Do we still not know where "Night" plays in the series? It's a gorgeous piece - maybe my favorite on the album - but I don't remember hearing it anywhere.

I have to go back and watch, but wasn't it sometime while Cooper is in the woods in part 17?
Dark Space Low is probably my favorite new track, from the very last shot/credits of 18.

I haven't placed it yet. And don't remember hearing it. But it might be in there somewhere.

Been listening to Badalamenti's Dark Space Low on repeat now for quite a while. Absolutely love this. Trouble is, it's only 2:15 long, which is why I have it on repeat -- it's way, way, too short. Twenty minutes would have been the absolute minimum I would have preferred for a track as good as this.
Shades of the aeolian harp; so moody and beautiful.
It's been a wild, uneven ride to get to this point, yet it is so completely soothing to just soak in this track. It's like a bath for the soul.
As a matter of fact, 'Chalfont' was the name of the people that rented this space before. Two Chalfonts. Weird, huh?

I was just coming here to say that. The ZZ Top song in particular is peaked out of listenability, but it's all way overdone.

I thought that. I don't remember 'Sharp Dressed Man' sounding so acidic.
Another thing I thought; hearing the music in isolation from the visuals made me realize just how Lynch showcased Badalamenti's pieces. In Part 8, he lets 'The Fireman' unfold in a reverie. 'Dark Space Low' only being used with the final shot of Cooper and Laura. Besides 'The Chair', much of Badalamenti's work is often used only once in the whole show. It makes it that much more potent for me, and inseparable with the intention. It's a contrast to 'Laura Palmer's Theme' being used for every mysterious/sad moment in the original seasons.

"Farewell / Accident Theme" was also used for two scenes, both the ep. 6 accident and Cooper saying goodbye to Janey-E and Sonny Jim in ep. 16.. i really agree with you that the way they utilized the music in the new series was really potent and hard hitting!!
there was a Thought Gang song in episode 15 called "Summer Nights" and a user posted this on YouTube. no clue if it's the real thing:

I really think "Heartbreaking" is beautiful, but I do feel it's a shame they didn't put the upbeat part in it as well. I loved the dynamic between the two parts.

Longtime lurker, my first post is to say I agree, 100%! I was so disappointed that didn't make the cut.

Am I the only one who actually likes Lissie's song? It isn't my usual taste, but it came to me at a time when I needed to hear those words, so I have nothing bad to say about it.

Yes that's my favorite, prior to that was Cactus Blossoms.
Fireman, Headless Chicken- worth the price of the album.
All the oldies I knew and appreciated showing up in TR, I'm kind of stuck in the 60's musically.
One Chord Blues and Night Electricity Theme are the best on Dean's album.
I prefer the other song on the Trouble EP "Mother's Gone" which sounds like Morphine, my favorite band of all time that DL also used in WAH deleted scenes, to Snake Eyes.

Not at all. I love Wild West with all my heart. Lots of energy and optimism and the singer has an interesting voice. It's one of those songs that temporarily immunise me against my usual fussiness over music styles or genres; sometimes I can like a song in its singularity.
There's not really a song on the Roadhouse album that I can seriously dislike. Well, maybe I Am by Blunted Beats. But that probably because I didn't like the context it was used in, and not something inherent to the music. Unfortunately I am forever going to associate it with Lorraine being ridiculously killed and Ike the Spike running in and out of rooms like a Scooby-Doo villain.
I also found the Cactus Blossom's Mississippi far more interesting a song than I originally thought it was after listening a few times. Green Onions is a big favourite too, and helps me with the housework.
Snake Eyes, Axolotl, Out of Sand are also getting a lot of airplay here.
Late evenings though I'm chilling out to the score album. I have Johnny Jewel's Windswept on right now.
Postby Mystery Roach » Mon Sep 11, 2017 4:03 pm
Oh good I'm glad it isn't just me then. Yes I adore Windswept too. The moment TR really clicked for me was in Part 6 when Dougie was exposing the insurance scam and I thought, "THAT's where the jazz vibe of Twin Peaks landed in this incarnation. It's more somber and reflective, but breezy and oh so moving. That whole album is a fantantistic companion piece that does a great job of capturing a certain mood.
Out of Sand is still my favorite artist track, followed by No Stars and then probably Wild West. Axilotl didn't do much for me at first but it's definitely been growing on me lately too. And Mississippi was an early favorite that I still like a lot. I really love it all. Great selection across the board, and a good mix of old and new, both in the songs and the score.
It's weird, because there are basically three different composers handling different elements of the score, but it all works well together without any of them stepping on each other's toes. To be honest, as much as I love Badalamenti, and his tracks are incredibly special, I think it's pretty unfair that he's credited as the sole composer when he contributed so little of the new music.

Wild West grew on me. Defintely music I wouldn't seek out myself but damn it if good ol DL ddidn't expand my horizon.
As to the music credits, I understand how Johnny Jewel didn't recieve a credit but how Dean Hurley didn't is beyond me.

