Quote from: posde on March 28, 2009, 10:36:34 amDoes this help[urlhttp://www.mozilla.org/access/features][/url]Hi,thanks for help. I found this one could be usefulhttp://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Accessibility_Themes.phpBut mainly the problem is that 7.10 version of Firefox is a bit outdated. Has anyone tried or know if Firefox can be safely upgraded ?Thanks in advance,regards,Bulek.
It's simpler to make a new wrapper, either by directly instantiating XPCOM stuff in a two-tiered thread configuration, or by doing a quick implementation to run in XULRunner. The Point is:* There is too much UI in Firefox for a TV based web browser, not that anyone notices...but...* There needs to be DCE communication with the rest of the system so that Orbiter can present buttons for UI, and present necessary feedback.-Thom
That sounds great Andrew! I too have problems with ABC's iview http://www.abc.net.au/iview/ (National broadcaster, equivalent to BBC) they have an extremely slick Flash interface but ff/flash9 doesn't like the video bit and crashes out... I know ABC have content restrictions for overseas IP addresses, so I'm not sure at what point that link will crap out on a UK IP address, be interesting to know how far it lets you get

How much work is to run firefox 3.0 and upward versions on LinuxMCE 7.10 instead of alpha version ?I'm also curious if one can widen slider on right side? Themes enlarge icons but no change on sliders...
It would be cool if an alternative browser to firefox allowed you to easily browse and view video from sites like BBC iPlayer and YouTube (supporting fullscreen) using your remote control.

The Cleveland Browns placed wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi on injured reserve on Monday.
Massaquoi played in nine games with five starts this season for the Browns. He compiled just 17 catches for 254 yards as he battled a hamstring injury for a most of the season.
With Brandon Weeden's status still in question for Sunday's season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Browns promoted quarterback Thaddeus Lewis from the practice squad. If Weeden is unable to play, Colt McCoy would earn the start with Lewis likely to be active as the backup.
Lewis has spent time with the Browns and St. Louis Rams in three seasons after going undrafted in 2010. Lewis has not appeared in a regular season game.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Cybersecurity solutions for U.S. unmanned aerial vehicles and other networked-enabled military vehicles are to be developed by Rockwell Collins.
The work was commissioned for the Unmanned V portion of the High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems program by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The prime contract is for 4 1/2 half years. The monetary value of the award wasn't disclosed.
DARPA's High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems program aims to develop technology for the construction of high-assurance cyber-physical systems. It will require a fundamentally different approach from that used by software developers to enable "semi-automated code synthesis from executable, formal specifications," Rockwell Collins said.
"Making sure software is designed correctly from the beginning is paramount to guarantee the security of military computing platforms," said John Borghese, vice president of the Rockwell Collins Advanced Technology Center.
Rockwell Collins is the team leader for the project. Joining it are Boeing, Galois, National ICT Australia and the University of Minnesota.

Thanksgiving has come six weeks early for Robin Roberts, after her to treat her rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome.
In a message posted Thursday on the ABC News blog, the Good Morning America anchor, 51, whose leave of absence from the show started Sept. 1, delivers a positive update on her medical progress, and expresses her heartfelt thanks for all the support she continues to receive.
Here, in full, is her message:
Today is what I like to call "Thankful Thursday, aka Friday Eve." I have been in the hospital 25 days now. My bone marrow transplant took place exactly two weeks ago. The only numbers that matter are my blood counts and they are … GREAT! My sister Sally-Ann's stem cells apparently feel right at home in my body – an answer to so many prayers.
My doctors and rock star nurses are very pleased with my progress and I could not be more thankful for the excellent care I am receiving. I have had some extremely painful days and it's still difficult for me to eat because of all the chemo. But something I read in Streams in the Desert stays with me: "I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser for all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow, and ne'er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her when sorrow walked with me."
I continue to learn so much on this journey, especially when it comes to true friendship and love. My friends near and far – like Sam [Champion, GMA meteorologist] and Josh [Elliott, news anchor] who came to visit yesterday – have been lifting my spirits. My childhood pastor (who delivered Momma's eulogy) is coming from down South to see me tomorrow. I am hopeful that I MAY be well enough to continue my recovery at home next week and my sister's plan to come back to NYC for that milestone in my journey. I truly FEEL and thank you for your love, prayers and good wishes. And I return it to you tenfold. Light Love Power Presence. XO

