You know, jjj, I started to write that I....respectfully....disagree. But upon further consideration, I'm gonna give you a point. File>import seems to have a certain level of acceptance in our industry. It is by no means universal, though. On that level, anything other would appear alien I suppose. There is a File>import in Phocus, but thus far, it has been greyed out in my use of the program. Perhaps someone has seen it enabled? Or maybe File>import is in place, awaiting activation in Phocus 1.1 for some reason. I'm going to open my perspective and say that seeing files on a cf card in the program show up and not being able to do anything with them without reading the manual has....some merit. Is it a sin? I don't know. Maybe it could be more intuitive. But now that you know, I don't see the big deal. I don't feel it means the program is poorly thought out - hardly the case. And, it's version 1.0. It's a start, and I feel it's a very good start. Some pretty considerable programs that are now considered smooth running machines fared about the same on V1.0 releases.And yes, I did bother to read your post. Since the item you site is not actually missing from the manual, I think it's logical to presume you haven't read it.

I know that anytime anyone says anything lately about hasselblad it's considered a big knock and it comes with a lot of blowback from certain peopleJR[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201061\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The fine distinction that jjj is attempting to make is that the manual details the importing of 3FR files from the original storage device (CF card or Image Bank) into Phocus, but does not specify that 3FR files simply copied to the hard drive also need to be imported into Phocus. To quote jjj... "and as that page of manual is about importing files to your machine [which is what you would expect] from an card/camera/imagebank and does not mention anything about importing images already on your computer, it simply illustrates my point".This is what the manual states in big bold type under the even bigger and bolder header title of IMPORTING CAPTURES... "Imported captures appear in the Thumbnail Browser as 3FR files for browsing. Selected files are then converted and stored as 3F files for editing and export." This is all contained in the large header for the page and is followed in the body with..."To import captures from a camera / CF card reader / ImageBank-II, proceed as follows:". Since hard drive is not in the list, jjj assumes that for some reason the 3FR files that were copied over to the hard drive from the CF card no longer need to be imported into Phocus. He tries to make this appear logical with "that page of manual is about importing files to your machine [which is what you would expect]". The only problem is there is absolutely no logic whatever to his assertion or assumption. Let me explain: 1) Why do you need to "import" "files to your machine" when they have already been copied from the CF card to the hard drive? They don't need to be "imported" to your hard drive if they are already there. So... 2) The Phocus manual is referring to importing compressed 3FR files into Phocus for editing as uncompressed 3F files. No special software is required to copy image files or any other document files to a hard drive. That is an operating system function and anyone with passing familiarity with using a computer knows this. But...3) jjj insists that this "is what you would expect." Well no, I don't think this is what would be expected and I'm surprised that jjj wants us to believe that is what he assumed. Because... 4) jjj is a fan of Lightroom. Lightroom also has an import function. It is used to import images into Lightroom--not to import images to the hard drive. The Lightroom manual chapter on importing starts with "Importing photos into the Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ library is the first step in working with your photos. You can import photos directly from a camera, memory card reader, or other storage device." So... 5) What is the basis for jjj to claim "that page of manual is about importing files to your machine [which is what you would expect]"? The manual says "Phocus will import the selected files and process them into 3F files (thumbnails now lose the 3FR icon), automatically storing them in the selected folder" and "Imported captures appear in the Thumbnail Browser as 3FR files for browsing. Selected files are then converted and stored as 3F files for editing and export". Seems pretty clear to me that "import" in Phocus or Lightroom refer to importing images into the program and not the copying of images to the hard drive.I really don't have any more time available for this now. I don't mind discussing and debating at some length with people that have put forth some effort to learn something about the topic of discussion, but doing it with someone that has glossed over a subject can be pretty tiring and boring.[attachment=7008:attachment] [attachment=7010:attachment][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201067\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Getting 3FR supported with DAC in Adobe might be a sensitive issue to Hasselblad (but isn't this the reasons NDA's are used?) but at least have Phocus/Flex generate DNG's with all options or add the posibility of more integration/automation with PS.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201133\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Ultimately file support is up to Adobe. The problem with DAC corrections and similar proprietary file information (black calibration data for phase, and I believe gain on Leaf?) is not necessarily that the manufacturers will not disclose it, but rather that Adobe does not wish to invest the development time and money for what they see as a small customer base.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201146\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
You are right but at least with the Leaf files you can generate new .Mos files with the gain applied which can be read by ACR. I wish this could be done with Hasselblad's files as well. Generate DNG files with DAC applied for all I care. I also agree this is not the most elegant solution (which would be total support by Adobe) but it is something.Not sure about Phase, I haven't been working long enough with Phase files.On another level. P1 files as well as Leaf files can be read by ACR. These markets are as small as Hasselblads maybe even smaller?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201149\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I second that on Aperture. It was boxy and horrible!Not sure who they left to design and engineer that horrible piece of software.LR & C1 are really my only options at the moment[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=201202\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

I was pleasantly surprised at the weight and construction of this air rifle. After a few dozen rounds of dieseling and random performance while it burned off the heavy shipping oil, it began to settle down and produce .25 inch groups at 40 ft. I cleaned the gun and used sewing machine oil for another round of diesel belches and burps, after this second round of thinner oil burned off I was able to get the same grouping at 60 ft. Not bad for a sub $400 dollar gun. Using my chronograph I was… Read Full Review

Not a patch on a pukka European gun, but worth the 70 quid it cost me in Feb 06 as a birthday present for my 11 yo son. Needs a bit of care initially to tighten it up and needs 500 shots through it to clean up the gun oil in the mechanism.

I have been shooting with this air rifle for about 2 months now, mainly rabbits, and have found it to be one of the best all round rifles that i have used. It has a lot of recoil but as long as you have a good shot you can compensate for it.
The multi shot magazine comes in useful if you need to reload quickly but the gun gives off a loud noise when it is fired. I have fitted a silencer to mine which helps, but does not make that greater difference.
I would recommend this gun for beginners… Read Full Review
Written on: 27/03/2007
If you cut a couple of coils off the spring it reduces the recoil considerably which makes it much nicer to shoot, this does`nt effect the power output much either (I found mine chronoed at 4.5ft lb before and 4ftlb after).

At these `pistol type` power levels I certainly would NOT recommend it for shooting rabbits though!! It`s designed for plinking not hunting.

And let`s face facts those groupings can hardly be described as accurate?!

