July 29, 2008 - Though the long-awaited Saboteur has been one of the most anticipated games of 2008 by critics and gamers alike, developer Pandemic revealed last week that the game won't see the light of day until 2009, as opposed to the expected Q4 2008.
Made by the same people who brought you Mercenaries and Star Wars: Battlefront, Saboteur is the upcoming WWII title designed specifically for current-gen consoles and PC. It'll be the first to introduce sandbox-style gaming with elements of third-person shooter and stealth to separate itself from the slew of WWII titles on the market.

Mariners boost offense by getting Vidro

Topic: Mariners boost offense by getting Vidro
GREGG BELL
SEATTLE - Jose Vidro doesn't mind changing teams, leagues or positions. The Seattle Mariners acquired Vidro and $4 million from the Washington Nationals for oft-injured outfielder Chris Snelling and right-hander Emiliano Fruto in a deal finalized Monday.
Vidro waived his no-trade clause knowing that he is likely to see most of his time with the Mariners as a designated hitter.
"They need my bat. They need it bad," Vidro said Monday by telephone from his native Puerto Rico.
Vidro understands Washington views Felipe Lopez as its long-term second baseman and Cristian Guzman, recovered from shoulder surgery, is set to be the Nationals' shortstop.
"I'm only 32. I feel I can still play in the field," Vidro said. "Unfortunately, it's a situation for me to have to go there as a DH. But, hey, I like challenges."
Seattle general manager Bill Bavasi said Vidro was not on the team's list of targeted players when the Mariners arrived at the winter meetings. But the Mariners needed to boost an offense that scored an AL-low 756 runs last season.
"We knew we needed to add at least one guy to be a contact guy for us, a guy who keeps innings going," general manager Bill Bavasi said. "We feel we can add him to our batting order anywhere from the second to the sixth-spot. ... I think we are a much stronger offensive team."
Ben Broussard, a left-handed bat acquired in a trade with Cleveland last season to be the Mariners' DH, hit just .230 against right-handed pitching and just .238 overall after the trade.
The Mariners had five players with at least 10 at bats as a DH last season: Carl Everett, Broussard, Eduardo Perez, Mike Morse and Sexson. They were last among AL DHs in slugging percentage (.358), on-base percentage (.298) and runs (65) and next-to-last in average (.233), doubles (21) and RBIs (65).
Vidro had been the longest-tenured player currently with the Expos-Nationals franchise, but has been slowed by leg injuries the past two seasons. He hit .289 with seven homers, 26 doubles and 47 RBIs last season, when he missed 36 games.
He is a career .301 hitter with 115 homers and 550 RBIs in 10 seasons, all in Montreal and Washington.
Vidro is due $7.5 million next year and $8.5 million in 2008. Trading him fits with the Nationals' plan to lower the age of their roster.
"This deal gives us payroll flexibility both in 2007 and 2008, and it gives us a chance to acquire two young prospects who will have the opportunity to compete for roster spots in 2007 and 2008," Nationals general manager Jim Bowden said.
Seattle gave Vidro a 2009 vesting option added to his contract as part of the deal. If the option doesn't become guaranteed, Vidro would receive a $500,000 payment.
"Playing in the American League will lengthen his career," Bowden said.
It will also make it more meaningful, Vidro said.
"I like that I am going to be on a very competitive team that is trying to win - not trying to rebuild, which is now the case in Washington," he said.
The Mariners still have two openings in their rotation and have inquired about free agent Barry Zito. Zito's agent, Scott Boras, envisions a six- or seven-year contract.

FCC Erases Net Neutrality Rules, Now Permits Internet Providers to Block and Throttle Consumers
Andrew Feinberg
WASHINGTON, December 14, 2017 – The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday voted 3-2, along party lines, to approve a proposal by Republican Chairman Ajit Pai repealing the "open internet" net neutrality rules classifying broadband internet service providers as common carriers.
That leaves Americans without any sort of network neutrality policy or government regulations for the first time since the administration of George W. Bush.
The long-expected vote was condemned by Democrats and consumer groups, but hailed by Republicans and groups representing large internet providers who had sought to overturn the rules.
The rules classifying broadband internet service as common carriage were put in place in 2015 by then-FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.
Broadband providers pledge to refrain from the practices they lobbied to permit
Many of those large internet providers have long pledged to refrain from the very practices – throttling, blocking, and paid prioritization, among others – that the rules prohibited. Yet they have also lobbied to overturn them.
Congressional Democrats like Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-California, reacted by pledging to continue the fight to defend the rules in court.
"It's clear that the Chairman's idea has been rejected in the court of public opinion with tens of millions of Americans weighing in," Eshoo said in a statement. "Now the issue will be judged in the courts."
Eshoo added that she and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, will be leading efforts to draft an amicus brief in support of the rules for the anticipated litigation to overturn the FCC's decision in the same way they did to defend those same rules when they were challenged by a group of cable providers.
Markey also announced that he is introducing a resolution under the Congressional Review Act that would overturn the FCC's decision.
"Without strong net neutrality rules, entrepreneurs, inventors, small businesses, activists and all those who rely on a free and open internet will be at the mercy of big broadband companies that can block websites, slow down traffic and charge websites fees in order to increase their profits," Markey said. "We will fight the FCC's decisions in the courts, and we will fight it in the halls of Congress."
Dissent at the Federal Communications Commission
While they were powerless to stop today's vote, Democrats on the FCC railed against him in angry statements delivered before the vote.
"I dissent from this rash decision to roll back net neutrality rules," said Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel.
"I dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point. And I dissent from the contempt this agency has shown our citizens in pursuing this path today."

FCC Announces Largest Approval Yet for Rural Digital Opportunity Fund: $1 Billion
The agency said Thursday it has approved $1 billion to 69 providers in 32 states.

