William Dye Sr.
William Dye married Phebe Monteer. Came to Mason Co., KY from Plainsfield NJ with the Shotwell, Morris, Stout, Drake, Arms & Cahill families in 1788. William Dye purchased 300 acres of land in Mason Co., KY May 3, 1793. (Deed book A, page 277, the spelling is William Die).
Family Bible of William Dye and
his wife Phebe Monteer. The Bible record reads:
"William Dye born August 1st [?] 1740
Phebe Monteer born March the 3d 1744
Married January 24th 1762
Children born to the above named
John Dye born November 15th 1762
Joseph Dye born February 6th 1766
William Dye born December 6th 1768
Monteer born Deceember [sic] 12th 1770
Ruth born February 19th 1775
Mary Dye born March 12th 1777
Margaret Dye born December 12 1780
Abigail Dye born February 17th 1785
Eliza Dye born June 2nd 1803"
This Bible is in the possession of David Dye of Millersburg, Kentucky. Eliza is apparently a grandchild, the daughter of Abigail. **Note that Luke Dye is not a son of William and Phebe. He is their grandson, and the son of John Dye who was married to Margaret. My information indicates her name was DeWitt. Luke is the ancestor of David Dye who has the Bible.
As to whether Phebe was a Mount or a Monteer, I cannot say, but their Bible indicates "Monteer".
The following appears on pages 204-205 of Dr. Daniel Drake's book, "Pioneer Life in Kentucky." Dr. Daniel Drake was the son of Isaac Drake, one of three brothers, who were the first settlers of Mayslick, KY. Dr. Drake was 2 1/2 yrs. old when they landed on June 10, 1788 at "The Point," (Maysville). It' not a pretty story, but it's part of the Dye history and therefore I will past it along.
"One of our Jersey neighbors, "old Billy Dye," as he was always called, pushing kind of farmer, also purchased negroes. I was often sent to his house on errands, and one day I reached his door just in time to hear the last blows and groans of a whipping. The slave came out in agony and tears, and the floor was strewn with fragments of the rod, over which he stood in the rage of a demon. On returning home, I related the whole to father, whose blood welled with indignation and he demanded to know if I did not speak out and let the old man have my mind; becoming almost angry with me because I had held my peace. This man had daughters, who brought disgrace on his name, and his two sons, after marrying, died confirmed drunkards; and still his was one of my principal visiting houses, and one of the fashionable places of resort for the young people of the neighborhood." From dates this is believed to be William Dye who married Phebe Mounteer, although William & Phebe had 4 sons, not 2.
The copy of the Will of William Dye appears in the History of Mayesville and Mason County, Kentucky (W. Glenn Clift).
This 13th day of August, 1806, I, William Dye, Senior, of the County of Mason and the State of Kentucky ....... recommendto be burined in a decent manner at the discretion of John Dye, my son, and Miles W. Conway, whom I here appoint my executors .....
I given a bequeath to my beloved wife, Phebe, two negroes, Phillis and Jin, two beds, a hores and saddlle, two cows, tables, size chairs, pot, kettle, frying pan, two smoothing irons and small wheel, also the dwelling house and improvements to go to my son, John Dye. I give and bequeath unto my son, John Dye, 100 acres of land, the other half of the tract. Ilso given and bequeath unto my son, William Dye, Jr. two dollars case. I give, grant and bequeath unto my son William's children, the 100 acres of land that my son William lives on, and it my will and desire that my son William should be the guardian for his children and not the executor. I Give, grant and bequeat unto my daughter, Ruth Glenn, a negro boy named Cuff. I give and bequeat to my daughter, Polly Forman, a negro boy named Orviz. I also give and bequeath to my daughter, Abigail Dye, a negre boy named Dick. Moreover, the balance of my moveable estate to be valued by men that shall be recommended by my executors and appointed by the court to value the estate and their appraisement shall be equally divided bytween my daughters Ruth Glenn, Polly Forman, and Abigail Dye, after deducting what sum of money may be wantingto defray expenses.
WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day and year above written. WITNESSES:

"The will of Phebe Dye, wife of William, Sr. is dated August 27, 1817. It disposes of some negroes and other personal property and several times mentions "my graduaghter, Eliza", this Eliza being the only new heir indicated by name. She must have been a favorite with her grandmother as she is given two or three bequests." Phebe was married to William's brother Kenneth after they were both widowed. Phebe's daughter married Kenneth's son.
Eliza was the illegitimate daughter of William & Phebe's daughter, Abigail Dye. Abigail later married her first cousin, Peter Dye.
The Migration from Middlesex County, New Jersey to Limestone, Mason County
William, John and Kenneth Dye [Laurens (1) > Hans (2) > John Laurens (3) > William (4) , William (5), John (5), Kenneth (5)] sons of William Dye/Dey migrated from Middlesex County, New Jersey to Mason County, Ohio. The time of migration is difficult to determine but could have been as early as 1787 or as late as 1793. Places of birth of many of the grandchildren of William Dye/Dey are unknown.
Joyce Mills' history of the family of William and Margaret Dye/Dey (Volume 3) notes that William, John and Kenneth migrated with members of the Shotwell, Morris, Stout, Drake, Arms, and Cahill families.
Kathy Smith provided some selections from "Pioneer Life In Kentucky" by Daniel Drake (1870). The book by is in the form of letters written to his children over the years. The one that is abstracted below is in a letter to his daughter, Harriet Echo (Mrs. James Parker Campbell).
"My father, Isaac, was the youngest son of Nathaniel Drake & Dorothy Retan (Rattan). My mother, Elizabeth, always called Betsey, was the daughter of (Benjamin) Shotwell and (Elizabeth) Bonney. They were born within three or four miles of each other".
"After the marriage of my parents, about the year 1783, they went to housekeeping near my grandfather Drake's, on his land where the town of Plainfield, (New Jersey), now is". [John and Kenneth Dye were born in Plainfield, New Jersey
"My father and his brothers (Abraham and Cornelius) were not contented with their position, and thought of emigrating. At that time, your native state was the habitation of Indians only, and KY was but 9 years older than myself...The brothers at first thought of moving (to Virginia) [where other Dye's had migrated]; but when two of them, including my father, made a visit there, they hesitated...The Rev. William Wood, (a Baptist minister) who a few years before had emigrated...to Kentucky, came back...and gave such a glowing account of Ky that old Virginia was soon forgotten. The Rev. Mr. Gano, of New York, another Baptist minister, or some of his sons, had visited Ky and his breath of praise still further fanned the flames - till at length the iron ties of affection for home and friends were melted, and a departure was determined upon.".
"There were a number of motives which accounted for this spectacular migration to the West. Land was relatively cheap and an inhabitant of one of the Atlantic states could sell his hundred acres there and acquire, in Kentucky, over a thousand far more fertile ones and have a substantial sum remaining. The desire for adventure or for acquisition of riches in a newly developing territory doubtless played a part. Some there were, probably, who wished to escape prosecution either for debt or crime. Taxes were high in the Seaboard states after the Revolution, and they could be avoided by emigration".
"The decision extended to five families: - the three brothers (Isaac, Abraham, and Cornelius Drake), Mr. David Morris (at times spelled by him, Morriss), older than either of them, who was married to my mother's cousin, and Mr. John Shotwell, rather younger, who was the brother of Mrs. Morris". [Three of John Shotwell's children - John, Nathan and Charlotte Wells Shotwell married three of Kenneth Dye's children - Rachel, Margaret and William Dye]
"The time fixed on for their departure was the latter part of the spring of 1788. Their first point (was) Red Stone Old Fort where Brownsville, (Pennsylvania), now stands. Their mode of travelling was in two horse wagons. The family of my father consisted, after himself and my mother, of myself, about 2 years & 7 months old, my sister Elizabeth, afterwards Mrs. Glenn, an infant at the breast, and my mother's unmarried sister, Lydia, who chose to accompany her into the wilderness, rather than submit to the caprices of a step mother for a longer time". [Two of William Dye's children - Ruth and Mounteer - married Robert and Aisley Glenn (brother and sister). Perhaps Elizabeth Drake Glenn noted above was a member of this or a related family,]
"Behold, then, the departure! these five persons, three of whom were adults, with all their earthly goods crowded into one "Jersey Wagon," to be hauled over the yet steep & rugged Allegheny mountains, and throughout an overland journey of nearly 400 miles by two horses. their travel was by Corryell's Ferry, on the Delaware Coryell's Ferry, now New Hope, Pennsylvania, thanks to Tom Robert Shaw - see above map], and Harris' Ferry, now Harrisburg, (Pa.), which you have visited, on the Susquehanna." New Hope is about 25 miles from Plainfield, New Jersey.
"I know not the length of time we were in reaching Red Stone Old Fort [- see above figure, less than 20 miles south of the Jersey Settlement] and nearly 300 miles from Middlesex County, New Jersey] , nor how long a preparation for the voyage to the "Point" or "Limestone" now Maysville, (Ky), detained us. When I was at or just leaving Mayslick nearly 3 years since, Mr Jasper Morris told me that his father had kept a diary of the journey, which was in his possession, and which I long very much to see. How many families were crowded into one boat, I do not know. The first and last landing (before reaching Limestone) was at Fort Pitt, now Pittsburg. The danger of being attacked by the Indians was too great to justify a landing (between that point and Limestone).
The flotilla, I presume, consisted of several boats, for the Rev. Mr. Gano, with a numerous family, including the present Mrs. Gen. Gano and her brother, Dr. Wm. Goforth, afterwards my preceptor, belonged to the river community. One of Mr. Gano's boats got stoved, but no lives were lost. That which my parents were in met with no accident; and on the 10th of June, 1788, just 64 days after the first settlement of Ohio at Marietta, we landed at Limestone, KY, which then consisted of a few log cabins only, though Washington, 4 miles off, was something of a village...".
Otto Juettner published (1909) a historical and biographical sketch of Daniel Drake. Selected abstracts from his work offer a biographer's view of Daniel Drake.
Daniel Drake's story of Old Billy Dye refers to William Dye who migrated to Mason County, Kentucky, as "our neighbor in Plainfield". This could be interpreted to mean that William did not migrate with the Drake, Morris and Shotwell parties but followed them a few years later. Regardless, this story helps paint a picture of the migrations from New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
It is interesting that John Shotwell, Cornelius Drake, and Jacob Drake inventoried the estate of "Old Billy" Dye.

In a strategic move Yahoo! Inc., along with Canaan Partners, a global early stage venture investor in innovative technology companies, is investing $8.65 million in BharatMatrimony.com Pvt. Ltd, a matrimony service provider with 7.5 million registered members. Both investors will be represented on the board of the company. Veda Corporate Advisors acted as a strategic advisor to the transaction.
Commenting on the development, Murugavel Janakiraman, CEO, BharatMatrimony Group, said, "The global knowledge, partnerships and experience that both these investors bring will help us scale our business globally. The infused capital will be used to further sustain our leadership position in the matrimony sector. The investment will also be used to enhance our portfolio of services and take them to leadership positions in their respective sectors."
Bharat Matrimony, in the last six months or so, has branched out to several fields like ClickJob.com, IndiaProperty.com, IndiaAutomobile.com, IndiaLsit.com, as well as a social venture named BharatBloodBank.com. The Group also plans to significantly expand its presence on ground and will also invest in the global personals space.
As part of its expansion plans, BharatMatrimony expects to double its headcount to 700 by the end of this year. The company also plans to increase the number of BharatMatrimony Centres, its offline initiative, from 38 to over 300 across the country by 2008.
BharatMatrimony has plans to open offices in UK and in key South East Asian markets to cater to the Indian Diaspora and to open up religion / country based matrimony portals.
Alok Mittal, Executive Director-India, Canaan Partners, said, "We are very excited to be an investor in BharatMatrimony. The company is very well positioned to grow rapidly and maintain its leadership in the Indian Internet landscape while continuing to be a highly valuable company from a social standpoint. The company's services truly change the lives of millions of Indians around the world. India is one of the key markets for Canaan Partners and we are looking at creating lasting partnerships in the technology space and generating shareholder wealth over the coming years."
When asked about when Canaan was expecting to break even, Mittal said, "Reaching break even point for such investments would generally be a matter of three to five years. But we are patient investors."
Commenting on Yahoo!'s investment in BharatMatrimony, Susan Decker, Chief Financial Officer, Yahoo! Inc, said, "India is one of the fastest growing Internet markets and our investment in BharatMatrimony furthers Yahoo!'s plans to extend our leading position in the country."
George Zacharias, Managing Director, Yahoo! India, said, "BharatMatrimony Group's strength in matrimonial and other services complements the strong offerings we already provide in the Indian market across communications, search, and mobile. On completion of the investment, Yahoo! India and BharatMatrimony Group will cooperate through a business partnership."
Both Zacharias and Mittal would represent their respective companies on the board of BharatMatrimony. However, neither party was prepared to divulge any details on the break up of the investments made by the companies.

