"The Den"
- Date:
- 1888
- Description:
- This black and white photograph depicts "The Den" in Peru, according to information written on its back. "The Den" is a large two and a half story building with multiple chimneys and several dormer windows that appears to be used as a railroad station. Tracks run in front of the building. Several men are visible standing on the platform, which is providing cover by an overhang that extends under the second story windows. In the foreground, there is a motley assortment of wagons and other wooden articles gathered in a pile. Note the tall wooden pole that rises beside the pile. Behind "The Den" there is another building with a partially visible sign at its top that reads "TTSBUR." Bill Badger writes on 2013-05-26: This is not Peru, Vermont. There was never a railroad in Peru nor a building like this. The sign on the building to the rear is a hint that it is probably in or near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Corey A. Kennedy writes on 2018-02-10: I think it is more likely that this was in Peru, NY which is just south of Plattsburg, NY.

Type a name for your new list.
DO: Use a charger that is specifically designed to charge Li-Po batteries. Using chargers that are not Li-Po-specific can be an extreme fire hazard.
DO: Li-Pos don't develop memory or voltage depression characteristics like Ni-Cds. Charge them without the worry of cycling or discharging them first.
DO: Store Li-Pos at least partially charged. Li-Pos will maintain their performance levels over time, even during non-use, much better than Ni-Cds, and there's no need to cycle them.
DON'T: Never fully discharge your Li-Po battery pack. Most electronic speed controls have a voltage cutoff that will prevent over-discharging the battery, but were designed for Ni-Cd & Ni-MH batteries. Be sure that your ESC features the proper Li-Po cut off voltage of 3V per cell (6V for 2-cell packs, 9V for 3-cell packs and so on). Discharging a Li-Po cell beyond its critical minimum voltage will cause damage to the battery.
DON'T: Shorting a Li-Po pack for even an instant can cause damage to the battery. Whether the pack has been shorted when new, while adding or changing the connector, when fully charged or fully discharged, the pack should not be charged without extreme caution. Be sure to take care when soldering connectors and during handling or charging to prevent shorts.
DON'T: If you have a crash and the battery is damaged, don't put the battery in your car or house immediately after a crash. It's possible that a chemical reaction can take place in the damaged battery that could cause a fire. Put the battery in a safe place for at least one hour.
Li-Po packs are available in 2- and 3-cell varieties (Thunder Power packs are also available in 4-cell and 5-cell models). Each cell in the pack has a nominal voltage of 3.7V and multi-cell packs are wired in series.
2-cell pack = 7.4V
3-cell pack = 11.1V
4-cell pack = 14.8V
5-cell pack = 18.5V
A "C" or "current" rating indicates the maximum recommended average discharge current for that pack and is used to help you determine the maximum discharge rate. To determine the maximum discharge rate, multiply the "C" rating by the pack capacity (i.e. 1900mAh cell x 6C rating = maximum discharge rate of 11,400mA or 11.4A).
The "S" number indicates the number of cells in series. For instance, 2S indicates a 2 series (2-cell) pack.
Larger packs use the "P" number to indicate the number of cells in parallel. For instance 3S2P indicates the pack is built with 2 cells in parallel, then 3 sets of the 2 parallel cells are joined in series.
Li-Po batteries require a very different charge method than Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cells and can catch fire if charged with a standard, non-Li-Po charger. Li-Po batteries do not "peak" when fully charged and require a "constant current/constant voltage" capable charger.
JST connectors have become the standard on many electronic speed controls and chargers for slow flyer and park flyer applications. While it's true that the JST connector does have a discharge output limitation, it is still the first choice of beginning modelers or those who do not discharge at very high rates.

Mike Lowell started the second inning with a single to left and J.D Drew worked an eight-pitch walk. After Julio Lugo popped out, Jeff Bailey singled to left center. Lowell scored on the hit, Drew went to third, and Gumball took second on Adam Lind's throwing error. George Kottaras then lofted a sac fly to left.
Cabin Mirror opened the top of the fifth with a dong to left, but that was Toronto's only run. Only two other Blue Jay runners reached second base.
The Fenway crowd was solidly behind David Ortiz, but Flo went 0-for-3, walking in the first, but then: K, 4-3, K. Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a fifth-inning single; he also doubled in the eighth.

Terry Francona:
I don't know. I want to talk to him. And I haven't wanted to talk to him yet, because I've wanted to give him some room.SoSHer Carl Everetts Therapist relayed some information "from someone who interviewed [Vice President of Player Personnel] Ben Cherington" last Friday morning:
Papi's struggles are a combination of mental physical and emotional. He also has been withdrawn and silent in the clubhouse. ... There will be a closed door meeting ASAP that includes Magaden, Tito, Theo, Henry and the training staff. A decision will be made as far as how to approach this thing ...SoSHer normstalls:
Suggestions have been made about possible options that include ... Moving Ortiz down in the order ...
For what its worth (and maybe not much) Ortiz looked really good during BP on Saturday. He hit a groove and was really driving some balls well. I think he hit about 5 out. Now this was only BP and normally is nothing to be encouraged about, but given his current condition I took it as a glimmer of hope.John Hickey, MLB.com:
Hitting coach Dave Magadan said Ortiz's mechanics are back where they are supposed to be, so all the slugger needs now is to regain his confidence.Wily Mo Pena, currently with the Buffalo Bisons, on not hitting home runs in 2006:
[Bronson] Arroyo had two [with the Reds] and I had nothing. [Fans] were jumping all over me every time I came to the plate. I was thinking too much, but once I hit that first one, I was able to breathe and starting hitting. That's going to be the same for Ortiz. ...Julio Lugo is also expected back in the lineup.
He's not swinging the same. I don't know if he's hurt, or if something is bothering him, or if he's thinking about something. I wish I could know something.

