Mo. House Democrats Calls for New Ethics Measure
Missouri House Democrats are calling for new ethics legislation after the state Supreme Court rejected much of the most state's most recent version because of how it was approved.
Democrats were planning to introduce a new ethics bill Monday and outline the newly proposed legislation during a news conference at the state Capitol. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon also has called for new ethics legislation.
The ethics law struck down by the Supreme Court in February had included a requirement to publicly report contributions of more than $500 within 48 hours when the Legislature is in session. The law also had allowed the Ethics Commission to investigate without first receiving complaints.

Murdoch: News Corp. Strong, WSJ.com Should be Free
News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch said on Tuesday the company had made a strong start to the second quarter with the global credit market squeeze so far not having much affect on forward advertising.
The media mogul also said he was also planning to boost the numbers of subscribers to the Wall Street Journal's Web site more than tenfold by making access free.
"We are studying it and we expect to make that free, and instead of having 1 million (subscribers) having at least 10-15 million in every corner of the earth," the 76-year-old told a
shareholder meeting in the Australian city where the global media group was founded.
Murdoch said News Corp's film division, its expanding online businesses and its acquisition of the Wall Street Journal would drive future growth.
"So far this quarter, and we are only halfway through, we are going very well and very strongly," he said.
News Corp, which owns the 20th Century Fox movie studio and MySpace Internet social network, expects to close a deal to buy Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones for $5.6
billion next month.
"Digital is the great revolution we are facing," Murdoch declared in announcing he expected to make subscriber-based Web site free.
Pay Walls Disappearing
Murdoch, who said in September he would like to end the WSJ.com subscription fee, has rejected criticism from analysts who have said a free site could be risky because WSJ.com is one of the few news Web sites that attracts paying customers.
Making it free would follow the decision of several other news Web sites to stop charging for some content. The Financial Times Web site now allows readers to get up to 30 articles a
month for free, while The New York Times also stopped charging for access to regular columnists' contributions as well as other articles.
Murdoch reiterated News Corp's Internet division was expected to reap $1 billion in revenues this year.
News Corp last week reaffirmed forecasts for low-teens percentage growth in fiscal 2008 operating profit growth despite a solid first quarter, saying it could face a tough economic climate next year.
"We are running ahead of that but it is too early to change the guidance," Murdoch told the meeting.
More Subprime Shocks
Murdoch, who owns about 30 percent of News Corp, said there had been no impact on forward advertising so far from the subprime mortgage crisis, but warned there could be more shocks
to come.
"I personally think you are going to see quite a few more shocks, particularly in Europe, and they are going to spread around the world," he said.
"We have been through a tremendous amount of loose money and lending and we are going to see that come to roost."
Murdoch said the firm had just completed selling free-to-air television advertising for the U.S. Super Bowl at "quite phenomenal" rates.
He said News Corp's recently launched Fox Business Network hoped to attract 45 million subscribers next year, up from 40 million forecast previously.
Aiming to repeat the success of the Fox News Channel, which unseated CNN as the top cable news network four years after its launch, Fox Business is part of Murdoch's ambitions to build a
global financial media powerhouse in print, the Internet and TV.
He said News Corp's movie studio, a key driver of earnings, was looking good.
"We budgeted to do a little less this year. We have already caught that deficit up. It is very risky to predetermine the outcome of films we release but it is looking extremely good."
Murdoch refused to be drawn on the upcoming Australian election and said he had no current interest in buying an Australian free-to-air television network. He said Ten Network Holdings Ltd, recently up for sale, was overvalued.
Asked when he expected to retire, Murdoch replied with his traditional: "Whenever they carry me out."

Hi Monica. You asked what I do for a living... The answer is quite frankly: "I have fun." Sometimes the fun pays the bills and sometimes the fun IS the bills. Right now I'm having fun growing a chocolate company called "Choklat" in Calgary Alberta.
My passioniate distate for the word "Can't" comes from years of training for competitive sports, and the teachings of my parents - both of which instilled in me the belief that I could do anything I wanted to, provided I was willing to put in the effort and in some cases make the necessary sacrifices to achieve my goal.
I hope that answers your question.
Happy New Year.

