Who is claiming to be the Correct Police? I never read anywhere here that they were present. I only saw two people who questioned the fender. I have never seen or heard anyone ever claim to be the Correct Police. They merely exist in the minds of those who want to believe they exist.
I won't dispute the fact this fender exists, we all know IH did a lot of things without telling the public about it. But why does it exist? If IH made this to ease the mounting and dismounting of Loboys, then why didn't they continue to use it until the end of production? It makes no sense for them to have two different fenders and put them on as they pleased.
Why does this fender not have its own part number? Surely they didn't assign the same number to an entirely different part. How do you keep your inventory straight?
Chris D wrote:Not only to back up these recent pictures, but I done a good search thru yahoo images of lowboy cubs and sure enough I came across a good handful in just a few minutes of looking. Some were round nose lowboys and some square nose. However there were lots on there with full fenders these fenders were put on them from a factory when built.
Chris, can you post some of these pix so others can see that this fender exists on other tractors. If you say you can back it up, then I'm sure others would like to see them.

Oh it was good to be back in the ATL where there's never worry of a drama drought. True to their nature, the ladies brought it again tonight during the Season 5 premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Out of the gate, we saw NeNe Leakes trying to work things out with her ex Gregg, who may not be her ex any longer. "Of course Gregg wants me back," she declared, but said he's going to have to work for it -- that should be interesting to watch. Then she was off to L.A. for a fabulous, intimate lunch with Hollywood icon, Ryan Murphy. NeNe has done well for herself to say the least. But she still couldn't help but getting in a dig about Kim Zolciak and her being from a trailer park, so you know that feud is still brewing.
Of course, NOTHING Kim does is without drama, so the fact that she's pregnant AGAIN and about to be homeless is no surprise. What is surprising -- the $101,000 estimate it would take to pack and move the contents of her mega mansion. Does she have that many wigs?
Kandi Burruss is in love with her new man and her crazy new mansion ... or mansions. The two side-by-side houses were a bit bizarre, but she seems happy, so that's all good. Phaedra Parks is expanding her funeral business to take on pets, and is always good for some hilarious one liners.
But it was new girl Kenya Moore who really started things off with a bang. In her opening credit she says, "I won Miss USA, not Miss Congeniality," and she doesn't seem to have any congeniality aspirations either. She came off as vain, self-involved, arrogant, and full of herself. And if any of those terms are redundant, that's because so was she.
When Cynthia Bailey was hosting auditions at her modeling school for Jet magazine's "Beauty of the Week," she asked Kenya to come judge ... and then regretted that decision greatly. While it was true that some of the women auditioning made you wonder what they were thinking, Kenya actually asked at least one of them, "Why are you here?" Out loud. She asked another if she'd seen her in magazines, and when the girl was stumped and started to look around for help, Kenya snapped, "I'm the one who asked you the question. Look at me."
When another strutted in with a skimpy bikini, Kenya couldn't yell "coochie crack" enough times, and even had the gall to point out to the girl that she hadn't shaved. Was the girl inappropriate? Absolutely. But Kenya was so inappropriate she made her look good, and Cynthia was mortified in front of Jet's people.
When Cynthia's assistant tried to say a few words to Kendra she freaked the hell out and called her security ... which she says she always travels with because she's "a public figure."
Then she went on to totally try to take over Cynthia's audition, and criticized her when she was talking. There's a war a brewing between those two for sure as Kenya speculated that Cynthia was intimidated by her, and Cynthia was just outright pissed. "If Kenya's coming for me, I'm coming for Kenya." Can't wait to see it.
Previews look intense, and we still have one more new RHOA lady to meet that's being thrown into the mix -- Porsha Stewart. Welcome back ATL.
Do you think Kenya Moore is going to be trouble on this season?