John Simm: 'I got rid of the music and clubbing and got into some proper serious drama'
Adrian Lobb
The seven ages of Simm: actor John Simm on The Lakes, Life On Mars, Doctor Who, Macbeth, Grace… and the Game of Thrones prequel that got away
John Simm in Macbeth, The Lakes, Grace, Life on Mars and Doctor Who.
Photo illustration: The Big Issue (Images: Alamy / ITV)
John Simm is one of the great British actors. A northern powerhouse. Although he retains a youthful air as he calls The Big Issue from his 'man cave' – where he is overlooked by a framed Beatles poster and has several guitars within easy reach – Simm has been a mainstay of British culture for a quarter of a century since his breakthrough in Jimmy McGovern's thriller The Lakes.
His latest role, as DCI Roy Grace in ITV's big Sunday night detective drama is a change of pace for the actor. It also sees him following in the footsteps of so many great actors over the years – from David Jason in Frost, John Thaw in Morse, John Nettles in Bergerac and, more recently, Idris Elba in Luther. These showpiece series require a lead actor viewers trust and are willing to invest time in. On those terms, Simm was a natural choice.
We asked him to look back over the key roles that took him here – from the highs of State of Play, Doctor Who, Life On Mars and Hamlet to his recent Game of Thrones prequel near miss and an American adventure that didn't quite produce the expected smash hit…
Breakthrough, Blair and Britpop – The Lakes / Human Traffic / 24 Hour Party People
The Lakes was a game changer for me. A big role to get. And I loved filming it. I remember driving up to the Lake District in my little Golf at night – because that's when the roads were quiet – listening to the new Charlatans album. It was all kicking off wasn't it? I remember the 1997 election, Labour getting in – we were filming up a mountain that day. It was a great time to be alive. Music was in the air.
John Simm in Human Traffic
And after The Lakes there was Human Traffic and then 24 Hour Party People so music did follow me around a little bit, didn't it? There was a lot going on. And whilst all that was happening, I turned 30, had a kid and tried to grow up a bit.
Serious Success – State of Play / Sex Traffic
I did State of Play and Sex Traffic, both with director David Yates, one after the other. It was 2002-03 by then. I got rid of the music and clubbing and got into some proper serious drama. This was like the comedown after the party. Darkness descends. Corruption in the corridors of power. That was a great period for me because it was quality stuff. I've got nothing but great memories of State of Play – I remember reading one script after another and realising I'd finished all of them and I hadn't moved. I hadn't even taken my coat off.
I did a podcast with David Morrissey during the first lockdown and we talked about State of Play so I had to rewatch it. Apart from the smoking indoors, it held up really well. It was still gripping stuff, really well made, great cast. I mean, wow, it was amazing. State of Play had the old American remake [with Russell Crowe in Simm's role] but me and David Morrissey agreed never to watch it.
Leading Light – Life On Mars / Doctor Who
Life On Mars was another game changer. I adored the job, loved the part, loved playing Sam Tyler. I don't regret only doing two – maybe there would have been a backlash – but I would have done another series if they'd set it in London. I had a small child and the workload was so intense.
John Simm with Philip Glenister in Life On Mars
There was a point where [Life on Mars co-star] Phil Glenister and I did everything together. It was like it was in the contract. But we haven't worked together for a while so we'll see what happens with [mooted new Life On Mars sequel] Lazarus.
I'm not allowed to say much but it's the same characters. They're writing the pilot and apparently it has been picked up so me and Phil, plus [writers] Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham are going to meet up and have a chat. The idea is really good – there's a lot of travelling in time and car chases. So I think it is happening, fingers crossed. But in this business, you never know.
Doctor Who was also great fun. I don't know whether it was deemed a success or not [it was!], a lot of arguments go on in fandom. But it is so good to be involved in things so universally loved. To do even one of those things in a lifetime would be enough.
John Simm with his favourite magazine
New career stages – Hamlet / Macbeth
I was turning 40 and thought, I'm never gonna get the chance to play Hamlet ever again. So when that pops up, you take it. Doesn't matter where it is, I'll take it. It was the same director as Elling, which I'd loved doing in 2007. What an experience Hamlet was – terrifying, exhilarating, incredible. I really miss being on stage at the moment. I've been trying to do as much as I can and know from bitter experience that the longer you leave it, the more terrifying the experience is when you get back on stage again.
Doing Three Days In The Country [in 2015] was such an amazing experience. If I could just work the National Theatre forever, I would. It was the most incredible summer with wonderful people, in that iconic place on the Southbank. A real treat.
And I was 50 when I played Macbeth. That is the reason you become an actor. Macbeth was easily the best part I have played. The arc of that character, from honest, decent man to bloodthirsty tyrant is amazing. Shakespeare is the best. It is magic stuff. King Lear at 60? Maybe. But could I do Richard III or Iago at 60 and Lear at 70? I think Henry V has gone the way of the Dodger, sadly. I will never play those roles. It's over. Let it go!
Collaborations – Exile / Mad Dogs / The Village
I went straight from Hamlet to Exile, with Olivia Colman and Jim Broadbent. Not a bad cast! I really loved that job. And then I did The Village with Maxine [Peake]. Mad Dogs was around that time too. That felt like the luckiest gig – filming in the sun with my mates, Phil Glenister again, Marc Warren, Max Beasley and Ben Chaplin. It was ridiculously funny to us that we landed that gig. We pinched ourselves every day.
American Adventures and the one that got away – The Intruders / The Catch /Game of Thrones prequel
I've tried America twice. I did The Intruders for BBC America in 2014 and thought it was a dead cert – written by the guy who did The X Files, directed by the The Blair Witch Project guy, with Mira Sorvino and Millie Bobby Brown, who was about to be huge in Stranger Things. It had been a successful novel but I guess it just didn't work. Maybe it was too complicated at the beginning? But it was a shame, because I really enjoyed doing it. You're disappointed at the time, you expect to do more, but that's the life of an actor.
Then, five years ago we were looking at places in LA in case The Catch went again. It was the Shonda Rhimes Hit Factory, the next big one for ABC, filming just off Sunset Boulevard – again you think, surely this is going to be a success. Everyone was great in it. It was a fun, fun, fun job to do and we were expecting to have to move the family out there when they pulled it. So you're in the hands of higher powers.
And then, of course, there was the Game of Thrones thing. I did the pilot of the prequel, the one that cost, what was it, $130 million? It had SJ Clarkson directing, great cast and once you've had the fourth costume fitting and you're told by the 20th person that it's 99.99% definitely going to be huge, you're already celebrating. I was thinking, I'll see you in Belfast and in the meantime I'll be moving my family over, looking at schools. Then suddenly, the rug is pulled. Everybody was shocked. You can't ever get dependent on a certain job.
A New decade – Grace / Crime
… which is why I'm very lucky to be doing Grace in Brighton. With Grace, I've been able to dive into the source material, the Peter James books, so it is easy to get into his head. And it's a tried and tested storytelling method, hugely successful, so all we had to do was not fuck it up.
The character was intriguing. There is stuff with his personal life – his wife went missing – but he's not so tortured that he can't do his job. I love that he's so dedicated. And this series he gets close to a mortuary assistant, as you do. They start flirting over corpses!
When I was younger, I was quite impatient. Now I'm happy to be working so I'm keen to do more. Especially because we moved down here during lockdown. We'd already planned it, by the way. We didn't do it just for the show. So it was a happy coincidence.
But I'm still looking for variety – and Crime was so heavy. The writing was fabulous. Working with Irvine Welsh was really special, so was filming with Dougray Scott. And it was a chance to work with director David Blair for the first time since The Lakes. But it was so dark. One of those where you have to scrub yourself with a wire brush at the end of each day's filming just to get the guy out of your head. I wasn't sure I'd be able to play it or if I really wanted to go there, it was so dark. But what a contrast with Grace – good guy, clean shaven. Very, very bad guy, fantastic stubble…

Illa J Introduces Us To 'John Yancey' With A Visit To 'Tokyo'
B. Cakes
On his 2017 album Home, Illa J brought his singing skills to the foreground, reminding us that his talents aren't limited to rapping and producing. While, the album was very well-received by critics and fans alike, it also had a positive impact on the artist, himself. So much so, that he's adopting a similar format for his forthcoming project John Yancey.
It's fitting that he chose to use his birth name, John Yancey, as the title of the album. He expounds on the significance via press statement: "(This album is) Definitely more personal than all of my projects, nothing specific, but I basically talk about about the ups and downs of all my relationships over the past 10 years, still grieving about my bro, etc. This one is trippy because the first single comes out a day before my 32nd birthday and the original title was 32 because this is a special year to me because my brother died at that age so it had a lot of meaning. But it makes sense that it ended up being called John Yancey because for so long in my career I felt like I was tryna be me and my brother, and I'm finally at peace, like I'm not J Dilla's younger brother Illa J, I'm James' younger brother John."
John has teased that this record will have more rap than Home did, but he also promises that we'll get to hear him use more of his natural singing voice. It makes sense, then, that he chose "Tokyo" as the album's lead single – a song that showcases his vocals in a way that we haven't quite heard before. Mr. Yancey transforms into a one-man '90s R&B band, bumpin', grindin' and breaking it all the way down for the Calvin Valentine production. The seductive groove is all about good love, but he keeps things fairly low-key for the visuals. Ironically, the clip was shot in Los Angeles, though we do get glimpses of the titular city Tokyo through the photographs drying in the dark room.
Scroll down to check out Illa J's "Tokyo" and let us know what you think. The track is available as an instant download with a pre-order of John Yancey, which is slated for a November 30th release.

Q: How i can emit event from directive by click outside of element? I can't understand how to emit event from directive
This is my template where i try to call method :
<tooltip v-click-outside="clickEvent" v-on:emitedEvent="clickEvent"></tooltip>

From v-click-outside="clickEvent" i got:
Property or method "clickEvent" is not defined on the instance but referenced during render.