[B]Immigration Dreaming in California -- Assembly Bill 263 Will Bring Nightmares to the State's Employers[/B]
[URL="http://www.nationofimmigrators.com/California%20palms.jpg"][IMG2=right]http://www.nationofimmigrators.com/assets_c/2013/12/California%20palms-thumb-350x449-25429.jpg[/IMG2][/URL][INDENT]"California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom." ― Don DeLillo, [I]White Noise [/I]
"Political corruption, social greed, and Americanized quasi-socialism can ruin even the most wonderful places. California proved that." ― Tiffany Madison
As a transplant from Michigan who has thrived in California since settling here in 1982, I've come to expect sneering and cynicism heaped upon this lovely, blessed state. The foregoing [URL="http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/california"]quotes[/URL] are of the [I]genre[/I], California sniping, expressed most frequently as Jack Frost approaches elsewhere, biting the rest of the country into its perennial frenzy of Golden-State envy. We Californians are used to that kind of seasonally-induced, sour-grapes hurling.
But sometimes our state legislature and our governor, the monk formerly known as Moonbeam, take actions that all but invite ridicule.
Recent examples are plentiful, as my colleagues at Seyfarth Shaw, Dana Peterson and Coby Turner, noted in their Nov. 26 posting in the aptly titled, [URL="http://www.calpeculiarities.com/"][I]California Peculiarities Employment Law[/I] blog[/URL] ("[URL="http://www.calpeculiarities.com/2013/11/26/california-employees-have-even-more-protections-to-be-thankful-for-this-year/"]California Employees Have Even More Protections to be Thankful for This Year[/URL]").
Today's post will focus on just one section of one of two new laws critiqued in the Peterson-Turner post. Section 4 of Assembly Bill 263, effective January 1, 2014, adds this new provision (Section 1024.6) to the state's Labor Code:
[INDENT]1024.6. An employer may not discharge an employee or in any manner discriminate, retaliate, or take any adverse action against an employee because the employee updates or attempts to update his or her personal information, unless the changes are directly related to the skill set, qualifications, or knowledge required for the job.
The new section sounds innocuous. Of course no employer should be allowed to assail an employee who merely updates or tries to update "his or her personal information." The transgression seems apiece with that cardinal California sin of violating one's "personal space." The devil, however, is in the subtext.
Consider these common scenarios:
#1: An employer, aware that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is increasingly auditing and penalizing employers for violations of the immigration-paperwork requirement to maintain proof of every new hire's identity and employment eligibility on Form I-9, decides to conduct a voluntary audit of its I-9 records. The employer discovers mistakes or finds copies of identity documents and work permits that, on second look, appear to be less than genuine. It wants to take corrective steps to mitigate any fines ICE might impose.
#2: An employer receives a Social Security Administration letter (a no-match notice) announcing that the employer's payroll tax contributions tied to particular employees' social security numbers (SSNs) contain information that conflicts with the SSA's own records associated with the earmarked SSNs. Or, an employer receives word from its health insurance carrier or pension administrator that the SSNs of certain employees do not square with SSA data. This employer likewise wants to fix the problem and minimize potential fines before ICE shows up.
[INDENT]Assume that in scenarios #1 and #2, the employer first checks its own records and finds no reason such as a clerical error or typo to explain and resolve the discrepancy. The employer then approaches the affected employees, explains that a discrepancy has been noted, and asks the employee to provide an acceptable explanation with documentation that resolves the discrepancy and demonstrates that the individuals in question have the right to work in the United States. Failing the tender of acceptable evidence, the employee will be required to sign a new Form I-9 to verify identity and employment eligibility.
Rather than provide the requested documentation, each of the employees instead informs the employer that s/he has adopted a new name, a new date of birth, a new marital status, or other newly embraced "personal information" and then presents seemingly genuine and relevant original documents of identity and work authorization to confirm the change.
Today, before Assembly Bill 263 takes effect, an employer is allowed to terminate the individual's employment if the submission of inconsistent personal information violated company policies requiring that employees be truthful in all of their dealings with the employer. AB 263 takes away that power to sanction employee dishonesty. Moreover, since the law also prohibits employers "in any manner" from discriminating, retaliating or taking any "adverse action against an employee" who has updated his or her personal information, AB 263 may even prohibit an employer from investigating whether the newly provided personal information is accurate or likewise false or flawed.
Suppose the employee(s) in fact lacked the right to work in the U.S. and had merely purchased a new set of papers from the local fraudulent-document purveyor. Under federal immigration statutes and regulations, an employer may not hire or continue to employee an individual whom the employer "knows" lacks the right to work in the United States. Knowledge of a person's unauthorized employment status can be actual or constructive, as provided in 8 CFR § 274a.1(l):[INDENT]
The term knowing includes not only actual knowledge but also knowledge which may fairly be inferred through notice of certain facts and circumstances which would lead a person, through the exercise of reasonable care, to know about a certain condition.
In other words, an employer who is aware of certain unexplained facts (such as an "update" of "personal information"), but turns a blind eye to circumstances that seem suspicious or at least worthy of further inquiry, will be treated as knowing the facts that a reasonable investigation would have revealed. Thus, if the workers were indeed unauthorized but the employer did not investigate the circumstances out of fear of violating the no-adverse-action prohibition of AB 263, ICE would likely fine the employer on two separate grounds. The fines would be not just for a deficient I-9 but also for the more serious "knowing-continuing-to-employ" offense.
What should the employer do? Depending on the facts at hand, the better approach would likely be to follow federal immigration law which probably preempts and trumps AB 263. See, [URL="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-182b5e1.pdf"]Arizona v. United States[/URL], the Supreme Court case which tossed out almost all of Arizona's SB 1070 on federal-preemption grounds. Employers presented with personal-information updates should be prepared to defend against state charges under AB 263 by maintaining that merely conducting a reasonable investigation of the facts to determine if an employee is authorized to work in the U.S. is not a form of discrimination, retaliation or adverse action under the new California law. But since California is indeed peculiar, employers should also be prepared to fight the good fight if organized labor, state authorities or the courts disagree. At least the weather is nice.

The Abbott government's plan to reintroduce regular fuel tax increases looks likely to stall after the Greens withdrew support for the measure.
Greens leader Christine Milne previously indicated the party was open to restoring the half-yearly fuel excise rises, on the proviso the money would go towards public transport.
The move would have added about 60 cents to the cost of a tank of petrol from August 1.
The Greens party room examined the draft legislation on Tuesday and decided not to support the proposal as it stands.
The party is upset that the government has said revenue raised by the increase would be put solely towards building more roads, which would increase congestion and pollution.
Senator Milne said the Abbott government is refusing to budge.
"It's up to the prime minister: he has said he's talking to people, but he's not," she told reporters.
There was no public transport package or fuel efficiency standards attached to the measure.
The Greens did not want $45 billion plunged into roads by 2030.
"Why would we want to put more money in the Abbott government's pockets to roll out more freeways?" she said.
Price signals should be used for transforming peoples' behaviour, not as a pure money grabbing exercise, she said.
Senator Milne reportedly had been pushing for a further condition for Greens support - ensuring that miners and loggers were not rebated the excise increase.
She denied she had been rolled by her colleagues in the party room and would not confirm whether the decision was unanimous.
Deputy Greens leader Adam Bandt and Senator Peter Whish-Wilson were reportedly concerned about adding to cost-of-living pressures.
Labor also opposes the tax hike because it is a broken election promise and the Palmer United Party has indicated it will vote to block the rise.

Now There's a Fourth
Peter Heinegg's perceptive review of Edmund Wilson: A Life in Literature (1/2) reminded me of an incident almost a half-century ago. I grew up a few miles from Talcottville, the upstate New York village where Wilson spent part of each year. As a Princeton undergraduate, I had learned about Wilson and wrote a review of his memoir, A Piece of My Mind: Reflections at Sixty for the local daily in Watertown. In the course of the review I referred to his prolific and catholic mind (lowercase c'), but the editor at the paper changed this to Catholic mind (capital C')a major distortion, to say the least.
When the review appeared, I was off in Army basic training at Fort Dix, N.J. My mother wrote to say that Edmund Wilson called and wants to have dinner with you. I followed up on the invitation instantly on my first furlough home. The two of us Princetonians had a long, convivialvery convivialevening solving the world's problems: the c problems, not the C ones.
It was for me an extraordinary encounter that ended with Wilson's jocular pontification: You know, Duffy, there are only three people from upstate New York who've ever amounted to anythingyou, me and John Foster Dulles, and I have grave doubts about him. It was nice of Peter Heinegg to bring back this memory.

Never Failed
So Joseph Bukovchik (Letters, 10/31) and Gene Gagnon (Letters, 12/5) are unhappy that America seems to be drifting toward conservatism. How dreadful.
As a reader/subscriber since 1942 (that's right!), I have seldom agreed with your editorial policies, but I assume your writers arrive at them after much study and prayer. It would be nice, as a disagreeing conservative, to be granted the same courtesy without being called a radical.
The issue is not being for or against peace, life, poverty, conservation, violence, etc. The dichotomy is in how to deal with these issues, and it is possible to have the balanced discussions these gentlemen long for when we concede that each side is acting in good conscience.
Despite our divergent opinions, I have always looked to America for the accuracy and completeness of its reporting on church documents and decisions, and it has never failed me.

More Obvious Balance
Interesting that Gene Gagnon (Letters, 12/05) is disturbed that America appears to be moving in a more conservative direction, asserting that the change is due to fear of backlash from conservative bishops. And here I am a well-aged, decades-long America subscriber, rather relieved to see that the magazine is finally developing and publishing a more obvious balance in its weekly offerings, which it has needed for some time. Surely the dictates of the Gospel allow for a broad range of opinions, wrought from the vigor of calm reasoning and the balm of mutual charity. And how is it that the climate of the day among the informed dictates that one's every positionreligious, cultural, economic, politicalmust toe the liberal line? What a shame that intelligent, well-educated and faithfully practicing Catholics must feel assigned to back seats from the drone of the liberal left, when there is every reason to strive for balance in assessing the problems confronting the church and society, since solutions to most of these distress-ors are more likely to be found on the middle ground. Thankfully, it appears this fact has finally dawned on the good folks at America.