Sept. 22, 2007
Courtesy Nichols Sports Information
DUDLEY, Mass. - Junior running back Robert Morris ran for 193 yards, including a 90-yard run and two touchdowns to lead the Nichols football team past MIT, 31-28, on Saturday at Vendetti Field. The Bison improve to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the NEFC Boyd Division while the Engineers slip to 0-3 overall and 0-1 in divisional play.
Sophomore Anthony Pillari ran in what proved to be the winning touchdown from 20 yards out with 12:41 left to play. MIT capitalized on its very first drive of the game, marching down the field 66 yards on 10 plays. Freshman Brian Doyle connected with senior Ulzie Rea from five yards out to cap the drive and give the Engineers the early lead. Doyle paced MIT to a two touchdown lead late in the opening quarter with his run from six yards out.
Nichols quickly responded, however, finding the end zone on a seven play, 54-yard drive. Morris ran in his first touchdown of the day from six yards out. The Bison tied the score at 14 just 3:36 after their first score thanks to Morris' 90-yard rush. After Morris was finally tracked down at the MIT two yard line, freshman Chris Stewart punched it into the end zone on the next play. Freshmen Justin Nelson and Joshua Padilla connected on the two-point conversion to make it a 14-14 game with 12:12 left in the second quarter.
MIT broke a 16-minute scoring drought for both teams when sophomore DeRon Brown scampered into the end zone with a 78-yard dash and 11:30 still left in the third quarter.
Freshman Mark Capitanio got Nichols to within four, 21-17, with a 35 yard field goal midway through the quarter, before Morris capped off a 13-play, 65-yard drive for Nichols early in the fourth to make it a 24-21 game. Morris pounded his way into the end zone from one-yard out while totaling 13 yards on the drive.
Starting from their own 25-yard line off the ensuing kick-off, Bill Hassett recovered an MIT fumble on just the second play of the drive to give the ball back to the Bisons. Nelson completed a six-yard pass to Pillari to get down to the MIT 20. Pillari then broke a few tackles on the next play and marched into the end zone to give Nichols a key 31-21 lead with 12:41 left.
The Bison would end up needing Pillari's touchdown as MIT's Tyler Liechty made an 88 yard interception return just three minutes later to get the Engineers to within three, 31-28. MIT had a chance to tie the game with 1:38 left to play but sophomore Corey Garvey had his 34-yard field goal attempt blocked by freshman Jonathan Merjuste.
Pillari and Padilla led all receivers with five catches each while Nelson finished the day 13-of-22 for 135 yards. Pillari added 47 yards on the ground while Nelson contributed 42.
Doyle finished 8-of-21 for 106 yards with one touchdown pass. Junior Ben Grannan ran for 105 yards for MIT while Brown rushed for 98. Doyle also had 33 yards rushing and a score.
Defensively, Nichols was led by senior Matthew Parkinson who had 14 tackled, two sacks and an interception. Hassett added nine tackles as did senior Brendan Bonn. Liechty led MIT with 13 tackles, including two for losses, one forced fumble and one interception. Junior Kevin Foley posted ten tackles for the Engineers as well.

Light cabinets are the usual way to keep your utility room feeling fresh, but how about considering other options? A quick makeover with a darker shade, such as this elegant navy blue, imparts a modern country look, particularly when paired with aged brass taps and hardware.
Comfortable area for conversation. Seating in drawing rooms should be arranged with group conversations in mind. Place furniture in a way that people can gather for chatting and no one will feel left out. This may mean pulling out those extra stools and ottomans, and chairs from other rooms, to create conversation areas. There can be more than one grouping.

If you didn't know any better, you would think it was for mayor or even borough president given how ardently he is campaigning for an unpaid district leader position in North Brooklyn.
Restler held a rally on the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall on Monday with supporters, and what big name supporters they were!
Generally, candidates for district leader are hand-picked by the party leaders and are a shoe-in when it comes to getting elected, because the position is looked at as a stepping stone up the ladder of a political party, not usually as a position with any real influence.
But if you do find yourself actually "running" for a district leader position, you're lucky to get the support of your local City Council member, but you'll be happy to hold a press conference or two with maybe the head of a local civic association or the chairman of your community board.
Not Lincoln Restler!
Restler not only got a piece of prime real estate at Brooklyn Borough Hall for his endorsement party, he got some of the biggest names in politics in the borough to lend their support.
The list of supporters included Borough President Marty Markowitz, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, Councilwoman Diana Reyna, State Senator Eric Adams, State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, Assemblywoman Joan Millman…whew!
Forgive us if we left anyone out, but that's a lot of people to keep track of.
Not too bad for a guy running for a position that most people have never even heard of. No seriously…quick!...who's your district leader? That's what we thought. Did you even know that there is a female and male district leader, and sometimes a Part A and Part B? Exactly our point.
But give him credit; Restler has redefined the post, making it about reforming the Democratic Party from within.
In fact, much of his support probably has as much to do with Restler himself as borough politicians' dissatisfaction with party boss Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who is increasingly finding himself at the center of a splintered party membership.
Not that Restler isn't deserving, but quite frankly, he had nothing to lose and could say things about the Kings County Democratic Party leadership that perhaps a lot of those supporting him were thinking for years, but couldn't come out and say for fear of losing their position.
We're not sure if this whole reform thing will stick, but someone who until a few years ago was just an anonymous face on the streets of North Brooklyn has managed to energize the Democratic Party in Brooklyn in a way that hasn't been seen for decades.
Think what he could do if he actually held an elected position that paid him to do this full time?

A couple of questions:
I noticed that when I insert a thumbdrive, my system sets the owner of the files on said drive to owner "user" (being whatever user I'm logged in as) and the group to "root". So if I had a program with the setgid bit enabled on this thumbdrive, created from some other computer, wouldn't this allow the user to run this program with the privileges of the root group? And, in doing so, wouldn't this compromise security? Don't all users in the "root" group have superuser privileges?
Or, would the system simply ignore any setuid/setgid for any files located on the drive? Speaking of which, I'm wondering where the system is storing file permission data for these files in the first place, especially for NTFS volumes (I have a dual boot setup with either Windows or Linux), obviously windows isn't setting aside place for them! I suppose what I'm trying to ask is, are these attributes stored in the file record themselves or in some type of central repository that determines what permissions each file has.

