In March, the Obama administration announced plans to expand offshore drilling and allow oil and natural-gas exploration off the coasts of New Jersey, Virginia and the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico at least 125 miles off the coast of Florida.
Unfortunately, the administration recently announced that it would rescind these future plans for offshore drilling expansion and move in a different direction. In a public announcement, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar noted that the eastern Gulf of Mexico that remains under a congressional moratorium and the mid-and south-Atlantic areas are no longer under consideration for potential development through the year 2017.
It's no surprise that the administration is looking toward the tragic BP oil spill as a justification to ban any new offshore drilling for the eastern Gulf and the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for the next seven years. Secretary Salazar clearly noted, "As a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, we learned a number of lessons, most importantly that we need to proceed with caution and focus on creating a more stringent regulatory regime." Salazar continued by adding, "Our revised strategy lays out a careful, responsible path for meeting our nation's energy needs while protecting our oceans and coastal communities."
A great question for Secretary Salazar and the administration is this, "Are we truly on a responsible path to meeting our nation's energy needs when we limit access to more than 99 percent of our nation's offshore oil-and-gas reserves?" Better yet, "If we shut off access to these vital resources, where are we going to get it?" Supply and demand economics are fairly simple to understand. If you limit access to create supply and the demand for oil continues to rise not only here at home but significantly in developing countries around the world, the obvious repercussion of this policy will result in higher energy prices for all Americans.
In reality, the Obama plan to expand offshore drilling was just that, a plan. Technically, the administration has nothing to rescind given that Congress gave no approval to open these areas for oil-and-gas exploration. The announcement to shut off offshore access is nothing more than smoke and mirrors and political posturing. Although the expansion of new areas in offshore production are extremely important, at the moment, the most pressing issue the administration should be working toward is alleviating the permitting gridlock caused by the recent deepwater drilling ban.
In his comments on the administration's decision, Secretary Salazar claimed, "We believe the most appropriate course of action is to focus development on areas with existing leases and not expand to new areas at this time."
If it is the intention of the administration to focus on areas already open for exploration, it is imperative that they ensure an adequate and streamlined permitting process and remove the de facto moratorium that is stifling growth in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the end, the continuation of a failed energy policy that shuts off access to our vast offshore reserves will pave the future road with higher energy prices, drastic unemployment and will perpetuate our insatiable dependency on foreign sources of energy.
Don Briggs is president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association.
Is our energy path the right one?

D'ANTONINO, L. et al. Development of coffee plants in soils with picloram residues. Planta daninha [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.1, pp.193-200. ISSN 0100-8358. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-83582012000100022.
This work aimed to evaluate the growth of coffee plants cultivated in an Oxisol with different pH values and contaminated with picloram residues. The experiment was a factorial (2 x 9), with the first factor consisting of two types of soil (Oxisol pH 4.4 and pH 6.2) and the second factor, nine doses of picloram (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 g ha-1 ), arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. At 60 and 120 days after herbicide application (DAP), a visual evaluation was carried out of intoxication of the plants, leaf area, by a non-destructive method; stem diameter by caliper and plant height, as well as counting the number of fully-expanded leaves. At 120 DAP, determination of dry mass of the leaves, stem and roots was carried out, besides root length and root volume. It was concluded that coffee plants recently transplanted into soil with residues of picloram have a growth reduction that may affect future crop productivity. Operations aiming at increasing the pH of these soils increase the risk of carryover.

machine: light from a distant galaxy may have taken billions of years to
reach us, so we are seeing it as it was far in the past. Looking back in time,
astronomers saw the universe expanding at speeds that ware lower, rather
than higher. At first they were mortified, since this was exactly the opposite
of what had been expected. The statistical quality of the data was also not
good enough to constute ironclad proof, and there were worries about
systematic errors. The case for an accelerating expansion has however been
nailed down by high-precision mapping of the dim, sky-wide afterglow of
the Big Bang, known as the cosmic microwave background. Some theorists
have proposed reviving Einstein's cosmological constant to account for the
acceleration, while others believe it is evidence for a mysterious form of
matter which exhibits gravitational repulsion. The generic term for this
unknown stuff is "dark energy." Some recent ideas on this topic can be
found in the January 2001 issue of Scientific American, which is available
online at
http://www.sciam.com/issue.cfm.issueDate=Jan-01 .
Note added February 15, 2003
The microwave background measurements referred to above have been
improved on by a space probe called WMAP, and there is no longer much
room for doubt about the repulsion. An article describing these results,
from the front page of the New York times on February 12, 2003, is
available online at
(free registration required).
Astronomers consider themselves to have entered a new era of high-
precision cosmology. The WMAP probe, for example, has measured the age
of the universe to be 13.7
+0.2 billion years, a figure that could previously
be stated only as a fuzzy range from 10 to 20 billion. We know that only
4% of the universe is atoms, with another 23% consisting of unknown
subatomic particles, and 73% of dark energy. It's more than a little ironic to
know about so many things with such high precision, and yet to know
virtually nothing about their nature. For instance, we know that precisely
96% of the universe is something other than atoms, but we know precisely
nothing about what something is.
Section 10.6*Evidence for Repulsive Gravity
The WMAP probe's map of the cosmic microwave background is like a "baby pic-
ture" of the universe.

SHSU History
of the official events in this year's celebration of the 125th
anniversary of the founding of Sam Houston Normal Institute
is the 2004 President's Golf Tournament. Thursday, April 15,
is the entry deadline.
"We have a number of serious presentations planned to
mark this historic occasion," said James F. Gaertner,
SHSU president, "such as appearances by distinguished
alum Dan Rather, historian James Haley, and a visit by Gov.
Rick Perry.
"While these activities will be entertaining and historical,
organizers decided to have a little recreational fun, and
thought a golf tournament at the wonderful new Raven Nest
golf course would be the perfect event.."
The tournament will be a "competitive" four-person
scramble. That's the way President Gaertner, who is an avid
and serious golfer, wanted the tournament to be set up.
There will be prizes for two levels of teams, but there will
be no mulligans sold.
"One of the ways we try to approach everything we do
at Sam Houston State University is to be 'first class',"
said Gaertner, "and this will be a first class golf tournament."
Crystal trophies will be awarded for closest to the pin on
one par 3, for longest drive on another hole, and for the
top three teams in two flights. The winning team will take
home a silver-plated traveling President's Cup.
Hole-in-one prizes will be offered on all par 3s. They include
a Buick Rendezvous, a Ford F-150, two tickets to the Masters
golf tournament, a set of Nike Pro Combo Irons, a Nike forged
titanium driver, and three dozen Power Distance Super Soft
Golf Balls.
The registration fee of $125 per player, or $500 per team,
includes a continental breakfast, range balls, tournament
mementos, team photo, the prizes, a post-round luncheon, beverages
and snacks on the course, and a goody bag with balls, snacks,
and several useful items of golfing paraphernalia. There will
also be attractive door prizes.
Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. with shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
The Raven Nest Golf Course is located on I-45 just north of
Huntsville Memorial Hospital.
Sponsorships are also available. The sponsorship

