Oberheim Matrix 12
Oberheim's Matrix 12 is a legendary analog synthesizer from the mid-eighties that is still the king of analog sounds. One of the fattest, roundest, pleasantly analog synthesizers around! It's long been known for creating some of the thickest and best analog pads, sweeps, buzzes, basses and textures. It features Matrix Modulation for extremely wild virtual patching for almost unlimited range of sounds and modulation capabilities!
The Matrix 12 is similar to the Xpander and the lighter Matrix 6. But the Matrix 12 is much fatter and more programmable than either. Every control can have an effect on some other parameter thanks to Oberheim's flexible design. For example, there are 15 types of LFOs and VCAs per voice! And there's plenty of diagrams drawn out on the front panel of the synth to help you figure out some signal routing. This is not a synth for the beginner. It is used by The Orb, Gravity Kills, Vangelis, Technotronic, and Depeche Mode.

If Apple Builds a Low Cost iPhone, How Many Will It Sell?
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster believes a low-cost iPhone device could see sales in the neighborhood of 75 million units in 2014, CNET reports. Munster made his forecast in a note to investors, adding that Apple is likely to sell a $300 non-subsidized iPhone in September.
The downside to doing so is that such a device could and probably would cannibalize regular iPhone sales. According to Munster, a non-subsidized iPhone would eat into about a third of regular iPhone sales, ultimately leading Apple to concede 37 percent of the high-end smartphone market.
What do you think? Should Apple launch an non-subsidized iPhone, or stick with premium models only?

Gigantism is abnormal growth due to an excess of growth hormone during childhood.
Giantism; Pituitary giant
The most common cause of too much growth hormone release is a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland. Other causes include:
If excess growth hormone occurs after normal bone growth has stopped, the condition is known as acromegaly.
Gigantism is very rare.
The child will grow in height, as well as in the muscles and organs. This excessive growth makes the child extremely large for his or her age.
Other symptoms include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about the child's symptoms.
Laboratory tests that may be ordered include:
Imaging tests, such as
For pituitary tumors with well-defined borders, surgery can cure many cases.
When surgery cannot completely remove the tumor, medicines are used to block or reduce growth hormone release.
Pituitary surgery is usually successful in limiting growth hormone production.
Early treatment can reverse many of the changes caused by growth hormone excess.
Surgery may lead to low levels of other pituitary hormones, which can cause:
Call your health care provider if your child has signs of excessive growth.

[QUOTE=freezeland;1195142]Well, if Freezeland were in the oval office he would deport their ambassador to the US, and immediately recall ours from Moscow. He would break all financial ties with the Russians, and convene an emergency and highly visible meeting of the heads of NATO and honor any previously agreed to provisions of our NATO treaty to protect the Ukraine. He would also immediately deploy a carrier battle group to the mediterranian (if one is not already there re-deploy one to it), and move a couple arleigh burke destroyers or ticondoroga class cruisers (long range aegis system platforms) along with a fast attack submarine in to the black sea as a show of force. Russian reaction to the above would dictate next steps.
But Freezeland ain't in the oval office, and so we can all be thankful of that
If that is truly what you would do, I'm thankful that you're not in the Oval Office.
And by the way, you need to brush up on your Naval warfare tactics; too many targets and not enough subsurface ships to protect them.-Paul

Baby Bush "lost" Iraq (2004) and Georgia (2008 -country not state) and Obama (2014) Crimea ? Okay neo-cons lets bring back the draft and send your sons , open your wallets and bleed! Afghanistan/Iraq is now up to 3 Trillion Dollars while Katrina/Sandy is 24 Billion. Raytheon , Boeing, Northrup military-industrial complex ..wave the flag and let other kids die! Been in that movie.
Yes I did cut and paste but it does look close without the assassination. Just a few different players and Chiana is big one.
The Start of World War I
The spark that started World War I was the assassination of Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. The assassination occurred on June 28, 1914 while Ferdinand was visiting the city of Sarajevo in the Austro-Hungarian province of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Although Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the nephew of Austria's emperor and heir-apparent to the throne, was not very well liked by most, his assassination by a Serb nationalist was viewed as a great excuse to attack Austria-Hungary's troublesome neighbor, Serbia.
However, instead of reacting quickly to the incident, Austria-Hungary made sure they had the backing of Germany, with whom they had a treaty, before they proceeded. This gave Serbia time to get the backing of Russia, with whom they had a treaty.
The calls for back-up didn't end there. Russia also had a treaty with France and Britain.
This meant that by the time Austria-Hungary officially declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914, an entire month after the assassination, much of Europe had already become entangled in the dispute.
At the start of the war, these were the major players (more countries joined the war later):
am I the only one that thinks we are getting "baited" by Putin to get involved ? I dont like what he is doing to Ukraine but I am a day older and hopefully a day wiser to know to stay out of this...I am not saying to turn a blind eye, but lets get our logistics in place first
The reaction here is like Russia is about to invade Europe, the Ukraine has been part of the Russian Empire for over 350 years! Try to imagine that Russians, not just their government, think of the Ukraine in the same manner as you might view Texas deciding to re-join Mexico.
The situation over the Crimea should be even more straight forward and easy to comprehend as to why the West should not be too hasty to escalate tensions on that portion of the Ukraine....the USSR granted the Crimea to the Ukraine territory back in 1954 as a good will gift to celebrate Russia's 300 year dominion over Ukraine.
The rush to action should be tempered by at least a cursory review of history. Like it or not, and personally I don't like to see any nation subjugated by another, the Ukrainian territory and autonomy is not as clear cut at that of the old Soviet satellite states of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Any Western political leading the charge into battle on this issue might rightly be viewed as more the fool than hero.
Putin is a bully and greedy, hitting him in the pocketbook will be more effective than threatening military action. But make no mistake... Russia will crucify Putin if he looses the Crimea and the Naval port in Sevastopol and for that reason he will risk anything to prevent that from happening.

power without lumber, raciness without weediness
A big man never looks down on others.... instead, he is someone to look up to.
Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it! Who "gave" the Crimea to the Ukraine in 1954 but Nikita Khruschev (USSR Head Commie- fellow Ukranian). Read blind ambitions post #28.
Then you go on to say that we are getting ready to "put our tails between our legs and cut and run in A'stan" WE have been there for almost 13 yrs allready. Do you think those 13 yrs of war and the inherent costs and loss of life has been worthwhile?How long do you think we should stay? What objectives would satisfy Pres Freezeland?
Finally if someone were to objectively grade the effectiveness of W's Cowboy diplomacy against the two third world countries he started wars with what grade do you think would be given? Do you think that sticking our noses into Russia; while being still engaged in A'stan and to some extent Iraq & continuing Bush's Cowboy diplomacy against the nuclear superpower Russia would be a resounding success?
Are you on some military contractors payroll?

