Gary Jobson
"If you were doing the football, there's always a sport where you compare the Peyton Manning's of today and who did he equate to in the past. So I would take an America's Cup skipper, who would I equate you to in the past? And I have read quite a bit about the America's Cup. Have you heard of the name Charlie Barr?"
Jimmy Spithill
"So Charlie Barr was fearless and had very radical boats to sail, particularly with Reliance in 1903. And Nathanael Greene Herreshoff made the boat as radical and threw as much sail area and was the longest boat to sail in the Cup because he knew Charlie Barr was the one guy in the world to handle it. I think you are kind of the Charlie Barr of our era after what you did. Are you contemplating any Olympic campaigns? You haven't done an Olympic program I don't think."
"No, didn't really have the opportunity as a kid. It's obviously one thing that is…that our sport is probably one drawback is that it is quite expensive. So it does take some resource to get it out there and that's something I think whether it's yacht clubs or sailing associations, I think that I'm really pushing for hard is to have programs where kids don't have to own a boat. So they can still come in and race. It's cheap. They can get out there even if it's on a weekend or something and learn the sport of sailing and be competitive. And then if they really want it, then they'll get there eventually.
"I've always enjoyed the team dynamic in sailing. I got into match racing really because you didn't have to own a boat. It was a team of you. I'd love to do the Olympics. I've just got so much respect for those guys. Standing behind me I had Tom Slingsby. JK was obviously successful. And Ben Ainslie, man, I used to say to those guys do not wear those medals out here because one, it will be incredibly noisy and there would just be so much weight in the back of the boat. I guess we'd never nose dive. The racing is fantastic.
"Right now, once you sail a boat like we've just sailed and with a team, I guess my life is all about the America's Cup. I love it. I love the team thing. I found that if you try and do everything you kind of do nothing well. So if I'm going to try and have a go of it I'll just go 110% and that's it. Especially, I think, if you're skippering a team. You really need to be 110% fighters with your teammates. Who knows down the track. I'd love to.
"I'd also like to see some high performance boats get involved in the games. I think the foils and stuff like that are the future. It's a lot of fun. But it is tough and it is athletic. So it would be great to see that get out there and I think that would probably get more people watching Olympic Sailing."
"So future America's Cup, I notice that the Challenger of Record is from some country called Australia. Would you sail for them?"
"It's not a secret to anyone that you always have a big dream to one day skipper your own winning team from the country you are from. For me, what I've learned in this campaigns is that a team is about its people and who you get involved. I've been involved in teams where you've had the majority of the team, let's say, Kiwi or Aussie or whatever it is. I actually found that not to be the most…not always to lead you the right way. In Australia we sort of have a certain way of thinking. Kiwis have a certain way. Americans. Spanish, French, whatever. But when you get the combination of just good guys with great attitudes, egos but they come from different backgrounds and a lot of the times different cultures. You actually get a pretty creative way of making decisions and really solving problems and compromising and how you sort of eventually work your way through this path to hopefully winning the Cup. And that's what I've enjoyed. So, for me, I'm competitive. I want to win. But I want to do it with people that I've just worked with.
"For instance, there's no ego. It's not about them it's about the team and it about getting the result and doing it together. I think there are a lot of great teams out there. I think it is great to see Australia back in the game. Obviously Australia has been successful, most recently at the Olympics. All the guys are involved on different teams but there's also a lot of other great nationalities out there as well who have a high level. For me, since we've won the race I've been on a bit of sort of whirlwind kind of media sponsored tour. Hadn't really had a whole lot of time to reflect on everything. I think it will take some time for it to sink in for everyone on our team of what they really just pulled off. But there are no two ways about it. I love this game.
"I've been very proud and honored to be part of the team representing America. Australians have a real affiliation with America dating back to the World Wars and sort of us looking after each other. But the thing I love about America is I look at Larry Ellison and here's someone who came from nothing as a kid. Self made. Worked his way up and just goes to show that you don't get judged in America if you're someone that wants to work hard. You're a good person, especially in a team sport or in his life the business world, well it's there for the taking. I think it is an amazing place to live."
"So collective wisdom counts. At the press conference I noticed that somebody had pointed out to you that congratulations, you'd won 13 races in the America's Cup. But one of your teammates had to remind you that maybe they had won more?"
"Russell Coutts, as soon as I'd come ashore, came up to me and we were celebrating. He goes come over here I want to talk to you. I thought oh what have I done wrong this time? He goes hey listen before you go getting a big head, you've won 13 of these races and I've won 14."
"And just to add to the equations I spoke at the Herreshoff Marine Museum on Sunday night and Halsey Herreshoff, now 80 years old, told me about how you'd won 13 and how Russell had kind of chided you with the 14th. But he's won 15 as a bowman, as a jib trimmer and as a navigator which is kind of cool. If you're going to do an Olympic campaign, you'd better hurry if you're going to catch up to Sir Ben Ainslie with his record in the Olympics. Will we see you back at the helm of an America's Cup boat?"
"I love the Cup. That's really my dream of what I love about it. Ben Ainslie is the most successful sailor ever in the Olympics. You look at what he's done Games after Games and certainly in that past Games in London. Really, for me, one of the highlights of this past…the answer is yes. I will be. This is what I want to do. I want to be involved in the Cup. Certainly you come away from those campaigns with memories and obviously the capsize was one and a couple others. But another one was the tragedy that happened with Andrew Simpson. And seeing two of the world's best sailors, how they react. Ian Percy and Ben Ainslie who were both best mates with him. To see them first hand how they dealt with it, how they dealt with their teams, they dealt with Andrew's family. But then the fact that they got back onboard an AC72 in that Bay after what they went through because they knew how much it meant for their teams and their teammates, was one of the most inspirational things I've ever seen. That sort of memory, that's one of the key ones I'll take. And it really says a lot about those guys like that. And obviously there are a lot of other guys but really those two were the guys that were in those high pressure roles. No one would have blamed them if they thought hey this isn't for me. I'm just going to step out now. But they didn't. It's pretty obvious why they're champions. That was a key memory that I'll certainly take away from this one."
"I think everybody in San Francisco was hoping that Artemis Racing would have won one of those races there against Luna Rossa but it was pretty good seeing them get out on the water and get going again."
"When you look at the team, they were, by far, the fastest learning. They just had days to figure our foils, or foil while jibing. It took us a long time, Team New Zealand, Luna Rossa, those guys, for sure, just accelerated the learning curve. Going forward they are going to be a very strong team. The interest that is out there as well for new teams and different countries getting involved in the game is incredible. It's a very exciting time now to be involved and commercially inside this sport.
"Before this campaign for Russell and the guys, it was hard to even get in and speak to a TV network. Now, after what they've seen and obviously Gary and all the commentators were involved in this and a part of it, they've got something like wow, this works. This is great. So that's a great place to be for sailing because who thought we would ever be up there like that."
"So we have a little Australian in our family. Our twin daughters, Ashleigh and Brooke, were born in Fremantle during the Cup back in 1987. Last night Brooke delivered a son so we will keep that chain going. Very cool."
"Does he have red hair?"
"He doesn't have any hair at all."
"You may have dodged a bullet."
"We'll see. I can guarantee he's going to get to do some sailing. Jimmy you are very gracious with your time and I watched very closely everything you did all summer long. I had a unique seat, I was out on the Race Committee boat. And the truth is, I wasn't really sure if that was going to be a good seat. The other commentators got the good mics and my tech things, are they going to work okay? But as it turned out, I was in a pretty darn good seat too. The only journalist to be out on the racecourse seeing you every morning and Dean and the other guys as you came alongside. It was riveting.
"In the world of sports and the reason why NBC and ESPN and others right now, to have the microphone on you guys, and to hear you in battle with the highs and the lows, and you had some real high moments and you had some real low moments out there, was compelling. We could feel your pain as Bill Clinton once said. At one point I felt like John Glenn on the launch pad, are we ever going to finish this America's Cup. And it had never gone 19 races over 19 days and it just got bigger and better and more exciting. And one of the great moments, I came out after the last race out of the Media Center there and some guy from Wisconsin, hey Gary how are you doing. Hey because of you guys I just bought a boat. I never sailed before. And I thought okay we've done our job here. We're getting more people into the sport of sailing. And I wrote some reports every day during the races which I want you to read. You can throw darts at me occasionally and other times oh that was good. But one of the things I wrote based on all this watching all summer long, I was convinced it was going to be a great America's Cup. I said hey world, watch what is going to happen here. This is going to be special. And that was tough to say because we hadn't seen a lot of great races at that point. And I went through my analysis of what would happen and any way my prediction at the end was, in the end, Oracle Team USA defends…barely. I didn't know how barely but thank you very much. Let's give Jimmy Spithill a big hand."