I'm thinking perhaps these Z/28s just may "magically" stop at 692(?) or whatever it was they built in '67...I don't think they realistically can make very many of them that are street-legal, for a variety of reasons....
Perhaps a COPO similar program for a track car would be how they continue on....(COPOs were street-legal, but that's not how they're building them now, either)....LS7s, the 5thGens themselves, aren't gonna be around for very much longer anyways...Another guess, they will only be MY 2014 (built as long as the rules allow)...no '15s....who knows...
It's been said various times and in different ways, that they considered calling the ZL1 the Z/28...It's more Z/28ish to how a lot of people would have wanted the Z/28 built for affordability, and street-ability...Stripper cars will never be big sellers, no matter what form they come in...
I think the bottom line will be, if you really, really want one, you better get one as soon as possible...I don't think the Z/28 in it's present form will be around very long....

Rumour Mill-Can Burnley Win With Kenwyne Jones?
There were lots of rumours on Twitter during the summer transfer window that linked Burnley with a move for Stoke City striker, Kenwyne Jones. Doubts were cast though when it was reported that the player was not keen on dropping divisions and was likely to wait for a late EPL bid.
In the end the summer transfer window closed with Kenwyne Jones still at the Britannia Stadium but it is now clear he does not appear to be in Stoke manager Tony Pulis's long term plans if an article in the Sun this week is to be believed.
It would appear the Staffordshire club are ready to offload six players after signing striker Michael Owen and one of the players named is Kenwyne Jones along with Michael Tonge, Diego Arismendi, Danny Higginbotham, Mama Sidibe and Wilson Palacios. Owen joined Stoke City on a 12-month pay-as-you-go deal last week after Manchester United ended his three-year association with the club in the summer.
The club now want to cut their wage bill and it would appear that they are looking to loan out the six players mentioned above.
It is no secret that Burnley are looking to loan a striker and with the loan market opening last Friday this latest rumour could suggest that Kenwyne Jones may still be on Eddie Howe's radar if the original speculation about the gaffer's interest was true.
The 27 year old, Trinidad and Tobago international signed for Stoke City on a four-year-deal from Sunderland for a club record fee of £8 million in August 2010. Jones began his professional career with Joe Public in his native Trinidad and Tobago in 2002 before soon moving to W Connection where he played for two years. His first English club was Southampton having signed for the Saints from W Connection for a nominal fee after a trial in July 2004. Loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday and future club, Stoke City followed before he signed for Sunderland in a £6 million deal in August 2007 with Stern John going in the opposite direction.

My name is, Richard Neal Huffman and I am the one who cut his NRA card up.
I did it to make a point. I think it is time there is a discussion here in America on how far the 2nd Amendment is meant to let the citizens have their way with weapons. We do not need military type weapons. For hunting we only need semi-auto rifles with ten shot clips. Shotguns may be used. Handguns may be used for personal protection but the magazines may not exceed 10 rounds and you may not carry more than four clips at once. There may be no armor piercing rounds, nor rounds manufactured that will penetrate a law enforcement officers vest. Al weapons owned and carried will first be trained with for two weeks at a state run facility, paid for by the state. All persons attempting to buy a weapon must show they are mentally capable. This to will be paid for by the state. The owner of the gun(s) must prove they have saftey locks for the weapons. Anyone carrying a weapon on their person in public or in a vehicle must be licensed and every four years go before a gun board to make sure they are still capable of carrying safely.

Sonic State Studio / Speakers / ALESIS M1 Active Mk2 Monitors
|Average rating: 6.2/10 out of 10
|page 4 of 6: 1 2 3 4 5 6
|~X~ a part-timer user from US&A writes:
The flashing blue LED and loss of sound on the Alesis M1 powered monitor is caused by failure of capacitor C8 (220uF, 35V) on the power supply board. It dries up due to its proximity to resistor R4 (47K, 2 W) which gets very hot. This is a design fault.
Remove the power supply board (4 corner screws and 2 mains connector screws) and disconnect the two plugs. Carefully desolder C8 and replace it. Its value is not critical (220 to 470 uF will do) but it should be a 105 deg. type, preferably at 50V.
Remove R4 and replace it with a similar resistor with its leads bent so that it is nowhere near C8, otherwise the fault will return. One end may be connected to one of the existing R4 solder pads (furthest from rear of board), and the other to the top end of resistor R3. Check that you have connected it correctly by inspecting the PCB tracks.
Replace the board and all screws and plugs before testing.

I called up alesis looking for parts and they quoted me $80 for each replacement amplifier if I was a merchant, $150 if I was not. I didn't care to spend $300 to fix these seeing as how I paid $500 for the pair brand new, so I went off and bought a pair of KRK's Rokit 8's which have been performing wonderfully ever since and have a very crisp flat sound. I was never really happy with the sound of the MK2's as they were very heavy on the low end. I used to have a lot of faith in Alesis but the quality of their products seems to have decreased dramatically.

