Grandparent Scam Incidents
WRPS Issue Fraud Warning After Older Adults Targeted
Waterloo Regional Police Service are issuing a warning to older adults in the community after receiving several reports of frauds targeting this population.
In the grandparent scam (also known as the emergency scam), the fraudster contacts the victim, claiming that a family member is in crisis and needs money. While the fraudster can claim to be any member of the family (e.g., aunt, uncle, child, spouse) or friend, grandparents may be particularly vulnerable. Typically, a call is made from someone claiming to be the victim's grandchild. They will state they are in trouble, such as having been arrested or involved in a collision, and need money. Usually, the victim is instructed to send money immediately. Sometimes a second call will be placed from someone pretending to be a lawyer or police officer.
On February 23, 2022, at approximately 7:05 p.m., police received a report of 76-year-old and 79-year-old Cambridge grandparents who were targets of this scam. They received a phone call from a male claiming to be their grandson, who told them he had been in an accident and was in custody. The fraudster instructed them he needed $14,000 to cover the damages. He further instructed them to withdraw these funds in cash from the bank and to say it was for home renovations if questioned. In this instance, the fraudster actually attended the victims' home in person, obtaining over $14,000 in cash.
A similar incident occurred earlier in the day in Cambridge, where victims were defrauded out of over $4,000.
The suspect in both incidents is described as a white male, approximately 5'6" tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.
The investigations into these frauds are ongoing by Waterloo Regional Police Service's Organized Financial Crime Team.
To protect yourself and others from this type of scam, consider the following:
Take time to think. The fraudster will make it sound urgent to pressure you.
Contact the family member in question. Emotions might be running high but take the time to check.
Ask questions only family members would know.
Call someone you trust or police for an opinion about the call (fraudsters will say they don't want anyone to know because they are embarrassed).
Do not send any money.
If you believe you have been a victim of a similar scam, you can file a complaint with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or contact Waterloo Regional Police at 519-570-9777.

So if I understand correctly, they are using this logo on the 3rd jersey: And the logo above on the sleeves. Is this correct?
I'm assuming this isn't used either. What happened to it?
Cards black would be great. Cowboys do need to match the blues. Pats need a red alt. Bucs need black alt. G-men need a stripe or 2 on the sleeves of the jerseys.
I was wondering if you guys could answer a few questions about some NHL logos for me. Is this logo used at all by the team? On merchandise, or anything? The one on the left.
I love the idea. Being a NU baseball nut, I must say they are amazing. The script is a little off though. The gray hat is great.
I still vote for Nebraska. Go Huskers!
Keep voting! ISU doesnt even have a team. Go Nebraska!
The Rams one is used around the stadium a lot.
That Nuggets logo is the main one on the court this year.
The Jazz use that logo on their website.
The QB in the stadium looks like Eli Manning.

Q: ASP.NET URL and XSS In my application (ASP.NET) i have to localize the page. In the top corder there are classic flag interface to choose among supported languages.
Each flag has it own language calculated server side (i need to tranlsate also the page slug) so :

*

*en : mysite.com/customer_support?language=en

*de : mysite.com/benutzer-support?language=de

As you can see also the link change (not only url parameter) so i have to do this localization server side, and procedee that way

    <% foreach (string languageCode in this.Configuration?.ActiveLanguages)  {%>

            <a class="dropdown-item nav-link text-nowrap" href="<%=_myUrlObject.Localize(languageCode).UpdateParameter("languageCode",languageCode )%>" >
            <img src="/Images/Flags/<%=languageCode%>.svg" height="12" width="16" />

    <% } %>

Where _myUrlObject is an instance of custom class that basically act similary to Uri class but let me localize the slug.
Problem is that class does not handle query string that survive as it arrive from client.
So if i receive :
mysite.com/customer_support?language=en&someEvilData
I will produce the flags including someEvilData sent by the client.
It seems to me that whatever it come, it's urlencoded, but i ask myself if there is some character combination that may escape the href quote, leading to XSS :
<%=_myUrlObject.Localize(languageCode).UpdateParameter("language",languageCode )%>" > //eg : de
        |
        V
href="mysite.com/benutzer-support?language=de&someEvilData" >

Seems to me that because all query strings are url encoded, is not possible to evade href quotes, but it's a my guess and i am not sure. Is there something i need to be concerned?