Have fun though cos as a Backyard Fun Gun it is unquestionably `a Right Good Laugh!!`

Be advised! Due to the Continental Weapons Griffon Bullpup's unique design it would not be out of place in the next "Arnie movie".
I`ve had one for 9 months now and it is great for what it is designed for "Backyard Plinking".
Accuracy is fine (1" groups @ 15yds) if you use a good flat head like RWS R10s and only load 9 or 10 pellets into the mag (to avoid crushing the skirts)
It does have an "anti bear trap mechanism" but holding on to the side lever when changing the magazine is always good… Read Full Review

I just pulled this thing out of the cupboard again and decided to `Play Army` with it again!!

After a bit of Polishing and Greasing I set about it with a hacksaw!! By simply cutting 3 coils off the main spring it has smoothed it out no end.and the gun is much nicer to shoot now.

 The recoil is now `a lot less now` which has helped my groups to tighten up dramatically.

Admittedly the power has dropped to 4ftlbs but `So What` "It`s just for Shooting Cans!!"

A SWAT Red Dot has now been added too; which all helps to enhance the `Tactical Look` of the rifle.

It may be Chinese and even `breaks` occasionally but it`s cheap as chips and dead easy to fix.

I`m well pleased with it.

Continental Weapons Griffon Bullpup 15 shot .177: Hope this review is useful (it's my first one).
I've been using this rifle for about 2 months.
It use a side lever cocking mechanism. Using Gamo Match pellets, it was able to shoot at about 700ft/s. (Tested at shooting range)
I tried different types of pellets, and found the Gamo Match to be the most accurate.
Good points:
It is easy to assemble and to operate.

|Fantastic climbing! Endless fun and interesting moves. Standing on the horn that is just off the second belay will make your head explode! Be sure to take a moment and look around from this unique feature. Near the end of pitch three, to get up a ramp with a roof overhead, I did a "crouched duck-walk" (with hands in the crack at your feet and 200 feet of air below you) that was very fun and rather weird (tall guys will hate it). Thanks for the great route!

This route is tremendous!! We started on the left side for pitch 1, which is a great warmup for the climbing above. The second and third pitches have great exposure and a bunch of fascinating, unusual moves. On the third pitch, the horn, arete, crux, and ramp make for one of the best pitches at the reef.
On the final pitch look for the ramp on the right as you finish the bolted crux. The route heads up and right toward the ramp using gear for protection.
EFR put up the majority of the ground up with the help of patient belayers.

The second pitch is solid .11. The crux is close to the end of the pitch.

|For me the p2 crux is just past the 3rd bolt. If the route is started on 21st century finger crack rather than 20th century flake, it becomes the best 3 consecutive pitches of 11 climbing I have ever been on. Pitch 1 is fun, but 2 and 3 are insane.

|This climb is outstanding! Both starting options are awesome (the finger crack is perhaps a bit better, imo), the second pitch is just pure fun on super steep jugs, and the third is airy with a devious crux. I'm fairly certain that the second pitch could turn almost any sport climber to the dark side. If you're climbing at the grade, get on it!

|This is hardly a trad route, probably 75% bolts with 3-4 small cam placements for each pitch. If I did it again I'd bring singles from 0 C3 to .75 C4 and no nuts. Great route though! It was way more bouldery than I was expecting and the 2nd pitch overhangs like 20 feet!!

|Well Kevin, what would you call it then? Brad, sprad, trort? It sounds like you are saying it is a sport route with a little bit of gear. Then of course it is not a sport route it is a trad route. I have been climbing trad routes with bolts on them my whole life which is why I posted it as a trad route. Perhaps what you were trying to say is that it is a really fun trad route because you don't have to lug 20 lbs. of crap up the cliff. Glad you had fun.

People were getting hurt b/c of the inability to understand the "trad,sport" designation as meaning a mixed climb, so at some point it was decided to call anything with even one placement "trad".

I was talking to my old friend Scott who works at the venerable Jim's Place East, and he said that they were not only moving to East Memphis but also updating the menu. We got to a point in our conversation where I wondered aloud how one would update something like tomato aspic. He said something to the effect of, "How would you update that?" Suddenly, I saw this as a challenge; since everyone remembers eating this tomato jell-o-like substance in the 80's or the 50's, it's now time to bring the aspic back. (Of course, there would be no gelatin involved. I used agar agar, or seaweed powder, from an Asian market instead.)
Easy Tomato Soup (for the eventual aspic)
Roughly chop 5 large tomatoes and cook them down on medium heat. Once they've broken down after about 10 minutes, run them through a food mill when they've cooled. Add a pinch of sea salt, red pepper flakes, and cracked pepper to taste. Microplane a clove of garlic into the mix. (Honestly, if you don't to do this prep., get a can of smooth tomato soup, because that's basically what you're ending up with here anyway.)
Vegetarian Tomato Aspic
2 cups cooked-down tomato soup
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. agar agar
sliced tomatoes
Whisk together these 3 ingredients, making sure there are no lumps, and pour into a silicone muffin tin; add tomato slices on the bottom before you pour. Serve in the middle of a chopped salad of baby romaine, bleu cheese, celery, and top with buttermilk dressing.
Buttermilk Dressing
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 clove of garlic, microplaned
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. mustard
sea salt and cracked pepper
Whisk all ingredients together and chill it in the fridge before using on the salad.

