I sat next to Kim on the plane back from a wedding in Hawaii last week-end. And I believe Kim is responsible for all of the problems in our country today.
Kim is intelligent, attractive, articulate and thoughtful. And she doesn't vote. She registered some time back when she lived in a different state, but hasn't voted for a while. Can't really remember when she voted last. But, she's very unhappy with the state of affairs in our country . . .
Ouch! These people make me nuts!!!!
I firmly believe that the Internet is about ready to rock Kim's world. In the next two presidential election cycles, I predict that enterprising groups are going to find a way to go far beyond what Howard Dean did (raise money) and actually develop tools that will make people feel less disenfranchised. And people are going to start voting – in huge numbers.
Consider the sad fact that most political elections (even national elections) in the U.S. are decided by 12 to 24 percent of the potential electorate. Depressing . . .
So, Internet geniuses . . . it is time.
Let's build the tools that will finally give us a smell test (or B.S. test) to ferret out the truth. Let's begin developing the networks of the disenfranchised that will double election results overnight. In the flat world of the Internet, issues may actually have a chance, and money may become much less important.
Or so we hope.
And, Kim is waiting . . .

In the past year Phoenix have conquered the world, even cracking America with their fourth album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Yet they have managed to do it without toning down their distinctly European personality. "Not just European — continental European," guitarist Laurent Brancowitz says. "Our approach is very continental. The lyrics are all about Paris and dead people."
But there's one thing about the French guitar flâneurs that never changes — they attract a very female crowd. As one friend puts it, they are the very definition of "hot girl music." "Yes, I've noticed," Brancowitz admits. "For sure, we are not doing music especially for men. When we were in the studio, we were talking about this consciously: 'We must do an album that women will like.' " The female fan base has its benefits. As singer Thomas Mars says, "That's why we don't have trouble finding people to work for us on the road. We asked our sound engineer, 'Why don't you tour with some larger band?' He said, 'Are you joking? Your show has beautiful women every night.' "
One stereotypically European thing about Phoenix is their cerebral and analytical approach to things that most American bands would pretend to be totally unselfconscious about. Brancowitz and Mars are two of the most articulate and intelligent rock stars imaginable, so naturally they have lofty ideas about the aesthetics of playing for women. "Women are a more interesting audience," Brancowitz says. "They are more open to a pure form of pleasure. Men are more interested in demonstration, the technical virtuosity. Women have their arms open to celebration." Phoenix especially notice it in the live show. "When we played Williamsburg last year, I could see all these guys who were standing and folding their arms. That's how I am at a show, too — when I'm having a good time, I stand and fold my arms. It's the women who start dancing. But it's good to have both kinds of audience — and it's especially good if they end up having sex together after the show. That's our goal."
The four men of Phoenix grew up together in Versailles, a city steeped in French history. As Brancowitz explains, "The king built Versailles as an imaginary city for the nobles. He built this castle, and put the nobility there, so he would have complete control over his environment. So it's a city that doesn't really exist. What is existing there now is the ghosts of this past, this glorious past. The perfect symmetry of the architecture became part of our imaginations." The antique atmosphere of Versailles shaped the way they experienced music. "It was like growing up in a museum," says Mars. "Everything great was in the past. So we had this obsession with music that sounded new. A drum machine was much more important than a real drum."

|Wigtownshire Towns & Parishes
|Information related to all of Wigtownshire
Description of the County in 1885
"WIGTOWNSHIRE, a maritime county in the SW extremity of Scotland, forms the W division of Galloway, and contains the most southernly land in Scotland. It is bounded on the N partly by the mouth of the Firth of Clyde, but chiefly by Ayrshire, E by Kirkcudbrightshire, S by the Irish Sea, and W by the Irish Channel....
...The interior is divided into three great districts. The peninsula, or rather the double peninsula, W of Loch Ryan and Luce Bay, is known as the Rhinns of Galloway; the district which forms the broad-based triangular peninsula between Luce Bay and Wigtown Bay is called the Machers; while the rest of the county, N of the Machers and E of Loch Ryan, bears the loose general name of the Moors...
...The streams of Wigtownshire are very numerous, but for the most part of short course and unimportant size. The chief is the Cree, which for 21 and a half miles forms the boundaries between Kirkcudbright and Wigtown shires, just before it enters Wigtown Bay at Creetown....