Up in the Air
The upheaval in the computer hardware industry is not unlike what's happening in the airline industry. Think of the old carriersUnited Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Linesas the legacy vendors of their industry: high-cost firms providing a multiplicity of products and services for a premium price, as if the airline business were stuck in its past as a luxury enjoyed by the few. Then along comes Southwest Airlines, with a low-cost business model, significantly undercutting the major carriers on price while offering benefits such as better on-time performance. Southwest's advantages didn't matter so much during the high-flying 1990s, when the price of an airline ticket meant little. But the failings of the old model became glaringly obvious when the economy turned down and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks slowed air travel further.
Today, the major carriers are scrambling to find a way out of the mess. United declared bankruptcy in early December, American is cutting prices on regular flights, while Delta has plans to imitate Southwest by establishing a low-cost carrier of its own, something it has tried before, with miserable results.
If this sounds familiar, it should. Dell's competitors have tried similar tactics, with little success. So change they must. IBM has been the most successful. Over the last decade, Big Blue has all but exited the desktop PC businessa bold move considering the company started that industry. Instead, IBM is focusing on hardware markets where it can offer unique technology, like laptops, or leverage its strength in services and software, like servers. Today, hardware comprises just 36 percent of IBM's revenues.
Meanwhile, IBM has steadily expanded its software and services business, to the extent that it now makes up 60 percent of total revenues, by far the most of any of the old-line computer companies. Software revenues totaled $3.1 billion in the third quarter, while services totaled $8.9 billion. The recent acquisitions of PwC Consulting and Rational Software only add to the company's strength in these areas.
Unlike IBM, HP decided to tackle Dell head-on, first by building PCs to order. But the company was unwilling to give up its retail channel or its extensive R&D budget, and its refusal to go all the way into made-to-order PCs doomed its effort to compete on Dell's terms.
Then it bought Compaq. But that's the same failed strategy American Airlines employed when it bought Trans World Airlines in 2001. The deal helped American lay claim to the dubious distinction of being the largest carrier in the world, but did little if anything to help American compete with Southwest. Like American, HP has spent the last year laying off thousands of employees in an attempt to reduce its cost structure.

Beginning its 101st year in 2013, the objective for the members of the Lindsborg Masonic Lodge No. 397 will be to conduct even more community service activities, Mike Terry of McPherson said.
Beginning its 101st year in 2013, the objective for the members of the Lindsborg Masonic Lodge No. 397 will be to conduct even more community service activities, Mike Terry of McPherson said.
Terry was installed as master of the lodge at the mid-December open installation. Family and others attended the installation and a dinner provided by the Lindsborg Eastern Star ladies at the nearby senior center.
"Yes, we've worked on community service projects in the past, such as helping in the Lindsborg Library catalog books for its new software program and providing the CHIPs program at Lindsborg, McPherson and Marquette grade school functions," Terry said.
CHIPs is the CH Identification Program, where parents are given a package of materials and a CD for storage that includes photographs, fingerprints and a DNA swab. The materials are intended to aid in the case of a missing child.
"We've identified at least four additional possible community service projects for our Lodge in 2013," Terry said. "Our members are looking forward to doing this work for the community." The 2013 officers have their homes in six different towns, including Lindsborg, Marquette,
McPherson and Galva. Others who have moved out of the area continue to renew membership.
The Masons is the largest fraternal organization in Kansas, with 22,000 members nationally and internationally. Masonry is best known for its philanthropic efforts, including the Kansas Masonic Foundation Student Loan Program.
A Partnership of Life is an important program sponsored by Kansas Masons that raised the necessary millions to fund the new Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute at the KU Medical Center.

text: For years and years, my mother and grandmother have been telling me, "make sure you dry your hair before you go to sleep, you'll catch a cold if you go to bed with wet hair." For most of those years, I've often wondered if this was actually true or if it was just an old wives tale. I actually prefer going to bed with a wet head, that way in the morning, I can quickly style my hair without having to damage it by using the blow dryer. Let's bust this myth open and find out if sleeping on your foam latex mattress with a wet head is actually dangerous or a myth gone too far.