My code:
export default {
  data() {
    return {
    }
  },
  methods: {
    clickEvent: function () {
      console.log('click')
    }
  },
}
Vue.directive('click-outside', {
  bind: function (el, binding, vnode) {
    el.event = function (event) {
      if (!(el.contains(event.target))) {
          vnode.context.$emit('emitedEvent')
      }
    }
    document.addEventListener('click', el.event)
  },
  unbind: function (el) {
    document.removeEventListener('click', el.event)
  },
})

I get:
Invalid handler for event "emitedEvent": got undefined

A: I suspect the problems you're encountering are primarily based on two problems:

*

*the level at which you're defining the functions

*camel case custom events are not supported (always use kebab case - https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-custom-events.html#Event-Names)

Check out the following fiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/chrismarx/gvrsmj1y/7/

Note that using this template:

directive test

  <component-a v-on:emited-event="parentClickEvent"></component-a>

*

*The root component has to define the parentClickEvent method, since the event is being emitted from component-a. You also need to emit the event from within component-a

  template:'<button type="button" @click="clickEvent" v-click-outside>test</button>',

or use the $root object for emitting and listening for events at the same level ( this.$root.$emit not working in Vue )

2. The $emit call should broadcast a kebab cased event, otherwise the event won't get picked up -

Biografia

Infanzia

Antonio era l'ultimo figlio di Luigi Filippo di Francia (1773-1850) e di sua moglie, la principessa Maria Amalia di Borbone-Napoli (1782-1866).

I suoi nonni paterni erano il duca Luigi Filippo II di Borbone-Orléans e la duchessa Luisa Maria Adelaide di Borbone-Penthièvre; quelli materni Ferdinando I, re del Regno delle Due Sicilie e Maria Carolina d'Asburgo-Lorena, nata arciduchessa d'Austria.

Nel 1830 suo padre divenne Re dei Francesi con il nome di Luigi Filippo I.

Carriera militare
Nel 1842 fu nominato sottotenente del 3º reggimento d'artiglieria. Il 17 novembre 1843 raggiunse il grando di capitano del 7º reggimento di fanteria.

Nel 1844 combatté in Algeria. Fu nominato capo di squadriglia l'8 agosto 1844 e tenente colonnello il 22 marzo 1845. Si distinse nella battaglia contro i cabili.

Nel 1845 viaggiò in Medio Oriente, Grecia, Turchia e Egitto, con il suo segretario e amico Antoine de La Tour. Durante questo tempo, la Francia e il Regno Unito negoziarono un trattato di Stato per il matrimonio degli eredi di re Ferdinando VII di Spagna: l'infanta Luisa Ferdinanda venne promessa al Duca di Montpensier, mentre la sorella maggiore, la regina Isabella II venne promessa suo cugino l'infante Francesco di Borbone.

Matrimonio

Sposò, il 10 ottobre 1846, a Madrid, l'infanta Luisa Ferdinanda di Borbone-Spagna, figlia del re di Spagna Ferdinando VII e di Maria Cristina di Borbone-Due Sicilie. La coppia ebbe dieci figli.

In Spagna

Nel febbraio 1848 una rivoluzione scoppiata in Francia che pose fine al regno di Luigi Filippo I.

Dopo aver vissuto in Inghilterra con il resto della famiglia reale, Antonio decise di andare in Spagna con la moglie. La prima coppia si stabilì a Siviglia, al Palazzo di San Telmo, poi Sanlúcar de Barrameda al Palais d'Orléans.

Il 5 agosto 1858, fu nominato dalla cognata capitano generale dell'esercito spagnolo. Promosso al rango di Infante di Spagna, dalla Regina, il 10 ottobre 1859, venne bandito poco dopo da sua cognata causa del suo temperamento intrigante.

Esilio

Il 7 luglio 1868 iniziò la rivoluzione spagnola del generale Juan Prim y Prats. Tra i principali finanziatori di questo evento, che alla fine rovesciò Isabella, fu il Duca di Montpensier. Nonostante questo, il Principe non era né Principe consorte né reggente per il nuovo governo di Gonzalez. Gli fu richiesto di lasciare la Spagna insieme alla sua famiglia. Il 16 luglio 1868 partì e si stabilì per un anno in Portogallo.

Il 13 aprile 1870, mentre candidato per la successione al trono di Spagna, fu condannato da un consiglio di guerra, all'esilio di un mese fuori Madrid e una multa di 30.000 franchi per aver ucciso in duello, il 12 marzo, l'infante Enrico, duca di Siviglia (1823-1870), fratello di Francesco, duca di Cadice marito di Isabella II.

Il 16 novembre 1870 le Corti votarono per scegliere un nuovo Re da dare alla Spagna, eleggendo con 191 voti Amedeo di Savoia, cugino di Antonio d'Orléans. Successivamente il principe Antonio venne incarcerato per essersi rifiutato di giurare fedeltà a Amadeo I. Più tardi, il Principe venne escluso dall'esercito e perse il suo grado militare.

Ultimi anni e morte

Amedeo I abdicò nel 1873 e gli successe il figlio di Isabella II, Alfonso XII.

Nel 1875, il Duca di Montpensier ottenne il permesso di tornare nel suo paese di adozione. In effetti, il giovane Re era innamorato di una cugina, figlia di Antonio. Nel 1878, la riconciliazione con la famiglia di Isabella II fu totale, poiché la figlia di Antonio, Mercedes, sposò Alfonso XII. Tuttavia, la giovane Regina morì poco dopo il matrimonio e Alfonso XII si risposò con Maria Cristina d'Asburgo-Teschen, con cui avrà due e figli ed un figlio, Alfonso XIII.

Antonio morì il 4 febbraio 1890, a causa di un'apoplessia cerebrale, all'età di 65 anni.

What Is Blue Topaz?
by GemFind August 16, 2021
Blue topaz has a storied history and unique properties that make it a treasured and special gem. It has been prized for its striking qualities since ancient times. In the article below, we will take a closer look at blue topaz and discover more about what makes this gem so special.
Topaz is a silicate mineral and one of the hardest minerals found in nature. Topaz gems occur in a range of colors including pink, red and golden brown. The blue topaz was once the rarest color of all. In the modern world, it has become one of the more common forms thanks to a process for giving colorless or white topaz a blue color. The process was developed in the 1970s and involves irradiating the gem. The color-treating method replicates the way that naturally occurring blue topaz acquires its hue, which is from radiation in surrounding rocks. Natural radiation has a similar coloring effect on various other gemstones including diamonds.
Most of the blue topaz available today was colored artificially using gamma rays and tested to ensure safe radiation levels before it is sold to the public.
Characteristics Of Blue Topaz
Jewelry designers have a range of possibilities with blue topaz because the mineral occurs in such large crystals. The size of the crystals makes it possible to find gems with hundreds of carats, which makes blue topaz an excellent choice for lovers of large gemstones or gemstone engagement rings. The large size also means that designers aren't limited to certain shapes. Its hardness (8 on the Mohs scale) allows blue topaz to be polished to a high degree.
Need Help Buying Blue Topaz Jewelry?
Because of the precise nature of blue topaz color treatments, you can get exactly the shade you want. Our team of expert jewelers and gemologists at Pageo are dedicated to helping you select the perfect color, clarity, and cut from a wide range of options.