...Wigtownshire is almost exclusively an agricultural and grazing county, its manufacture and commerce, and mining being but of little importance...
...The royal burghs in the county are Wigtown, Stranraer, and Whithorn; the burghs of barony are Newton Stewart, Glenluce, and Portpatrick..."from the Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland, edited by Francis H. Groome, 1885
If you are uncertain of the location of a place in Wigtownshire, try searching the Where in Wigtownshire is ... ? pages which locate 1200 places in the county. Once you have located the parish, go to the relevant parish page where a link to Places in .... parish takes you to a selection of online historical and modern maps.
National collections, all with material concerning Wigtownshire:
Internet collections:
Local collections:
Wigtown is Scotland's Book Town. Bookshops there have a good stock of books about Scotland, or by Scottish authors.
Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society publish local monumental inscriptions, census indexes, and much more.
Stranraer and District Local History Trust have a number of excellent publications on the area.
Dumfries and Galloway Libraries publish many items concerning local history, including newspaper indexes, and the Through the Lens series of old local photographs.
Dumfriesshire & Galloway Natural History and Antiquarian Society Many of the older Transactions are online - containing much material on history, genealogy, customs, natural sciences, etc., for the three counties of Dumfries, Kirkcudbright and Wigtown.
Details of all cemeteries are given on the parish pages.
Records for cemeteries currently in use are held by Dumfries and Galloway Council, Local Services, Culhorn Depot, Commerce Road, Stranraer, DG9 7DE. Tel: 03033333000.
An excellent site containing a wealth of information about the older graveyards in the county is Historic Graveyards in Dumfries & Galloway.
Monumental Inscriptions in the Machars were recorded by J E Birchman in the 1980s. They have been published by the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society. Copies are in local libraries and at the Ewart Library, Dumfries.
The Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society has a large collection of monumental inscriptions from throughout Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire and Wigtownshire. It has created a database of both published and unpublished headstone inscriptions. The Society also produces booklets listing the stones in many of the cemeteries.
Partial listings of stones in some parishes can be found on Rootsweb.
Details of published Monumental Inscriptions are on the respective parish pages.
Unfortunately, burial registers for the parishes in Wigtownshire are very few. Many parishes have no pre-1855 burial registers whatsoever. There are transcripts of some of the pre-1855 burial registers on the Wigtownshire Pages.
War graves can be seen at the Scottish Wargraves Project; and war memorials can be seen at the Scottish War Memorials Project, the Roll of Honour website, and the Wigtownshire pages.
There has been a census every ten years since 1801, excluding 1941, but only those returns from 1841 onwards carry details of named residents. The latest that is currently available for inspection is for 1911. All census returns are held at the General Register Office for Scotland in Edinburgh, and they can all be consulted there at the ScotlandsPeople Centre, and online at the ScotlandsPeople website.
The 1841 and 1851 censuses were organised on a parish basis. The census reference number will be the same as the Old Parish Register (OPR) reference number. From 1861, censuses were organised on a registration district basis. There were some differences between the 2 different administrative areas. Some addresses will therefore appear in a different area, under a different reference number, from one census to another. Differences are noted on the relevant parish pages. There is a list of the census parish / district reference numbers here.
The 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses are indexed and online at the ScotlandsPeople website. They can be searched and copies of the census pages can be purchased. For 1881 only, transcripts can also be purchased.
The 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses are available on ancestry.co.uk (indexed transcripts, no images of the pages).
The 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses are available on findmypast.co.uk (indexed transcripts, no images of the pages).
The returns for 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 are available on the FreeCEN website.
The census returns for 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 have been microfilmed by the LDS church and may be consulted in their Family History Centres around the world. The LDS library catalogue numbers for the films are given here.
Microfilms of the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 census are held by the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society and are in some local libraries.
The 1881 census has been transcribed and indexed and is available at LDS Family History Centres, some libraries and some family history societies.
1841 census surname indexes for every parish in the county are available from the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society.
Transcripts of the 1851 census for some parishes are on the Maxwell Ancestry site.An index to the 1851 census is available online, created by the Friends of the Archives of Dumfries and Galloway.
An index to the 1891 census is available on microfiche at some local libraries and family history societies.
A Vision of Britain provides census statistics and graphs from the 1801 census onwards.