Bridge Gallery: Beautifying the Barrio in Juarez
Beautifying the Barrio in Juarez
In May 2010, two artists, an instructor and seven students from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design (RMCAD) braved a trip to Juarez, Mexico, where recent violence has driven out many other missionaries and visitors. They joined Amigos Ministries and hundreds of children from a local school to spend a week cleaning up the ruined streets and making art.
"The students from RMCAD deepened our hope and vision for this neighborhood," said Matt Lindsey of Amigos Ministries. "Their courage to stand with us in Juarez, undaunted by the fear that so many others have surrendered to, has made a bold and electrifying statement."
Amigos Ministries (http://amigosministries.org) helps "build relationships across the border." One of the services they offer in Palo Chino, Juarez, includes operating a kitchen to feed several hundred meals a day to the elementary school students who participated in the art project with the group from RMCAD.
"Creativity is paramount in these dark times," said Misty Lindsey, also of Amigos Ministries. "Those who have been handed an identity of poverty, desperation and hopelessness are trading it in for one of opportunity, life and promise."
The work of these promising students did not end in Juarez, however. The students and artists collected some of the trash and debris left by gangs to create art for a unique exhibition at Denver Seminary's Bridge Gallery. Beautifying the Barrio in Juarez runs July 1 through August 31, in conjunction with Denver's Inaugural Biennial.
The exhibition includes photographs, art created by the children in Juarez and art created by the students and artists from RMCAD. An opening is scheduled for Thursday, July 1st from 4-8pm at the Bridge Gallery, located in the Simpson Leadership Building on Denver Seminary's Campus, 6399 S Santa Fe Dr in Littleton.
Visitors who desire more information or who would like the opportunity to acquire any of the artwork to support Amigos Ministries are encouraged to visit www.mmlindsey.com to view the art and a video and to purchase "Amigos Dollars" which can be used to support the ministry and purchase art from the exhibition.
Artists exhibiting work in the Beautifying the Barrio in Juarez exhibit include Sandy Ceas, curator for Bridge Gallery and teacher at RMCAD; Nikki Pike, instructor at RMCAD; Isaac Karner, artist; seven students from RMCAD; and several elementary aged children from Juarez.

