Workshops IV: New Mathematical Frontiers in Network Multi-Resolution Analysis. November 17 - 21, 2008.
Culminating Workshop at Lake Arrowhead (by invitation only). December 7 - 12, 2008.
There will be an active program of research activities,
seminars and workshops throughout the September 8 - December 12, 2008 period and core
participants will be in residence at IPAM continuously for these fourteen
weeks. The program will open with tutorials, and will be punctuated by four
major workshops and a culminating workshop at UCLA's Lake Arrowhead
Conference Center. Several distinguished senior researchers will be in
residence for the entire period. Between the workshops there will be a
program of activities involving the long-term and short-term participants,
as well as visitors.
The main focus of this IPAM program will be on innovations and breakthroughs in the
theoretical foundations and practical implementations of a network-centric multi-resolution
analysis (MRA); that is, a structured approach to representing, analyzing, and visualizing
complex measurements from Internet-like systems that is (i) specifically designed to
accommodate the vertical (e.g., layers) and horizontal (e.g., domains) decompositions of
Internet-like architectural designs, (ii) flexible enough to account for the highly
heterogeneous (i.e., ``scale-rich'') nature of these designs and the high semantic content
of the available measurements, and (iii) capable of retaining some of the mathematical
elegance of more traditional MRA schemes. Critical capabilities of the envisioned Internet
MRA, in particular, and network MRA, in general, include support for the exploration of
multi-scale representations of very large and diverse network-specific annotated graph
structures, novel techniques for the study of the dynamics of as well as the dynamic
processes over these structures, and new methodologies and tools for dealing with aggregated
spatio-temporal-functional network data representations and their associated analysis and
By leading the way towards the development of a mathematical foundation for network-centric
MRA techniques, this IPAM program will be firmly grounded in a number of key Internet MRA
target problems (e.g., cyber-security, traffic/network engineering, network control), with
close ties to activities that can be expected to arise in the context of a major NSF-led
initiative called Global Environment for Networking Innovations or GENI (www.cise.nsf.gov/geni or www.geni.net).
At the same time, this IPAM program will also be strongly influenced by developments in
other scientific disciplines where informed multiscale approaches to the study of highly
engineered or evolved networked systems have proved to be essential for advancing our
understanding of their properties, behaviors, and evolution.
This long-term program will involve a community of senior and junior researchers. The
intent is for long-term participants to have an opportunity to learn about the mathematics
of knowledge and search engines from the perspective of multiple fields--notably
mathematics, and computer science--and to meet a diverse group of people and have an
opportunity to form new collaborations. In addition to these activities, there will be
opening tutorials, four workshops, and a culminating workshop at Lake Arrowhead.
Full and partial support for long-term participants is
available, and those interested are encouraged to fill out an online
application at the bottom of this page. Support for individual workshops
will also be available, and may be applied for through the online
application for each workshop. We are especially interested in applicants
who are interested in becoming core participants and participating in the
entire program (September 8 - December 12, 2008), but give consideration to applications
for shorter periods. Funding for participants is available at all academic
levels, though recent PhD's, graduate students, and researchers in the early
stages of their career are especially encouraged to apply.
Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and
scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their

Training eases transition to unionized environment
Queen's Industrial Relations Centre (IRC) in partnership with Human Resources is offering additional Managing Unionized Environments workshops following positive feedback to initial sessions in August. These sessions are customized to support managers during the transition to the new unionized environment at Queen's.
"Surveys conducted after the August sessions produced consistently high ratings," says Al Orth, Associate Vice-Principal (Human Resources). "This demonstrates that managers view the training as an important foundation for building positive relations with staff and our union partners."
Staff and faculty members in supervisory roles receive practical training during the two-day session, to help them understand and deal with situations that may arise in the unionized environment. Participants in the August sessions indicated the training clearly outlined their responsibilities and obligations.
Participants also said the workshops debunked the myth that a unionized environment has to be adversarial. Workshop speakers give both the management and union perspectives and show how both sides can work together to achieve what's best for the organization as a whole.
The workshops also introduce participants to available resources. Members of the Queen's HR Employee/Labour Relations unit attend the sessions and contribute to the discussion. There are also many opportunities throughout the sessions for participants to network with their colleagues from across the university.
Workshops will be held in December, January and February. HR hopes by offering sessions during the academic term more supervisory faculty members will be able to attend. Participants will receive a certificate and two credits towards the IRC Labour Relations certificate program. Visit the HR website for complete details and to sign up.

Re: High Idle knock
I would go ahead and pull the pan and check all journals and bearings. If a bearing is bad you may ruin the crank trying to figure it out.