15 Iconic Entertainment Franchises That Deserve Better Games
Lost in translation.
Home » Galleries » Features » 15 Iconic Entertainment Franchises That Deserve Better Games
The Matrix
When it released, The Matrix was one of the biggest films of all time, so naturally, it eventually obtained a video game based off the world. Enter the Matrix was set before and during the events of the second movie The Matrix Reloaded. However, thanks to a poor story, controls, visuals, and characters it failed spectacularly which pretty much signified the end of any games based on this franchise. Given the fascinating world and concept of The Matrix, it would be great to dive back into this story and further explore the lore.
Ju-On: The Grudge
While the J-Horror craze has died down here in the west, a certain popular movie property called The Grudge received its own spin-off title. Sadly, the poor controls, lack of any real scares, and short campaign left many fans wanting more.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Perhaps the most famous movie based video game of all time, E.T. released back in 1982 and is one of the main reasons that the entire industry crashed. One of the most shameful cash-ins every made, E.T. lacked all of the charm, look, and feel of the film. Thanks to this failure of a title, the E.T. brand will always be remembered for almost putting a halt to modern gaming.
Thor: God of Thunder
Even though Marvel has been absolutely dominating in the film industry, sadly the comic book company has been struggling to produce a sufficient video game. Thor: God of Thunder was one of the first attempts to build not only off the Marvel brand but Chris Hemsworth's steely good looks. Yet, this title never came close to living up to its movie theater counterpart causing it to be lost to time and find a comfortable home in bargain bins.
Friday The 13th
Setting aside that this horror franchise is set to get another shot at glory sometime soon, the original Friday the 13th game was shockingly bad. From the unnaturally bright visuals that contradicted the concept of a horror game to a boss battle where you punch Jason to death, Friday The 13th will forever be remembered as one of the worst video games of all time. At least we can hope that the next one is better, right?
Rambo: The Video Game
When it comes to action icons Rambo is certainly up near the top, yet how this film series hasn't been able to translate into gaming is a mystery to us. On paper Rambo appears to be the perfect type of character to lead a chaotic, tongue-in-cheek action game, but it's 2014 execution was nothing short of a disaster. From boring gameplay to laughably bad visuals to one of the worst difficulty spikes in history, Rambo: The Video Game misses every shot it takes.
DC has had a fair amount of luck when it comes to their video game properties, but sadly the Man of Steel has yet to obtain a worthy iteration. There have been a lot of mediocre games about Clark Kent, but Superman 64 is by far the most infamous. With poor controls, terrible graphics, and boring missions, Superman 64 has cast a shadow over this iconic character for years now.
Did you know there were actually two games based off Saw? While this torture based horror series took off in series, both of the games suffered from bad voice acting, graphics, and worst of all very easy puzzles. This made both of the Saw games a walk in the park, as they lacked the franchise's signature, sinister traps.
Iron Man
Much like Thor, Iron Man has just never received a proper iteration for those looking to step into the shoes of Tony Stark. Most of this is thanks to poor level design, bad flying mechanics, and a lack of solid foundation for the gameplay to build upon.
Avatar is one of the biggest movies of all time and helped revolutionize how theaters showcase 3D to their viewers. When it comes to the video game side of things, Avatar failed to even produce competent controls that were only held back more by the linear level design.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Horror movies have had really bad luck when it comes to adaptations and the famed Nightmare on Elm Street is no different. Despite being one of the most open horror films in terms of creativity, A Nightmare on Elm Street came off as a cheap Castlevania knock off that failed to gtrasp the full potential the licensed offered.
Independence Day
Even though Star Fox 64 totally ripped off the idea of Independence Day in a single mission, we have never truly obtained a worthy game to this science fiction classic. This is a shame given the wacky, action-fueled moments could make for some great set pieces for any Triple A video game.
King Kong
"Removing the HUD so I won't know how much ammo and health I have is a great idea" said no one ever. King Kong focused more on attempting to immerse the players in their world than crafting a well-told story or interesting encounters that would make use of the various monsters roaming this island.
G.I. Joe
The G.I. Joe license is perfect for video games yet after 9 different titles no one has been able to capture that sweet Saturday morning cartoon action. Despite a few of the older G.I. Joe titles being passable, the two latest iterations offered nothing more than poor design, characters, gameplay, and sound.
Terminator 2
There are nearly 30 Terminator games and somehow none have truly reached the lofty heights of other licensed titles like Batman, Alien, and Star Wars. Even with two games out of the 29 being good, a 2-27 ratio is not exactly a stellar record for any property. Perhaps someday we will truly get to step into the shoes of a Terminator and wreck havoc upon the world.

First coined by Lydia Fraley McCormick in roughly 2005, it is the act of pretending to fire rockets out of your own or a childs ass as if it were a rocket launcher.
"I'm going to make the baby dooker shoot you" by holding the child on its back, gently jerking the leg, bent at the knee, back towards you like cocking a shotgun with the babys butt aimed at the person, and issuing the noise associated with children pretending to fire a gun.

"Viva Dojo Challenge! Youth is All About Passion!" (ビバ道場破り! 青春はバクハツだ, Biba Dōjōyaburi! Seishun wa Bakuhatsuda) is episode 193 of the original Naruto anime.
After returning from another mission, Naruto found a poster for a dōjō. The dōjō (which was poorly constructed), turned out to be owned by Lee. After initially believing Naruto came to challenge him and slamming him through a wall, Lee explained he built his dōjō in the hopes that skilled warriors of various disciplines would come to challenge him so he could improve his skill for combat. After narrowly escaping Lee's request to face him, Naruto bumped into Guy and told him about Lee's dōjō. Guy, who was so proud of his student's dedication to improve, decided to help Lee by disguising himself (albeit a very poor disguise) and challenging Lee. Unfortunately, Guy was called by Tsunade to go and help Team 10 who reported some trouble. Unbeknownst to him and Naruto, a thief named Nanafushi who came to Konoha to steal its secrets impersonated Guy as he left. Naruto, thinking he was really Guy, dragged him to Lee's dōjō. Not wanting to break character, Nanafushi challenged Lee and was quickly defeated.
Nanafushi managed to convince Naruto he was just exhausted and had Naruto fill in for him. Knowing he couldn't beat Lee in direct combat, Naruto relied on various shadow clone tactics. Before the fight could be finished, Nanafushi (who now disguised himself as Lee) was knocked out cold by the real Guy. After getting their facts straight on who was who, they brought Nanafushi to Tsunade, unaware of who he was. Immediately after Tsunade gave them orders to search for and capture Nanafushi, they handed him over to Tsunade. This was the fastest mission that Naruto has ever completed successfully.