Jack Grubman's Mansion, Estate of the Day
There are only six pictures of this New York City townhouse but they are a very evocative six pictures. This is the home of Jack and LuAnn Grubman. He's the former lead telecom research analyst for Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney and as the New York Observer's Manhattan Transfers column puts it, "a star in its telecom investment banking." Grubman ended up banned from the industry amid a scandal involving shady dealings and had to pay a $15 million fine. He may be counting himself lucky now that he got out in 2001-2002 and isn't a Wall Street player today.
It seems that the he managed to squirrel away plenty of money (he did after all have a $30 million severance package). Grubman's home is a neo-Federal mansion built in 1883. The home is a five-story mansion located steps from Fifth Avenue and the Metropolitan Museum. It has been completely renovated and includes a marble entrance hall, iron and bronze adorned staircase, 13' high ceilings in the living and dining rooms with full-height oak paneling and period plaster moldings, an elevator, and an eat-in chef's kitchen that has a dumb-waiter to the butler's pantry off the dining room. There are two planted terraces as well as an ivy-covered south-facing garden. It is listed at $32 million.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Located in the heart of Times Square, this 460-room Hilton combines the brand's comfort and reliability with more style than the Hilton New York, a better gym than the Marriott Marquis, and more in-room perks -- like a minibar and plush bathrobes -- than most midrange hotels.
A modern, 44-story, 460-room glass tower built in 2000 and camouflaged at street level by the flashing lights of Times Square.
When the Hilton's glass tower opened in 2000, it was styled to compete with the nearby W Times Square, and with its minimalist, dark wood scheme, it's considerably more attractive than most Hilton properties. Unlike the more business-focused Hilton New York, this hotel attracts more leisure travelers, in large part because of its prime location in the heart of Times Square -- New York's primary tourist hub.
The entrance -- amid iconic flashing ads -- can feel a bit chaotic, but the rooms don't begin until the 23rd floor and are far more quiet and serene. (A movie theater and restaurant occupy the building's first 20 stories and have a completely separate entrance.) Elevators on the bright, secure ground level take guests to the 21st-floor sky lobby, which includes the front desk, the Restaurant Above, and Pinnacle Bar.
Concierge services -- ranging from planned shopping trips to theater tickets -- are available, and the service is prompt, attentive, and generally accommodating.
On the whole, the service is professional and very reliable -- like at most Hilton properties the world over. Requests for extra towels or blankets are consistently delivered within minutes. Even elaborate room-service requests -- like a Pepsi with a glass of ice, lemon and lime wedges, and packets of Splenda -- are delivered promptly and accurately.
Dominating famous 42nd Street, among the iconic lights of Times Square, the Hilton is in tourist central. The massive Times Square subway station puts New York at guests' feet.
In Times Square, New York's most popular -- and most crowded -- tourist desitnation, skyscrapers and neon marquees consume every visible lot. Times Sqaure is also New York's primary transport hub, and there are 12 subway lines to virtually anywhere in the city within a half-block of the hotel.
The Theater District and the bulk of Broadway shows are all within walking distance. The city's largest movie theater is within the same structure as the hotel, and it also includes gaming chain Dave and Buster's. Directly across the street, B.B. King Blues Club & Grill hosts some of New York's most popular concerts. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum is another 42nd Street must-see, no more than a stone's throw from the hotel entrance.
The Empire State Building is a 10-minute walk away, and the southern tip of Central Park isn't much farther. Rockefeller Center, with its Top of the Rock observation deck, ice rink, giant Christmas Tree, and Radio City Music Hall, is also less than 10 minutes away by foot.
30 to 90 minutes from three airports.
New York City has three nearby airports: JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark (in New Jersey). Getting into town from JFK or LaGuardia is usually more convenient than from Newark, but travel times are heavily dependent on the time of day and traffic conditions. From JFK, a taxi to anywhere in Manhattan costs a flat rate of $45 and takes around an hour in average conditions. From LaGuardia, a metered cab ride to midtown Manhattan costs about $40 and can take 30 minutes if traffic is light, three times that if it's bad. Rides from Newark cost at least $40 plus tolls and can take more than 90 minutes. It's customary to tip your driver 15 to 25 percent.
Those looking to save some cash can use the privately run shuttle buses that are available at all three airports for about $14 per person. For more information on the shuttles, go to Super Shuttle or New York Airport Service. Public transit is also available for as little as $7 per person, but travel can take up to two hours and involve a lot of lugging bags up and down stairways.
For mass-transit directions right to the hotel, check out HopStop.com.
Clean, bright, modern rooms that start at a huge 330 square feet -- some of the biggest rooms in Times Square.
On its website the hotel touts "the largest standard size rooms in Manhattan," which weigh in at an impressive 330 square feet. For cramped midtown, that really is impressive. By comparison, standard rooms at the W Times Square are about 288 square feet, and rooms at the Westin Times Square are 310. The newly renovated Crowne Plaza may take the cake, however, at 425 square feet.
Rooms sport all the major modern comforts: an ergonomic desk chair, a 37-inch LG flat-screen TV with custom music channels, a clock radio with an MP3 player hook-up (though the hotel didn't seem to have any wires for me to connect my iPod), an electronic safe, a minibar, and plush bathrobes -- more than the nearby Marriott Marquis offers. Internet service is available, but it costs an extra $14 per day.
Rooms start on the 23rd floor, which means that they come with an impressive view of the city and -- at least with the windows closed -- don't get any of the street noise common with most Times Square hotels.
The bathroom is kept clean, and it comes with a spacious marble countertop and, as with most Hiltons, toiletries from La Source by Crabtree & Evelyn.
The large, modern gym is open 24 hours a day, but the business center is pretty tiny.
The Hilton has a free, 24-hour, modern fitness center. The window views from its many cardio machines, all of which have personal video screens, are some of the hotel's best. Unlike at Sheratons -- or at another Hilton New York property, the Waldorf Astoria -- guests can use the fitness facilities for free.
There is plenty of space for meetings and conventions, but the business center is less flattering -- it's basically just a tiny crawl space with two aged computers and two printers. Throw in a couple bunk beds and you'd have submarine sleeping quarters.
Valet parking costs $42 to $52 (depending on vehicle size) for 24 hours.
Pets under 75 pounds are welcome for a onetime $75 fee. But the crowds, concrete, and insanely bright lights of Times Square are not particularly pet-friendly.
The hotel's large, clean rooms are fine for guests traveling with their pets, but the Hilton does not offer additional services like dog walking or in-room treats.
Large rooms, special kids' menus, an on-site movie theater, and plenty of nearby attractions make the Hilton a great choice for families.
Kids stay free in rooms with their parents, and standard and deluxe rooms with two double beds range from 330 to 360 palatial square feet. Rooms can also be connected, and rollaways can be brought in (at $30 per night) to rooms with a king bed. The kids' breakfast buffet at Restaurant Above costs $10 and includes toast, eggs, pancakes, bacon, and juice. There is also a separate kids' menu at dinner.
It's now been about 15 years since the introduction of "New Times Square," where family-friendly chain restaurants (like the Applebees right next door!) and toy stores replaced the peep shows and hustlers.
The neighborhood is safe and appealing for kids, and it just became even more so: In May 2009 the city closed Broadway off to traffic between 42nd and 47th streets, making Times Square even more pedestrian-friendly.
Rooms and common areas are both impressively well kept.
All surfaces, including tabletops, carpets, and bathroom fixtures, were spotless. The dishes from room service looked brand-new, and housekeeping carts made the rounds often enough to take care of any and all in-room needs. The towels weren't stained, the TV wasn't smudgy, and the desk didn't have any evidence that someone had sat there before us.
The lobby's floors and furniture were pristine, and even the bathrooms in the common areas were in tip-top shape.
The hotel's lone restaurant, Above, offers great views but overpriced, mediocre food. Plan to leave the premises for better meals.
The Restaurant Above and Pinnacle Bar are located just beyond the reception and concierge desks in the lobby. Both were virtually empty during and after dinner, which is hardly surprising given the amount of restaurant options in the immediate vicinity.
Given the quality of the food, the menu is a bit overpriced, with a basic breakfast buffet for $26. Although the broad American menu offers enough to please a range of palates, lunch entrees cost around $15 and dinners start at around $25. The views are nice, but there are far better options, for less money, all over New York.
Located in the heart of Times Square, this 460-room Hilton combines the brand's comfort and reliability with more style than the Hilton New York, a better gym than the Marriott Marquis, and more in-room perks -- like a minibar and plush bathrobes -- than most midrange hotels.