U.S. offers 77 million acres in GoM sale, oil majors bid for less than 1 million
U.S. Gulf of Mexico lease sale, largest in history by the offered acreage, attracted what has been described as a "tepid response" by the oil and gas majors.
The U.S. administration had offered more than 77 million acres in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, however the bids were placed only for 815,403 acres in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Region-wide Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 250 generated $124,763,581 in high bids for 148 tracts covering 815,403 acres in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. To remind, the Trump administration had offered 14431 tracts.
A total of 33 companies participated in the lease sale, submitting $139,122,383 in bids.
Lease Sale 250 included 14,474 unleased blocks, located from three to 231 miles offshore, in the Gulf's Western, Central and Eastern planning areas in water depths ranging from nine to more than 11,115 feet (three to 3,400 meters).
BP submitted the biggest number of high bids – 27 – for a total amount of $20 million. Chevron submitted 24 high bids, for around $29 million in total. Shell follows with 16 high bids for $23 million.
France's Total submitted 9 high bids for Gulf of Mexico acreage for a Total sum of $15 million. Worth noting, Total submitted a highest bid on a single block, bidding $7 million for NH16-10 Mississippi Canyon 697 area.
Commenting on the lease sale Interior Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management Joe Balash said: "Today's lease sale is yet another step our nation has taken to achieve economic security and energy dominance. Today's results will help secure high-paying offshore jobs for rig and platform workers, support staff onshore, and related industry jobs, while generating much needed revenue to fund everything from conservation to infrastructure."
NOIA: Make U.S. shelf attractive
Randall Luthi, president of National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA), a trade association representing the offshore industry, said the bidding activity in the sale reflected improving, yet still lower than desired commodity prices. He said that both the number of bids submitted and the total amount of high bids received are up compared to the August 2017 sale figures.
To remind, the August 2017 sale, the first offshore lease sale under the U.S. National Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2017-2022 yielded over $121 million in high bids on 508,096 acres in the Gulf of Mexico. It had offered approximately 76 million acres offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida for oil and gas exploration and development.
Luthi said on Wednesday: "Bonus bids are an indicator of the ability and confidence of producers to invest in the Gulf of Mexico. These are not new fields, and producers are attempting to pick the best of what is left. From that view, the bids demonstrate a solid commitment by the oil and natural gas industry to continue to invest in U.S. offshore energy and U.S. jobs.
"While the outlook is promising, it also comes with a note of caution that with companies looking globally for exploration opportunities, the United States must continue to evaluate how to keep the Gulf of Mexico and other parts of the U.S. outer continental shelf attractive in light of competition from Brazil and Mexico."
To provide some perspective on this week's lease sale, back in 2012, when the oil prices were around a $100 a barrel, a lease sale focused on the Central Gulf of Mexico attracted more than $1,7 billion. At the time, a total of 56 offshore energy companies submitted 593 bids on 454 tracts covering more than 2,402,918 acres. The sum of all bids received totaled more than $2,6 billion.

There are many advantages inherent to the use of a proxy server, but a couple of advantages are so obvious that it would be remiss of any article on server advantages not to mention them. Before you know that however, you need to know exactly what a proxy server is.
Video shows how to hide your ip for on your browse to surf web anonymously.
A proxy server is a server that takes the place of a normal web server, acting as a virtual middle man in the exchange of queries and information between the end user and the web server that contains the information that the user is interested in. In other words, you as a user can direct your communication and interaction with a particular web server through a different server first.
There are some of advantage on proxy servers or you can named as benefit on proxies, If you're do really think the benefit can slove your issue, That's just the reason you need to buy the proxies.
The main reason for using is anonymity. You can research without fear of getting traced. This is because here the requests are directed via a proxy server such that the user identity is hidden completely.
Thus the online marketers can visit their competitor's websites without getting identified. Regardless of the fact that you are accessing a blocked website or just wish to have your IP blocked while extracting data from other sites, one thing is truly valuable on the internet anonymity.
The advantage of this has to do with online security. Because there is an extra step in the process, it is harder for someone monitoring the server to intercept information as it goes back and forth because it is hard for them to know where the information is coming from. This is especially useful for people that send information back and forth on a regular basis and of course proxy servers also provide a certain level of anonymity which is always nice for people that would not like their IP addresses widely known to other people.
The another advantage to proxies from a modern point of view is the fact that they can be used to circumvent normal channels of doing things. For example, consider social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube and so on.
All of these different sites are usually blocked at schools and workplaces, and Here is a page which added some of Free Proxies to unblock website for schools. However, the only way to block these websites is to ensure that information from those servers is not permitted into the network in question. If a person is using a proxy service, then they effectively can bypass those security precautions because the proxy server will not be recognized as belonging to those social networking websites. Ultimately, this is how all of the unblock websites do it and it is a powerful advantage to proxy servers.
This means to extract data from websites. There are chances that the IP address can be blocked preventing website access. However, using proxy server, the identity of internet marketer gets concealed and no one can get blocked form website accessing the data.
Web scraping among internet marketers is a common practice and proxy servers prevent from getting identified in the process of data mining. Proxies maintain the anonymity of the user during the data scraping process, thus eliminates the risk of getting blocked.
Tracking tools are important for SEO and online marketing as they determine the rank and help internet marketers in keyword ranking across the search engines. The tracking tools are important as it helps in selecting the best effective keywords to drive traffic to your website.
Sending mass queries to search engines reveals same IP address and this may result in denial of service that a proxy server becomes important. Sending queries using different proxy servers to search engines ensures no risk of getting IP address blocked. This is helpful in your keyword ranking as well and proxy server is a great tool.
Social media accounts plays a vital role in internet marketing and if you are handling social media accounts in dozens or hundreds, you are sure to make requests to various accounts using one IP address and this would be identified by the sites as illegitimate activity. Many online marketers IP addresses are blocked as they are detected by the social media websites, but you can fix this problem once and for all using a proxy server and pursue your requests without hindrance.
The effective way of automating social media accounts, such as followliker is need to use multiple proxy servers. This helps the activity to be done normally and perfectly. Thus, using multiple proxies for mass work will keep you safe from getting into the risk of getting blocked. In this way, your activity will also appear normal and will not come from one IP address.
SquidProxies.com – Cost approximately $2 Per Proxy, Proxies are auto-delivered within 5 minutes of receiving payment, And the most emphasis is squidproxies guarantee that their proxies will work for your purpose or you get a full refund.
instantproxies.com – Cost approximately $1 Per Proxy, Proxies are more cheap compare with other proxy service, their proxies are good for social marketing. You can test and ping the proxies before you buy instantproxies.

New Album: 'drouth' released today.
Today I'm releasing my first album since 2012, and the first one that's mainly chiptune based since 2011: 'drouth'.
The album is entirely composed on LSDJ using a bunch of different modified Gameboys, which were then in turn to control different instruments like a Commodore 64, Volca Bass, etc that play additional parts to give a much deeper sound. Along with a smattering of guitar and vocals, it's much more an experimental (sometimes ambient) electronic album than a chiptune focussed one.
Unlike previous occasions, I've spent a lot more time putting the pieces together for this, even re-mastering the entire thing a few days ago when I realised that the original left the Gameboy sounding a little bit too harsh.
You can download it in full, for whatever price you choose, over at bandcamp – or stream at the bottom of the page.

