Gines Francisco Soriano (July 6, 1928 – February 21, 2004), also known as Nestor de Villa, was a Filipino actor frequently cast in musical films. He was a gifted dancer, often paired with frequent on-screen partner Nida Blanca in both movies and television. His dancing talent led some people to call him the "Fred Astaire of the Philippines", though the same moniker had also been given to Bayani Casimiro.

Early life and later career
De Villa was born Gines Francisco Soriano on July 6, 1928 in then municipality of Cabanatuan in the province of Nueva Ecija. He was a pre-medical student when he was signed by LVN Pictures. His father was disappointed by his decision to become an actor, and the two became estranged. However, they were reconciled by LVN President Doña Sisang de Leon, who arranged to have de Villa's father secretly attend one of his movie premieres.

He made his first movie with LVN, Amor-Mio (My Love), in 1951. The following year, he teamed up with another LVN contract star, Nida Blanca, for Romansa sa Nayon. The film's success popularized the Nestor-Nida "love team", though in real-life, de Villa would marry Marilu Cacho Soriano from the wealthy and socially prominent Cacho family.

He remained at LVN until 1961, when the studio discontinued making films. He then transferred to Sampaguita Pictures where in 1962 he made his Sampaguita debut in Tugtuging Bukid (Farm Music), together with Gloria Romero. In the 1960s, he was nominated three times for the FAMAS Best Actor award—for Mga Yapak ng Walang Bakas (1962); Naku Yabang (1964); and Siete Dolores (1968).  De Villa and Blanca also appeared together on an ABS-CBN television show, The Nida-Nestor Show.

In the 1980s, de Villa made his screen comeback when he was again paired with Blanca in two movies for Viva Films: Forgive and Forget, which also starred Sharon Cuneta and William Martinez and Saan Darating Ang Umaga? (Where Will the Morning Come), a family drama co-starring Maricel Soriano, Nida Blanca and Jaypee de Guzman.

He was posthumously inducted to the Philippines Eastwood City Walk Of Fame in December 2005.

Personal life
He was married to Marilu Cacho, has three sons and daughters-in-law, Jeric and Marissa, Gicky and Malu, Joby and Cindy. His only daughter Karel is married to Toti Belda. His grandson Paul Soriano is a son of Jeric, and is also a TV and commercial director.

Stop Marketing Your College Like A Timeshare
Ryan Craig Contributor
Don't believe the hype. Everybody complains about the food, but at the end of every semester, everybody's 10 lbs. heavier and heading for the gym. Doesn't seem like the food was that bad after all, does it?
- Yale promotional video c. 1990
Every time I read an article about campus dining, I think about this segment of the old Yale promo video. In fact, this quarter-century-old loopy video has proven to be a prism through which my former roommates and I view college life – ours and everyone's.
We must have watched it 100 times. Soon, snippets from the video entered our daily lexicon:
"Every time we sing, we win." (Singing group member engaged in staged conversation about singing at hockey games.)
"It's a friendly place. Yale is nothing like my home." (Comment from student who came from an abusive home?)
"It's a myth that Midwesterners get worse treatment, 'cause I'm from Milwaukee, and I'm practically a celebrity here." (Fake laughter ensues.)
Cheesy lines aside, the overall thrust of the video was a realistic depiction of energetic and busy students interacting with faculty and each other in a gritty urban environment. The video didn't attempt to whitewash New Haven; "the best thing about New Haven" was the many community service opportunities. And at least half of the video focused on academic work. There were scenes from Chinese, physics, history, drama, English and biology courses. A physics professor didn't sugarcoat what he's there for: "The students are curious, they have high standards, you can tax them, you can work them, they respond in such positive ways that it makes it a genuine pleasure to teach here."
The video felt realistic to us. (Everybody did complain about the food!) Watching it over and over, we began to joke that when we're old and our memories have faded, at least we'll have the promo video as our shared college experience. Every time we sing, we win!
Contrast this old promo video with the way many colleges market themselves today. Baylor highlights facilities, sports, concerts, theatrical performances, a really big bonfire, fire juggling and what appears to be a marriage proposal. Northwest University (Kirkland, WA) is a Christian rock concert interspersed with images of students at the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Opera House, sports, buildings and more sports. University of Alabama Birmingham shows buildings, sports, fireworks and puppets. University of Rochester's promo video is a rap, which might not be so bad, except the students are rapping about sports, snow and how their busy schedules mean they can't "keep up with Khloe, Kourtney and Kim." Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI) features breakfast, bikes, skateboards, swings, hanging out, shopping, line dancing and a lot of scenes at the beach. This video won the 2013 Consortium of College and University Media Centers award for best promotional video.
Many of these videos make timeshare marketing look educational. Because much of what currently passes for higher education marketing is little more than lifestyle marketing. Many college marketing efforts are only slightly more serious than the widely lampooned sorority recruitment videos that reportedly cost hundreds of thousands to produce (I'm thinking of you, University of Miami Delta Gamma) and, in the case of ASU's Alpha Phi, involved shooting from a helicopter. YouTube gets confused as well, because the end of the Alpha Phi video suggests two related videos: Miami Delta Gamma, and "Land of the Sea: Epic Exumas & Barbados Sailing Adventure."
Some at least pay lip service to learning. In its promotional video, "Choose to be Extraordinary," High Point University cites Aristotle, DaVinci, Beethoven, Einstein and Mother Teresa before cutting to its President Nido Qubein, who says: "High Point University is first and foremost an institution of higher learning. But students and families are attracted here because we also invest in the idea of higher living. That's why we say: choose to be extraordinary." Any pretense of educational purpose is undermined by the fact that President Qubein comes across like he's trying to sell you a timeshare.
Yale's most recent promo video "That's Why I Chose Yale," is an over-the-top musical that begins with a tour of lavishly renovated residential colleges. It's nearly 10 minutes before there's any presentation of academic opportunities. While the songs may be catchy, the realism of the old promo video (which we later learned was appropriately titled "A Time For Learning") has been left behind – a relic of a bygone era.
It seems unlikely that this kind of fantasy will continue to sell higher education as effectively going forward. New America Foundation's College Decisions Survey revealed that the top reasons students cite for going to college are: to improve employment opportunities (91%); to make more money (90%); to get a good job (89%). Telling students your school is all about fun, friends and football will convince fewer and fewer students and their families to risk a potentially debilitating financial decision by investing in your institution; families increasingly recognize that college is a much more consequential financial decision than buying a timeshare. College marketers who continue to pump out timeshare-like drivel will find themselves out of position, and perhaps out of work. The sooner they can take their talents back to timeshare or other infomercials, the better.
I'm certainly not arguing for a reality TV approach to college marketing – definitely not of the Khloe, Kourtney and Kim variety. But if your institution is not ready for cinema vérité, at least focus on the fantasies that matter to today's students: academic programs that are relevant to employers, internships, placement outcomes and career paths.

COUVE TRONCHUDA (PORTUGAL CABBAGE) ORGANIC GARDENING:
A substitute is not necessarily an inferior. This certainly holds good in the case of couve tronchuda, or Portugal cabbage; the big white, fleshy ribs of the outer leaves are delicious when cooked as seakale. When the outer leaves have been used there remains the heart, for cooking cabbage fashion; it is tastier for having been touched by frost.
Ready for Use. November and onwards.
Sowing, Planting Out.
Small sowings can be made at intervals, on a seed bed, from March to May; the plants are set out 2 ft. apart each way. General culture is as for cabbage.

Using QT in ROS Catkin Packages

	<time class="timeago postlist-meta" datetime="2014-03-25">March 25, 2014</time>

Rviz plugins are basically QT widgets. CMakeLists.txt of the ROS package using QT needs to be modified accordingly for the compilation. ROS wiki provides several tutorials/examples about how to write a plugin for Rviz and how to configure the package. However, these materials are mainly for rosbuild. This article introduces how to use QT in ROS catkin packages, in other words, how to use QT for a package of ROS Groovy/Hydro or later. This article shows how to write the CMakeLists.txt for a package, which uses librviz for visualization.