WASHINGTON, December 16, 2021 – The Federal Communications Commission announced its largest approval yet from the $9.2-billion Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, greenlighting on Thursday $1 billion from a reverse auction process that ended with award announcements in December but that the new-look agency has been scrutinizing in recent months.
The agency said in a press release that this fifth round of approvals includes 69 providers who are expected to serve 518,000 locations in 32 states over 10 years. Its previous round approved $700 million worth of applications to cover 26 states. Previous rounds approved $554 million for broadband in 19 states, $311 million in 36 states, and $163 million in 21 states.
The agency still has some way to approve the entirety of the fund, as it's asked providers that were previously awarded RDOF money in December to revisit their applications to see if the areas they have bid for are not already served. So far, a growing list have defaulted on their respective areas, some saying it was newer FCC maps that showed them what they didn't previously know. The agency said Thursday that about 5,000 census blocks have been cleared as a result of that process.
The FCC also said Thursday it saved $350 million from winning bidders that have either failed to get state certification or didn't follow through on their applications. In one winning bidder's case, the FCC said Thursday Hotwire violated the application rules by changing its ownership structure.
"This latest round of funding will open up even more opportunities to connect hundreds of thousands of Americans to high-speed, reliable broadband service," said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. "Today's actions reflect the hard work we've put in over the past year to ensure that applicants meet their obligations and follow our rules. With thoughtful oversight, this program can direct funding to areas that need broadband and to providers who are qualified to do the job."
Local Government Advisors Concerned by Delay in Sohn Confirmation Process
They also believe Alan Davidson will be viewed more favorably to head the NTIA.
Nominee for FCC Commissioner Gigi Sohn
WASHINGTON, December 14, 2021 – Local government advisors are concerned by delays in the confirmation process of Gigi Sohn, President Joe Biden's nominee for the Federal Communications Commission, and what those delays will mean for broadband services in local communities.
At the moment, there are reportedly not enough votes from Democrats to confirm Sohn.
The panel of local advisors at a National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors on Monday said the FCC would likely remain split 2-2 between Democrats and Republicans until at least February, when the panel says Sohn's confirmation will probably pass the Senate.
Such a split would prevent the agency from making some major decisions that would ramp up programs to expand broadband access for Americans. For this reason, several civil society groups have asked the Senate for a swift confirmation process of Biden's nominees.
The panel also said that Biden's nominee to head the National Telecommunications and Information Association, Alan Davidson, will likely be reported favorably out of committee.
Logistical problems for the Affordable Connectivity Program
Panelists also spent significant time discussing what current regulatory agency efforts mean for connectivity.
The panel critiqued the FCC's transition from the Emergency Broadband Benefit to the Affordable Connectivity Program provided for by the newly-passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to continue providing students with internet access for e-learning. The program provides monthly subsidies for connectivity and devices for eligible students.
This transition is planned to take place with the start of the 2022 new year, and the agency is fielding comments on how to transition.
The panel stated that because this transition takes place during the school year, it has the potential to strand students without connectivity services. Panelists noted that they have been trying to communicate these concerns to the FCC.
The FCC recently eliminated an enrollment freeze in the EBB that was planned to take place during the transition to the ACP.
FCC Takes Stock of Telehealth Successes, But Acknowledges a Long Way to Go at Agency Event
Procedural hurdles lie ahead for the commission's telehealth efforts.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr
WASHINGTON, December 6, 2021 – Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr and several leaders in healthcare said Monday the agency's efforts to expand telehealth programs for Americans face procedural hurdles before Congress.
The cost of government telehealth expansion efforts is among key factors that create congressional hesitance to rubber stamp the FCC's telehealth initiatives.
During panel discussions moderated by Carr at a commission event on Monday, experts also remarked that the commission's efforts would require a good deal of regulatory flexibility that many members of Congress may not be willing to grant it.
Panel guest Deanna Larson, CEO of virtual health network Avera eCARE, testified before the Senate on the matter in October, urging Congress to extend or make permanent its regulatory flexibility toward telehealth.
The panels also spent time discussing the substantial success the FCC has had in expanding telehealth over the course of the coronavirus pandemic.
Experts emphasized accomplishments such as the employment of remote monitoring devices by physicians to physically examine patients when they cannot come into the office.
The panel stated that the move from fully in-person healthcare to telehealth can be compared to the significance of the move from "Blockbuster to Netflix," referencing the at-home experience of the streaming platform.

Manga blogger extraordinaire Deb Aoki sat down with the Viz folks at NYCC and asked some hard questions about their relaunch of Shonen Jump as a digital magazine (to be renamed Shonen Jump Alpha). The magazine will be available via the Viz iOS app and the Vizmanga.com website, but only in the U.S. and Canada.
This is something that the entire publishing industry is dealing with, not just manga. Digital rights (to a given book or manga) wasn't always included in the original contracts.
Now, with everything that's happening, everyone wants the digital rights. But it's not clear if the print publisher (of a given book in a given territory) has first dibs, or if the rights holder can just shop (the digital rights) around to whomever wants it.
So it's possible that someone will be publishing Naruto digitally in other countries, but it won't necessarily be Viz.
There are pretty much three reasons for piracy—price, speed, and regional availability. Viz has the speed thing licked—with the launch of Shonen Jump Alpha, they will be publishing chapters of six of the most popular manga in the U.S. within two weeks of their Japanese release, and there's a good chance that they may eventually go to simultaneous release in the two countries. On price, the ability to buy a chapter for the magic price of 99 cents (through Viz's website as well as iOS apps) is a pretty good deal for the casual reader (although the yearly subscription price of $25.99 is a better deal in the long term). But region restrictions, whatever the reason, are bad news; they seem to be driving a lot of the traffic on pirate sites, judging from the comments. Two out of three ain't bad—but if Shonen Jump Alpha does well, and the Shueisha honchos loosen the restrictions, that hat trick could prove very lucrative for Viz.