I wasn't sure where to add this, so here will have to do: I think the present design is wrong because we don't have a type for naturals. So in my view, "-1" should be "negate (fromNatural 1)" -- whatever names we use for those two functions. I can't remember right now why the early versions of Haskell didn't have a Natural type, or what makes it difficult to change to now (and I think this is something we really should do), but even given that, I think the present special casing of "-" is a reasonable compromise. Given a built in Natural type, it makes no sense to have "-" as part of the syntax for literals, since Natural literals don't have it and there's no way to add more constructors (ie negative literals) onto an existing type to get Integer, but having a symbol for negate does it in a straightforward way. * ** * For my own taste, I would have "-" as a character that can appear in identifiers and operators (but special in that if it appears at the beginning it cannot be followed by anything? Otherwise -1 would just be an identifier!) and define > - n = negate n > a +- b = a + (- b) but I think that most people would baulk at having to use "+-" for infix minus. People would similarly baulk at the opposite tack of making "-" solely infix and using something else for negate (as in ML), although finding a different token (such as "__") for "don't care" and using "_" for unary minus doesn't seem too bad to me. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn at cl.cam.ac.uk

Chris and Janice Ortwein have hatched a brilliant and oh so fun new happening in Asheville. They host guided walking food tours complete with tastings of some of our cities finest culinary offerings. Sometimes, in the exploration of a new city without guidance and sometimes even with it, one can make a poor dining choice. Take Chris and Janice's Asheville Food Tour and this fate need not be your own.
They have two tour options available:
1. Downtown Tour explores the varied and eclectic dining options in our edgy, art deco collage downtown area. Asheville, in its collaborative total, is honing quite a name for itself in the food and beverage department. From its home made brew, to coffee that would make an angel weep to the most varied, diversified food in the south– Asheville rocks it home! Join the walking food tour downtown and see what all the chatter is about. All of these fine establishments ply you with their best menu selections. During your walk to each of these bastions of culinary delights you are also locating gift shoppes, art galleries, (in every medium the imagination can conjure) and architecture galore you can return to after you have snacked and trolled all the fine restaurants they have included in this fancy fine food tour.
If you have been here a few days already and have had your palate pleased by our downtown master chefs, fear not, there's more to dining in Asheville than our downtown –Gift that it is.
Tour Two: Biltmore Village Tour.
While terms like edgy, gritty, eclectic, electric fit downtown nicely…Biltmore Village has a grace all its own. Galleries, clothing, a feel of days gone by with restaurant fronts out of Dickens will afford you another magic cuisine experience. Chris and Janice have lived in Asheville long enough to select the best and brightest this village has to offer for the food tasting tour of this area.
Chris and Janice were kind enough to allow Gary and I to take this tour so we could experience exactly what guests of our Asheville Bed and Breakfast Inn would be a part of. We had a truly magnificent time. Both tours offer excellent glimpses into the food world of each restaurant we stopped in. All put out their finest wares to woo and it worked. We have eaten at several of these restaurants not fearing we would not really enjoy the food there. We knew we would because we'd already been there.
So, put on your tennies, bring your appetite and Chris will expertly weave you through our finest eateries. Catch the magic of Asheville as the street vendors impress you with their wares and the songs of the street musicians weave their sweet melody into your soul. A good time will be had by all and while you certainly can't shop during the tour….well, there's all that food to walk off, shopping to be done and you might as well know how to get there and of course-Dinner to plan.

A FAMILY have thanked the medics who helped saved their young daughter's life, and the "guardian angel" they believe was looking over her. Ten-month-old Eloise Wilmshurst was medically dead for a full four minutes after she suffered a heart attack following a fit, a rare occurrence in a child her age.
Her parents, Michael and Charlotte Wilmshurst, from Abingdon, feared the worse. It would have been a particularly cruel blow to lose Eloise as the family had lost Eloise's great-grandfather Bryan Spencer days before. But thanks to the quick actions of ambulance crews and doctors at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital , the little girl survived.
Doctors said Eloise is the first baby to have been successfully resuscitated after being brought in by ambulance after a cardiac arrest in five years at the JR.
Her parents believe Mr Wilmshurst's late father may have been watching over Eloise as she fought for her life. Two weeks after the incident, Eloise is now back home with her family, safe and well. The couple had found their otherwise healthy baby girl grey, shaking and with glazed eyes when they checked on her two hours after putting her to bed on August 18.
The little girl had just had febrile convulsions, a type of seizure that is common in children but which Eloise suffered an horrific reaction to.
Yesterday Mrs Wilmshurst said: "We'd had a bad week, as Michael had lost his grandpa on Tuesday. We'd come home from a family barbecue and Eloise seemed fine when we put her to bed around 8.30pm. But when we checked on her later she was completely grey and twitching. We thought she had swallowed something."
A family friend called for an ambulance, but as ambulance technician Kate Ellis and her crewmate Mike Buckland took Eloise to the JR, she began to deteriorate.
Mrs Wilmshurst said: "Just as we pulled in to the hospital, her heart stopped. I went numb. The paramedic picked her up and ran in with her."
Waiting paediatric consultants battled to save the little girl's life with CPR and after "the four worst minutes of her entire life", Mrs Wilmhurst was told her little girl's heart had started to beat again.
Medics later told the 29-year-old it was unheard of for a baby to have a heart attack after a febrile convulsion. Eloise was resuscitated in the same bed and cubicle Mr Spencer had been treated just days before, after suffering a heart attack which proved fatal.
Mrs Wilmshurst said: "We're convinced that he was her guardian angel that night, along with the paramedics and doctors."
Ms Ellis said: "Four cycles of CPR later, baby Eloise's heart started to beat and she was back from the dead."
Mrs Wilmshurst said: "We took Kate some flowers and bubbly, but how do you begin to say thank you to someone for saving your child's life?"