BOSTON — The posting of mock eviction notices on the doors of Harvard University students to publicize the campus Israeli Apartheid Week has sparked a campus debate.
The flyers, which said that the rooms were "scheduled for demolition in the next three days," were posted on student's dormitory doors on March 2, the Harvard Crimson campus student newspaper reported.
The notices posted by the Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee were meant to make students think about what the committee believes is an unlawful displacement of Palestinians from their homeland at the hands of the Israeli government, according to the newspaper.
The mock eviction flyers also were posted in 2010, according to the Crimson, but did not generate as much controversy.
Students objecting to the publicity campaign sent emails complaining about the stunt through their dormitory lists. The emails generated more emails against the campaign but also some in support of it, according to the newspaper.
The Anti-Defamation League objected to the campaign.
"This tactic is designed to silence and intimidate pro-Israel advocates at Harvard and campuses around the country," said Robert Trestan, ADL's acting New England regional director. "Free expression has a place on campus; however targeting the dorms of Harvard students lends itself to creating tension, isolating students and fomenting hostility."
Trestan also voiced ADL's concern about the underlying anti-Israel message.
"We recognize and support free speech, but condemn the anti-Israel views expressed in the eviction notices as factually incorrect and intolerant," he said. "This is an example of how anti-Israel activism on campus can cross the line by causing supporters to feel isolated and intimidated.
Israeli Apartheid Week activities began on March 7 on the Harvard campus. They include a screening of the documentary film 5 Broken Cameras, a lecture by Noam Chomsky and the construction of an "apartheid wall" in the Science Center Plaza meant to evoke images of Israel's security fence.

Prepare the Surface Area
Any cracks or damaged areas should be repaired and the surface should be level. If a primer has been purchased then the primer should be applied and left to dry. Plan the Layout of the Tiles
Mark the centre of the surface area using snap chalk and plan where each tile will lay. This can be completed by dry laying each tile or simply marking where each tile will be installed. This will allow the edge pieces to be measured and cut accordingly.
Apply Adhesive
It is important to read manufacturer's instructions if the adhesive requires mixing. The adhesive should be applied with a trowel and only 1 meter squared should be applied at a time. A ¼" coat is usually recommended; however, this may vary depending on the tile. Use the notched side of the trowel at a 45-degree angle to remove any excess adhesive.
Lay the Tiles
If you are laying floor tiles then start in the centre of the room, or if you're laying wall tiles then start in a corner and work your way across. Place spacers in between tiles to ensure an even joint gap is created. Gently tap all tiles into place and wipe away any excess adhesive from the surface of the tiles using a damp sponge. Always check the lines are even using a spirit level. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Apply Grout
Use a grout flout to push the grout into the joints at a 45-degree angle using diagonal swipes. Ensure any excess grout is removed from the surface of the tiles to avoid damaging the final appearance. The grout should take around 20 minutes to cure. Once the grout has cured, wipe down all tiles with a damp cloth. Once the tiles have been left for 72 hours then you are able to apply a coat of sealant over the tiles or grout.Always read the manufacturer's instructions on packaging as aspects of the installation method may change due to variation of products.

The city's craft brewers are fuelling a building boom that brings construction workers and beer together like never before.
At least nine craft microbrewery startups and three major brewery expansions — by Steamworks, Mark James Group and Central City — are in varying stages of development in Metro Vancouver, all with an eye to opening before the end of the year.
Surrey's Central City Brewing Co. is nearing completion on a massive 65,000-square-foot brewery near the Pattullo Bridge. The project will immediately triple the brewing capacity of the brew pub with new equipment dedicated to its successful Red Racer line of beers, and still leave plenty of room to grow.
The goal is to take Red Racer across Canada and into the northwestern United States, according to owner and brewmaster Gary Lohin, who is in Italy commissioning new packaging lines. Lohin already has product in 120 stores in B.C. and 230 stores in Ontario.
"The new brewing equipment is in transit," said sales and marketing manager Tim Barnes. Test batches will get underway in May with an eye to opening July 13.
Plans for a lounge and tasting room are still mostly in the sketches-on-napkins stage, but Central City plans to take full advantage of recent loosening of B.C.'s tied-house laws, which now allow breweries to serve and sell their products on site.
Campaign for Real Ale BC president Rick Green applauded new government rules that offer breweries many of the same revenue opportunities enjoyed by wineries, adding they will only help fuel more consumer choice in beer.
Vancouver's Steamworks Brew Pub entered the retail market in 2012 with the Signature Pale Ale that has been a mainstay in the Water Street establishment for nearly 18 years. A Pilsner has been added to the core list of beers being sold in bottles and kegs, as have recent seasonal limited releases such as Oatmeal Stout and Blitzen Christmas Ale.
A new brewery in Burnaby, slated to open July 1, will massively expand production of bottles and cans for the retail market and kegs for other pubs, according to Steamworks president Walter Cosman. Steamworks has been producing bottles under contract at Langley's Dead Frog Brewing while the new brewery is being built.
"We are looking at expansion to Alberta and Ontario," Cosman said.
The new facility will include 25,000 sq. ft of production space and a 2,000-sq.-ft tasting room, an amenity made legal by B.C.'s new relaxed liquor laws.
Newly hired brewer Caolan Vaughan expects to add to the roster of seasonal releases and has plans for a program of barrel-aged beers and out-of-the-box innovations.
"I hope to combine some New World and some Old World philosophies and make some imperial stouts and double IPAs," said Vaughan, a 28-year-old Australian who has worked for Little Creatures Brewery in her native country and more recently for U.K.-based Thornbridge Brewery.
Cosman reckons there is room for more and bigger craft brewers in B.C.'s beer market.
"When you look at Portland and see that craft beer has 40 per cent of the beer market and Seattle is in the range of 30 per cent, there is no sign of this growth slowing down," said Cosman. "Craft beer is still less than 20 per cent of the beer market (in B.C.)."
At least three new craft microbreweries — Brassneck, Main Street and 33 Acres Brewery — and Mark James' new mid-sized Red Truck Brewery will open this year within a few blocks of each other in Vancouver's historic Brewery Creek neighbourhood, in lower Mount Pleasant.
All the new Brewery Creek operations are planning to pour beer on-site, which should make the neighbourhood something of a Mecca for craft beer enthusiasts.
Construction of the Red Truck brewery on East 1st Ave. will take much of the year to complete and will include a dining and drinking establishment, the Red Truck Stop diner.
The extra brewing capacity will allow Red Truck beers to distribute provincewide, according to company spokesman Fraser Boyer.
Recently departed Steamworks brewmaster Conrad Gmoser has partnered with Alibi Room owner Nigel Springthorpe to open Brassneck Brewery, an operation more modest in size than Central City, Red truck or Steamworks, but one heaped with promise.
Gmoser honed the respected roster of Steamworks draft beers for more than 15 years, earning among other accolades a gold medal for pale ale at the 2012 Canadian Brewing Awards.
Gmoser and Springthorpe are building a microbrewery with a tasting room at 2148 Main St., and hope to start brewing by the end of the year.
Retail sales will be focused on growlers, refillable jugs that hold the equivalent of a six-pack.
Just around the corner on West 7th Ave., Main Street Brewing Company is about to begin a 10-week construction schedule that should see suds flowing by the end of May, according to co-owner Nigel Pike.
Main Street has put the cart before the horse, launching the first of its beers in cans, bottles and kegs a year before construction of the brewery even starts. Main Street Pilsner is already available in 15 local taprooms and restaurants, and in 20 private liquor stores.
"We are brewing Main Street Pilsner under contract at Russell Brewing," said Pike. "So we have had a chance to build the brand while we pulled the brewery together."
Another startup, Bomber Brewing, has just secured a brewery location near Commercial Drive, according to co-owner Don Farion, who also runs BierCraft and Incendio with his partner Dean Mallel.
"Once we have tentative approval that our location will be acceptable, we will begin the licence application process, after which we will be ordering our equipment and beginning construction," said Farion.
As with most of the city's startup microbreweries caught in the permitting and development application process, "an actual timeline is impossible to guess," he said.
Other brewery startups that plan to open this year are scattered across the city and the province, including:
• 33 Acres Brewing Company, which is almost through the city's permitting process and ready to build in Brewery Creek on West 8th Ave.
• Dogwood Brewing of no fixed address, headed by former Big River brewer Claire Connolly.
• Vancouver's Doan's Craft Brewing Co., now brewing test batches and expected to open near the end of 2013
• New Westminster's Sapperton Brewing and tasting room are now under construction, opening this summer.
• Delta's Four Winds Brewing, which should be in production within weeks.
• Prince Rupert's Wheelhouse Brewing Co., now under construction.