Histpop, the online historical population reports website, in its census section provides access to all the published population reports for Britain and Ireland from 1801 - 1937. The site has a huge amount of statistical information both at a county level and at a parish or district level. There is no personal information on the site.
A census of Religious Worship and Education was taken in 1851 at the same time as the census of population. A table of statistics about the churches in Wigtownshire at this time is available here.
Take a look at photographs of churches and churchyards in Dumfries and Galloway many of which are from Wigtownshire.
The Churches of Britain and Ireland site has photographs of many churches in Dumfries and Galloway. More are needed - can you help?
Information about the church records for each parish will be found on the parish pages.
The original Old Parish Registers, sometimes called the Old Parochial Registers, abbreviated to OPRs, are held at the General Register Office for Scotland in Edinburgh, and they can all be consulted there at the ScotlandsPeople Centre. They comprise the registers of baptisms / births, proclamations / marriages, and burials / deaths of the parish Church of Scotland for the years up to 1854. There is a list of the OPR parish reference numbers here.
The births / baptisms, proclamations / marriages and deaths / burials indexes can be searched at the ScotlandsPeople website. Copies of the register entries may be purchased.
Copies of the registers on microfilm may be consulted in LDS Family History Centres around the world. The birth / baptism & proclamation / marriage records are indexed on the IGI (International Genealogical Index) on microfiche and online at the LDS website (see below). Copies of the films (not necessarily of all parishes) are also held by Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society and in some local libraries. There is a list of the LDS library reference numbers for the OPR films here.
The Detailed List of the Old Parochial Registers of Scotland, published 1872, gives details of the coverage of the OPR volumes including the gaps within them. These pages list the information about the Wigtownshire parishes.
The condition of parish registers was recorded in the New Statistical Account. In 1849 William Turnbull published a book which extracted from the New Statistical Account remarks by the ministers about their individual registers. For the most part the ministers describe their registers as imperfect, defective, and not voluminous. The book is available from the Internet Archive.The searchable LDS website - Family Search (and the IGI):Note on using Family Search and IGI Batch Numbers:
It is not always easy to locate your ancestors in Family Search using the search mechanisms provided at the above LDS site. Manually typing the batch numbers into the search screen can be tedious. Hugh Wallis has made an exhaustive search of the likely ranges of batch numbers and created a database of those numbers and the source records that they apply to. A very powerful feature included is a hotlink from each batch number to the actual search engine provided at the Family Search site, including the ability to enter the surname you are looking for. This makes it very easy to search all the batches for a particular geographic location using just the last name you are searching for - something that is not possible directly from the LDS site without doing a lot of typing. This is Hugh Wallis's site.
The Kirk Session of a parish consists of the minister of the parish and the elders of the congregation. It looks after the general wellbeing of the congregation and, particularly in centuries past, parochial discipline. Almost all Kirk Session records are held in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh; those which are held at other locations have been scanned and are available as digital images at the National Archives of Scotland (and at some other archives in Scotland). Some Kirk Session material is often to be found amongst the Old Parish Registers. Details of record availability are given on the parish pages. The Kirk Session records have been scanned with a view to making them more widely available soon.
The Heritors were the landowners in each parish who were responsible (until 1925) for the maintenance of the church and manse and (before 1878) for the parochial school. They were also responsible, with the Kirk Session, for the Poor of the parish until 1845. Their records are also to be found in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Records of the Synods and Presbyteries are to be found in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.
For information about the ministers, see Occupations below.
Records of many other churches, particularly Free Churches and United Presbyterian Churches, are also to be found in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh. Some of these records include baptism and marriage registers. Some of these records are also available on microfilm in LDS Family History Centres and there is a list of them and their library reference numbers here.
Records of the Catholic Church in Scotland are held by the Scottish Catholic Archives, in Edinburgh. Indexes to and images of the Roman Catholic registers of births and baptisms (1703-1908), banns and marriages (1794-1934), deaths and burials, and other events, are available at the ScotlandsPeople Centre and are also on the ScotlandsPeople website.
Records of the Synods and Presbyteries are to be found in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Records relating to Jews in Scotland from the eighteenth century are held by the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Glasgow.
Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths began inScotland on 1st January 1855. The original registers are held at the General Register Office for Scotland in Edinburgh, and they can all be consulted there at the ScotlandsPeople Centre.