There were 6 episodes. It was released in January 2003 in a [[DVD]] box-set in the [[United States]] through [[Pioneer Corporation|Geneon]]. The series details the life and history of Nanako Shichigusa, a 16-year-old who works as a maid (not nurse as the title might imply) in the hospital of Dr. Kyogi Ogami, the male lead. Nanako is a classic ditzy slapstick protagonist who tends to accidentally break things and do everything wrong. Ogami treats her frequently in a cruel or heartless manner—threatening her, yelling at her and even subjecting her to physical abuse—yet at the climax of every episode he comes through to rescue her from whatever predicament she got herself into. Much of the series revolves around the relationship between Nanako and Ogami—his mean veneer, her faith in him, and how he alternates between the evil mad scientist archetype and the knight in shining armor archetype. As the series progresses we are gradually revealed the history between Nanako and Ogami's family and given a reason why the two are so tightly knit together, as well as why the title refers to Nanako as a "nurse". A minor supporting cast is introduced, though Nanako and Ogami are clearly the leads. The plot incorporates the American military, the Catholic Church and outlandish science fiction experiments, with these elements progressed mostly in the lead episode and the last two episodes. The middle episodes 2-4 feature mostly unrelated one-shot plots, though minor progress is made in each episode regarding the history between Nanako and Ogami's family. ==Plot summary== In the beginning, Nanako was the subject of a [[cyborg]] experiment conducted by Dr. Ogami for one of his most powerful robots. Through rigorous training, Dr. Ogami trained Nanako to withstand the pain. However, he made her too strong, and the plan ultimately failed. However, recent developments between the Pentagon and the Vatican to resurrect [[Jesus]] for the [[Second Coming]] have landed Nanako as the subject of an operation in which she will give birth to the new Jesus. Throughout the series, we learn that Nanako is, in fact, the third clone in a series of clones cloned from the original Nanako. The original died from a mysterious illness, and an experiment to clone her was successful. However, around the age of 20, each Nanako clone dies of the same mysterious illness that claimed the life of the first Nanako. It has been Dr. Ogami's quest to cure the "Nanako illness" ever since he promised the second clone that he would heal her before she died when he was young. ==Episode 1: The First Spiral== Nanako is doing her usual chore of cooking, but the fish she cooks burns and, before that, breaks a dozen plates that were handed down through the Ogami family, which later makes Dr. Ogami angry at her. This is typical of Dr. Ogami, as Nanako does get into a lot of trouble. She gets mixed up in a fight between [[Kuron]] and [[Komanechi]], two old people who reside in the hospital. After running out for a few groceries, she returns to meet Dr. Ogami and the [[Army]]. They are conducting an experiment, but she is doing her usual exercises that Dr. Ogami has planned for her. After she finishes, she returns to the experiment, just as it goes haywire. The experiment kills a few officers, and Nanako is sucked into the goo-like monster. She has also caught a cold, so the flu virus helps to weaken the monster as she continuously sneezes. Dr. Ogami rescues Nanako and defeats the monster. The monster freezes and falls apart, ending the disaster. ==Episode 2: Memories of You== Nanako runs through tough training exercises, such as standing under a cold waterfall with nothing but a bikini on, with the help of [[Genki (Amazing Nurse Nanako)|Genki]]. Nanako, however, believes she is on vacation. While standing by the fire at night, Nanako cooks fishes. However, when she gives Dr. Ogami one, he gets angry because she forgot to buy [[daikon]] radish, which helps the protein in fish digest properly. Nanako gets frustrated, and runs away. While in the woods, she encounters a giant bear after trying to light a fire, and Dr. Ogami reminisces about past Nanakos in the trailer. Nanako runs from the bear in fear as it chases her. Dr. Ogami realizes she is missing and then begins to read a signal coming from a stuffed animal he had given to her. He locates her and saves her from plunging off a cliff. Genki stops the bear from mauling her to death. Nanako, while hanging from Dr. Ogami's hand, which has a hold of her foot, begs for forgiveness, but Dr. Ogami drops her into the river below as punishment. However, Nanako catches a cold and relaxes naked in a hot tub above a fire Kuron built. Dr. Ogami appears with the stuffed animal that had thought by Nanako to have been dropped off the cliff when she was rescued, but, not only is it a tracking device, it is also a recorder. It plays back something Nanako had said about Dr. Ogami behind his back. Dr. Ogami gets angry and Nanako freaks, jumping out of the tub naked and running for her life. Dr. Ogami chases after her with a beating stick experiment. ==Episode 3: The Psycho Patient== Dr. Ogami now has to deal with a patient who has a violent record. He is trying to solve a murder mystery for the police. He performs tests on him, while [[Kaoru Satsuki]] teases him. This causes him to become nervous. He also constantly stares as Nanako, as if she is of importance to him. He turns into a "Hyde" monster and wreaks havoc on the Ogami Hospital. Many attempts of falsely torturing Nanako, including stripped her down to only her panties and being tortured by Kuron, hanging her above a boiling pot of goo, topless with only nipple shields to cover her big breasts in a torture ritual, and a near-lesbian scene where Satsuki tries to "make her into a real woman," all fail. They attempt to shoot tranquilizers into the monster to stop it, but all fail, and, in turn, make everyone else except Dr. Ogami go to sleep. While cornered outside in the rain by the monster, Nanako is saved by Dr. Ogami, who manages to put it to sleep. The next day, Nanako goes over to Satsuki's room, hoping to ask her about "making her a real woman", but not the way Nanako thought. However, Nanako caught Satsuki at a bad moment... without her makeup on! ==Episode 4: Fire-Crackers== In her sleep, Nanako is fitted with a special suit which enables her to be a war machine. She can fly, shoot rockets, and fire bullets with the suit. She awakes to find herself in an exhibit showcasing the suit she is wearing. During her display, in which only Satsuki can control, she is stopped by a robot named Griffith, which also destroys tanks and people in the process. Inside, a man named [[Alan Mizuki]] claims she is a cyborg named Nana-Go, which was shown to him by Dr. Ogami in their early days in college together. The once-friend of Dr. Ogami has now become his biggest rival, after sabotaging an attempt to revive one of his loves, Jamie. Nanako pleads that she is not a cyborg, but a human. Mizuki refuses to listen, and still believes she is a cyborg, because she cannot take the suit off. Griffith is then released on her in combat, and eventually destroys half of the hospital. However, Mizuki drops the remote that controls Griffith, and that actives a mode which attacks anything that moves. While frozen, they try to figure out a way to retrieve the remote. When a rock falls from the ceiling, Griffith attacks it, giving them time to dash to the remote. Yet, their plans are foiled when a rock falls upon the remote and Griffith destroys it, destroying the remote also. It goes haywire and fires at everything in sight. Nanako is caught in the middle, and is forced to defeat the robot. She picks the robot up and throws it into the distance, defeating it, but also setting off a self-destruct sequence. It explodes, destroying Ogami Hospital. Outside, in plain view of the wreckage, Nanako soon realizes her suit is running low on battery power. The suit soon falls apart, revealing her completely naked to Mizuki, proving to him she is not a cyborg. She realizes what happened and covers herself. Mizuki is then carried away by authorities, but Jamie rescues him on the way to jail by self-destructing herself. At the end, Dr. Ogami returns from seeing his father to see that the hospital is in ruins. ==Episode 5: The Last Spiral, Part 1== Another attempt to revive Jesus fails. Nanako and Dr. Ogami steal a plane, but Nanako, once again, believes she is going on vacation. The operation to begin the revival of the second Jesus is beginning, and she is on her way there. The government is about to find out Nanako's secret, and almost find out by going to what remains of the hospital. However, they are saved by a task force. The people who lived in the hospital are the ones who figures out that Nanako is a clone. While in the air, a "hijacker" tries to stop them, but fails, mostly because the plane is attacked by fighter jets. In the process, an engine aboard the plane explodes after being hit from one of the jets, making flight almost impossible. So, Nanako is ordered to remove all that she can from within the plane. It fails, and she also, in vain, removes a few articles of her clothing to also help. Yet, Dr. Ogami and Nanako exit the plane, and at the very end, Nanako's bra falls off and into the air. ==Episode 6: The Last Spiral, Part 2== <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[File:Img10.jpg|frame|right|Dr. Kyogi to the Rescue!]] --> Nanako and Dr. Ogami float to safety, and so begins the operation. They strip Nanako down and tie her up to begin the procedure. Dr. Ogami participates, but is really there to sabotage the entire experiment (not to mention cure Nanako). Before putting her under, Dr. Ogami tells Nanako that he called the Army to rescue them. After the first step in the experiment is completed, the Army and Air Force arrives to destroy the area, and the experiment is a complete failure. Another monster goes berzerk and starts killing people left and right, including the head of the experiment, [[Griffin (Amazing Nurse Nanako)|Griffin]]. [[Saint (Amazing Nurse Nanako)|Saint]], however, escapes with the information about the experiment, hoping to sell it to the highest bidder. Dr. Ogami and Nanako escape into a river and wind up near a waterfall. Dr. Ogami dreams of the past Nanako and himself falling in love, and the past Nanako encourages him. Nanako and Dr. Ogami are eventually saved by the rest of the gang. However, after returning to the base, it is revealed that Dr. Ogami was to be assigned to [[SkyLab]] 5, the newest orbital space station. Realizing that the assignment was really a means to hide him, Dr. Ogami refuses, stating that he will not work anywhere that doesn't have fish. After the Army offers to send up as much fish as he wants, Dr. Ogami adds that he prefers grated radish on his fish. After the Army agreed to this request, Dr. Ogami finally stipulated that only one person is allowed to grill the fish and grate the radish... Nanako! When she realized what Dr. Ogami meant, Nanako groaned in discouragement. ==External links== * {{ann|anime|700}} * [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/amazing-nurse-nanako-dvd-set Anime News Network Box set review] * [http://www.mania.com/amazing-nurse-nanako-box-set_article_74852.html Mania.com Box set review] * [http://www.mania.com/amazing-nurse-nanako-vol-1_article_73400.html Mania.com DVD 1 review] * [http://www.mania.com/amazing-nurse-nanako-vol-2_article_73401.html Mania.com DVD 2 review] * [http://www.mania.com/amazing-nurse-nanako-vol-3_article_73402.html Mania.com DVD 3 review] {{Use dmy dates|date=September 2010}} [[Category:Anime of 1999]] [[Category:Anime series]] [[Category:Comedy anime and manga]] [[Category:Ecchi anime and manga]] [[Category:Fictional nurses|Nanako]] [[Category:Geneon]] [[Category:Science fiction anime and manga]] [[Category:Anime OVAs]] [[ja:菜々子解体診書]] [[pt:Amazing Nurse Nanako]]