Flirting with Disaster
The U.S. Debt and the World Economy
Well, the end of the world as we know it was narrowly averted after a minority of those crazy Republicans in Congress decided it would be better to surrender — for now — than to plunge the nation into an economic depression it might never escape from.
That's not hyperbole, either. In fact, it might even be underestimating what could have happened if Congress hadn't increased the debt ceiling last week. Some economists believe a U.S. default could have started a chain reaction that would ultimately result in destroying the value of the dollar in ways that couldn't be remedied — ever.
This is because, at least since World War II, the world's economic system has been tied to the belief that the United States of America will always honor its obligations. That's why countries — even countries that don't like us — peg their currencies to the dollar … not gold, not the Euro, or some other currency or commodity.
Charley Ballard, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, may know more about this state's economy than anyone, and his book, Michigan's Economic Future, ought to be standard reading for anyone trying to figure it out.
When I asked him a week ago what would happen if Congress hadn't raised the debt limit, he admitted nobody knew precisely what the outcome would be — any more than what would happen in a nuclear war.
"But I and other economists believe that if the U.S. were to default on its debt, it could have devastating effects on the entire world economy," he said. Part of this is psychological: everybody, he noted, from children who buy U.S. savings bonds to big-time investors in U.S. Treasury notes — to terrorists — "have always had complete confidence that the U.S. will honor its obligations." Violating that would be an act of infidelity that would have shaken the world's banking system to its foundations.
"Five years ago, with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, we saw what happens to financial markets when there is a major loss of trust," Ballard told me. When that giant investment bank went belly-up, "… investors [asked], 'If we can't trust Lehman, who can we trust?'"
Ballard then added, "As a result, credit froze, and we got the worst recession of our lifetime. But comparing Lehman Brothers to what would happen if the U.S. Treasury defaulted "would be like comparing a minnow to a whale."
We dodged that — for now — on Oct. 16, when Speaker of the House John Boehner threw in the towel, and Congress voted to suspend the debt ceiling until Feb. 7. Still, a majority — 144 out of 234 — of Republicans voted to keep us on course to disaster.
They included two local members of Congress, "Krazy Kerry" Bentivolio of Milford and Candice Miller of Harrison Township in Macomb County. Both, evidently, have been swigging stale Tea Party Kool-Aid, though Miller, at least, should have known better.
This is all worth rehashing because we'll be facing it again in barely more than three months. Someday, the temptation to take us over the brink may be too much for the crazies.
The GOP's wackos may decide — as many of them already have – to listen to idiots like Ted Yoho, a freshman congressman from Florida, who actually says — and believes — the federal government is no different than his animal veterinary practice. He thinks default would be a great idea that would tell the world "America is finally addressing [its] problem."
Well, those of us who don't want most of our retirement savings to go up in smoke overnight need to do whatever they can to keep the grown-ups in charge.
As they say, write your damn congressman. Call, text, tweet and phone your congressman — make noise, campaign for the right people and do whatever, by any means necessary.
It's your future those nutballs could destroy, comrades.
Back in Lansing
Fortunately, our state lawmakers have no power to threaten the world or even the national economy. In fact, they are incapable of doing anything sensible like, for instance, coming up with the money to fix our roads.
Nor are they willing to go back and save Michigan $600 million-plus dollars by giving the Medicaid expansion immediate effect. They did strike a blow for greatness last week, however: They passed a bill to cut off unemployment benefits for anyone who refuses or fails a drug test.
Yes, sir, nothing more satisfying than striking a meaningless blow against substance abuse, especially when you can whack the poor while doing so. This time the hypocrisy is especially delicious: Remember those two recent former Speakers of the House — Democrat Andy Dillon and Republican Craig DeRoche — each of whom had severe and public alcohol abuse problems? (DeRoche has been arrested more than once and alcohol may have cost Dillon both his marriage and his job as state treasurer.)
One would think — at least for consistency's sake — that state lawmakers who are trying to rescind monies allotted for those unemployed substance abusers would also take back those legislative substance abusers' pensions at the same time?
Naturally, something that transparent and fair-minded never even crossed their little freeloadin' minds, but think about this: Yes, some of the jobless do have substance problems. But, first of all, what collective good comes about by cutting off their unemployment compensation?
Gee, what will they then do? Get a big loan (not from Lehman Brothers) to go back to school and end up becoming electrical engineers or nuclear physicists? Perhaps.
But, then again, with so few jobs available in our jobless recovery, they could end up turning to crime — maybe even violent crime — to fill their stomachs and support their habits.
I wonder which choice is more likely?
Gutless Gov. Rick Snyder will, naturally, sign this into law. After that, word is our lawmakers will turn to another really important task. No, not fixing the schools. Not making it possible for more kids to go to college. No, this is far more important.
They plan to take up another bill that would allow Big Brother to force welfare recipients to undergo drug testing anytime there is even any suspicion they might be doing any drugs. Then they, too, will be deprived of benefits.
What a lovely, generous state. Don't forget to vote for the new state motto: "Pedicabo Páuperem!"
Pleasant Ridge's
Philosopher King
For years, politicians, reporters and everyone in the know has known that if you wanted sound, reliable population data, you could get it from Kurt Metzger — Detroit's numbers guru. Metzger worked for the U.S. Census Bureau for years and later ran the Michigan Metropolitan Information Center at Wayne State University.
At 66, he is taking his career in a new direction by running for mayor of his tiny suburb, Pleasant Ridge, which, in case you aren't sure, is a bedroom community of older, comfortable homes a half-square mile in size, abutting both sides of Woodward Avenue. The larger, more stately homes tend to be on the west; the smaller, more modest homes, where Metzger lives, are on the east — an area residents sardonically call "Peasant Ridge."
There probably isn't anyone as aware of the changing nature of this area's population, or what cities need to do to remain healthy and prosperous. The ancient Greeks used to think the ideal form of government would consist of being led by what they thought of as a "philosopher king."
It would be fascinating to see what someone who really understands population patterns, and how this area works, would do acting as mayor of his own small town.