Position papers: Norton City Schools Board of Education
Matt Collier vs. Floyd (Butch) Easterling Jr. vs. Linda Kloetzer vs. Robert Knight vs. Jason Sams vs. Cindy Webel (incumbent)
Voters living in the Norton City School District will vote for three candidates for Norton City Schools Board of Education in the Nov. 5 General Election. The race is nonpartisan. The information provided below was submitted by the candidates, with their responses to our questions printed as submitted.
Matt Collier
Why are you running for a seat on the Norton City Schools Board of Education?
"I am running for the Norton School Board because basically, because I would like to make a difference in my community. It has always been something that has intrigued me. I finally decided that there was 'no time like the present.' With my work history, I believe I can offer some unique perspectives. I was born in Norton, I still live there, and I plan on staying there. I have invested 44 years of my life in the community and plan on many more. My parents graduated from Norton. I graduated from Norton. My daughter will graduate from Norton I would like my daughter to have the best of all opportunities. I want her to want to raise her kids in Norton and send them to Norton City Schools.
"Norton is a city and school system that I am proud of. I would like to see the reputation of the school continue to grow and prosper."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"Make sure Norton's academics continue to exceed the state standards. For obvious reasons, academics are first and foremost.
"Help Norton successfully build new schools which gives the students the best access to a proper learning environment.
"Help balance a budget that will allow the correct share of funds be disbursed to the appropriate programs. I believe all students benefit from the participation in extra-curricular activities. It helps the student become more rounded."
Floyd (Butch) Easterling Jr.
Why are you running for a seat on the Norton City Schools Board of Education?
"I have always had a passion working for our young children. While living in Houston, TX I was involved with our son's schools for several years, PTO President for three years and Treasurer for 2 years. I have been involved as a youth adviser for children at our church in Akron, a Sunday School Teacher. Served as Scout Master and Explorer adviser while living in Houston, and I know the importance to guiding children and have the right guide lines in place.
"Having three sons my oldest graduating from HISD in Houston, TX and my other two sons graduating from Norton Schools. I have four grand children presently attending Norton Schools, now that I'm retired and have the time to devote to our schools. I feel it is time to become involved to supporting them and the entire student body attending Norton Schools. To make sure, that we keep our excellent rating, and to see how to improve other on going issues that face the district."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
- "The two aging Elementary Schools, Cornerstone and Grill are a very high priority both needing to be replaced. With the widening of Cleveland Massillon Road it presents a very serious safety issue for Cornerstone with the loss of some of the playground area. With both the school and playground sitting so close to a very dangerous intersection.
- "The football stadium which is also used for soccer and band practices has a similar issue as Cornerstone Elementary school. With the widening of Cleveland Massillon Road it also is presented with serious safety issues, and the liabilities it could face staying at its present location. Moving it to another location to preserve the importance of Football and other sporting events to this community only makes sense, but is also a priority for me on how to achieve this.
- "I have been receiving a lot of negative responses talking to different Norton citizens about the Bond issue to be voted on in November, there is a lot of false or misconstrued information floating out there. I hear the concerns that are felt. I would like to be able to address some of these issues. Yes, we have issues within our city that is causing concerns that does not include our school system. It only makes since that we build a New High School with Stadium for the students in Norton, move the students around to the Middle School and present High School and Primary School, when the State of Ohio …" [Exceeded stated word limit.]
Linda Kloetzer
Why are you running for a seat on the Norton City Schools Board of Education?
"I am running for the Norton Board of Education because I still have a passion for education. For 26 years I've been involved in the schools as a parent, volunteer, board member, and now a grandparent. I served on the school board from 1998 through 2005, when the groundwork was laid for eight years of Excellent state ratings. All-day kindergarten was instituted in 2001, and I'm extremely proud that we have provided so many kindergarteners with the best possible start to their education. All elementary schools were reconfigured to K-4 buildings so each teaching staff could plan together and collaborate between grade levels. Curriculum and technology were both greatly improved. Board members, administrators, certified and non-certified staff worked together to 'do more with less.' And it is still that way today. Norton City Schools continues to provide an 'Excellent' education to students while spending the least amount per pupil of all the districts in the county. What an achievement! I think my experience, historical perspective, understanding of school finance and state funding issues, and staying current on various state mandates will be invaluable assets on the Board of Education."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"My top priority would be to help Norton City Schools continue to provide the best possible education for children. The district has been rated 'Excellent' or 'Excellent with Distinction' for eight years, but state standards have changed and we must continue to search for ways to improve.
"A second priority would be to stay on top of finances and ensure the district is spending responsibly. Norton City Schools has always been at the bottom of the county in spending and at the top in achievement. With constant cuts in state funding and a still-struggling economy, it will be increasingly difficult to stay at the top. But we must continue to spend district money wisely while still always searching for ways to improve education.
"My third priority would be to ensure the quality of district employees. Our teaching staff has been second to none, and with retirements in the past few years and some looming in the near future, I hope Norton City Schools will continue to attract quality teachers. It's important that board members, administrators, and teachers all work together to make the district successful."
Robert Knight
Why are you running for a seat on the Norton City Schools Board of Education?
"Being a life long resident of Norton, and a Norton High School graduate (Class of 1989) and a business owner in the city, I believe that we are in a pivotal time in the community and our schools could use a new vision and new leadership. I believe I could bring, to the board, fiscal responsibility and I have a vision for the future regarding the new high school and sports complex."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"To work toward a new high school and sports complex which would bring pride to the community.
"To improve communication and understand between the school and the community.
"Although Norton schools have achieved excellence in education, we need to continue striving for the best education and opportunities for our students which would assist them in today's competitive economy."
Jason Sams
Why are you running for a seat on the Norton City Schools Board of Education?
"Through the years I have been asked by many members of the community to run for the Norton School Board to use my training, dedication, and experience to help secure the safety of our schools for the future. I have a vested interest in the Norton School System both as a resident and a Police Officer to continue to improve the safety, security, and sound fininacial responsibility."
What would be your top three priorities if you took office? Why?
"Safety: I will use my experience as a Police Officer and as a Security Director to ensure that we have the right policies and procedures in place to keep our students and faculty safe within the Norton School System.
"Security: As Security Director of one of the largest employers in Summit County I have the responsibility of maintaining a secure environment for over 2300 employees and a very large customer base. I currently oversee the construction layout for camera systems, alarm systems, and preventative measures to secure our facilities. I will use my experience in design and layout of security equipment to make the current school campuses secure.
"Sound Financial Responsibility: I will make sure that I represent the citizens of Norton in a responsible financial way, and be fiscally responsible when voting on a budget or monetary decision. I will monitor the budget throughout the school year and work closely with the administration and the residents to ensure that the best possible educational opportunity and environment is provided to each student in Norton."