Indexes can be searched and copies of certificates can be purchased, viewed and downloaded at the ScotlandsPeople website. Records currently available online are Births (1855 -1913), Marriages (1855 -1938) and Deaths (1855 -1963).
The indexes to later Births (1914 - 2013), Marriages (1939 - 2013) and Deaths (1964 - 2013) are also online at the ScotlandsPeople website. Copies of these certificates can be purchased online for postal delivery. Current (2014) cost is £12 each.
Copies of some of the records on microfilm may be consulted in LDS Family History Centres around the world. The records available on film are for 1855 - 1875, 1881 and 1891.The LDS library catalogue numbers for the films of Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates are given here. The births and marriages for 1855 - 1875 are included in the Family Search website and the microfiche IGI (see Church Records above. Batch numbers - using Hugh Wallis's site - are those beginning C and M for 1855-1875).
There is a partial transcription of 1855 Death Register entries for the whole county on the Wigtownshire Pages.
Registration districts did not necessarily coincide exactly with parishes. In the 20th century especially, there were frequent changes in registration districts. Unfortunately there are no published maps which show registration district boundaries. The parish pages indicate which registration districts covered each parish. See also Historical Geography below.
There is a list of Registration Offices in Dumfries & Galloway, together with their opening hours and telephone numbers. (Those in Wigtownshire are: Newton Stewart, Port William (Mochrum), Stranraer, Whithorn and Wigtown.) Unlike their English counterparts, local registrars in Wigtownshire may not necessarily hold all the historic registers for their district. Because of this, searches and applications for copies are better conducted at the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh.
Histpop, the online historical population reports website, in its Registrar General section provides access to all the published registration reports from 1855 - 1920, giving statistical information on numbers of births, marriages and deaths, as well as some medical statistics. There is no personal information on the site.
A very informative site, giving a lot of information about the history of registration in Scotland from 1855 to the Second World War is The Scottish Way of Birth and Death. The section on Marriage, in particular, can explain a lot about the details of a Scottish marriage certificate.
Records of Wigtown Sheriff Court and Wigtown Commissary Court are held by the National Archives of Scotland. An outline of the records is given on a separate page.
An Index to Consistorial Processes and Decreets at the Commissariot of Edinburgh, 1658 - 1800, is available at the Open Library. These are court actions concerning marriage, legitimacy and divorce.
A Vision of Britain provides historical descriptions.
Surrounding counties: Ayrshire and the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright.
The latest information on sites to see, recreation, and accommodation can be found on the Visit Scotland website.
A good guide to the Galloway area is C.H.Dick's "Highways & Byways in Galloway & Carrick". This was first published in 1916.
A book which may be of interest is John Hume and Judith Anderson's "Dumfries & Galloway: an illustrated architectural guide". As the title suggests, it concentrates on the architecture of the area. However it is well illustrated with hundreds of photographs and contains short descriptions and historical notes on many places.

The Highland and Agriculture Society of Scotland
published an article
Thomas Maclelland of Kirkinner, Wigtownshire in 1875 on the
state of agriculture in Galloway. Section 5,
A sketch of the early state of agriculture in Kirkcudbright and
Wigtown, depicts the times from the seventeenth to nineteenth century.
These paragraphs record the effect the Napoleonic conflict had on the region. "The first impetus the agriculture of the two counties received was consequent on the high prices of grain during the French war. Gold or silver had always hitherto been a scarce commodity in Galloway. No transaction of buying or selling was ever settled in cash. Bills or promissory notes were given and taken for the smallest, as well as for the largest amount. Tradesmen's accounts, and even servants' wages, were paid in the same manner. When the excitement of the French war brought prices double of what had ever been heard of, and gold found its way into the district, the farming interest began to flourish. New steadings with thrashing mills were erected, strong and substantial fences were put up, and improvements on all sides became visible. The rent of land received an extraordinary advance, and at the set of the Baldoon estate in 1806, just before purchased by the Earl of Galloway, such was the excitement, and the eagerness to possess land, that the auctioneer had to restrain his bidders with the caution, "Remember, gentlemen, you are not purchasing the land, you are only leasing it." But, alas! the high built hopes that these prices would always remain were suddenly dashed to the ground; for on the cessation of the war in 1815, the low prices which followed drained the farmers' pockets, of most, if not of all their capital, leaving them completely in the power of their landlords, who in some instances, at least, did not push their advantage to the utmost. A period of great depression in agriculture ensued, and for twenty years neither landlords nor tenants were possessed of ability or spirit to prosecute much improvement."