The show is way more pretentious than this photo would have you believe. (via HBO)
If you haven't been watching HBO's True Detective on Sunday nights, that's a shame, because you're not only missing out on one of the best shows on TV right now, you're missing out on some great opportunities to make yourself sound really smart in front of friends and co-workers. Somehow, what looks to be an above-average police procedural is actually a bubbling cauldron of quantum physics gobbledygook, canibus-foggy philosophy and nightmarish inter-dimensional horror. And I mean that in the very best possible way. So, watch the show, and then come back here and memorize these bits of guaranteed-to-impress commentary:
1. "Obviously, you can't truly appreciate 'True Detective' if you're not familiar with Robert W. Chambers' 'The King in Yellow.'"
The King in Yellow is a collection of weird horror stories—concerning an eponymous play that drives to insanity all those who dare to watch or read its dialogue—which 99% of us never heard of before reading Michael M. Hughes' "The One Literary Reference You Must Know to Appreciate True Detective" on io9 last week. Miraculously, every blowhard with an HBO Go subscription, like myself, is suddenly an expert in the "legendary city of Carcosa" and the significance of "black stars," especially in so far as they are vaguely referenced by redneck prophet Reggie Ledoux. So, make sure you throw that card out early in any True Detective conversation, or you might have to cede the alpha pretension position.
2. "You realize, of course, that Ledoux and Cohle's 'Time is a flat circle' metaphor is all borne out by String Theory."
Let's face facts: Anytime you can use a pretentious comment about String Theory, you totally should. As soon as the discussion of the show turns to Rusty Cohle's deposition monologue about time being "a flat circle" and his beer-can explanation about the "M-brane theory"—and it will—make sure you seize the opportunity to point out how that's all just a form of String Theory involving 11 dimensions of spacetime that are theorized to loop around on themselves. You can read all about M Theory here, but you really don't need to. Nobody understands this shit, regardless of how much they read.
I still don't understand it, but I like hearing Michio Kaku explain it.
3. "I take it you realize that Rustin Cole's depressing world view is based upon the antinatalist-nihilist writings of Thomas Ligotti and E.M. Cioran."
Most of us never heard of Thomas Ligotti or E.M. Cioran until just recently. And "antinatalist nihilism" is something about which the vast majority of us only have a passing understanding. Still, that's not stopping us from throwing these references around, so it shouldn't stop you. In this Wall Street Journal interview, True Detective creator and writer Nic Pizzolatto explains how he allowed these authors' pessimistic view of life to seep from Cohle's mouth, such as when he tells Hart that "the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction" (a near-direct quote of Ligotti, by the way). "[N]obody I've read has expressed the idea of humanity as aberration more powerfully than Cioran and Ligotti," Pizzolatto explained. Sounds like fun reading!
4. "I was pleasantly surprised to see a reference to John Money's 'paraphilic lovemap' pop up in the first episode. Weren't you?"
According to sexologist John Money, a lovemap is "a developmental representation or template in the mind and in the brain depicting the idealized lover and the idealized program of sexual and erotic activity projected in imagery or actually engaged in with that lover." At least, that's what Wikipedia says he says. And I know that a paraphilia is a sexual deviancy. So, when Rustin Cohle looks at a naked antlered murder victim in Episode 1 and says that her "body is a paraphilic lovemap," I think it's safe to assume that that means something smart. Thus, it's the perfect reference to drop. Plus, you can use the phrase for practically anything sex-related. (For example, "I am curious to learn where this bottle of Astroglide is located on your paraphilic lovemap.")
You might have missed your chance to use this Valentine's Day card this year,
but time is a flat circle, so you'll get your chance. (via redditor cowbellemoo)
5. "Did you happen to notice that True Detective went meta when it broke the fourth wall on Sunday?"
There's some Internet chatter this week about the possibility that True Detective went meta and broke the fourth wall during the M Theory monologue we discussed in #2. Cohle references "4th dimensional observers." According to this theory, we, the viewing audience, are those 4th dimensional observers. I don't know about that. But what I do know is that I will be bringing this up in conversation asap.

Cleveland Travel Guide
Cleveland night skyline © Erik Drost
Founded in 1796, Cleveland became an industrial town with the opening of the Erie-Ohio Canal that linked the Ohio River to Lake Erie, and the city's vast iron and coal supplies made it one of the most important steel and shipbuilding centres in the country, a sprawling mass of oil refineries, mills and warehouses along the shores of Lake Erie.
Industrial success poured money into the city and wealthy tycoons built the downtown area that today has outgrown its 'steel town' image and is a bustling place, a city of green parklands and lively neighbourhoods with a vibrant atmosphere. Once the heavily-polluted victim of much mockery, its industrial character has moved beyond the city limits and the downtown warehouses and factories now house trendy clubs and restaurants, while museums, and sporting and cultural events attract many visitors to the city.
Located on the southern shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River, Cleveland has a growing cultural presence that has been enhanced by newly added attractions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the enormous Great Lakes Science Center and six-storey OMNIMAX Theatre, and the professional sports arenas and stadiums of the Gateway District that host major sporting events as well as live entertainment.
These are welcome additions to a city already boasting a world-class orchestra, a celebrated art museum, lively theatre district and the restored lakefront area. Neighbourhoods buzz with restaurants and shops, and the Flats, once the industrial heart of the city occupying both banks of the Cuyahoga River, is now the booming entertainment and nightlife district of Cleveland. The historic Warehouse District is downtown's oldest commercial quarter and is a national Historic Landmark with over 70 fine examples of Victorian architecture. Once housing merchants' and manufacturers' goods, the old warehouses are now home to music clubs, galleries and trendy dining spots.
Some miles out of the city centre are two theme parks with some of the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster rides at the Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, and the Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Aurora.

Transatlantic regulatory cooperation: Securing the promise of nanotechnologies
|(Nanowerk News) Nanotechnology will impact our lives on a global scale. Over the past year experts from the London School of Economics, Environmental Law Institute, Chatham House and the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars have been examining issues of transatlantic regulatory cooperation.
|Their research findings are to be published in a major report, which will be launched at an international conference on 10-11 September 2009 in London: "Transatlantic Regulatory Cooperation: Securing the Promise of Nanotechnologies".
|The conference brings together regulatory experts from the US and EU. Its purpose is to discuss recommendations from this research effort but also to generate and examine new ideas that would enable greater transatlantic cooperation and convergence on nanotechnology oversight today and in the future.
|Participation in the conference is by invitation only. Please send an email to Ms. Carmen Gayoso at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to attend.

Today ain't been our day. We experienced two occurrences of downtime today for seemingly unrelated reasons.
The first occurred this morning when the electricity went out for about 45 minutes around 8:30 CDT. Some dog musta pissed on a pole again somewhere close-by. My son lives across town and they never have power outages - rarely even in severe storm conditions. On this side of town, the historic (read: old) section, our lights go out at least weekly. Sometimes it's just a blink, but other times for various amounts of time. It's so frustrating. I used to joke that at first rain drop or a 2 mph gust of wind our lights would go out again - but today was a lovely summer morning under blue skies with pretty puffy clouds floating about. It was hot tho. So, now I guess even hot weather takes down our grid. I hate our cheapass electric company - who btw, keeps raising rates at percentages that rival the cable company and yet won't spend the money to upgrade our equipment.
The second occurrence was this evening while I was out to dinner. I came home to a crashed computer. The only clue looks like a memory dump on screen, nothing in the logs. I suspect hardware moreso than a kernel problem. I have a nicer machine donated by a kind tuxmachines visitor that I may try to get online. I've toyed with the idea several times, but I just seem to be preoccupied with trying to make a living and keeping the site updated, that I just haven't had time to seriously devote to changing the machine out. These crashes happen about once every coupla months. It's not too often and I tend to forget about them until it happens again. If it gets bad, of course, it'll become a priority. Anyway, we were down for about 2 hours before I learned of it and then I spent a half hour cleaning up, checking the database tables, and such before I brought the site back online.
There was another occurrance of downtime last week that was the result of a ddos (well not exactly, but amounts to) attack outta China. He had us down about 45 minutes before I noticed it. Sorry about that. We aren't usually messed with too much here at tuxmachines anymore since I quit running a mail server.
Anyway, I apologize to those who might have looked for us during the downtimes today. I can't do anything about the power outages until we can afford off-site dedicated hosting, but if the server crashes continue, I will put the new machine in place.
Thanks to all the tuxmachines visitors. We love you all.