Can anybody help?
5 May 2012 at 12:26am
I am new to SilverStripe and have some problems which I have already posted about and some new ones.
How do I add a paypal donate button to a charity site. All the solutions I have found are old and the files don't exist anymore.
I cannot upload pictures (fairly basic thing to want to do), I have downloaded the patch but have no idea where to upload it to.Please can somebody help me?
Re: Can anybody help?
5 May 2012 at 1:26am
Hi Lemonie,
I the "patch" for file upload will require you to edit the files mentioned in it directly on your webserver.
As for the paypal donate button - I advise you to read the paypal docs for soemthing relating to making a simply button and then take that code and place it in your templates. If you need more help on templating please read through the tutorial / documentation.
I am sure that http://www.silverstripe.org/PayPal-donation-widget-2/ would still work with small changes if that, give it a try and post in the widgets sectio if you have any problems
Re: Can anybody help?
5 May 2012 at 3:58am
Hi Swaiba
Thanks for the reply. The contents of the patch are:
Upload.php.patchI am new to this but I can't find and folders of those names in silverstripe?
Re: Can anybody help?
5 May 2012 at 4:32am
Patches are information about changes for SVN and the should contain a relative file path... however since I know what you are tlaking about (having mentioned / used them myself frequently)... take a look at them online...
you'll see "sapphire/filesystem/Upload.php" and some green stuff and some red stuff...
edit the file on the web, select the delete the red stuff and add the green stuff... I'll repeat edit the file... the patch is only useful to you as information not to update anywhere
Re: Can anybody help?
6 May 2012 at 9:11am
I have followed the instructions here ...
but when I upload the Asset/Admin.php I get an error. This is used by a dog rescue and I need to upload many pictures and I need to fix it asap?!
Re: Can anybody help?

Re: Can anybody help?

from that message it looks like you have the wrong patch or you have applied it wrong.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey center Shelden Williams left the Nets' game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night after being poked in the right eye in the second quarter.
Williams walked immediately to the locker room after being fouled by Tyler Hansbrough with 7:44 left in the half and did not return. The team announced before the end of the half that he would not return because of a "right eye injury."
Williams was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for further observation, a team spokesman said without getting more specific about the injury.
Williams had four points and five rebounds before being hurt. His injury left the injury-ravaged Nets with nine players. Guards Jordan Farmar (groin) and Anthony Morrow (shoulder) both missed their second straight game.

A sacrifice fly from Bry Music in the sixth inning proved to be the difference in Delta High School's prep softball game in Rifle on Aug. 29.
Delta took the early lead, 1-0, and added six more runs in the third to take a 7-1 lead to the fourth inning.
Neither team scored in the fourth and Rifle made a serious run at the Lady Panthers with a three-run surge in the fifth to make it 7-4 in favor of Delta.
Music's sac-fly in the sixth gave Delta an 8-4 lead as the game entered the seventh inning. The Lady Bears got serious again in the bottom of the seventh and plated three runs to come up one short in the 8-7 Delta win.
Delta's top hitters included winning pitcher Lily Lockhart. A first-inning home run to center field was one of her two hits and two RBIs in the game. Music also had two hits and two RBIs for the Lady Panthers while Kasha Culver and Nicole Money recorded two hits each in the game for Delta. Raven Duran's lone hit in the game was an RBI double.
Lockhart went seven innings to pick up the win and struck out seven Lady Bears along the way.
Even though Delta had three errors in the game, coach Steve Reiher was pleased with his team's play. "We swung it pretty well and were pretty solid defensively," noted Reiher.
Reiher complimented Lockhart for her performance as a freshman. "Lily pitched well for us. She competed in some real tough situations and made some clutch pitches in crucial points of the game."
Kasha Culver also drew praise from Reiher for some great defensive plays.
The win leaves Delta with a record of 3-1 overall. Rifle fell to 0-3.
Delta's next game (played Palisade on Tuesday, Sept. 3) is in Parachute with Grand Valley on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, Delta is at home with Eagle Valley at 4 p.m.