Change of Tone
I'd like to express a difference of opinion with the letters to the editor that protest a change of tone in the magazine since the resignation of the last editor. I am continuing our subscription for exactly that reason and waited until your last issue to do so.
I too detect a difference but take that to reflect the vision of the new editor and his choice of writers. I like it. Until recently I thought America was becoming strident, and the constant harping on the clergy scandal and the failure of the bishops to be everything to everyone was getting tiresome. I could always read other publications or the secular press to get those views.
So if it is a change of tone or just a change of top personnel, I like it and hope you continue to do a good job for all of us.

Same Situation
I read with interest David L. Martinson's article, The Media, the War and Truth' (1/2), about the challenge to journalists to report truthfully about our government, the war in Iraq and the events in our country.
It struck me as ironic that the same situation exists in our church. Catholic journalists are not free to report truthfully about the problems in our church. This is all the more scandalous in a church that preaches it has the truth for all of humankind. Let's pray our problems will be addressed truthfully and healed in this new year.
I have always looked to America to report the truth in its articles. I felt it was the one place where there was no spin.
On a better note, I was happy to see the article on historicity in the Bible by Richard J. Clifford, S.J., (1/2). We need more of these on Bible study and background.

Below the Surface
David L. Martinson crafted an excellent article on truth and truthfulness (1/2). He brought to light a reality that has simmered just below the surface for quite a while, but especially since the 2002 sexual abuse crisis in the church. Too bad he applied the focus of his article to the U.S. media and the Bush administration.
He would do well to analyze the past and current communications coming from the Catholic hierarchy as to whether they provide a truthful and complete narrative...in a way that was intelligible to the public and free of ideological jargon intended more to persuade than enlighten. There would be no lack of hierarchical specimens for applying the distinction between communicating the truth' and truthful' communication.
The once mighty voice of the hierarchy is now a whine and a whimper, and constantly suspect. Let's apply Bonhoeffer's there is a way of speaking which is in this respect entirely correct and unexceptionable, but which is, nevertheless, a lie to statements coming out of the archdioceses of Boston and Philadelphia and many other dioceses. Lawyers advising bishops would do well to express the real as it exists in God.
One is known by what comes out of one's mouth. I would hate to approach the pearly gates and have to stand on the truthfulness of these diocesan communications.

Longtime Reader
This is the first time I write to you, though I have read America for over 50 years. Your editorial A Child Is Born (12/19) was incredibly beautiful. In the same issue the article The Historical Mary, by Robert P. Maloney, C.M., was wonderful. I am keeping the issue because it is so beautiful and I want to reread those pieces.

In the Air
The recent Of Many Things column by Jim McDermott, S.J., (1/2) was superb! As one who visits New York City often and tends to juggle too many balls in the air with career and family, etc., I needed to hear Father McDermott's wise counsel to live in the world one day at a time.

Write More Often
A snow day here in Connecticut allowed me to catch up with the last three months of America. The Nov. 28, 2005, issue was the best. Teaching About the Jesus of Islam, by David Pinault, was perfectly timed and an excellent teaching tool; the article by John A. Coleman, S.J., on religious liberty was too. It reminded me of the complexities surrounding the passage of that sea-changing Vatican document.
Besides these articles, I was moved by the vignette by Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J., (fittingly, not at all a eulogy) on Monica Hellwig. I had no idea of Hellwig's Dutch, Jewish, Medical Missionary background. What an impressive woman; what an impressive career. And the brief piece by Ladislas Orsy, S.J., was wonderful for its quiet reminder of the basics. Finally, the book reviews were right on target: José M. Sánchez's critique of a flawed work on the Holocaust, and Gene Roman's fine analysis of values evangelists and legal secularists, in Divided by God. Really, this was a solid issue!
Dolores Liptak, R.S.M.

But I see the problem differently from the Breen brothers. Perhaps the shortage of priests is the work of the Holy Spirit, forcing changes that are necessary for the future but resisted by a celibate male culture still imbued with absolute power. They ask America magazine to lead discussion of related subjects foreclosed by Rome even to bishops under threat of removal from office, when in fact magazine editors face the same penalty.
Can these discussions include making celibacy optional for diocesan priests, asking why a married Catholic priest should first have to be an Episcopalian priest? What about discussion of women priests or—horrors—married women priests? Where are we headed, if not toward the revelation that nothing in Scripture forbids such? And tradition that blocks the spread of the word of God in sacrament and ministry needs to evolve, as the Spirit moves where it wills. (Still breathing?)
The longstanding clerical mindset that combines all administrative, legal and executive powers in one person, the bishop, unaccountable to the people of God, must pass into history as have other feudal structures. Broadening our understanding of priesthood, both in and outside of orders, allows the talents of all to find expression. It also helps foreclose the culture that brought us the sexual abuse scandal, abetted as it is by an inbred sense of exemption and privilege.
So the discussions will be held, whether in chanceries or not, as change makes its inexorable mark from below. Those little gray cells, as James J. DiGiacomo, S.J., called them (Am., 5/30/05), refuse to stagnate and in prayerful contemplation move forward with optimism and hope for a renewed, truly accountable church.
If the editorial position of America were the focus of such approaches, these missives would be understandable; instead, they are part of the broad scene we see today where folks basically want to hear what fits in with their preconceived views.
If America is to retain a position as a lively forum for ideas in the church, where the ongoing process of discernment (with the tensions of disagreement that implies) continues, then a broad approach is both correct and necessary.
Continuing dialogue in charity is what will keep us together as a church, even if it makes us uncomfortable.

Snow plows that rely on a winch to lower & raise the blade often have issues with straps breaking, dropping the blade too quickly, or needing replacement after just a few seasons.

The SnowBear WinterWolf snow plows are designed with a steel blade that features a reversible steel scraper, ensuring a long lasting life. The SnowBear WinterWolf snow plow features a reinforced blade, adding extra strength and durability. This ingeniously designed snow plow offers a snow deflector that reduces the chances of your windshield getting sprayed, potentially increasing visibility. SnowBear provides both an in-cab toggle switch & a wireless remote control to control the vertical movement of the blade. The actuator provides smooth, steady rate raising or lowering your plow blade. The screw type action and internal clutch ensure long-lasting durability & performance. The 5 angling positions of this snow plow are manually set, giving you the option to move snow head on as well as to both sides.
Assembling your new plow will be pretty simple. No fancy tools required and all the hardware is included. SnowBear also includes custom mounting brackets that give you a 2 point mounting system to evenly distribute impact load.

|Installed this plow on a new 2017 Tacoma. It takes some careful thinking at times during the assembly to determine how to work around assembly problems. Not for the casual tinkerer with a small tool box. SnowBear's customer service group was exceptionally great in helping me complete the assembly.