similar scene
three years earlier. This time, in January 1974, I join my brother and sister-in-law in a pose by their now different green foreign car, a Fiat station wagon. I'll leave it up to the chorus of commenters as to whether the various changes overall represent progress or regression. I'll only say that once again, my sister-in-law is the most stylish.

Michael Finke's presentation at FPA Retreat 2013 in Palm Springs, Calif., on Monday wasted no time in surprising the advisors in attendance.
"Baby boomers have saved more money for retirement than any generation in history," Finke, a professor of personal finance at Texas Tech University said at the outset of "The New Retirement Reality."
The somewhat contrarian speaker said that as such, although we're in a retirement crisis, it's a "bit overblown."
He noted older baby boomers have saved less that younger baby boomers, and younger baby boomers have saved less than Generation X, even accounting for the poor asset returns experienced by the latter.
"And despite the conventional wisdom that it's only getting worse, there were 40% more assets in defined contribution plans in 2012 when compared with 2005," Finke argued.
He added that we are still "about a decade away" from this baby boomer "retirement experiment" with defined contribution plans.
"I'm here to tell you that as baby boomers in the middle of the demographic retire, it will be your job to be their pension managers," he declared.
Finke noted that although pension managers get paid "a million dollars a year," the advisor's job is much harder.
"What do pension managers worry about?" he rhetorically asked. "They worry about asset returns in this low interest rate environment and longevity."
He explained that advisors worry about the same thing, but a client's sequence of returns and risk is theirs alone, and cannot be shared.
"The risk is idiosyncratic to the client. Not so with pension managers, who know that if someone lives to age 100, someone else will only live to 70."
"Finke then turned to an area of controversy, his view that the 4% retirement withdrawal rule "is dead."
"The 4% rule assumes that spending will be the same in retirement. But 50% of the couples will have one spouse that dies by the age of 80. What are the chances that one spouse will spend as much as two? Not much, and our ability to spend diminishes with age.
Finke also noted that the static 4% rule not only performed worse than a more dynamic rule that took current events into consideration, it also performed worse that "a regular RMD payment."

Great compact sporty SUV for the price
By Steve on Monday, March 19, 2018When I drove the Eclipse Cross I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the interior was. With creature comforts like dual zone climate control, heated seats and steering wheel, and even a heated back bench, the car didnt lack in competing with other similar makes/models for the interior feel. The engine was surprisingly responsive, even being a 1.5T CVT. That being said, if you can handle having the CVT than this car gives you enough power to play with and doesnt feel like youre drowning the engine when pressing the accelerator like it does in the under powered Outlander Sport. The HUD on the car looks and works great, just as the premium Rockford Fosgate speakers do. It has generous amounts of storage and gives multiple options for tonneau placements. Its a great sporty compact suv especially with is MSRP and brilliant red color option. Great handling and a very comfortable car. The only downsides I had was that if youre a taller person (over about 6) it can feel a little small, especially in the passenger seat.

Great well rounded small suv
By Jasonp on Sunday, April 14, 2019I love this car so far I traded my 2016 Jeep Cherokee for this and I'm glad I did. Warranty is much better and came with more standard features.

Pleasantly Surprised
By JOB on Sunday, February 03, 2019I was surprised with the performance, having only a 1.5L Turbo engine it accelerates better than the 2.0L of my 2010 Outlander Sport. It may accelerate well but don't expect to be doing over 110mph on it - it is great for normal driving. Handled very well in rain and snow. Good mpg esp when driving in Eco mode. I believe Mitsubishi is so underrated in the US but that may be good as we get better bang for the bucks. Have had no complaints with my older Mitsubishis and I hope this third one will continue the good experience.