Of course, our attention was focussed entirely upon our clash with our nearest and dearest and the win, completing a notable double over Bassett this season, was one to savour. It's certainly worth waiting for the MTV coverage of the match to be published on this site tomorrow to see a real belter of a game. Minety's win was all the more remarkable because, after kicking down the slope in the first half, Minety were able to shut out Bassett in the second half. Four fine tries brought the added bonus of a "bonus" point but more importantly, the run of losses up to Christmas has now been halted and Andy Grayson and captain Tom Claxton can begin to plot a second half of the season challenge on that top three slot.
Elsewhere, top of the table Combe Down kept up their relentless march on the title with another crushing win, this time by 50 – 0 at Sutton Benger while Avonvale in second place easily overcame Calne. Third place Melksham, whose impressive pre Christmas run included a last gasp victory over Minety, were again winners against bottom of the table Supermarine, who Minety entertain at Minety Fields next weekend.
4th placed Warminster enjoyed a high scoring win over a resurgent Pewsey while 5th place Trwobridge defeated Chippenham in a close run match. In effect, all of the top half of the table teams, with the exception of Bassett, won while all of the bottom half of the table teams, with the notable exception of Minety, lost.
A win next week against basement side Supermarine will do Minety no harm, especially since 5th placed Trowbridge travel to Combe Down and 6th placed Bassett travel to 4th placed Warminster.
The match between Minety and Combe Down in Division 3 goes down in the records as an Away Walk Over, but that doesn't quite tell the story of a dramatic 30 minutes of rugby at Minety Fields on Saturday. Steve Wilson's team started the match under strength in numbers and when a disagreement on the field involving several players from both sides resulted in both teams being reduced further by two yellow cards aside, Minety were down to the bare minimum required to compete in a match. When a further Minety player was injured and had to leave the pitch the referee declared the match over, with Combe Down pocketing maximum points. It is worth clarifying that Minety will not be docked any points because of tthe AWO result.
Elsewhere, runaway leaders Amesbury were not involved and Combe Down were able to close the gap at the top. Warminster surprisingly dropped points in a home draw with lowly Melksham while Swindon overcame Bardford in an epic 44-43 match.

Yes, you can increase your mind's focus and drive thoughts toward specific goals with clarity. To do this, we have to start with the body.
Through practice we can sharpen and focus which of our senses—and which aspect of them—we would like to pay attention to, even to the exclusion of all our other senses.
We can then use this process to sharpen our internal experience so we can get a hold of seemingly wild or runaway thoughts that won't let you focus on the task at hand—or the imminent deadline.
Sometimes our internal experience, which is both a coupling of internal and interpreted external stimuli, overwhelms directed thought. Focused thought.
We get to the point where our internal prioritization becomes something close to mercurial; we have difficulty separating those elements that truly need attention from those the mind seems to prioritize based on whimsy or the call of some emotional context.
One way to start steeling the mind and enforcing focused prioritization is to tune and specify the influx of data coming into our sensory vehicle, the body.
If we look at the body as our metaphorical mind, we can understand that it is continually being assaulted with data and information. Through the process of evolution, sense prioritization ties in directly with our ability to stay alive and directs thought and action toward movement that satisfies our continued existence.
However, this automatic filtering of environmental stimuli can be mind-directed, meaning we can choose—at will—to focus on any particular sensory experience to direct our thoughts toward a prioritized purpose.
It is through practice with tuning this bombardment of external information that we can then tune our internal environment. All in all, it's a matter of focusing the mind.
The benefit of being able to control the mind's awareness of the body, and putting directives to it that it must obey, generates an internal clarity that we can then use to focus thought. The difference between the physical body and thought is that the physical body has a concrete experience, a definite association of boundary and reception of data that is, for the most part, universally accepted as truth.
Thought, on the other hand, is fluid, dynamic, and open to a world, a universe, of concrete and ethereal boundary or even no-boundary. Many of us don't realize that we can control the internal experience, this mélange of happenstance and experiential fluidity.
Commitment to a focused thought (project, task, etc.) cannot have social propriety attached.
An example is you are writing, or involved with some other focused task, and someone wants your attention for a non-emergency. Put up a hand, or finger (how many of you jumped to that middle finger image? No, no. Be nice.) in a way that denotes you would like them to wait a moment while you finish your thought. (If they're worth anything—meaning they value you and your expression—they'll wait for you.) Then give them attention in your time, your terms.
This boundary setting is an important part of showing the rest of humanity that there are limits on intrusion into your experience.
You teach people how to behave toward you.
This is prioritization. You matter. Your thoughts matter.
You don't do this in a rude way, unless the situation calls for rudeness, but it is a necessary part of the process supporting focus.
Now people who are able to focus their minds to the exclusion of their environment remove themselves from that awareness—which can be harmful. You have to determine whether or not an environment is safe enough for the level of focus required for the task you may need to perform.
Sometimes I fake listening to music. We can trick our mind into pattens by engaging in patterns. We can also trick it into patterns by associating sensory stimulus.
If I put my earbuds in my ears and listen to music, and the music eases me into a more relaxed mindset, or to a more focused mindset, I get into my own safe little world of creativity.
I can use the physical stimulus of putting my earbuds on to generate that same internal focus.
With the earbuds, body recognizes 3 types of stimuli, primarily: the pressure/feel of the earbuds in my ears; the sound of music in my ears; the reduction of sound of the environment.
What I can do to help my focus, without removing full awareness of my environment, is to periodically wear the headphones and then turn off the music playing in them. I still have 2 of the 3 primary stimuli affecting me without terribly reducing my awareness of my environment.
This is an example of reduction, where one reduces the stimuli in stages, while still reaping the benefits of the original pattern.
Take your wonderfully glorious index finger and hold it up in front of you about a foot away. I want you to pay great attention to that finger. Notice its curving shape, the smooth creases at the bendy parts, the color and shading difference, scars you may have, etc.
Stay with that a moment, and really look at your finger as if for the first time.
Still keeping the finger up, I want you to focus on a far away object. This can be a tree, a picture on a wall, a person, etc. With the same depth you explored with your finger, I want you to examine this object. Notice the things that stand out to you right away, and then pay attention to what doesn't necessarily stand out. Is there a color, shading, or texture you can pick up you hadn't before? Are there patterns in it that flow into one another? Are there lines or angles that pique your interest?
Stay with this object for a little while longer. If you feel the need to exhale and relax a little more, feel free to do so.
Now go back to your finger. Is there anything about it you hadn't noticed on your first inspection? How about the different sizes in shapes from one joint to the other? The difference in width? How about the outside line of the finger—how it flows, dips in, bulges out?
Spend a moment with this, and then I want you to focus on something halfway between your finger and the last object you observed. Explore this object, landscape, person with the same attention you gave the other two.
When you've looked at this enough, look back to the far away object again. Try to pick up small or large details you hadn't noticed before.
Now, before you switch back to the finger, I want you to pay attention to how your mind feels as you look over this object. Do you feel calmer? More agitated? Do the colors bring about certain feelings? The shapes?
Now when you look back to your finger, I want you to pay attention to the way your mind feels from the shift in focus from the far away object to the finger. This is sometimes hard to define in words, but you may notice a slipping ease from one focused location to the other. You may do this more than once to focus on that feeling and how it is expressed in you.
This feeling of slipping ease is an important demonstration of shifting in focus from the physical world to focus on your internal world.
Also, if you were following directions and were deeply involved with the objects you were observing, you may have noticed forgetting that you were holding up your finger the whole time. Most people don't realize certain physical acts one can perform by directing your mind elsewhere.
This exercise, and others practiced, helps set up patterns of focus that also shift us into a different level of awareness about our environment, about ourselves. They help tune and train directing the mind's attention, and thus, focus. And the more we train focusing on something, the easier it is to reduce attention from distracting things.
This directly applies to focusing our thoughts on a project, writing or otherwise.
We start with training the mind-body connection because that is a concrete experience easily identified, stimulated, and controlled; the body is something that directly affects the processing and flow of the mind.
In truth, we are training the mind right off the bat, but we do best if we can get the body in a state where it isn't using its sensory apparatuses as an excuse to distract us from our internal directives.
We also have an emotional mechanism within us that can distract us in the same way. Underlying thoughts that, if not dealt with or expressed properly, are their own stress and make difficult the ease of directing our mind to tasks with deadlines, or our life's purpose.
Dealing with the emotional mechanism is another blog entirely. Keeping a journal and expressing yourself in a stream of consciousness manner will help you get to the underlying emotional point so that you can free your mind to write, draw, design, speak.
Exercise is also another expression that helps the creatively expressing mind. Discipline of the body disciplines the mind, disciplines the body, etc.
I also have a 20-minute audio meditation that is yours free by just signing up at the tenetsoftruth.com site. It will help you focus your mind to relax the body—or parts of the body—whenever you need. That site is updated about once a month due to the depth of the subjects and time I have available.
A few of the things that have helped me through the years achieve higher levels of focus are; meditation, people watching (where I can lose myself in the subtleties of variety, observing for pattern, etc.), and exercise. I also am subject to intense problem-solving with people I teach. This bumps me to a higher level of focus and is tied in with my curiosity to solve for a situation.
Having a degree of curiosity about what you're doing is also a way to focus.
Imagine the cat ready to pounce on the string you're pulling slowly across the floor. A cat, and other animals—humans included—demonstrate an intense focus because of their interest in a subject.
If you are having difficulty working on some task because of lack of interest, try to find a way to look at it anew or from a different perspective. Just the attempt at trying that will increase your focus for the work at hand.
I'll be addressing that in detail in a future blog.