Our pet deer, Murgatroyd, liked Camel cigarettes.
Unlit, of course.
However, Clay Henry, the goat who was the unofficial mayor of Lajitas, Texas, would scarf down any cigarette, lit or unlit, filter or no filter. He was a four-legged suction pump with a bottle of Miller's, also.
I note that deer and goats have dietary similarities...

Bummedhunter, sounds like you are in an area with lots of hunting/poaching pressure full of people who don't know how to shoot or track. If I'm right, your best bet is find another place to hunt.

hogdogs called it right on...
I tried the vanilla thing this year. Scared the deer away from my stand. No more scent BS. All those products mentioned are BS. Never had even one work. I have rattled in a couple deer but that's very spotty and I think you scare them away more then you draw them in. Same with grunt calls. Tinks is junk. So are all the others I've tried. The Scent Lock stuff is BS. I've been deer hunting for almost 50 years now. We got deer "back then" without all this stuff. Let your hunting clothes hang outside for a day or two. Bath without using smelly soap and don't put on smelly deodorant. They make scentfree stuff. Use the wind. No matter how much care you take, if the wind is wrong the old bucks will scent you. Just don't take it personal...

We had deer take out 45 acres of Corn last year, and around the same of beans this year. Food and water source really is all you need. This year we're doing a little cleansing. But corn/beans/wheat. Any source like that will attract them.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me."

I've had buck grub work pretty good. On this one place I was on for a while I had bucks running to it, and I mean running! But that was about 4 years ago..
on the lease I am hunting now the only thing that loves buck crub is cows they literally eat a hole into the ground. So depending on where you live I would give buck grub a try
Other then that plane corn works as good as anything else, if there is not to many acorns on the ground

near my house I have planted apple trees and a fair amount of corn as well as some black berry bushes and a small garden. I recently (last year) all so planted some evergreen bushes and the deer seem to like to feed on them in the winter. In the past I toyed with feeders and mineral blocks but I never had much luck with them, the deer here seem to like "real" food.
Most years I can shoot a deer from my back porch. This last year was the exception. The apples did not do that well this year. I still got a deer but I had to get off my fat butt and hunt it rather than simply harvest it.
I think the apples are the key. The deer bed down in the corn and eat the apples early in the morning and then again right before it gets dark. It all so helps that I have no neighbors and no out door dogs to scare away the deer (and occasional elk). I all so don't shoot near my house unless harvesting an animal or taking care of a pest.
Shot placement is everything! I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull.
all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

Don't ever bother hunting an uncut corn field. Seven feet tall and the deer can hide in there all season. You will not see them. Two years ago the farmers couldn't cut their corn until there was a freeze due to some blight or something (I'm not a farmer). We did not see deer until the last two days of the season because the farmers finally cut it at the end of the week. Those deer just bedded in there, ate their corn cobs, told jokes (about us hunters probably) and had a good old SAFE time.
We hunt a oak tree woods surrounded by marsh and the marsh is surrounded by corn fields. The deer love acorns so it helps. If the corn is cut.

This year the head of our lease (a farmer) is planting feed plots near all our stands with everything deer like to eat. We're trying to make it so the deer don't have to go anywhere else to get there corn, acorns and other goodies. Hope it works.

From limited data I will say it seems the scent blocker eliminators don't work, but putting your scent in the stand all the time does. Take an old dirty shirt and tie it under your stand chair where it won't get too much water.
I will be planting strawberries and blueberries now... WCS I eat them and get a belly full of delicious for my troubles.

Kernel Upgrade Problem.
I'm having a problem upgrading my kernel from 2.6.7-1-k7 to 2.6.8-1-k7.
This is the error message that I get....
My best guess is that there is not enough space in my boot file?
yeah, looks like you don't have enough free space in "/boot". the only solution is te get in there and clean out some unneeded files (old kernels that you don't use any more, etc.). just be careful because a broken /boot will render you with an unbootable system, so make a boot floppy before messing around.
Dunno if I would go removing kernels just yet if I was you. I think maybe firstly you want to have a look at how much space is left on the partition that you have your /boot directory on. Is your whole system on one partition or does your /boot have its own partition. If your system is all on one partition, then start going through maybe your home directory and clean out any old stuff, maybe old emails, music , movies etc, that you may not use any more. Then I suppose its maybe your apt cache thats getting full. You can clean that out as well. Read the apt howto at debian.org. have a bit of a look around and see whats taking up the space, check if its still used/important/needed and go from there.
that's a good point.
use the "df" command to see your disk partitions/mount points and how much space is available.
if you only have your old kernel and this new kernel that you're trying to install, i would suggest not removing the old kernel just yet. when you are ready, remove the old kernel with
apt-get remove kernel-image-<kernel version>-1-<processor architecture>
although, it may be possible that just "/var" is full. if so, you gotta clean that out or use "qtparted" (apt-get install qtparted) to resize the partition.

AC3 /dolby digital
How can I make AC3 / Dolby Digtal recordings do I need Jamin http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/about.html for that.
Is it also possible to record and save as ogg Vorbis 5.1.
Right now Ardour only exports stereo through the export menu. Technically you could bounce to a track to export multichannel IIRC, but there is no method to encode into AC3 in Ardour, you would need an external program for that but Jamin is not it as it is a stereo mastering program.
Ok thanks perhaps you know which external program to use .
AC3 / Dolby Digital is probably a license question .
I think the solution is to export as ogg if that is possible or stereo wav and use audacity to make ac3.
But for me is ogg perfect.
Jamin I can use for audio mastering of stereo input streams.
Sorry I don't know of one off hand, hasn't been something I have had to worry about yet.