Diario Judío México - The Yiddish theater classic, Mirele Efros, which Haaretz calls "unquestionably the representative play of Yiddish Theater" is now being presented for the first time anywhere in the world in English translation, as The Jewish Queen Lear.
Produced by Theater J, performances take place in the Gonda Theater of Georgetown University's Davis Performing Arts Center. The theater is a block (about 100 yards) from the main entrance of Georgetown University, at 37th and O Street NW. There are both matinee and evening performances through April 7.
Mirele Efros is an 1898 Yiddish play by Jacob Gordin. While much of Yiddish theater was low-grade melodrama, Mirele Efros was part of a movement by Gordin and other writers to bring serious drama to the Yiddish stage.
For information on prices, schedule, and to buy tickets, go to https://theaterj.org/ or call Theater J at 202-777-3210, 1-4pm Monday to Friday.
Note, and heed, the recommendation to take a taxi or ride share to 37th and O. From the gate, walk into the campus directly ahead, going west, to the theater.
Parking is difficult in the area. There are university garages, up the hill off Canal Road NW and near the hospital off Reservoir Road, but neither is located near the theater.


Don't you just love the scent of pine trees? Especially now, during the holidays, Pine is "the" scent! Pine is uplifting, calming, and mentally clarifying too. When I use my Pine Soap in the shower, it just starts the day off right! Here is a recipe for Pine Essential Oil Soap that can be used with either the Cold Process or the Hot Process methods.
AND, if you are searching for a handmade soap for the man in your life, this recipe is perfect! I have not met a single man who doesn't enjoy the scent of pine (and very few women either). It's perfect for gift-giving, using yourself, or helping add the lovely scent of pine trees to your home.
Note: You'll want to download my Hot Process Soap Making Checklist free! Just complete the form at the end of the article!
I LOVE making our own handmade soap. This is my number 2 favorite for Christmas & Holidays---Evergreen Pine. I either use powdered Nettle leaves OR, in this case French Green Clay for a natural lovely green tint. It's sunrise in this pic, so the green is muted a bit.
NOTE: The above are Amazon links, and their prices are great plus fast shipping.
My other favorite place for herbs (colorants) and essential oils for soap making is Starwest Botanicals.
1 ounce Vanilla Extract---WITHOUT added sugar---just alcohol based only.
Both Starwest and Amazon carry these ingredients!
Learn every single thing you need to know to start your natural soap making journey with the hot process method in this new eBook!

WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES! I also wear a long sleeve shirt. Lye is extremely caustic and burns terribly if it gets on your skin. IF it does, apply vinegar, as it counteracts the alkalinity of the lye. **You can buy gloves and safety glasses at your local hardware store!
1. Heat up your crock pot on low. Put your oil blend into the crock pot (no essential oils until the very end) to melt together and liquify.
2. Now get your lye solution going. ALWAYS pour the lye beads INTO the water-----NEVER the other way around, or you could have some major problems! Mix well. I do this part outside because the fumes are terrible. Set this mixture aside, away from pets and children.
3. Now blend up your essential oils!
4. Pour your clay into the oil blend in the crock pot. I like to do this now as it avoids clumping later.
5. Once the oils are liquid, gently pour the lye solution into the crockpot with the oils.
6. Using your hand blender, mix the oils and lye solution to "trace." This simply means to a point where it looks like pudding, with peaks.
7. Put your lid on the crock pot and let it "cook." You will see it go through different stages (see articles above).
8. When it reaches a waxy, transparent stage, it is most likely done. Check it out! First take a bit between your fingers, and see how it feels. Does it feel a bit like warm wax? Is it translucent? If so, then give it the ZAP test. Just place it on the tip of your tongue. You should feel no ZAP and just taste the good taste of natural soap. If you get ZAPPED (and you will know if you do), then it's not done yet.
**You can also use a pH test kit. I actually did this for about my first 5 batches or so because I was paranoid. But then I could tell what was going on with it.
9. At this point, turn off the crock pot and wait a few minutes. NOW, pour in your essential oil mixture and stir, stir, stir!!! You want those oils completely mixed into the soap.
10. Pour into your soap mold and put aside for about 45 minutes to an hour.
11. At this point, once the soap has cooled some, you have two choices: You can slice off the top (if there is one---I always have one because of the size molds I use), and make soap balls by forming that sliced off top into balls and letting cool. OR You can let it all just cool down and slice off the top when you're ready.
12. Unmold the soap when it's completely cooled down (like overnight). Cut as needed. A note about cutting soap: With hot process soap, there is no need to cut it all up right away. You can cut it as you need it. However, keep in mind that the longer the soap sits and the more evaporation takes place, the harder the soap will be to cut. Just a thought. I have no problems cutting my soap after even weeks.
This recipe is my basic no-fail soap recipe that I adjusted to make a beautiful green colored, pine scented soap. It's a great recipe for starting out your own handmade soap making adventures!
Let me know if you try it and if you have any thoughts or questions!? Do you make your own soap? I'm really interested in learning more about cold process, if you do that style! You can leave any comments or questions in the comments section.


....and here we are almost a month after the Playoff Finals and my hopeful prediction of a Panthers victory was SPOT ON!!!
What a weekend, two glorious gutsy come from behind victories that will live in the memory forever.
This was the Big One that puts all of the other games and victories of the past in the shade.
WELL DONE THE PANTHERS OF 2011.
When panthers lost 2 1 to blaze in the playoff final in lockout year I know we lost but was a brilliant game!
Only one choice for me, one little game against Newcastle in 2001.
Hadden won the face-off, fed it back to Hoffman, he switched the play left to 'Chocolate' Bob Nordmark and the rest is history. Colin Fray went mental, the Panthers block erupted. 4.4 seconds remained on the clock, no time at all for Newcastle to respond. We'd made it, the Great Escape was complete.
one that sticks in my mind.. April 1989...the 8-6 (I think) win in the play-off group game against Murrayfield.
This was the game that finally clinched our place at Wembley and on the same day as the Hillsborough disaster only hours before.
Can anybody tell me PIM for that game?!!
I have been able to find some information to go on for now.
The final total after the game was a whopping 453 PIM, 230 for Panthers and 223 for Steelers.
404 PIM was given in one period alone which had involved the brawl, 211 for Steelers and 193 for Panthers, how many was for the brawl and how many other calls was made in that one period I am unsure about as I cannot remember.
Although I can't recollect much information about the whole game, I'm just glad I was there to witness what now feels like a once in a lifetime game that still gets everyone talking about it year after year for the past almost 14 years.
Rest of the game was minors except Hadden who picked up a match at the end of the second for excessive rough play.
Fantastic goal. I was at work that day & was getting updates from a (then) forum regular, Lucy. The final text to say we'd lost in OT was gut wrenching.