Safely Dispose of Unwanted Medications September 29th
Disposing of expired and unused medications is serious business. On September 29th the Victoria County Sheriff's office will make it easy for you.
The Victoria County Sheriff's Office is hosting the second National Medication Take Back Initiative this year from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 29. The public can safely dispose of expired, unused or unwanted prescriptions and over-the-counter medications at this one-day event. The sheriff's office will collect medications, no questions asked, at 101 N. Glass St. in downtown Victoria, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
According to the Victoria Advocate, collection will be performed with a drive through line so you will not have to get out of your vehicle. Medications do not have to be labeled and they do not have to be in your name. Illegal drugs will not be accepted. There is no cost to use this service.
The first Medication Take Back was on April 28 and over the four-hour collection period, 155 cars from Victoria and as far away as Austin disposed of 443 pounds of medications or 2.86 pounds per car, according to the news release. Victoria had one of the highest rates of medications collected for the Houston region thanks to the efforts of community stakeholders, according to the news release.
Collected medications will be shipped to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in Houston. The DEA follows federal disposal regulations. According to the DEA, this is the only program where controlled medications can be turned in, no questions asked, to be destroyed. Last year, about 189 tons of medications were collected through this initiative.
This initiative is an important way to prevent and reduce injury related to accidental ingestion of these substances caused by keeping the substances in your home. Proper disposal of these substances also protects the environment.
If you cannot bring your medications to the drop off, there are other ways to dispose of medications.
First, check your medications for disposal instructions and follow the procedures listed, if available. Second, call your pharmacy to see if they offer a take back program for the substances you have. Third, the city of Victoria landfill is permitted to accept medications, so if you live in or around Victoria, it is legal to dispose of medications in your residential garbage.

New Dodge Steering Gear For The '94-to-'01 Dodge Ram 4x4Posted in How To on September 1, 2010
If you're an owner of a '94-to-'01 Dodge Ram 4x4, then you're probably familiar with the steering woes that can accompany this otherwise likeable truck. Not only did the track bars cause steering and vibration issues, steering linkage and steering shafts were prone to premature wear as well. If you solved all of these issues with aftermarket components like many owners did, you still had a worn-out steering box that was no longer produced by Delphi.
Even worse, some of the inner components were discontinued, too. "Rebuilt" Dodge steering boxes still had worn-out worm gears that gave a lot of play (sometimes a quarter-turn's worth) between the steering wheel and the sector shaft. The play in the 'wheel was just something Dodge owners have had to live with. But not anymore.
PSC Motorsports has been working hard to figure out the same issue for its own Dodge trucks, and after a lot of effort it has been able to start producing all new internal components to load into the Delphi cases. What's more is that PSC has taken the extra step to prevent premature failure at the sector shaft and now offers a sector shaft stabilizer bracket as an option with the new Dodge steering gear.
If you're a '94-to-'01 Dodge owner, we recommend giving PSC a call-we did, and our project truck, Jinxy, hasn't steered this nicely since it was new.

Just a little bit ....
In the morning I didn't believe my eyes, when I saw the first flurries. I let the dogs out on the deck, and they started to play immediately.
There was a lot of licking going on, and sliding too.
My favorite shot of the day:
And this one too. This is the way Happy looks, when Denny is up to no good.
Snow flakes on Happy's head.
In the afternoon, there was a little bit more snow, and the sun came through too.
Maggie leaned a little. Denny yelled at her.
All that yelling made him thirsty. Nom, nom, nom, snow is soooo good!
Well, as grumpy we were yesterday, we were happy today. It wont last, of course, but there will be more of it (grumpiness, happiness, snow).

Glad to hear that your rain turned to snow finally. Our snow is nothing but ice now as it's been slowing melting and freezing. I had to put the extra treads on my boots so I don't go flying in the back yard. Your dogs look as happy as mine when the snow falls. That Denny is such a goof.

You should wish for something you really want, like winning the lottery!! But snow is better than mud I think? Gorgeous pictures of the snow on Happy's head, of Maggie leaning and Denny just being Denny.