Messages of peace prevail during relocation of the Peace Pillar
The University of Nairobi Free Travelling Theatre lead the relocation of the Peace Pillar with with song and dance.
'Peace will not prevail because Kenya has a new constitution. Peace is a perception of the heart and of the mind. It is your perception of each other.'
These are the words echoed by Dr. Eddah Gachukia, one of Kenya's longest serving and respected educationist, during the relocation ceremony of the White Peace Pillar from Kongi's Square to the Great Court, outside Education Building, Main Campus. The Peace Pillar was planted in 1985 by delegates during the 3rd United Nations Decade Conference for Women held in Nairobi as a symbolic reminder of the need to be peaceful. The Peace Pillar was being relocated to pave way for the commencement of construction of the proposed university towers.
During the ceremony, organized by the African Women's Studies Centre and the Department of Literature, guests were taken through the journey that culminated into the Forum 85 in Kenya that hosted over 4,000 women from all over the world. The Conference which was held at the University of Nairobi was given the mandate to seek new ways to overcome the obstacles to achieving the decade's goals which were equality, development and peace. At that time, Dr. Gachukia was the Head of the Department of Literature and the Chairperson of the Women's forum in Nairobi.
The University of Nairobi Free Travelling Theatre entertained guests with song and dance as the Pillar was being relocated and planted at the Great Court. Kongi Square has been set aside as the site for the proposed University Towers.
May Peace prevail on Earth!
Dr. Eddah Gachukia plants the pillar in its new location at the Great Court, outside Education Building, Main Campus.

The "1 additional troop for every 4 territories with a minimum of 4 troops" doesn't trigger. Myself and my partner went for that bonus early in the game but it has never triggered. If this is not a real bonus then it should be removed as it is a distraction.
Other than that this is a really beautiful map and very fun to play
2011-08-17 07:12:16 - DivineRight received 4 troops for 7 regions
natty_dread wrote:You're getting the bonus already.2011-08-17 07:12:16 - DivineRight received 4 troops for 7 regions
That's 4 troops for 7 regions, as it says minimum is 4. When you get to 20 regions, you'll get +5.
natty_dread wrote:Um, no. When you have 20 regions, you'll get 5. It works the same way as the regular territory bonus, only it's 1 for 4 instead of 1 for 3 and the minimum is 4 instead of 3.
Would be cool with a feature like that! Though I already thought it existed !DiM wrote:when i first saw your complaint i thought "wow i've been expecting for such a xml update for so long. receiving a bonus that takes into consideration the amount of troops on a terit is wonderful, i'd better use this on one of my maps"
then natty came and explained the problem and my dreams went down the drain.
DiM wrote:unfortunately the way that's worded on the map really makes you think you need 4 terits with 4 troops on them
ChristoListo wrote:Ok, the way it is currently worded: "One troop for every four territories with a minimum of four troops" is VERY misleading. I played a game where I was trying to get 4 troops on all my territories so I could get the bonus troops. Get it? It makes it sound like for every four territories that you have at least four troops on you get an additional troop!
Chriserenity wrote:I sill dont get it. If you have 4 terits you get a plus 1 bonus then another plus 1 bonus when you have 20??

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
This is a scalable context timeline. It contains events related to the event February 2004: Apparent Human Rights Organization Compiles List of Violators Using Dubious Tips. You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
Comite des Avocats pour le Respect des Libertes Individuelles (CARLI), a Haitian "human rights" organization, compiles a list with the names of about 85 alleged human rights violators, all of which belong to either the Lavalas party or to the Haitian National Police. The names come from phone calls made to their "hotline" and possibly from other leads as well. CARLI issues leaflets containing the names to the public, calling for their arrest. The leaflets—published only in French, not Creole—are also given to the US embassy and USAID, which sponsors the hotline program. It is unclear whether or not CARLI—whose staff consists of only two volunteer lawyers—investigates and confirms the allegations before it publicizes the names of the condemned (see February 29, 2004). The accused are never contacted to respond to the charges. People named on the list flee their homes and go into hiding, fearing that the rebel paramilitary groups will come after them. They later tell a National Lawyers Guild human rights delegation that they were not guilty of the charges and that the list had been used as a political ploy by the opposition to instill fear. The delegation also interviews CARLI's two lawyers and uncovers strong evidence suggesting that the organization is a tool of the opposition (see February 29, 2004). [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ]

Haitian police abandon their posts in Le Cayes, Haiti, and flee approaching paramilitary rebel forces. 30-year-old "Ti Gary" steps in to fill the power vacuum, making himself the town's law enforcer. He will order at least 5 public extra-judiciary executions. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ]

Forty to sixty bodies are moved from the roadside near the Piste D'Aviation (see March 22, 2004) to a
remote field a quarter-mile away and burned. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ; Democracy Now!, 4/12/2004 Sources: Unnamed witnesses interviewed by a National Lawyers Guild human rights delegation] A National Lawyers Guild human rights delegation (see March 29, 2004-April 5, 2004) investigating the incident observes a "massive ash pile, and pigs eating flesh of human bones that had not burned at Piste D'Aviation." The delegation photographs "fresh skulls and other human bones, some still tangled in clothes or with shoes and sneakers nearby." The fuel for the fire had been transported in containers marked "Haitian currency." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] The photographs are later shown on the April 12 program of Democracy Now!. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ; Democracy Now!, 4/12/2004]

A National Lawyers Guild Human Rights delegation, consisting of two lawyers and a journalist, travels to Haiti to investigate the various aspects of the human rights and security conditions in Port-au-Prince, Petit Goave, Gran Goave, Les Cayes, and Fond des Blancs, a remote village in the Southwest Department. After concluding its work, the delegation issues a preliminary report on April 11 which states: "[T]he delegation found overwhelming evidence that the victims of the threats and violence have been supporters of the elected government of President Aristide and the Fanmi Lavalas party, elected and appointed officials in that government or party, or employees of the government, including police. Many are in hiding in the mountains or in Port-au-Prince, others have been beaten and or killed. Many of their homes have been selectively destroyed, mostly by arson." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ]