"I am running for the Norton School Board because I want to continue to serve the Norton Schools and community as I have for 14 years. I have the experience needed to work with our administrators, teachers, staff and community to continue to provide our students with an excellent education while maintaining fiscal responsibility. The state is constantly changing the way we educate our children and we need people with experience to lead our district."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
"My top priority will be and has always been to provide the children in Norton with the best possible education. We are an excellent rated school district and our students have some of the top scores in the county. Our district needs to continue to provide an academically challenging curriculum within our budget. To maintain fiscal responsibility is another top priority. In Norton we have always done more with less. We have been able to provide an excellent education while spending the least amount per pupil of the 17 school districts in Summit County. The third priority is to update our facilities. It is very important to provide our students with up-to-date facilities that can help prepare them for their future as a college student, a person entering the workforce or as a member of the military."

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
NASHVILLE – NCAA tournament bids won't be extended until after games are finished today, but Ole Miss coaches and players believe they have ended the SEC's longest streak without an appearance.
The Rebels watched Vanderbilt hit four of its first 10 3-pointers and take an early lead, but the Commodores were gassed late, hitting only two of their final 20 attempts.
Ole Miss got inspired play from seniors Reggie Buckner and Murphy Holloway – the Rebels' advantage inside to Vanderbilt's perimeter driven-offense – and won 64-52 before 14,574 fans at Bridgestone Arena.
Ole Miss (25-8) advances to its first SEC Tournament championship game since playing Kentucky here in 2001.
The Rebels take on Florida at noon on ABC.
The winner gets an automatic bid to the NCAAs, but the Rebels were breathing a sigh of relief late Saturday afternoon.
"We knew after the Mississippi State debacle that we had hurt ourselves," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "But at 25-8 and now having won 14 SEC games I feel pretty confident that we've been able to get that albatross from around our neck as it relates to the NCAA tournament."
The Rebels last played in the NCAAs in 2002.
After defeating Missouri 64-62 in the SEC quarterfinals late Friday, there were mixed opinions from the "bracketologists" regarding the Rebels' future. Several called the Vanderbilt game a must-win for Ole Miss.
"We've done enough. They can't keep a 25-win team, second place in the SEC and in the (conference) tournament out of the tournament," said Marshall Henderson, who led all scorers with 23 points, his second 20-plus game here.
Before gaining that confidence the Rebels had to handle Vanderbilt (16-17).
The Commodores hit 17 3-point shots when Ole Miss won at Memorial Gym earlier this year. They were playing their third game in three days.
Kennedy wanted Vanderbilt to fire it up as often as it could.
"That's why I played so much zone (defense)," he said. "We wanted to keep them out of the paint. Jump shots usually go when the legs go."
Ole Miss erased a nine-point first-half deficit to rally to a 26-all tie at halftime.
When the jump shots went Vanderbilt fell behind by 18 in the second half.
It was then that Buckner seemed to be near every big play. He finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, Holloway adding 12 and eight.
Ole Miss also left the door open by missing free throws down the stretch. Ultimately they got the ball in Henderson's hands, and Vanderbilt spent 17 seconds before finally deciding to foul the SEC's free throw leader.
Holloway said he worked to motivate Buckner.
"I told him if we lose, we go back home, go back to school and ain't got no love," he said. "Then we've gone to college four years – me five – and hadn't accomplished anything."