The Union of the crowns in 1603 marked the end of the the reiving times. The reiving times was the conflict that raged between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries on the border between Scotland and England. A book, The Steel Bonnets, provides a history of the reiving times.
History of Dumfries and Galloway by Herbert Maxwell provides
a history of the region as it relates to Scottish history from A.D. 79
to about 1750. Read some brief excerpts. "...It has been stated above
the activity of the Legislature in proceeding
against witches was not manifested in Dumfrieshire and
Galloway until a latter period than in the rest of Scotland. From 1656
onwards, however, this devilish business was pressed with diligence by
some of the church courts....
....The record is not so black in Wigtownshire. There is indeed, no evidence of any witches having been put to death in that county...."
The Covenanters in Arms -- "...The smouldering fires, kindled by the creation of Episcopacy and the imposition of a liturgy, now broke forth. The General Assembly, in defiance of a writ of disolution issued by Hamilton, continued to sit at Glasgow, and on November 21, 1638...
...Preparations for war were begun as soon as the Assembly adjourned. Although the great territorial influences of the Maxwells was on the side of the king and bishops, the mass of the people in the south-west and many of the baronage had signed the Covenant, and were ready to fight for it."
One of the greatest transportation changes of the nineteenth century, the railway, came to the county in 1861. There had been a railway between Glasgow and Dumfries since 1850. Moving into Galloway, the first line that that was opened was the section between Dumfries and CastleDouglas in 1859. It was extended to Portpatrick in 1861. A line to south from Newton Stewart to Wigtown was opened in 1875, and extended toWhithorn in 1877. Also in 1877, a line was opened from Portpatrick to Girvan, providing onward connection to Glasgow.
The site, Museums
and Galleries, provides a look at various aspects of Dumfries
& Galloway over the centuries. The link, Local economy
within the the section History of Dumfries records
the following. "Dumfries was, and indeed still is, the most important
market town for South-West Scotland and as such has always serviced the
surrounding countryside. Cattle have long been an important industry
and ancillary industries used to be significant in Dumfries; tanning,
leatherworking, shoe making, clogmaking and saddlery to mention a few.
The agricultural improvements of the 18th century brought about
increased yields from cultivated land and considerable areas were given
over to the cultivation of oats, barley and wheat. The ancillary
industries for these are brewing, distilling and milling."
"Galloway cattle together with beasts imported from Ireland were driven south to English markets in vast herds, often as many as 30,000 a year. Towns such as Stranraer, New Galloway, Kirkcudbright and Dumfries served as collecting points on the droving routes, which ran the length of Galloway from Portpatrick to Carlisle. One of the favourite crossing points which saved a detour of miles was from Dornock across the Solway and there is a pub on the English side at Monkhill near Burgh by Sands called the Drovers Rest. One of the places on the distance marker affixed to the Midsteeple is Huntingdon, in the last century one of the most important of the English cattle markets. Droving was killed off by development of steam shipping but meat export continued to be important."
The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft lists 15 witches who lived in Wigtown between 1563 and 1736.

AccuScore's computers give the Buffalo Bills the second-slimmest chance to win in this week's menu of NFL games.
In 10,000 simulations of the matchup, the Bills beat the Houston Texans in Reliant Stadium just 27.9 percent of the time.
The lone lower projection belonged to the Arizona Cardinals, who defeated the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in 16.7 percent of the sims.
The Bills averaged 21.1 points. The Texans averaged 31.0 points.
Texans running back Arian Foster was a simulation superstar against the Bills' suspect defense. He averaged 136 rushing yards and ran for less than triple digits in only 32 percent of the sims. But when he was held under 100 yards, the Bills won 52 percent of the time.
More often, Foster ran for over 150 yards. He did so 38 percent of the time, and the Texans won 91 percent of those games.
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was pedestrian. On average, he completed 54 percent of his passes, threw 1.5 touchdowns and 1.5 interceptions.
AccuScore still is ahead in forecasting Bills games this year and would have a dominant record had the Tennessee Titans not scored that fourth-and-9 touchdown to win by a point in Week Seven.
AccuScore is 5-2 straight up in Bills games and 4-3 against the spread.