The question 'Are Rottweilers dangerous?' is (sadly) often a 'hot topic'!
In recent years, there has been a lot of attention devoted to dog bite statistics, the vilification of certain so-called 'dangerous dog breeds', the introduction of BSL, and a whole lot of media-induced hysteria and statistical mis-representation.
All of this makes answering the question posed here difficult, and open to misinterpretation.
I've owned Rottweilers for many, many, years (both male and female, old and young), have taken care of and rehomed abandoned Pitbulls & Rotties, and owned a spirited, loving Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
One of my sons owns a stunning male Pitbull who is the darling of the local Pet Resort, and another son has an adorable Staffy pup. These are my 'grand-puppies' and I love them to bits!
This may not make me an 'expert', but I do have a fair amount of experience with so-called 'dangerous dog breeds'.
And what I know is that ALL dog breeds (including the Rottweiler) have the potential to be dangerous, and the key factors in determining whether a dog is going to be aggressive, emotionally unstable, fearful, overly-territorial or sometimes even downright dangerous include -
When one or more of these factors come into play, a dog of ANY BREED may become a potential danger to his family, other people (and other dogs/animals).
First of all, lets get rid of that stereotypical Rottweiler... he is not the snarling, slobbering, vicious brute that is often seen on TV, or in the media.
(Of course, if you're a thief sneaking into my house in the middle of the night, that scary image may be fairly close to the reality that will greet you as you set foot on my carpet.... Rottweilers are after all, a guardian breed!)
However, I digress. To find out what the true Rottweiler temperament, behavior and character should be, you need to look no further than the Rottweiler Breed Standard set by any of the major dog registeries in the US, UK or in this breeds' country of origin - Germany.
Two phrases here spring to mind....
'Good natured, placid in basic disposition and
fond of children. Very devoted, obedient, biddable and eager to work....
self-assured, steady and fearless...'.
ADRK Breed Standard, Germany
'calm, confident and courageous... with a self-assured aloofness'
AKC Breed Standard, United States
'Not nervous, aggressive or vicious'
UK Kennel Club
So, are Rottweilers dangerous dogs? Not by design! Clearly, it isn't an inherent or intended character trait.
Rottweilers were originally used as herding dogs, companions and guardians of livestock and possessions. They were never 'fighting dogs' with a killer instinct.
The indiscriminately aggressive 'attack dog' you are imagining? Just that, a figment of your imagination and most definitely fiction!
Now does all the above mean that Rottweilers are never dangerous? Could anyone add a Rottie to their family and never worry about anyone (or anything) getting hurt?
Of course not! But in reality that is true of any breed of dog, and many other animals that we keep as domestic 'pets'.
Choosing a Rottweiler that is the result of a sensible, well-thought out breeding program is the first step towards making sure that your Rottie is going to be a 'safe' dog.
Training your Rottweiler puppy properly, giving him lots of positive socialization experiences, and of course lots of love, will all ensure that your little guy grows up to fit the true Rottweiler temperament outlined in the section above.
But is that enough to enable us to say that the question 'are Rottweilers dangerous?' has been completely taken care of? No, not at all.
Although Rottweilers aren't inherently dangerous dogs in terms of their attitude, there is still the potential danger posed by any big, strong animal.
Given that a fully grown male Rottie may weigh 125lbs plus, when you put him into any situation involving a small child, elderly or frail adult, or small, fast-moving animal, the potential for DANGER comes over loud and clear.
Rottweilers are loving, goofy and playful.... and totally unaware of their size! My dogs will happily sit 'in' my lap (they don't fit), and if they're focused on chasing their ball and something (or someone) small is in the way, they may run them right over, albeit unintentionally.
Rottweilers also have a tendency to 'lean' against people (a throw-back to their days as cattle drovers), and the weight of an adult dog (or even an adolescent pup) could quite easily knock over a child or light/frail adult.
When asking 'are Rottweilers dangerous?', it's also important to remember that these are working dogs and a guardian breed. They will instinctively protect their home and family if they feel they are threatened. They are also territorial and often don't welcome strangers onto their propery unannounced.
The good news is that they are very discerning in their approach to guarding, and seem to be aware that their mere physical presence (accompanied by a low growl if necessary), are enough to stop most folks in their tracks. True out-and-out aggression is extremely rare in well-bred and properly raised dogs.
For the above reasons, not every home is suited to (or safe for) a Rottweiler. Also, due to their strength and intelligence, they're generally not recommended for first time dog owners.
Many times, Rotties raised from pups around small dogs, cats, chickens etc. do just fine, but introducing a full-grown Rottweiler into a home with a resident chihuahua (for example) should be approached with caution at first!
So again, 'Are Rottweilers dangerous?'..... not in the way many people imagine, or simply because they are of a specific breed. But in certain circumstances or situations there is the potential for danger.
Just Google 'dangerous dogs' and you'll get 71,100,000 hits. Try 'dog bites' and you'll 40,900,000 options appear!
So there's lots of information out there. The bad news is that much of it is way out of date, biased, inaccurate, misinterpreted, or based on politically weighted arguments/studies or media-type hysteria.
As I said earlier, I'm not an expert here, but I did a lot of research on the question of 'are Rottweilers dangerous?' and here are just a few of the interesting things I found out....
So, where are we now? Are Rottweilers dangerous dogs or not?
Again there's no 'clear cut' answer, but there seems to be a lot of different ways to interpret the information available, and many studies contradict each other.
It's important to separate the 'dog bite fatality' figures and statistics, from those relating to 'dog bites in general'. These are two entirely different categories.
If you use some common sense, it's fairly obvious that a bite from a Rottweiler is going to do a lot more damage than a bite from a Dachshund. If you make that several bites (or more than one dog), the Rottweiler attack is clearly more likely to result in a fatality.
So, whether it's a Rottweiler (or a GSD, Pitbull, Chow.....), being higher up the 'fatality statistics list' doesn't mean that they bite more often (and in fact this doesn't seem to be the case), but that they do more damage.
Obtaining information for statistics relies on the reporting of dog bites, or attendance of a victim at a hospital or medical facility for treatment, and I'd guess that there's a huge volume of un-reported bites, or those that don't need urgent medical attention.
These are probably the result of bites by smaller dog breeds (as they do less damage) so perhaps there's a whole 'hidden group', which would mean that the KNOWN statistics aren't a true representation of the situation.
So, what can we take away from here?
To me it has to be that 'Rottweilers have the potential to be dangerous in certain situations'. Not a very snappy answer, but accurate.
Both genetic and environmental factors have to be taken into account, including the dogs' parentage, care, training, socialization, home environment, supervision and a whole lot more.... so you can't judge the entire breed based on the actions of one (or even several) individual dogs.
This is true for ALL breeds, in every area of behavior. MY answer to the question 'Are Rottweilers Dangerous' is this....
'In my opinion, and based on decades of personal experience, I firmly believe that Rottweilers are NOT inherently dangerous dogs.
Each dog is an individual and should be judged on his/her own merits.
With the right breeding and upbringing Rottweilers make wonderful companions and pets, and are loving, loyal, intelligent, intuitive - and goofy dogs!
I would trust my Rotties with my life, and the lives of the people closest to my heart - my children and grandchildren.'
Here are some beautiful Rotties showing off their true nature.... got to love them :)