After a nearly two-hour delay for unexplained reasons, Netflix (NFLX) finally got under way with tan unusual webcast video conference call at 6:02 pm, Eastern time, following the Q2 report earlier this afternoon.
Unlike Yahoo!'s (YHOO) Q2 call last week, delivered in a somewhat slick newscast style, the Netflix stream looked like a webcam-based videoconference, with each participant in a close up, against drab backgrounds, and apparently in separate locations.
Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells start the call off by passing the Q&A to Julia Boorstin of CNBC. The first question is complaints that the call actually would reduce investors' ability to have an open exchange with the company. Hastings replied that he thought the question should be held until the end of the call.
Rich Greenfield, a bull on the stock at BTIG Research, was next, asking Hastings why it was that net additions didn't reach the top end of the company's forecast. He said that the company intended the forecast range to allow the company to achieve the midpoint of the range, so he was happy with how things turned out.
Greenfield also asked about "Arrested Development," which appeared not to have had the kind of boost to subscriber additions that was expected. Hastings and Wells that bringing in viewers with original content can require multiple series to really lure viewers.
Greenfield noted that there was confusion about the company forecast for margin for the year. Investors had supposed that a statement about margin operating 400 basis points seemed to be a full-year outlook, which would imply underperformance in the fourth quarter. But Hastings said it was a mistake in how the language was posed in the press release. In fact, he said, what the company was talking about was that the Q4 itself will see a year-over-year rise of 400 basis points, not the full year.
Netflix shares continue their decline as the call goes on, currently down $17.52, or almost 7%, at $244.44.
Boorstin asked Hastings about churn of subscribers, which the company doesn't report. "I don't even look at subscriber churn. What I really focus on is overall growth, which is really net additions."
But Greenfield wanted to know why, if households in North America are watching an average of 90 minutes a day, "Why would that household churn at all." Hastings said there are some households that watch much less, and might be more prone to churn.
Wells was asked about the company's large spend on content, and he replied that the company "have been very clear that our investment in content will run ahead of our P&L for some time to come." He noted that a lot of newer details have higher up-front cash outlay.
Said Boorstin, "Some people calculate that disparity between EPS and cash flow at $2 per share. Will we see that affect EPS."
Wells disputed the figure, saying content spending was perhaps running 20% above reported EPS.
Greenfield responded by demanding to know what is the actual cash outlay and how does it flow into the cash position.
"We make payment partially upon delivery, and then another section, it depends upon the deal, it could be 18 months. But we've put in our letter that depending on our original programming, we may need to seek more capital."
Hastings said it didn't seem likely Netflix would need to do a stock sale in the next twelve months. When Boorstin asked about a possible offering in the next two to three years, he said it was too far off.
Hastings said that given increasing "contribution margin" from streaming operations, "I think it's pretty clear that we have been able to grow revenue faster than investment." He said the company is "extremely profitable" in its U.S. business "supporting the investment in international," which is growing revenue fast, but not profitable.
When Greenfield asked Hastings about whether his stock is overvalued, he begged off, saying "Management is probably not the best judge of their stock's value." He noted the stock has been "so volatile," at $80 a year ago. "It's been a very volatile stock, because we've been growing so aggressively. We're pursuing a business that requires us to put all of our investments into international growth."
Boorstin asked about the company's tendency to compare itself to HBO even though HBO owns more of its own content.
"Most original programming originates in this way. You hedge your bets a little bit and step in and do more licensing deals. That's what HBO did in their earlier days."
"The more confidence we build, the more we will will take an ownership stake [in original content]."
Asked about competition for licensing and for buying original programming, Hastings emphasized that although prices can go up with competition from Amazon.com (AMZN) and others, he was comfortable with the cost to the company. He also emphasized that the competition for original shows was a "very good thing for content creators," especially the "revival," as he called it, of serial television.
The final question was whether the company would do other formats, including movies, talk shows, evening newscasts, etc. Hastings said that while Netflix might not go as far from its roots as, say, HBO, which has live sports programming, nevertheless, "we can have lots of types of content over the next five to six years."
"We're fundamentally in the membership happiness business, as opposed to the TV business."

I'm not sure of the predominant age group around advogato, but some readers may be familiar with the facial blemish common of high school aged computer geeks known as the zit. Today, I applied a rather potent anti-blemish agent in the form of a viscous soap before leaving for skül. It has worked well in the past, so I didn't give it much thought.
When I arrived at school, a friend kindly suggested wiping the side of my face. Thinking there was some kind of residue from the soap, I grazed my face with my left hand. My left hand got nicely blooded. Well, that's never happened before :P

This week's Mommy Moments theme is all about "the name game". Meaning of name, story behind it and his recent picture.
My son's name is the combination of my first and my husband's middle name. For security reasons I won't be mentioning our full names. FRANCIS is his real-first name. FRANKY for short. Taken from St. Francis-Xavier.
Even before we got married, we'd often talk about names that we would want to give our first child. If it's a boy, we will combine our names, if its a girl we will combine our Mother's names. God gave us a boy, and so we combined our names together.
FRANCIS means FREEDOM or a FREE MAN. I learned about it, when a friend from America sent me a birthday card with a small thingy indicating what my name means. It feels great to know that of all meanings, a good vision of what and who it (name) stands for brings out an inspiration...that is being free. And freedom is what most of us seek for. Living freely, free from stress, free from all negative vibes. Anything that will make a person free and happy.
And this is my first child's recent picture. Took it today, after their Linggo ng Wika celebration in school. What a joy preparing him for this school activity--- that I used to celebrate too. Just 12-15 years ago, I was doing a folk dance in school, my mom helped me look for a costume. Now, its my turn to help my own kid in school.

Are they supposed to go in the water or not on the blind. The description of the tests sounds like they just cross the levy. Several posts mention dogs taking the water. Which is right?
I LOVE the picture of Guide. Looks like he is chewing on a stick. What pressure?

Hard to tell what's going on, they are 10 dogs behind reporting, no diagram or picture of the test, room for improvement
It says they had a system problem with Blogger.
Of course, right when I am wanting to hear how John and "Diva" did.

Drive is the manifestation of Desire, and measured in Style.
Thank you judges who score Style, you are preserving Desire!
Diva had a no bird but 76 ran 30 minutes ago so she may have run by now
I'm not normally one to complain because I realize that there is a lot of work going into this but I think a lesson or two could be learned from the Canadian National blogs...pics, description of tests, etc.
Still, a thanks goes out to those working on this.
Nope, my old dog Tracker was a pretty respectable and respectful most of the time, But........Hmmm....... I am sure you are right, but aren't all respectable dogs respectful?
.....You should have seen the looks he gave me when I missed a shot.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

The last time I used it,approximently, 5 years ago, I smoked the biggest body turkey, I have ever shot! It's been sitting back in the gun cabinet for some time, so I think I'll take it out this year, and maybe change my luck. I haven't gotten a turkey since, I put it away. Anybody use theTK2000, and what kinda loads do you shoot? Also, I have some tips, on getting rid of any plastic foul issues. I have developed a load, with a special wad, to elimate fouling, plus cushion your shot, so there is little deformation of pellets. Anybody who uses the TK2000, your input is appeciated!!