ParaLive: JILUKA THE SYNERGY Tour Final
Source: JILUKA Official
First an introduction interview, then a new release interview, and next up: a new live report! Particularly for JILUKA's most recent show THE SYNERGY, which, let me tell you, was one hot live. We wanted nothing more than to jump down and join the fans in their headbanging!
On the 5th of December, JILUKA held the final of their THE SYNERGY tour at Shibuya VEATS. The tour set off in early September, and they performed in most of the bigger cities in Japan.
JILUKA is one of the few bands who actively reach out to their overseas fans. Their outstanding visuals clearly mark them as a part of the visual kei scene, but their sound can easily be categorized into the metal genre, too. That being the case, they hold a bridge-like position within the scene, forging a connection between metal and visual kei.
The concert started with KUMARI, which was released on their latest album IDOLA. If you are interested in details about the album, please check out our interview with them (click here)! The song didn't grant their fans any warm-up, the aggressive and powerful beats demanding everything from the audience right from the start. Aggressive headbanging from one side to the other or back and forth—the fans were giving their all. The lighting amplified the whole atmosphere by being darker during the intense parts and brighter during Ricko's (Vo.) melodious singing parts. During Ajna, Ricko pointed at his head, silently asking even the last person in the venue to join the others in headbanging. Raison d'etre has a slightly slower pace compared to the songs before, but due to its intense character, the fans didn't even rest for one second, continuing to clap their hands or jump in unison with Boogie (Ba.).
Ricko (Vo.)
After the song, Ricko thanked everyone for coming. He announced that this night would be one their fans wouldn't ever forget and asked, with a wicked smile, whether everyone could come along: "Can you do it? Can you?" They then continued with Eclipse. The fans immediately started to clap their in time with the beat and Zyean (Dr.) stood up from his drum chair to get a better look at their audience. The show continued as powerful as it had begun and despite the fast pace of the songs, Sena (Gt.) only averted his eyes from his fans when he had complicated riffs to play. Any other time he was flirting with the fans in front of him, smiling and winking at them while gracefully playing his guitar. When they moved on to Flux, we noticed that you usually don't truly realize just how fast a song really is until you see it performed. The speed with which Zyean, Boogie and Sena played their instruments was sick!
Sena (Gt.)
Even though JILUKA are mostly known for their metal sounds, they also have songs where they combine this sound with elements from other genres, like Hip Hop for example. M.A.D and BaLa-DeDa are both songs that contain such elements, and they bring a refreshing variety into the show. While Ricko and Boogie moved their bodies to the beat, Sena was on the microphone, singing along. The last song before the encore was Ablaze (extended ver.). The stage was dipped in golden light, which quickly settled the aggressive mood into a calmer one. Then everything went dark, Ricko shouted a "Thank you" and left the stage, followed shortly by the other members.
After returning to the stage, they performed ZONE, picking up another powerful song. Compared to the main act, they were moving around more freely during the encore. Ricko jogged up to Sena to stand very close to him, Sena in return smiled at him and then continued to play his guitar. After that, Sena and Boogie switched places and were warmly welcomed by the fans in front of them.
Boogie (Ba.)
Once the song ended, the band used the occasion to talk to the audience for a bit. Every member shared their impression on the tour and thanked their fans, people related to their band and other band members for their support. Boogie also mentioned that people often use the word "forever" pretty casually. Fans, for example, would say that they will be a fan forever, but then someday they somehow disappear and you wonder where they've gone. Maybe it wasn't meant to be forever after all, though he also wondered if those fans would perhaps still be here if they had worked harder as a band. However, he also assured their fans that he plans to be acting with JILUKA forever and that he's sincere about it. He shared some very profound thoughts with the audience, which luckily didn't dampen the mood at all. Sena pointed out that some of their shows had been rather short during the tour, so they wanted to extend the final a little to make up for it. He then talked about the meaning of IDOLA for their band. It is an album that was completed during the tour, but he wanted the worldview of IDOLA to be destroyed at the final for them to be able to move onwards. He stressed that he was both really satisfied with how the songs had grown throughout the tour and happy they reached their goal. After Sena finished talking, Ricko once again grinned wickedly and asked: "Should we go one better? Without thinking about tomorrow and that we probably won't be able to move? Should we??" That was obviously a rhetorical question – of course! And the first tunes of Last Faith resounded through the venue. They continued with Obliterator which was supposed to be their last song. During the outro Boogie, Zyean and Sena played around with their instruments, Ricko went behind Sena, hugged him from behind and played around with his guitar. When he moved back to the middle of the stage, he asked everyone to wait. "I am still hyper, can we do another one?" His wish was their command and the last song was Ultra B.A.L.U.S, coaxing every single fan into giving their very best for one last time!
Zyean (Dr.)
JILUKA hitting my music taste right on the spot obviously means that there was no way that I couldn't enjoy the show. Their songs are just made for going wild at concerts, and the transitions from one song to the next were superb. The SEs were well chosen for giving their fans a tiny break in-between the songs. Because of the lack of ballads, these breaks were definitely necessary. All in all: a very successful show and we can only recommend to experience them live if you haven't yet.
They gave 3 big announcements for the near future: The MAD PIT FES 2022, a festival organized by JILUKA, featuring metal and visual kei bands; a coupling tour with Leetspeak Monsters and a DVD release of the THE SYNERGY tour final at Shibuya VEATS. So for everyone who's gotten curious about a JILUKA live show, you will be getting the chance to experience it yourself! The DVD will be released in March, so don't miss it!

Get the best deals when shopping for auto insurance in Luna County, NM. Request Luna County, NM insurance quotes and compare!
Many of us in Luna County, NM have so many questions on auto insurance. Here are some of the frequently asked questions that can help you have a better understanding about auto insurance.
Q: If someone borrows my car and crashes it, does my insurance apply, or does theirs?
A: Generally speaking, the liability follows the car, so your insurance would apply, as it is your car. The liability insurance of the driver often pays the additional amount if the costs payable are above your policy limits.
Q: If a child goes to college with mom or dad's car, are they covered under the parents' personal auto policy?
A: This can vary from company to company. Check with the insurance provider and make sure that the child is listed as an additional driver. Do this before the child goes to college, and it will avoid unnecessary disputes later on.
Q: Do I need 'gap' insurance?
A: If your vehicle is on finance, and its value is now less than the amount you owe, then yes you need gap insurance. If you owe less than its value, then no, you do not need gap insurance.
Q: My teenager will soon be of driving age, how can I cover them without paying a large premium?
A: As young drivers pose greater risks, this will be hard to do. If you only have one, expensive car on the policy, it will be expensive to insure the teenager. Consider buying them a cheaper vehicle that will make it cheaper for them to be insured on.
Q: I have just bought a new vehicle, but have not yet told my insurance company. Am I still insured?
You should always notify your insurance company of any changes of vehicle or new vehicles you purchase. Sometimes the new vehicle will be covered straight away, but there are often stipulations regarding the type of vehicle, and an amount of lapse time can also apply.
Q: Does my auto insurance cover me for the rental car I will be using when I am on vacation?
A: Many auto insurance companies will include rental car coverage within your policy, but again, restrictions can apply, and to be on the safe side you should always check details before you go on your vacation. If you unsure, phone the company direct and get an answer over the telephone. With issues such as this one it is better to be safe than sorry.