Rafa Benitez steps into the Chelsea hot-seat – but how long will he last?
RAFA BENITEZ stepped into the hottest seat in world football when he agreed to become Chelsea's caretaker manager. But just how long will he last?
Benitez agreed a six-month deal with owner Roman Abramovich, after Roberto Di Matteo was sacked at 4am yesterday.
But he might not even last that long because the Russian still wants former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.
His first battle will be to win over hostile fans because the former Liverpool manager might be booed in his first match, at home against Manchester City on Sunday, over comments he made about the Blues while in charge at Anfield.
Benitez, appointed as Abramovich's ninth boss in as many years, will be given money - and his first move could be going back to Liverpool with a £25million offer for Martin Skrtel.
Didier Drogba could also return to Chelsea next month on loan - if he gets clearance from FIFA to move from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.
Lifting Chelsea's first Champions League trophy, in Munich, was the highlight of my career to date
The striker, who left over the summer, could join for a month before going to the African Nations Cup.
Chelsea will also try to sign Atletico Madrid forward Radamel Falcao or Bayer Leverkusen winger Andre Schurrle.
This deal allows them to bring in Guardiola within months - if they can persuade him .
He refused to join straight away - and will not even commit for the summer .
Benitez, out of work since being sacked by Inter in 2010, arrives today from Dubai, where he had been giving a lecture.
Benitez, 52, turned down a similar deal when offered a chance to come in before Di Matteo started in March, following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas.
He was in talks with Abramovich even before Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League defeat at Juventus, which proved to be Di Matteo's last game.
Di Matteo said: "It was an honour for me to be manager of a club that is so close to my heart.
"Lifting Chelsea's first Champions League trophy, in Munich, was the highlight of my career to date. It is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life.
"I would like to sincerely thank all of the staff, my players and the fans for their tremendous support in the intense time I have been the manager."

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello, my name is***** am a qualified lawyer and it is my pleasure to assist you with your question today.
When they responded to your letter, did they advise you of their cancellation policy?
OK thank you, ***** ***** it with me. I am in court today so will prepare my advice during the day and get back to you at the earliest opportunity. There is no need to wait here as you will receive an email when I have responded. Thank you.
No problem at all.
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I experienced some temporary connection issues and could not get back on the site until now. All appears to be resolved now so I can continue dealing with your query.
It is common for consumers to be asked to enter into a minimum (usually 12-month) contract to use the services of a gym or fitness club. Many people have tried to cancel their membership before the expiration of this term, only to be asked to pay for the remainder of their membership and threatened with debt collectors if they fail to do so.
The starting point in such situations is that the club will usually be allowed to impose this minimum membership term on its members and also demand payment for the remainder of the term in the event of early cancellation. Whilst there are certain arguments by consumers that such terms are unfair and unenforceable, as long as they have been plainly and clearly stated in the contract, rather than hidden in the small print, they would be enforceable.
There are, however, certain reasons that the consumer can use to try and cancel the contract early, without having to pay for the remainder.
One example is a breach of contract by the club. If you were specifically promised certain facilities that have not materialised and you based your decision to join on these, you could claim that the club has breached their part of the contract and as such you could treat the contract as being void.
Another example is if the club was in some ways considered to be unhygienic or unsafe. However, for that to apply it has to be more than a trivial issue.
Unless any of the above points apply, you are unfortunately likely to be bound to the terms of the membership and failure to pay could result in the club taking further action to try and recover any fees due, even if you did not attend.
This is your basic legal position. I have more detailed advice for you in terms of the steps you can follow to at least try and pressure them into returning your fees, which I wish to discuss so please take a second to leave a positive rating for the service so far (by selecting 3, 4 or 5 stars) and I can continue with that and answer any further questions you may have. Don't worry, there is no extra cost and leaving a rating will not close the question and we can continue this discussion. Thank you
Hello, I see you have read my response to your query. Please let me know if this has answered your original question and if you need me to discuss the next steps in more detail? In the meantime please take a second to leave a positive rating by selecting 3, 4 or 5 starts from the top of the page. The question will not close and I can continue with my advice as discussed. Thank you
Hello, do you need any further assistance or are you happy with the above response? Look forward to hearing from you.

I'm A Cyborg
£18.99, Tartan
While the viewing public could easily stand to see another of Chan-Wook Park's vengeance-themed movies (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, etc), the director felt he needed a break. He'd certainly earned one. Park had spent the best part of five years toiling away at innovative, long-term revenge plans - not the healthiest mindset to be in. Fortunately, his idea of something lighter, a romantic comedy no less, is just as intense, imaginative and often as dark, despite the bright colours and humour. Set in that well-known romedy location, the mental hospital, Park's tale revolves around a young woman (A Tale Of Two Sisters' Su-jeong Lim) who believes she is a killer robot, following a misinterpreted suicide attempt at a radio factory. She's so convinced of her mechanical origins, she'd rather lick batteries for sustenance than consume food.
Her unlikely saviour and love interest arrives with a patient who believes he's a master thief, capable of stealing such things as politeness and Thursdays. The film's masterstroke is that it doesn't attempt to cure her delusions, but adapts to fit in with them. The Terry Gilliam-meets-David Cronenberg sensibilities might be a bit too much to take in at just one sitting. Many scenes have five or six different things going on at once. Original ideas are a scarce commodity in movies, so one that mixes robotics, romance, comedy and yodelling while still managing to be moving, certainly deserves your attention.
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead/The Savages
£19.99 each, EV/Fox
Typical: you wait ages for a Philip Seymour Hoffman film and two arrive at once. Hoffman doesn't have the box-office lure of a Tom Cruise but he does have a reputation for delivering note-prefect performances. He also has absolutely no shame, which helps here. First off is Sidney Lumet's Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, where Hoffman and brother Ethan Hawke embark on the most ill-thought-out crime in movie history. It's going to go wrong and it really does, and Lumet's fractured narrative captures the dire consequences. By comparison, The Savages is much more fun. Hoffman is teamed up with Laura Linney as brother and sister who are forced back together to look after their father, who's wracked by dementia. They're an excellent pairing, prizefighters in the acting world sparring against each other. We must grudgingly thank Mission: Impossible III for allowing Hoffman to be able to afford to make this pair of indie classics.