Mather Family Collection
The American Antiquarian Society holds a rich collection of American and English editions of the writings of Richard Mather of Dorchester, Massachusetts, and of his descendants, from forgotten Warham to never-to-be-forgotten Increase. This collection comprises approximately 515 volumes and is preeminent among the very strong Mather collections at the Boston Public Library, the University of Virginia (which holds the William Gwinn Mather-Tracy W. McGregor Collection), and the Massachusetts Historical Society. These volumes, agreeing in name if not in quality, are segregated from the Society's topical and chronological collections and are shelved as a unit. (An armful of late reprints and frequently used works, such as Cotton's "Diary," 1911, and Ronald Bosco's edition of "Paterna," 1976, are shelved in appropriate open access collections; their number is not included in the figure given above.)
Access to the American editions of Mather works printed through 1840 are available online. Foreign editions and works published in America after 1840 are listed in the General Catalog; English editions printed before 1801 are accessible through the catalogs produced by the Eighteenth-Century Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) project as well. The Society's holdings are incompletely listed in Wing's Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America...1641-1700, rev. ed. (New York, 1972- ), Evans's American Bibliography (Chicago and Worcester, 1903- 59), Shaw and Shoemaker's American Bibliography (New York, 1958- ), and, of course in Thomas J. Holmes's great bibliographies: Increase Mather, 2 vols. (Cleveland, 1931), Cotton Mather, 3 vols. (Cambridge, 1940), and The Minor Mathers (Cambridge, 1940), which incorporate exhaustive indexes compiled by Joseph Tuckerman Day and George W. Robinson. These bibliographies, together with the Society's card and online catalogs, make the corpus of Mather writings the most diversely accessible of the Society's well- cataloged collections.

Family: Aceraceae, Maple view all from this family
Description Large deciduous tree. Leaves 8–15 cm. long and equally wide with five palmate lobes. Leaf buds pointy, brown colored. Twigs green, turn dark brown. Flowers in corymbs of 5-10 together, yellow-green and without petals; flowering occurs in early spring after 30-55 growing degree days. Fruit a double samara with two winged seeds, seeds globose, 7–10 mm. diameter, the wing 2–3 cm. long. Seeds fall from the tree in autumn and remain viable for only a few days.
Dimensions Height: 21-30 m. (70-100 ft.)
Diameter: 0.6-0.9 m. (2-3 in.).
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range Southeast, Great Lakes, New England, Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada.
Discussion Sugar Maples engage in hydraulic lift, drawing water from lower soil layers and exuding that water into upper, drier soil layers. This not only benefits the tree itself but also many other plants growing around it.
Comments Sugar maple is suscetible to salt, excessive heat, and leaf scorch in drought. The dense shade and shallow roots of sugar maple may preclude growing lush grass under its canopy.
Exposure Preference Shade to partial shade.
Native Distribution Newfoundland., s. along mts. to n. Georgia, w. to Minnesota & extreme e. Kansas
Site Preference Moist bottomlands; rich, wooded slopes
Soil Preference Rich, moist, well-drained soils. No pH preference.

Chris and I are packing some serious new digital cameras (hers looks like a tank!) and our first occasion to use them with relish occurs in Oxford, Maine, where we come across a giant melting icecream cone on the roof of Konehead Ice Cream. Yeehaw! A fine start. We move slowly at first, only shooting the really choice stuff. Later we get a little wilder, and I wind up with over 1000 photos by the end of the week.
Route 2 is gorgeous. Traffic is minimal, the sky is blue, the gas tank of the Subaru is full, and all is well. We stop for coffee in Lancaster, a small New Hampshire town which has a really cool old Rialto theater front (Chris was smart and took a shot of it, when she puts her travelogue up I will link to it so you can all see). The coffee is great, the cafe interesting -- one of the Common Grounds cafes that is run by the Twelve Tribes cult. Very hobbit-ish inside and comfy, but one can't help but think that one of the counter attendants is looking at us very strangely. The cafe is on Main Street, which is Route 2. Further up the street we are tantalized by a giant moose in a hideously wonderful golfing outfit. The cameras come out again! Mental note to self to visit this mini golf later in the summer, perhaps.
The drive goes on, AAA Triptik and map in hand (very handy indeed, thank you AAA!), surrounded by sunny trees, clear roads, ridiculously blue sky filled with FLUFFY white clouds. Madness! Summer madness! We are beset on all sides.
In St. Johnsbury, Vermont, we slew off to the side of the road as we are stopped by the amazement incurred by seeing The Farmer's Daughter, a big old "gift barn"(?!) right on Route 2. The huge sign at the side of the road features a buxom blonde in a dress, her skirt hitched up to reveal her bright blue panties. Oh, boy. How could we pass up the opportunity?
The shop itself is pretty cool, with prices for maple syrup that we later find to be the best we run into (swift kick to self for not buying more there). The rafter beams are covered with antique oddities and fun signs, but there is no running water in the barn, hence no restroom. Too bad!
I buy a pint flask of Northern Comfort (ha ha, clever tourist lure in the form of a hipflask of Southern Comfort filled with maple syrup, of course) for $7 and change, and a pennant souvenir of the barn (which doesn't show the sign out front, but that's okay), which is surprisingly cheap, less than a dollar, I think. I've never actually bought a pennant before. This could be the start of something dangerous.
After making friends with the old crazy-looking carved wood bear out front, we move on to our object, the Maple Syrup museum (unfortunately closed on Sundays), home of the World's Largest Maple Syrup Can.
The can is colorful and somehow different than we expect. The gift shop, even though its sign says it is open, is not. We are disappointed and hungry. Thwarted from our task of exploring maple-y wonders of Vermont, we move on to the St. Johnsbury House of Pizza in search of sustenance and restrooms.
We bypass the Fairbanks Museum as time is ticking and daylight slipping. A strange mural catches our eye on another main street. Classical arches and toga-wearing figures stand oddly about on the brick wall. On the second story level of the arches a black cat inspects an urn. At street level one of the figures sports incongrous and fascinating sunglasses. The cameras click and snap. Our next stop is a fun one, spotted on the little ads bordering the House of Pizza's placemats -- Brookside Statuary, Home of the Pink Pig. We can scarcely believe it -- a veritable wonderland of strange statuary, a heathenish mix of gnomes, saints, virgins, frogs, hedgehogs and Christ figures with flames stuck on their heads flanked by fairies.
The owner is gruff but courteous. He doesn't allow photos in the workshop, which broke my heart -- the justaposition of colors and imagery begged desperately to be captured by my lens. But outside was fair game. I walked off with some funny pictures and a dozey little turtle in green-tinted concrete for $15.
The owner finds out we're from Maine and mentions that he'd been to the Spring Flower Show that is held in Scarborough there each March, and wouldn't go back, though they'd asked him. He had won an award, but there had been various offenses by the local vendors that made the trip unpleasant -- petty thievery and comments about him not being from Maine and having no right to be there. It's funny how some very unpleasant people seem to wind up in what seem like they'd be the most pleasant of businesses.
We drove on... and encountered a gigantic beaver in a lumberjack cap, wielding a humongous sandwich at the side of the road in the lot of G&L General Store. Heaven help us!
Many hours after starting, we reached our destination -- Lake George! As we drove down Route 9, we could hardly believe our eyes. A gorgeous lake, fabulous mountains, and to all appearances a good portion of the town was a throwback to the 1950s! Holy cow!!! Starving as we were, we couldn't help being very excited about poking around and seeing what was what. The tail end of Americade (a huge 60,000+ biker rally) lingered on the main drag but was so minimal it was barely noticeable. The neon sign of O'Sullivan's beckoned us. There was an envelope taped to the office door with our key in it for cabin #33, and we wandered down in the fading sunlight to see what our new digs were like. We found our parking spot and a bonafide log cabin waiting for us, complete with yellow bug lights, barkcloth curtains from the 1950s, and a modern kitchen. Wow!
However, our stomachs beckoned, and after a brief flurry of unloading the car and inspecting our rooms, we ran up the hill to see what food the town could offer us. We wound up at Gino and Tony's Italian Eatery, and were pleasantly surprised.