3 Strikes Plan Re-established In Ireland After Court Decides To Ignore Data Protection Commission Ruling
from the protect-what-data? dept
The labels fought back... and have now won. A court has rejected the findings of the Data Protection Commission (DPC) and argued, amazingly, that there are simply no privacy concerns at all with having ISPs track what you do online. Well, that's not quite how the court put it. Instead, it said that there's no privacy questions involved in "the detection and punishment of individuals who engage in unlawful Internet file-sharing." Er... considering the whole issue that kicked this off was false accusations against those who did not engage in such things, it seems the judge is pretty confused. Furthermore, the judge seems to think that there's a way to spy on users, but only track their infringing efforts. The problem -- and the main privacy concern -- is not so much in the tracking of infringing activity, but all of the legitimate activity that gets tracked as well.
Perhaps Justice Peter Charleton should open up his own log files to the public so that we can see if he's infringing. There is, according to his version of things, no privacy violations there, because we all promise only to make sure he's not breaking copyright law.

Colonial South Carolina
This article originally appeared in "Colonial English Research" by Robert Charles Anderson, MA, FASG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Jurisdictional History The first permanent settlement within the bounds of what became South Carolina was made at Ashley, under the aegis of the Carolina proprietors. As the colony grew, three proprietary counties were erected in 1682, but these governmental units did not have any record-creating or record-keeping responsibilities.
In 1729 seven of the eight Carolina proprietors sold their rights to the Crown, and South Carolina became a royal colony. In 1769 seven judicial districts were created, and in 1772 the first courts were held outside Charleston. Despite these jurisdictional expansions, all records that might elsewhere be housed at the county level were in South Carolina housed at Charleston.
Despite the existence of counties, judicial districts, and parishes at various times in the colonial period of South Carolina, all South Carolina probate records prior to 1781 were maintained in a single repository in Charleston. Abstracts of colonial wills have been published in various places and are discussed later in this chapter. In 1977, Brent H. Holcomb published an index to inventories for the years 1746 through 1785 called Probate Records of South Carolina, Volume I: Index to Inventories, 1746'1785.<ref>Brent H. Holcomb, Probate Records of South Carolina, Volume I: Index to Inventories, 1746'1785 (Easley, S.C., 1977).</ref> (This volume does not index the first five volumes of colonial inventories, covering the years from 1736 to 1746.)
In 1960, Caroline T. Moore published three volumes of will abstracts, the first of which was for the years 1670 through 1740.<ref>Caroline T. Moore, Abstracts of the Wills of the State of South Carolina, Volume 1, 1670'1740 (Columbia, S.C., 1960).</ref> This volume brings together abstracts of documents found in twenty-two different record books of the colony, most of which are titled either 'Will Book' or 'Miscellaneous Records.' The first page of this collection contains three abstracts, taken from three different record books; in each case, these are the only wills represented as coming from these record books. On pages sixteen through eighteen are five abstracts, identified as coming from 'Will Book 1671'1727,' and these are the only will abstracts from this Will Book. Each is identified as being taken from a transcript made in 1851, with page references (presumably to the original volume) of 2, 3, 73, 187, and 189. Clearly, far more wills were included in these original will volumes than have made their way into this modern compilation.
In 1978, Caroline T. Moore published an additional volume of record abstracts, this time from the records of the secretary of the province.<ref>Caroline T. Moore, Records of the Secretary of the Province of South Carolina, 1692'1721 (Columbia, S.C., 1978).</ref> This book contains abstracts of records from six record books, identified by the inclusive dates of the records contained therein, along with some miscellaneous loose papers. The first volume from which abstracts were made, described as 'Book 1700'1710,' includes abstracts of wills, which were also published in the volume discussed in the previous paragraph, and noted there as having been taken from 'Will Book 1687'1710.' For example, in both of these sets of abstracts, the first two wills are for John Crosse and his widow Mary Crosse. The abstracts represented as taken from the records of the secretary of the province have more than just the wills abstracted in the earlier volume; there are also many letters of administration, nuncupative wills, and other types of probate records.
Researchers who use these various will abstracts and other probate materials must be wary of the exact source of each document and the nature of the particular copy or version being presented.
Case Studies
GeLee Corley Hendrix, 'Going beyond the Database. Interpretation, Amplification, and Development of Evidence: South Carolina's COM Index and Several James Kelleys,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 86 (1998): 116'33. Hendrix explores a modern computerized index to a wide array of colonial South Carolina records. This index provides easy access to, among other sources, the comprehensive collection of colonial South Carolina land grants. The author examines both the value of this index and the pitfalls awaiting those who use the index without taking care to look for errors and omissions in its creation.
John Anderson Brayton, 'Hardy of South Carolina'A 'Discreet' Omission to Hide an Indiscretion,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 90 (2002): 69'71. The author compares the full text of a colonial will with the modern published abstract, demonstrating the deficiency of the latter.