In this article multiple pieces of chromed tanned leather with a thickness of 1.00 mm were used to sew together by the utilization of a selected cutting needle count (LR90) to assemble stitch and turn seam with a definite dimension for the study. The seam was assembled with different SPC (stitches per cm) (3, 4, 5 and 6) with specific four types of SC (stitch construction) i.e. lock (301), chain (401), zig-zag (304) and also combination of 401 and 304 to observe the results and other parameters like material, machine, thread were kept unchanged which may influence the strength of seam. The objective assessment was to find out the best combination of SPC (stitches per cm) and class of stitch construction (SC) that presented the best seam performance or seam quality in terms of seam strength, seam efficiency and thickness strain. Here, ASTM D 1683 method was followed to determine the seam strength and it was revealed that seam strength amplified with the increase of SPC up to certain level. The seam with 301 SC at 3 SPC provided the best seam performance whereas seam with combination (401 and 304) at 3 SPC shown significant seam strength as well.
Keywords: SC, SPC, seam, seam strength, seam efficiency, thickness strain.


Being the world's most populous country with a population of over 1.38 billion, China has a great potential to grow its football industry to the world's largest. Though China is now on par with the averages in Serie A and Ligue 1 in term of average attendance per game compared, things are changing quickly because Chinese Super League has just experienced a growth of 16.8% last year in term of overall attendance and is expecting the current season to be a better one. Some analysis believe that by 2018, the Chinese Super League will be the third most-watched soccer league in the world following the English Premier League and the Bundesliga (theguardian.com 2016).
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao F.C. (Chinese: 广州恒大淘宝足球俱乐部) is the industry leader and most successful club with biggest spending, widest influence, most national members, strongest foreign players as well as richest club owners in China. Guangzhou Evergrande is jointly owned by Evergrande Real Estate Group and Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba who purchased a 50% stake in the Club for a reported 1.2 billion yuan ($192m; £114m) two years ago (bbc.com 2014).
For decades, football in China has been a source of national disgrace which is unacceptable to the government and its people. Now, China's football-loving President Xi Jinping is targeting at changing China into a powerhouse of football game. To achieve this goal, the Chinese government are taking major actions: Football course is included in the mandatory curriculums at an increasing number of schools across China; a football program is being implemented aiming at develop football specialties at 20,000 primary and secondary schools by 2017, up from the current 5,000 schools; in addition, 200 high-level college teams will be formed to help build a talent pool for elite national teams according to the Education Ministry (chinadaily.com.cn ).
Attending the CSL matches seems to be more of a middle-class game in China considering the cost of match tickets and time it takes to travel to watch a game (Lee & Fort 2014). According to Credit Suisse report, counting from 2000 twice as many Chinese as Americans have joined the middle class making the middle class of China the biggest in the world, meanwhile China's middle class is expanding more quickly than that of the U.S. middle class. The sharply rising middle class paves the way for CSL, already the Asia's most watched football league, to move forward.

Biographie

Jeunesse
1903. Naissance de Vera Glass le 17 mars  1903 à Leeds, Angleterre.

Abandonnée par ses parents peu de temps après sa naissance, elle est adoptée par Eugene Leigh, entraîneur de chevaux de course qui possède des écuries à Maisons-Laffitte près de Paris, France.

Elle veut devenir jockey, mais après avoir quitté l'école, elle devient dessinatrice de mode.

1927. Elle s'associe avec deux amis pour monter une maison de haute couture connue sous le nom de Rose Valoie, place Vendôme à Paris

Résistance française
1940. Après la chute de Paris, elle va à Lyon rejoindre son fiancé. Elle s'implique dans un réseau d'évasion de la Résistance intérieure française, qui guide les soldats alliés tombés derrière les lignes ennemies.

1942.
 Elle utilise la route d'évasion pour traverser les Pyrénées et atteindre l'Espagne, avec l'espoir de parvenir en Angleterre. Mais elle est emprisonnée plusieurs mois au camp d'internement de Miranda de Ebro près de  Bilbao. Finalement, aidée par un officiel de l'Ambassade britannique, elle est relâchée et termine son périple jusqu'à Londres, via Gibraltar.

Agent du SOE
 Après s'être déclarée volontaire comme enseigne First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), elle est remarquée par le Special Operations Executive, qui la recrute comme agent pour sa section F.