Mr. Wizard, are you looking for a cure? If you find a cure you will be famous. And we can all brag that we knew MTRIV73 before he became a superstarOriginally Posted by mtriv73
Note that I said looking. The best we have on the horizon are vaccines that may protect against some specific strains. Kind of like a flu shot but less effective (isn't that encouraging!) If we find something, I'll let you guys know first though and we can all dress up as Jedi for the interview on the today showOriginally Posted by mm74md
Hey kh, let me know if you have picked up the EBK yet. If you haven't and you were going to wait until tomorrow, you don't have to get it. I went to WM today and they have them down to $9. I didn't get one, incase you had already picked one up for me. But if you haven't picked one up for me yet, then I'll get one from the store here within the next couple of days. Just let me know.
I picked up an extra Utapau clone today and the "walking" version of Darth Vader from Target. They dropped their prices to $6.64.
WM had replenished their pegs, but nothing good. Their prices were at $6.63.
Both places had a couple Sora Bulqs too kh. First time I have seen that one in a looooong time.
Get back at me kh.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Haven't posted in a while (haven't really found anything new until today).
After hitting 4 Targets & over 100 miles this morning, I'm finally caught up. It seemed like today was "restock" day at most of the area Targets. Between the 4 stores I saw at least 6 Utapau Clones, Holo Ki-Adi's, Cmdr Cody's, and most of the others from the Coruscant wave. The only exception being Foul, which I only found 1 of. Only thing I'm lacking now are the UGH figs. Found 3 today, so that's a good start. Wasn't going to collect these, but changed my mind (wife is gonna kill me).
Well, the UGH's have been found in this area...unfortunately not by me though. A couple of guys over at RS have found them and one guy today found and bought 8 of them. Pretty impressive if you ask me. I've gotta get out more so I can get my hands on these.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
GO get one UK, I was gonna get it tomorrow

I'll probably go and pick up the EBK on Monday, maybe it will drop some more by then too. They had plenty so i'm not at all worried that they will sell out in a couple of days. Thanks for the offer though kh, I really do appreciate it.
That's sweet that the UGH have been found in this area but I seriously doubt I will find them any time soon. When I went to Target and WM earlier today they had the pegs pretty full so I can't see them restocking anytime soon. Obviously I'll continue to check them out anyways. What stores were they found at Slick?
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
i went to Mil, PA, FC, and newport news. They were found at Targets. Military Highway, Princess Anne, First Colonial and Newport News. That pi55es me off since I just checked the PA and First Colonial ones yesterday to no avail. At least they were found by a collector and not a scalper (which I think this area surprisingly is lacking. I haven't heard of any scalper rings).
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I found Newport News one time while I was driving, but I was looking for Norfolk. Man, was I ever turned around!
Slicker's mom says hi, by the way.
That's my jacket!


text: Well I finally got my first teal. I killed 2 (should of killed my limit, suckers are quick) but it was nice to finally knock a bird down for Sarge and for him to be able to mark it and make the retrieve. Fun little night except for the amount of mosquito bites I have all over me. I'm gonna get back after them Thursday and Sunday when this cold front is supposed to push thru and hopefully knock a few more down for him.

That's not a tongue! That's a foot!
A Giant Clam (Tridahna gigas)
Student Exploration
Runaway Clam?
This video made a sensation on the internet
But what's really going on here? Well, this is not a happy clam! The "tongue" you see in the video is actually the clams "foot". This is the same body part Gastropods (another class of Mollusk) use to crawl and the part that people eat when the eat clams. It just looks like a tongue. Clams use their foot to dig into sediments and bury themselves. They can also use their foot to move horizontally through the sediments to avoid predators....these are some strong feet! So what is this clam doing? It's trying to get away, it's been left on the counter long enough it is under stress and attempting to use its foot to find some water and sediments to save itself.
Extension Investigation
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Unlike some bivalves (e.g. oysters, scallops, mussels), most clams bury themselves in sediments. How may this lifestyle affect their response to decreasing pH in the worlds oceans?
- How do Giant Clams (Tridacna gigas) benefit from having symbiotic algae in their tissues?
- Not all clams have symbiotic algae, why would symbiotic algae be less useful to clams that bury themselves?
- What other type of microorganism could help buried clams achieve their energy requirements?

Tides for Cedar Key starting with February 23, 2012.
Day High Tide Height Sunrise Moon Time % Moon
/Low Time Feet Sunset Visible
Welcome folks, to this week's confusion, I mean weekly Cedar Key fishing report and forcast.
My fishing week started Wednesday morning. As I entered town, the rain was passing over and things were looking good. My party showed up, some pretty cool new folks from Newberry - Mr. Larry, Mrs. Christie and Trevor. We loaded up and headed north a bit.
Warmer temperatures and lack of snow in parts of North America are setting the stage for what could be a most intriguing 15th annual Great Backyard Bird Count, coming up this weekend.
Bird watchers across the U.S. and Canada are getting ready to tally millions of birds in the annual count coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon, and Canadian partner Bird Studies Canada.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted on Wednesday, Feb. 8, to change how gag grouper is managed in Gulf of Mexico state waters (excluding Monroe County).
The decision, which came during day two of the three-day February Commission meeting, will achieve consistency with federal management efforts while potentially providing a region-specific recreational season in four counties.
Welcome folks to this week's edition of " Wishin I was Fishin".