The past two months have featured our owners, Garret and Karen Pfitzer. As our busiest time of year comes to a close, we thought it was time to Spotlight our local Tech, Alden Good. Alden's dedication to service has allowed him to become a staple name to so many in Sheridan. He's a great person to have on the team and, as you will see, quite the photographer.
I would say my favorite social media platform is Facebook. It's a good way to see the local "happenings" along with being able to stay connected with friends and family. I am a big time picture taker and it is a blast to see what people snap shots of, along with the comments that follow after a picture is posted.
2. What is the best part about your job?
The best part of my job as a pest control tech is meeting new customers and helping them create a happy home without all the pests. In this job you have to work with your customer to understand and meet their needs, rather than simply showing up to do the work. I feel it is important to build a relationship with each customer.
3. Where are you from originally?
I am from a small town called Mason in Michigan.
4. Can you tell us how you first became involved with Pfitzer Pest Control?
I started working with Pfitzer Pest Control in 2013, when they entered the Sheridan market.
5. Do you come from a large or a small family?
I am the middle child with two other siblings. I would have to say that the middle child is the test for all mothers!
6. How about your family today.
My family includes my wife Kathy, and three children Dylan, Courtney and Ryan. I am a dog person so I have to include Ty, a Mountain Cur hunting dog; man's best friend.
7. What activities in Sheridan or the surrounding area do you enjoy?
It is hard to not to find something to do in this part of the country – from the Big Horn Mountains to visiting Main Street in Sheridan. My personal favorite is simply driving around, seeing the new roads and country surrounding Sheridan.
8. What is your favorite view or spot for relaxation in or near Sheridan?
I spent several years as a cowboy therefore my #1 home away from home would have to be all the creeks and hills were I spent my days on a horse. I also enjoy taking my family out shooting, seeing all of the wildlife. When you spend your days outside, it is pleasurable to watch the four seasons come and go. Above all, the foothills of the Wolf Mountains is where I find peace.
9. Name a fun fact about yourself that most people do not know.
I have a longboard. Skateboarding is something I have enjoyed since I was a kid.
10. What are, in your opinion, the top three "things" about Sheridan?
This one is difficult as there are so many! The country side is so big, and with my job I get to see quite a bit of it. I'd recommend the view of Sheridan from the top of Red Grade and also the view of Ranchester and Dayton from Sand Turn. A bit farther out is the Low Powder River country. The fun part of the Sheridan area is that you can go from rolling hills to rough and rugged country in a matter of minutes.