1943.
Mission en France
Vera Leigh a comme mission d'assurer la fonction de courrier du réseau INVENTOR que Sydney Jones vient reconstituer dans la région parisienne.
 Mai. Elle est amenée en France par Lysander, dans la nuit du 14 au .
 Après avoir reçu de nouvelles instructions dans une maison sûre à Neuilly-sur-Seine, Vera Leigh loue un appartement à Paris et porte des messages de la part de Sydney Jones dans la ville et à l'extérieur, jusque dans les Ardennes.
 Un jour, à la gare Saint-Lazare, elle rencontre par hasard le mari de sa sœur, qui dirige une maison sûre d'un réseau d'évasion. En encourant beaucoup de risque, elle s'implique dans cette opération, en escortant les aviateurs alliés dans les rues de Paris pour qu'ils rejoignent leurs contacts suivants. Elle noue des relations avec d'autres agents, y compris Julienne Aisner.

Aux mains de l'ennemi
 30 octobre. Elle est arrêtée au café Chez Mas, place des Ternes, et incarcérée à la prison de Fresnes. Les Allemands étaient déjà au courant de ses activités.

1944.
 Mai. Le matin du 12, Vera Leigh, en même temps que sept autres agents féminins du SOE, Andrée Borrel, Diana Rowden, Yolande Beekman, Éliane Plewman, Odette Sansom, Madeleine Damerment et Sonia Olschanezky, est extraite de la prison de Fresnes. Elles ne se connaissent pas les unes les autres, n'ayant jamais eu à se côtoyer, ni à l'entraînement, ni sur le terrain, ni en prison. Elles sont envoyées au quartier général du SD, avenue Foch, où elles sont enfermées quelques heures, puis emmenées en camion, attachées deux par deux, à la gare de l'Est, mises dans le train et déportées en Allemagne. Le 13, le trajet s'arrête à Karlsruhe. Des huit femmes, seule Odette Sansom reviendra et pourra faire le récit de ce voyage. Pour lire ce récit, se reporter à l'article Odette Sansom, boîte déroulante intitulée Transfert en Allemagne de sept prisonnières de la section F.
 6 juillet. Vera Leigh, Diana Rowden, Andrée Borrel, et Sonia Olschanezky sont emmenées au camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof. Le même jour, peu après leur arrivée, elles reçoivent une injection de phénol, puis sont jetées dans le four crématoire. L'une d'elles reprend alors conscience et griffe l'un de ses bourreaux au visage, avant d'être brûlée vive.

Hommages
 Sa plaque du souvenir, rééditée pour remplacer « ignoblement assassinée par les Allemands » par « morte pour son pays », est montée sur le mur intérieur de l'église Anglicane de la Sainte-Trinité à Maisons-Laffitte. Dans la même commune, le maire Jacques Myard a inauguré une place Vera Leigh, le 22 octobre 2021.
 Comme agent de la section F du SOE mort pour la France, le nom de Vera Leigh est honoré au mémorial de Valençay, Indre, France.
 Au Mémorial de la déportation du camp de concentration de Natzwiller-Struthof où elle a été exécutée, et qui est maintenant en territoire français :
 Une plaque, placée à l'intérieur du crématorium, inaugurée le    par le premier ministre Jacques Chirac, y est dédiée à Vera Leigh et aux trois autres femmes agents du SOE exécutées en même temps qu'elle, Diana Rowden, Andrée Borrel et Sonia Olschanezky.
 Le Centre européen du résistant déporté y a été inauguré le  par le président Jacques Chirac, accompagné par le ministre de la Défense, Michèle Alliot-Marie, et par le Ministre Délégué aux Anciens Combattants, Hamlaoui Mekachera. Après avoir déposé une couronne « à la Mémoire des martyrs et héros de la Déportation », ils sont descendus jusqu'au crématorium.