About our sacred texts
The British Library is one of the world's great treasure-houses for the study of all religions.
Our holdings include important collections of the sacred texts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and Zoroastrianism. They range from some of the best-known and most beautiful handwritten copies (manuscripts) of the scriptures of various religions to a very extensive collection of printed editions, both early and modern.
Items include one of the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible from the 10th century; and some beautifully illustrated examples, especially from Spain and Portugal in the 14th and 15th centuries; scrolls of the Book of Esther read during the Jewish Spring Festival of Purim; Haggadot manuscripts, such as the sumptuously decorated Golden Haggadah and the Barcelona Haggadah, read in Jewish homes on Passover Eve; and many early printed editions such as the copy of the Babylonian Talmud printed at Venice 1520-23 that once belonged to King Henry VIII.
Among the texts are the earliest known manuscript of the complete Greek New
Testament (Codex
Sinaiticus, fourth century); one of the three earliest manuscripts
of the complete Greek Bible (Codex
Alexandrinus, fifth century); and the seventh-century masterpiece
of Anglo-Saxon art, the Lindisfarne
Gospels. The printed books include the Gutenberg
Bible (Mainz, 1454-55), one of only two copies of the earliest English
translation of the Bible by William
Tyndale (Worms, 1526) as well as the King
James Bible of 1611, otherwise known as the Authorised Version.
Eastern Orthodox Christianity
The various national churches comprising Eastern Orthodox Christianity are also well covered, including Russian, Bulgarian (with the beautifully illustrated Gospels of Tsar Ivan Alexander from the 14th century), Armenian, Georgian, Coptic, Syrian, Nubian, and from the Ethiopian Church, beside Gospels and Psalm Books, favourite texts such as the Miracles of Mary. The Ethiopian scriptures also hold significance for the Rastafarian community.
Items include over 300 manuscripts of the Holy Qur'an from all parts of the Muslim world from Spain to China, including one of the oldest surviving copies in the world (from Mecca or Medina, eighth century); as well as commentaries, works on recitation and other Qur'anic sciences, a very large collection of Hadith manuscripts containing the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, and a comprehensive collection of Islamic law texts.
The earliest manuscript of the Rgveda to reach Europe in 1789, copies of the Bhagavadgita, and beautifully illustrated examples of more popular texts such as the Bhagavatapurana containing the life of Krishna and the Ramayana telling the story of Rama and Sita, and many other famous sacred texts such as the Gitagovinda ('The Song of the Cowherd') in praise of Krishna and the Devimahatmya. There are translations of works from Sanskrit into all the modern Indian languages, such as Tulsi Das' Hindi Ramayana, the Ramcaritmanas ('The Lake of the Acts of Rama'), and the works of other devotional poets such as the Tamil Alvars, and Sur Das and Mira Bai.
A unique collection for tracing the spread of Buddhism beyond its Indian homeland along both the Northern (Mahayana) route to Tibet, China, Korea and Japan, and the Southern (Hinayana) route to Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, etc. Among the great Buddhist treasures are the earliest surviving Buddhist manuscripts in the world, the first-century Kharosthi scrolls from ancient Gandhara (modern Afghanistan), the Chinese translation of the Diamond Sutra dated 868 (the earliest dated printed document in the world), the Hyakumanto-dharani ('One Million Pagoda Prayers)' of the eighth-century Empress Shotoku from Japan. From Tibet important copies of the Kanjur and Tanjur canons, and from India itself 12th-century beautifully-illustrated manuscripts from Bengal and Bihar of the Astasahasrika-prajnaparamita ('The Perfection of Wisdom').
The oldest, though incomplete, copy of the Guru Granth Sahib (the Adi Granth or 'First Book') to be found outside India and one of the 20 earliest manuscripts known, as well as copies of the Dasam Granth ('Tenth Book') of Guru Gobind Singh and the Janam Sakhis telling the life-stories of Baba Nanak. Early and modern printed editions of the Sikh scriptures are also held.
Many copies of the scriptural works known as Angas, the Kalpasutra ('Book of the Ritual') on the lives of Mahavira and the other founders of Jainism, including many illustrated copies from the 15th century onwards, and stories of Jain heroes. Works of both the Shvetambara and the Digambara sects are represented, but the Digambara literature is far smaller in extent.
For Zoroastrianism (also known as Parsism after those who fled from Iran to India) the oldest surviving copy of the most sacred prayer, the Ashem vohu, in the now dead language Sogdian from the ninth century; a copy of the law book Videvdad completed in 1323 and one of the four earliest known manuscripts in Avestan (the language of the founder Zoroaster); and many other Avestan scriptures dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries, together with other texts in Pahlavi (the languages of Sassanian Iran), Gujarati, and Persian. The Library also has the only known copy of the first Parsee work printed in India, the Khordeh Avesta (Bombay, 1798).
The British Library is also a wonderful source of information for less well-known religions and spiritual belief systems - some that have died out, some that are less formalised, or more localised, than the major world religions, and some that have fewer adherents today or which have completely died out. These include Bahaism, founded by Baha' Allah in 19th-century Iran, of which the Library holds over 100 documents in Persian and Arabic, some recently donated; the pre-Buddhist religions of Tibet and Japan, known as Bon-Po and Shinto; Taoism (Daoism) from China with its texts the Tao-te Ching and the Chuang-tzu; Confucianism, now best known for the I-Ching ('The Book of Changes'); Manichaeism which originated in early Iran; Nestorianism, including a 15th-century manuscript from Iraq and copies of inscriptions from Central Asia; and the wide variety of forms of African traditional spirituality.