Within the cemeteries of Medina County, Ohio there can be found many headstones marking the final resting places of men who served our nation during times of war. These monuments tend to make us pause longer than most. We ponder the sacrifices made and our gaze upon these markers carries down with it gratitude and respect. While the tombstones of some veterans are clearly engraved with details of the individual's military service, others are not. Hiding in plain sight, they simply stand there quietly waiting for someone to recognize them. Identifying them requires specific knowledge usually found by searching military records.
Frederic Jones, who is buried in the Old Town Graveyard in Medina, is said to be one such `hidden veteran'. It has been reported by various persons over the years that this Fred Jones was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. After reviewing the evidence, it is my opinion that this Fred Jones is absolutely not a veteran of the Revolutionary War. While I cannot pinpoint exactly how the mixup occurred, I do believe I can show why the mixup exists.
Let me begin with the two primary sources in this debate:
1. A military record exists for a Fred R. Jones who enlisted May 5, 1777 in Rhinebeck, Duchess County, New York as a private in Lieutenant Cornelius Elmandorph's Company, commanded by John R. Livingston, the proprietor of the Powder Mill in Rhinebeck. Fred served one month and 27 days before being discharged on June 30, 1777. The military record is an actual document and not in dispute. That being said, all this means is that a man with the common name of Fred Jones served briefly in the Revolutionary War. We'll call this `Dot #1'.
2. A headstone in the Old Town Graveyard (Old Medina Cemetery). It has been said to read: "Frederic Jones, died Aug. 20, 1811, aged 60y". Do the math and that means he was born in 1751. This is `Dot #2'.
How these two `dots' were connected is still a mystery to me. Any presumption that they are the same man is certainly a stretch without some form of corroborating evidence. None exists. Where was this man in the years between 1777 and 1811? When or why did he come from New York to Ohio? Why are there no family members or descendants either buried with him or found in Ohio afterwards? These are very important questions that need answering if one is to make the connection between a man who was in New York in 1777 and one who died in Ohio in 1811. That's 34 years and a lot of miles.
THE HEADSTONE
The biggest problem with this debate is the thing which led me to notice it in the first place. The Fred Jones buried in Medina didn't die in 1811. The tombstone was read incorrectly. Look at the enlarged photo below:
Specifically, focus on the year of his death. That 1811 doesn't look quite right, does it? The first 1 and the 8 are fine but the last two digits – 1 and 1 – seem suspect. Look at the spacing of those numbers as compared to the first two digits. They are spaced a bit wider aren't they? That is because they aren't ones (1) at all. Those are number fours (4). This Frederic Jones died August 20, 1844 at the age of 60 years. That means he was born in 1784 and could not have fought in the Revolutionary War.
Looking at the stone might not be enough to convince everyone. After all, the recording of worn 4's as 1's is the most commonly made mistake when reading tombstones. The `nose' of the four is engraved thinner and lighter than the `upright' of the number is. See an example of this below:
Add in decades of weathering and you have a bunch of fours that look like ones.
WE SEE FOURS
It isn't just the headstone today that supports this 1844 date. In 1910, the Gazette ran a series of articles which detailed the individuals buried in the Old Medina Cemetery. Indeed, over a hundred years ago, the July 22, 1910 Gazette (pg. 7) proves that someone read this same headstone and recorded it with the date of 1844. The article would point out interesting tidbits about persons or families buried there and it makes no additional reference to Jones as a person of interest. Just another burial from the 1840's…..
Even the survey of the stones completed by the Medina County Genealogical Society for its 1983 book, Tombstone Inscriptions from the Cemeteries in Medina County, Ohio, was able to come away with the date of 1841. They misread the age as 50 instead of 60 though that is the precise area where the stone is broken.
How could someone have misread the stone as 1811? The photo above was taken on a bright sunny day with perfect contrast on the area in question. If someone were reading the headstone on a gloomy day or with less than ideal lighting, the stone could easily appear to say 1811 to a person inexperienced in what to look for. The photo is taken from straight away at ground level. Any person standing, or even crouching a bit, would lack this ideal view. That's how the stone could be misread as 1811.
Rather, the question should be: how have three different persons over the span of 100 years (1910-2010) gotten fours from the same date where others have gotten ones?
When the details of the number four (nose, etc.) are worn away, distinguishing it from a number one can be difficult. One can look at the two numbers (like on our Frederic Jones stone) and see how this occurs. We know the first digit is a number one. Compare it to the last two digits and they are mostly indistinguishable. Go back to 1910 and we have a headstone that would have been much less worn. Someone looked at that headstone and saw two number fours. There must have been details of the numbers still visible. Back in 1983, someone still saw enough to write down 1841. Today, I cannot make claim to viewing any of those lost details. My conclusion is based on area history and the spacing between the last three numbers.
Explaining the spacing involves some background also:
The spacing between the 1 and 8 is not much different than the spacing between the 8 and the first 4. The spacing between the first 4 and second 4 is much greater. Why is this?
Below I typed the two dates:
Shown exactly as they were typed, and without making any spaces, note where the `uprights' of the number ones are situated within the space allotted for each digit. Compare this to where the `uprights' are located for the number fours. See how the ones are situated more to the left?
This is important because if one assumes that the space between the first number one and the eight is representative of the entire date, you could suggest that it is really 1814. Actually, the space between the digits is much smaller with the number one occupying its normal `to the left' positioning. Then keep in mind that the space between the two fours represents the combined area of three things: the tail of the first four, the actual space between the numbers, and the nose of the second four. I had wondered this myself but if you print out the photo of the stone's date and draw in the fours, it all makes sense.
OTHER CONFLICTS
From almost twenty years of experience reading old tombstones in Medina County, I can tell you that anytime I see a date in the 1810's it draws my attention. It's not impossible, but it is rare and requires an investigation of the circumstances. That being said, here are a few additional things that cast doubt about a date of 1811 on this headstone.
1. The 1881 History of Medina County pretty much lays out the firsts and early dates for the county. It tells of how Joseph Harris, George Burr, Russell Burr, Calvin Corbin, and Lyman Corbin (and families) settled Harrisville in 1811. In Liverpool, it was Justus Warner, Alpheus Warner, and Moses Demming (and families). Given the `trouble' with the Brits at the time, there was no further settling of the area until 1814. The first permanent settler in Medina Twp. was in late 1814 when Zenas Hamilton and his family settled. The village of Medina was laid out in 1818. These dates aren't uncrossable boundaries BUT I can tell you that in Medina County's cemeteries, I can't think of one instance where they were.
2. More from the 1881 History: The first death in Medina Twp. is given as being a young daughter of Asahel Parmelee in the spring of 1817. Nothing is said about the first burial although that of Isaac Pond in August of 1819 is the earliest mentioned. The death and/or burial of a Revolutionary War veteran would hopefully be recalled. Particularly when compared to that of a child whose family was simply passing through the township at the time and whose burial is not mentioned.
3. The next earliest burial in the cemetery is that of Anne Munson in 1825 – 14 years later. Not an inconceivable gap – especially given that stones could be missing or graves unmarked – but still notable for a cemetery this large. Might Jones have been buried elsewhere originally and moved here later? Possible, yes, but another question is raised: why? When individuals are disinterred and then reinterred in another cemetery, it is almost always done by a family member that has purchased a lot and moves them to be buried with the rest of the family. We see this many times with regards to those disinterred from Old Town and moved to Spring Grove. There are no visible connections to suggest anything like this happened with Frederic Jones.