Majestic waterfalls can be found all over Kaua`i. From off the beaten path falls on the Na Pali Coast, to hidden falls in residential areas on the east side, to popular tourist sights, waterfalls can be found in a variety of heights, forms, and locations. Here's my three top picks for waterfalls on the Garden Island.
Up behind Kapa`a lies Ho`opi`i Falls, two hidden falls along a somewhat mellow river that is perfect for a long stroll through the forest. Located on Kapahi Road, which can be seen on Google maps, the falls are nestled behind a residential area, adding to the need for quietness and respect of the area when parking to head to the falls.
Both waterfalls are rather small, but the wonderful thing about them is the entire walk, or low impact hike, that makes the experience into a trek along the Kapa`a Stream though the forest. You may see a local resident or two walking the dog along the trail, and just wave and say hi. During the initial descent down the trail look for passion fruit, or lilikoi on the ground. If you find one in good condition give it a try.
Once down on the stream, the tall tree canopy allows rays of sunlight through, making for a sparkly morning and afternoon to explore the forest and falls. Mosquitos can be heavy here, so bring spray or you may regret it. Follow the river down stream and the well worn path is hard to miss. This isn't a great place for swimming, although some locals do brave it.
Well known Wailua Falls are well known for a good reason – they're amazing! The drive up the road is gorgeous itself, with acres and acres of bright green grassy pastures on either side. Up at the falls there's a rock wall separating visitors from the edge of a cliff high above the pool below the double falls. They falls are quite impressive, said to be about 150-feet high with thick cascading water falling into a nearly perfectly round pool far below.
Try a few different angles for photos. The hedge in front of the wall can hinder pictures a little bit, but moving around is a great help. Right above the overlook is where local artisans often sell hand made palm frond hats and other crafts.
Out on the dry west side, deep in the Waimea Canyon lies Waipo`o Falls. A surprise at the end of the Canyon Trail, which is a moderately strenuous two to three hour hike, the falls and pool below that is ideal for a refreshing swim is worth the effort.
After parking at the Pu`u Hinahina Lookout between the 13 and 14 mile marker in Koke`e State Park, you'll be treated to amazing vistas along the trail. Look for goats enjoying the forest and don't forget the camera for spectacular canyon views. The upper falls has a perfectly swimmable pool, and here you'll be above the lower falls that cascade about 800-feet down.

Effort to rein in pay gathering steam
Aaron Elstein
In the coming weeks, nearly 60 leading companies will be asked to sign on to a seemingly straightforward proposal: Top executives should get supersized pay only if they produce supersized financial results.
The spotlight will be aimed at some of New York's most important companies, including Avon Products Inc., Bear Stearns Cos., Colgate-Palmolive Co. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. This year could prove to be a crucial test of whether shareholder resolutions can pressure corporate America to change how it approaches executive compensation.
"Pay for performance is a simple idea that every company agrees with in theory," says Julie Gozan, director of corporate governance at Amalgamated Bank, which has drafted a handful of pay-for-performance resolutions. "It's time for shareholders to speak up."
The assault on skyrocketing chief executive pay — long the domain of labor unions, retiree groups and other activist investors — is going mainstream. New regulations that require companies to disclose more information about compensation have made it easier for investors to identify executives whose pay is out of line with company results.
Executive pay has also caught Washington's attention. The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on the matter last week, and the panel's Democratic chairman, Rep. Barney Frank, has drafted legislation that would give shareholders a chance to vote on executive pay packages. President George W. Bush weighed in during his Jan. 31 visit to New York, saying that CEOs' pay "should be based on their success at improving their companies and bringing value to their shareholders."
The 60 companies targeted by pay-for-performance proponents this year are more than double the number last year, according to proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services.
Even as the shareholders' momentum builds, many companies are pushing back with equal strength, arguing that aligning pay too closely to performance makes it harder to retain people.
"When you put the matter of pay for performance to a company directly, officials start coming up with all sorts of reasons why they can't do it," says Ms. Gozan of Amalgamated Bank.
Majority loses
For example, 53% of shareholders at J.P. Morgan Chase voted last year for an investor resolution stating that top executives must meet performance targets in order to qualify for restricted stock bonuses, such as the $12.6 million bonus awarded last year to CEO Jamie Dimon.
But the bank declined to adopt the nonbinding measure, arguing that doing so would "unduly limit our flexibility."
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which owns more than 50,000 J.P. Morgan Chase shares through its pension plan, will reintroduce its proposal this year.
"If performance is great, we have no problem with J.P. Morgan paying its people accordingly," says Rich Ferlauto, the union's director of pension investment policy. "But as its stands, pay is not as closely linked as it should be to how the company fares."
At Avon, CEO Andrea Jung was awarded more than $40 million in compensation over the three years ended in 2005, yet her company's share price rose only 4% between 2003 and 2006, compared with a 47% jump for its peer group. Net income at the cosmetics giant fell by 44% last year. Similarly, Colgate awarded CEO Reuben Mark about $55 million in compensation over the four years ended in 2005, a period during which the company's stock price rose at less than a quarter the pace of its peer group while net income increased only 5%.
`Competitive disadvantage'
Avon opposes the pay-for-performance resolution it faces this year, saying it is "unnecessary and may result in a competitive disadvantage." Colgate declined to comment.
Shareholders are also targeting Bear Stearns, where CEO James Cayne has been awarded more than $100 million in compensation over the past four years — although the company's investors have been richly rewarded, too, with Bear's stock more than tripling over that time. Bear Stearns declined to comment.
Pay-for-performance advocates have scored some victories, and add that just shining light on executive pay at poorly performing companies can trigger change.
Verizon Communications Inc. adopted a pay-for-performance policy before last year's annual meeting, after the Association of BellTel Retirees drafted a resolution, according to the group's president, Bill Jones. A Verizon spokesman says that the company has always aligned pay with performance.
Mr. Jones says the fact that Verizon adopted his group's platform before it could even be brought to a vote illustrates how sensitive companies are becoming. "Verizon doesn't want to be embarrassed any more than anyone else," he says. "The concept of shame can be a very powerful one when the issue is paying for performance."

An international boundary in the middle of nowhere
Just north of Logansport, Louisiana, along FM 31 in Panola County, Texas and CR 765 in De Soto Parish , sits one of the more interesting historical relics in the Southwest: the only remaining boundary marker between the Republic of Texas (1836-1845) and the United States. Set in 1840, the other boundary markers were washed away by rain and erosion.
The boundary marker is in a little roadside spot that belongs to the Texas Historical Commission. Its nondescript location belies its importance as the only international boundary marker located within the United States. Talk about history written in stone!
If you want to see the marker, you'll have to want to see it… this isn't a road that you'd simply drive on and happen to find the marker. To make the journey easier, here's a map:
Happy trails!

Paddle Wheelers on the Red, part I
Paddle wheeler "Amy Hewes" on the Red River (no date), but most likely this picture was taken in the 1940s. The "Amy Hewes" was built in the 1920s for the Jeanerette Lumber Company, and was last owned by the May Brothers of Morgan, LA.
This boat was mostly in service in the southern part of the Red River around the Atchafalaya River confluence, St. Mary's Parish. It plied the waters of Bayou Teche.