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Hey Tony -
Are you going to be around Thursday PM or Sunday AM? I'd love to hit the Sky with you. If there's any interest, I'd also like to hit the Cow on Wednesday PM and Thursday AM.
Let me know, and thanks for keeping me all fired up through the season!
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Thought I would attempt to verify my findings last week. I had an afternoon meeting cancelled in our Vancouver Wa HQ. I had a couple of hours to waist and my gear was in my car and the rivers close. I laced up the 7136 with a blaze orange DT and knotted on the brown bomber. I swam the fly over some outstanding looking water with no results other than rising smolt.
The resent rains had thickened the flows and brought enough color to change the way the run fished. I went back through for a second pass to pass time or for fishing over those sunken boulder again? I am not sure. Third cast and I felt a "smolty" bump, then another, and another, suddenly the great white mouth appeared to take my bomber to the depths. I the buck for a couple of seconds before he cartwheeled to freedom, leaving me with the feeling he enjoyed it as much as I had.
Still thinking of the Thompson
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Myth debunked once again.
After a brutal day at the office yesterday I thought I would spend a little time on the Deschutes for the evening. By the time everything was I reconsidered the drive and switched gears to one of those SW WA rivers. I only had enough time for one pass through the run in mind. I parked in the lot and a gear angler was talking with a someone at the back of a trunk. I proceeded throught the ritual of wader dance, strung my rod and was off. I said hello to the angler, who began asking questions about my two hander. Not wanting to be a "snob FFer" I stopped and answered his questions and spoke a while. Turned out the guy in the trunk had been FFing and was just speaking to the gear angler. Doug the FF had just taken two 8-10 fish out of the run I was going to fish. It had been rested about an hour, I thought casting practice (I always need practice). I laced on a purple muddler and began the swing. 20 casts in I got a strong pull near the hang down, I didn't see the head just my fly getting sucked down in a swirl. I went back twice with no results. Being a traditionalist, I laced on a smaller darker fly, a size 6 low water black bear. First pass through the water erupted as buck crushed the BB. 10 minutes later I released a 33x 15 1/2 lightly hued hatchery buck. His crimson cheeks blushing slightly from his error in judgment but alive to be caught again.
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Tony -
What can I say... I am drooling over the "waking pool" and the fish you rose this season. I'm trying hard to finalize my schedule, just found out I will be in Cal third week in Oct. I'll know soon what my schedule will be.
Anyway - my theory on surface flies.
My experience has been that summer fish are most prone to torpedo a surface fly at first light or last light once the caddis pupae line the shoreline stones. This is why each fall I shiver at the thought of skating my caddis patterns through the heads of holding pools, where the most aggresive fish are at first light, and where the antsy ones push to at dusk. Steelhead distinctly move to the shoreline for the night. I have flashlighted steelhead so close to the shore while walking at night that it was astounding and they did not always scream for deep water (depending on how calmly you lit the water). In the morning, when I jump on overhanging rocks to reach the middle of the river steelhead scurry out from under the rocks where I am sure they spent the night.
The first summer I moved out to PNW I drove to the Washougal. It was early summer and the springers were in. Talk about getting a newbie in heat! Also learned they are nearly impossible on a fly, but went upriver and crashed in the car. Woke up at first light near the bridge pool with the one car slot. The entire pool lit up like a springer pool down river but they were all bright steelhead! I will never forget that morning.
It took me a while to get the confidence to fish surface flies but it soon became apparent that (a) these fish are fully aware of what's overhead at all times (b) there is something to the surface fly that reaches down into the fish' psyche and triggers a lunge (c) fall caddis make them drop their guard (d) nothing stains the shorts like a placid steelhead pool when a big steelhead charges your surface fly.
All that being said I once rose a big steelhead from over 6 feet of water at 2 pm on a sunny day, go figure. I also read of guys raising BC steelhead in near freezing temps too. The time of year I do well on top is fall when the caddis are active.
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
I haven't seen much in the way of surface activity from smolts around here. Up in BC, we camped on a big long dry fly pool for several days this year. Smooth water and I don't recall seeing smolts and I didn't hook any smolts. I did hook a few sea-run cutts up there and lately I've been hooking about 1 dolly per trip. I have to say that I am a little skeptical about any direct correlation between steelhead surface activity and insect hatches/smolt activity but I could easily be wrong...
One fish that boiled on a waker this year came up and grabbed something off the surface while I was changing flies - clearly this fish was actively looking at the surface. I later hooked the fish on a small spade fly just subsurface.
Below is a picture of that fish and behind me is that awesome pool. This year has been very good to me!
|October Caddis
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
What a beautiful fish!
Would agree on temps and 50 degrees does seem like the point where fish will come to the surface. What I need to do this year is notice hatch activity below 50 degrees and above. Last October when the Rhonde dropped below 50, about 46 dergrees not much if any surface action, did not notice to much insect activity. But in the same time frame the Snake at 54 and plenty of hatches and rising chinook smolts, plus lots of trash fish rising and action was hot. So maybe the temp is one of the ingrediants that stimulates hatches and make smolts feed on the surface. Are there many hatches on the great floating line rivers of BC? I remember when I lived in the interior of Yellowstone Park the Firehole R. in the middle of winter, 30 below out and size 20 blue wing olive duns floating down river. Water temp 55 degrees at muleshoe bend because of thermal activity.
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
In my opinion, I think 2 things are important about this.
1) Water temperature is SUPER important. I've noticed that on rivers that during mornings, when water tends to be in mid 40's, surface takers are not so common but as the morning/afternoon progresses and the water warms the surface action turns on. I really believe that 50+ degrees F is optimum.
2) Cloud cover and/or water level. Low water is fine but then only morning/evening or all day with cloud cover. Higher water seems to be OK all day.
As an example, Last week I got 4 steelhead one day before noon, 3 on the surface and it was nice cloudy day/drizzly and water temp was 53-54degrees F due to overnight cloud cover. The next morning the water was down to low 40's and I ran through without a touch dry, then put on a wet fly on the dry line and fished it just below the surface and got this fish below. My first fish on a 4wt - note the sz 3/4 battenkill.
|October Caddis
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
I've never let you see, let alone use my fish pellet waker fly have I? Hey, what about the 99% of fish you catch on the Snake, they are all hatchery fish and they look up. Why?
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Excellent food for thought Steve. Personally I think that it has more to do with me leading through the run. Once you stopped following me through the run, you stopped hooking fish. Since I wasn't hooking them at all, I', not sure if that speaks more to my poor fishing or your evident skill.
All kidding aside, good hypothesis. I'm curious to see what the other members have to say. One other variable might be the relative percentage of wild v. hatchery fish in the river. It has always seemed that the nates were more inclined to look up.
|October Caddis
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Some observations as of late on Steelhead taking flies on the surface in Western Washington Rivers. Also would love some comment back if other folks out here have noticed anything similiar.
Last week of August and 1st week of September we had lots of action on the surface with even a five fish to the fly in an hour one day. In this 2 week period there were lots of wild steelhead smolts feeding on the surface, Caddis & small mayflies, Water temp 56 and river low and clear. After the 1st week in September we had lots of rain and river rose almost to flood stage for a couple of days then went down to low water again. Noticed that the Steelhead smolts were few and more than likely went down river to the estuaries. The water temp was still in fifties but surface action slowed way down. You could put 3 people fishing surface though a run and no takes. As soon as I'd put a sinktip on fish on. Just wondering if anyone like me thinks that mature Steelhead react to a surface fly because their younger brethern feed on the surface and stimulate that old habit in them.
We don't have the insect hatch that the eastern part of the state has and over there there are all types of fish feeding on the surface day and night so maybe thats why those steelhead come to the surface so easily.
I've noticed in other years as well that when the surface action of other fish stopped that Steelhead on top was less so also.
Anyone else notice this in Western Washington.
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
I just whipped it up from trial and error to get one that wakes well. There are lots of similar flies and they are all probably just as good. I hooked a fish on the fly below and it straightened the hook, when I bent it back it broke. Here is my best guess at a formula...
HOOK: Light Wire hook like a Partridge Wilson dry 0, Tiemco 7989 or Alec Jackson spey - probably works in sizes 10-?
THREAD: Tan 6/0 or 8/0 Uni Thread
TAG: Small oval silver tinsel
TAIL: Blonde elk
BODY: Dubbed golden seal's fur - sometimes I palmer stiff grizzly hackle up the body.
RIB: Small oval silver tinsel
THROAT: Dark Hungarian partridge or guinea
UNDERWING: Dark mottled brown turkey
WING: Dark elk topped with light elk
HEAD: Leave the butts of the light elk and trim to about 1/8" long or so. I like to stiffen the trimmed ends with some flexcement or something similar
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Not that I'm hungry, but would you forward or post the recipe for the fly in your pic? Looks good!
RE:Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
Nice hen Tony! Seems you're right, some females do like it on top. dOh! If you'll forgive the bad humor, I see you're still very much tuned into the action. Sounds like you are having a banner year.
As far as the Washington fish not being into surface flies... I guess I must have walked through a space portal on my way down the trail when I hooked three summer runs (landed two) in four hours of fishing on riffle hitched caddis surface flies that year right after you told us the run was hot in that stretch.
I guess the time I over-mended a sedge pattern on a dry line with a new Spey rod and it got torpedoed while it was still skipping upstream from the mondo-mend I did - was a fluke.
All those muddler-crazy summer runs hiding in the pocket water on the upper Snoqualmie must be delusional too.
If you ask me this guy just hasn't tried it or doesn't have faith enough to work on it. Heck I even rose a steelhead to the surface in front of my mother once!
I wonder what the guys down on the Wind, Washougal, Kalama, etc have to say about their experiences "on top". Guys like McMillan, Bakke, etc.
Oh well, his loss I guess - you can't raise 'em if you aren't trying. The other factor is time of day, clearly a difference in the way they come to the fly at first light verses when the flyshop opens.
Hope we hook up next month!
Summer Steelhead don't Hit Surface Flies???
I read in another topic that a fly shop joker told Gregg that summer run steelies dont take flies off the surface. That is complete BS. 3 of the fish I hooked last thursday morning (21 sept) certainly do not believe in that notion - these 3 hit wakers. Here is a picture of one of them scanned with the fly that got it. Water temp: 53deg F
One has to be damned careful about what you believe when it comes to advice on steelheading!