HPCL advanced further on Monday on buying support from institutions following reports that a inter-ministerial group is likely to meet on Thursday to shortlist the names of bidders for the state-run oil refiner.
By 13:10 IST, the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation scrip was up by 2.11% at Rs 307.65 on the BSE. Over 3.34 lakh shares changed hands on the counter. In the last four sessions, the scrip rose by 5.9% from Rs 290.55 on 1 April 2003.
Dealers said there was good buying support for the stock from institutions including foreign institutional investors, on hopes of rapid progress on the privatisation front as well as huge dividend pay-out for FY 2002-03. Analysts also said that the rise in the scrip was due to similar considerations.
Meanwhile, there were reports of aggressive bidding for acquiring a strategic equity stake in HPCL. A host of foreign companies like the US-based ChevronTexaco, Malaysia's Petronas, Ango-Dutch oil major Shell, British Oil major BP and Saudi Aramco are reported to have put in initial bids. Domestic oil and gas and petrochemicals major, Reliance Industries, is also reported to have put in a bid and so has Ruia group oil firm Essar Oil.
These bidders see HPCL's strong retailing network as quite attractive. HPCL has about 4,600 retail outlets and a 20% market share in retailing petroleum products. The government announced its plans to privatise HPCL through a strategic sale for which it has already appointed HSBC as global advisor.
In January 2003, the government gave the green signal for divestment in HPCL. As per its plans, HPCL's equity (34.01%) will be sold to a strategic partner and 5% to the company's employees. The government will retain 12% holding in the company. Currently, its stake in HPCL is at 51.01%.
Earlier, the Supreme Court gave a virtual clearance to the Centre to proceed with the privatisation of HPCL, saying the pendency of a petition challenging the same should not deter the government from divesting its equity stake in the company.
A Bench comprising Justice M B Shah and Justice Arun Kumar adjourned the hearing on a writ petition filed by Federation of All India Petroleum Traders.
For the third quarter ended 31 December 2002, HPCL registered a gigantic 444% rise in net profit to Rs 330.62 crore (Rs 3.3 billion) on a 28% jump in net sales to Rs 14,210.23 crore (Rs 142.1 billion). The company has recommended an interim dividend of 20% (i.e. Rs 2 per share) for the financial year 2002-03.

Cermak: Schenectady honored Reagan back in '54
Published 8:57 pm, Monday, August 19, 2013
An interesting letter from a reader points out Ronald Reagan was named a Schenectady Patroon nearly 60 years ago, long before he became president.
Joan Kehoe Plankis attached a copy of a 1954 communication from Mayor Archibald Wemple informing Reagan that he had just received the award, the city's highest honor.
Wemple, in his handwritten notification, said Reagan was being recognized because he had become "Mr. GE." Back then, Reagan, the movie star, was often in Schenectady making TV commercials for GE.
"Reagan will carry the Dutch tradition wherever he goes and live up to his new position as Patroon,'' Wemple wrote. Reagan replied that in spite of his Irish and English heritage, his nickname was "Dutch."
"I am happy now to have that title officially dignified," Reagan wrote by hand. "I'm humbled and honored by your generous acceptance of me as part of your community. I hope you shall never have to regret it."
Mrs. Plankis, a lifelong Rotterdam resident, is the owner of Murdock Abstract Corp. She discovered the communications in the county archives while doing title searches.
When I called her to discuss her letter, I learned her father is the late Marty Kehoe. Some veteran political buffs may recall Kehoe as an always helpful Schenectady County elections commissioner.
District's Hall of Fame dinner set for Sept. 9
Coming as no surprise, the usual crowd of more than 300 has booked reservations for the Schenectady schools' Athletic Hall of Fame 16th annual dinner Sept. 9 at Proctors.
Bob Pezzano, the tireless volunteer running the Hall of Fame since its inception, says some guests are coming in from as far as California, Texas, Florida and Minnesota
Most notable of this year's inductees is the late Lee Wallard, winner of the internationally famous Indianapolis 500 way back in 1951. Guest speaker will be Tom Chestnut, who was a Linton High and Princeton basketball player.
Chestnut was president and chief operating officer of the Cleveland Cavaliers from 1990-95 and later served as CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers.
If you're interested in attending, call Pezzano at 346-9297.
Another bell-ringing season
If you live in Schenectady or another urban center, after the letter carrier has hit your doorstep chances are the next person to arrive could be a politician.
I'm alerted that the door-to-door campaigning for the September primary and November general election is under way in Schenectady. If candidates haven't been spotted yet in other areas, fear not: They'll be showing up sooner rather than later.
In general, suburban residents don't get a deluge of candidates because reaching spread-out voters is much more time consuming.
In Schenectady last week, City Councilman Carl Erikson, seeking re-election, was ringing doorbells in the Woodlawn neighborhood. Traveling with him was Jean Carney, a member of the Democrat campaign entourage.
Carney sought a Democrat Council endorsement last spring, but the party decided to support John Mootooveren. Hey, hold on. She may wind up a councilmember anyway.
Veteran Democrat Councilwoman Denise Brucker, in the midst of moving to Niskayuna, has said she could resign as early as November. My political gut, coupled with some input from key Democrats, indicates Carney will be appointed to fill the vacancy.
By the way, Jean Carney is the sister of Bob Carney. He's the longtime Schenectady County district attorney, who Republicans have pretty much given up trying to oppose at election time.

Diesel tanker rolls over after blowout
Published 5:21 pm, Saturday, October 20, 2012
A tanker carrying 7,000 gallons of diesel fuel rolled over Saturday afternoon after a blowout.
Gerado Villa was traveling south on Loop 250 at around 1 p.m. When he turned left to head east on Interstate 20, a right-side tire blew out, shifting the weight of the tanker and causing it to roll onto its side, said Midland Police Department Sgt. David Garcia, investigating officer.
Haz-Mat units and another tanker from the company, Blue Streak Transportation, arrived on the scene to clean up any leakage and to transfer the fuel to the other tanker.
Villa, who was wearing his seat belt, suffered minor injuries and was not transported for medical treatment, Garcia said.
The driver was traveling with a pit bull; the dog was not injured.
There currently aren't citations pending in connection with the accident, Garcia said.