A National Lawyers Guild human rights delegation visits the offices of two Haitian "human rights" organizations, Comite des Avocats pour le Respect des Libertes Individuelles (CARLI) and National Committee for Haitian Rights (NCHR). During the visits, the delegation's members become convinced that the two organizations are working with the opposition. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] Comite des Avocats pour le Respect des Libertes Individuelles (CARLI) - In the case of CARLI—which publishes lists of alleged human rights organizations, which it disperses to the public, the police, other government agencies, USAID, and the US Embassy—there are several factors which cause suspicion among the delegation's members: [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] Though the group insists that it thoroughly investigates "each of the 60 to 100 monthly calls and verifies all information beyond a reasonable doubt before publicly condemning a person by naming him/her," CARLI "has no full time staff"—only two volunteer lawyers. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "Hotline" forms completed by the group include terms like "a supporter of the
dictator Aristide." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] The delegation finds "no evidence that CARLI conducts any investigation before condemning the named person." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "The person 'condemned' to the list is never contacted to answer to the allegations." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] The lists have contained only Lavalas supporters. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] The leaflets dispersed to the public are written only in French, which is spoken and understood mainly by the educated elite. Most Haitians speak Creole. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] CARLI has never investigated cases involving Lavalas victims. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "CARLI was asked if it would consider ceasing the publication of the 'list' because it was forcing innocent people into hiding and to fear for their lives, preventing people from returning to their jobs and schools,and, as a non-judicial forum, was creating the possibility of a extra-judicial execution squads, and non-judicial arrest warrants. CARLI refused." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] National Committee for Haitian Rights (NCHR) - The well-funded NCHR claims to represent victims of human rights abuses, regardless of their political affiliation. But the organization demonstrates an obvious bias in favor of the opposition. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] The NCHR cannot name even one incident where a Lavalas supporter was a victim of a human rights abuse. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "NCHR took the delegation into a large meeting room where the wall was adorned with a large 'wanted' poster featuring Aristide and his cabinet, in small photos, across the top. It named Aristide a 'dictator' guilty of human rights abuses. Among a long list of other charges, it condemned him for the murder of John Dominique and included a large photo of Dominique's dead body. The poster calls for the arrest and imprisonment of Aristide and his associates." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "The Delegation suggested that NCHR's neutrality and inclusiveness might be better expressed with additional posters condemning, for example, FRAPH, Jodel Chamblain, Jean 'Tatoune' Baptiste, Ti Kenley, etc. While the Director and the staff acknowledged the existence of all of those named, they laughed at the suggestion of adding other wanted posters to the office." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] Many of the newsletters, "open letters," and advisories that were in the NCHR waiting room refer to Aristide as a "dictator." None of the literature addresses abuses against supporters of Aristide. [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "NCHR was asked if they would investigate the 1000 bodies dumped and buried by the morgue during the last few weeks at Titanye (see March 7, 2004)
(see March 28, 2004), and the alleged malfunctioning of the refrigeration at the morgue. The director and his staff denied ever knowing about these events, laughed, and said none of it was true." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ] "NCHR was asked if it would investigate the dumped bodies at Piste D'Aviation (see March 22, 2004)
(see March 23, 2004). The director and his staff laughed and denied that it was true. The Delegation then showed NCHR the photographs we had taken of the ashes and fresh human skeletons. In response, the NCHR director told us that the General Hospital routinely dumps bodies at the Piste D'Aviation." [Griffin, 4/11/2004 ]

Get ready, #TeamBlackBerry! Some of your favorite apps are about to become BBM™ connected and join the list of the over 800 BBM connected applications available on the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. We are very excited to announce that updates of some of the apps you know and love – Facebook® for BlackBerry smartphones, Twitter® for BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry® Travel™, BlackBerry App World, BBM™ Music, and BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM) – will begin to roll out throughout the next 10 days. (Note: BBM connected apps may not be available in all countries.)
For those who are not aware, BBM connected applications integrate BBM functionality right into the app, so you can do things like invite BBM friends to experience your favorite apps, chat with BBM contacts from inside the BBM connected app, and share and discover new BlackBerry apps and content with friends – without ever leaving the app!
These applications have a whole new slew of features that make your BlackBerry smartphone experience even better. Let's have a look:
BBM gets BlackBerry Tag functions and new animated avatars!
BBM is being upgraded to be better than ever with BlackBerry® Tag integration*, the ability to send voice notes quicker, a simpler way to update your profile message, and new app integrations.
To add to all of this, BBM v6.2 now offers a sample of all new animated avatars! When you're logged into BBM, just scroll over the animated avatars to see what they do, then share them with friends to express how you're feeling when words alone just aren't enough.
*BlackBerry Tag requires an NFC-enabled BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry® 7.1 OS or higher.
Integration of Facebook and Twitter with BBM
Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones v3.0 and Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones v3.0 are now BBM connected apps. When you connect Facebook and Twitter with BBM, you can share your latest status updates and tweets as your BBM Personal Message by simply selecting the "Share with BBM" icon from within the app. You can also opt to share tweets or Facebook updates with your BBM contacts in one centralized location.
BlackBerry Travel goes Social
The updated BlackBerry Travel v2.5* is now a BBM connected app. What does that mean to you? Now you can instantly update BBM contacts with your travel status in just a few simple steps. Jet-setting across the world? You can easily let all your BBM friends know just where you landed and what you're up to.
*The BlackBerry Travel application requires activation with a data plan with Internet service. Certain features of the BlackBerry Travel application may not be available for all geographic locations or from all service providers. Check with your service provider for availability, cost and restrictions.
BlackBerry App World
Now that the BlackBerry App World storefront is BBM connected, your most recent app download can be automatically shared with your contacts through your BBM profile – without ever having to leave BlackBerry App World! Also, you can easily share your favorite app with a friend using BlackBerry Tag* by simply tapping your NFC-enabled BlackBerry smartphone with theirs.
*NFC technology is dependent on carrier and device capabilities.
Easy Invites for BBM Music
BBM Music – the music app that lets you share, listen, and comment on your friends' music – now also allows you to mark favorite songs/playlists, which creates a more personalized shuffle.
Since BBM Music is a BBM connected app, new contacts with BBM Music are recommended to you right from within the BBM Music app itself! That means it's easier to find others to connect with so you can expand your music collection. Before you accept a contact to your network, feel free to check out their songs and see which friends you have in common.
These updates are great news for developers who leverage the BBM Social Platform to help make their apps more visible and easier to find. It's even better news for BBM users who are seeking to discover and share new app experiences and content within their BBM contacts.