Step By Step
If you have ever wondered what sorts of things magazine editors and their buddies do on the weekends, ponder no more. The dedicated Chevy High Performance staff uses those precious weekends to practice what they preach each month. Whether its at a dyno, in an engine-building room, or in the garage, theres continuous Chevrolet tinkering going on.
One recent Saturday morning, we invaded Editor Jeff Smiths backyard and uncovered what happens behind the scenes of CHP. When we arrived on location, the streets were lined with classic Chevys of all models and years. It seemed as if the magazine opened up and we drove right in. While unloading the camera equipment, we were greeted by several of Jeffs friends who where there to help out for the day. Ed Taylor, Chevy High s engine-building wonder, was there to lend a hand, along with Bob Mehlhoff, Kris Shields, Kevin Doyle, Don Swanson, Jim Peterson, Valerye Roberts, Mark Stielo, and Automotive Detailer Frank Saenz. We thought to ourselves, what kind of project could possibly require so many people? As we walked past a few Camaros and around a Rat on the floor, there sat a 66 Chevelle beside an enormous Craftsman toolbox and air compressor. On this particular Saturday, Jeff and his friends were going to have a strip party. The kind of party where a Chevelle loses everything, including its body. During the deconstruction instructions, Jeff mentioned something about steak for lunch. The mention of meat suddenly changed the disassembling crews demeanor into something resembling a pack of wild animals waiting to feast on their Chevelle prey.
When the clock struck 9 a.m., the crew went to work. Every nut, bolt, and washer found its way to a designated bag and tag person as the Chevelle came apart in quick order. By 10, the sheetmetal laid in the grass, and by 11, the engine and interior were gone. As the clock struck noon, lunchtime had arrived and the Chevelle sat completely disassembled. Sharing lunch under the sun with some of your best buddies and a million-piece puzzle Chevelle is what hot rodding is all about.

Sariel (Aramaic: שריאל, Greek: Σαριηλ ,[citation needed] "Prince of God" "God's Prince") is an angel, mainly from Judaic tradition. Other possible versions of his name are Suriel, Suriyel (in some Dead Sea Scrolls translations), Seriel, Sauriel, Surya, Saraqael, Sarakiel, Suruel, Surufel and Sourial.
Sariel is sometimes identified with Metatron. In 1 Enoch, there is a fallen Watcher named Säraquyael (Amharic: ሰራቁያል) and Säräqael (Amharic: ሰረቃኤል) one of the seven holy angels who is "of eternity and trembling". In Kabbalistic lore, he is one of seven angels of the earth. Origen identified Sariel as one of seven angels who are primordial powers. In Gnosticism, Sariel is invoked for his protective powers. He is commemorated in the calendar of the Coptic Orthodox Church on 27 Tubah. 4 month 23 day of the year[citation needed]
In traditional texts[edit]
According to the Book of Enoch, Sariel, also called Azrael (whom God helps, Help of "God"), was one of the leaders of angels who lusted after the daughters of men. They descended to the summit of Mount Hermon, in the days of Jared, to acquire wives and lead men astray.[1] Sariel specifically taught men about the course of the moon.[2] Knibbs' translation of the names of the Book of Enoch says it was Sariel who taught humans the "course of the moon" (the Lunar Calendar). His name is also listed as Arazyal and Asaradel in some 1 Enoch translations,[3] the name being a combination of sa'ar and 'God.' In this same book, Saraqael (communicants of God) is one of the holy angels, who watch over the spirits that sin in the spirit, and Suryal is one of the angels who look upon the bloodshed on Earth, along with Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Uriel.
In the book of 2 Enoch he is listed, with the name of Samuil or Sariel, as one of the angels that brought Enoch to heaven.[3]
The book of War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness, from the Dead Sea Scrolls, lists the name of Sariel (שריאל, Ministry of God, an alternate spelling of Sariel) along with Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel as names to write upon the shields of soldiers in a tower during maneuvers (1QM 9,15). It is used on the shields of the third Tower (1QM 9,16).[4]
The angel Suriyel is briefly mentioned in the Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan as bearing Adam and Eve from the top of a high mountain to the Cave of Treasures.[5]
- "… bring what he had brought, and give it to Adam. And they did so, one by one. 6 And God commanded Suriyel and Salathiel to bear up Adam and Eve, and bring them down from the top of the high mountain, and …" - Bible. O. T. Apocryphal books. English First Book of Adam and Eve.
In the Ladder of Jacob Sariel is dispatched by the Lord to Jacob to explain to him the meaning of the dream about the ladder.
In the Talmud he is said to have taught Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha hygiene.[citation needed] The name Juriel is described as "An angel of the divine face or presence," which is why Sariel might be considered a possible name for Metatron.
Beta Israel writings call him "Suriel the Trumpeter" and "Suriel, the Angel of Death".[citation needed]
The book of Liber Juratus by Honorius of Thebes has a number of translations which lists Saryell as being "the names of the angells of the .8. monthe that is sayde marquesnan" and Saryel as "the names of the angells of the .10. monthe (Tammuz) that is sayde thebeth be these". In a different translation, Sariell is "The names of the angels of the eighth month, which is called marquesnan heshvan" and Sariel as "The names of the angels of the tenth month, which is called Tevet". The month of Heshvan marquesnan would make Sariel's ruler Barfiell, or the month of Tevet would make the ruler Anael.[3]
The Lesser Key of Solomon lists the dukes Asteliel and Gediel as commanding Sariel by night. The book A Dictionary of Angels by Gustav Davidson and The Complete Book of Devils and Demons by Leonard Ashley list Sariel as a fallen angel.
The University of Michigan has a section[clarification needed] devoted to Traditions of Magic in Late Antiquity, Protective Magic, Babylonian Demon Bowls.[dubious ] One clay bowl Seleucia-on-Tigris,[clarification needed] from the 6th or 7th century lists Sariel twice:
- "I wrote all of the curses upon a new bowl of clay and I sent back the curses of those who cursed Negray daughter of Denday to their masters until they release and bless in the name of Sariel the angel and Barakiel the angel and in the name of Sariel and Barakiel you release from the curses of those who curse Negray daughter of Denday as a man is freed from the house of bondage and from the house of weapons amen amen selah"[dubious ]
As an angel of death[edit]
Judaic-Christian texts say Sariel is the angel of death attributed[how?] to the fifth angel Apollyon. Some Enoch translations for Sariel use Arazyal/Araziel/Asaradel which in its English transliteration looks very similar to Azrael. If Azrael is the same as Sariel he is one of the four Islamic angels in conjunction with Mikhail, Djibril, and Israfil. The name Azrael is listed in Muslim and Islamic theology as the angel of death "forever writing in a large book and forever erasing what he writes: what he writes is the birth of man, what he erases is the name of the man at death". We[who?] also see parallels in Rabbinical lore for Sammael, Falasha for Suriel, and Azrael in the Arabic.[citation needed]
As archangel Saraqael[edit]
Sariel is identified[by whom?] with Saraqael, said in the Book of Enoch to be the fifth holy angel, who is set over spirits who sin(s) in the spirit transform into virtue(s) and guide to Repentance and who is concerned with the fate of angels that violate divine law.[6] Before the identification of Sariel/Saraqael as the fifth holy angel, however, the Book of Enoch identifies Sariel as one of the fallen host's "chiefs of tens."[1]