What I'm Loving Now: BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold
I love glowing skin. And, If I have to fake it, no problem. Of course, I pride myself with pretty great skin, but there are days when my skin looks as blah as I feel. That's when ahhhmazing products like BECCA's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold come to my rescue. I am so in love with this bottle of shimmery goodness, that as much as I want to use it, I want to preserve it too.
Here are the details about BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold (golden rosey pink) $41:
What it is:
A sheer cream-liquid that perfects skin with light-reflecting pearls for a soft, natural glow.
What it does:
Achieve a subtle luminosity. This formula features ultrafine light-reflecting pearls that melt into your skin for polished, natural-looking radiance. Water-light and sheer, it has a prismatic effect that allows it to adjust in any light, so your refined glow is never lost.
What else you need to know:
This product has been dermatologically tested.
Suggested Usage:
-This product may be used on the face and body.
-To highlight the face, dab a small amount over foundation using your fingertips or brush to cheekbones, brow bones, temples, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow.
-When highlighting the body, apply to dècolletage, shoulders, and legs.
-Spotlighting: after applying makeup, dab a small amount, onto cheek and brow bones.
Why I'm loving it:
So there is glowing skin and there is PERFECTLY glowing skin. After I cleanse and moisturize my skin, it's glowing. But all the minor imperfections are there — large pores, hyperpigmentation. That's why I love BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold — it beautifully hides those imperfections without making my skin look like it's cloaked in makeup. Not to sound cliché, but my skin looks like it's "lit from within."
I have used BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold in a couple different ways:
1. As a "primer" of sorts before applying my foundation, then just adding foundation coverage where I really need it.
2. Mixed with my foundation — gives my foundation a subtle glowing sheen that I can't get enough of.
3. As a spot highlighter over foundation– on my cheekbones and eyelids. It just picks up the light and looks gorgeous.
4. Alone — I just add blush and a bit of eye makeup for a simple makeup look that's lovely.
I have medium/light brown skin and I find that the Rose Gold Perfector gives me a bit of color in addition to the glow factor. I have also used this color on darker brown skin and it looks just as fabulous.
This is one product that I will not be without, and since it comes in more colors, I'm looking forward to adding more to my arsenal of makeup must-haves.
In the photo below, the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector is mixed with my foundation and I am using BECCA Topaz pressed perfector on my cheeks. That review is forthcoming!

While the recession may have altered the shopping habits of consumers nationwide, the number of people who were willing to deal with credit card debt increased in the final three months of 2010, according to a report from The Associated Press. As a result, MasterCard saw profits surge by 41 percent over the same period in 2009.
The company found the number of transactions processed for both its branded debit and credit cards rose 6.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010, to 6.2 billion, the report said. In all, the total value of those purchases was about $567 billion, which marked an increase of 11 percent from the prior year.
Branded credit card use in the U.S. jumped 3 percent overall, and debit card transactions rose 4 percent, the report said. In all, net income for its payment processing network rose to $415 million in the quarter, up from the $294 million observed in the same three-month period last year.
Many consumers may still be wary of dealing with credit card debt, as many faced thousands of dollars in outstanding balances during the recession.

Keller out for season; Dolphins turn to young TEs
Miami Dolphins tight end Dustin Keller will miss the 2013 season with a right knee injury suffered against the Houston Texans on Saturday night, according to multiple reports.
Keller grabbed his right knee after a tackle by D.J. Swearinger on an incomplete pass. He suffered a torn ACL, MCL, PCL and dislocated the kneecap. FoxSports.com reported that the injury could be career-threatening.
Swearinger, a Texans rookie safety, contends that the tackle in the lower-body region was at least partly attributable to the league's rules that penalize hits to the head area.
"I was making a hit playing football," Swearinger said, according to the Palm Beach Post. "In this league, you've got to go low or you get a fine.
"The rules say you can't hit high, so I went low and I'm sorry that happened. I would think you'd rather have more concussions than leg injuries. Leg injury, you can't come back from that. A concussion, you be back in a couple in a couple of weeks."
Signed as a free agent over the offseason after five seasons with the New York Jets, Keller was expected to have a significant role in the passing game with the Dolphins also adding speedy outside threat Mike Wallace. The goal was to have Keller and wide receiver Brian Hartline work the underneath routes with Wallace stretching the field.
The Dolphins will now turn to a trio of young tight ends - Charles Clay, Michael Egnew and Dion Sims - in an attempt to fill the void. With roster cuts looming, the Dolphins could also seek to add a veteran to the mix.
Clay has displayed versatility as a blocker and receiver, Egnew was a significant disappointment as a rookie last season and Sims is a big, athletic rookie out of Michigan State.
"Dustin brought a lot to the table for us," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said after Saturday's game. "He's a great player and it's a tough situation. But at the end of the day we have to have somebody step up and play in his shoes. We have a good tight end room with Egnew, Clay, Dion, and those guys are going to have to step up and fill the void. I think we have the guys in the room to (succeed)."
Clay has been listed as a fullback/tight end on the roster, while Egnew and Sims are big, speedy targets who still need to refine their route-running.
"We have other guys that have caught the ball down the middle," head coach Joe Philbin said Saturday. "We've got some big targets. Egnew is a big man. Dion Sims is a big man. Clay has caught the ball down the middle before. We'll adjust."
Egnew was was inactive for all but two games last season despite being a third-round pick. However, he has displayed improvement this year and has five catches through two preseason games.
Sims is a fourth-round pick who has impressed throughout the offseason program and training camp.
"Definitely, I'm ready to go," he said. "I've been ready to go since I first stepped foot there at the facility."
While all three have displayed the ability to catch passes over the middle, they're also relatively inexperienced players - each had a penalty called against him Saturday.
"Early in the game we had three penalties out of the three tight ends, which wasn't good," Philbin said. "But I thought they settled in and played better as the game went on. I like the guys we have. Again, we have to see what happens. It's very early in this whole process. We'll take a look at what we have, what our options might be."

Estate agent Morris Armitage has opened a new branch in Bury St Edmunds.
Having bought a successful rental business in the town, the firm is looking to build on the premises' already established reputation.
The branch will continue to focus on rentals, but with a brand new sales team, managed by Mark Wixley.
Mark said: "I've lived in and around Bury St Edmunds for 30 years and have been in the industry for seven and with a great team supporting me, this branch will be able to offer a high level of knowledge and experience. I'm really looking forward to the task ahead."
This is the seventh office to be opened by Morris Armitage in under 12 years.
The Bury branch will join the agency's growing network of offices across Suffolk , Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
Co-owner Simon Morris said: "Both James and I are extremely excited about the opening of the new branch in Bury. "Since opening our doors in 2002, we have gone from strength to strength and enjoyed enormous success.
"This is just another step forward in our growth plans for the business."

