutch shipping on the high seas, even in wars in which the Dutch Republic was neutral. This more or less gave the Dutch freedom to conduct their "smuggling" unhindered as long as they were not caught red-handed in territorial waters controlled by England. These provisions were reconfimed in the Treaty of Westminster (1674) after the Third Anglo-Dutch War.[8]
The 1733 Molasses Act levied heavy duties on the trade of sugar from the French West Indies to the American colonies, forcing the colonists to buy the more expensive sugar from the British West Indies instead. The law was widely flouted, but efforts by the British to prevent smuggling created hostility and contributed to the American Revolution. The Molasses Act was the first of the Sugar Acts. The act was set to expire in 1763, and in 1764 was renewed as the Sugar Act, which caused unrest with the colonists.
The Navigation Acts were repealed in 1849 under the influence of a laissez-faire philosophy. The Navigation Acts were passed under the economic theory of mercantilism under which wealth was to be increased by restricting trade to colonies rather than with free trade. By 1849 "a central part of British capital's import strategy was to reduce the cost of food through cheap foreign imports and in this way to reduce the cost of maintaining labour power"(van Houten). Repealing the Navigation Acts along with the Corn Laws served this purpose, but also led to the break up of the formal British Empire.
The introduction of the legislation caused Britain's shipping industry to develop in isolation. However, it had the advantage to English shippers of severely limiting the ability of Dutch ships to participate in the carrying trade to England. The Navigation Acts, by reserving British colonial trade to British shipping, may have significantly assisted in the growth of London as a major entrepôt for American colonial wares at the expense of Dutch cities. The maintenance of a certain level of merchant shipping and of trade generally also facilitated a rapid increase in the size and quality of the Royal Navy, which eventually (after the Anglo-Dutch Alliance of 1689 limited the Dutch navy to three-fifths of the size of the English one) led to Britain becoming a global superpower until the mid 20th Century. That naval might, however, never was sufficient to limit Dutch trading power. The reason was that the Dutch trading system rested on such a degree of leverage over overseas markets and shipping resources, combined with a financial power that was only overtaken by Great Britain during the 18th century (after the Glorious Revolution), that it enabled the Dutch to put sufficient pressure on the English to prevent them from sustaining naval campaigns of sufficient length to wrest maritime concessions from the Dutch.[9]
The Navigation Acts, while enriching Britain, caused resentment in the colonies and contributed to the American Revolution. The Navigation Acts required all imports either to be sold in England or bought from England no matter what price could be obtained elsewhere. The rationale was the theory of Mercantilism: the more money one country or colony has, the more power it will hold. The colonists resorted to smuggling. Writs of assistance were issued to enforce the Navigation Acts.

|Navigation Acts
|The English Navigation Acts were a series of laws which, beginning in 1651, restricted foreign shipping. Resentment against the Navigation Acts was a cause of the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the American Revolutionary War. The following is the text of the 1651 ordinance.— Excerpted from Navigation Acts on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
For the increase of the shipping and the encouragement of the navigation of this nation, which under the good providence and protection of God is so great a means of the welfare and safety of this Commonwealth: be it enacted by this present Parliament, and the authority thereof, that from and after the first day of December, one thousand six hundred fifty and one, and from thence forwards, no goods or commodities whatsoever of the growth, production or manufacture of Asia, Africa or America, or of any part thereof; or of any islands belonging to them, or which are described or laid down in the usual maps or cards of those places, as well of the English plantations as others, shall be imported or brought into this Commonwealth of England, or into Ireland, or any other lands, islands, plantations, or territories to this Commonwealth belonging, or in their possession, in any other ship or ships, vessel or vessels whatsoever, but only in such as do truly and without fraud belong only to the people of this Commonwealth, or the plantations thereof, as the proprietors or right owners thereof; and whereof the master and mariners are also for the most part of them of the people of this Commonwealth, under the penalty of the forfeiture and loss of all the goods that shall be imported contrary to this act; as also of the ship (with all her tackle, guns and apparel) in which the said goods or commodities shall be so brought in and imported; the one moiety to the use of the Commonwealth, and the other moiety to the use and behoof of any person or persons who shall seize the goods or commodities, and shall prosecute the same in any court of record within this Commonwealth.
And it is further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no goods or commodities of the growth, production, or manufacture of Europe, or of any part thereof, shall after the first day of December, one thousand six hundred fifty and one, be imported or brought into this Commonwealth of England, or into Ireland, or any other lands, islands, plantations or territories to this Commonwealth belonging, or in their possession, in any ship or ships, vessel or vessels whatsoever, but in such as do truly and without fraud belong only to the people of this Commonwealth, as the true owners and proprietors thereof, and in no other, except only such foreign ships and vessels as do truly and properly belong to the people of that country or place, of which the said goods are the growth, production or manufacture; or to such ports where the said goods can only be, or most usually are first shipped for transportation; and that under the same penalty of forfeiture and loss expressed in the former branch of this Act, the said forfeitures to be recovered and employed as is therein expressed.
And it is further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no goods or commodities that are of foreign growth, production or manufacture, and which are to be brought into this Commonwealth in shipping belonging to the people thereof, shall be by them shipped or brought from any other place or places, country or countries, but only from those of their said growth, production, or manufacture, or from those ports where the said goods and commodities can only, or are, or usually have been first shipped for transportation; and from none other places or countries, under the same penalty of forfeiture and loss expressed in the first branch of this Act, the said forfeitures to be recovered and employed as is therein expressed.
And it is further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no sort of cod-fish, ling, herring, pilchard, or any other kind of salted fish, usually fished for and caught by the people of this nation; nor any oil made, or that shall be made of any kind of fish whatsoever, nor any whale-fins, or whale-bones, shall from henceforth be imported into this Commonwealth or into Ireland, or any other lands, islands, plantations, or territories thereto belonging, or in their possession, but only such as shall be caught in vessels that do or shall truly and properly belong to the people of this nation, as proprietors and right owners thereof; and the said fish to be cured, and the oil aforesaid made by the people of this Commonwealth, under the penalty and loss expressed in the first branch of this present Act; the said forfeit to be recovered and employed as is there expressed.
And it is further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that no sort of cod, ling, herring or pilchard, or any other kind of salted fish whatsoever, which shall bo caught and cured by the people of this Commonwealth, shall be from and after the first of February, one thousand six hundred fifty three, exported from any place or places belonging to this Commonwealth, in any other ship or ships, vessel or vessels, save only in such as do truly and properly appertain to the people of this Commonwealth, as right owners; and whereof the master and mariners are for the most part of them English, under the penalty and loss expressed in the said first branch of this present Act; the said forfeit to be recovered and employed as is there expressed.

It doesn't save messages to disk. It probably should though. As long as it doesn't return OK to the remote end unless the message is scanned, and actually forwarded to the real email server, it will only cause a message to be resent, but I don't want the proxy to crash for the reasons I stated earlier. It will crash randomly if it doesn't get the memory, and admin will have no idea why. Another example could be 'dnscache'. It also preallocates the cache database of user-configurable size at the start-up. It never writes anywthing to the disk, and it doesn't need to, but I wouldn't want it to crash because the OS won't have the physical memory it needs on random basis. Let's stop here then. The feature I am looking for doesn't come with Unix by default, beaten horse, etc.