In the updated weekly season forecast, the Bills made the playoffs 14.5 percent of the time and won the AFC East 2.3 percent of the time. The Miami Dolphins went to the playoffs in 50.1 percent of the sims and won the division in 14.3 percent.
The New York Jets returned to the postseason in 10.4 percent and won the AFC East in 1.1 percent. The New England Patriots were at 94.5 percent, 82.3 percent.

Bald Mountain Camping Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This park has quickly become our favorite getaway. We always choose a lakeside pull-through. The managers and owners are on site and very helpful. We had a small water issue this last trip and were able to borrow a wet vac to help mop up the water. The park is clean,quiet, and peaceful. It's close enough to some great sites in the North Georgia Mountains, but remote enough to be quiet. The mountain veiw is fantastic. There is a pool, but we didn't use it. We are planning on a week long trip in the fall.

After exhaustive research, we chose this campground for a birthday trip for my husband. After reading all the reviews, we were prepared for the narrow road. A bit more narrow after encountering an 18 wheeler going the other direction! We were directed to our site and someone helped my husband get the camper positioned just right. The staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't participate in the tubing, but it would definitely appeal to the kids! Very family friendly, and we have recommended it to our friends, with and without campers! We would love to go back again.

This was our first visit to this campground. We were very impressed. The campgrounds were clean and well maintained. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The directions supplied with my reservation made the campground easy to find. One small issue, one shower I used could not be adjusted for height, but I was able to make it work. We intend to make this a yearly visit.

The Port Arthur News
Port Acres —
A nine-hour hostage negotiation involving an armed man and his two-year-old niece forced local authorities to evacuate the Memorial High School 9th Grade Campus and several blocks of 61st Street before the suspect was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon.
Police detained a 28-year-old white man after he threatened police and barricaded himself in a relative's house while holding his young niece hostage.
The girl was released unharmed into police custody after about seven hours. The man's name and the charges filed against him have not been released.
Officers arrived at the house on the 2500 block of 61st Street at 6:38 a.m. Wednesday after the two-year-old's grandmother, who owns the house, reported a domestic disturbance, said Officer Wendy Billot with the Port Arthur Police Department.
When officers approached the house, the suspected point a gun at them through a window, Billot said.
After negotiating with police officials all morning, the suspect turned the two-year-old child over to authorities at 2:22 p.m. and surrendered himself two hours later.
Officials said the child appeared unharmed. She was placed into the care of Child Protective Services after arriving at the police station.
Police Chief Mark Blanton said the authorities were able to negotiate the release of the child by "exchanging some items." The suspect placed his niece outside the front door and officers "snatched her and ran," he said.
"It was a simultaneous exchange," he said. "He got what he requested and we got what we requested."
The suspect, who claimed to have three rifles, a pistol and two homemade bombs, was under the influence of narcotics, according to Blanton.
"Have you even tried to negotiate with someone on drugs? It's not easy," Blanton said.
At one point in the negotiations, authorities offered the suspect hamburgers, which he refused in favor of chicken nuggets. Blanton said he traded three cigarettes for one of the suspect's guns.
Blanton did not give details about why the suspect took his niece hostage other than to say it "involves his mental and physical state."
Several of the suspect's family members stayed near the crime scene but refused to speak with reporters.
The suspect's brother, who was talking on his cell phone for several hours during the standoff, was arrested for "interferring with what we're doing," Blanton said.
The toddler's grandmother, who has legal custody of the child, was taken away from the scene by an ambulance early in the afternoon and may have suffered a heart attack, Blanton said.

My parents came to visit for a few days over the July 4th holiday. We began their visit with dinner at a local restaurant and concluded their time by getting ice cream cones. These two experiences that bookended our time together were both laden with the challenge to make a choice from among many options.
The ice cream shop we visited is one of those classic places that makes its own ice cream on-site and has dozens of flavor options. Not to mention everything from cookies and cream to chocolate almond, there are choices about whether to have the ice cream in a dish or a cone. And if it's a cone, should it be a regular cone, sugar cone, or waffle cone?
Within the first few licks of my banana strawberry cone, I said to my wife, "I almost got the watermelon water ice. Maybe I should have done that." It wasn't that the banana strawberry cone tasted badly. In fact, it was good. In response, my wife wondered also about her flavor selection. It went something like, "This is good, but…" Does any of this sound familiar?