Social Processes And Heartbleed, Part 2
Heartbleed is the most recent in a long string of security problems that come from buffer overruns. Probably the most common kind of buffer overrun happens when
- One part of a system passes a pointer to another part, perhaps along with a length.
- The second part of the system ignores or otherwise misuses the length when it figures out how much data it can store in the memory to which the pointer points.
An important reason why this kind of program structure tends to cause buffer overruns is that the caller allocates the memory, but it is not until the data have been read that the program can know how much memory to allocate. In other words, the idea that a function should allocate memory and then call another function that fills that memory is intrinsically dangerous.
Even if this danger is successfully avoided by checking bounds correctly, that check is likely to have negative consequences of its own. As an example, a former colleague once created a text file that comprised a single line with tens of thousands of characters. He tried giving that file as input to a wide variety of compilers, text-processing programs, and other utilities. Almost all of these programs misbehaved in one way or another, typically either by crashing or by quietly ignoring the last part of the input.
I think that there is a simple solution to such problems: Any part of a program that reads variable-length input should be responsible for allocating enough memory to contain that input. In C++, of course, this strategy is trivial to implement by using the standard library. In C, however, there is no easy way to write code that reads a single line of input, regardless of length, and returns a pointer to memory containing that input. Any such attempt is likely to have at least some negative consequences.
Once upon a time, I set out to add a solution to this problem to the C library used by the organization at which I worked at the time. My thought was that if anyone wanted to send code elsewhere that used my function, they would be free to distribute a copy of that function as part of their code. My function was called
readline, and was intended to be simple to use: Give it a file pointer (e.g.,
stdin) as input, and it would read an entire line of input, regardless of length, and return a pointer to the initial character of a null-terminated string representing that line. If it reached end of file, it would return a null pointer.
Of course, any C function that allocates memory and returns a pointer to that memory has a problem: When is the memory freed? I thought about making the caller responsible for freeing the memory, but felt that doing so would make it likely that some callers would simply forget, turning programs with buffer overruns into programs with memory leaks.
Ultimately, I decided on a strategy that I had seen elsewhere:
readline would return a pointer to memory that was guaranteed to remain unchanged until the next time someone called
readline. This strategy not only saved users a lot of worry, but also allowed for an easy implementation: The program stored a static pointer to a (dynamically allocated) buffer, which would grow in size as needed to contain the line being read. This approach made the most common use case both simple and safe:
char *line; while ((line = readline(stdin)) != NULL) { /* Process a line */ }
Of course, this approach had its problems. For example, using
readline twice in a single expression would cause undefined behavior, as would forgetting to copy the data out of the returned memory if the programmer wished to save the data after the next call to
readline. Moreover, this code would waste at least as much memory as was needed to contain the last line of input. In practice, it wasted enough memory to contain the longest line of input, because although I reallocated the buffer whenever it was shorter than an input line, I never made the buffer smaller. I felt that the extra speed from avoiding reallocations would compensate for what would be a small amount of wasted memory under what I thought would be rare circumstances.
Apparently I overestimated people's willingness to tolerate memory-allocation overhead: When I went back to look at the code a few months later, I learned that someone had completely replaced my version of
readline by one with a fixed 4096-character buffer. As far as I know, his motivation was to avoid the overhead of runtime memory allocation completely. In other words, to avoid what in most circumstances would be a single call to the memory allocator, he quietly broke every program that might have used
readline whenever that program might encounter a line longer than 4096 characters.
I have gone into this story at such length because it shows several points that I think are important:
- Buffer overruns often come about when one part of a program allocates memory to contain an amount of data known only to another part.
- Allocating memory in the same part of the program that fills it solves the allocation problem at the cost of forcing memory to be allocated in one part of the program and freed in another part.
- This separation between allocation and freeing can cause usability problems that are hard to circumvent without support as part of the programming language.
- Even if users are willing to accept the usability problems as the price for safety and versatility, they may not be willing to accept the perceived overhead of dynamic memory allocation.
I think that programmers' reluctance to accept runtime overhead as a price for safety is a major reason why security bugs are so widespread. We shall learn more about this phenomenon next week.