Burdet, E and Franklin, DW and Osu, R and Tee, KP and Kawato, M and Milner, TE (2004) How are internal models of unstable tasks formed? In: UNSPECIFIED pp. 4491-4494..Full text not available from this repository.
The results of recent studies suggest that humans can form internal models that they use in a feedforward manner to compensate for both stable and unstable dynamics. To examine how internal models are formed, we performed adaptation experiments in novel dynamics, and measured the endpoint force, trajectory and EMG during learning. Analysis of reflex feedback and change of feedforward commands between consecutive trials suggested a unified model of motor learning, which can coherently unify the learning processes observed in stable and unstable dynamics and reproduce available data on motor learning. To our knowledge, this algorithm, based on the concurrent minimization of (reflex) feedback and muscle activation, is also the first nonlinear adaptive controller able to stabilize unstable dynamics.

A few months ago we had a post about Ithaca being named one of Outside Magazine's best outdoor towns. We decided to give it a look close-up.
First impression – pretty darn good.
We walked down Ithaca Commons, the pedestrian street in downtown Ithaca. On one side of the street was an outdoor store chock full of North Face gear and mountain bikes. Across the street was the Finger Lakes Running and Triathlon Company.
OK, Ithaca is all that with a bag of organically-raised, fair-trade chips in a compost-able bag.
After loading up on an egg and guacamole bagel, we headed out of town to visit Robert Treman State Park. We had camped here a few years back while riding the Bon Ton Roulet. After a 90-mile bike ride featuring an impressive thunderstorm, during my first visit I had only been interested in seeing a large plate of food and the inside of my sleeping bag.
The return was a bit better. The park was nearly empty and everything was covered in a powdered sugar layer of snow. The entrance board gave us the bad news that the gorge trail was closed due to unsafe conditions. We merrily headed up the 2-mile long Rim Trail and got an impressive view of the lower falls on Enfield Creek. The trail undulates a bit, but with no real steep parts, it's mostly a nice walk along the creek with some waterfalls thrown in.
The trail and lookouts to Lucifer Falls were closed with an iron gate with a sternly worded sign affixed. We could see some of the lower falls but not in all its glory and I wondered how much trouble I'd really get in for climbing past the gate.
I was told it wasn't the ranger I'd need to worry about.
Instead we went out to a bridge going over the creek. The other end of the bridge also had an iron gate attached which kept us from the gorge trail and the bright sunlight on the other side. We ate lunch on the bridge and decided to hike back and drive to the trailhead at the upper end of the falls.
I followed the Rim Trail down from the other direction. There had only been a small bit of the trail that was actually closed and I got a great look at Lucifer Falls. Part of the rock was encased in ice, giving it an other-worldly look. A raven was perched on cliffs on the other side which added to the effect. It's an impressive spot, maybe more so in winter when there's nearly no one there.
We headed back to Ithaca and tried to eat everything the Moosewood Resturant had to offer. Ithaca is gorging!

Again, like Sexton, a nailed-on certainty to start against Australia. Phillips is a Lions veteran and this wealth of experience will be invaluable in Brisbane. He has already scored two tries on tour and, although his passing may not be as snappy as that of Ben Youngs, his size means he is a constant handful.

[List 1 A,B] William & Sarah
Captain: William Hill
From: Rotterdam
By Way of: Dover
Arrival: Philadelphia, 18 Sep 1727
A list of 109 Palatines, along with their families making about 400 persons. No convicts on board. Each adult passenger 16 years old or above was counted as one freight. Children 4-15 were counted as half-freights and were charged half the price of an adult for passage. Children under 4 were transported for free. The number listed next to each man's name was apparently the number of freights he was responsible for. If he came alone it was usually only one. If there were 3 freights, it might represent a husband, wife, and two children age 4-15; a husband wife, and child 16 or older; or some other such combination. These numbers can therefore give a general idea of the size of the family that was transported on the ship. If someone in the family died at sea, they were not counted in the number of freights for that family. The abbreviation Con. or Conn. appeared after several of the names on this list was probably indicated they were planning to settle in the Conestoga settlement (listed in the remarks column). Likewise Germt. and Skibach probably refer to the settlements of Germantown and Skippack (also listed in remarks column). Those listed at the end of the list may have prepaid for their passage and were not listed on the first list where the number of freights was recorded.

His Reception by the President of
That Republic a Notable Event.
The New York Herald of Mon?
day contains a letter from Port Au
Prince, Haiti, giving an account of
the reception of Mr. Henry M.
Smythe, of Tazewell county, in
this State, fche Minister to that
"The most notable event of this
week," the correspondendent writes,
"was the grand reception, with
special audience, in the national
palace by President Hippolite of
the New American Minister Resi?
dent and Consul General, Henry M.
Smythe, who presented his letters
accrediting him to the Haitian gov?
"At the same reception his pre?
decessor, S. Durham, presented his
letters of recall. Mr Smythe is a
distinguished looking person, and
he made a most pleasant impres?
sion on all.
President Hippolyte's replies to
the old and new ministers' remarks
were very cordial, and as he sped
the parting guest with graceful
words he welcomed the coming
with sympathetic and well-timed
Mr. Smythe then stepped to the
front and expressed himself in
theso terms:
4 in placing in your hands my
credentials calling me to reside at
) our government in the capacity of
i diplomatic and consular represen?
tative of the United States, I re?
member that the expression con?
tained in those credentials, in view
>f the constant use made of them
imong the powers of the earth may
become banate and conventional,
but in order that they may retain
the real meaning which is attached
to them,I am to give you the assur?
ance that to my knowledge the peo?
ple of the United States are ani?
mated by the kindest and most
fraternal sentinents toward the
government and people of Haiti.
Do you not, then, see in these ex
[irxvsions only a frank avowal of
regard that the executive power
makes of a free people to the first
?hie? of another people equally
'ree, having both that community
if interests resulting from the
proximity of their respective posi?
ons, of the similarity of their sen?
tients, of the homogeneity of
their populations, aud of their com?
mon aspirations toward all that
ends the well-being of the pub?
"As national prosperity results
:he intelligent employment of ma?
terial goods and of the exchange
if that which is produced by one
people and which can be necessary
to another, I have the pleasure to
jfi?,! you the assurance that the on
v special task which has been con
ided to me(it is useful evedently to
>ay that my duty is always to de?
pend the dignity of my govern?
ment and to keep always in mind
,he rights of American citizens)
consists in taking every step tend
n g to develop the commercial re
atious existing between the two
"And permit me to say, Mr. Pres
dent, in passing, that I am happy