|Thank you...........
Part #: SNB-324-167 Posted on
|Plowed through 30 inches of biggest storm in 20 years. Worked like a charm!
|it is a combersome task to assembel this plow...you need air tools(wrenches and torque drills)...there are a high amount of bolts and nuts and washers...they are placed in very difficult places and tough to access...it takes at least 2 people to assembel and some nuts and bolts are not the correct size and must be purchased seperatly as in the mount and the bracket assemblies..about 15 dollars worth extra...once assembled plow raises and lowers and you need to tighten and the release springs as to not keep tipping the plow over...NEED SNOW for THAT and more time to get the proper pitch...It is a big plow be safe and secure in your applications...read the manual which is full of miscues and the video is of no help...you need at least and hour to get the nuts and bolts in the proper sequence in order to expedite and make sure they go into the right position and hole...(looks overhelming but be patient it will work its way out)...after all is said and done hopefully it will snow in N.Y. to see it work...(the electical hook up is easy use the fuse it is important)
|the mount was easy to install but 4 of the eight bolts were the wrong size..(YOU NEED A TORQUE WRENCH AND A ALOT OF HELP) the job is for 2 people to mount it
|Kit had all of the hardware needed, great instructions and easy install.
|Great product, easy to install works like a champ. Worth every penny.

7 Amazing Things Michael Kirby Said About HIV at the AIDS 2014 Opening Ceremony
July 21, 2014
The official start of the 20th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2014) featured a series of eloquent, heartfelt, moving speeches by a diverse range of people, from outspoken advocate and UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé (who held up a protest sign as he began his speech) to the humbled and overwhelmed Yohana Haule, a 21-year-old Tanzanian man who won the competition to design the conference logo.
But easily one of the most powerful moments of the evening was the speech given by Michael Kirby, a former High Court of Australia justice and a widely respected global human rights advocate. The full text of his speech is available online, and is worth reading in its entirety. But here is a selection of some of his most poignant statements.

There are many would-be pet parents out there who just don't have the time, space, or ability to commit to owning a pet. For these people, learning how to foster a cat could be the answer to their wishes—and it will certainly answer a cat's prayers!
Rescue groups, shelters, and adoption programs often have more animals in need of care than they have volunteers and space to care for them. This means crowded situations and stressed kitties, which can lead to sick kitties and even more stress for the animals and the volunteers.
Most shelters and rescue groups will jump at the chance to have you as a foster parent. You'll agree to take a cat into your home, either for a set period of time or until the cat is adopted. You'll provide the care and love the cat needs, and you may even be able to help find a forever home.
Yes! Owning a cat can amount to around a two decade-long commitment in some cases. If you're not sure where you'll be living, who you'll be living with, and if a cat will fit into your life for that entire time, fostering cats is a great way to help animals in need and fulfill your desire to love and care for cats.
What's more, shelters who ask for foster volunteers should cover all medical expenses and some will even cover food and litter, or provide you with a stipend. How many other ways are there to take so much money out of the equation of pet parenting? You can donate your time and your love to care for a cat who otherwise wouldn't get the care they need, and you won't have to break the bank.
You should be sure that everyone you live with is on board with fostering a cat. You can always specify to a rescue group or shelter that you already have certain pets or that you have small children. They'll work with you to set you up for success and give you a cat that will thrive in your home for the time needed.
Find a rescue group or shelter in your area and ask about their procedures. Some will require an application and maybe even a training session of an hour or two. Don't be put off—these groups are usually run by volunteers who just want to be sure that every new foster pet parent they send cats home with is a good fit for their organization and has all the right information.
In fact, the more paperwork and information a group gives you, the more you can expect they'll be there to take your calls and answer your questions as you embark on your fostering adventure.

Do you really think he ought to be in Category:American Saints? He's not been officially canonized by anyone and is still quite recent. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 13:36, 13 Jun 2005 (EDT)
"[H]e is (prematurely) celebrated by some Orthodox Christians as a saint" -- I think he can be considered to be in the category of "American Saints" whether or not he is officially recognized as a saint. As you say, he is recent, so the status of his canonization may change. I hardly think adding him to the orthodoxwiki category will effect his canonization. Apologies if I am mistaken. --magda 14:36, 13 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- Yes, quite likely not! :) I was just wondering. I can't remember where the initial bit about his being celebrated comes from, though, especially it being "in liturgy." I wonder who has the daring to celebrate someone liturgically whom their hierarchy has not yet openly glorified? —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 14:45, 13 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- Of course, all saints must be prematurely celebrated as such for the canonization to occur in the first place. Of course, full liturgical glorfiication should only come with episcopal blessing. Fr. John
Homosexuality issue
I'd like to weigh in on the article mentioning that Father Serafim was a homosexual in his youth before converting to Orthodoxy. First of all I'd like to question the sources. There is no mention of this in his biography from Platina. This is not what you think about when you remember Father Serafim! To my mind this is like revealing someone's confession! He overcame so much and is such a wonderful example for us! We who have great reverence for him are pretty upset! No one but God and one's father confessor has a right to information like that..and splashed all over the internet no less!
- There is always a balance we have to strike between reporting significant historical facts and the good and useful traditions of hagiography (and of course the line is somewhat blurred since Fr. Seraphim is not canonized). I don't think that the homosexuality passage is something which is required for this article. Its origins are from whatever source the Wikipedia article used (as this is an import). My guess is that it's this article: http://www.pomona.edu/Magazine/PCMSP01/saint.shtml
- It's possible that the article draws on sections from the book of his letters published by his niece (who interestingly enough recently showed up on Wikipedia and added edits to the article there).
- I would have no problem removing the passage. It may be more difficult to get the folks over at Wikipedia to do so, though. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 23:29, 29 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- I can see why it would scandalize and turn off some, but I know, at least in the circles I inhabit, that this kind of testimony to the possibility for conversion is sorely needed. I really don't think it takes anything away from Fr. Seraphim's greatness, but only adds to it (or rather the manifestation of God's greatness in him). Fr. John
- Father, I agree. I read this article the other day, having not heard anything much about him, and was inspired by his victory over this sin. I felt that it added to his testimony to God's grace. The Bible certainly is not shy about letting us know the dark side of many of the Saints. That being said, I understand the initial concern. I don't believe confession should be taken lightly and gossip is never a good thing. The fact of the matter is that now it is public knowledge and I guess should be addressed in some way. --Joe Rodgers 00:16, 30 Jun 2005 (EDT)
This could and should have been dealt with in a single line, similar to the beginning of one of the accounts of the life of St. Vladimir the Enlightener: Concerning his life before his baptism, it is best that we retain a discreet silence. Enough said.
- Hi Fr. Greogry,
- I would like to hear more about why you think this is the case. It has always seemed to me that we need to be honest about our saints -- their background and struggles. If we too easily place them on a pedestal, we remove their greatest triumph from them (because we fail to see the full glory of their triumph). Besides that, if this news is all over the internet, what good will it do us to hide it? Those from outside could accuse us of whitewashing. Like St. Paul, shouldn't we boast in our weaknesses that God may be glorified?
- I don't think it is a scandal that Fr. Seraphim may have had a homosexual relationship befoe he became Orthodox. The article makes it clear that he left this lifestyle behind. There was repentance, acceptable to God, and no hypocrisy on his part.
- I wonder if there's a generational difference here, too. It seems that previously homosexuality was something unspeakable. Now, it's being talked about all the time -- flashed over T.V., voted on in polls. Many say there's no real possibility of conversion for homosexuals, and homosexuality becomes for so many the defining aspect of their identity. Fr. Seraphim proves them wrong. What do you think? Thanks, Fr. John
I've de-emphasized the homosexuality material by means of cutting text and adjusting the headers. What do y'all think? —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 15:49, 1 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- I think that's good, esp. cutting out the header. Maybe we should've left in whatever citations were there though, no? Fr. John
The quotes didn't really seem to add much to the article, but I'll add in a citation link after the section in question. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 17:54, 1 Jul 2005 (EDT)
- Regarding the different biographies of Fr. Seraphim, and especially his niece's discussion of him homosexuality, see http://www.chattablogs.com/aionioszoe/archives/025629.html. Fr. John
uncompromised teachings of the Church?
The article states that Frs. Herman and Seraphim transmitted their view of the uncompromised teachings of the Church on a number of different issues. There are many serious Orthodox writers who disagree with much of what these Fathers wrote on these topics. To maintain the wiki's NPOV standards, I would suggest that this statement be reworded without this assertion.
Kadj 06:25, May 13, 2006 (CDT)
- Perhaps you have a way that this could be re-stated to maintain NPOV-MCB? --— by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 07:59, May 13, 2006 (CDT)
Why the world needs to know the truth on Fr. Seraphim
When I heard that Fr. Seraphim Rose *may* have been a homosexual, I was shocked, but at the same time very much intrigued. For many of us Orthodox Christians, we have come to view Fr. Seraphim as a modern example of the holiness as seen from the desert fathers. Granted there are many who argue and disagree with his theology, I being one of them, but theology aside I think we can all say that he was indeed a holy man, filled with God's grace. I think it is a bad thing that his real life is covered up. I beleive he was a homosexual, and if he really was, then I think that it should be written about. Why? Because as the Orthodox Church grows in numbers, it will ultimately have to face the critical eyes of the modern secular world. One of the most pressing issues facing religion is homosexuality. The Orthodox Church believes that homosexuality is a passion which can be overcome by Christ. We, the Orthodox Church, will need to use concrete examples of holy men (and women) whose homosexual tendencies were curbed by ascetic practice within the Church if we want to A) convince the world that the True Church is the Orthodox Church and B) To help those homosexuals already in the Church (and yes there are many) to be encouraged, inspired, and strengthed by the lives of those like Fr. Seraphim Rose; that homosexuality can be overcome through prayer, fasting, and the sacraments . The Orthodox Church for centuries has used the lives of Her saints to proclaim the Truth of Christ's action in the world, and now in the 21st century we find ourselves in the same position but with just different issues. I hope that one day if Fr. Seraphim is canonized that thourgh his intercession and story of his life many homosexuals will find comfort, hope, and inspiration in their struggle.