WASHINGTON — A winter storm marched into the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday, dumping nearly two feet of snow in some places and knocking out power to about 250,000 homes and businesses. It largely spared the nation's capital, which was expecting much worse and had all but shut down.
Officials in Washington didn't want a repeat of 2011, when a rush-hour snowstorm stranded commuters for hours, so they told people to stay off the roads and gave workers the day off. Dubbed the "snowquester," the storm closed federal government offices, just as the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester were expected to do.
The storm pummeled the nation's midsection on Tuesday, killing at least four people in weather-related traffic accidents. It was forecast to head to the northeast on Thursday, bringing strong winds, more snow and the possibility of coastal flooding to New England.
The National Weather Service was predicting up to 7 inches of heavy, wet snow in southeastern Connecticut through Friday morning and wind gusts that could hit 50 mph, bringing possible power outages. A coastal flood warning was in effect starting Thursday morning for east-facing shores in Massachusetts, with up to a 3-foot surge at high tide in some areas. Central Massachusetts was bracing for 4 to 8 inches of snow, while Boston was expected to get a little less.
In Washington, where as much as 10 inches had been forecast, the storm did little but drop harmless snowflakes that rapidly melted amid warmer-than-expected temperatures. Federal offices in the region will be open Thursday.
"They just say that it might snow and the whole city shuts down," said Sheri Sable, who was out walking her two dogs in light rain and marveled at how even the dog park she frequents failed to open at 7 a.m.
There were bigger problems elsewhere in the region, though.
On the Jersey Shore, still recovering from Superstorm Sandy, winds gusted past 60 mph in some parts. Winds raked the beachfront in Point Pleasant Beach, blowing drifts of sand onto Ocean Avenue, and shredding the decorative entrance canopy at a hotel across the street from the beach.
Lashing winds also blew off part of the roof of a Stone Harbor, N.J., condominium complex and Ocean City officials advised residents to move their cars to higher ground in preparation of possible flooding. Maryland's Bay Bridge, which connects Maryland's Eastern shore with the Baltimore-Washington region, closed in both directions, because of wind gusts of up to 60 mph.
A tractor-trailer overturned on the bridge and leaned against the guardrail. Kelly Kiley, an interior designer, was driving on the span soon after the accident.
"The travel on the bridge was extremely scary," Kiley said. "The crosswinds were terrible. Some of the taller box trucks were swaying."
The bridge reopened Wednesday evening.
In North Carolina, state officials said high winds led to sound side flooding along N.C. 12 and brought the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry run to a halt.
In Virginia, Gov. Bob McDonnell declared a state of emergency and about 50 National Guard soldiers were sent out to help clear roads. Up to 20 inches of snow piled up in central and western parts of the state. More than 200,000 people in Virginia alone lost power and another 40,000 in New Jersey were left in the dark. Hundreds of wrecks were reported around the region.
"Stay off the roads, stay inside, enjoy the day off," McDonnell implored residents at an early-afternoon news briefing.
In Richmond, most commuters appeared to be headed home by midday with the exception of Clint Davis, an attorney who was needed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
"Unless they canceled court, I had to be here," said Davis, who was wearing a hooded slicker over his suit to shield himself from gobs of snow blown from trees. "I'll be here for two or three hours and come out to a snow-covered car."
The storm dumped 2 feet of snow in parts of West Virginia, closing schools in more than half the state and leaving more than 20,000 customers without power.
Some communities in Washington's outer suburbs saw significant accumulation too, including in Loudoun County, which had 9 inches in some places.
In Sterling, Va., a glaze of slush and snow coated major roads and side streets, but traffic was relatively light and plow trucks passed through repeatedly. Many retailers were closed. Only a handful of customers patronized the Glory Days Grill. Carolyn Donahue was working from home and trekked out with her husband, Tom, for a lunch break without any trouble on slushy but passable roads.
"I don't consider this a big storm," he said.
Downtown Washington was unusually quiet. Officials eager to avoid a repeat of 2011 pre-emptively shut down federal offices and canceled public schools. Non-emergency federal employees were treated to a paid snow day for the number of hours they were scheduled to work.
Some congressional hearings were postponed, but the House of Representatives managed to approve legislation to prevent a government shutdown on March 27 and President Barack Obama was set to have dinner with GOP senators at a hotel on Wednesday night.
"So far, knock on wood, we've dodged on this one," said D.C. Homeland Security director Chris Geldart. "We're keeping our fingers crossed that it remains the way it's been."
The Baltimore-Washington area's last major snowstorm struck Jan. 26, 2011. It hit Washington during the evening rush hour, causing some motorists to be stuck in traffic nearly overnight. It dropped 5 inches on Washington and 7.8 inches on Baltimore, knocked out power to about 320,000 homes and contributed to six deaths. The federal government later changed its policies to allow workers to leave their offices sooner or to work from home if major storms are expected.
The current storm led to at least four deaths. A semi-trailer slid off a snow-covered interstate in western Wisconsin, killing two people. A central Indiana woman died when a semi-trailer plowed into her car after she lost control merging onto the highway, and a man from Columbia City in northeast Indiana was killed when his snowmobile left the road, headed across a field and crashed into a wire fence.
The storm brought around 10 inches of snow to weather-hardened Chicago on Tuesday, prompting the closing of schools and the cancellation of more than 1,100 flights at the city's two major airports. Hundreds more flights were canceled Wednesday at Dulles and Reagan National airports in the Washington area, according to FlightAware.com.
In Pennsylvania and Ohio, many areas had 4 to 6 inches of snow. The weather service issued a winter storm warning for the Philadelphia area and parts of central Pennsylvania through Thursday morning.

This week sees the release of Appmethod, meaning that C++ developers can create complete apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac OS X using this multi-device application development software offered by Embarcadero Technologies.
Embarcadero is upbeat and downbeat on Android, and says that while Android offers the largest addressable market opportunity for app developers, developing C++ Android applications has "fallen short" on developer productivity.
The latest release of Appmethod includes a "Free Forever" subscription plan that C++ developers can use to create Android apps to be published on any public app store (e.g., Amazon App Store and Google Play). Appmethod also enables developers to build and publish apps for all other supported device platforms for 30 days, and provides access to Appmethod Enterprise Mobility Services.
So then Appmethod is the first C++ visual development environment and component-based application framework for Android, iOS, Mac OS X, Windows, and wearables like Google Glass. Appmethod streamlines multi-device development efforts by enabling developers to create natively compiled applications for all major platforms with one effort and a single, common source codebase.
The software offers a component framework and a large set of user interface controls. From buttons and listviews, to tab management, Appmethod provides over 100 cross-platform UI controls with a common API that deliver the native experience. It also natively compiles the app to run directly on the CPU, ensuring developers deliver the fastest apps for the best user experience.
"Appmethod's Enterprise Mobility Services can be used to securely expose custom APIs over REST/JSON, access Enterprise data from major database vendors with the included SQL database connectors, and provide a secure, embedded, and server database. Appmethod also features a common component API for MBaaS services, like push notifications, user management, and storage (files and objects)," said Michael Swindell, Embarcadero SVP of products.