World Kidney Day (WKD) is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF).
Since the first campaign over eleven years ago, World Kidney Day (WKD) has turned into a global phenomenon. On March 8, 2018, medical professionals, government officials, the general public, celebrities and patients will take action locally.
Gram-negative bacteraemia in haemodialysis
Eleanor C. Murray Aleksandra Marek Peter C. Thomson John E. Coia
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 7, 1 July 2015, Pages 1202–1208
Patients on renal replacement therapy experience higher rates of morbidity and mortality, infection being the second commonest cause of death. In our haemodialysis population, we identify the pathogens, sensitivity patterns, sources of infection and outcomes of Gram-negative bacteraemia.
NGAL FOR DIAGNOSING ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
NGAL is a new biomarker for the diagnosis of acute kidney insufficiency or according to the terminology accepted abroad, acute kidney injury (AKI). The main advantage of NGAL is the earliest increase in its concentration in the development of acute kidney insufficiency, especially when compared with other renal markers. At the same time, the increase in the level of NGAL is proportional to the severity of developing kidney injury. Thus, NGAL allows early diagnostics and stratification of risks in the development of acute renal injury and makes possible the timely application of preventive therapy. Early diagnosis of acute kidney insufficiency allows making clinical decisions in the shortest time before the onset of acute kidney insufficiency and making proactive measures to stop declining kidney function.
Time to recovery after a hemodialysis session: impact of selected variables
Kwabena T. Awuah,1 Bayode A. Afolalu,1 Usama T. Hussein,1 Radu R. Raducu,1 Amenuve M. Bekui, Fredric O. Finkelstein
Patients maintained on hemodialysis (HD) have an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL). One factor that has been suggested to contribute to this impairment is the prolonged recovery time after completing a conventional HD session. The present study was designed to carefully examine the time to recovery (TTR) in patients maintained on three times/week conventional HD and evaluate the clinical and demographic features associated with the TTR.
Clinical practice recommendations for native vitamin D therapy in children with chronic kidney disease Stages 2-5 and on dialysis.
Shroff R1, Wan M1, Nagler EV2, Bakkaloglu S3, Fischer DC4, Bishop N5, Cozzolino M6, Bacchetta J7, Edefonti A8, Stefanidis CJ9, Vande Walle J10, Haffner D11, Klaus G12, Schmitt CP13; European Society for Paediatric Nephrology Chronic Kidney Disease Mineral and Bone Disorders and Dialysis Working Groups. Author information
Vitamin D deficiency is widely prevalent and often severe in children and adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although native vitamin D {25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]} is thought to have pleiotropic effects on many organ systems, its skeletal effects have been most widely studied.
Incidence of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the diabetic compared with the non-diabetic population in a German region, 2002–08
Andrea Icks, Burkhard Haastert, Jutta Genz, Guido Giani, Falk Hoffmann, Rudolf Trapp, Michael Koch
Background.
This study was conducted to estimate incidences of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the diabetic and non-diabetic populations in Germany.
Using the data of a regional dialysis centre (region population of 310 000), we assessed all incident RRT patients aged 30 years or older in 2002–08.


Boolprop! • View topic - The Sweetheart Legacy, a tale almost lost to time.
The Sweetheart Legacy, a tale almost lost to time.
A long, long time ago, back I think on the first Boolprop forums, I decided to have a proper go at the legacy challenge. I was so excited as I built their neighbourhood and made my founder.
Looking out at the stretch of lot in front of her with just a few items of furniture to call her own, she wondered if she had been a bit silly. Still, she powered on, working her way through the science career, when she met Brandi LeTourneau. The two got on famously and fell deep in love with each other. Eventually Alice asked Brandi to marry her and she readily accepted. The ceremony was just a typical for early legacy challenges bare living room one, but it barely mattered to the happy couple, and soon Alice also fell pregnant.
She gave birth to a daughter, named Starmix, a adorable child with brown hair and eyes just like her mother. She lived a happy life, even though the family were so poor they couldn't even afford to paint the walls for a while. Soon after came baby Sherbert, another girl. The two were inseparable. Brandi got to the top of the Criminal career path and Alice the Law Enforcement one, leading to a little bit of tension among the two. Still, the two kids grew up and Starmix was named the heir of generation 2.
Generation 3, like generation 2 brought 2 children, both again girls. Cherry and Strawberry, both named for fruits. As before, they grew up happy and when their house got a major makeover when they were children, each had the luxury of their own room, packed with plenty of toys and space. Cherry became the generation 3 heir to lead on to generation 4.
Cheesecake and Battenberg were the two children of generation 4, and this time were both boys. Unfortunately when they became teens, Alice sadly passed away, followed by Brandi some time later to much sadness both from the family, and from me. The kids's teenage years were overcast with grief for their great grandparents and a determination to carry on strong to see the legacy through.
Cheesecake became the heir, and had a son and a daughter, Banana and Raspberry. Here I started running into glitch problems which caused them to have to move house to mixed success. The kids despite this learned all their skills and grew up fairly well, although I never managed to get many pictures of them due to the glitching. And now I was halfway through!!
Banana took over as the heir for generation 5 and yet again had another boy and girl, Trix and Crunchie. (named for UK chocolate bars.) They moved house yet again, but this time because they ran out of space and I had made a lovely place for them inspired by a house I saw on tv. There was no lack of money at this point, nor people to teach the kids skills and provide attention, so they grew up slightly spoiled.
Crunchie became the generation 6 heir, and generation 7 was even smaller then usual- only one child, a boy named Toffee. Needless to say, he grew up even more spoiled rotten then the last generation, and when it came time to pick a heir, he had no competition!
Generation 8 saw a boy, named Apple with red hair and a love of dancing, and a girl, named Mango with a love of skipping and blowing bubbles. Mango was named the heir, and I was getting so excited to be so close now!
Generation 9's kids were named Tomato and Cinnamon, like every generation before them good kids who studied hard and were well behaved and Cinnamon took over for the last exciting stretch- finishing the legacy challenge!! Generation 10 saw only one child, a girl named Sugar. And it was all over!
They were a fun family to play and did so well. I had at least one Sim achieve a LTW per generation and the family had well over 150,00 by the end. Unfortunately, it also came with problems- I didn't know any better and used the deleteallcharacters cheat before the beginning. The neighbourhood by the end was a glitchy mess with dissappearing Sims and many problems. The neighbourhood met its glitchy end not long after I finished the legacy.
But before they went, something amazing did happen. Alice's mum finally, and very grudgingly, had some cake! Even she had to admit it was pretty good.
And there you have it! That's the Sweetheart legacy in a nutshell. The story was all uploaded to the TS2 Exchange- remember those days? And in 2014, EA announced that the Exchange's days were numbered. Stupid me didn't think to archive it or save the story, and so it was lost to time- the neighbourhood, or what was left of it was on a old old pc removed a long time ago and so were the pictures. However, luckily for you, and especially me, I had the foresight to make a video containing every generation's names and a outline of the goings on after I finished the legacy and to upload it to Youtube, inspired by another legacy I had read that did the same thing. I pored over songs for it for days!!
Thank you for reading and thanks to Teresa for letting me know I can share my family's story here and get the medal despite the actual story updates being long gone.
Re: The Sweetheart Legacy, a tale almost lost to time.
Woot - Awesome recap. I am glad you had the video and all the information so you could publish it here.