As 2013 comes to a close, I'd like to step back and reflect on what I've learned over the past year. So in my best David Letterman voice, I bring you my third annual Top 10 genealogical finds of 2013.
Number 10: I finally subscribed to newspapers.com. I don't know why I'd hesitated all this time but I finally signed up for an annual subscription. I decided that since I'd think nothing of paying $40 for a sweater and since this was going to provide me with an entire year of fun, I'd forego one sweater and see what I could find. And boy am I happy I pulled the trigger as many of my top 10 finds are a direct result of newspapers.com.
Number 9: Louis Schwartz had siblings! Louis has been a bit of a brick wall for me but this year I learned that Louis, indeed, was not alone in the world and had at least a brother and a sister. Here's what I found (thanks to newspaper.com) in the Santa Cruz Weekly Sentinel:
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 19 Feb 1881
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 2 June 1893
Number 8: I learned Dena Steen's cause of death! About 18 months ago I connected with a Steen descendent, thanks to my blog, and we've kept in touch since. Earlier this year, I wrote about Dena Steen, who was the younger sister of my 2nd great grandmother, Rebecca Steen Schwartz, wondering what caused her death at the age of 28. I thought maybe her death was due to an accident but wasn't quite sure how to find out more but my new Steen connection was able to learn that her death was caused by pericarditis. Once again, blogging solved a mystery! Thanks again, Ben.
Hills of Eternity Cemetery, Colma, California
Number 7: This is late breaking news! I finally got up my nerve and sent a letter to the current owners of the Louis Schwartz house in Santa Cruz, which I wrote a little about here. I mailed the letter a few days before Christmas and quickly forgot about it with all of the activities. Imagine my surprise when I opened my e-mail the day after Christmas to find a message from the owner! I've given him some digital photos of the house from the 1880's and he, in turn, shared an album with me of the home's exterior being painted this past summer. He also told me that the little art studio that was built for Birdie is no longer there. I'm thrilled to have this new connection.
Number 6: Thanks to my new subscription at newspapers.com, I was able to learn more about Louis Schwartz' death in 1893. I knew he died in Byron Springs but had been unable to get a death certificate to help me learn more about the cause of death. But after finding some articles in the Santa Cruz Sentinel, I learned that Louis died from Bright's Disease, which is now known as kidney disease. I knew Louis was quite influential but what a gift to learn so much about him at his death.
Santa Cruz Sentinel 24 May 1893
The flags were at half staff!
Santa Cruz Sentinel 27 May 1893
Number 5: I wrote last year about finding Joseph Steen's grave in the same cemetery where my dad, and now mom, are interred. I was so happy to know where he was. But imagine my surprise when I found, again in newspapers.com, a record of his death.
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 4 Aug 1866
Number 4: I found another cousin - this time it was through a connection on ancestry.com. Her grandfather, Joseph Fitzgerald, was the younger brother of my great grandfather, Edward Fitzgerald. We've had fun sharing information and photos and I've learned so much from her. For someone with such a small family, it is a thrill to add new members to the mix. Welcome to my family, Patti!
Number 3: Back to Louis Schwartz. I knew that Louis had been a neighbor of his future wife (and my 2nd great grandmother), Rebecca Steen, and I knew that they were married in 1865. But what fun to read all about their 25th wedding anniversary celebration in the 16 October 1890 edition of the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
And I think I also have the sugar bowl and cream pitcher given to them by Mr. and Mrs. H. Loobliner from San Luis Obispo. I've read about Louis' many business adventures and there is reference to a business he sold to Henry Loobliner, "a cousin". I've spent a little time trying to connect the dots between Henry and Louis but I haven't run across anything that truly connects them together. Yet. But I do have the silver sugar and creamer set engraved with LS, 1865-1890, October 15.
Number 2: Finding the death notice for one of my favorite ancestors, Emery Waller, was worth the cost of the annual subscription I purchased to newspapers.com. I've written a lot about my quest to find Emery's final resting place and, ultimately, getting his grave marked (click here to read the final installment) but through all of that, I was never 100% certain of his date of death. But when I found his death notice in the Hutchison (Kansas) News from 23 December 1890, I now know that Emery's died on 21 December 1890 from heart disease. Somewhere early in my research I found that death date but stupidly never sourced where I'd seen the information so finally – FINALLY – I know his date of death. RIP, Emery.
Number 1: Losing my mother this year has been tough and cleaning out the home she and my dad shared for over 55 years was something we'd always dreaded. But now that it's over and I've had some time to sort through the boxes of things I brought home, I'm thankful that they were such packrats. Pictures, slides, movies, and just about everything else imaginable was tucked away in that house. I'm not sure I'll live long enough to catalog everything but I'll give it a try. I have coveted one very special family heirloom for as many years as I can remember and now that it is hanging proudly in my home, I've named it my Number 1 genealogical find for 2013.
My parents found this pencil drawing of my paternal grandfather, Sigmund Levy, and his two older brothers, Herbert and Leon, in the basement of my grandparents' home as they were cleaning out their home of over 50 years in 1982 after my grandmother passed away. It was rolled up and left as trash. But, thankfully, my parents picked it up, had it straightened out, put it in a beautiful frame, and hung it proudly over their living room couch where it remained for 30 years. And here it is!
L-R: Sigmund(1888-1968), Herbert(1884-1952), Leon(1886-1962)
A special thanks to my brother and sister for allowing me to have this beautiful heirloom for my very own – I love it!
And that's my annual list of top genealogical finds. I can't wait to see what I'll discover in 2014.

Maine Wants Mobile Phones To Carry A Cancer Warning... Despite Lack Of Evidence; [Updated: SF Too]
from the yeah-that'll-help dept
But here's the thing: even if these warnings were put on phones, what would it do? Would people really stop using their mobile phones or make any behavioral adjustment just because of these labels? There might be a few people, but I'd imagine that those who already are sure that mobile phones cause cancer have already acted accordingly. Update: And... just like that, comes the news that San Francisco is considering the same thing.

Zarafa High Availability setup with MySQL master-slave
From Zarafa wiki
This article describes how you can create a manual High Availability system for Zarafa, MySQL and Apache. MySQL replication is used to replicate the database on the two servers.
In this whitepaper we will describe how you can create a High Availability system for Zarafa and MySQL between two servers. This HA system is based on a active-passive environment.
In this case we don't use DRBD for exact copies of both servers. Before we start to configure the HA system, you need to install on both servers Apache, Zarafa and a MTA. To monitor the servers we use the default Linux tool Heartbeat.
The Standy-server will monitor the Main server. When the main server is down for more then 30 seconds the Standy server will start Zarafa and will get the ip-address of the main server. The database is replicated continuously on both servers by the default MySQL master-slave replication.
To avoid inconsistent databases we advise you to reconfigure manually the HA environment after a failover.
Zarafa in High Availability environment
Before starting with setting up a High Availability system, make sure you have a complete backup of your Zarafa database and have some good experience with MySQL configurations. Zarafa is NOT responsible for lost data or corrupt databases.
Setup MySQL replication
In a master-slave replication environment the slave will execute all queries that are done on the master server. The master server will record all the execute queries in binary logfiles. The slave server will read these logfiles and execute the query on its own database. For an application, like Zarafa, it's not possible to do write actions of the slave server. The slave server reads the binlog files all the time. When the master server has a failure, the slave cannot connect to the master server and will no longer read the binary logfiles.
To configure MySQL for replication you need two servers both with the same MySQL version installed. First you need to configure the master server by the following steps:
- Open the my.cnf file
- Add the following to this file below the option [mysqld]:
option server_id = 1 log_bin binlog-do-db=zarafa binlog-ignore-db=mysql binlog-ignore-db=test innodb_safe_binlog (<- obsolete since MySQL 5.x)
- Restart the mysqld after you edited the my.cnf file
- Login on the mysql console mysql -u root -p mysql_password
- Execute the following command:
GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'replication'@'192.168.1.2' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
This command gives the user replication access to master server with the password secret.
- Execute the command: mysql> FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
This command will lock the databases on the master server.
- Copy the databases of the master server to the slave server, make sure the mysqld on the
slave server is not running.
cd /var/lib/mysql tar -cvf /tmp/mysql-snapshot.tar . scp /tmp/ mysql-snapshot.tar [email protected]:~
- Execute the command show master status; on the mysql prompt.
This command shows you the following output:
- Logon to the slave server
- Stop the mysql server
- Add the option server-id = 2 to the my.cnf file
- Untar the copied databases of the master server
- Start mysqld
- Login on the mysql console
- Execute the command: mysql> stop slave;
- Execute the command:
change master to -> MASTER_HOST='master_host_name', -> MASTER_USER='replication', -> MASTER_PASSWORD='secret', -> MASTER_LOG_FILE='recorded_log_file_name', -> MASTER_LOG_POS=recorded_log_position;
Replace the host, username and password by the values you used in the GRANT command at the master server.
The recorded_log_file_name should be the value from the column file of the output of the show master status; command.
The recorded_log_position should be the value form the column position of the output of the show master status; command.
- Execute the command mysql> start slave;
- Your MySQL replication should now work correctly.
You can check the status of the MySQL replication by execution the command mysql> show slave status; on the MySQL prompt.
Since it is recommended to use /var/lib/zarafa (or similar path) for your external attachments, don't forget to sync them also periodically using a command like
> rsync -abv --delete /var/lib/zarafa/ slave-system:/var/lib/zarafa/
Setup Heartbeat monitoring
Install the Heartbeat packages on both servers. In most distributions the Heartbeat are in default repository.
To use Heartbeat it's very important that the hostnames of both servers are correctly configured and available in your hosts table.
/etc/hostname -> Full servername (e.g. master.zarafa.com)
/etc/hosts -> Both servers should be available in this file
For example:
10.23.200.20 master.zarafa.com master.zarafa.com
10.23.200.10 slave.zarafa.com slave.zarafa.com
You can check your hostname via the command uname -s or hostname.
To configure Heartbeat go to the Heartbeat configuration directory /etc/ha.d. Open or create the file ha.cf and add the following lines:
debugfile /var/log/ha-debug logfile /var/log/ha-log logfacility local0 keepalive 10 deadtime 60 initdead 90 udpport 694 bcast eth1 # interface that's used for monitoring auto_failback no node master.zarafa.com # master hostname node slave.zarafa.com # slave hostname
Copy the ha.cf to your slave server and switch the last two lines, so the slave node is the first line.
Open or create the file haresources on the master and add the following line:
master.zarafa.com failover
This line will set the init-script that will be started when the master is down.
Open or create the file haresources on the slave and add the following line:
Open or create the file authkeys and add the following line:
auth 2 2 sha1 security!
Change the permissions of this file to 0600 and copy this file to the slave server.
Now you have to create the init-script that will be started when the master server is down. Below you will find a example failover script that will start the Zarafa services and take over the ip-address of the master server.
#! /bin/sh export PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}/usr/sbin:/sbin" case "$1" in start) ip addr 10.23.200.20/8 dev eth0 /etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway start /etc/init.d/zarafa-ical start /etc/init.d/zarafa-monitor start /etc/init.d/zarafa-server start /etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler start ;; # stop) /etc/init.d/networking restart /etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway stop /etc/init.d/zarafa-ical stop /etc/init.d/zarafa-monitor stop /etc/init.d/zarafa-server stop /etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler stop ;; # restart) $0 stop $0 start echo "." ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/failover {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0
Tips and hints
To start the HA cluster, we recommended to first start the master server and then the slave server. We strongly advise to start the Heartbeat monitoring manually when both servers are successfully started.
It is recommended to use exactly the same Zarafa version of both master and slave server.