While at first glance everything seems wrong with this cyclist, I can't help but love him. I spotted him riding in New York's Central Park this spring and my heart went out to him.
Unstrapped (1982) helmet, yellow "backpack," high white socks, vintage PDA on the hip. Awesome. If you ever wanted to ride with an anti-style, this is how to do it.

Solomon's Temple and the Shabbat
June 7, 2013
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Shabbat message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, June 7, 2013.
Solomon's Temple and the Shabbat
In the old days, when Solomon's Temple stood in Jerusalem, the Temple itself was the focus of Shabbat observances. Daily sacrifices of animals and vegetables and even bread were offered by the Priests – a total of 3 per day – but on the Shabbat, there was an extra sacrifice. The sight of the priests ascending the altar to perform the sacrifices must have been a sight to see. In addition, the Priests and Levites performed psalms on the steps of the Temple – the psalms were actually liturgical songs sung and danced with the accompaniment of musical instruments, even on the Sabbath. The pageantry, the ritual, and the excitement of the Temple service, is almost impossible to imagine. All that is over now, ever since the Temple was ultimately destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE. There is no longer a class of Priests who offer sacrifices, no grand altar, no bread offering, no more the division of the Temple into Outer Court, Inner Court, and Holy of Holies, no grand vestments of the High Priest: Robe, breast plate, crown, no choirs of singing and dancing Levites. But is it really over?
After the destruction of the Temple, those specific rituals discontinued, and the mantle of spiritual leadership passed from the priest, who no longer could function, to the Rabbis . . . a new type of leader who stood for study and prayer. The rabbis were obsessed with preserving Jewish life even without the Holy Temple, and they did, in fact, transform Jewish life. They took the public rituals of the Temple and gave them new life by transforming them into home and synagogue rituals. The three sacrifices became the 3 daily prayer services familiar to traditional Jews. The extra sacrifice on Shabbat became the musaf service in the synagogue on Saturday morning. The altar became the Sabbath meal table at home. The sacrifices became the challah loaf served on the newly conceived dinner table altar. The three part division of the Temple became the congregation, the bimah and the ark of the synagogue. The vestments of the High Priest became the mantle, breastplate and crown that adorn the Torah Scroll. And what about the grand psalms? They became the psalms recited in the synagogue Shabbat services and the Zmirot (songs) sung at the Shabbat Table – especially after the meal. The rabbis after the destruction had a knack of transforming the rituals of the destroyed Temple into the rituals of home and synagogue that have lasted 2000 years.

Coaches Corner…with Coach Ali
My Prescription To You
One night last year while I was coaching, a member of my class told me that she wishes she could bottle up my positive energy and sell it. That comment kind of stuck with me. Others have asked me "Ali, how is it that you are always smiling?". First off, I believe that positive energy feeds off of positive energy, and great things can come out of it. Being happy, silly and dancing around for no reason is catchy, right? Smiling. I smile because I am happy. I am happy because I love my job and I love everyone who I am surround by on a daily basis. Smiling is so easy and it goes a long way. One smile can brighten someone's whole day. How cool is that? You know what I love? When you walk by a complete stranger and they smile at you for no reason at all. Pretty cool. While a lot of people think im crazy for leaving a nursing career behind to go work at a "gym", it was the best decision I have ever made. I feel so lucky to have a job that doesn't even feel like work. To never wake up and dread going to work. To never be at work and count the hours left on the clock until its time to go. Sometimes I forget that I even get paid to do what I do. If I won the lottery tomorrow and didn't have to work, I would still be working at CFNE. Life is way too short to be spending time doing what you don't love doing, or missing out on great things in life because work is miserable and too consuming. Helping people better themselves is one of the best feelings in the world. Making people happy is addicting. One of my favorite things to do is if you are thinking something nice in your head about someone then make sure to tell them! How good does it feel when someone pays you a compliment? CrossFit has dramatically changed my life, and my perspective on life and I want that for everyone else. How fun is it to work on yourself as a person? To be a better person, to do the right thing, to treat people right and to surround yourself with great people. There is something that I want to share with you guys that I read to myself every day. Something I try to live by. So here is my "prescription" to you…
Promise Yourself…
To be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time towards improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
-Christian D. Larson