Where crime did not pay in Henrietta
Drove to Henrietta, Clay County, Texas the other day to take some photos and came across this utilitarian, brick structure behind an adobe building (which may be a city-owned structure) and facing the old Clay County Jail (now the Clay County Jail 1890 Museum).
What could this building be?
This little building intrigued me, because it reminded me of a calaboose – a one room jail cell, often used as a drunk tank. But, I pondered, why would there be a calaboose next to a county jail?
There it is, on Google Maps.
Well, I know that calabooses tended to be built behind either police stations or city halls. For some Saturday night sleuthing, I took a look at the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps for Henrietta. The map in 1912 showed a calaboose further down the alleyway (today, it's the side alley area of the public library).
Lo and behold, the map in 1922 shows a calaboose in the location of this brick building, sitting behind the a new city hall along Ikard Street. So, I surmise that the little building is, in fact, a calaboose. Woohoo!
The calaboose used to be down the alley from the county jail, back in 1912.
By 1922, the calaboose was located across from the county jail.
Another wild and crazy Saturday night here at Red River Historian.
(The Sanborn Maps were found at the Perry Castaneda Library.)

Spanish Bluff
Reader Ben Jones graciously shared a vantage point of the Red River that's rarely seen nowadays – Spanish Bluff on the southern bank of the Red River. Thank you for this lovely photo, Ben!
Located between Bowie County, Texas and Little River County, Arkansas, Spanish Bluff was named after an event that took place in 1806.
An American expedition team from the Corps of Engineers was sent by President Thomas Jefferson to study the flora, fauna, and geology of the Red River as part of the Louisiana Purchase expeditions. Led by Peter Custis, Thomas Freeman, and Richard Sparks (military commander), the ultimate goal was to see if the Red River reached to Santa Fe. However, New Spain believed the Red River to be part of their territory. The Spanish commander Francisco Viana learned about this expedition from James Wilkenson, the governor of the Louisiana Territory and reputedly a spy for the Spanish. Viana pursued the American party and halted its trek at the bluff pictured here. Because the Red River Expedition was not supposed to be a military action, the Americans immediately stepped down from their journey and returned to Natchitoches.
The Spanish mistook their border claims. Since the Louisiana Territory included all western water sheds that drained into the Mississippi River, the entire Red River should have been American territory… as well as the Sulphur River, which drains into the Red River. However, the 1819 Adams-Onis Treaty established the U.S. and Mexican boundary at the Red and Sabine Rivers in exchange for Spain relinquishing Florida to the U.S.

Slices of Sibley
Sibley (1757-1837) is buried in the American Cemetery in Natchitoches, Louisiana.
John Sibley was the first Indian Agent in the Louisiana Territory. Born in Massachusetts, Sibley became a physician in North Carolina and joined the army during the Revolutionary War. Years later, he offered his services again to the army along the Red River frontier. While there, he served as an Indian Agent in Natchitoches. He helped to procure the provisions and guides needed for Thomas Freeman, Peter Custis, and Col. Sparks to explore the Red River after the Louisiana Purchase.
The purpose of an Indian Agent was to ensure the security of the United States and its claims, which meant negotiating treaties, land sales, and agreements with tribes in the areas where they worked. Dr. Sibley documented his work as an Indian Agent through copious correspondence, some of which is reproduced below.
In 1804, Sibley described the final peace negotiations between the Caddos and Choctaws at the Indian factory in Natchitoches in a letter written to his commanding general. In this excerpt, he explained that the availability of liquor in the "little town of Natchitoches" had a bad effect on all inhabitants.
In 1806, Sibley sponsored an expedition to "recover" a large meteorite from the lands between the Brazos and Red Rivers in Spanish Texas that Indian Trader Henry Glass had relayed to him.
Of course, "recovering" this medicine stone was highly illegal for at least two reason. For one, the Spanish had made their claims on the lands of Texas abundantly clear, and they definitely did not want the Americans invading their lands. Secondly, the Wichitas and the Comanches considered the meteorite an important medicine (religious /medicinal artifact). Sibley thus paid for this expedition out of his own pocket, as he had hoped the meteorite was made of platinum and, I assume, he could retire in luxury if he was able to sell it.
The "platinum rock" turned out to be an iron meteorite, which eventually up at the Peabody Museum at Yale University.
Sibley's expedition stole the meteorite from the Texas lands and sent it to geologists in New York once the sample was determined to be iron, not platinum. Purchased by rock collector George Gibbs, eventually the 1,600 lbs meteorite – the largest recovered as of that time period – centered Gibbs's extensive collection. Gibbs's wife donated the rock to Yale University's Peabody Museum.

Stage Coach Times
Adverts in old newspapers help to provide context to history, such as how much the Red River Valley was interconnected long before our modern interstates.
I was perusing several historic newspapers on the Library of Congress when I came across this notice for a stage coach route that traveled from Clarksville (Red River County, TX) to Shreveport (Caddo Parish, LA) via Washington (Hempstead County, AR) in the Dallas Herald.
Note the misspelling of "Clarkesville" – it seems that Mr. Crutchfield needed spell check. It is also comforting to know that the drivers will be sober.
The Texas Hotel in Sherman (Grayson County, TX) most likely accommodated guests for the many stage coaches that went through town weekly or even daily. Sherman was serviced by stage coaches to McKinney (via Mantua); to Bonham (via Warren); and to Greenville (via Pilot Grove).
After 1858, the Butterfield Overland Stage Coach that was the first transcontinental stage coach line and mail line had a stop in Sherman, in the wee morning hours.
This ad was found in the Dallas Herald of August 9, 1856. I think that modern hotels could take some pointers.

Humphreys' History
The former elementary school in Humprheys, Jackson County, OK is a bit on the sunny side.
Even though Jackson County (Oklahoma) is home to the air force base at Altus, it is full of ghost towns. Many of them lost population during the Great Depression, but it wasn't until the latter half of the 20th century when the communities lost their schools (to me, the loss of a school is the hallmark of a ghost town).
I visited Humphreys in southeastern Jackson County and took a picture of its school, which closed in 1961. This was the "new" elementary school, at least for a while. Three teacherages (teacher homes) sat across the street, but they have been razed. I got a lot of my information from two extremely knowledgeable and pleasant people, Bill and Louise Snodgrass, who came out to talk to me. Mr. Snodgrass attended school in Humphreys. He was born not far from the Red River in a half dug-out. Ms. Snodgrass was the former county clerk of Jackson County!
There is nothing better than hitting the road with a vague destination in mind. You'll never know what – or especially who! – you'll find.
Bill and Louise Snodgrass from Humphreys shared A LOT of history with me. Lovely people whom I'm so honored to get to know, even in passing!

Transcontinental mapping
The northern portion of John Pope's 1854 map to survey a possible transcontinental route through Texas marks the Cross Timbers between Gainesville and Preston on the Red River.
In 1854, John Pope of the US Army (and a veteran of the Mexican American War) was tasked by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis to plot out a transcontinental railroad route through Texas. Southern politicians worked very hard to convince the rest of Washington that a southern, not northern, transcontinental route was preferable.
Pope documented his expedition on this map, which was printed in 1861. He denoted where he set up camps along his journey, which started at the Rio Grande in El Paso and ended at the Red River in Preston (Grayson County, TX). This is a small portion of the much larger map – I especially like where he marked the "lower" and "upper" cross timbers around misspelled Gainesville (Cooke County).
It looks a lot like he didn't "invent" the trail that he took – in many places, it mirrors the Butterfield Overland Stagecoach route, which suspended operations at the start of the Civil War. Southwest of Fort Belknap (Young County), he surveyed a more westerly direction, as the stagecoach route meandered towards Fort Phantom Hill.
When southern states left the Union in 1860-1861, the hopes for a transcontinental line from St. Louis to San Diego (through Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona) seceded with them.
The middle portion of the 1854 Pope map has the proposed transcontinental route going straight southwest from Fort Belknap and bypassing Fort Phantom Hill. (David Rumsey Map Collection)