Triangle Foodie News: Spring brings expanding Raleigh restaurant lineup
Posted February 12, 2016
Updated February 15, 2016
Featured news
Scott Howell and Aubrey Zinaich Howell, owners of Nana's, NanaTaco and Bar Virgile, will open their steakhouse, hopefully next week. Aptly called NanaSteak, it is located on the ground floor of the Aloft Hotel in downtown Durham next to the DPAC.
Wake County restaurant news
The Triangle Business Journal reported this week that Charlotte's Luna's Living Kitchen will take up space in downtown Raleigh's Charter Square. For those not familiar with Luna's, it is an organic, mostly raw restaurant serving plant-based cuisine and cold-pressed juices. No word on an exact date, other than sometime this year.
And speaking of downtown Raleigh's Charter Square, I spoke with b.good's Steve Woodward and he indicated that things continue to progress with their second location and all indications are that they will be open next month. Grand opening plans will be released soon. In the meantime, you can check out their location in North Hills.
The Boylan Bridge Brewpub has closed indefinitely after a wall in the basement collapsed, causing cracks in the outdoor deck's support beams. Initial inspections suggest it is just the deck that is impacted, with the main building unaffected. Owner Andrew Leager hopes to get the main building reopened as soon as possible.
Also in downtown Raleigh, saw on the blog The Raleigh Connoisseur that Raleigh Raw is that much closer to opening up a cafe at 7 West Hargett Street after the successful completion of their Kickstarter campaign. If they are on schedule, they should open later this month when they will offer "healthy grab and go food, local organic coffee, kombucha and smoothies."
Durham, Orange & Chatham county restaurant news
The short-lived Cafe Symmetry space in Carrboro's Carr Mill Mall will not re-open as previously thought. Instead, Younes Sabouh and Emma Dunbar, who have both most recently been at Chapel HIll's City Kitchen, have teamed up to create Tandem, a new locally sourced restaurant specializing in modern American cuisine. Look for an April opening.
The News & Observer reported this week that Chapel Hill's The Bagel Bar will open a second location in downtown Durham at 104 City Hall Plaza, directly across from City Hall. Look for it to be very similar to the Chapel Hill location and they are aiming for an opening sometime in May.
Kudos to craft brewery and Chapel Hill institution, Carolina Brewery, which is celebrating 21 years in the microbrewery business this month! On Friday, as part of that celebration, the brewpub will be giving away limited edition anniversary glasses to the first 500 beer customers at the flagship location in Chapel Hill.
Saw on a Yelp message board that in Durham's Sutton Square, the former Sunset Grille, which became 58Fifty Bistro, has now changed, at least on their Facebook page, to Pale & Porter. The 58Fifty website remains, so we're not sure what all this means.
On a recent visit to Chapel Hill's Tandoor Indian Restaurant with my buddy Omar Zinn, I learned that the Chapel Hill institution had recently changed hands and is now under the guidance of Bhadresh Patel, owner of Biryani House on Chatham Street in Cary. Patel said an infusion of flavor would be the biggest change to the restaurant.
Got word from multiple sources that The Square Rabbit, a 25-year institution in downtown Raleigh, had closed as of this past Saturday.
Thanks to a heads-up from reader Joseph Deem, we learned that Los Potrillos on Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill will close their doors this Saturday, apparently to make way for a hotel.

The 4th Annual Bull City Food & Beer Experience will be held on April 10, but tickets have already gone on sale. Looks like tickets will be available through DPAC again this year and you can visit the DPAC ticket center to avoid service charges.

SAN BERNARDINO >> A multi-agency investigation culminated this week in the arrests of more than a dozen members of a local street gang, authorities said.
Agents reportedly seized several handguns, drugs and thousands of dollars in connection with alleged drug trafficking across state lines.
In July 2012, police intercepted phone calls between a reputed local gang member, identified as Cipriano Allen, and an alleged accomplice discussing a shipment of methamphetamine and marijuana from California to Indianapolis, authorities said.
Later that month, Darrow Clay, identified as the alleged accomplice, sent a text message to Allen with the number of a Green Dot financial card code numbers to pay him for the fronted drugs, according to authorities, who charged the two and 12 others in a federal indictment.
Working off that indictment on Thursday, a state and federal task force arrested more than a dozen reputed members of the Gilbert Street Bloods, a street gang based in San Bernardino. The alleged gang members are charged in a federal indictment with interstate drug trafficking.
Arrests were made in California, Arizona and Indiana, according to Laura Eimiller, spokesman for the FBI's Los Angeles office.
During an investigation by the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms, San Bernardino County Sheriff Department and San Bernardino Police Department, the task force seized about 2.5 pounds of methamphetamine, about a pound of cocaine, 11 handguns and $12,000, according to Eimiller.
The 39-page indictment, submitted by U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. to a Grand Jury last September, outlines a two-month period of alleged drug sales between those charged from June 8 to Sept. 21, 2012.
In conversations recorded in the indictment, the defendants discuss the cost of kilograms of drugs, financial problems, payment methods and locations of transactions, authorities said.
The document paints Allen as the mid-level manager.
He obtained drugs from Erubey Fonseca and Guillermo Leon, among others, and distributed them to other gang members, who sold the drugs to consumers and lower-level dealers, according to the indictment.
Day-by-day conversations in the indictment start on June 8, 2012, when Allen allegedly sells an FBI informant about a quarter pound of meth for $3,200.
During the investigation period, detectives transcribe phone calls and text messages between reputed gang members related to their alleged drug trafficking.
Transactions allegedly occurred at gas stations, fast-food restaurants, parking lots, convenience stores and homes in Fontana, Hesperia and San Bernardino.
At times, the alleged drug dealers became frustrated with late payments, cursing each other in text messages, according to the indictment.
On Aug. 2, 2012, Leon reportedly told Allen via text messages that he needs the money Allen owes him.
"I'm just returning back from mex I need to see u," one reportedly says. Another: "look here we need to have a sit down."
The next day Allen and Leon met at Allen's home in San Bernardino to perform a "narcotics transaction," according to the indictment.
Later, on Aug. 3, Clay allegedly told Allen a second shipment of drugs did not arrive in Indiana. Clay also allegedly said he thought law enforcement was intercepting their text messages.
Allen ordered Clay and others to buy new phones, authorities said.
Nearly two and half years after the drug-dealing conversations allegedly occurred, a number of reputed Gilbert Street Bloods were taken into custody.
In an email, Eimiller said 13 of the 16 people charged in the federal indictment were arrested.
But a copy of the indictment sent by Eimiller listed only 14 defendants.
Eimiller was unable to be reached for follow-up questions.

Video: Kaws's "Companion" Debuts tomorrow at Macy's Thanksgiving Day ParadeNovember 21, 2012
The 86th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade along New York's Central Park goes down tomorrow, meaning plenty of massive balloon characters, custom floats, marching bands, and all things visually and musically loud. This will be the first time since Keith Haring that an artist who began his career in graffiti has contributed to the parade. Brian Donnelly aka Kaws, will have his signature character "Companion" floating high above in the balloon line-up, a unique opportunity for any artist. ARTINFO visited the artist's studio to discuss his preparations and feeling about this particular project.