I am trying to monitor video from an Axis 241Q video server in an html browser. The 241Q is connected to an IP camera that has PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) control. The 241Q video server connects to a network via Ethernet and has an in-built web server that allows monitoring of cameras connected to it as well as PTZ control for cameras that have this functionality.
I am able to use the inbuilt web server of the 241Q to monitor and control the cameras attached to it without any problems. When I enter the IP address of the 241Q, the standard web interface of the unit is displayed. A screenshot of this interface is attached.
However, I am working on an application where it would be better to have a user interface that is much simpler than the standard one. The standard web interface to the unit provides some example html code that can be copied and pasted into a web page in order to add video from a camera to that page. I copied this and then attempted to add a couple of buttons to it for zoom control. Pan and tilt buttons are not required because these functions can be achieved by clicking on the actual video image itself. The html code for the zoom controls was copied from the html source of the standard web interface for the unit, which was obtained by right-clicking in a blank space on the standard web interface and selecting "View source". The html file that I have created is attached, along with a screenshot showing how it appears in an html browser.
Everything is fine except that when I click on one of the zoom buttons in my html file, a new html browser window opens. This does not happen when the zoom controls in the standard web interface provided by the 241Q are used.
What can I do so that the zoom buttons in my interface to the 241Q will execute the zoom functions without opening a separate browser window?
Any help would be appreciated.
Please see this example: http://foscam.us/forum/free-generic-browser-interface-for-foscam-ip-mjpeg-cameras-t2522.html

FOX Business: The Power to Prosper
U.S. stock-index futures drifted to the upside Thursday on the heels of a rout that knocked the major market averages back to early August levels. A round of stronger-than-expected economic data and headlines from Europe were in focus.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 8:40 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 34 points to 12898, S&P 500 futures gained 3.3 points to 1392 and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 7.3 points to 2618.
The S&P 500, considered one of the best barometers of U.S. equities, tumbled 2.4% on Wednesday in its worst day on a percent basis since June. The broad-market index is down less than 2% for the month, but is still up nearly 11% for the year.
The focus on Washington, D.C. that has consumed trading desks in the past couple sessions eased somewhat Thursday, with data and European news coming back into the spotlight.
On the economic docket, a report from the Commerce Department unexpectedly showed the U.S. trade deficit hitting its narrowest level since December 2010 in September. The deficit fell to $41.6 billion for the month from $43.8 billion in August. Economists expected a reading of $45 billion. While the gauge that measures the difference between exports and imports is a lagging indicator, it does figure directly into broader measures of economic output.
Another report from the Labor Department showed new claims for unemployment benefits falling to 355,000 last week from 363,000 the week prior. Claims were expected to rise to 370,000. A Labor Department analyst says superstorm Sandy depressed claims in at least one state and resulted in an increase in claims in others, according to a report by Reuters. The stubbornly-slow recovery for the labor market has been a major focus among economists in recent months.
On the European front, Greece's parliament approved a fresh round of austerity measures by a margin of 153 to 147. The move is important because it likely clears the way for the country to receive more rescue aid from the European Union and International Monetary Fund, which will allow it to stave off a debt default.
The Bank of England held its benchmark interest rate at 0.5% and the size of its quantitative easing program at 375 billion pounds, as expected.

Good experence!
I have lived in Dublin for almost 5 years now and have been "iffy" about going to J&R as i have heard bad things in the past. I have always gone to Doms, Big5 or Bass Pro. After three HORRABLE trips to BassPro, i have decided not to go back and support a company that supports us gun owners they way we support them. I found myself at J&R.
I have now purchased quite a few firearms from them all at VERY, and i mean VERY good prices. I walked out last time with three diffrent firearms for $230. Ya. Seriously. A vintage 1924 12 gauge, a Kar98 with a synthetic stock and an AR15 lower.
There consignment rack is off the hook! For me the best part is when i joined there facebook. They post the consignments and ammo they get when they get them. If you give them a call they will hold it for you. Great if you work out of town (as i work in Santa Cruz and get screwed by the ammo zombies)
All in all. I give they 9/10. If they had a bigger ammo stock i would give them 10/10. Customer service is on par with all other family owned shops.

It's a politician's bromide—and it also happens to be a profound truth. No war, no national crisis, has left a greater impress on the American psyche than the successive waves of new arrivals that quite literally built the country. Now that arguments against immigration are rising again, it is well to remember that every single one of them has been heard before.
February/March 1994Volume45Issue1
The uproar over Zoë Baird has subsided by now, and readers with short memories may profit by a reminder that she was forced to withdraw as President Clinton's first nominee tor Attorney General because she and her husband had hired two "illegal aliens" for babysitting and housekeeping chores. The episode put immigration into focus as a "live" topic for op-ed and talk-show manifestoes before it faded, only to return to the headlines when Clinton embraced the Bush administration's policy (which he had denounced during the campaign) of turning back boatloads of Haitian refugees before they reached the Florida shore. But in June of 1993 the front pages carried the tragic story of a freighter, ironically named the Golden Venture, that ran aground just outside New York City. Its hold contained a crowd of Chinese workers being unlawfully smuggled into the United States, a crude practice supposedly long obsolete. Ten of them drowned trying to swim ashore. Later in the summer several hundred more "illegal" Chinese, California-bound, were intercepted and imprisoned aboard their ships until the U.S. government persuaded Mexico to take them in and ship them back. So it is that immigration regularly returns to the news. It always has. It always does.
The question of what our policy toward the world's huddled masses should be is especially topical at this moment. The Statue of Liberty still lifts her lamp beside the golden door, but in a time of economic downturn, there is no longer an assured consensus that the door should be kept open very far. Restrictionism is back in fashion. For every journalistic article like that of Business Week in July 1992, which notes that "the U.S. is reaping a bonanza of highly educated foreigners" and that low end immigrants "provide a hardworking labor force to fill the low-paid jobs that make a modern service economy run," there is another like Peter Brimelow's in the National Review. His title tells it all: "Time to Rethink Immigration?" The burden of his argument is that America has admitted too many immigrants of the wrong ethnic background (he himself is a new arrival from Britain), that neither our economy nor our culture can stand the strain, and that "it may be time to close the second period of American history [the first having been the era of the open frontier] with the announcement that the U.S. is no longer an 'immigrant country.'" In short, we're here; you foreigners stay home. Nor are journalists the only voices in the debate. Last August California's governor Pete Wilson got media attention with a proposal to amend the Constitution so as to deny citizenship to an entire class of people born in the United States, namely, those unlucky enough to be the children of illegal immigrants.
If, as I have, you have been "doing" immigration history for many years, you've heard the restrictionists arguments before and expect to hear them again. And you are under the obligation to answer back, because what is at stake in the argument is nothing less than the essential nature of the United States of America. We are different. We aren't the only country that receives immigration or that has to deal with resentment directed toward "aliens." The popularity in France of Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front party and the surge of anti-foreign (and neo-Nazi) "Germany-for-Germans" violence in Germany are evidence of that. It's also true that in a world of swift intercontinental travel and instant global communication, immigration policy cannot really be made by separate governments as if they lived in a vacuum. Such problems as there are demand multinational solutions.
Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the United States of America is different. Immigration is flesh of our flesh, and we need to be reminded of that. Some sneer at the statement that we are a nation of immigrants as a cliché; all nations, they assert, are made up of mixtures of different peoples. So they are, as new tribes and races displaced old ones by conquest or by random migration. But the United States was created by settlers who arrived from elsewhere, who deliberately and calculatedly invited and urged others to follow them, and who encouraged the process in ways that were unique. Of course, countries like Canada and Australia depended on immigration for survival and success, but only the United States made the acquisition of citizenship swift and simple; only the United States made it a matter of principle to equalize the conditions of new citizens and old; only the United States takes special pride in describing American nationality as, by definition, independent of race and blood—as something that is acquired by residence and allegiance regardless of birthplace or ancestry.
Confirmation of that statement is in the record, and the record needs to be reviewed. It is not a flawless one. Of course the people of the United States have not always extended an equal welcome to all races; of course there have been spasms of hostility like the current wave—in the 1790s, in the 1850s, in the 1920s. They are also part of the record, but on the whole the record is exceptional and ought to be known and understood before any new major changes in policy are made.
Every Passover Jews the world over sit down to the Seder table to retell the story of Exodus from Egypt in order to pass on to their children and renew in themselves their sense of who, what, and why they are. There was a time when the Fourth of July was an occasion for re-creating the days of the American Revolution, in order to serve the same purpose for Americans. (I hope that it makes a comeback, despite the assaults of a misguided "multiculturalism.")
Now is the proper occasion for retelling the immigration story. So let us begin at the beginning, with the statement that offends the new exclusionist.