NEW ORLEANS (WAFB) - The Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans announced the hatching of three endangered African Blackfooted penguin chicks.
The chicks were born in March and have already joined the penguin colony on exhibit. Visitors to the Aquarium can view the newest additions to the Audubon family at the penguin exhibit. Out-of-town penguin enthusiasts can view the penguin chicks and their parents on the Penguin Cam at Animal Planet L!VE (above live stream).
The parents of the three chicks are Voodoo and Tag, Snake and Quatloo, and Endymion and Kenickie. Endymion was the last chick born at Audubon before March.
In a news release from the Audubon Aquarium, Senior Aviculturist Darwin Long says the hatching of multiple African penguin chicks is especially significant because their numbers are decreasing by as much as 90 percent.
Audubon has raised 46 chicks since the Aquarium opened in 1990 and currently is home to 31 African Blackfooted penguins and three Southern Rockhopper penguins.
Audubon staff has been diligent in its efforts to ensure the health of the three penguin chicks. "One typically spends a 14-hour day in the early stages feeding 5 or even 6 times, cleaning, doing laundry, and preparing the next meals, all the while acclimating the bird to its surroundings and assessing health," says Long. "It really makes you appreciate the work load of an actual penguin parent in the wild."

Things just aren't going well for me. Here's why:
- My car hasn't been sold, nor traded yet. Some of this is probably my own fault, it seems I rarely have time after work to try to get people out here to look at it.
- Human Resources and Property Management told me that I absolutely may not bring my bike into the building. This includes stairwells, storage closets, my own cubicle, or the access-card-controlled elevator lobbies in the parking garage. They said that they've had similar requests in the past and if they granted me an exception, they'd have to let everyone bring their bikes into the building. What? All three of us?
- I'm just getting discouraged and impatient.
There's a Schwinn World Sport at my LBS. It's used, it's chromoly, and it's probably about as old as I am. Okay, maybe a few years younger. It's in rough shape. It's got 27" wheels, tires that are okay but not great, a nasty saddle, a rusty rear cluster and chain, missing a brake pad on the front, completely destroyed handlebar padding stuff, and it's just plain ugly. But it has a TON of potential. It fits me, it's dangerously fast but that's partially because it's unsafe at any speed without front brakes, and it is almost identical to the road bike I had when I was in middle school, except bigger.
If I got it, I'd immediately replace the saddle, chain, cables and brakes, and I'd throw clipless pedals on it and see how everything holds up. If it stays together nicely, I'd eventually want to splurge for 700c wheels, and I'd probably re-paint it, flat black or some plain color that's not attention grabbing, but not the ugly beige color that's on it right now.
We'll see. I'm going to call up there tomorrow and see what Kevin wants for it. I still need to sell my car, but I think my cash might be better used refurbishing a beater that won't get stolen.
Today, while I was at JCCC, I decided it would be awfully fun to brush up on my skills in riding down flights of concrete stairs. That's what mountain bikes are for, right? I had a lot of fun playing around. I started with little 2-3 step drops, and worked my way up to conquering this little narrow stairway with about 8 steps. No, I didn't have anything other than my helmet on for protection, and yes, I had my bookbag, MacBook and all, on me while I played around. I go down some pretty steep dirt and grass hills, so I was confident that stairs were not going to present too much of a challenge. Concrete is a little less forgiving than grass, though.
What do you think? Old road bike? fix it up? Or should I go for a newer road bike, use it less often (maybe once a week or so) and hope security keeps the hood rats and bums away from my bike?