They had a small outbreak of the Noro virus on the ship so they were cleaning everything, and handing out plates so that they would not be touched by people in the Windjammer. Of course no one can prevent the stupid people on the ship who grab the food with their hands from the buffet. I simply cannot believe that there are people who cannot understand the usage of tongs. But perhaps I hang around smarter people! They also had the hand sanitizers whenever you entered any eating place.
Here are the positives:
1) Cabin and ship was kept quite clean
2) Service in dining rooms, and everywhere else was excellent
3) Food was actually quite good in the Windjammer and in the Seaview Restaurant (I call that place a hidden jewel since not many people know about it) Get the chips and dip which has freshmade Guac! The Fish and chips were mentioned by a British dining table companion as being quite good also. I had a very good Reuben and a very good salad with tuna on top. Nathan's Hot Dog was also great!
4) Chops was Top Notch as usual. Service was great also!
5) Balcony stateroom was actually quite comfortable.
6) Meet and Mingle was great. Won an umbrella which caused the rain to miss us in Halifax (At least I hope so)!
7) Lunch on the last day of the cruise was excellent. They had a salad bar where you chose your ingredients, dressing, and toppings like shrimp, bacon, chicken, etc. It was excellent! The Chicken yakitori was also very good
8) Cruise Director Keith and his staff were "top-notch". He was very good at everything he did, and looked like he enjoyed himself. His staff was also excellent at presenting many options. I was actually very impressed with how well that department was run. I actually won a few things in contests (The Disco trivia, and the James Bond trivia in the casino) Keith is a major star in RC, and should be recognized for his talents!
9) Getting onto the Ship in Boston, and departing the ship was very painless, almost to the point of being too easy. We arrived via car at the port and were on the ship within 15 minutes. Getting off took even less time (less than a 2 minute wait), and the bags were there waiting for us. That was a very positive experience!
10) Room service was great. I got the International cheese plate each night as a bedtime snack, and enjoyed it every night.
1) Our bathroom smelled of foul wastewater most of the cruise. Reported it multiple times, nothing was done.
2) Other minor issues in the stateroom: Chairs on balcony were ripped and not usable, Door lock would not close without slamming, TV issues, etc. Those were fixed.
3) SMOKING! YUCK! It was always smoky smelling on my Balcony, and the putrid smell of cigarette smoke was evident in the Centrum because of the Casino, and other areas where cigarette smoking was allowed. RC needs to get with the times and relegate smoking to one area outside the ship and nowhere else. The Casino smelled of smoke even when nobody was using it. While they may have had specific tables non-smoking, it was not even enforced. Also when three people are spewing their stench at the next table you will be affected by it. It was difficult to traverse the ship without being bombarded with the awful stench of burning tobacco!
4) The food in the Main dining was at best a B/C grade in terms of temperature, and quality. While I understand feeding thousands of people in a short period of time is difficult, they need to improve it. Also the food selection was lacking. It was mentioned that it felt like we were at a wedding banquet!
5) The casino slots are quite able to take your money and give nothing in return. At least they cannot modify the odds of the table games.
6) The Internet service costs too much money. I know they have a captive audience and can get it, but the prices of 65 cents a minute is just too much. They need to have a more competitive pricing program like $100 for the length of the cruise no matter how much you use it.
7) The crowds at the 11PM buffet were overwhelming, to the point of the line extending out the hallway. I gave up after 10 minutes!
All in All, it was a good but not great cruise.

Ranked among the top neuroscience programs by U.S. News & World Report
Duke offers a multidisciplinary approach to treating the symptoms and causes of epilepsy.
Our doctors are experts at the medical management of epilepsy and our position as a leading academic research institute gives patients the opportunity to receive new and innovative therapies and medications to control their symptoms.
When adequate trials of anti-convulsant medications do not prevent seizures, the next step is to perform a comprehensive evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and explore whether or not surgical treatment may help the seizures resolve.
Our multidisciplinary team of experts meets to discuss each patient's history and test results in detail to determine what options might be available.
Patients who are found to be good candidates for surgical treatment of epilepsy may have up to an 85 percent chance of becoming seizure free after surgery, depending on the specific test results and type of seizures. This is compared to patients who only take medication, which yields a less than 5 percent chance of becoming seizure free.
Our surgical approach to epilepsy has alleviated seizures in many patients, with few complications.
Surgical procedures commonly performed at Duke include:
To provide the very best in epilepsy care, Duke is active in both basic and clinical research, and we participate in a variety of ongoing clinical drug trials.

Reply | Edit | Del All 1853 Enfield Glad to be here!
Thanks for the welcome! I am new to this era, mostly WWII Carbines and Mausers. I got this rifle from my GGG Grandfather....through the demise of the previous GFs, and I am trying to figure it out. It a Crown then ahead of the hammer it has tower 1862. on the opp. side it has a proof mark 25 proofmark 25 proofmark. Aft the trigger guard on the bottom it has a cartouche of some sort 1/4" wide and bout 1 1/4" long. Its there but I just cant make it out. I dont know what it could be, and that makes it rough, but it is evident, just unintelligable to me. The bayonet has just a few marks and has the scabbard with it. They lived in PA so it must have been union as there is no CSA anywhere on it. As I mentioned it has a springfield rod, and I want an original enfield. Any help on being able to furthure ID this 3 band and leeds on an original ram rod would be appreciated. Also if someone knows of an expert in the Cleveland OH area that might help would be great! Have a good day all! Chris