Of all the perennials we can grow in our gardens peonies must be some of the most glamorous. The big flowers are often blowsy, sometimes simply shaped are carried on long stems above a clump of handsome, deeply divided leaves that turn lovely shades of red in autumn. All the peonies we sell are herbaceous (die back in autumn). They are easy to grow once established, needing very little attention, and very long lived.

From BGSU OFFICE OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS Bowling Green Opera Theater and the Bowling Green State University Department of Theatre and Film will present Handel's "Semele" April 5 and 7. "Semele," a masterpiece of Handel's mature period, is considered something of an anomaly in his career: It is an English-language work with a secular text, written at a time when Handel was concentrating on the composition of sacred oratorios. Though never staged in Handel's lifetime, the dramatic story, based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses," telling of the ill-fated love of Semele and Jupiter, lends itself to an operatic treatment. The vocal writing is virtuosic, tuneful and thrilling, and the choral movements are some of Handel's most beautiful and most exciting. This combination of stirring music and compelling drama makes for a great night in the theater. "Semele" will be directed by Danielle Wright from Detroit's Opera MODO and presented at 8 p.m. April 5 and at 3 p.m. April 7 in the Thomas B. and Kathleen M. Donnell Theatre of The Wolfe Center for the Arts. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for non-BGSU students/children in advance. All tickets are $20 the day of the performance. BGSU students are free with ID. Tickets are available online at bgsu.edu/arts or by calling 419-372-8171. This production includes sexual content that may not be suitable for all ages. Please use discretion. This production is one of the spring premier arts events sponsored by PNC Bank. To our guests with disabilities, please indicate if you need special services, assistance or appropriate modifications to fully participate in this event by contacting Accessibility Services at access@bgsu.edu, Theatre and Film, 419-372–8495.

From TOLEDO MUSEUM OF ART "Everything is Rhythm": Mid-Century Art & Music" opens in the New Media Gallery at the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) April 6. In this multisensory exhibition, which runs through Nov. 3, music and art are brought together as 14 visual art masterpieces are paired with carefully selected musical accompaniments. "Everything is Rhythm" is jointly curated by Halona Norton-Westbrook, director of curatorial affairs, and Scott Boberg, manager of programs and audience engagement. "The Toledo Museum of Art has long celebrated the promotion of both the visual and musical arts," explained Norton-Westbrook. "'Everything is Rhythm' seeks to engage visitors by prompting close looking, contemplation and consideration of the connection between visual and auditory forms." The pairings of the visual and musical works in the exhibition, which includes both the historical and contemporary, have been purposefully combined for a variety of reasons. "In some instances, the composer and artist were known to one another and shared a direct connection, while in other instances, the selected musical composition and art work share ideas, approaches or aspects such as rhythm, texture or basic structure. In some instances, the art work and music paired with it are separated by decades," Boberg explained. For example, "And Then There Were Three" by Julian Stanczak (American, born Poland, 1928-2017) is paired with "Metamorphosis III," by composer Philip Glass. The cinematic scale and proportion of Stanczak's painting is matched by the lush repetition of this solo piano work, performed by Lisa Moore, whose in-gallery concert at 3 p.m. Nov. 3 will conclude this exhibition. The title of the exhibition, "Everything is Rhythm," takes its inspiration from a quote by the painter Larry Poons, whose work is prominently featured in the final section of this exhibition. "Everything is Rhythm" will be accompanied by a series of in-gallery concerts.