4. The Jones stone looks like it is made out of white limestone. That type of material was booming for headstones in the 1840's. Many early stones from the 1820s and 1830s in Medina County are made out of sandstone which was used a lot during those early days. Of course this stone could have been erected in the 1840s so it's not exactly evidence either way. It doesn't so much eliminate the 1811 date as it is just another thing that fits the 1844 date.
For the Frederic Jones 1811 to be correct, it would mean that it conflicts with and predates the timeline of Medina Twp., the village of Medina, and Old Town Graveyard. It also makes him the earliest grave in Medina County – an honor known and documented as being Ruth Deming in 1812 in Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Liverpool Township.
I believe that the mistake was originated sometime following 1910. Perhaps after misreading the stone as 1811, someone did the math and wondered if the man buried there might have fought in the Revolution. Perhaps they went looking for a military record or, worse, just assumed he fought in the war. The WPA map for the cemetery shows Jones as a veteran and this project was done circa 1940.
Several books show Jones in their listings:
The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the American Revolution Buried in the State of Ohio, Volume I, pages 205 and 433; Ohio Adjutant's General's Office; (F J Heer Printing, Columbus, OH 1929);

Pg. 144 simply lists `Frederick Jones' in a list of names
Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol 2, Hatcher, Patricia Law (Pioneer Heritage Press, Dallas, TX, 1987)
THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE FOUR BOOKS
I have done a bit of research into each of these publications. I began by contacting the NSDAR to see if they could provide any corroborating/source information for the inclusion of Fred Jones in their publication. I received the following response:
Dear Mr. McCann,
I checked the NSDAR's Genealogical Research System, and though there are three different men by the name of Frederick Jones listed (this means that they are established and recognized by the National Society of the DAR as Revolutionary War soldiers or patriots), there are none listed who died in 1811 or 1844 and are buried in Medina County, Ohio. Of the three, two were born and died in North Carolina, and the other recognized patriot was born and died in Virginia, and all three died before 1809.
The volume that you mentioned–'The Official Roster of Soldiers of the American Revolution Buried in the State of Ohio' was not compiled by the National Society of the DAR, but under the direction of the state of Ohio, –published by direction of Frank D. Henderson, Adjutant General, and John R. Rea, Military Registrar, and compiled by Jane Dowd Dailey, DAR State Chairman of Historic Sites and Revolutionary Soldiers' graves of Ohio, 1923-1932. Though our library has copies of these volumes, we do not have any records relating to their compilation, as this was not a NSDAR undertaking.
It seems that Ohio DAR chapters collected the information contained in the volumes, in an attempt "to present an authentic and complete list of Revolutionary War soldiers buried in this state," according to the Foreword, by Jane Dowd Dailey, who also stated the following: "The Roster is not designed as a genealogical reference book, although it may be of service in tracing pioneer ancestry." You might wish to contact the Ohio Society of the DAR to see if they have any records relating to the compilation of this roster. Here is a link to their website: http://www.ohiodar.org/ . Please note on the left hand side of the screen the option to "contact us."
I wish you the best in your search for information about the Frederick Jones who is buried in Ohio.
Genevieve Shishak
Office of the Historian General
NSDAR
I then contacted the State of Ohio DAR which was the compiler of the first two publications listed. I received a response which included the following:
"Frankly, the publication "Official Roster of Soldiers of the Revolution Buried in Ohio" is worthless. It is not accepted by National Society DAR as a valid source of evidence for service. I don't know when it was published and I don't know the requirements for research into the listings of the men included. Personally, I believe that a disclaimer should be pasted into the front cover of every copy of the book still in existence….. Your Fred Jones error is not the only one in the book, I'm afraid. And that's why the book is not held in high regard."
Laverne Ingram Piatt
OSDAR State Chairman, Lineage Research
Registrar, Jared Mansfield Chapter, DAR
I contacted Pat Van Hoose who is the head of the James Fowler Chapter (Medina County) DAR and she was unable to find any information to help clear up the matter. Kathy Petras from the Medina Library suggested I contact the Wayne County Chapter since the submitter in one of the volumes is given as a Mrs. Harry Stebbins of Creston, Ohio.
I contacted a P.J. Stebbins online who is the granddaughter of Mrs. Harry Stebbins. She told me that Frederick Jones was not a relative so far as she knew and that she had no idea how/why her grandmother had been linked to the submission of that name.
I then contacted Janet Welty of the Wayne County Chapter DAR and she had no record for a Mrs. Harry Stebbins or any submissions related to Frederick Jones.
So it seems that the first two books – those compiled by the DAR – are compilations from its various state chapters that contain a lot of unsubstantiated material.
The third book on the list – the History of North Central Ohio – simply pulled its list of names from the aforementioned DAR books. It mentions the DAR lists as its source on the very pages where it lists Jones (and others) and offers no additional information. "We are giving the names of as many of these Revolutionary soldiers, buried in North Central Ohio, as we have been able to find and appreciate assistance given in this work by regents of various D. A. R. chapters."
The last book on the list – the Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots – did the very same thing. We know this because it states it in the book itself:
About Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots
This collection of abstracts of grave sites contains information originally published in the Senate documents of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as the Society magazine.
Using this book. While all of these reports are available at DAR headquarters, there is little if any information available there to link these references to specific sources of proof, to provide researchers with details as to why a grave was marked or to verify the listing of a located grave as indeed being that of a Revolutionary War patriot. Many listings, particularly the earlier ones, were not substantiated; all information should be independently verified and proved before being submitted to any patriotic or hereditary society for application or other purpose.
So while we have four `separate' sources which would seem to validate the claims of Frederic Jones being a veteran, we actually have two from the same unsourced compilation whose information was then copied and republished later by two others. Notice how the listings never offer anything more than what came from the misread headstone (i.e. no day or month of birth). There isn't even a mention of military service details (enlistment, company, rank, etc.).
I do not believe the Frederic Jones buried in the Old Town Graveyard was a Revolutionary War veteran. I have provided a number of pieces of evidence or arguments which I believe cast substantial doubt on his being a veteran. Furthermore, the sources that claim he IS a veteran consist of compilation books uncorroborated by any actual evidence.
Even if, for the sake of argument, one contends that the tombstone reads 1811, it doesn't mean that he was a Revolutionary War veteran. Likewise, the presence of a military record for a man with the name of Fred Jones does not prove any connection with the man buried here in Medina.
I believe that the only reasonable stance on this matter is to assume he ISN'T a veteran until evidence is found to prove otherwise. It is certainly more likely and safer to assume that he is not a veteran – as one would do with any adult male burial in any cemetery. The burden of proof lies with those who want to show that he was a veteran.
The investigation needs to start from the beginning and if a proven connection cannot be made he should not be listed on a veteran roster.
I have no stake in this argument and simply wish to see the truth documented. As it stands today, I would have to list Frederic Jones with the 1844 date and as not being a veteran.