Another Mississippi High School Discriminates Against LGBT Student
Copiah County School District in Mississippi cut senior Ceara Sturgis completely out of the Wesson Attendance Center 2010 class yearbook after the senior's long battle with school officials to include a photo of her wearing a tuxedo. Ceara is lesbian, something that doesn't bother her classmates: Fellow students nominated her to be prom queen, though she declined because she was concerned about how the administration would react.
Despite student support, it's clear the adults in the Copiah County School District have some problems with Ceara. The class of 2010 yearbook contains not a single mention or picture of Ceara, despite her achievements and good grades. Ceara's name is not even listed.
Ceara and her mother Veronica Rodriguez involved the Mississippi ACLU last year when officials decided not to allow Sturgis' photo to appear in the senior yearbook because she chose to wear a tuxedo instead of a dress. In October, 2009 the ACLU wrote letter demanding officials use Ceara's submitted photo in the yearbook, but Copiah County School District officials refused.
Her mother told the Jackson Free Press:
It's like she's nobody there, even though she's gone to school there for 12 years. They mentioned none of her accolades, even though she's one of the smartest students there with wonderful grades. They've got kids in the book that have been busted for drugs. There's even a picture of one of the seniors who dropped out of school. I don't get it. Ceara is a top student. Why would they do this to her?
Ceara is a lesbian, she stood up for her rights, she involved the ACLU. Mississippi school officials obviously don't like these things, as we've seen from the Constance McMillen case.

Looking back on a career of coaching in Colleton County
By Scott Eisberg
WALTERBORO, S.C. (WCIV) -- Strolling through the annals of football in Colleton County, a quarter century of memories come back to Leroy Riley.
On Wednesday, Riley said he and the school had agreed that he will step down in May of 2012 as head football coach and athletic director.
His Cougar football team has not won a game the past two seasons, but those recent memories certainly won't overshadow his older ones.
"I don't think it ever really came down to wins or losses, but just the enjoyment of what you're doing," Riley said.
Being out in the country, he may not have been in the spotlight as much as his counterparts. But he's certainly built something special, from facilities to faces.
"Former players have gotten in touch to say it really made a difference in their life. Taught them more about life then just football," Riley said. "That has been a really rewarding and touching thing this week to experience."
He is at peace with this spot in Lowcountry football, orchestrating a state title in 1997 and coaching several future NFL players including Darwin Walker and Norman Hand.
Riley is bound to continue making a difference, even if his life is a bit different next fall.
"Little bit of sadness closing out something that's been very special to you, but very much at peace with it -- everything will work out for the best."
Riley says he will now look into pursuing some kind of work in ministry.

NEW York cabs continued.
Murray Hannah at Glasgow deli Berits & Brown tells us: "I jumped into a yellow cab after a night out in Manhattan in the 1990s. Realising I had run out of cigarettes, I leaned forward and innocently asked our driver, 'Where can I get some fags round here?'
"Needless to say, after the screeching sound of tyres I found myself on the pavement. Lost in translation or what."

Hanging on the telephone
TRICKY things these mobile phones. An Edinburgh reader tells us he got a frosty reception when he went home from work and his wife told him their young son had tried to phone him three times and each time a woman had answered his phone, and just who was she?
The puzzled dad asked the young lad what the lady had said.
"Something about it being busy, and please try later," he replied.
Switch off
YOU can't be too careful, it seems. NHS Grampian has launched a website giving advice on sexual health. Due to the graphic nature of some of the advice it has now told its own staff they should not attempt to access the site using an NHS Grampian computer.
Bit between the teeth
WE did the Tesco horse meat gags yesterday. Surprised, though, that there was no mention of the Old Firm, as it usually makes an appearance, no matter what the subject. Worry not. A reader finally phoned to tell us: "Heard that Tesco is interested in sponsoring the SPL for the next couple of seasons because it will be a one-horse race."
OF course, horse meat being served up is nothing new. Jim Hair in Dalry recalls: "My late father used to talk of post-war meat rationing. An enterprising butcher was able to source a supply of horse meat but after a few months one woman noted her husband was sprouting long hair down his back.
"Obviously concerned, he set off to the doctors who prescribed some tablets.
"'Will this stop me growing a mane?' the man asked. 'No,' says the doc, 'but it should stop you doing the toilet in the street.'"
Tune in
WE finally turn the switch off on our change-one-letter-in-a-television-title competition. The final suggestions:

Growing up Catholic, I spent a lot of restless nights pondering some of the more impenetrable parts of church doctrine.
The mystery of the Trinity (one God, three persons) was a tough one to grasp, though I do remember making some headway after watching several hundred of those Certs commercials that heralded the product's intrinsic dual nature ?candy and breath-freshener existing simultaneously in a lozenge not much bigger than a dime.
Of course, we weren't expected to fully comprehend such mysteries, which was only fair since no one else seemed to understand them either. "That's why they call them mysteries," the nuns would tell us. "Sometimes you have to rely on faith."
But relying on faith requires that you have an ample supply to draw on ? and I've been running low on faith for years.
It's hard to have faith in an institution that preaches sexual orientation is grounds for eternal damnation.
It's hard to have faith in an institution (one that supposedly wrote the book on atonement) that handled its sex abuse scandal with such reckless abandon.
It's hard to have faith in a religion that exhibits such hypocrisy and arrogance.
It's hard to have faith in a religion that still views women as second-class citizens ? second-class humans, in fact.
To prove its point, the Vatican brain trust will refer you to the Book of Genesis, where God created Adam ? and then added Eve as an afterthought, an accessory for the male of the species.
It's a story written by a man more than 3,000 ago ? and it's a story that reflects the prevailing attitudes of the time. But a lot has happened over the past 3,000 years, though you'd never know it by most of the church's views.
Over the past couple of years, there have been rumblings in the ranks of Catholic clergy, nuns who voiced their views on issues such as health care for the poor and the ordination of women, priests who proposed that they should be able to marry.
On Holy Thursday of last year, Pope Benedict XVI chastised them and anyone else who might suggest such radical ideas. The pope said the church has received "no authority from the Lord" to even consider such heresy.
I'm hoping with a new pope, the church will upgrade its communication network, modernize its hotline to heaven. I think the system Pope Benedict used was akin to two tin cans connected by a string.
I don't think the Lord views women or gays or the use of contraception the way the church does.
I've been thinking about those restless nights of my childhood lately. I've even done some tossing and turning in recent months, trying to figure out some of the modern mysteries that the church expects us to believe in, even though they don't make sense, even though they're horribly antiquated.
I'm hoping Pope Francis opens the dark corridors of the Vatican and lets in some light. I'm hoping he'll guide the church out of the dark ages and into the 21st century. I'd even settle for a 20th century upgrade.
I'm hoping. But it's hard to have faith that it will happen.