Reply | Edit | Del Re: 1853 Enfield Glad to be here!
The 3 band Enfields were purchased, imported and used by both sides early in the war, and the same .58 cal paper cartridges were used in both the Springfield and the Enfields, even though the Enfield is nominally .577. I'm not surprised it has the Springfield ramrod, as they were interchangeable, and once an original Enfield rod was broken, they wouldn't get replacements, especially when so many Springfields were "laying around."
I don't think the Springfield Rod would detract from any value, if it is in fact from the same period.
It STILL may have been a CSA, maybe a battlefield pick-up, tough to ascertain, but then again, I don't know what happened to the Union ones after most troops were reequipped with Springfields when enough became available later, like '63. Maybe given to State troops and militias? Sold or given to the public? The CSA used it until the end of the war, although as the blockade tightened, less and less came in and more and more rebels were armed with captured Springfields, as well as domestic production. Some Enfield copies were made in the south during the war also.
You could probably find out more about the rifle by researching your family tree and trying to find out where exactly you GGF lived, what unit he fought with, etc. You may find it was a "Battlefield Pickup," there were tens of thousands of all types of guns just laying around after Gettysburg alone, that "disappeared." Maybe it's one of those.
I don't think you'll find many original Enfield rods easily...
Good luck! And for God sakes do NOT sell the rifle!!!!
It is a true collector's piece for sure, you could get a hefty price if it's verified, BUT it has YOUR family history wrapped up in it too, which is priceless, but worth only to you.
If you sold it, it loses THAT value forever....

TD.....Polish is absolutely right. Do as much research on your GGF as possible. If you can establish that he served in the Civil War and used this rifle, wouldn't that be great?
If you'd like lots of neat info on the '53 Enfield, scroll to the bottom of the page and type "1853 Enfield Rifle" in "Google".
Good luck.......

Just for your info, the US purchased like 450,000 Enfields from 1861-1865, and about 670,000 Springfields in the same period.
This from the Dixie reference section, and it tells me just maybe Union forces MAY have carried them the entire war, and not turned them in for Springfields, like I said earlier.
How many Springfield/Enfield barrels do you think it took to make the fence around US Grant's House in St.Louis after the war?

I'm talking about Grant's Farm, Augie Busch's place now, that you can tour for free AND get some free Bud for doing it! Least you could when we went about 5 years ago.
The house I think is the one he built AFTER he left the presidency to retire in, he was the last President to build his own house, Jimmy Carter and Habitat, notwithstanding.
You take a tour and see it, and one of the things that impressed me was the wrought iron fence made from rifle barrels, and the Gatling in front of the house on display...

Somalia, 28 Oct 10
As part of UN-HABITAT's urban management initiatives in the Somali region, a workshop was conducted in April 2010 in the town of Sheikh to discuss urban planning activities required for the district and the wider region.
The UN-HABITAT and Sheikh Council publication Sheikh: First Steps towards Strategic Urban Planning (completed at the end of the Urban Development Programme for the Somali region) was also explored with participants.
Sheikh is a pilot area − along with Hargeisa − for UN-HABITAT's continued support to municipalities towards gaining a better understanding of urban spatial planning as a tool to guide local development efforts. Participants included the mayor, vice-mayor, district councillors, district office staff, and representatives from community groups and non-governmental organizations. On the second day, the focus was on the city's vision for 2015. The finalized vision articulated hopes for better services and increased prominence in the region.
The workshop agreed on the following as the key issues for district development:
After the workshop, copies of Sheikh: First Steps towards Strategic Urban Planning were officially handed over to the mayor. This publication series provides basic guidelines for district-level spatial planning, while long-term technical backstopping to Somaliland districts in urban planning issues is underway within the set-up of the Land and Urban Management Institute.