Wabash Defense Dominates Gators, 20-3by Howard Hewitt • October 30, 2010 Share:
Wabash's Little Giants are now 7-1 or 1-0 after defeating Allegheny, depending on how you view it. Wabash's defense stifled the visiting Gators to claim a 20-3 NCAC win. The win starts the toughest three-game stretch of the season.
Since the 2010 schedule was released fans and even team members have pointed to the last three games — Allegheny, at Wittenberg, and hosting the Monon Bell Classic against DePauw — as a really tough three-game challenge.
The Little Giant defense took care of matters in game one of the closing trifecta.
"They have a great quarterback, a fifth-year senior who completes like 70 percent of his passes and they're able to run the football," Head Coach Erik Raeburn said. "I'm super proud of how hard our defensive guys played and how well our defensive coaches prepared them. For the defense to hold them to three points and get a score themselves, I thought they played tremendous."
The defense held the 5-3 Gators to 200 yards of total offense, but 80 of that came in one drive just before the half. Allegheny got its only score on that drive, a 27-yard Ryan Zipf field goal.
The Gators managed just nine first downs and mustered only 89 yards passing.
"We know who we are and all season we've known our potential," said senior linebacker Deonte Singfield, who had an interception with a TD called back because of a penalty. "It was senior day and we had fun flying around.
"We had an appreciation thing this morning for the most influential male in our lives and a lot of guys had this extra emotion because a lot of dads came out."
Singfield had six tackles along with Sam Smith, Dan Ryan Wood, and Jake Kolisek. C.J. Gum led Wabash in stops with nine. Kolisek recorded two sacks with Nick Ramsey and J.D. McClintic each getting to the quarterback as well.
"Coach (Jake) Gilbert talked all week that he wanted a shutout," Singfield said. "We gave up three, but we played lights out all day. It was a big deal today, the ability to play for each other and a lot of guys stepped up."
The defensive turnaround has come in the last three weeks after Raeburn challenged the defensive line to put more pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
"We felt like going into the season we had so many veteran guys returning that the defensive line would be a strength of our team," Raeburn explained. "We just weren't getting any pressure early in the year. We've played the run solid all year long, but just weren't getting any sacks. So a few weeks ago we really challenged them and since then we've had great pressure on the quarterback. Our defensive coaches have made some changes to try to help them generate a better pass rush."
Wabash got on the board on its first possession of the game — a Spencer Whitehead 24-yard field goal. Tyler Burke, starting his second straight game, scored on a six-yard run early in the second quarter to stake Wabash to a 10-0 lead. Allegheny got its score with just two seconds left in the half, thanks to a 15-yard Wabash roughing the passer penalty.
Whitehead added his second field goal of the game late in the third period after the teams played most of the quarter exchanging punts. The clincher came on what is fast becoming one of Wabash's best weapons, the punt block.
The Little Giants freshman Nate Scola blocked a punt with just under nine minutes to play and for the fourth time this year sophomore Jonathan Koop was there to pick it up and score. His four punt returns this year is a Wabash College record and leaves him one shy of an NCAA record.
Offensively, the Little Giants struggled at times. Gheny came in as the top-ranked rushing defense in the NCAC. Wabash gained 85 yards on the ground with Burke picking up 52 of that.
The Gators also shut down receiver Jon Horn's streak of 100-plus yard games. Freshman James Kraus stepped up to lead Wabash receivers with eight catches for 70 yards.
"They doubled Jon the whole game," Raeburn said. "They'd either roll the corner up in his face and play the safety over the top or they locked the outside backer underneath him and played the corner over the top. Obviously, we have to try to do things to keep him involved. I don't know if we need to move him around, but we have to do a better job of getting him involved because he's too good of a player to let teams double him the whole game."
Along with Whitehead's two field goals, the kicking game was solid. Punter Thomas Ballard had to kick eight times and averaged 39.4 a kick with a long of 49.
Wabash had two scores called back because of penalty. One of the two was a beautiful Dan Ryan Wood punt return negated by a block in the back call. The other call particularly irked Raeburn after Singfield's interception and score. The official called Wabash for unnecessary roughness against a defenseless player.
Burke hit on 21-of-34 passes for 168 yards in his second start. Afterwards, the junior quarterback agreed he was beginning to find a comfort zone. "Yes definitely, they have a very tough defense, very," the Kalamazoo, MI., native said. "This week we knew they'd come out with more pressure and they were going to hit hard. I was getting hit on almost every play but I'm starting to trust my line more. I'm staying in pocket longer and they're giving me time. We're just looking forward to next week."
Next week, of course, is a trip to defending NCAC champion Wittenberg. The Wabash-Witt game annually goes a long way to deciding the conference winner and NCAC playoff participant. The Tigers are unbeaten and had a bye week Saturday.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Game two of the 2012 LSU football season is Saturday night at six. Last week, Hurricane Isaac kept some fans away from game day activities, and the first game didn't have the excitement of this one. Friday, a group of Tiger faithful set up early for game day and vow nothing else will keep them away from campus this season.
Marvin Vinnings was happy to raise his American and LSU flags over his treasured tailgate site. The days leading up to the season kickoff last week were not so rosy for him and his wife thanks to Hurricane Isaac.
"Of course we all got run out. We stayed on the road seven days running from Isaac," said Vinnings. "We got back. We had the opportunity to go check on our home, and unfortunately we were burglarized."
Vinnings says coming to tailgate, despite what was going on at home, was the perfect remedy to get him and his wife get out of a slump.
"It's been a struggle the last few weeks and stuff," said Vinnings."We had some other things going, but I'm glad to be here."
Lola Patt and her family did not have any damage to their north Louisiana home, but she realizes a lot of her fellow tiger fans were not as lucky.
"Some people, I was told, was home because they had no electricity. Their house was flooded, and they didn't get to come," said Patt.
During this second week of the season, the Patts got a taste of some bad luck. Mechanical problems with their RV are now threatening their football fun.
"The generator went out," said Patt. "Then a box caught fire."
Patt says this just a minor hurdle for her group called the "Backrow Tailgaters." Her faith and her good luck charm, Mike, have gotten her through more stressful times.
"He's been through two national championships. He's been through a Sugar Bowl. His been to Texas Stadium," said Patt.
A group of fans ready to support the boys in purple and gold no matter what!
This game is the third meeting of LSU and Washington, the Huskies first visit since 1983.

Like many couples, David and Samantha Cameron have a 'date night' once a week to keep romance alive.
"We have one night every week where we either stay in and do nothing or go out on our own," the Prime Minister revealed to a women's magazine.
"We have a couple of favourite Italian restaurants in north Kensington.
The British leader and his wife wed in June 1996 and he claims to remember every minute of their wedding night.
He is also keen on taking Samantha to dinner for Valentine's day – if he remembers to book a table early enough, he adds.

U.S. shoppers remained cautious in September, gravitating toward bargains as their confidence took a hit from political strife in Washington and slow job growth, just weeks ahead of the start of the holiday season.
A group of nine U.S. retailers, excluding drugstores, reported a 0.4 percent rise in September same-store sales, lower than the 3.1 percent growth analysts had expected, the Thomson Reuters same-store sales index showed.
Continue Reading Below
Several apparel stores posted disappointing numbers.
Gap Inc (NYSE:GPS) said overall sales at stores open at least a year fell 3 percent, with declines at its namesake chain, Banana Republic and Old Navy, and the clothier blamed growing economic uncertainty. Analysts expected comparable sales to rise 1.6 percent. Gap shares fell 4.2 percent in afterhours trading.
L Brands Inc's (NYSE:LTD) same-store sales grew 1 percent, missing Wall Street estimates of a 2 percent gain. At its Victoria's Secret chain, it had to offer deeper promotions than it had expected, especially in its teen-oriented Pink brand.
Same-store sales at Zumiez Inc (NASDAQ:ZUMZ), The Buckle Inc (NYSE:BKE) and American Apparel Inc (NYSEMKT:APP) all fell last month, continuing a tough stretch for stores that cater to younger shoppers.
"The consumer is still buying but it's still the same story: the high end is holding up better than the lower end, where shoppers are more affected by different factors," said Michael Niemira, chief economist of the International Council of Shopping Centers, which projects same-store sales to rise about 4 percent in October.
Shoppers were lured by deals.
On Wednesday, warehouse chain Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:COST) reported U.S. same-store sales that beat Wall Street expectations, as consumers sought out its less expensive merchandise and gasoline.
Fred's Inc (NASDAQ:FRED), a discount general merchandise chain, reported better-than-expected sales, and Stein Mart Inc (NASDAQ:SMRT), which sells fashions at big discounts compared to department stores, reported a 5 percent increase.
During the summer, many shoppers shifted spending to items like cars and homes and away from clothes, hurting retailers that have a heavy presence in malls, such as the teen-focused retailers and department stores.
J.C. Penney Co Inc (NYSE:JCP), which this week reported a 4 percent drop in comparable sales for September but is not part of the same-store sales index, said traffic trends at its mall stores remained "difficult."
Gap said in a recording that traffic deteriorated as September wore on.
Shares in L Brands, which forecast October same-store sales would rise by a low single-digit percentage, fell 4.1 percent.
Consumer confidence dropped in September on concerns about the short-term outlook for jobs and whether a slight improvement in the economy would keep its momentum, according to the U.S. Conference Board.
In September, consumers were also worried about the prospect of a partial U.S. government shutdown. Those concerns were realized on October 1 and the closure is now in its tenth day.
U.S. business leaders have expressed concern about the impact of the political deadlock, especially with the holiday season looming. Indeed, if the U.S. debt ceiling is not raised by an October 17 deadline, the United States - the world's biggest borrower - could default on some debt, with ramifications for markets and economies domestic and worldwide.
"If and when there's a default, we will feel that," Macy's Inc (NYSE:M) Chief Executive Terry Lundgren said at a conference in New York last week.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Thursday the gridlock in Washington was hurting the U.S. economy and urged Congress to raise a cap on government borrowing to keep America from defaulting on its debt.
Later, Republicans in the House of Representatives unveiled a plan that would avert a looming U.S. default.
Last week, Rite Aid Corp (NYSE:RAD) reported comparable sales of general merchandise fell 0.5 percent, while at Walgreen Co (NYSE:WAG.N) they rose 2.9 percent. Both chains get the bulk of their revenue from drug prescriptions.
Including these two drugstore chains, Thomson Reuters same-store sales index rose 2.4 percent, less than the 4.5 percent forecast by analysts.