You're not supposed to be able to mix navy blue and black this smoothly. But then again, you're not supposed to be able to cut out the hearts of an entire state for the second year in a row and do it so convincingly that Sneaker News readers old enough to remember 'The Last Shot' would have to admit we expected it. The Air Jordan XIV shows you how to do all of that this holiday season, with a redux of the legendary original rumored to hit store shelves along with this brand new edition in Light Graphite nubuck (notice that the overlay sections are no longer tumbled as in the initial preview images) with black, white and Midnight Navy accents. These offer an interesting twist on the greyed out trend we've seen over the past year or so, but will they ever be mentioned in the same breath as the 'Cool Grey' Air Jordan 11 that helped to fuel this fad? Click through for some additional images, and if you feel the answer to the previous question is 'yes' and/or you just wanna grab yours before they hit retail, hit up Kicks-lab for a limited size run available now.

Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser Reviews

It's okay, but I stopped using itI used this years ago, one bottle. Then I stopped using it. There wasn't anything bad about it. It just didn't stand out as an excellent cleanser.

Could be a little strongerI have oily/combination skin and wear makeup, and this cleanser is a tad ineffective in terms of taking all the grime and buildup off my face at the end of the day. Sometimes I will wash twice and still find traces of makeup on the cotton ball when I apply toner afterwards. Would recommend this for sensitive/dry skins who don't wear a lot of makeup only. — 9 years, 8 months agoModernDayWriter | 205 reviews

Underreporting of Zika is rife; researchers project epidemic's spread
New research from Northeastern professor Alessandro Vespignani finds that the number of reported Zika cases in the U.S. may be just the tip of the iceberg due to widespread underreporting. The study also models the predicted spread of Zika across the Americas through 2017.
What social media data could tell us about the future
Can a flow of information across Twitter signal when a momentous event is about to occur? Northeastern's Alessandro Vespignani and an interdisciplinary group of scientists developed a method to find out. Their findings represent an initial step in constructing models to detect trouble before it's too late.
World-renowned scholars launch Northeastern's Network Science Institute
The Network Science Institute, home of the nation's first doctoral program in network science, brings together an interdisciplinary team of renowned Northeastern scholars to plumb the structure and function of systems and develop intervention strategies to improve the health and security of people around the world.

Who Else Could Make Oklahoma Watchable?
I love Hugh Jackman, and there's never been a single movie he was in that I didn't enjoy, if for no other reason than his presence. It's funny -- my husband is a big fan of the musical "Oklahoma" because he used to watch it with his grandmother growing up. I don't particularly like it... I love musicals, just not that one. BUT recently I found a version starring none other than Hugh Jackman as Curly himself -- now we BOTH love Oklahoma! lol

Washington Senator Patty Murray was in Seattle Friday discussing her legislation aimed at combating military sexual assault.
The latest efforts follow a Department of Defense report which estimates that 26,000 service members experienced unwanted sexual contact in 2012. Only 3,700 cases of assault were reported.
Anglea Arellano reported an assault while serving in the Marine Corps. While stationed in Okinawa, Japan, in the 90's she was raped by a Marine officer after a football game.
Investigators accused Arellano of lying about it and punished her.
"I received two weeks barracks restriction, two weeks extra duty and two months reduced pay," Arellano says. "And the most that he got for what he did was they transferred him off our base to another base in Okinawa."
Senator Murray and others in Congress have introduced legislation to force the Department of Defense to make changes to the system. Murray's bill would increase victims support and prohibit sexual contact between instructors and trainees during basic training and for 30 days after.
It would also require that sexual assault cases be referred to the next level of authority for court marital if there's a conflict of interest in the immediate chain of command.

quote: France or The Netherlands? Which location will be the final resting place for the NCL liner currently laid up in Bremerhaven? French business man Isaac Dahan has jumped the first hurdle in his bid to bring the famous liner back to Honfleur. The State, Basse-Normandie Regional Council, Calvados County Council, the town of Honfluer, the pays dAuge Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Rouen have collectively agreed to finance the 17.5m infrastructural works needed to dock the ship in Honfleur.
According to the local French authorities, Dahan has until the end of this month to come up with the financing to acquire the Norway. Recent reports in the French press say the purchase price for the vessel is $21m. Dahan, who wants to bring the vessel to Honfleur as a tourist attraction/business centre, is not commenting at the moment. If he succeeds, the Norway will be docked at a new 600mtr pier downstream from the Normandie Bridge.
Meanwhile Dutch investor Joop Post, who wants to turn the cruiseship into a hotel and leisure complex in Amsterdam, tells Seatrade Insider the city council has officially announced the project and the proposed water site location.
We are now in a period where anyone wishing to can lodge their objections, informs Post. This process can take about two months. We have the financing in place however we will only purchase the vessel if we get the go ahead for the project from the city council.
Post puts the total cost to buy and turn the Norway into a floating hotel and leisure complex at around 85m. He says it will take around six months to complete the refit (including stripping out the asbestos). We hope to have Norway in Amsterdam by next summer. Ideally in time for Sail Amsterdam 2005 which takes place in late August, says Post.
Post does not know the status of the French bid but says, 'anyone wishing to buy this vessel and position her in Europe as a floating hotel would need to satisfy a whole raft of environmental and legal issues, not just national but EU-related ones too.
Post has plenty of experience in this field. He spent two and a half years attempting to buy the Rembrandt (ex-Rotterdam) and turn her into a floating museum. His bid was unsuccessful but such projects take a lot of time, says Post.
The Norway was built in Saint-Nazaire for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and entered service as the France in 1962. Knut Utstein Kloster bought the mothballed vessel in 1979 and converted it into a cruiseship. After a May 2003 boiler explosion in Miami, the Norway was towed to Bremerhaven. NCL has said the ship will not return to North American operations.