The county government's competition with local private enterprise became an issue Monday when the BoCC approved its first gravel pit Specific Development application in two years.
Two million cubic yards of gravel from the Cook Pit on 25 Mesa Road will be used on the county's own projects.
The county has a signed contract to purchase two, 80-acre parcels for its gravel and the BoCC's Specific Development approval is one of several contingencies in the sales contract, confirmed county administrator Robbie LeValley. She added that not all the contingencies had been fulfilled as of Monday.
Two other recent Specific Development applications from private individuals for gravel pit operations, one on California Mesa and the other at Crawford, have been denied by the BoCC.
Those applications denied by the BoCC had been recommended for approval by the Delta County Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended denial for the 25 Mesa Road that was approved on Monday.
The merry-go-round of approval and denial has left nearby residents of the 25 Mesa Road pit asking what the county policy is trying to accomplish.
The commissioners two previous denials were based substantially on opposition from neighbors. Commissioner Bruce Hovde noted that fact in remarks just prior to Monday's vote. There were neighbors who spoke out against the 25 Mesa Road pit also: Bill Yanish, Gary Haynes, and Susan Yanish.
In addition, the county Planning Commission's chairman Mike Twamley objected to the way that the planning staff had handled the application process. And, Hans Benson who is in the gravel business here pointed out the anti-private enterprise aspects of the BoCC's decision processes.
Twamley's criticism of the planning staff points to a pre-conceived decision by county officials to approve the 25 Road pit application. "We (county planning commission members) were told (by planning staff), 'This is a county project and what the public says doesn't matter,'" Twamley told the BoCC on Monday.
He also criticized a lack of information given to the planning commission on the application, and he said that the county's own rules were broken when the 25 Road property was not physically posted as required.
Neighbors Bill Yanish and Gary Hayner backed Twamley up on the county's posting failure.
Hayner said that a "little" sign was put up, and later a bigger one "when the county got caught." Yanish said the bigger sign was simply taped to a strand of barbed wire and blew away within 24 hours. Property in the county under review for subdivision or specific development are routinely posted with plackard-sized notices, sometimes mounted on stakes driven into the ground.
No one from the county staff denied the charge nor offered any explanation for the posting procedure that was used.
Hayner also told the BoCC that winds in the area will make the county's dust reduction measures meaningless. The composition of airborne dust form the site is unknown. "Not knowing what's in that hill (before excavating) is unacceptable," Hayner said. The dust will also wreck his dog training business, he said.
Yanish agreed with Hayner on the wind and dust problem. It will be a threat to his 11 year-old son who has asthma and walks 200 yards home from his school bus stop.
Yanish's mother, Susan, said the dust, traffic and noise "will totally devastate our family. The county shouldn't be in the gravel business."
Benson, a gravel crusher operator in his family's business, cited the county's own budget figures showing commissioners that government competition with local private enterprise is on an uneven and unfair footing.
"You turn the private gravel pits down and then you want your own pit. Doing it cheaper than private enterprise is the only reason you want to," Benson said. But then, quoting form the county's own budget, he questioned the county's cost accounting for its gravel and operations – the figures being used by the county are way too low, he said.
"There are hundreds of thousands of dollars left out of the figures," Benson said. Specifically he cited the 220 hours the county-owned asphalt plant was used during all of 2010. No private company could afford to own its own asphalt plant with so little usage, he said, adding that the full cost of ownership, including depreciation, is not accounted in other county equipment he researched.
Delta County bought its asphalt plant equipment and pavement recycler several years ago using grant funding from the state.
Benson told the BoCC even with plenty of money to spare in road budget figures that county still aren't put out for private enterprise bid. Plus, commissioners denied the last two private enterprise gravel pit applications it received.
"And," Benson said speaking to the fairness issue, "if private enterprise had failed to post signage like the county did, we'd be done."
In another recent example, a Hotchkiss contractor lost a box culvert job because the county by its figures could do the job for less money. The contractor complained to a road supervisor that he can't compete with the county's operation.
Following the BoCC's unanimous vote approving the specific development application for its own gravel operation, Benson observed, "That's how government gets bigger and private enterprise gets smaller."

Washington Caps fall to Rangers, 3-2, in New York
NEW YORK (AP) - Ryan Callahan scored for the fifth time in four days and defenseman Ryan McDonagh snapped a second-period tie to lift the New York Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
Callahan, who notched his second NHL hat trick Saturday with three goals in a 5-2 win at Philadelphia, got the Eastern Conference leaders going on Sunday in the first period.
McDonagh gave New York a 2-1 lead with 6:39 left in the second with his fifth of the season, and Brandon Prust snapped a 48-game drought with a short-handed tally in the third.
Henrik Lundqvist did the rest, making 24 saves to earn his second win in two days and setting New York up for a showdown with the Stanley Cup champion Bruins on Tuesday at Boston.
The Rangers (36-13-5) have won three straight, four of five, and six of eight (6-1-1). They are 19-5-1 in their past 25 games and 33-10-3 since starting the season 3-3-2.
New York didn't need its suddenly potent power play that had connected four times in the previous two wins after being mostly invisible for weeks. The Rangers were 0 for 2 with the advantage and killed both Washington power plays.
Alexander Semin scored, defenseman John Carlson had a goal and assist, and Michal Neuvirth stopped 25 shots for the Capitals, who have lost four of six (2-3-1) and sit ninth in the East playoff race.
Callahan has been on a three-game tear and has been the driving offensive force in the Rangers' latest winning streak in a season that has been full of them.
The New York captain deftly dealt with a puck in his skates, off a pass from defenseman Anton Stralman, who found him on the goal line to the left of Neuvirth. Callahan kicked the puck to his stick, shifted to his backhand and lifted a shot under the crossbar for his 22nd goal of the season as he fell to the ice at 11:01 of the first.
The Rangers maintained that lead in a game that had many stops and starts and had trouble maintaining a constant flow over the first half.
Washington got even 6:31 into the second when Semin took a smooth drop pass from Jason Chimera above the right circle and fired a shot past Lundqvist for his 15th of the season. Semin has three goals and three assists in his past five games and 21 points in 23 games - including nine goals.
The lead didn't last long, as McDonagh struck late in the period and narrowly avoided a serious injury in the process. McDonagh toe-dragged with the puck to get around Troy Brouwer and snapped a shot that hit Neuvirth before finding its way into the net.
On his followthrough, McDonagh twisted awkwardly and appeared to get his skate caught in the ice and crumpled. He was helped to the dressing room, without having a chance to celebrate his tiebreaking goal, but returned moments later before the second period ended.
Prust scored for the first time since Oct. 20 at Calgary, when he also notched a short-handed tally - giving him two goals in New York's first five games.
Carlson made it 3-2 with 2:28 remaining with a drive that caromed in off McDonagh.
Lundqvist was tested at times and was up to the task, also getting help from several drives that were blocked by goal posts. Lundqvist made a stretching glove save in the third period, and even intentionally used the top of his helmet to knock a shot out of play.
Neuvirth got the nod by Capitals coach Dale Hunter over Tomas Vokoun, who had started four in a row and six of seven. Vokoun was in goal Thursday for Washington's 3-2 shootout loss to Winnipeg.
NOTES: Rangers D Marc Staal earned an assist on Prust's goal, giving him his first point of the season in 18 games after returning from a concussion. ... New York again was without LW Ruslan Fedotenko, who was injured Thursday against Tampa Bay. ... The Capitals were 10-4-2 in their previous 16 regular-season games against the Rangers and 4-1-1 in six trips to Madison Square Garden.