Tinder, Bumble dating profiles needed for admission at some Colorado frat parties
Pupils in the college of Texas at Austin dancing during a fraternity occasion sponsored by Bumble in March 2019.
POLITENESS ALEX POSNER
AUSTIN — after doorways available at some University of Texas fraternity parties, men and people want to hand over two stuff: a state-issued ID and their mobile, making use of their Tinder University visibility drawn up. In the event that youngsters don't have a Tinder U visibility, these are typically requested generate one, although this means downloading the software for the first time — and even if they're in a reliable commitment. No software, no hitch app admission.
"Simply scan to sign up!," browse a poster outside one-party this spring, making reference to a scannable QR code published below a burnt-orange Longhorn. "Must: become within five miles of university, end up being ages 18-22, have a current Tinder visibility, have actually UT Austin inside profile."
Because they race to join up youngsters who existing her most significant increases options, Tinder and Austin-based Bumble have stepped-up their particular video game on university campuses across the nation. Fraternities were deciding whether they're a Bumble residence or a Tinder household, and finalizing exclusive contracts. The dating programs offer money to cover production charges for activities, branded signage and swag. The frats incorporate usage of countless potential new registered users — a trend containing gone unnoticed by moms and dads.
"I think parents may wish to learn this," mentioned Joell McNew, chairman of Safehorns, a security advocacy nonprofit made up of UT moms and dads, students and area members. "It's a knowledge problem. We're however mothers, regardless how older you may be."
McNew stated she's got issues about the safety of online dating, which promotes meet ups with strangers. On both Bumble and Tinder, countless consumers swipe remaining or right to show desire for the profiles of close folk. If two consumers swipe directly on both, they "match" and may begin a conversation.
It's confusing how predominant the dating-app fraternity sponsorships include, even in Texas. Tinder and Bumble declined to specify the extent of the university contribution, though both stated her applications need school promotion events in the united states. Students who've been to functions at Oklahoma college, Tulane college and Northwestern college verified the activities were paid from the software.
Still, a UT associate professor exactly who typed their doctoral thesis on the e-dating market had never heard about the sponsored functions until a reporter shared with her about them.
Whilst sponsorships appear to be about "down lower," they're a fantastic online strategy for matchmaking applications, stated Angeline near Scheinbaum, a co-employee professor of marketing advertising at UT. Besides recruiting new users, the functions create team hype when attendees wear vibrant colored merch and share snaps from the show, where in fact the applications' company logos is plastered on signs and flags in background.
But there's a difference between marketing your own software and pressuring people to being a user, mentioned Millie Lopez Stuessy, whoever daughter attends UT.
"It's one thing in the event that party is actually sponsored by these businesses, but after they begin forcing anybody to participate inside their business in some way, You will find an issue with that, because we don't believe must certanly be important to benefit from the event," Lopez Stuessy said.
A fraternity representative with understanding of the sponsored events, whom talked on problem of privacy because he didn't need to jeopardize his fraternity's partnership using organization, called the partnerships "mutually advantageous." He said the terms of the agreement promises the frat a certain amount of money, making use of opportunity to earn additional money according to the number of children exactly who install the software at pass pickup. The guy declined to identify the amount of money given within the deal.
"It's fairly helpful," the member stated. "It permits us to do better facts, permits you to attract more individuals as a result of the much cooler points we're able to perform."
18- to 24-year-olds likely to utilize internet dating programs
The sponsored activities are simply one of these associated with growing position internet dating applications need on college campuses. Bumble and Tinder enroll campus ambassadors — college students whom highlight the software on social media marketing along with true to life — like by assisting to organize a sponsored fraternity celebration.
"More than 1 / 2 of all of our users include between your many years of 18-25, therefore students is a key demographics," a Tinder spokesman stated in a message. "and our very own Tinder U goods skills, which links consumers along with other college students 1st, we work students promotion internship system that is targeted on on-campus partnerships, innovative marketing and advertising activations and social media marketing control. Through system, we occasionally sponsor happenings with some other personal organizations on university, that helps establish — or reintroduce — our very own brand to brand-new groups of people."
At UT, both applications had a big position during that year's Roundup, an incredibly expected week-end filled with functions and common artists. The annual celebration, which has come under flames because of its longer reputation of racism, has stopped being approved by the college.
"At UT RoundUp specifically, our very own brand name ambassadors work hard to raise youngsters' activities — should it be providing secure trips for students to get around campus, passing out goods, such as ChapStick, sunrays visors, or lovers, also giving support to the fraternities inside their efforts," mentioned Samantha Fulgham, Bumble's head artistic promotional Officer, in a contact.
"We encourage students to download Bumble in order to attend Bumble-sponsored events during RoundUp," she added. "Not merely performs this provide them with an opportunity to relate to some other students just who is likely to be going to similar event as them, but it also provides them with a chance to hook up away from RoundUp."
Whilst sponsorships get mostly undetected by those beyond your college or university crowd, professionals state college-aged individuals are a lot more probably than nearly any other age-group to use dating software.
Between 2013 and 2015, the express of 18- to 24-year olds just who reported utilizing online dating sites nearly tripled, increasing from just ten percent to 27 percent, per a 2015 survey carried out from the Pew study heart.
Beyond attractive to their own customers, the sponsorships were effective since they are not school-sanctioned plus don't take place on university, near Scheinbaum stated. UT-Austin officials dropped to discuss the partnerships between online dating apps and member sections of their Interfraternity Council, as well as the Council would not react to desires for feedback.
"If it absolutely was sanctioned because of the college, I'd desire discover, but there's most sponsorship taking place of activities that as a father or mother, I'll never know when it comes to," Lopez Stuessy stated. "My child is finished 18, and my personal son or daughter has to find out some obligation in creating choices of which occasions to go to, therefore's not my personal room at this time, anymore, to know that is supporting happenings."