Useful modular cable 90cm
Due back in stock in 2-3 months
Seen it cheaper? Tell us!
Order by phone on: 0141 221 9650
14 Day Money Back Guarantee! See our returns policy.
Manufacturer: TipTop Audio
Category: Default Category
Inspired by the stackable banana cable, the patented Tiptop Stackcable is the first cable that combines stacking capability with a low noise shielded structure for use in audio. With signal splitting available directly on the plug, you can say goodbye to patchbays, mults and Y-adapters while enjoying the superior signal integrity that only a shielded audio path can provide. No more need to run a signal all the way to a patchbay just to route it around your system. Using a Stackcable provides a true shielded path with no signal degradation.
Stackcables are compatible with all audio gear that uses the standard 3.5mm / 1/8" jacks and plugs, this includes new and vintage synthesizers from all manufacturers. The Stackcables are not compatible with Switchcraft Tini-Jax® plugs but will work well with the Tini-Jax® jacks that are used by Buchla.
The Switchcraft Tini-Jax® were widely used in US made vintage audio equipment and synthesizers but are less common these days. These plugs can still be found with vintage synthesizers. Modular gear that still uses these jacks and plugs today is the Buchla system. The Stackcables uses an ultra miniature jack structure that was designed to be used with standard 1/8" 3.5mm plugs. On the Tini-Jax® plugs, the tip and sleeve are wider and have a dierent shape. Inserting a Tini-Jax® plug into the Stackcable may widen up the internal contact, and loosen its grip with standard 1/8" 3.5mm plugs. If you are not sure which type of plugs you are using, please refer to the picture on the next page.
For the long operational life of the Stackcable do not pull it out using the cable. Doing so over time will destroy the internal connection, creating unstable signal ow and eventually resulting in the cables demise. Stackables should only be pulled out using the molded head.
On some Stackables the metal jack will rotate. This is a normal outcome due to the specifics of their manufacturing process. They are fully functional and in no way impede or degrade the functionality of your Stackcable.

(If you have a moment before doing so, we have a few thoughts we'd like to share regarding prices and service elsewhere, so please take a read over the notes below. Thanks!)
At Rubadub we regularly monitor our prices to ensure we're competitive. We know how important your hard-earned cash is and will always strive to provide you with as good (if not better) a deal as anyone else. However... it's also worth saying that in the bigger picture we consider other factors to be just as important as price in the service we offer our customers. As we always say, we're good guys to deal with and that's worth something more than money.
If the price you've seen is on a European website (or one that appears to be from the UK but is actually German or Dutch), please also note that many such sites will charge you in Euros and the £GBP prices shown are, at best, a rough guide. Often the credit card currency exchange fees are not included in the prices, and as such the actual £GBP price you pay is often 3-4% more than the price they show.
They are also supplying you with non-UK stock so it will have European power plugs (costing you more cash to replace the power supply) and will generally have to go back to Germany or Holland if you are unhappy with it or something goes wrong with it.
When you buy from Rubadub you get:
So it's worth considering that even against a crazy price elsewhere, we may be offering the best deal for you overall.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's basketball team ended its three-game losing skid by defeating host Newbury College, 54-46, on Monday night. Jamie Simmons tallied a game-high 16 points and four assists to go along with two steals and one block for the Engineers (4-7). Coming off the bench, Amy Marshall and Cheryl Kwinn each grabbed 14 rebounds while Marshall posted 11 points. Clara Yuan added nine points as Marissa Good contributed six boards.
MIT opened the game with back-to-back three-pointers by Yuan, going on to hold an 8-2 advantage after four minutes elapsed. The Nighthawks notched eight straight points to claim their first lead two minutes later. The Cardinal and Gray went ahead, 13-10, on a trey and layup by Simmons. On its ensuing possession, Newbury evened the contest with a three-pointer by Kendra Bannister at the 12:26 mark. Sparked by a basket from Marshall, MIT mounted a 16-2 run that spanned almost 10 minutes and resulted in a 29-15 margin. The Nighthawks responded with nine unanswered points to close the gap to five (29-24) at the intermission.
Newbury carried the momentum into the second stanza, coming within one (29-28) after 2:28 expired. A layup by Sally Simpson maintained the Engineers' small cushion as they went on to establish a 41-33 edge midway through the frame. The Nighthawks countered by scoring eight of the next 10 points, cutting their deficit to two (43-41) with 6:35 on the clock. MIT gained some breathing room with a Kwinn layup and a three-pointer from Simmons at the 5:16 mark. Following four minutes of scoreless play, Morganna Machado's trey brought the hosts within four (48-44). The Engineers thwarted any hopes of a rally during the final minute of regulation courtesy of a put-back by Kwinn and a 4-of-6 shooting performance from the charity stripe.

About That Syracuse National Title Next Year. . .Posted by nvr1983 on April 9th, 2009
Despite their embarrassing performance in the Sweet 16 against Oklahoma (aka "The Tony Crocker Show"), many people around the Syracuse basketball team expected that they might have a chance to win a national title next year if they returned their nucleus with Kristof Ongenaet being the only senior who played significant minutes. Although there had been talk of some of the stars testing out NBA waters, it was widely expected that only 1 player would declare. Well it turns out that Jim Boeheim may have some more work to do next season.
According to reports, Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris have decided to enter the NBA Draft (neither has hired an agent yet) while Jonny Flynn has decided to "test the waters". Interestingly, Flynn is the only one of these three who is in Chad Ford's Top 100 although he has Harris listed as being "late first to early second" despite being ranked #103.
While Syracuse should be able to compete for a NCAA bid with Andy Rautins, Rick Jackson, and Arinze Onuaku returning and the addition of DaShonte Riley and Brandon Triche, their fans will have to hope that Flynn decides to return because if he decides to go pro (projected to be a late lottery pick) they might end up going from a national title favorite to the middle to back of the pack in the Big East next year.