Perhaps you are also familiar with opening the menu at a restaurant and finding that so many of the items listed sound good. We go back and forth between several possible selections finally narrowing it down to two or three. Then we just have to pick one and go with it. How often have we, after placing our order, begun to wonder if we made the right choice?
Thinking about all the options from which we have to choose, how many colors of wall paint are there? Do we really need 47 varieties of toothpaste? How do I know which fragrance of shampoo to get this time? Even before getting to the restaurant and having to sort through the menu, there is the matter of deciding at which restaurant you want to eat.
As we sat there at the ice cream shop licking our ice cream cones and second guessing our selections, we began to talk about how we needed to stop worrying about what we should or could have chosen and just simply focus on enjoying what we did choose and the time we had together. The conversation reminded me of an insightful book entitled The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less (Barry Schwartz).
Schwartz opens the book with this summary of the paradox inherent in burgeoning choices:
There is no denying that choice improves the quality of our lives. It enables us to control our destinies and to come close to getting exactly what we want out of any situation. Choice is essential to autonomy, which is absolutely fundamental to well-being. Healthy
people want and need to direct their own lives.
On the other hand, the fact that some choice is good doesn't necessarily mean that more choice is better. …there is a cost to having an overload of choice. As a culture, we are enamored of freedom, self-determination, and variety, and we are reluctant to give up any of our options. But clinging tenaciously to all the choices available to us
contributes to bad decisions, to anxiety, stress, and dissatisfaction…
Has the pursuit of happiness through unbridled, unchecked capitalism and consumerism actually prevented us from truly being happy? Has, as Schwartz contends in his book, the culture of abundance robbed us of satisfaction?
Given that prosperity, abundance, and burgeoning opportunities are not the key to happiness, does that mean the key to happiness is the absence of these? No. Because contentedness is not about how much we do or don't have. It is not about whether we have an iPhone 3 or iPhone 4, or even if we have an iPhone at all. It is not about whether we have 5 or 50 menus options, whether we have 3 or 30 ice cream flavors from which to choose.
Contentment is a quality formed in the soul that is independent of circumstance. The Scriptures demonstrate that we can learn the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether living in plenty or in want. (Philippians 4:12) No doubt, being surrounded by a culture of stuff makes the formation of this inner quality more challenging. This is also why the Scriptures direct those with abundance to be rich in good deeds, generous, and willing to share. (1 Timothy 6:17-18) These are some of the many ways we choose to be content and form it into our being.
So it would seem that even before considering our choices, while sorting through the options from which to choose, and then after we have chosen, the choice of all choices is choosing contentment.

By Mark Fischenich
The Free Press
Six women -- lawmakers, moms, a pastor, a teacher -- sat down at a Mankato church Wednesday to speak up about their opposition to the marriage amendment on the Nov. 6 election ballot.
State Sen. Kathy Sheran, a Mankato Democrat and daughter of a state Supreme Court chief justice, focused on civil rights and freedoms.
"This is a constitutional amendment we're talking about here, changing the essential document of the state," Sheran said.
Neither defeat nor passage of the amendment -- which would buttress the existing state law banning gay marriage -- would immediately change the status quo in Minnesota. Amendment supporters say it needs to pass to prevent courts from overturning the state law, known as the Defense of Marriage Act, which limits marriage to heterosexual couples.
But Sheran said even if the amendment is not adopted and even if the Defense of Marriage Act is eventually overturned, churches would still have to the right to refuse to marry gay and lesbian couples. The state, however, could choose to recognize same-sex marriages performed in civil ceremonies or in churches that agree to conduct those marriage ceremonies.
"I'll defend the right of the church to do within the church what they want to do," said Sheran, who was raised in a Catholic family and educated in Catholic schools. "... I do not support the extension of that to the lives of individuals (outside that church) or the rights of other groups."
Former state Rep. Ruth Johnson, DFL-St. Peter, said gay couples should have the same access to the rights and responsibilities of state-recognized marriage that other couples have.
"Gay and lesbian couples are like everybody else," Johnson said. "They want to marry for the same reason as everybody else: To make a lifetime commitment to someone they love."
Rep. Kathy Brynaert, DFL-Mankato, spoke of her 44-year-marriage to Tony Filipovitch, the three daughters and grandson that resulted, and "all the trials, tribulations, joys and wonders" that followed.