In first place, for the second time in a row, with 148 Points, is Prometeus! Salvatore wishes to thank everyone who voted for Prometeus and to show his appreciation has sent us a special offer.
After narrowly missing out on the second spot in our Q3 poll… this time in second place, with 138 points, is BuyVM! Whilst no coupon, BuyVM have stocked some of their sought-after 128MB plans for us.
Last but not least, in third place with 99 points, is Ramnode! This is the first time Ramnode have appeared in our Top 3 poll but they did come fourth in our previous poll.
As mentioned above, Prometeus came first in our last poll and they also came second in the Top Providers Q2 Poll, narrowly beating Hostigation by a point. Prometeus were founded in 1997 and have featured five times on LowEndBox since April 2012 providing Xen, OpenVZ and KVM services from their cage in Milan, Italy. They're also very active within the community. One thing that I reported last time they won was that there didn't seem to be any negative comments or reviews regarding Prometeus – I am happy to report this still seems to be the case. When casting his vote for Prometeus, 'Voss' commented "I felt that Salvatore [the owner of prometeus] actually valued me as a customer". Another user 'zsero' remarked "best VPS in Europe for SSD + for custom solutions" and finally 'Wunderbear' said "The total package (network/support/performance) is great and always great deals". Having a KVM with Prometeus myself, I can only agree that they provide an astounding service.
BuyVM are one of the largest LowEndBox providers and have, somehow, managed to appear in every previous Top Providers poll – even winning twice. They provide services from both Buffalo, New York & San Jose, California – however, due to ongoing issues with their providers network, San Jose servers will be relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. Their servers will be transported from San Jose on the 19th January and will be reconnected on the 20th January. "Always quick to respond to problems, routine upgrades to their equipment, excellent price:performance ratio" – these were 'NickM's' reasons for voting for BuyVM. 'Kris' commented "First time I've trusted a VPS company with production sites, and feel I can go to sleep at night".
Newcomers Ramnode, an offshoot of a gaming server company, were first featured in September 2012 but quickly made their mark by finishing fourth in our Top Provider 2012 Q3 Poll. When user 'Imagine' submitted his three favourite, his comments on Ramnode were "Amazing performance, and friendly service, couldn't ask for more".
On behalf of all our readers, I would just like to congratulate our top 3 hosts. I believe Hostigation deserves a mention as they came fourth with a very respectable 91 Points – not too far off the 'medal table'. In comparison, EDIS finished fifth with still a relatively high 54!
The final point table will hopefully be published tonight over on LowEndTalk, this thread will be updated once we've posted them.
I've tried all of them at one point, and they all deserve this!
Good luck in the future you guys!
Congrats and nice job, Liam!
Thank you all that voted for us !
Your nice words and appreciations are warmly felt over here !
It certainly makes up for all the abusers, thieves, spammers, fakers, DDoSers that we have to put up with every day.
Congrats to Prometeus, RamNode, & Hostigation!
Is the promo over at prometeus?
The direct link takes me to a more expensive package with no indication of what specs a KVMSSD5 is.
As a customer of both BuyVM and RamNode, I can see why they are so highly-regarded. Keep up the excellent jobs you both do!
Well done winners. You certainly set the standard for leb hosting!
prometeus kvmssd5 € 37.5 /year | ($48~),~~~~(>_<)~~~~ ,i bought it for 45€/year .but the prometeus is really nice !
vote for RamNode of them, great services !
Thank you so much LEB/LET admin team for working really hard on this.
Congrats to the winners! Specially Uncle Sal and Boss Fran. Your service rocks!
Lots of votes it seems?
Was this the most votes ever cast?
Congrats to the winners. I am a customer of all three.
Liam, can you post a link (or open up the thread) at the end of the forum thread? I was looking every day at the forum with no sign of update, till I found it here, accidentally!
Congrats guys hope to see myself up there someday!
Congratulations for all Providers and keep it UP!!
They always had one. Look at VZ0 / 50ct / Iperweb.
We do have one or more, however there is no stock, we only deploy those on demand of old and serious customers with a valid reason.
Congratulations. Prometeus is always the best, Uncle Salvatore is Great ◕‿◕ .
Congratulations to all the winner :) . And better luck next time to all those who missed it.
Does Prometeus have other payment methods except of Paypal? For example, I am able to pay only by bank card, so what to do?
We are investigating other means to pay, but will only work for iperweb ltd not for prometeus.
Tried to buy the package from Ramnode following the direct signup link but found out the price is different? Can I get the price published in this article? Thank you.
When you have configured ordering, go to the checkout page and the coupon 'leb35' will make the price the same as here.
Thanks Liam & Nick A. I'll place an order.
happy to see ramnode here! excellent service I havea 2 vps solid and fast like hell!
Thanks! And thank you to everyone else!
Awesome Job Everyone!! You guys deserve it!
@Prometeus.net Please do not send our passwords in plaintext over email? Thanks.
I don't see any other way for you to receive your password for your VPS at this point. You are encouraged to change your password afterwards.
Maybe not sending them at all is a credible option. Users can always ask for a password reset if they really cannot remember their password right after account creation.
That's something to consider. We've done that for user accounts already, but not VPS yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
1. When user is resetting the password, the system should only send a active link to reset the password through email.
2. Then user will click the link or etc.., and type the password directed into the system. Using this, the password never appear on any mail.
Most of our mail is now being monitored or achieved (Even you deleted it immediately receive it). Sending password out in email should not be practised if possible.
But if you change the password just after logging in, you achieve the same result.
I meant the user account password. It is sent in plain text via email. I can understand the VPS SolusVM password being randomly generated and sent via email but the passwords for user accounts are chosen by users themselves. I certainly did not expect to see my chosen password again in plaintext via email.
Congrats to all. :) To date I don't have a LEB with any of the top providers for this quarter but probably will be picking up at least one soon.
congrat to promoteus, buyvm and ramnode.
Is it possible to provide a test IP for the Promoteus VPS so I can see latency from my location?
Where is the final points table then?
Good job all around guys! It's nice to see consistency in satisfaction with two providers that are not new here combined with one that is relatively newer to LEB. If you do good work, people will notice.
what a pitty BuyVM will move to Las Vegas.But the Prometeus is really good.
It's not much slower to Asia if it is any slower at all. Their Las Vegas location (Fiber Hub) is a lot better than San Jose especially with all the network issues they've been having.
You can ping 64.125.0.4 to get a good idea of what kind of pings you'll get from Asia to Vegas.
I had a lot of people from mainland China reporting a 100ms+ drop in latency since the routes aren't being buggered with anymore.
Where are you based Halalkah?
Clicked on the link above to purchase a € 37.5 /year | ($48~) Prometeus VPS and its coming up as 75 euro annually?
Already running 3 VPS on Ramnode. Very good overall.
Would love if Ramnode can come up with storage VPS?
Eww slow I/O and RamNode does not mix! ;) Maybe someday.
We don't believe in the whole 'no raid' based storage that is becoming common.
BuyVM – Home of the Lightning Fast Storage VPS!
The AUP on prometeus/iperweb is almost impossible to find. I dont want to plunk down money if I dont know what im allowed and not allowed to do.
Terms of service isnt an AUP.
Acceptable use is in the section 3 of the mentioned pages.
Buyvm is quiet good compare to it's price. Raid10 + SSD will soon become VPS standard this year!
Just want to testify that Prometeus is so damn awesome!! Words can't describe how best is they are. I just with them in less then a month, but they treat me as I am already with them for ages. They are best on every specs!! The super fast server, the patiently fast response support, and the affordable price!! Whenever you read it just have a try on Prometeus and you will as the way I'm feeling. Keep up the great work Prometeus! Grazie!
It is certainly disconcerting to see abusers and fakers all over, easy to forget those are just a small minority that gets in the light unwillingly, of course, but for every abuser there are tens and hundreds of satisfied customers.
Do they have them once a year?
No, offers come whenever we put up a lot of stock. We may have some SSD OVZ in a month or so.
Right now, almost everything is sold out, unfortunately, but we still have some deals on my.iperweb.com site.
https://my.iperweb.com/cart/low-end-vps Also have there customizable KVM and a few storage KVM leftovers.
I've only had my Prometeus KVM5 VPS for a little over two weeks, but I'm quite satisfied so far. It's absolutely the best value for the price, and pretty much anything goes, as long as it's legal and doesn't cause abuse complaints. They also own their own DC, which means they're not reselling anything, avoiding middlemen. that raise prices. About the only legal things they don't allow are TOR exit nodes/open proxies, as you have no control over what comes directly from the IP address of your VPS, and resource intensive game servers and p2p applications on a low-memory plan, as these can be flagged in the system as an abuse of resources. Only the biz plans have more strict limitations on the software you can run, but that's because they greatly undercommit their resources on those nodes so that they can handle heavy load for business usage. Otherwise, they do allow IRC servers, game servers and even p2p applications on their non-biz plans, as long as you are distributing legal files. For more specific information, see this FAQ, which goes into even greater detail than the TOS. OH, and did I mention that the plan I have is a KVM-based VPS? This is definitely the best quality of service for the best price. Thanks, Prometeus, you guys rock!
BuyVM and their services are down ATM.
Hope they sort it out and be back soon.
Picked up 2 VPS's with RamNode. They seem to work great. Support is friendly and professional unlike another provider I was about to go with. Thanks Nick @ RamNode!
@Francisco Please check ticket #129035.
I won't trust BuyVM any more. I'll talk about my bad experience with BuyVM.
I have two vps on BuyVM. One 256 KVM and it was due on 03/01/2013. The other one is 128 OVZ and it will be due on 12/29/2013.
I receive several automatically sent mails from BuyVM, said my KVM plan will be due. Since I don't want that VPS any more, I didn't pay any attention to it.
Today both my KVM plan and OVZ plan are suspended due to 'late fee'.
BuyVM just charge 'late fee' for the due invoice. I don't pay the invoice because I don't care.
Why won't you just terminate the KVM plan and keep my OVZ plan?
I open a ticket and request to recover my OVZ plan. But the customer service says I have to pay for the 'late fee'.
Are you guys serious? Do I have to terminate manually for things I prepaid and don't care any more?
Do I have to suffer suspending for another prepaid plan due on end of this year?
I'm the customer and I pay for a service. If I don't want it any more, I won't pay another invoice.
I can't understand why a late fee is generated and suspend my other plan.
You can automatically send invoice mail, but can't automatically terminate a due vps.
Yes, BuyVM have a TOS. But I don't have time to read it for just a file server for 15-25$.
You guys can automatically charge me, you can't automatically terminate the due service.
Do evil for money, huh? Bad money is easy money for you!
I have to tell everybody, BuyVM is BAD!
I wanted to use BuyVM as a VPN. There was a popular blog post online with a script to set it up, specifically for BuyVM. I bought the 128MB plan (as directed) and ran the script and everything seemed to work. I could connect to the VPN on all my devices, but many sites just did not work. For example, reddit.com did not work but hulu.com did work. The plan I bought was quite cheap, and they stressed it had zero support with it. Also, the speed was very poor for some specific content that did work. Did BuyVM remove the features that allowed VPN service and not notify anyone? Did they block some sites? I don't know, but I avoid BuyVM and OpenVZ altogether now.
If you can't access reddit.com, do a ping test. It may be a DNS problem. I use Google DNS and it works fine.
Just wanted to warn you guys about BuyVM. I am not easily disappointed, especially when you consider the price, but think twice before purchasing their vps!
I purchased one of their kvm vps in December, and it immediately got cancelled for no apparent reason. So I contacted their sales. Here is a transcript. I am Josh, and Val is the support staff. I can provide screenshots as well. Just pm me.
I just purchased a kvm vps in the Las Vegas data center, but it has been canceled.
Why? Why have I not been notified of the reason?
Hello Josh. Please take the time to fully read our Terms of Service – once you have done so and can tell us why the order was declined, we'll provide further instruction on how to proceed.
I don't know why the order was declined. This is my first order with you. I would think you should know why since you represent buyvm.
Yes, I do know why. Once you have taken the time to read our policies, you will know this answer as well.
Seriously, this is the most unhelpful support system I have ever encountered. I have read your TOS, and I still don't know why. Now will you tell me or what? I'm getting impatient.
If you don't, I will have to report you to buyvm because they are paying you for nothing, since you don't provide support.
Your misunderstanding is unfortunate, but the reason we require you to tell us what policy you were in violation of is to ensure that you have actually taken the time to read said policies – this is SOP and asked of all persons that disregard our TOS upon signup. There's nothing we can do about "being unhelpful" if you're going to simply ignore the instructions we give. If you wish to "report me to buyvm" you are more than welcome to – such reports come to me anyways. I'll be sure to have a word with myself about doing such a fine job remaining patient with users that seem to willfully disregard our rules.
Again, we ask that you fully read our Terms of Service, and find the policy that you are neglecting. Once you've done so and we're confident that you're ready to abide by our conditions for retaining service with us, we'll provide further instruction on how to proceed.
As you can see, I wanted to abide by the TOS, and I read them, but I still could not tell why my vps had been cancelled. I think it is the job of the support team to provide support (duh!) and tell me why and what can be done about it.
I have not tried their service yet, and frankly, I am afraid to do so since I obviously cannot rely on their support team when something goes wrong.
This also shows that their team is not qualified. When I contacted Francisco, another of their staff, he also refused to acknowledge the unprofessional way their support team dealt with the problem.
AGAIN, DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! BUYVM SUPPORT IS RUBBISH, THEIR STAFF ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL!!!
Most likely they are going to try and find excuses. But this is an honest review of their services, and I hope that you will see it for what it is, the truth.