Property Management Companies
Property managers provide many valuable services and can help
landlords manage their
rentals, apartments,
townhomes, or
Remove the hassle of managing your own rental property by
having a professional do it for you.
Call 866-689-2309 from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM (PST) for live help.
Search property management companies by entering your rental
property's zip code above.
A property manager does the work for you while you collect rental
income. Let a professional focus on your rental property while you
focus on more important things, such as your family or career.
Are you a property owner who wants to rent out your property but does
not want to deal with the the tenant or the hassle of maintaining and
repairing the property? If so, a Property Management Company may be what
you are looking for. A property management company performs many
important duties. They start the process by advertising your
rental property
using advertising mediums that they know are successful at finding
tenants, such as RentalAds.com,
among others. They can assist you in determining the monthly
rental value so that you can get top dollar for your property.
They also handle getting the tenant to sign the lease including the
terms of the lease. Property managers also perform one of the most
important duties; collecting rent from your tenant. If the tenant
does not pay, they are the ones responsible for communicating to the
tenant, not you. If something breaks or ever needs repaired, the
tenant contacts the property management company and not you. The
property management company then gets bids and typically has a list of
home repair professionals who provide a discount to them, thus saving
you money. They ensure that the tenant pays on time, maintains your
property and many other important services. Most will even
maintain your lawn while the property is vacant. They market your rental and attract tenants.
They will also show your property to interested tenants and handle the
negotiation process, rental contract, security deposit and payment
processing. The cost to hire their services is also very
reasonable considering the many services they provide.

Acquisition brings network monitoring and analytics software capabilities
Boeing continued its expansion into the cybersecurity realm this week with the acquisition of Narus Inc., a provider of real-time network traffic and analytics software. The financial terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition of privately held Narus is an outgrowth of a partnership between the two companies and is intended to boost Boeing's capabilities in delivering cybersecurity products and technologies to domestic and international customers, company officials said July 7.
"This acquisition is another step forward in our strategy to develop integrated solutions for better network visibility, threat detection and cybersecurity," said Roger Krone, president of Boeing Network and Space Systems.
Narus will operate as a unit in Boeing's Network and Space Systems. In addition to supporting cyber initiatives for that segment of Boeing's operations, Narus' technology also will be applied to Boeing's smart grid energy work and also to ensure the network security of Boeing's ground, air and space products.
The acquisition is expected to close in third quarter 2010.
Narus, which employs 150 people, is based in Sunnyvale, Calif. Boeing, of Chicago, ranks No. 3 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government prime contractors.

And there is significance to Kenichi. He disrupted the status quo since the beginning and that has rippled throughout many groups of fighters.

And it's not helped by the fact that even regular masters are so massively overpowered, it doesn't look like Kenichi would ever have any hope of touching one, even after 50 more years of training. Some of these masters aren't much older than him, yet they're so far beyond him, it's not even funny. Unless he gets some random, Bleach-like power up out of nowhere, the mangaka's got to speed his growth up a bit.... or he'll never be more than a disciple, which is disappointing. The last thing I want to see is "Kenichi, the 90 year old disciple!"

^ You shouldn't give up hope on Kenichi. Several months after he joined the dojo he was able to become as good as Miu who has been in the martial art world all her life. If he could accomplish that level of strength and skill in that relatively amount of time, just imagine how tough he could be if he had several years under his belt.

I agree with Ellifeedn, Kenchi has only been learning martial arts for a year! One year! If you think about it that is really amazing. He has quickly gotten to the point where is outfighting people who have been studying martial arts for their whole life. That is impressive even if the fighters aren't master class. I'm up in the area about the state of the manga. I love the masters no doubt about that and I have to say the mui tai fight was one of the best in the manga, in my opinion, but I can also see what KLGChaos is saying. The masters really do over shadow Kenchi especially shugurie. Hehe.

He is fighting people in his own league, I don't see how that diminishes his achievements in any way. Specially when you consider that all the other fighters in this series have been precticing martial arts for far longer than Kenichi has. If all the other disciples were beating masters and he wasn't then I'd agree, but they are just as outclassed as he is in those situations.

I think he introduced Yami as the big bads a little too early and should have waited until the thing with Yomi was done first and Kenichi leveled up a bit more. At this rate, the manga might as well be called "History's Strongest Grand Masters... and the disciples they need to protect!"
Then again, it's probably the slow pace of the manga that's bothering me the most and compounding my issues with it. It's why I tend to avoid most action mangas-- the authors will spend months on a single battle and not much to show for it. I mean, did we really need at these chapters about the disk? It's something that could have been resolved in half the time easily.

Top 10 British Grand Prix Champions
1. Mike Hailwood
Similar to a certain Valentino Rossi, Mike "The Bike" Hailwood is a nine-time Grand Prix champion – the most decorated British GP racer in the history of the sport. In the span of only six years Hailwood managed to attain three 250cc titles (1961, '66, '67), two 350cc titles (1966, '67), and four consecutive 500cc titles (1962, '63, '64, '65); the sport's first four-peat. All four 500cc titles were aboard MV Agustas, while the smaller-displacement titles came aboard Hondas. Hailwood also owns 14 IOM TT victories, the most notable in 1978, when after 11 years of retirement from motorcycle road racing, he returned aboard a Ducati 900SS, and won the Senior TT that year. Maybe most tragic of all, Hailwood was killed by an illegal-turning truck while driving with his children getting take out in 1981, age 40. All hail the king.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Following victories over Washington & Jefferson and Connecticut College yesterday, MIT water polo narrowly lost to Johns Hopkins, 15-13 on Sunday afternoon. The Engineers wrapped up the final day of the Division III Eastern Championships in second place behind the Blue Jays and ahead of Conn. College, who defeated W&J, 13-11, in another close game earlier.
MIT outperformed Johns Hopkins in the first two periods, leading them 8-6 at the end of the first 16 minutes. The tables were turned in the remaining two periods, however, when the Blue Jays scored nine goals compared to the five tallied by the Engineers. The game ended with a score of 15-13 in favor of Johns Hopkins.
Junior Craig Cheney (Sherwood, Ore.) was a staple for the Engineers, tallying five goals throughout the entire game, which was tied with Johns Hopkins' Ross Schofield for most goals. Freshman Kale Rogers (Newberg, Ore.) was close behind with three goals. Fellow freshman Ory Tasman (Orlando, Fla.) and junior Scott Stephens (Los Angeles, Calif.) recorded two goals each and sophomore Jack Clark (Laguna Beach, Calif.) scored once. Senior goalkeeper Kevin Hsiue (Alamo, Calif.) recorded ten saves, compared to Erik Henrikson on the opposite side of the pool, who only totaled five saves.
At the end of the weekend, Cheney and Rogers were named First Team All-Tournament, while Tasman and Hsiue were named Second Team All-Tournament.
MIT will return to action on Friday, Oct. 26 when it travels to Providence, R.I. to face Brown before returning home and hosting Connecticut College for the third time this season on Saturday, Oct. 27.

A bolt of lightning Wednesday night damaged the Grace @Calvary Lutheran Church in downtown.
But the church's Facebook page quickly dispelled any notion of any major problems.
"For those of you who have been wondering, the church was struck by lightning this evening," said the posting about 9 p.m. "Nobody was hurt thank goodness!"
The bolt struck the large dome of the church just after 7 p.m., sending several stone blocks tumbling down to the roof below.
The stones bounced off the roof before making their way to the street around the church, which is distinctive with its heavy stone and rounded arches.
Church officials said the sanctuary was spared any damage.
The lightning was part of a strong thunderstorm that moved across Butler County.
Bob Fleeger, the president of the church council, said there was a youth group visiting from St. Luke Lutheran Church in Cabot in the basement of the church at the time of the strike. He said the youth group moved to the basement because of the concerns with the storm.
None of the stone blocks made it inside the building.
"If you stand inside, you can't even tell anything happened," Fleeger said. "It just tore up the roof."
The Butler Fire Department and the VA Butler Healthcare fire department's role Rapid Intervention Response Team were dispatched but found no fire.
City code enforcement officer John Evans also was called to inspect the building for any structural damage that could pose a safety hazard.
There was no estimate on the cost of damage.
Fleeger said he did not expect the damage to impact the church's Sunday service since it could be held in the basement if needed.