What Is Whaling?
It's a new craze on Vine and it is perfectly named for the Southcoast…so what exactly is it?
I first heard about "whaling" from The FW's Drew Weisholtz and from the Vine videos posted by Drew (you can check them out with the above link), it seems that much like planking and tebowing; this is a trend anyone can do…as long as you don't mind looking silly to strangers.
But I'm pretty sure it's the looking silly to strangers that makes things like whaling so much fun.
You essentially just pop up some sort of counter or throw yourself into the camera's screen shot arching your back and then flopping back down like a whale would emerge from the water and smack back down.
So if you've got a flexible back and a friend to capture your surfacing moment, you too can go whaling pretty much anywhere you'd like.
So with a whaling museum right in our backyards here, I think this trend should really take off on the Southcoast. Will you be whaling?

Boys honor roll
Terra Linda stayed in a first-place tie with Tam at 7-0 after beating San Rafael (112-44) last week and San Marin (109-59) Friday. Nick Bigot, RJ Williams and freshman Lomax Turner were double-winners against the Mustangs.
Tam remained undefeated by topping Redwood, 99-86, on April 4 — handing the Giants their first league loss in a battle of top programs. The Red-tailed Hawks got two wins apiece from Theo Andrews (200-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle) and Sean Haechler (200 medley, 100 butterfly).
Redwood (6-1) bounced back from that loss with a 117-50 win over the Bulldogs on Friday. Yaroslav Kurakin (100 fly, 500 free) was a double-winner, along with University High transfers Emilio deSoma (200 IM, 100 back) and Ed Peterson (200 free, 100 free) who made their debut with the Giants. For the Bulldogs, Aidan Cumming was strong in the 100 breast (59.51) while Ian Chow-Ise won the 50 free and took second in the 100 free.
Marin Catholic (3-4) split two meets, falling to Novato (101-65) on Wednesday and beating Branson (86-61) on Friday. The Wildcats' Matthew Mulkeen swept the 200 free (2:14.57) and 100 free (57.78), while the Bulls' Alex Moody took the 200 IM (2:14.72) and 100 fly (1:00.14). In the Novato meet, the Hornets' Jesse Schmidt was a double-winner.
Drake moved over .500 (4-3) with a 105-72 win over Novato Friday.
Girls honor roll
Marin Catholic (7-0) maintained control of first place with convincing wins over Novato (129-64) and Branson (141-38). Aislinn Dressel (2:14.91 in 200 IM, 5:30.25 in 500 free) and Cali Rauker (24.17 in 50 free, 1:00.26 in 100 back) were double-winners.
Drake (6-1) maintained control of second by barely edging Novato, 87-82.
Redwood (5-2) has rebounded with back-to-back wins, topping Tam (113-72) last week and San Rafael (148-19) Friday to move into a tie for third with Terra Linda. Emma McCarthy and Elizabeth Duncan won two events in each of the victories. McCarthy helped the Giants win a medley relay by a finger nail against Tam, as well as an exciting 100 free race against the Hawks' Miki Dahlke.
The Trojans (5-2) got wins over San Rafael (120-36) and San Marin (128-53). Mia Cunnan and Lizzie Carrade were double-winners and diver Kelly Gehlen got a North Coast Section consideration score.

TUSCALOOSA _ You know it's going to be a long night when the first possession in a road game results in a shot-clock violation.
Think that's bad? How about having more turnovers than baskets?
That wasn't the University of Alabama men's basketball team Wednesday night, which used its stifling defense to lead almost from start to finish at Coleman Coliseum and pull out another impressive victory in Southeastern Conference play, 57-47 victory against South Carolina.
With it, not only did the Crimson Tide improve to 9-0 at home this season (10-6 overall), but more importantly is 2-0 in conference play for the first time since 2002 and tied with LSU atop the SEC West.
"I thought there was a lot of energy from the very beginning," Coach Anthony Grant said. "We knew that South Carolina was a very good team coming off a big win (against Vanderbilt) and that we had to play extremely well.
"As always guys, it starts with the defensive end for us and tonight I thought it was an outstanding effort."
South Carolina (10-5, 1-1) finished with 20 turnovers compared to just 16 field goals made. Not only did the 14 in the first half nearly match its season average (14.7) but it tied the season high set against Radford on Nov. 19.
Overall, the Gamecocks, which coming in were averaging 73.6 points, shot just 28.6 percent (16 of 56), and scored their fewest points in six years. South Carolina was also the fifth straight opponent to be held under 40 percent.
"They're physical," South Carolina coach Darrin Horn said about Alabama. "We set a bad tone for the game. We started out, I don't know, eight turnovers probably during the first 12 possessions."
Although Alabama had 16 turnovers, it came out way ahead in the long run, with an 18-6 edge in points off turnovers.
"It gave us a whole lot of confidence," sophomore forward Tony Mitchell said about the strong defensive start. He ended up recording his third double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds while junior forward JaMychal Green finished with 20 points and nine rebounds.
In his high-profile match up against San Muldrow, Green had five turnovers and the 6-foot-9 forward made six of his team's nine blocks, but Alabama had a 40-18 edge in the paint. Combined with Damontre Harris and Lakeem Jackson and South Carolina's starting three forwards scored just eight points, four by Muldrow, to go with 20 rebounds.
Alabama more than matched that, finishing with a 41-36 edge in rebounds, which left Green prouder of his defensive effort than his offensive numbers.
"Muldrow's had a lot of success with his jump hook and he rolls to his left shoulder," Grant said. "That's something from a scouting standpoint that we keyed on."
Meanwhile, in the matchup of freshman point guards, South Carolina's Bruce Ellington hit a pair of late 3-pointers to help keep his team in the game and finished with 10 points, while Trevor Releford had three points and four rebounds with four turnovers.
However, sophomore reserve Ben Eblen had four steals in just 10 minutes and his only basket was timely, combining with Mitchell's baseline dunk to help Alabama quickly answer the only time South Carolina took the lead at 19-18.
The Crimson Tide also didn't make any 3-pointers, in part because it worked the clock in the second half, and only made three attempts while South Carolina launched 18, making six.
"When you look at the effort our guys gave on the defensive end and were able to come out with a two-point win against a good opponent in this league that's really impressive," Grant said.