Hey all,Long time lurker on the board but now I finally have something to post/add to the conversation. I'm a huge Amazing Race fan and, when hearing here that DC was the final destination city, I took an extra hour for lunch from work in DC and checked out the filming in and around town. Amazing experience, and topped it off with being right next to clue box while teams ran into a challenge at Nationals Park and spotted Phil leaving for a standup/shoot.Quick summary:-Saw four teams, including hockey players (who seemed to be slowly going about things from the challenge to their cab, which makes me think they were decoys..more below), pink female/female (from my glimpse, Elizabeth and Mona, who were in a rush at the Roadblock and hailing a cab) and the male/female (the team discussed as maybe Jaclyn and Jarrod, hurting to hail a cab along the Tidal Basin) as well as a female pink team (I think from posts it would be Jennifer Wayne, who seemed to be taking her time talking to the camera crew during the Roadblock)-Roadblock: Teams raced from previous location (unknown to me, but rumored to be downtown/Old Post Office Pavilion) to Tidal Basin for Switchback of the Family Edition DC Roadblock in that they had to find a spie amongst 100s around the Basin to whisper a phrase and exchange briefcases. Teams ran into the Jefferson Memorial and then team member ran to find their spy. I counted/encountered about 150 spies wandering the Basin, and saw the pink team rush out with camera in toe to find their spie. I have one picture of the lone pink team being filmed, but they again seemed to be taking their time with production and not racing. After circling around, Mona and Elizabeth were trying hard to hail a cab in the worst spot along the Basin to catch one (and didn't hear me offering to help from my car) and about 10 feet away Jaclyn/Jarod were trying hard as well. Seemed these two teams were in a dead heat and trying in the same spot for cabs and were holding clue envelopes. This location was not too tourist filled, but there was a large contingent of production cars, tents and crew along with circling helicopter. Additionally, passed a few towncars that had race flags on the front bumpers like flags that are usually utilized by cars carrying diplomats (think the motorcade and the little flags on the front ends of the hood). Not sure if this was the transportation from Dulles to Roadblock or from elsewhere.-Nats Park (either a Detour or challenge task): I saw Phil here early on walking to production cars to head out. Setup, with crew members, were rigging leading from outfield plaza in left center to the top of the highest point of park across the outfield above first base. From my two vantage points (I have a few pictures), teams started in the plaza and had to work their way up (by winch, hand crank, I don't know) up to the top, get a clue and then exited front of park. After seeing the Roadblock, I came back to Nats Park and clue box was set up at main gate and the hockey team ran out slowly, carrying their briefcase and leaving their camer and sound guy far behind, to their cab and hopped in to head out. One of them commented "It was snug in that thing". Again, they were running slow but they were the only team there at that time, and I knew that the other two teams were still back at the Roadblock. Perhaps they knew they had a lead? Production car followed them out of the park and onto the next destination.I didn't hear any clues as to finish line, but from the earlier tweet, and time of year, Mt. Vernon Estate (George Washington's home and estate) would fit perfectly, as it's secluded, down an access road and usually quiet this time of year.I have multiple pictures on my phone (some good, some not great due to trying to shoot pictures and driving) that I can't upload until I get home (or Peach, can you pull from my Twitter or if I post to facebook?). Needless to say, it was awesome seeing this in action.
Mnay thanks to STROCHE for these wonderful pics! They came a bit scrambled time wise so I grouped some, and added a few closeups, but he is going to have to explain them all!12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334
stroche -- I was on the ground in DC today too, but didn't get nearly as much (good) information as you got. I can fill in the blanks on the Old Post Office, though.After scoping out Lincoln, Vietnam, World War I and other monuments on the west side of the Mall from about 11 am on looking for production or other clues (and finding naught), literally stumbled into a team over by the Martin Luther King Memorial at a little after noon. Two women, brunettes, wearing red fleece jackets, with film crew. They seemed to be working on some clue that had something to do with MLK. No production folks at the site, though. They talked to a memorial docent, who told them the only other MLK-related things he could think of were the MLK library (highly unlikely, it's an ugly 70's glass building in a high-traffic part of town) or an inscription on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial where MLK gave his "I Had a Dream" speech. He was under the impression the girls would head to the Lincoln Memorial. I talked to their cab driver, who said the girls had told him not to wait as they didn't know how long they would be. That could have caused them a problem. FWIW, he really liked them, so they must not have been too assy.A set of guys were there as well, but I only saw them from afar, as I was talking to their cab driver, who had been asked to wait. He described one of them as having longish blond hair, had no description of the other. Just then, the guys popped out at the end of the block and waved him down, so he sped away from me to get them. Saw another guy there with shortish brown hair, but didn't see them from the front. Tried to follow their cab, but they got away from me. Went back to the Lincoln but found no teams and no production. The whole MLK thing must have been either a bad misreading of a clue or a decoy route.Got a tip that there was a road closure over by the Smithsonian Museum of American History, so headed there. Turned out that the racers went to the nearby Old Post Office. I got there about 10 minutes after they left, no production in sight. There, they had to get their clue in a souvenir shop after having their picture taken with a cardboard Obama. The shop keeper told me that three teams came for clues, all within about 5-10 minutes of each other. All of them asked for directions to the Tidal Basin. I was told that blondes in pink were there. Unfortunately, I had to give up the chase at that point and return to life. So As an aside, the Old Post Office seemed an odd choice. Inside there's nothing but a food court and a few small, tacky shops. There's a gubbmint agency on the top floors, so you can't get in without a full security check (x ray machine for jackets and packages, metal detector to enter). Maybe CBS got that waived.Got a couple of pics, but they're either too blurry or too far away to be of use. I'll post 'em anyway once I get them off my camera.Sorry I couldn't get more, but it was fun to run along, and I don't expect TAR to come back to DC anytime soon. Thanks for launching me on this quest, Peach!
To add detail and notes to my photos and adventure yesterday.-this was the final destination city....awesome choice although it was 50 degrees chilly and grey out which is typical dc winter weather.-per the info found here, appears teams arrived via international terminal at Dulles.-I saw three teams. Earlier I stated four but upon review, and having a chance to calm down from the excitement, it was three. All three didn't appear to be decoys and are as follows:1)male/female team earlier noted to be the team possibly Jaclyn/Jarod. The earlier shot posted here of this team helped me ID them as he was wearing very similar outfit to that shot/bright green running sneakers.2)pink team I can verify was the grapplers Elizabeth and Mona.3)male/male hockey players, who were in a lead based on my timingLocations I saw were between 12 noon and 1:15 pm at Nationals Park (clue box and challenge rigging as noted earlier in my post and seen in my shots) and Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial (Part of the larger West and East Potomac Park off the National Mall). The sequence of my shots, since they were out of order, was Nationals Park (from 12-12:35ish with shots of rigging, gates and Phil & steady cam) then Tidal Basin (12:40-1ish with shots of Roadblock with spies, teams running around with briefcases and teams attempting to hail a cab after getting clue) and then back to Nats Park (1-1:15 for shots of clue box and hockey players jumping into cab following challenge).Some notes about what I saw/clarify now that you see the shots:-I noted the rigging for the challenge seemed to have teams manually ascend up the rigging from the outfield plaza to the top of the stadium. I didn't see it in action however the rigging and harnesses were set up in the plaza but it could have been for Phil's standup when i saw them there (notice in the shots through the gate you can see the truss and all on the outfield plaza but mats set up in front to perhaps stop a descent of a team member as if a zip line). I didn't see the hockey players complete this but did hear one say it was snug up in there as they ran out.-hockey players were running casually which made me think they were decoys but based on the sequence and my timing, they were ahead by a lot (20-30 mins) then the teams I saw scrambling at the Roadblock at the Basin. With this lead and being only team at the challenge, I could understand a slower pace out to their cab, especially since a production car and camera crew followed along in other car and in cab (see the photo of the yellow cab...they ran out and hopped in and I didn't have my phone ready sadly)-the shots of the pink team are the one in the dark vest sprinting around the basin doing the roadblock and her partner waiting with camera crew behind the car as seen in the shot. This is Elizabeth and Mona. They seemed to have upper hand/lead over female/male team by just a few minutes. The one behind the car was giving reaction/thoughts to camera man calmly, but had pack on ready to go. Production asked me to move along nicely but as I drove by I could see a team sprinting up steps of Jefferson across the Basin. I also passed the town car/limo with race flags on bumper like a motorcade but only saw one. Based on the parking lot, tents and crew, I'm now concluding that the clue was to find this car and driver for clue for roadblock and then do spy portion. I do not think it was their transportation as there was only one and that area seemed to be home base for crew and where the one team member waited.-teams (as seen in the distant shots of what looks like sidewalks and streets you can see Mona/Elizabeth and camera man) ran out from the Mall side of the Basin to intersection of Independence Ave by the Basin and ramps to/off of southeast southwest freeway and 395 by Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Both pink and male/female were trying to hail cabs at same time within 15 feet of each other and frantically running up and down sidewalk trying to get one, clue envelopes in hand. This is not a strong spot for cabs, and sadly I couldn't flag them down to tell them.-there is one shot of a man in a red jacket at Nats Park pointing as if giving to directions to another man. That's just the security guy at the gate giving directions to a tourist...errant shot!-I don't know where they came from but from these other tweets Old Post Office sounds like their earlier stop. I've been to that gift store and its junky and tacky and they try to get every tourist to stop and take a picture with the Obama cut out. Not sure if that was a task, etc but the team seen in that shot is Mona and Elizabeth and were wearing the same clothes at Roadblock. Interesting note: old post office is one of the underused federally owned buildings that recently was sold and will be becoming a trump hotel. Historical landmark that makes for a great route marker, and he's promised to preserve it somehow.-didn't overhear anything about Mount Vernon but makes great sense for finish line. Direct route from Nats Park on highways to GW Parkway which runs right up to the estate, secluded and not a heavy tourist destination this time of year mid day when they were racing (come spring and summer tons of school kids)
December 7, 2012 - Avid reality show fan here. Heard news that the Amazing Race 22 was filming around the DC Metro area yesterday. hop on to the Metro train station to Nationals Park in the afternoon. Saw notice signs on lightpoles everywhere saying that there was an event taken place at the ballpark. when i approach the center field gates ... saw a team (two males) with a camera guy filming them around the Amazing Race clue box possibly deciding to do the detour challenge or not . As you can see also, there was EMT ambulance on stand by too. Didn't see any other team(s) beside them during that time. Apparently they were well ahead at that point of the race.
The teams we see in the caps of DC are Maxie, Caroline and Jen (you can see her brown coat in cap 9 and then on the zipline in cap 26) and then Mona and Beth but there's a picture of Bates with the president what is going on? But notice Bates is in a suit but Beth/Mona is just in her running gear when taking a picture with the president... strange.. are they using decoys even in the commercials??