Since its founding in 1998, Encounter Books has served as a vital counterweight to a publishing establishment that is overwhelmingly beholden to progressive pieties on vital issues ranging from national security and economic growth to the environment, free speech, and the rule of law. In its two decades of existence, Encounter has not only published scores of books that reaffirm the vital tenets of Western civilization, it has also demonstrated the continuing relevance of thoughtful books to the course of public debate on the defining issues of our time.
Twenty years have given us much to celebrate. With over three million books shipped, titles held in some 20,000 libraries and academic institutions, and a roster of distinguished conservative thinkers from Conrad Black, John Bolton, Robert Bork, William F. Buckley Jr., Peter Collier, Daniel Hannan, Victor Davis Hanson, and Gertrude Himmelfarb to Heather Mac Donald, Andrew C. McCarthy, Michael Novak, Jason L. Riley, Thomas Sowell, and John Yoo (and may I mention Roger Kimball?), Encounter has established itself as America's premier intellectual conservative imprint and as a formidable force in the world of ideas.
It has been a privilege to have had a hand in preserving and cultivating the intellectual and moral resources that undergird our civilization. As a not-for-profit publisher in a competitive media marketplace, Encounter Books relies on the support of our loyal community of friends and readers to advance our publishing program.

Many of the fruits we enjoy in the Western world have their roots in the Amazon rainforest. Mangoes, oranges, lemons, and many more all grow here, but we only consume a tiny proportion of the 3,000 or so known to the people of these areas. Some of these more exotic and unknown fruits contain a huge number of vitamins and minerals, and if you take an Amazon river cruise, you may even get to try some of them for yourself.
Camu camu, also known as rumberry, grows in the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon on a bushy riverside tree. While the fruit itself is rather sour, it is used in many ways, and served often as ice cream and in juice form. The fruit harvests during the rainy season so is collected by canoe. It has a very high level of vitamin C, between 2 – 3% of its fresh weight, and is extremely popular throughout Iquitos and the Amazonas.
Maracuya is known to us as passion fruit, but in the jungle, and throughout much of South America, it is much more widely consumed. Grown on vines, the fruit is yellow to dark brown with a juicy seed-filled interior. Fresh passion fruit contains provitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and iron. Maracuya juice is a source of potassium, which suggests it could have good properties for lowering blood pressure. Preliminary research has also indicated that consuming passion fruit peel may alleviate asthma symptoms.
Native to Central and South America, this small, round fruit is found on palms that grow as tall as 25 meters, and produce 40 to 50 pounds of the berries per year. Acai has recently started to become extremely popular internationally owing to its supposed antioxidant qualities, although so far there have been no scientifically-controlled studies that have confirmed any of these health benefits. In a study of three traditional caboclo populations in the Brazilian Amazon, the acai palm was described as their most important plant species because the fruit makes up around 42% of their total food intake by weight.
The bacaba palm, also known as kumbu, actually produces more fruits than any other palm in South America, usually around 2,500 per bunch! They have a dark red to purple colored shell and are often cooked to make a juice. Remains of the fruit are fed to livestock such as pigs, and the leaves are also used in the construction of houses, as are the the tree trunks.
Cupuazu is related to cacao, and is widely cultivated in Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia. They have a thick, brown, fuzzy exocarp and weigh anywhere between 1 and 2 kg. The pulp of the fruit has been described as tasting as a mixture of chocolate and pineapple, and is often used in desserts, whereas the juice is often compared to that of a pear.
Aguaje, or the moriche palm fruit, has a high vitamin C content and is often used to make juice, jam, and even fermented into a fruit wine. It is found in tropical wet areas of South America. Its oil contains high concentrations oleic acid, tocopherols, carotenoids and vitamin A, and is often used to treat injuries such as burns because of its soothing qualities.
Cocona is a red, yellow, or orange edible berry from the cocona plant, a small shrub with sturdy branches and huge, hairy leaves. Coconas have a similar appearance to tomatoes, and taste somewhere in between a tomato and a lemon. They are native to the Andean regions of South America.
This list represents just a small selection of fruits available in the Amazonas. So when you finally make that trip, try to venture to the local market and see what they have to offer, and take advantage of the vast array of jungle delights you will find. The chances are it will be far different to what you find in your local supermarket!

Crowds really see a decrease in early September because of "back to school" time for much of the country. Least busy parks for mornings depends...I would not go to any park that is having Extra Magic Hours, as that is where the majority of guests go. I would try a non-EMH park in the mornings. And again regarding evenings, there is no magic formaula as to which is least crowded, but I would avoid EMH parks.


Stm32Cube와 Eclipse의 조합으로 개발을 할때 연결된 보드를 디버깅시 다음과 같은 에러 메시지가 뜰 경우가 있다.
이럴때는 프로젝트의 설정의 Run/Debug Setings의 Startup 탭에서 다음 그림에 보이는 2가지 항목의 설정을 해제하면 된다.
Octoprint는 크로스플랫폼을 지원하며, Raspberry Pi를 기본적으로 지원한다. 이 기사에서는 3가지 종류의 Raspberry Pi에서 슬라이싱 테스트를 했는데, 결론은 다음과 같다.
There's simply no competition between a modern desktop or laptop processor and the comparatively dinky ARM chip used in the Raspberry Pi. Which is why you should really just slice your models on the computer and send the resulting G-Code to OctoPrint over the network. That's the intended workflow, and it really does make a lot more sense than forcing the Pi to labor over a task it's clearly not cut out for. If the results of this test have shown anything, it's that slicing on the Pi is a time consuming process no matter which model you buy.
임베디드 보드에서의 Hello World인 blink 테스트를 끝나면 printf를 찍기위해 UART를 연결하고 테스트를 한다. Nucleo 보드에서도 마찬가지로 작업을 하는데, 회로도를 보면 아두이노 핀 호환 컨넥터의 TX, RX핀에 연결이 되어있다. 하지만 자세히 회로도를 보면 default 연결은 이 핀들이 아니라 ST-Link칩에 연결이 되어 있다. 즉 UART2의 경우 ST-Link를 통해서 USB 컨넥터에 연결이되고 virtual COM port로 잡힌다. 매뉴얼에 보면 다음과 같이 나온다.
The USART2 interface available on PA2 and PA3 of the STM32 microcontroller can be connected to ST-LINK MCU, ST morpho connector or to Arduino connector. The choice can be changed by setting the related solder bridges. By default the USART2 communication between the target STM32 and ST-LINK MCU is enabled, in order to support virtual COM port for MbedTM (SB13 and SB14 ON, SB62 and SB63 OFF). If the communication between the target STM32 PA2 (D1) or PA3 (D0) and shield or extension board is required, SB62 and SB63 should be ON, SB13 and SB14 should be OFF. In such case it is possible to connect another USART to ST-LINK MCU using flying wires between ST morpho connector and CN3.
따라서 아두이노 핀 호환핀에 연결을 하려면 점퍼 설정을 다시해야 하는데, printf를 위해서라면 virtual COM port를 사용하면 되니 그럴 필요는 없다.

        self.name = self.base_name
        self.health = self.base_health
        self.damage = self.base_damage

NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Here is my full code: http://pastebin.com/8Xn6UCKS

A: that's because the self variable has to be explicitely given to methods in python. As you write it, are you expecting python to read your mind so it guesses that self shall be something from a class your function is not related at all with?
So to have it bound you need:

*

*add self to argument list of def pickapoo_specialattack(self, opponent)

*to move pickapoo_specialattack(opponent) in your Deskemon class

looking further in your code, what you're doing is definitely wrong, as you're defeating the whole purpose of OOP! Use classes and subclasses to do what you're aiming.
Let me give you an incomplete example of what I mean:
class Deskemon(object):
    def specialattack(self, opponent):
        raise NotImplementedError

    …

class Pickapoo(Deskemon):
    def specialattack(self, opponent):
         … # content of the pickapoo_specialattak() function

class Tamosha(Deskemon):
    def specialattack(opponent):
         … # content of the tamosha_specialattak() function

and then:
def main():
    pickapoo = Pickapoo(…)
    tamosha = Tamosha(…)

instead of monkey patching Deskemon instances, use proper OOP conception and make Deskemon the base class of all your instances. Then you create a specialized instance for each Deskemon object, and that's the thing you initialize.
N.B.1: you should init all your objects in a main function:
N.B.2: you should place all your code at the end in a main function:
def main():
    # init
    pickapoo = Pickapoo(…)
    tamosha = Tamosha(…)
    lilwilly = Lilwilly(…)
    bigbboy = Biggboy(…)

    # start up
    print("Welcome to Deskemon Pre-Alpha V1.2".upper())
    …

    # play loop
    while True:
        deskemon_selection_menu()
        deskemon_selection_input = input("> ")
        if deskemon_selection_input == "1":
            deskemon = tamosha
        elif deskemon_selection_input == "2":
            deskemon = pickapoo
        elif deskemon_selection_input == "3":
            deskemon = lilwilly
        elif deskemon_selection_input == "4":
            deskemon = biggboi
        else:
            continue
        print("You have selected {} as your Deskemon".upper().format(deskemon))
        break

    # shut down
    print("Professor Andrew: Alright Jack, it's time to pick your Deskemon.")
    …
    print("Jack: OI! " + name + "!")
    time.sleep(1)