LAYTON — Police say a man who ran out of Davis Hospital and onto I-15 where he was hit and killed was reportedly acting unusually prior to being taken to the hospital.
About 3 p.m. Thursday, Syracuse police were called to a disturbance involving James William Flynn, 29. Flynn's father told officers his son "was not acting like himself and his family was concerned about James' safety," according to a statement released Friday afternoon by Syracuse police.
Syracuse police officer Erin Behm said Flynn was reportedly outside of his house yelling. She said he was screaming and making noise more than yelling any words. Flynn was not being violent toward himself or others, Behm said.
"Syracuse police had no reason for an involuntary committment. However, James voluntarily went to the hospital with his family," according to Syracuse police.
The family asked police to follow them to the hospital. The officers went with the family to Davis Hospital and Medical Center, 1600 W. Antelope Drive, and stayed until the evaluation began, according to police.
About 6:15 p.m., Flynn ran out of the building and hospital security chased after him.
A Layton police officer who was at the hospital on an unrelated matter quickly found out what was going on and joined in the pursuit. He reportedly was told that Flynn was in the hospital for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation, said Layton Police Lt. Shawn Horton.
The officer ran out of the hospital and called for backup, Horton said. The officer chased Flynn as he reached a fence and called out to him to stop as he scaled the fence and jumped down to the other side, Horton said.
Flynn then ran across the off-ramp from southbound I-15 and onto Antelope Drive but then kept going and ran into the southbound lanes of I-15. By this time, three Layton officers were chasing after him.
"One of the officers indicated that it looked like he was not trying to get out of the way of cars," Horton said.
Flynn was hit by two vehicles. Officers dragged him back out of traffic and attempted CPR before medical personnel rushed him back to the hospital, where he died.
Utah state court records show that Flynn pleaded guilty in 2009 to attempted drug possession or use, a third-degree felony, and between 2003 and 2010 was convicted of possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanor assault, trespassing and theft.
The accident and investigation closed two lanes of southbound I-15 and delayed traffic for more than two hours Thursday.

Well, as my friends and cohorts are gathering for OSCon, I'm here doing final preps for the packers to come tomorrow. I also just had a final lunch with my friend and Japanese tutor Yukiko. I'll miss her, she's really very nice. She goes back to Japan next month herself.
So, I guess today I will make sure all is set for tomorrow (not like I'd know it was "set" or not), go for a swim, and play some iConquer.
This will also be my last real day online. Tomorrow night through Thurday morning I'll be staying with my mom. Since I have no dialup, I'll effectively be offline until next Sunday when I can set up my network in the apartment.
So, farewell (until next week).

Extinct 30 years ago - the short-haired bumble bee takes to the skies
Michael Parker
31st May 2014
The short haired bumblebee was declared extinct in the UK 30 years ago. But now the species is being re-introduced in the flower-rich meadows and field margins of Kent, writes Michael Parker - helped along by sympathetic local farmers.
When we started we wanted 20-30 hectares of land in which to recreate wildflower habitat, now we have 850 hectares.
A species of bee declared extinct in the UK almost 30 years ago is flying again - thanks in part to the efforts of farmers. Researchers have been restoring the short-haired bumblebee to Romney Marsh and Dungeness over the past three years, and the results are starting to come in.
Nikki Gammans and her team have travelled to Sweden each year since 2012 to collect around 100 queen bees, transport them back to Britain and, after a two week quarantine period, release them into the flower-rich countryside of Kent.
The short-haired bumblebee was once common in Britain and found as far north as Yorkshire, but was last seen in Dungeness in 1986 and has since been declared extinct in the wild in the UK.
Farmers 'key to the project's success'
While the wet summer of 2012 meant the reintroduced bees did not fare well, following last year's warm summer Gammans found worker bees for the first time in more than 25 years. This meant the queens had survived the winter and founded colonies.
"There's lots of early flowering forage for them, so we're hopeful for a good year", Gammans said of the 46 Swedish queens released after being warmed to revive them from hibernation. What's needed is evidence of new queens descended from those released before the population can be said to be getting established.
In addition to the fact that Dungeness and Romney Marsh is designated as a national nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), key to the project's success so far has been the role of nearby farmers, who have planted many hectares of wildflowers in order to ensure the bees have an excellent source of pollen to sustain them.
"One of the biggest problems affecting bumblebees is loss of habitat", Gammans said. "Britain has lost 87% of its wildflower meadows. When we started we wanted 20-30 hectares of land in which to recreate wildflower habitat, now we have 850 hectares."
Wildflowers on field margins
The agri-environmental stewardship schemes run by Natural England under the EU Common Agricultural Policy provide incentives for farmers to improve the biodiversity of their land.
For example, planting hedgerows or leaving wide margins around fields untended allows those areas to become havens for wildflowers, plants and insects, these in turn attract birds and small mammals such as hedgehogs.
Farmers have replanted wildflower meadows and borders where possible and grown hay crops using traditional field-management techniques. "It's been key to our success", Gammans said.
Robert Fowler, a postdoctoral researcher at Sussex University who has studied the role of wildflowers on pollinator health, said this was the most common way to improve fields for bees.
"Seed mixes of wildflowers found to be most beneficial to bees are sown around field margins and left to grow", he said. "Mown just twice a year, this results in a huge abundance of wildflowers such as red clover, common knapweed, field scabius, and eggs and bacon (Lotus Corniculatus)."
Expert pollinators for legume crops
Fowler added that while the data isn't yet assembled that shows a definitive link between environmental schemes and effects on crop pollination, it's been seen that crop fields planted close to habitats rich with bees do see a benefit.
"Short-hairs are excellent pollinators, for peas and beans especially", Gammans said. The species is rare or extinct across much of Europe - except for Sweden where numbers are growing.
"It's great that we're able to give it a second chance here, and use these queens to show that if you replant the flowers they need, the bees can return."
There's more to farming than brute production
Farmer Larry Cooke from nearby MoneyPenny farm had taken part in the environmental stewardship schemes since they were introduced in the early 1980s. "We've got 10m field margins planted with red clover around our fields, adding up to about 28 hectares", he said.
"Everyone else feels they ought to get involved and it has made farming greener. Ten or 15 years ago it was all about production, production, production."
Charles Flower, a wildflower consultant who advocates wildflower replanting, said the extent to which the environmental stewardship schemes had helped the project extend its range was heartening:
"You have to rediscover the old methods of field management. I read about a similar scheme in Lincolnshire that had linked up an area of 1,600 hectares. It shows it's possible to bring back wildlife by using environmental stewardship measures that don't cost an arm and a leg."
And while the scheme, jointly funded by Natural England, the RSPB, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and the charity Hymettus, seems to be working in Dungeness, it could be used further afield, Gammans says.
"We've had interest from Europe in what we're doing, and many bee species are declining in the US, and it could be used there too."