Across the country, financial advisors are wasting their time on social media, but not for the reasons you may think. Before I explain why this is happening, let's set the record straight that a good number are seeing success with social media efforts. A recent study by FTI Consulting & LinkedIn stated: "In the past year, more than three in five financial advisors who used LinkedIn for client prospecting successfully gained new clients as a result — with nearly a third of these generating $1 million or more in assets under management." In addition, the same study stated that more than half of financial advisors expect social media to play a significant role in their marketing efforts in 2013.
All evidence of success aside, here are five reasons financial advisors may be wasting their time on social media and what they can do to make their efforts more fruitful.
Reason No. 1: Inappropriate broadcasting.
The problem: Simply pushing your content without interacting with your audience will get you nowhere. If you're broadcasting because you don't have time to spend engaging your clients and prospects, then I recommend that you not use social media at all. My guess is you'll probably achieve similar results.
The solution: Engagement is the name of the game for social media. Today's consumers and investors want relationships with both individuals and businesses online. Use the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of your content (status updates, tweets, RTs, etc…) should be articles/content relevant to your audience from different sources or comments and conversations. The remaining 20 percent may be information about your business and what you do.
Reason No. 2: A nonexistent online marketing strategy.
The problem: Many are flying blind when it comes to social media, with no formal plan or purpose. They may be trying to be all things to everyone and hoping for good results.
The solution: Knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish will be the first step toward success. If you don't know why you are using social media, neither will your clients and prospects. Set goals and objectives, determine available resources (time, money, etc.) you can allocate to this ongoing project, establish which metrics you will track to define your success … and then build your marketing and engagement strategy. If you're not sure how to proceed, consider hiring a consultant. Be cautious: Not everyone who touts themselves as a social media expert can justify the claim. Do your research. Ask about previous experience in the financial services arena — they should show examples of their work and the data/reports to support the claims. A consultant who is unfamiliar with insurance and securities regulations around marketing and advertising may only lead to future challenges.
Reason No. 3: Neglecting to create a content calendar.
The Problem: Without a calendar, you may quickly become weary trying to deliver a consistent flow of content. Over time, people tend to become inconsistent and begin to neglect certain platforms.
The Solution: Create a content calendar. Consistency is a key to social media success. However, consistency in what you post is not enough. Building a strategy and knowing your audience (needs, wants, challenges, etc.) will help you consistently create content that is relevant to your prospective audience. Consider designating certain days each week or month to post content around a specific theme (e.g. budgeting tips every Monday). This will help you stay on track and maintain focus for the long haul.
Reason No. 4: Choosing the wrong platform(s).
The Problem: Oftentimes, advisors try to tackle too many platforms because they think they must be visible everywhere. For some, that may be the case, but there is no cookie-cutter approach to social media.
The Solution: Do your research and determine which platforms provide the greatest exposure to your target audience. Start your social media efforts there. You can grow your online presence over time, so don't try to tackle too much all at once.
Reason No. 5: Selling instead of educating.
The Problem: No one wants to be sold. A heavy dose of sales materials about what you offer may turn off prospective clients. Selling products and services in an industry where those same products and services are available through many channels makes you a commodity.
The Solution: If you're going to sell anything, sell them your personality, experience, and your knowledge. In other words, provide education on how you as an individual are different (morals, beliefs, values, etc.). People do business with people they like and trust. Differentiation comes from educating your prospects on the concept of working with you. They can buy what you offer somewhere else, but there is only one YOU.
Focus on these core areas and you will maximize your potential for social media success. Be patient and the business will come with every new relationship that you build. With that said, what's your strategy or best practice for social media?

Cheap Flights to Zanzibar, Tanzania
Zanzibar is a beautiful chain of island on the Indian Ocean, just 31 miles from the coast of Tanzania. Even though the islands belong to the country of Tanzania, they enjoy some degree of self government. Travelers booking flights to Zanzibar will discover islands with a rich history, beautiful beaches, a lush interior and many spice crops that have given the island the nickname of the Spice Islands. Most travelers booking flights to Zanzibar will arrive in Zanzibar City, on the island of Unguja. Zanzibar City was founded by Persian traders and later occupied by the Portuguese and the British until independence in 1963. Centuries of Persian, Omani and European influence have created a unique Zanzibari culture. The colonial area of Zanzibar City is known as Stone Town. Visit the Old Fort, the Palace of Wonders (a former Sultan's residence), the Old Persian baths (built in the 19th century) and Livingstone's House (another Sultan's palace that was taken over by the British and used by Dr David Livingstone himself). Zanzibar offers many beautiful beaches; where brilliant white sands meet the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The islands are located close to the equator, with minimal seasonal variations, so travelers can book their flights to Zanzibar all year around. The tropical setting is ideal for spice crops, experience a tour of a spice farm and enjoy the aroma of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper. Visit the lush Jozani Forest (the island's national park) and admire its colony of Zanzibar Red Colobus monkeys. Zanzibari food is spicy and includes plenty of fresh seafood.

This could get ugly. In a stark reversal of "no second acts in American lives," AIG announced on Wednesday it's decided to rejoin the mortgage world.
The insurance and investment giant said it had launched a new business unit called Connective Mortgage Advisory Co. The new company, which recently made its first correspondent mortgage purchase, "draws upon AIG's investment expertise and the experience of its mortgage insurance subsidiary, United Guaranty Corp., to identify and buy residential whole loan mortgages as investments."
The company notes "all purchases will be subject to rigorous underwriting and risk management standards," and there no plans for Connective to conduct any direct lending or securitization.
Connective is focused on identifying residential first-mortgage loans to be purchased as long-term investments for AIG. For loans purchased as investments, AIG will manage the loan-servicing component.
"Direct investment in residential mortgage loans offers attractive investment returns and enables a proactive approach to managing mortgage risk," William Dooley, AIG executive vice president of investments and financial services, said.
Connective will establish correspondent relationships with lenders, underwrite loans and provide support throughout the loan purchase process.
United Guaranty was established in Greensboro, N.C., in 1963 and is a company of American International Group.
The Treasury Department sold its remaining 16% of AIG's common shares for $7.6 billion in December, putting an end to the government's 50-month shotgun financial tryst with the global insurer.

This might be a first! The book Sleepy Kittens, labeled "as seen in the film Despicable Me from Universal Pictures," is a movie tie-in title that is really and truly featured in the actual movie. Talk about amazing and clever product placement. I love it when characters in a movie read or discuss books. When Meg Ryan's character mentioned Noel Streatfeild's children's books in You've Got Mail, I sure wanted to read them all. I bet I wasn't the only one. The 3-D, animated comedy Despicable Me releases in theaters today (July 9th) and, yes, the board book with cute finger puppet kittens is in the movie.
Three little kittens loved to play. They had fun in the sun all day. Then their mother came out and said, "Time for kittens to go to bed!"
Sleepy Kittens (Despicable Me) by Cinco Paul, Ken Daurio, Illustrated by Eric Guillon; LB Kids (May 2010); ISBN 9780316083812; 10 pages; Board Book
Book Source: Review copy provided by publisher
In Sleepy Kittens, a pink mama cat announces that it is bedtime for her three chubby little kittens. The kittens have other ideas and try their best to stall the inevitable. Smart mama cat, not to be outdone, has a few tricks up her pink paw and lovingly soothes them to sleep. The short text is written in rhyming verse.
If you watch this movie trailer, about two minutes into the video the Sleepy Kitten book appears. Gru, the villain, is reading the book to the orphaned girls. Ok, ok...so the actual book isn't exactly the same as the one in the movie but it is pretty darn close. The three finger puppets are there but you don't manipulate them through holes like Gru does. And, the text isn't exactly the same either but still it is pretty cool that kids can actually read the story for themselves and interact with the finger puppet kittens. Kids can even make the kittens drink the milk out of the milk bowl, just like in the movie. My kindergarten-aged daughter thought the book was fun to play with and even made up her own story while operating the puppets. My toddler son isn't able to manipulate the puppets as well as his older sister but seems amused by this novelty. One thing I noticed -- the roly-poly kittens have such short little legs I'm surprised they can do anything but sleep! The three finger puppets, made out of flat, felt-like material, are glued into the back cover and cannot be removed.
Other LB Kids Despicable Me movie tie-in books include My Dad the Super Villain (picture book), The World's Greatest Villain (picture book) and Despicable Me: The Junior Novel.
Studded with stars like Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Miranda Cosgrove, Julie Andrews, Despicable Me sounds like it is going to be plenty humorous. I'm not so sure I'm on board with the funny name, but I guess it kind of grows on you. I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I can gather from the production notes, here's the basic plot: Gru is a super-villain of the most wicked, evil sort. He even has plans to steal the moon with the help of his little, yellow minions. He meets his match when three little orphaned girls end up at his door.