Sacrifice of the Fittest
Moral Selection
I've been in Seattle for six months now, which means I've needed a number of haircuts. I found one spot near Mars Hill U-District that hooks me up and I hit up the same guy every time. Each time I go, we get into conversations about Jesus. He's shared a lot about his life, the things he's done and hasn't done.
One thing we often come back to is that he believes all someone has to do is be a good person in order to be with God forever. It was surely not the first time I've heard that. In fact, it's almost like a reflexive attitude in most people. Sure we do bad things, most say, but no one is perfect and God just wants us to try our best.
Where does this belief come from, that we are somehow good and all we have to do is be that and God will accept us? While there are perhaps countless answers to that question, one potential answer could be found in the Darwinian theory of survival of the fittest.
But the blood of animals like bulls and goats was never enough.
The Blood of the Unblemished
The Bible presents a world that is in sharp contrast to the one we want to believe we live in. We want to believe we live in a world governed by survival of the fittest, when in fact all of Scripture and all of reality points to a world that flourishes and thrives on sacrifice of the fittest. In the Old Testament, only animals that were without spot, wrinkle, or blemish were considered worthy of a holy, perfect God, and thus worthy of sacrifice. Leviticus 22:21 states, "And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it." The blood from a physically perfect animal was intended to purify for the moral imperfection of Israel (see also Lev. 16).
The fittest, holiest, most sinless person of all time, the God-man Jesus Christ, died for all of us who are wholly unfit.
But the blood of animals like bulls and goats was never enough. The author of Hebrews points to the true purifying sacrifice when he writes, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God" (Heb. 9:14).
The Lie in Rebellion
In our rebellion, we want to believe we live in a world that says, "Just be a good person and you will be with God," when Scripture, our bodies, and our consciences cry out, "You're not a good person—you are selfish and only want survival." Every little bit of selfishness, envy, bitterness, or greed shows how blemished you are just like every pimple or wrinkle or wart you have gotten in your lifetime.
We are completely unfit, and this is a sin problem. When we are able to finally see that there is a problem greater than we can possibly conceive, we see the solution: Jesus Christ.
In God's economy, only the sacrifice of the fittest leads to life everlasting.
The answer to the problem of our sin is God reconciling the sinners to himself through Jesus Christ. And how did he do it? Not by surviving, but by sacrificing himself on the cross. The fittest, holiest, most sinless person of all time, the God-man Jesus Christ, died for all of us who are wholly unfit. The best died for the worst.
We're Not Worthy
This is the news my barber—and the whole world—needs to hear. He needs to know that "just being a good person" is another take on the jacked-up notion of survival of the fittest. He needs to know that like you and me, he is the most unfit person in the world and completely unworthy to stand before a holy God. He needs to know—and we as believers most definitely need to be reminded—that in God's economy, only the sacrifice of the fittest leads to life everlasting.

Comments about Gemini RS-408 Active 8" Loudspeaker:
I've used this for 2 performances in which I was providing classical guitar background music during dinners. Having this reduced my setup time considerably compared to my larger setup. It had more than enough power to be heard as about 60 people milled around, talked and ate. I haven't been able to get out in front of it to hear the sound, but what I could pick up sounded good.
My only complaint is that it is advertised as having an XLR mic input. The 8" model doesn't, so I had to bring an adaptor to the gigs.