Search For Woman Suspected In Armed Robbery
COLUMBUS, Ohio
Franklin County sheriff's deputies were searching for a woman accused of robbing a Speedway gas station in west Columbus.
It happened around 5:15 Wednesday morning on West Broad Street.
Deputies arrived on scene moments after the clerk tripped the store alarm.
The clerk told investigators that the suspect had a metal object in her pocket.
He said she handed him a note demanding him to put all the money and phones from the store into a bag.
Witnesses said she ran away too quickly to determine whether she was working alone.
Deputies said she was wearing a black coat and a full head and face mask.

The Radeon R9 290 Core Edition Graphics Card from XFX Force is a computer graphics card with Windows software for gamers and other users who require or will benefit from the additional processing power a dedicated GPU can provide. Not only will the GPU help render graphics faster and more effectively, it can also accelerate computationally intensive tasks such as transcoding video when used in conjunction with GPU-aware software and APIs.
This version of the Radeon R9 290 features a 947 MHz GPU that incorporates 2560 stream processors, which not only act as shaders for rendering display graphics, but also allow applications that support parallel processing to perform hundreds of simple computations at once. To move data to and from the GPU as efficiently as possible, the card features 4GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 1250 MHz. Because DDR5 RAM transports data at four words per cycle, the effective memory clock speed works out to 5000 MHz.

SALT LAKE CITY — There is a chance — wishful thinking, perhaps, but a chance nonetheless — that Andrei Kirilenko can return to play late in the Jazz's ongoing NBA playoff series with the Denver Nuggets.
So says Kirilenko, who on Wednesday spoke publicly for the first time since re-straining the left calf that's kept him out most of the past 5 1/2 weeks.
The Jazz previously suggested Kirilenko could be back for second-round play should they beat the Nuggets and advance — their best-of-seven series is tied 1-1 — but Kirilenko suggested there's a slim possibility it could be sooner.
"I'm getting better," the Jazz's usual starting small forward said.
"I'm even trying to aim for, like, probably Game 6, 7," added Kirilenko, who missed 15 of the Jazz's final 17 regular-season games and Games 1 and 2 of the postseason series, turning backup C.J. Miles into Utah's chief defender on Denver All-Star Carmelo Anthony. "Again, it's probably highly unlikely. But, you know, it's a good goal to set up. But I think second round is probably, like, a good time."
Whether anything before the series ends is realistic remains to be seen.
"He really wants to play, and we'll put him through everything we put him through, and it's just going to depend on him," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said Wednesday. "It's a muscle injury, so there's not a definite timetable on it. But we hope he can come back."
On Monday, Kirilenko was in Los Angeles to have fluids drained from the calf and receive platelet-rich plasma therapy, a groundbreaking and increasingly popular but somewhat controversial procedure in which the patient's own blood is drawn and later re-introduced directly into the injured area.
More and more high-profile athletes reportedly have undergone the procedure, including NBA players Brandon Roy of Portland and Denver's Kenyon Martin, golfer Tiger Woods, and NFL players Troy Polamalu and Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I really feel, like lighter, and I don't feel the sharp pain," Kirilenko said when asked how he's feeling since having the treatment. "I didn't work much, but so far I feel, like, very light and very relieved. We'll see (today) when I start to do something.
"I really feel different right now."
Kirilenko — who rushed home from L.A. in time to watch Monday's Game 2 on his own TV, which he said had him "screaming" at the end — will begin work on a stationary bike and an elliptical trainer and do flexion exercises today.
Getting re-injured during a 2-on-2 workout with teammates last Thursday, he suggested, only confirmed the notion he really wasn't ready to return.
An MRI exam revealed a muscle strain in a third different part of the same calf.
"It means I had something, you know, some problems," said Kirilenko, who believes a buildup of fluids, including blood, was causing much of his pain.
"I stepped on it, and got popped," Kirilenko added. "But (the) doctor said it probably popped not the muscle, but because of the fluids there."
Kirilenko hasn't played a complete game since logging 28 minutes in a March 10 win at Detroit, and isn't sure how much he can contribute whenever he actually is ready to return.
"It's always a tough question," he said. "But, you know, I'll try to make everything possible to get in shape as soon as I can run.
"Even, like, (six) days ago, you know, right before it happened in the practice, I was running full speed."

You are going to the most densely populated part of Canada. Geographically, the area is flat so forget any ideas of clear clean cold splashing mountain streams. In fact, the highest mountain in Ontario is about 600 feet high.
Yes....there are a few nice clear lakes north of where you are visiting but in July, the fish don't visit the surface very often because most of these waters have very little oxygen in the upper 20 feet at this time of the year. You will have to go to about the 50th parallel before coming across any decent fishing.
Respectfully...and being a transplanted mountain-man from BC now living in the 'flats' of SW Ontario, only some of what Dabluz is actually true. As i said in my seemingly dismal post, water temperature can be an issue for sure. That said, throughout SW Ontario INCLUDING the most populated area in Canada, several cold water streams actually still exist. Truly, these are diamonds in the rough.
Cold water fishing can be found in SW Ontario...even in the middle of the summer....you just have to know where to look. As in my invite to Linz regarding fishing for mooneye....just upstream of where we will be...are resident rainbows and browns doing quite well thank you very much. Where I also suggested we could go...another river not so far away...is laced with cold water upwelling and hosts resident populations of native brook trout.
YES, its not a rushing mountain stream that you could stoop your head low, cup your hands and drink directly from....but its not all concrete and iron either.
As for fly rodders.....WE are everywhere and with increasing frequency. Granted, during any of the salmonid runs, float and bait rodders dominate the waterways BUT...interspaced throughout...are US. AND, what a great way to spend the day humbling bait rodders as I chuck flies to steels.
Linz, it will be fine. A true fisherman...and only after many years after leaving BC and my wife telling me to get rid of the chip on my shoulder....finds the good in any situation.
We will find waters...we will find fish...cold, cool or warm-water species....and ya know what, they ALL could be in the same waters at the same time able to be hooked on the same pattern, the same drift, the same time of year.