We've already received some great entries in our Scattante Stories Giveaway, but we thought we'd inspire the rest of you proud Scattante riders out there to enter the contest by sharing a story from one of our own. Read on below to hear about Eric's tale of pisco sours, the Inca Trail, and his Scattante XRL Cross (but don't worry, Eric can't win since he works here!)
To learn more about the awesome prize package for our Scattante Stories Giveaway, get the details here.
In 2007 I travelled to Peru with a friend who is from Lima. My trusty Scattante XRL Cross made the trip with me. I arrived in Lima two days before the bike since the airline first sent it to Medellin and then Bogota, which cut into our ride time. We spent a couple of days riding around Lima hitting ceviche restaurants and drinking pisco sours. The traffic in Lima is terrifying and I wouldn't have attempted it without a local, or the pisco sours! After that we headed out of Lima and into the Andean foothills, where we met an Indian woman and her young daughter selling jewelry made with nuts and seeds from the rain forest.
I actually rode a section of the Inca Trail, along with countless miles of empty dirt roads. My friend Alaine showed me some of his favorite mountain bike trails. It was all beautiful side-hill single track: smooth, flowing and perfect for the 'cross bikes. I look forward to returning next year, but this time I'll bring along my Scattante Titanium Cross bike.
Now does your Scattante Story have to be a travel adventure like Eric's? Not at all! Just send us your own personal Scattante Story and, who knows, maybe you'll be our grand prize winner!

Jan. 10, 2009
BOSTON, Mass. - Surprise starter Billy Blase stopped 32 of 34 shots and Brian O'Neill scored twice as the Yale men's hockey team raced past Harvard 6-2 at Bright Hockey Center.
Yale (11-4, 6-2 ECAC Hockey), winners of four straight, got goals from five different skaters to win for just the third time in 29 years of playing the Crimson at Bright.
Blase, replacing an ill Alec Richards in net, made numerous quality stops and frustrated the Harvard forwards while blanking the home team on all six man-advantages.
"I was really focused tonight and I really wanted to win so badly," said Blase, who had his most saves since a playoff game at Princeton last March. "There was a lot of traffic on some of the shots, but I was able to see through the screens and find the pucks."
Jimmy Fraser scored both goals for Harvard (4-11-3, 4-6-3), which was outshot 38-34 and used a pair of goalies, Matt Hoyle (17 saves) and John Riley (15).
There was no letdown in the Bulldogs after beating No. 15 Dartmouth at Hanover last night. Yale outshot Harvard 16-13 in the first period and goals by Jeff Anderson, O'Neill and Pat Brosnihan gave the visitors a 3-0 lead at the first intermission.
Anderson one-timed a pass by Brendan Mason from behind the net just 1:47 into the game. Anderson (1st goal) was parked in the slot when the pass came out to his forehand. The sophomore winger put back the pass low inside the left post to make it 1-0.
Yale made it 2-0 at the 6:00 mark on a beautiful long pass from freshman blueliner Kevin Peel. He scooped up a lose puck behind his own net and whizzed out into the slot before spotting a streaking teammate at mid ice. Peel sent a lead pass to O'Neill (5th) who skated in ahead of two defenders and wristed a rising shot off Hoyle's water bottle.
Denny Kearney's work in the offensive end produced the game's third tally at 9:08. The sophomore winger was on the goal line extended and flipped a pass toward the front of the goal that Brosnihan (2nd) re-directed past Hoyle.
The start of the second period brought some hope and momentum for the home team. Harvard controlled play and Fraser's one-timer from a behind-the-net feed made it 3-1 at 4:52. But that shift in momentum was brief. The Bulldogs (13-8 advantage in shots) turned on the turbo engines and used their team speed to dominate the rest of the frame.
Yale's first power-play goal of the weekend was a big one. Tom Dignard's (2nd) sniper wrister went inside the far post at 12:22. Kearney sent the pass to his blueliner, who was camped in the right circle.
The speed difference and an aggressive forecheck produced a four-goal advantage for the Blue. Sean Backman stole the puck low in the Harvard end and quickly turned to find Mark Arcobello (8th) waiting for a pass in the slot. Arcobello sent a lazer into the upper left corner of the net.
Yale continued to pour it on. Arcobello broke through two defenders to win a loose puck heading toward the Harvard net and then flipped it toward the net where O'Neill re-directed it past Riley at 15:56 for a 6-1 lead.
The Bulldogs are back in action next weekend at Ingalls Rink when Clarkson and St. Lawrence come to New Haven.
Notes: The Bulldogs have been using all three goalies this season, but sophomore Ryan Rondeau may have earned a crack at Dartmouth and Harvard had he not been injured late this week. After Alec Richards stopped 29 of 30 Dartmouth shots last night, the senior goalie was the natural choice to get the nod at Boston until he got sick Saturday morning. Billy Blase made his first start since the Dec. 6 Union game at the Whale... Heading into tonight's game, Yale had won three straight games by one goal and was 6-1 in one-goal decisions.