"Remember the love and blessings that are the foundation of your family," Brynaert said. "Remember the hopes and dreams you've had for your own families and children. Please do not close those hopes and dreams off from others. Look to your hearts. Vote "No."
Sara Grandberg-Rademacker said she compares her marriage to the decades-long relationship of her aunt and her aunt's female partner. Both relationships are based in love and commitment, both couples shared those ideals while raising two sons, but only one relationship is recognized by the state, she said.
Paulette Ford spoke of her gay son and his partner, both well-educated, hard-working, taxpaying Minnesotans who give back to their community and display the values the state should honor.
And Pastor Collette Broady Preiss said she was working to persuade people to vote "No" on behalf of Ian, her "best friend" from childhood on, her son's godfather and a fellow minister who is gay.
"Among the congregations I serve, there are many who disagree with me on those issues," said Broady Preiss, who believes Minnesotans should be free to interpret the Bible as excluding gay marriage. "... But that doesn't belong in state law."
The event was organized by Minnesotans United for All Families, the main organization working to defeat the amendment.
Minnesotans for Marriage, the largest organization pushing for passage of the amendment, isn't planning a similar "Vote Yes" media event in Mankato prior to the Nov. 6 general election, said spokesman Chuck Darrell.
"Our efforts are focused right now on getting out the vote and our phone-banking," Darrell said. "And of course, we're working through churches as well."
Darrell said the primary message is that government's traditional interest in marriage is promoting stable families for children to grow up in, that traditional marriage is under attack in the courts, and the amendment is a way to fend off those attacks.
"The marriage amendment simply allows the people to weigh in and protect it in the state constitution," he said.

TNT's new crime drama Murder in the First marks a return to form for Steven Bochco, the creator of pioneering cop shows like NYPD Blue and L.A. Law. (No, it's not based on the 1995 movie of the same name.) Starring Taye Diggs (Private Practice) and Kathleen Robertson (Boss) as homicide investigators Terry English and Hildy Mulligan, the show follows the investigation, from start to finish, into a single case — namely, a double homicide.
TNT is taking a stab at a new, dark and very creepy homicide mystery with Murder in the First.

NEWBURYPORT, MA —The Firehouse Center for the Arts will host Sing-a-long-a Grease, when the unique, interactive show rolls into town, marking the 40th anniversary of the original stage version of Grease. Be a part of this fun-filled event on February 10, at 1:00 p.m. at Market Square, Newburyport, MA.
Now is your chance to be the diva you always wanted to be! Come sing along to the great movie musical, complete with on-screen lyrics and the chance to become a T-Bird or Pink Lady for the night and enter the world famous costume competition. Grease (1978) is the American musical film directed by Randal Kleiser and produced by Paramount Pictures based on Warren Casey's and Jim Jacobs's 1971 musical of the same name.
Sing-a-long-a Greasers are invited to attend decked out in their own versions of fifties high school garb worn at Rydell High, including poodle skirts and saddle shoes, black leather biker and powder-pink bomber jackets, chiffon scarves and skinny ties. Costumes are most definitely encouraged, but only the singing is mandatory!
This performance starts with Firehouse Sing-a-long-a host extraordinaire John Budzyna (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music) who will warm up the audience, give some instruction on the finer points of how to "hand-jive", deploy the contents of your free goodie bags, and heckle in all the right places; as well as judge the costume competition. So grab your Brylcreem and get you, your best girl and your hot rod over to the Firehouse -- you don't want to miss this!

This is a plea to voters to use their common sense when voting for president. Obama has no positive record to run on. His vote-buying giveaways with tax money on borrowed money are without precedent. Obamacare was crafted behind closed doors and voted in while most people still do not know what all it contains.
He has been ineffective in foreign policy, always apologizing for the United States. He was deceptive on the Libya incident with four Americans being killed in a terrorist attack. President Obama is the most pro-abortion president we have ever had. As an Illinois Senator, he voted three times against the Child Protection Act, which would allow babies that survived abortion to live. How barbaric is that? He seems to have a hostility toward people of biblical faith. Our national debt is a disgrace. The military has been down-sized and the job situation is grim. We are in grave danger of losing our freedom if Obama is re-elected.
If you care about your country please use your common sense and vote for Mitt Romney.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.