[Prom oar Regular Correspondent,]
Washington, D. C. Dec. ll,?
President Cleveland was no more
listurbed by the seeming discourte?
sy of the Senate in adopting a res?
olution, asking for copies of all
State, department documents reta?
in:; to Hawaii, than he was by the
lenseless clamor which followed
ihe publication of Secretary Gres
__>: lt _
ham's recomendation on the sub?
ject some weeks ago. Before the
resolution wTas introduced he had
given orders that all of the docu?
ments be copied with the purpose
of sending them to Congress with
the special message on the subject
which he stated in his annual mes?
sage would shortly be sent in. The
message and accompanying docu?
ments are all ready and they will go
to the Senate this week, and some
of those documents will not make
pleasant reading for republicans,
either in or out of Congress. They
will show a long series of plotting
that is entirely opposite to what
has always been the recognized for?
eign policy of the United States.
Your correspondent had a little
chat with Chairman Wilson con?
cerning the tariff bill. He said
that the bill would be reported to
the House this week, probably on
Wednesday and that he had been
agreeably surprised at tbe demo?
cratic opposition to the bill. The
question of submitting the bill toa
democratic caucus is still an open
one. Personally Mr. Wilson is in?
different, being perfectly satisfied
to leave it to his democratic col?
leagues to decide whether to hold a
caucus on the bill or not. He
thinks that the permanent benefit
which the bill will carry to millions
of our people will far outweigh the
hardships that it will temporarily
impose on thousands, and that in
the end it will be generally regard?
ed as one of the best tariff laws
ever placed upon our statute
books. He looks for minor chan?
ges in the bill, both in the house
and the Senate,but for any changes
in its underlying principles?the
wellfare of the masses rather than
of the favored few.
The internal revenue bill has not
been entirely completed, but it
probably will be this week. It has
been definetly decided to double
the tax on cigaretts; to tax playing
cards, and to tax inheritances.
The income tax is still undecided,
but the probabilty is that the tax
on net incomes of corporations
which was first agreed upon by the
committee, will remain in the bill,
the understanding being that those
members of the committee who fa?
vor a personal income tax instead
will be at liberty to offer that as a
substitute for the corporation in?
come tax and leave it to a majority
of the House to decide which, if ei?
ther of them, shall remain in the
bill. Representative Bryan, of Ne?
braska, who is recognized as the
leader of the democrats on the
Ways and Means committee who
favor the personal income tax, has
not abandoned hope of winning in
the committee. He said on the
subject: "The fact that the cor?
poration tax would bear heavily on
many people with very limited
means, while the individual tax
would be collected from the weal?
thy who escape taxation in many
forms, is having its influence. If
the tax is levied on individual in?
comes the rich will then pay their
proper proportion which they do
not at present and would not under
the corporation tax." A compro?
mise has been suggested by which
both corporation and individual in?
comes will be taxed.
The first result of the work of
the joint congressional committee
which has for mouths been investi?
gating the methods of the execu?
tive departments of the government
will be seen when the legislative,
executive and judicial appropria?
tion bill is reported to the House.
That bill will make some radical
changes in several of the depart?
ments, all in the interests of econ?
omy and a more prompt tradition
of public business. Among these
changes will be the abolishment of
the postal note and of several bu?
reaus of the Post Office department,
the work of which is not consider?
ed necessary. This is only the be?
ginning of the work of the com?
mittee, wh*ch has three expert ac?
countants aiding it in locating all
unnecessary handling of public ac?
counts and duplications of work.
Its inteution is to put the govern?
ment business upon the same basis
as that of the railroad or other big
private concerns before it gets
through, but it is already finding
it a hard task as the employees of
the useless bureaus appear to have
more Congressional friends than
any other class of government em-,
Democrats in the House are de-'
termined that the bill admitting,
Utah to statehood shall be passed,'
and if the republicans persist in j
filibustering to prevent a vote upon !
it, as they di4 last week, it will be I
made a party questiod and forced i
to a vote under a order from the
committee on Rules.
The Senate will this week begin
the consideration of the
election of the repeal bill.
Senator Hill will lead the demo?
cratic forces.
Sara Jones a Free Lauce.
Rev, Sam P. Jones is no longer a
regular preacher ol' the Methodist
Church. He has been filling an
appointment from the North
Georgia Conference, the duty which
fell on some substitute, while Jones
was traveling over the country.
The conference now in session in
Gainesville is presided over by Bish?
op Haygood. He decided that there
was no law under which a preach?
er could resort to evangelical work
as a specialty, and that as Air.
Jones wanted an appointment he
would have to fill it. The result
was that Mr. Jones decided to sev?
er his connections with the confer?
ence and resume his pbice in some
church as an exhorter,
Resolutions of confidence in his
Christian integrity were passed.

Ruined by Liquor.
There was a pathetic scene in the
Municipal Court, of Portland, Me.,
when Judge Gould sentenced the
Reverend B. F. Prichard, at one
time the most eloquent preacher in
the State, to jail as a common
drunkard. He mado an eloquent
plea, and entreated the judge to
show mercy, vowing that he never
again would touch liquor. The
Court, however, said he felt that
under the circumstances he could
not let him go. If lie felt assured
that Mr. Pritchard would never
again touch liquor, he would be on?
ly too glad to discharge him.

Underground electric cars for
the transmission of mails between
New York and Philadelphia may
soon be in operation. H. A. Lew?
is, a telegrapher, hus invented a
car for that purpose, the plan is to
put a tube, say ten inches in diam?
eter, un^er ground, and in thi3 to
lay tracks for the little cars. These
cars are not run with an overhead
wire, but by means of a third rail,
which supplies the electric current.
By means ol' switches and elect j ic
buttons it ia possible to stop the
cars at any point desired. John T.
Dyer is backing the invention fi?
nancially, and he will try to form
a company to construct a road be?
tween Philadelphia and New York.
The speed of the can will be ea?

Mikey has never filmed a jerk-off video before, but a buddy of his made one for Squirtz, a hot jack-off site, and so Mickey decided it might be fun to try. But he was careful to point out during his interview that he's really into girls.
During his interview he talks about chatting up a girl in a bar and they headed outside to smoke a cigarette outside and chill out. Sounds like things got pretty heated because they headed inside and Mikey fucked this girl in a private bathroom inside the club.
And this horny Frenchman works in construction and he keeps fit playing a lot of sports. You'll love hearing his deep voice and he's Quebecois, so he's speaking in French, which makes him all the more sexy.
And this guy sure can shoot a big load. After pumping his meat furiously he starts breathing hard and then WHAM! a huge stream of cum splashes across his thigh. What a thick cumshot!