Growing advancements in anticancer drug discovery research are leaning towards the plant-based bioactive fractions, which is a cocktail of naturally abundant two or more substances with unique proportions, exhibiting greater potential to combat cancers than the individual molecules. were dissolved in 0.1N hydrochloric acid and filtered. The presence of alkaloids in the respective filtrates was tested by following Mayer's and Wagner's tests, as follows, was carried out by incubating filtrate (2.0 mg) with few drops of Mayer's reagent (5 g potassium iodide INSL4 antibody and 1.36 g mercuric chloride dissolved in 100 ml water). The presence of alkaloids was confirmed with the formation of yellowish creamy precipitate. was performed by treating the filtrate (2.0 mg) with Wagner's reagent (1.27 g iodine and 2.0 g potassium iodide dissolved in 100 ml water). The filtrate with the formation of brown or reddish-brown precipitate indicate the presence of alkaloids. 2.2.2.2. Test for carbohydrates The extract (0.5 mg each) was dissolved in 5.0 ml distilled water and filtered. The Molisch's reagent (10% -naphthol in chloroform or alcohol) was then added to particular filtrates. The forming of a reddish violet band in the junction from the filtrate and reagent indicated how the filtrate contains sugars. 2.2.2.3. Check for proteins & proteins Biuret check was completed to look for the existence of protein. Experimentally, 0.5 mg extract was incubated with equal level of 40% NaOH solution and two drops of just one 1.0% copper sulfate remedy added. The current presence of proteins was verified with the forming of violet color in the perfect solution is. To test the current presence of free of charge proteins in the components, 0.5 mg extract was subjected to two drops of ready AG-1288 0 freshly.2% Ninhydrin reagent and heated. The filtrate with aminoacids AG-1288 converted into purple or pink color. 2.2.2.4. Testing for glycosides Existence of glycosides was examined by Liebermann's check. In brief, the extracts were mixed with acetic acid (2.0 ml) and chloroform (2.0 ml) and heated and then allowed to cool. Following this, 0.5 ml H2SO4 was added to the above reaction mixture. The presence of aglycone was confirmed with the formation of green color in the reaction mixture. The presence of glycosides in the extracts were checked by Keller-Kiliani test. The extract was mixed with 4.0 ml of glacial acetic acid and 1.0 ml of sulphuric acid. A drop of 2.0 % FeCl3 was then added to the above mixture. The presence of steroidal glycosides was confirmed using the formation brownish band in the junction of liquid levels of blend. The Salkowski's check was performed to recognize the current presence of steroidal aglycone with the addition of sulphuric acidity (2.0 ml) towards the crude extract. The forming of reddish-brown colour shows the lifestyle of aglycone moiety from the steroidal glycoside in the draw out. 2.2.2.5. Check for phenols The current presence of phenol in the components was verified with the forming of bluish dark color upon adding few drops of ferric chloride (1.0 %) to 10.0 mg of extract. On the other hand, the forming of yellowish precipitate with the help of lead acetate option (10.0 %) to draw out indicated the current presence of phenols. 2.2.2.6. Testing for flavonoids The Shinoda check detected the current presence of flavonoids in the components. The crude extract was blended with concentrated pieces and HCl of magnesium. The looks of red color in the above mentioned mixture indicated the current presence of flavonoids. Furthermore, the draw out was blended with 2.0 % NaOH (2.0 ml), and dilute acidity (added slowly). The disappearance of yellowish color confirmed the current presence of flavonoids. 2.2.2.7. Check for tannins The disappearance of the colour of AG-1288 bromine drinking water (10.0 ml) upon the exposure of extract (0.5 g) indicates the existence tannins in the extract. 2.2.2.8. Check for steroids The crude draw out dissolved in drinking water (5.0 ml), blended with chloroform (2.0 ml) and focused H2SO4 leads to the introduction of red color in the lower chloroform layer, which indicates the presence of steroids. 2.2.2.9. Test for terpenoids The presence of terpenoids in the crude extract was tested by adding the chloroform (2.0 ml) to the plant extract, followed by evaporating the mixture on a water bath..