Ricketts re-united with Jackett
Sam Ricketts has agreed to join the new Wolves era and be reunited with Head Coach Kenny Jackett after putting pen to paper on a two year deal.
The versatile 31-year-old defender, who enjoyed success under Jackett during a two-year spell at Swansea, has had his contract with Bolton cancelled and after passing a medical at Wolves will now add his experience to what is expected to be a young and vibrant team next season.
Ricketts is a versatile defender who has played in all positions across the back line, and has won 48 caps for Wales.
He is well known to Wolves' Head Coach Kenny Jackett, who plucked him from the non-league and Telford United to join Swansea City in May, 2004.
It was while working under Jackett in South Wales that Ricketts started to forge an impressive reputation, including winning the first of those Welsh caps, qualifying via his Grandmother having been born in Buckinghamshire.
Swansea won promotion from League Two during Ricketts' first season at the club, and only missed out on making it two in succession by losing in the League One play-off final on penalties against Barnsley in the following campaign.
In the summer of 2006 Ricketts joined Hull City, and at the end of his first season helped the Tigers to play-off success against Bristol City which took the club into the Premier League.
He then played a major part as Hull secured their Premier League status the following season, but in the summer of 2009 made the move to Bolton.
During his four years with Bolton he made 114 appearances and scored one goal.
But that goal will be well remembered by Wolves fans, as he returned from a long term injury to score Bolton's Goal of the Season from distance in the 1-1 draw between the two sides on the last day of 2011.
Ricketts, who started his career with Oxford United and has also appeared in central midfield on several occasions, has made 458 career appearances scoring 13 goals.
*Sam's reaction to the move will follow.