I just realized this coat is 100% British! (except for its maker, of course). I bought the wool-mohair-alpaca-nylon mix in the fabric shop nearby, and the silk lining with Melissa and Anwen; the self-cover buttons and shoulder pads came from sewessential.co.uk, who ship super fast – I received my package the day after I ordered.
The lining is white with silver arabesques. I'll take a close-up shot later. Melissa, you're damn right – silk-lined pockets are such a tactile treat for a fabric lover.
I don't have much to say about the pattern, really – except that Vogue 8346 was exactly the design I was after: a classic winter coat with princess seams. The instructions were great. This pattern is a winner.
For reference, I made view D, but cut the hem at view B to have the same length as pictured in view D, because I'm so short.
I cut the front pieces in a size 10 and the back pieces in a size 8; I wanted the ability to wear the coat with 3 layers underneath (including a thick jumper, as in these pictures), so I made it a bit larger than usual.
The overall construction went fast, but the hand finishing (snaps, buttons, sleeves, and one very long hem) took forever! I'm so glad I'm done; I have a feeling this coat will be worn to death. I love how swishy the skirt is, and this is really helped by the lining. The coat didn't feel half as full-skirted when I only tried the shell on.
I'll post more details later (lining, buttons, etc.). Whenever I feel like taking more pictures.
Next up on my sewing list are: a few knit tops, a sofa cover, and a laptop case for Seb.
OMG that coat is a masterpiece! The skirt falls beautifully on you and the lining was the perfect choice! Your restraint at Goldhawk Road truly paid off, I love it!!
Well done!, as the Brits say. Lovely coat and perfect for the chilly weather.
WOW! It's Beautiful!! Love the hat too!!
Dear Isabelle, what can I say. That coat is gorgeous and looks so warm. You got it done just in time for our cold spell.
Quel beau manteau!! Tu es vraiment très douée, Isabelle, bravo!!
Voilà longtemps que je ne venais pas. Toujours aussi ravissante, ton manteau est superbe !

How to start a fight
bensdad posted a topic in Chewing the fat
One year I decided to buy my ex mother in law a cemetry plot as a Xmas gift The next year I didn't buy her a gift When she asked why? I replied..... Well you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year! And that's how the fight started.
Do You Ever Feel The Fight Draining From You?
As some of you will know I have long been an advocate of voicing your opinion and doing what you can to make things 'better', well, better in the way I see things. I guess at times when we are all young we may have ideas of what we want to achieve, accomplish etc, and very often our youthful 'spunk' carries us forward and we believe firmly in certain in ideals, some of us have even fought tooth and nail to bring about change, maybe not BIG change, but change nonetheless. But as time passes and life seems to get on the way, jobs, money, children our priorities often change through necessity and only right and proper as well. But do we lose sight of what we believed in the past, where three was NO obstacle that was big enough to stop us pursuing our dream, now as time and age catches up with us, we do to some extent lose that initial youthful impetuous and become a shadow of our former selves. To carry on believing in a 'cause' is bloody difficult, or should I say instead of 'believe' the desire to MAKE change happen. It takes both fortitude and resilience to carry on the work, and I must admit that at times I feel like giving up. What is the point after all in trying to do what you think is right only to be told that it will never happen, getting kicked in the teeth by some that should know better, when in reality you could surrender and take life as it comes, in other words except that change may never happen and just 'get on with it', for the want of better words. This is not surrender, far from it, just a realisation that at times it is better to bite the bullet and except life, warts and all, and do NOTHING to make it better for those around you, and this includes family, relatives, friends and the wider community. So, if we choose to 'except' what we have and go against what we once or still do truly believe is this an admittance of failure, or just living in the real world. I guess what I am saying is this. My long term plans are to live in Australia with Ruth and 'IF' they want to come my children, but in the interim I would like to do what I can to change this country in a VERY small way, but I must admit that experience and looking into the future is making me come to the realisation that this may never happen, so I will just plod on, be relatively happy with my lot and look forward to our future lives in Australia. Right, wrong or indifferent you reckon? Cheers Tony.:wink:
Ghost jobs - recruiters fight the downturn

Ghost jobs - recruiters fight the downturn The slump in the job market has hit recruiters, forcing some to cut staff, or even resort to questionable methods as competition for survival heats up. The recruiters association recently released a survey showing that less than half of the 179 members polled are confident of an improvement to their business in the next three months.