On my 39th birthday in 20016, Tim got an early morning call that his mother Sherry had died. I gave him a hug and he shuddered. I was not surprised to learn later that these were not tears of sadness or grief, but tears of relief.
After Tim's father Rodger passed away last November we began the process of surveying the details of their house, the old photos and trinkets that they kept around. We decided to do a still life representing Sherry's life through her objects. Some of her favorite sayings were "beggars can't be choosers", "you make a better door than window," and the title of this photographic piece, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride".
Creating this piece was aesthetically satisfying and emotionally unsettling for both Tim and me. Tim and I have collaborated on many still life photo illustrations at this point in our relationship. We love the creative process of working together and marveling at the end result. Tim comes from a "real artist" background, studying oil painting and sculpture in college, whereas I dabbled in the safe periphery of Art History, not satisfying my creative juices until taking up digital photography over a decade after my first college career.
Tim brought home a box of Sherry's objects from his second to last trip to the Woodlands and I began to build a set to display them and tell her story. What looked like an altar to Sherry in our kitchen disconcerted both of us while it was waiting to be photographed. The photographic study I worked on above was intentionally drab and monotone. I also wanted to include a framed photo of sweet Tim as a boy, obscured by Sherry's drinking addiction, and a picture of Sherry's mother, Elaine, in the background. One glance at Elaine and the viewer can guess what kind of mother she had, which may explain how Sherry suffered. Both of Sherry's parents were alcoholics and her mother was known to be cruel and cantankerous, while demanding absolute loyalty from Sherry. The overall tone and color scheme of the piece changed dramatically with the addition of Rosé wine, Sherry's favorite, and a brightly colored Turquoise ashtray.
The objects that make up the central theme of the photo are a cigarette in an ashtray and Rosé wine. Sherry smoked for more than forty years and drank for about as long. Due to the difficulty getting the truth out of Rodger about Sherry's death, we can only speculate how much Sherry's alcoholism contributed to her stroke and death at the age of 69.
The Precious Moments figurine is praying and wearing a pair of reindeer horns. Tim hastily selected this figurine from Sherry's large collection, but I think it perfectly captures Sherry's superficial religiosity. Although she never talked about God or Jesus, nor attended church with her family, sometimes around Christmas she would get drunk and then complain that the boys didn't know the "true meaning of Christmas".
Sherry's Precious Moments collection amassed over the years when Rodger would take Tim and his older brother Scott out to the store to "pick out" the figurine that Sherry had pre-selected for her birthday. Rodger carefully constructed a world aiming to please, or at least not anger Sherry. Her wrath could mean the difference between walking on eggshells or being cruelly abused. Tim learned to avoid her and give her just enough of whatever she demanded to get her to leave him alone.
We included a clock as a memento mori. A sliver amphora cup spills over with jewelry and acts as a mirror, symbolizing vanity and materialism.
A photo of Sherry and Rodger is tacked to the wall, falling out of its paper booklet frame. This is one of the only photos I've seen in which both of them are smiling.
Tim replaced the solo portrait of himself with a snapshot of he and his brother. There were few happy times in their childhood. Many alcoholic parents present the outward appearance of a "normal" family. I did not grow up in an Alcoholic family unit, although thanks to my religious upbringing, I am familiar with putting on a good show for the world. Tim always felt like something was deeply wrong in his childhood. He started suffering from depression and anxiety early in his life, and by the time he was a young teenager he asked Sherry if he could get help. She sneered at him, "head shrinks are for crazy people!", successfully shutting him down and preventing any chance that an outside party would discover Rodger's and her secret life of neglect and abuse.
Finally, the flowers in the bouquet were carefully selected to include the pungent Narcissus, blackberry sprigs (symbols of religious neglect and carelessness), and thistle which punished me as I arranged the flowers with my bare fingers.
There is a part of me that hesitates to write so uncharitably about Sherry, a part that is scared to speak ill of the dead, and afraid of looking spiteful. Thanks to Sherry and Rodger, Tim and I have dedicated our lives to healing and growing together. We have a second chance with our son Jack to heal the family secrets and lies, and as is age-appropriate share the truth with him. The family legacy of cover-ups, caretaking, enabling, mental illness and addiction have been burned to ashes and the physical remains will be cast to the winds and ocean when our family moves to Portland to be close to Scott, his wife and his kind, sensitive and beautiful daughters.
Sherry loved her grandchildren. She downloaded all the photos of Jack I posted on Facebook to her personal computer, but she never met him. The only framed photos in their house were of their four grandchildren.
Tim remembers Sherry reading the Velveteen Rabbit to him as a child.
She used to call him "mouse" as a term of endearment.
I never got to see the loving, nurturing side of Sherry. Her loving side came out pretty rarely for Tim, and unfortunately was often alcohol-induced which was terrifying to him as a child. These three sweet anecdotes I know about Sherry are a testament that within everybody is a loving presence that can become obscured. My life's mission has become removing these obstacles.
Rest in peace Sherry and Rodger.
One of Tim's and my favorite things to do is play around with beverage photography in the studio. We love trying out special effects for frozen drinks, condensation, different types of ices, drink splashes, you name it. So when we were approached by craft whiskey Oak & Eden to shoot their product photography and cocktail recipes for their website, we were excited to put our drink styling skills to the test.
It's always a pleasure to work with the amazingly talented graphic artist and designer Wes Wooddell who worked on the branding, artwork, and website for Oak & Eden. Wes introduced us to Joe Giildenzopf, one of the founding brothers of Oak & Eden. Joe and his brother developed a patented process for finishing their whiskey and rye products with a charred oak spire, which gives their whiskey a unique, rich profile. We incorporated their signature wooden spire in some of the drink shots and created a complex studio lighting set-up to ensure that the wooden spire features prominently in the bottle shots.
Shooting a good number of beverages in one day was an especially fun challenge. We really got to put our skills with precision and styling to the test (as well as balance carrying drinks to the set and pouring without spilling a drop; nobody breathe!) The client was thrilled with the results, and so were we. Of course we celebrated by sampling some of the product. Oak & Eden will be commercially available in early 2018. Check out their website for more info.

Tim and I are working with the folks over at Agency Access to help with our photography studio marketing. We're putting together email promos and printed mailers, and we wanted some striking images that grab the viewer's attention. I recently read about food trends taking over Instagram, like decadent milkshakes, over-the-top desserts, things including edible gold, you get the point. I thought it would be a fun project to show the age of opulence and instant gratification via the theme "freak shake". We wanted to nod to popular food culture, so we included household names like Little Debbie's and Hostess in the freak shake toppings.
Tim and I planned well for this project, sketching out the layout, angle, color scheme and mood for the food photography. I went shopping for all the ingredients, and when the time came, we took a half day shooting the shake. Low and behold, the food styling was highly complicated for this! Our first couple attempts were a mess. We had to practice many times getting the caramel to stay in jut the right place, as it cascades over the glass, and discovered that instead of whipped cream, good-old cool whip holds its shape...forever. We tried to salvage some of the shots from the first shoot, but it just didn't have the impact we wanted. The angle was boring and the food styling was sloppy, and not in a good way.
Tim and I went back to the drawing board, perfected the food styling with lots of skewers holding up the food items and stand-ins to shoot with. The next shoot was a success! We narrowed down the dramatic angle first, then crafted the perfect studio lighting on the "stand-in". Once we had the hero shake, we shot additional details. Fortunately the hero was the best shot, and you can the results below. Many thanks to Tim's masterful retouching skills to give the final "pop" and polish to the image. We can't wait to send out the mailers!