Arthur Dawson is my 1st cousin 2x removed – our common ancestors are my 2x great grandparents John Dawson and Ellen Gawthrop.
Arthur is the brother of Prince Dawson and John Dawson – his parents are John Dawson and Elizabeth Bradley. He was born 18 July 1879 and lived at Steeton with Eastburn about three miles from Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Before I found his WW1 service records I knew that Arthur married Lily Cockshott sometime in Q2 1906 and their marriage is recorded in the Keighley registration district. They had one child – a son, Eric born in 1909.
Arthur enlisted on 30 August 1916 in Keighley and was assigned to 7th West Yorkshire Regiment. His service number is 238029. He was 37 years old. At the time of his conscription he was living at 19 School Street, Steeton with Eastburn. His trade is given as 'mason'.
The enlistment documents also show that Arthur had previous service in the Royal Engineers.
His service papers provided confirmation of the date of marriage to Lily – 10 April 1906. They also give Eric's date of birth as 21 October 1909 – so more information for my tree. However his service record through up a bit of surprise. There is another son shown – Alan with a date of birth of 3 March 1911.
I have the 1911 census record for Arthur, Lily and Eric – but no Alan.
I have been able to find a birth for Alan Dawson at the right time and in the right location but no trace of him in the 1911 census. So, I searched for a death and found a record for Alan Dawson who died in Leeds in 1977 with a date of birth given as 3 April 1911.
Could this be the answer to my conundrum? Maybe 3 March 1911 was incorrect. The 1911 census was undertaken on the night of 2 April 1911. So Alan could have been born the following day and that is why he is not recorded. I'm happy with this solution and have now added Alan to my family tree.
Anyway, back to Arthur and his war service.
It seems that Arthur was at home until 3 January 1917. The following day he embarked for France, returning home again after 105 days on 18 April 1917. There is reference to him serving in the Royal Defence Corps (RDC) – the role of this regiment was to provide security and guard duties inside the United Kingdom.
Arthur was finally discharged on 23 March 1919.

Would this one work with squeezeslave?http://cgi.ebay.com/G904-USB-2-0-3D-AUDIO-SOUND-CARD-ADAPTER-VIRTUAL-/250754507390?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6222227e#ht_2976wt_907If not, is there any documentation as to what chipsets are supported?Thanks!
You need a sound card that gets detected and added correctly as a working sound card then Squeezeslave will work with it. So whether you are installing 08.10 or 10.04 builds will affect your success rate with these types of devices. As with many other add in products manufacturers often change the internal chip or other components but the external plastics remain the same...so even an apparently identical unit sometimes fails to work.The sound car in the url above is not one we've tested I'm afraid so I cant provide any guidance on whether it will be detected and added

The Linux Foundation has confirmed that NASA will be switching to Debian 6 Linux for its laptop requirements inside the Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) operations.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>

Keith Chuvala works for United Space Alliance, a NASA contractor overseeing the developers in charge of writing and integrating software for the Station's "OpsLAN" — a network of laptops that provide the ISS crew with vital capabilities for day-to-day operations, from telling the astronauts where they are, to inventory control of the equipment used, to interfacing with the cameras that capture photos and videos.
"We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable — one that would give us in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust, or adapt, we could."
Linux Foundation developer courses have been delivered to augment the team's existing knowledge with Linux-specific skills, and prepare them for developing apps related specifically to the needs of the ISS.
The team further confirms that, "USA/NASA is as heterogeneous as it gets. They had a heavy Debian Linux deployment but also various versions of RHEL/Centos."
Along with the ongoing laptop support, a new challenge for Chuvala's team is headed to the ISS — Robonaut (R2). Designed to take over some of the astronaut's responsibilities, R2 will be the first humanoid robot in space. Running on Linux, the robot can be manipulated by onboard astronauts with ground controllers commanding it into position and performing operations.

Over seventy-five years ago, in a remote corner of Northwest England, Kangol was born. Founder Jaques Spreiregen created the name by combining the K from knitting, the ANG from angora, and the OL from wool as we specialised in knitted hats made from those yarns. To celebrate our anniversary, we introduce a special collection of styles representing different eras and featuring heritage styling details such as the original Knitting Needle Logo as well as a new woven tip inspired by the original military tip design. The style numbers represent the year each shape was invented: The Spitfire 1938; The 504 Cap 1954; The Casual 1983; and the 575 Cap 2013. The hats are knit in luxurious summer worsted weight wool, traditionally used in fine suiting material.

Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture for Dummies
by Robert Hanmer
When a classic text such as Buschman's multi-volume Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture is reissued by the publisher in a more accessible version, such as the "For Dummies" series, it's worth seeing how the new presentation works.
The author, who has spent much of his career working with and teaching patterns, is well qualified for the task. The result, however, is mixed. The book does a good job of presenting the concept of a pattern and explaining its benefits. However, the choices of patterns he lists are questionable. He uses the same pipes and filters, master-slave, forwarder-receiver, and MVC found in the original work. But when it comes time to adding the Gang of Four (GoF) patterns, the author is MIA. He frequently refers to the book as a seminal influence, but useful patterns such as command, decorator, and visitor are not explained (the last two don't even appear in the index). Many of the remaining GoF entries get short shrift (bridge, façade,and prototype get one passing mention each.) I believe that readers who have some knowledge of GoF will expect to see more coverage in this volume and be disappointed.
Likely because this book is in the "For Dummies" series, it does not include implementation code. The closest it comes is UML diagrams and, surprisingly, some CRC cards. I expected that the lack of code would prove to be a more serious limitation than it was. The author's ability to stay at a conceptual level but anchor it in specific examples is workable. This book will be useful to managers who need a greater understanding of patterns, but don't need to implement them themselves.

Now that the fiscal cliff deal lets 401(k) participants convert their pretax savings into a Roth IRA plan, advisors have an opportunity to guide retirement plan sponsors through the complexities of the American Taxpayer Relief Act.
In a "Rethinking the Roth" webinar on Tuesday, 401(k) expert Bob Kaplan of ING urged retirement plan advisors to grow their business by showing sponsors how plan participants can now convert pretax dollars to an after-tax Roth account. Sponsors may not yet realize that the tax act opens up Roth conversions to a broad range of plan participants, Kaplan said.
"A lot of advisors I talk to downplay the Roth, saying people don't want it. But anytime there's talk about taxes going up, people want to consider it. What a great opportunity to demonstrate your value," said Kaplan, ING U.S.'s national retirement consultant and 401(k) technical expert. "A lot of young people have started to do the Roth conversion, so don't assume you know which employees want to do it. We've seen across-the-board participation in all ages and income levels."
Demonstrating Value to Plan Sponsors
The House and Senate approved the fiscal cliff deal on Jan. 1, and President Barack Obama signed the Taxpayer Relief Act into law immediately after the vote. The legislation sets out a new rule allowing 401(k) participants to complete intraplan Roth conversions if the employer offers designated Roth accounts under the plan, regardless of whether the individual is allowed to take a distribution out of the plan, according to financial planning guru Michael Kitces. The transaction, Kitces said, will be taxed in a similar manner to any other Roth conversion.
An advisor can demonstrate his or her value to a sponsor by showing how the new tax act allows a plan to be amended to allow in-plan conversions, Kaplan said, adding that such amendments are voluntary and not required by law.
"If a plan already has a Roth deferral feature, focus on tax diversification," he suggested. "If a plan does not have the Roth deferral feature, talk with the plan sponsor about adding it."
Roth contributions are typically most appropriate for younger, lower-income workers, Kaplan continued, while Roth conversions tend to benefit older and higher-income workers who anticipate higher tax rates in the future. Using the Roth for estate planning purposes may provide heirs with tax-free income, he said.
Taxable Wealth Is Key to Conversion
However, tax law professors Robert Bloink and William Byrnes point out that conversions can also be beneficial for younger savers.
"These clients may not have reached their full earning potential and may fall into a lower tax bracket today than they expect to reach later in life. Further, these taxpayers have a longer period before retirement, meaning that the funds converted will have more time to grow tax-free within the Roth," Bloink and Byrnes write in a Jan. 15 blog post for AdvisorOne.
For older savers, they add, the primary downside of converting a large chunk of 401(k) money this year is that ordinary income taxes have been raised for 2013 for many high-income taxpayers. "If the conversion would cause the client to cross the $400,000/$450,000 income threshold for higher income, capital gains and dividend taxes in 2013, converting may not be worth the cost," they write.
According to a Tax Facts Online article on IRA eligibility published earlier this month, to establish a Roth individual retirement plan, an individual must:
- Have compensation, either earned income of an employee or self-employed person, or alimony
- Not have adjusted gross income in 2012 of $183,000 or above in the case of a taxpayer filing a joint return, of $125,000 or above in the case of a taxpayer filing a single or head-of-household return, or of $10,000 or above in the case of a married individual filing separately.
An individual who satisfies these requirements may establish and contribute to a Roth IRA even if he or she has attained age 70½. While Roth accounts don't offer an upfront tax break, all withdrawals are tax-free after an individual has held the account for five years and reaches the age of 59½.

How to Choose Cheap Escorts
Everyone has heard of the common Internet advertisements for cheap escorts. However, the search for the best ones might prove to be more difficult than you think.
Cheap is always good, but what happens when the cost of the service that you are getting is greater than what you would have expected. You will then end up giving up and going elsewhere. These mistakes can lead to frustration, but it is definitely not an ideal situation to find yourself in.
Of course, there is also the possibility that you could be dealing with unscrupulous people. Maybe there are a lot of scammers involved and the company or person offering services is just trying to take advantage of your desperation. There is the possibility that the service that you get is fake. Again, this can be a frustrating experience.
It is not uncommon for escorts to use different websites to find a good and honest company. Many of these escort agencies, and so many other people who offer such services, are online. This means that you can easily find one or several agencies and compare them side by side to see who is the best.
The reviews also vary between reviews. That is why it is important to read and analyze them. This will give you a better understanding of what you are getting into, but it will also help you decide whether to trust the company that you are looking at.
Of course, you will have to consider the agency's reputation for honesty and reliability. If the reviews and the agency's profile do not look promising, you may want to steer clear of it.
Cheap Escorts Newbury BA12 Brothels
Just because the agency promises you a lot does not mean that the services will be so good. You should have confidence in your own judgment on how to proceed, and take your time when selecting the agency.
Even if the agency is going to give you a good price for the services that you receive, you must be aware that there are some fees that you must consider. Most of the time, these fees are related to the quality of the services that you are going to receive.
Some agencies charge a set rate for services, while others do not. In this case, you must be aware of the difference between the prices and the actual costs of the services that you are going to receive.
You can also expect to pay a service fee when you sign up for an escort website. If you don't have one yet, this is something that you must know about.
In addition to the service fee, you should also consider the cost of travel time. This should not be ignored, since it is a very important factor to consider.
As you can see, there are many things that you should think about when looking for cheap escorts. While there are a lot of companies that offer cheap escorts, most of them are scam artists.