Early in the spring, I was reading through "No More Dreaded Mondays" on a train trip to a speaking gig. I had finished "48 Days to the Work You Love" and I was mulling over the next steps on my life journey. There were several questions and passages that stood out from both books.
In "No More Dreaded Mondays," Dan wrote:
Remember that most of this process is still looking inward. What are your unique gifts? What are you drawn to? What is it that you have enjoyed over the years? What are your recurring dreams? That's where you're likely to find your calling.
I started thinking about my passions, my skills and what I really loved to do. And I asked myself, "What do I know that I could share with others?"
Also, in "48 Days," there was a question and I was mulling over the answer to it:
What service or product could you promote?
Within a short time, I had this burning feeling about a book which was forming in my mind.
A year ago, I took up barefoot water ski competition for the first time in my life. Despite training with the top two World Barefoot Champions, I found myself scrambling to figure out what to do and which tournament to enter first. Some of the information was in one website, other information was scattered in other places. I entered four tournaments that summer. The whole experience was both scary and exhilarating at the same time.
Then an idea came after doing the work from Dan's books:
I need to write a guide which will help other newbie competitors so that all of the information about competition is in one place!
On that train trip, I started writing. By the time I arrived home from the trip, most of the book was written. I published the book "Barefoot Water Skiing, From Weekend Warrior to Competitor," in June of this year. The first edition was only 50 pages, but I quickly doubled it after interviewing past and current competitors.
But here's the good part:
It started with a great update from a guy who entered his first tournament after reading the book. He had been barefooting for years and finally got the courage to compete. He had thought he wasn't good enough, but after reading the book, he drove for hours to ski a tournament in another state and did very well.
Then the tournament director out east sent me a text. Three new guys had skied their first tournament after reading my book. One of them was over the age of 50, the other two were over 65. Which means you're never too old to take your passion to the next level!
And one night, a guy from Mexico reached out on Facebook. He purchased the book and asked me several questions about competition and he connected with the head of the World Barefoot Council. For the first time, Team Mexico competed in the Barefoot Worlds held in Texas last week.
Thanks Dan, for inspiring this book!

Thank you, Lynne! Forward is a great direction to go in!
Karen, what an inspiring story. Just watched your video on your website and I love it! Your story is so unique and your video of you skiing is just amazing. Keep moving forward!
Larry, thank you! Take the inspiration from Dan and move in the direction you want to go in! Blessings to you!
Thanks Dan! I keep remembering those words from your workshop: TAKE ACTION! :)
Karen, Just the pick up I needed. Be Blessed, you are a blessing.
Karen - I love hearing about your story - moving from thinking and dreaming to specific action. Stay Inspired!

On June 18, 2012, a U.S. District Court judge in California dismissed a class action complaint against Taco Bell, holding that a single, confirmatory text does not violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
The named plaintiff, Jason Ibey, provided Taco Bell with his cellphone number to take part in a survey in February of this year. Shortly thereafter, Ibey allegedly changed his mind and sent the word "STOP" to cease communications with the company and Taco Bell responded by sending a text message to confirm that he had opted out of receiving text message notifications.
The following month, Ibey sued Taco Bell for violating the TCPA, alleging that the confirmatory text message constituted an "unsolicited text message" placed via an automatic telephonic dialing system in violation of the TCPA.
U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Huff rejected Ibey's claims, granting Taco Bell's motion to dismiss and giving plaintiff 30 days to amend the complaint. In granting the motion to dismiss, the court held, "To impose liability under the TCPA for a single, confirmatory text message would contravene public policy and the spirit of the statute – prevention of unsolicited telemarketing in a bulk format." In reaching this decision, Judge Huff considered the legislative history of the TCPA and concluded that the purpose of the statute is to prevent unsolicited automated telemarketing and bulk communications. Therefore, the court held the defendant's actions do "not appear to demonstrate an invasion of privacy contemplated by Congress in enacting the TCPA," citing the fact that the plaintiff expressly consented to contact by Taco Bell and even initiated contact with the company.
To read the court's order in Ibey v. Taco Bell Corp., click here.
Why it matters: The motion to dismiss is not the final word in this case, as plaintiffs have already filed a motion for reconsideration. Nevertheless, companies should remember that although text messages are a major part of marketing campaigns, they expose companies to potential liabilities. Facebook, Myspace and Twitter were hit with similar lawsuits over the past year, all of which were withdrawn. Because some jurisdictions, including the Ninth Circuit, consider text messages to fall within the jurisdiction of the TCPA, similar suits are likely. Yet, for the moment, companies can rest assured that a single text sent to confirm a consumer's decision to opt out of receiving text messages will not constitute an unsolicited ad under the TCPA.

I've had this notebook for a couple of months. This morning, I went to turn it on and instead of the reassuring little noise that it usually makes when pressing the power button, there was no noise and nothing happened except for the small windows icon at the bottom of the screen flashing at me. Any advice?
Oops...power supply come loose. (Feeling stupid) Is their a way to mark this as solved?

A blog about genealogy and thoughts about the various roots and branches of my family tree as well as the times in which my ancestors lived.Included are the West, White,and McFarland families.WARNING:DO NOT TAKE ALL OF MY FAMILY RECORDS AS GOSPEL. ALWAYS CONFIRM YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
Friday, September 18, 2009
I took a phone call from a customer who needed a copy of Hawthorne's
House of Seven Gables and after I'd found it for her and I walked back to
the desk, I realized i'd never read the book. This made me wonder if I should
make time to read it now. After all, it's about Salem, where many of my own
ancestors knew Hawthorne's ancestors. Perhaps reading it might give me fresh
insight into my family?
For that matter, should I now reread The Scarlet Letter? Now that gave me
pause. I hadn't particularly cared for that novel when we'd read it in high
school. It wasn't that I disliked the writing style of 19th century literature.
I'd devoured the Cooper novels, and was a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes
stories. I liked Hawthorne's short stories too, as a matter of fact. But
The Scarlet Letter had bored me. A lot.
Of course I'm nearly fifty years older now and more mature...sort of...and it
might very well be that with my adult perspective I might now enjoy both
Hawthorne novels. I'll have to think a bit more about this one.
On another slightly related matter I've run across references to the
genealogy of Edgar Rice Burroughs that seem to show he is a relative
albeit very distant. Now there's somebody whose books I enjoyed reading.
Maybe I'll dig out my old copies of the John Carter of Mars series and
read those!
Too bad he didn't write The Scarlet Letter!

You should go back and read one or both. After I learned that some people believed one of my ancestor's wives was the inspiration for Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter, I went back and read that with a renewed enthusiasm. I'm descended from a different wife. I suspect Hawthorne used persons from all over the north shore -- Lynn, Beverly, Ipswich, etc. -- as inspiration for his stories.

I think rereading those books would be an excellent idea. It's amazing to approach the book from a "reading for pleasure" standpoint rather than being forced to read something. It makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable and will make it much more meaningful. Happy reading!

Now THAT would be interesting...write a summary of Scarlet Letter as if it was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs! It would have a lot more "action" - that's for sure!