It was quite a treat to get to travel to the gorgeous Texas Hill Country to shoot for Miiller's Smokehouse. Located in Llano, Texas Miiller's Smokehouse was looking to update their catalog and website with new product photography. During the preproduction meeting I got to meet the lovely owners Bryan and Lisa and we got a tour of the smokehouse. The folks at Miiller's were so hospitable and accommodating, I just knew this photo shoot would go off without a hitch. Food photography items included whole smoked turkeys, prime rib, tenderloins, bacon, and bone-in hams. With these complex food items, I enlisted the help of Darcy Folsom, a veteran food stylist new to the Austin market. Darcy has a long history with catalog food photography, and was also a great fit culturally for working with Miiller's.
Stylistically, this shoot was a bit of a departure from our bright product images. The client had a vision of a rugged, outdoorsy, contemporary style. After some prop shopping at vintage stores and antiques shops we had the perfect accents for the food to take center stage and be complemented by dark and moody studio lighting.
After a few meetings and conference calls, we were ready for a full day shoot on location at Miller's. We set up the portable photography studio in their packing room, close to the kitchen. It was an aggressive shoot, but we assembled an amazing team and skillfully knocked out all items on the shot list. Some of my favorites are below.
Watching a master food stylist work her magic is fascinating. I definitely learned a few styling tricks myself and it was cool to see how Darcy made ribbons of bacon perfectly cascade out of the pan.
I can't wait to see the final results of their holiday catalog and hear about how new food and product photography has helped increase their sales.
I don't even remember how we came up for the concept of this shoot. Perhaps it had to do with Tim and I both being ex-smokers, but loving the way smoke looks as it wafts gently, creating patterns reminiscent of incense burning. It also may have been the dining table we own, something that Tim picked up at a thrift store during his divorce. In any case, we came up with the idea to shoot a scene that looks like an old diner breakfast back when men were men, they smoked, drank black coffee, and ate eggs and bacon for breakfast.
The prop shopping may have been the most fun part of this shoot. We scoured antique stores here in Austin until we found the perfect gold ashtray, bought some cheap tableware from restaurant supply stores and even hit some Dollar Stores. We started out using sad battery-hen eggs you get in the Styrofoam containers (wrong on so many levels) but the yolks were anemic, so we ended up using our favorite brand, Vital Farms, which promises bright orange, sunset-colored yolks. We even bought Pall Mall cigarettes and pink packets of sweetener to complete the look. Tim came up with the composition to include the table's metal banding framing the bottom of the picture, and we set up the hero shot that way. Then I nabbed some overhead shots of the table. We also loved the ripped look of our red vinyl kitchen stools, so we included that in the background for the test shoot of cigarettes and coffee.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as we do. Gross, but pretty, right?
What a pleasure to have High Brew Coffee over to the home studio for a product and lifestyle photo shoot. High Brew wanted their colorful cans to stand out boldly against a neutral, yet stylish background. During the drink photography preproduction meeting, we came up with the idea of shooting on a concrete surface with a white background. Additionally, it was important for the image elements (the can, flavor indicators, surface and background) to be flexible and moveable for future use. Fortunately Tim, our master retoucher, is able to create layered Photoshop files with each element, including shadows, on a separate knock-out layer. In a few weekends Tim and I got busy creating a custom concrete surface to shoot on and mastered the art of applying condensation drops to the cans by hand. All the hard prep work paid off, as the client was happy with the results and the two day shoot went off without a hitch. One of my personal favorite varieties is the Salted Caramel, below. It not only tastes delicious and indulgent, but the flavor indicators next to the product turned out gorgeously. Tim also had fun playing with some of the images with splash photography and some experimental compositions.
Over the Zen Buddhist holiday/meditation period of Rohatsu, my partner Tim Brisko and I shot an oryoki dining scene to commemorate the anniversary of Buddha's Enlightenment. Oryoki, meaning "just enough" is an eating ceremony practiced in Zen monasteries. Eating utensils are placed carefully, linens are folded just so, and food is eaten in a very specific order, all with chanting and bowing thrown in the mix. This collaboration project captures the beautiful complexity of a humble and seemingly simple meal. Happy belated Bodhi Day and a happy, healthy 2017 to all!
I recently worked with my partner Tim Brisko on a new still life photo. We wanted to combine food photography with photo illustration. In this piece, Persephone, we explore the symbolism of the myth of Persephone, the young maiden, daughter of Demeter, who found herself torn between two worlds, the underworld of Hades and the earth of her mother. The pomegranate represents Persephone, split in two between her husband king of the underworld and her mother, goddess of the harvest and the seasons. Three lone pomegranate seeds have fallen on the table, representing the three seeds she ate while in the underworld, which sealed her fate as queen of the underworld. Hades is represented by the hourglass and Demeter by the shafts of wheat. Foliage continues to grow, as nature always returns and takes over the earth. The moth was a fun addition, with a nod to Dutch and Renaissance still life painters, who would often include a hyper-realistic living element, such as an insect, as a trompe l'oeil, or trick of the eye. Thankfully Tim is a very talented retoucher and was able to add the moth in post production seamlessly. We enjoyed working on this project together and look forward to future creative collaborations.

November Road Trip: From Shaker To Shaker
Follow the Shakers, whose outstanding craftsmanship inspires a little early holiday gift shopping, stopping for some sightseeing along the scenic route that connects their two New Hampshire villages.
Begin in Canterbury, at Canterbury Shaker Village, open Friday-Sunday through December 7. Along with the homes and workshops of the Shaker brothers and sisters, the village has special holiday programs (December 6-7 includes an artisans marketplace and gingerbread showcase) and an outstanding shop featuring handcrafted wooden boxes, baskets, brooms, soaps and peg rails, as well as books about the Shakers and their crafts. The Shaker Table Restaurant is open Monday-Saturday for lunch from 11:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and for Sunday brunch from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Drive south (left) from the village, turning right toward Canterbury Center, perhaps with a stop at the community-owned Canterbury Country Store. Turn left on Route 132 and head south to the intersection with Route 4 at I-93 exit 17. Follow Route 4 west through Boscawen and Salisbury. In Andover, where Route 4 joins briefly with Route 11, quilting enthusiasts will want to look for The Constant Quilter at the corner of Pancake Road.
In Potter Place, a charming ensemble of buildings preserved by the Andover Historical Society include the Emons Store and Post Office and Potter Place Station, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The museum is closed after October, but you can look into the stationmaster's office, and see the Northern Railroad Caboose and Snow Plow outside.
Route 4-A goes to the right, but a short detour straight on Route 11 leads to Elkins, and La Meridiana Restaurant, where Italian-born Chef Piero Canuto creates lunch and dinner from locally grown ingredients. Return to the junction with Route 4-A, looking for the Cilleyville Covered Bridge, an 1887 town lattice truss bridge over Pleasant Brook. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Follow Route 4-A northwest through Wilmot and Enfield Center. The road borders Mascoma Lake, and on the right you will see the six-story granite Great Stone Dwelling, the largest Shaker dwelling house ever constructed. Inside, the Enfield Shaker Museum tells the story of the village and the work of the people who lived there through furniture, tools, clothing, photographs and farm implements.
The gift shop showcases the work of local craftsmen who create authentic Shaker-style crafts, including oval boxes, wooden boxes and trays, baskets, tins of Shaker herbs and drying racks, hand-woven table linens, tinware, candles and pottery. The village, which was at its height in the mid-19th century, is on the National Register of Historic Places as a Historic Village.
Route 4-A rejoins Route 4 in Mascoma, continuing on to Lebanon. Before reaching the Common, look for AVA Gallery, where the works of New Hampshire artists are featured in changing exhibitions.
Follow Route 120 to Hanover, a good place to let Shakers inspire you to search out contemporary artists and craftspeople at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen gallery. From handmade jewelry and wearable art to metalwork and furniture, the gallery provides a chance to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts.
While in town, stop at the Hood Museum of Art or to admire the murals by José Clemente Orozco in the ground floor of the Baker Library at Dartmouth.
Length of trip: About 70 miles

HotelERP is a generic solution for Hotel/Restaurant Management in OpenERP. Based on the existing solutions and the requirement studies conducted, we identified the need of a simple but comprehensive solution, affordable to small/mid sized segments. Basically our solution addresses the following sections.