When A Pretty Smile Stifles The Fight
WHEN A PRETTY SMILE STIFLES THE FIGHT Karen Thurgood, aged 20, and 5ft 7in. is a night-club bouncer. Bubbling with personality, she shrugs off any thought of danger. 'I just act nice and friendly, just like one of them. They respect me for doing a job.' Sandy-haired Karen, with the widest, friendliest grin in Toowoomba, south-east Queensland, was chosen to stand at the door of The Court House, a $1.1m. refurbished mecca for the rural ravers, when there were 16-stone footballers standing ready in line for the job. 'I put on my black pants, white shirt, jacket and black tie and realise that anybody intent on causing trouble is only trying to draw attention to himself. Once you understand that, it helps a lot when you're called on to the dance-floor.' The moment there is a disturbance in the boisterous crowd of 400-500 dancing to disco, Karen, from Newport Pagnell, knows she's got several male heavies to help sort it out. But her sweet reason always seems to work. Like the night a drunken female customer locked herself in the toilet. 'I got another guy to help me get her out, then I escorted her to the door to make sure she got into a cab safely. She went quietly. 'We are only there to keep the peace. As the boys come in some of them ask me if I can fight and what self-defence I use. The girls find it odd to see a female bouncer and want to know: "Aren't you worried you're going to get hurt?" ' She's not. 'It's mainly common sense and talking people out of being aggressive. I did a self-defence course when I was 18 and then security training where they taught us all the moves.' David Ash, her boss at the Court House club, says: 'She's always such a happy person she can change people's moods.' Toowoomba has been celebrating its annual carnival of flowers and Karen was runner-up in a Queen quest to raise money to help pay for the entertainment. Between her canteen work and nightclub bouncing she raised $1,510 through car washes, raffles and cosmetics parties. But there is a dark, underside to the rural city renowned for its gardens, its turn-of-the-century mansions once owned by a squattocracy who reigned over thousands of square miles of pasture; it has good seasons and gloomy spells, depending on rain. As grass turns tinder dry and farm incomes plummet, the effect is seen in doctors' waiting-rooms as despair brings on illness and psychological depression. Surveillance cameras have had to be mounted in the streets to help prevent an upsurge in crime. Fresh-faced Karen works by day at a hospital caring for the mentally ill, and sees the end result of the seasonal downturn. 'I serve in the canteen and every day I see the unstable, the mentally troubled, and the victims of drug and alcohol addiction. It's interesting to meet them to get a chance to chat with them and find out what is wrong with them. Sometimes it's hard to take, because they seem so normal. But they are sick people who are certifiable and have problems in their lives that handicap them. 'I give them a cup of coffee and get to know them. A lot of them just enjoy somebody saying "g'day, how are you?" You know, that somebody cares? It is,' she assures you, 'a very enjoyable job.' She gets to the canteen some mornings after only four hours' sleep. 'I am on the door from 10 pm until about 2.30 am.' Her long-distance coach driver father, who can be 2,000 kms away, is confident she can look after herself in her $11-an-hour job. But her mother, Moira Thurgood, admits: 'John, and I lie awake some nights waiting to hear Karen's car arrive. Toowoomba is not as bad as a lot of places, but nevertheless some disturbing things happen at night. A fortnight before my eldest daughter's wedding, her fiance was beaten up badly. Then Karen's car was broken into when she was raising money for her quest and lost a brief-case containing documents and money. She made up for the lost cash from her own pocket. 'She also had scratch lottery tickets stolen, but some English friends of ours living nearby kindly made up for that loss; their caravan had been broken into recently and they knew how she felt. The downturn in the rural industry has made so many people around here depressed and they see no way out of it. I took my youngest daughter to see where Karen works the other day and she found it hard to understand. I explained that it wasn't so long ago they locked up young mothers here for having a baby out of wedlock.' Karen's ambition? 'I want to get into the tourist industry. I am going to England next year to go on tour with a leading firm so I can learn the ropes and hopefully get a job with them. I have aunts and uncles all over the country and I'm going to see my 94-year-old grandfather in London.'

Jamilu Collins, Paderborn 07 defender, is optimistic of making his debut for the Super Eagles in no time.
The overlapping full-back was tipped to feature in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Seychelles on Saturday, but he failed to see action.
Collins was kept on the substitutes bench for the entire match duration as Nigeria secured a 3-0 victory.
"Saturday's game was great. We won for our supporters," Collins told TheCable.
"We showed our superiority over them. But the condition was unfavourable.
"I wasn't disappointed because I know the right moment will come. I had a little bit of pain. The coaches did the right thing not to field me.
The win gave the Super Eagles three points and wiped out the goal deficit from the loss to South Africa on matchday 1.
Meanwhile, Leganes central defender Kenneth Omeruo said it was important to keep a clean sheet against Seychelles.
"We are very happy with the result," Omeruo told TheCable.
"It was a difficult pitch to play. We kept it clean and won 3-0. The team fought hard and didn't concede.
A victory over Libya in Kaduna on October 13 would brighten Nigeria's chances of booking a place in the 2019 AFCON.


The statistical information on these pages dates back to 1890 -91 and has come from the records of JamesGoldthorpe who was secretary of the Leeds Club from 1907 until 1922. His work was published in booklet form in 1911 and he continued to compile information until his death in 1942.
Each page contains the scores from all the games the Leeds team played that season, the scorers, League tables (from 1895) and other information that Mr Goldthorpe noted.
The first 5 seasons were before the split and these games were played under Rugby Union Rules. The Leeds Club was a founder member of the Northern Union, Rugby League, and the 1895-6 season was the first under those rules.