If you look closely, it looks like just their heads are photo shopped into the photos. Beth or is that Mona, have the reverses in colors. Black over red, not red under black. I think its just coincidence.

Doctor faces hearing over beating of Iraqi detainees
A Scottish army medic faces being struck off over allegations that he was involved in covering up the beating of Iraqi detainees.
One detainee, Baha Mousa, died in 2003 after what an inquiry described as an "appalling episode" of violence.
Dr Derek Keilloh was serving as a medical officer with the Queen's Lancashire Regiment in Basra in 2003.
A General Medical Council fitness to practise panel will begin considering the case next week.
Mr Mousa died with 93 injuries in British army custody in Basra.
He was arrested, along with nine other Iraqis, at the Haitham Hotel in Basra on 14 September 2003 by members of the 1st Battalion The Queen's Lancashire Regiment (1QLR).
In 2011, the chairman of the year-long inquiry into his death, Sir William Gage, blamed "corporate failure" at the Ministry of Defence for the use of banned interrogation methods in Iraq.
Sir William said a "large number" of soldiers assaulted Mr Mousa and the other detainees, and he added that many others - including several officers - must have known what was happening.
Dr Keilloh, from Aberdeen, faces a misconduct hearing over allegations that he failed to ensure written records were made of medical examinations of civilian detainees.
It is claimed that after trying unsuccessfully to resuscitate Mr Mousa, after he had stopped breathing on 15 September 2003, injuries were observed by Dr Keilloh and other medical staff.
He also faces allegations of failing to conduct an adequate examination of the body after death and failing to notify a superior officer of the circumstances of his death.
Two other cases of not recording injuries, and therefore failing to safeguard the physical condition of detainees, will also be considered.
The GMC fitness to practise panel will meet in Manchester on 11 June. The hearing is expected to last four weeks.