I had a relatively Manila based schedule work wise so I decided to order another batch of green juices from Rawlicious. This time around, I tried 2 new flavors.
If you're a fan of bananas then you will love this version since you can taste it prominently. The Green Herb Juan was a bit textured but not too much that it felt weird. It would be pretty fantastic to pair this drink with a peanut butter sandwich.
The presence of the pineapple gives the Dream Casanova a citrus punch. It was my first time to try a smoothie with pineapple so I loved this because it was different from the previous flavors I ordered. I'm not a pineapple lover but for the Dream Casanova, I would gladly have it any day.
Their drinks come in 2 sizes: 500ml (P105) and 1 liter (P195) and are made fresh. Since they don't have preservatives, you need to consume your order in 2-3 days upon receiving them. If you live or work in the Makati, Fort, Rockwell, Ortigas, Greenhills, Mandaluyong and parts of Q.C. areas, you are in luck because they deliver there every Tuesday and Friday! There is no additional charge for the delivery but you their minimum order is 2 500ml bottles. They only accept cash on delivery. You can also visit their booth every Sunday at the Organic Market at Legaspi Village.

Executed in a documentary style, the commercial opens with a man writing on his PC at work. His off camera voice-over identifies him as a writer for CSI, the forensic crime show. As he gets ready to leave for the night, he tells us that his job entails long hours of research and that he often takes his work home. Nothing unusual there, but the viewer soon discovers the work involves a cadaver. He picks the body up off a gurney and awkwardly begins his journey home. He passes a bored cleaning lady, a disinterested security guard, before he finally gets the cadaver into his car for the ride home. All the while he tells us more about the way he approaches his work. With much difficulty, he manages to get the body inside his house ending with the day and time we can watch CSI.

NMSU Black Students Association holds its first Juneteenth celebration
Miranda Cyr
Correction: This version correctly states that Juneteenth remembers the day slavery was finally abolished in Texas on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The 13th Amendment was not passed until Jan. 31, 1865.
LAS CRUCES - New Mexico State University's Black Student Association and Black Programs, in collaboration with the Associated Students of NMSU, hosted a Juneteenth celebration on Friday.
Juneteenth remembers the day slavery was finally abolished in Texas on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The 13th Amendment was not passed until Jan. 31, 1865. Although slavery had been illegal, there were still towns where slaves had not yet been informed that they were free.
"Growing up, it wasn't common to see people know what Juneteenth is," said Bianca Wright, vice president of the Black Student Association and senior at NMSU. "It was more-so a celebration between me and my siblings… Right now, we're wanted to educate people about the history of Juneteenth, and getting people out there to register to vote."
This was the first time NMSU held a Juneteenth celebration on its campus, which drew around 200 spectators. The organizers promoted the event with "Celebrate. Educate. Agitate." — to not only remember the hardships of the past, but also to highlight the successes and contributions of Black people throughout history.
In response to the recent killing of George Floyd and other cases of police brutality, several protests and vigils have occurred recently in Las Cruces. Christopher Brooks, NMSU master's student and president of the Black Student Association at NMSU, said he participated in those gatherings and watched as they began to grow.
"I had been thinking about what can we, as an NMSU community, do to just really be an example for others to emulate when it comes to embracing the African American community?" Brooks said. "It's an opportunity for us to really do something on the campus."
What's happening at NMSU? Stay informed with a subscription to the Sun-News.
Brooks said he is not a social activist, "I don't even know where to start." But this movement has been keeping him up at night. The hour-and-a-half-long Juneteenth event was planned in three weeks.
The celebration underlined Black excellence by featuring testimonials, spoken word and poetry, dance, prayer and music.
Justice Adler presented her spoken word poetry on the stage as the sun set: "Strong woman. Strong Black woman. May I remind you how far we've come. We have so much farther yet to go, but maybe you are the one."
Adler, NMSU senior and secretary of the Black Student Association, said the event allowed her to more closely connect with the Black community. Because she is of mixed race, she said she didn't feel as connected to her Black side at times. Through the Juneteenth event and the Black Student Association, she's been able to relate more closely to the community.

"It's really important... for everyone to be seen," Adler said. "You don't want to just go through this life like, 'Nobody really know I'm here.'"
Peter Turner, acting director for Black Programs at NMSU and director of the First Year Initiatives, has helped host three previous vigils in the past month, but this is the first to be held on NMSU ground.
"We're a large institution in this area, so we carry a lot of responsibility," Turner said. "This is a perfect time for the students to raise their voices and find a constructive way to direct this energy."
Turner said he's not the type to lead this sort of initiative, but when he saw the incident with George Floyd, he felt he needed to do something. He himself experienced a conflict with law enforcement that left him traumatized.
The emotions he had felt at that time – anger, helplessness – resurfaced as he watched what was happening in Minnesota.
"Where I'm coming from is (as) one of those people who've tried to do all the right things, to wear the right clothes, to get an education, to be around the right people, to avoid the wrong people," Turner said. "But when you do all those things, and people… don't see that work, they only see the color of your skin, it just shatters you."
Brooks said that the event doesn't end at recognition; a part of the gathering focused on a call to action to register to vote and participate in local elections.
To the side of the stage, the Associated Students of NMSU promoted a QR code that brings users directly to the voter registration site. Brooks said that obstacles are becoming more prevalent that keep people from voting, such as voting site locations being more difficult to access.

"People of color have really, over time, (begun) to believe that our vote doesn't count," Brooks said. "If it doesn't count, why are they doing everything they can to keep you from doing it?"
Both Brooks and Turner said this is not the last Juneteenth celebration that will be held at NMSU.
Brooks said he received overwhelming support from different departments at NMSU. With this community, he and the association plan to take more actions in the future.
"It's just a matter of starting – you've got to start somewhere," Brooks said. "Skin should not be considered a weapon. I shouldn't be looked at as a threat to anyone just because of the pigmentation of my skin."