Ignition interlocks have proven effective in preventing intoxicated drivers from starting their car, and now a new system is aiming to do the same for cell-phone users who talk or text behind the wheel.
The system is called Origo, and it requires a driver to secure their phone—facing away from the driver—in a docking station before the car can start. The phone can still connect to Bluetooth and use verbal commands, and it can be charged up while docked. If a driver takes the phone out, an alarm is sounded until the phone is replaced. The next time the driver tries to start the car, they will be unable to do so until an administrator (typically a parent of a teen driver) resets the system.
In addition, if a phone is stolen or lost, a one-time code can be obtained to allow use of the vehicle. If a valet or mechanic needs access to the car, a PIN can be set up for their use.
The cost for the system is $279, plus $150 for installation. Origo has a network of certified installers (which is not yet listed on their website). The company will not warranty a DIY installation.
The device can work with any car, but current can only dock certain smart phones: the Samsung Galaxy S3, and Apple iPhone 4, 4s, and 5. Multiple drivers can use the system, and the administrator can set the phones and codes as needed.
Origo is also available for fleet vehicles with a special package for managers to monitor their drivers' behavior.

A Festivus for the rest of us!
'Secret Snowman,'? 'Season's Greetings,'? 'The Holidays.'? People go to great lengths today to ensure they are referring to anything related to this most wonderful time of the year in a politically correct way. There is now almost a sense of censorship and uneasiness associated with speaking about the holidays. I personally find myself very aware when mentioning anything holiday related. I sometimes find myself even thinking back to past holiday conversations, hoping to not have offended anyone.
The thing is, as careful as I try to be, I usually slip up anyhow, accidentally referring to the Christmas party that I need to make Santa shaped cookies for. Usually, it seems the one who is mortified is me, rather than anyone around me. This got me thinking, is this anguish self-imposed?

Pugettia producta (Randall, 1839)
Common name(s): Shield-backed kelp crab, Northern kelp crab, Kelp crab
|Synonyms: Epialtus productus, Pugettia productus
|Phylum Arthropoda
Subphylum Crustacea
Class Malacostraca
Subclass Eumalacostraca
Superorder Eucarida
Order Decapoda
Suborder Pleocyemata
Infraorder Brachyura (true crabs)
Family Majidae (Now in Family Epialtidae)
|Pugettia producta from Sharpe Cove dock (running from me). Carapace length 6 cm.
|(Photo by: Dave Cowles July 2011)
How to Distinguish from Similar Species: Pugettia gracilis does not grow as large, and its dorsal carapace is rough. Scyra acutifrons has a rounder, rougher carapace. The carapace of Hyas lyratus is wider in front, and is also rougher. Cancer productus is a cancer crab (and has a round carapace and no rostrum)
Geographical Range: Chichagof Island, Alaska to Ascuncion Point, Mexico
Depth Range: Intertidal to 73 m
Habitat: Mostly in kelp beds, either on the bottom or climbing in the kelp (photo). Also common on pilings. Juveniles may be in tidepools or around surfgrass or Fucus.
History: This species
does not decorate itself as much as some other majid crabs
do. It
does have two rows of hooked setae just behind its rostrum, to which it
sometimes attaches algae, etc. The items it attaches may be
food, which it detaches and eats later. This crab eats algae
as Fucus, Macrocystis, Nereocystis,
and red algae. Where algae is scarce they may eat barnacles,
hydroids, and bryozoans. Predators include staghorn sculpins,
cabezon, and sea otter. Velella
velella, the by-the-wind sailor, will readily
capture and eat the
pelagic larvae (zoeae). The species is sometimes parasitized
by the
rhizocephalan sacculinid barnacle Heterosaccus californicus,
causes the crabs to be sluggish and to have a brownish mass (the
parts of the barnacle) protruding from under the abdomen. The crab
only once after being parasitized, and during that molt the barnacle's
reproductive sac pushes out through the surface. The crab's
are damaged or destroyed and males exhibit some female-like
such as a broad abdomen and small claws. He may even become a
and produce eggs as well as sperm. Females seem less affected
than speeding up the development of mature female
This species cannot osmoregulate so it cannot tolerate diluted
The species has a terminal molt, after which the carapace may become
overgrown with barnacles, etc. In the fall adults migrate to
water where they congregate, feed, and mate. Females may be
eggs during most seasons of the year. In southern Puget Sound
could not be found during May, September, and October. Clutch
ranges from 34,000 to 84,000 eggs. Freshly extruded eggs are
orange, maturing to red, and to grayish-purple at hatching.
development may require nearly a year. Note: The
long legs
and claws of these crabs are dextrous and they can cling tenaciously
pinch hard, so be warned.