Maybe the best rock album of 2005, seriously!
Wow! John Mayer can do rock'n'roll? Yes, and he does it well. Actually, this is best described as an R&B album, and I mean R&B in the 1950's sense, not the modern. John Mayer and his solid rythm section float effortlessly from blues-rock to blues(white-boy blues, but well done) to R&B to ballads. The best song is track 3, which is a cover of a relatively unknown Jimi Hendrix jem, and JM3 knock it out of the park! This is one of those albums you can put in your car stereo and listen to from start to finish and not be disappointed once. This album also stays good after repeated listens, and that is the true mark of a great album. I wish every John Mayer album was this good. BUY IT!!!
Ever since his first album "Inside wants out" I have been a fan of Mr. Mayer. The way he has impacted music is absolutely astonishing. You This album is by far one of my favorites! Steve Jordan (Drummer) compliments Mayer's guitar playing with a jazzy yet pop-like twist. Hard not to want to listen to the whole thing all the way through!

Q: Find command in linux bash shell the find command is:
find ./ \( -path dir_a -o -path dir_b \) -prune

I want to convert to:
./find.sh dir_a dir_b

so my code (is doesn't work):
function myfind() {
   num=1
   tmp=""
   for i in $@
   do
       tmp="$tmp -path './$i' "
       if [ $((num++)) -ne $# ]
       then
           tmp="${tmp} -o"
       fi
   done
   echo $tmp # this is ok!!
   find ./ \( $tmp \) -prune # is doesn't work, why???
}

A: What you are attempting cannot be solved in the general case with "classic sh" because you need your script to work correctly with directories named * or '"[ ]"', and plain old flat strings simply don't allow that to be properly quoted (easily, or even with a fair amount of complexity).  Fortunately, as suggested in a comment, Bash arrays allow you to do this with all the necessary level of control.  Just make sure to always use quotes around anything which could contain a file name.
#!/bin/bash
dir_args=()
oh=
for i; do
    dir_args+=($oh '-path' "$i")
    oh='-o'
done
find . \( "${dir_args[@]}" \) -prune

Q: 1st) Identify Column 2nd) Identify value in column 3) Insert data from that row into array I am trying to gather the horizontal data (left to right) Beginning in cell I10 - I am first trying to code the macro to identify the correct ledger account in column I. Column I is below with I:10 pepresenting the column I want, Dividend Income
Ledger Account
Prior Shares Outstanding
Current Shares Outstanding
Current Share Activity
Previous Net Assets
Current Net Assets
Net Asset Change
Market Value
Trading Gain Loss
Dividend Income

I have the below code, I am trying to insert the the data in the cells to the RIGHT of I10 (I:10 to Z:10) into an array.
Sub Sample()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim MyAr As Variant
    Dim SearchString As String
    Dim aCell As Range
    Dim i As Long

    SearchString = "Ledger Account"

    '~~> Change this as applicable
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)

    With ws
        Set aCell = .Columns(1).Find(What:=SearchString, LookIn:=xlValues, _
                    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

        If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
            '~~> 5 Denotes the 5th column i.e Column "E"
            '~~> Amend as applicable
            '~~> Store the values From say Col B to E in the array
            MyAr = Application.Transpose( _
                                         .Range(.Cells(aCell.Row, 2), _
                                                .Cells(aCell.Row, 5) _
                                                ).Value _
                                        )

            '~~> Check what is in the array
            For i = LBound(MyAr) To UBound(MyAr)
                Debug.Print MyAr(i, 1)
            Next i
        End If
    End With
End Sub

A: I find your question confusing.
Example 1: what is I:10 to Z:10?  Do you mean I10 to Z10 or I10:Z10?  The colon goes between two single cell addresses to define a range.
Example 2: the text implies the list of account names are in column I (=9) but your code searches column 1 (=A).
In this answer I give you information that I hope will point you in the correct direction.

Consider: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).
The user can have several workbooks open.  Let us call then A, B, C and D.  The user can have A active but call a macro in D.  When this situation is possible, you can use ActiveWorkbook to refer to the active workbook and ThisWorkbook to refer to the workbook containing the macro.  If you think there is a possibility that the user will call the macro from another workbook, you are correct to specifically identify that you want a worksheet from the workbook containing the macro.  Otherwise Set ws = Sheets(1) would have given you a worksheet within the active workbook.
Avoid Sheets(1) or Sheets(2).  Here the 1 and 2 refer to the sequence within the tab row which the user can change easily either deliberately or accidentally.  Create a new workbook and copy this code to a module:
Option Explicit
Sub Test1()

  Dim InxWsht As Long

  For InxWsht = 1 To Worksheets.Count
    Debug.Print Worksheets(InxWsht).Name
  Next

End Sub

If you have an English version of Excel with the default number of sheets, this macro will output the following to the Immediate Window:
Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3

Now move Sheet2 so it is after Sheet3 and rerun the macro.  The output is now:
Sheet1
Sheet3
Sheet2

Always identify worksheets by name; for example: Worksheets("Ledgers") so the user cannot accidentally break your macro.

Consider Set aCell = .Columns(1).Find . . .
As I said this searches column 1 although your text says column I.  This might just be a typographical error but it is better to avoid using literals for columns in the body of your code.  Columns move as new columns are added or the users want a new sequence.  Searching through code trying to identify which numbers refer to a column so you can update them can be a nightmare which is easily avoided.
Const ColName As Long = 9

or
Const ColName As String = "I"

allows you to write
Set aCell = .Columns(ColName).Find . . .

Now if the column containing the ledger names moves, one change at the top updates the code.  There is also the advantage that "ColName" means something to a future maintenance programmer (which might be you).  If you had ever tried to update a macro in which the author refers to 20 different columns by number, you would understand why I like names.

I loaded your list of names to column "A" of worksheet "Ledgers".  Below is a modified version of your macro.  Study my changes and attempt to understand why I made them.  Come back with questions as necessary but the more you can work out for yourself, the faster you will develop.
Sub Sample()

    Const ColName As Long = 1
    Const ColFirstWanted As Long = 2

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim MyAr As Variant
    Dim SearchString As String
    Dim aCell As Range
    Dim ColCrnt As Long   ' Avoid names like i; they can get very confusing.
    Dim ColLast As Long

    SearchString = "Dividend Income"

    '~~> Change this as applicable
    Set ws = Worksheets("Ledgers")

    With ws
        Set aCell = .Columns(ColName).Find(What:=SearchString, LookIn:=xlValues, _
                    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                    MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

        If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
            ' Find last used column in row
            ColLast = .Cells(aCell.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

            '~~> Amend as applicable
            '~~> Store the values From say Col B to E in the array
            '## Note: Transpose is slow when called from VBA.
            MyAr = .Range(.Cells(aCell.Row, ColFirstWanted), .Cells(aCell.Row, ColLast)).Value

            '~~> Check what is in the array
            ' ## Note: Although the worksheet row is not 1 and the first column is not 1,