Re: High Idle knock
My '55 Cub developed a knock a couple years ago just before the Cub Tug. We dropped the oil pan, and several experienced folks took a look and wiggle and confirmed what they had suspected...#1 rod bearing was loose. I did not run it again until I had it worked on, which was fortunate, because it turned out I was able to avoid a total engine rebuild. I was able to polish the crank and only replace the bearing on #1.
I suggest you follow the above recommendations of dropping the pan, look for metal in the bottom and closely check for any play in the rods. Right now you may still be lucky.
Good luck.

Re: High Idle knock
Youre getting some great advice....I love to see this forum work to solve a members problem....

Re: High Idle knock
Agreed! thanks again guys. It's a beautiful morning, so i'm going to pull the pan and have a "look and a wiggle"
Hopefully I'll be the only one wiggling (with delight at not finding anything loose!)
Re: High Idle knock
Ok, pulled the pan, I found one big hunk of metal.. doesn't look like a bearing to me, and none of the rods seem to have much play. what does it look like to you guys? No, there wasn't a dime in my engine, that's just for size comparison.
All of the rod bearings wiggle just a little side to side. Does that mean they all need to be replaced? or is that normal?

Re: High Idle knock
Looks like a washer of some type, maybe..Must have come from somewhere.....Did you check the mains by any chance...

Re: High Idle knock
Lock washer from hydraulic pump.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: High Idle knock
Should be a nut in there too pull the hydraulic pump and see if the nut and washer is missing, it may have been lost and repaired before. And this may be your knock.

Re: High Idle knock
There is a slight side to side movement on connecting rods at the crankshaft.
While you have the pan off, suggest purchasing plastigage from auto parts store and gauging the rod and main bearings. Guessing plastiqage will cost about $7- for two sticks, one stick measuring .001" - .003" and the 2nd stick measuring .003" - .006".
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: High Idle knock
Nice catch guys
In Memory of 58,286
Re: High Idle knock
where would this nut have ended up??
How should I go about pulling the hydraulic pump? do I need to drain fluid in the system? the manual isn't too clear.

Re: High Idle knock
Now that I look at it, I think it's been replaced recently. No paint on it!
Re: High Idle knock
As a side note, I noticed some metal shavings in the bell housing... throwout bearing? I bet that's what all the noise is when it's in neutral.. do you need to split the tractor to get to that one?
Re: High Idle knock
Unbolt the hydraulic lines at the touch control block and hydraulic pump. Bucket on floor under each connection works well. You should replace the fluid any way.
Unbolt hydraulic pump. Check inside the front engine cover for a missing nut.
The metal shavings are probably off the pressure plate fingers or throwout bearing bracket. Noise would show up when clutch depressed, not in neutral
To repair you will need to split the tractor.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: High Idle knock
Soooo... Guess what I found when I cleaned out the sludge in the oil pan? This little guy was hiding under a lot of gunk:
Turns out you guys are pretty good at identifying random torn up pieces of steel!
I didn't pull off the pump yet, and I don't have a torque wrench handy, so I didn't check the bearing clearances. hopefully i'll get to both those things soon.
I couldn't help myself, so i fired her up and the knock is still there. I can only hear it at full throttle, and only with the clutch engaged (When i let up the clutch there's some nasty noise coming from somewhere). that means I can't get off the seat and track down where it's coming from...
Tell me if i'm wrong, but i'm guessing I should probably replace the rod bearings in any case since the knock is still there and they do have some play.
I'm learning so much today, this forum and more importantly YOU GUYS rock!

A membership in a genealogical society usually has many advantages. Joining a society in the geographic location where you live, besides providing support for the society itself, can usually benefit that member. Becoming involved with that organization enables one to network with others as well as attend workshops and other learning experiences. Beginners are usually greatly benefited by learning from the more experienced members of the group. Volunteering to assist in the organization's library can enable the beginner to become more familiar with genealogy books and other materials at that facility.
A membership in a genealogical society located in the geographic vicinity where an ancestor lived also can be most helpful, especially if that member takes advantage of all resources available. For example, as one whose ancestors lived in New York, I maintained a membership in the NY Genealogical and Biographical Society for several years while I sent regular queries for free publication in the society's quarterly, and requested free look-ups in that society's holdings. (Many societies also encourage members to purchase materials and/or attend workshops at a reduced rate.)
More recently, a surname index to The Record (the NY society's quarterly publication) is available free on the Internet and members can view the full text version of the articles from which the index was compiled. Thus, all back issues of that publication are now accessible to the society's members — hundred of issues — at http://www.newyorkhistory.org.
Many other genealogical societies also are making their publications available on the Internet to their members (including back issues). Several societies are making databases available to members, as well as providing searchable indexes. Do you belong to such an organization?
But what about queries? There seems to be a definite decrease in the number of queries submitted to genealogical societies for their publications. Perhaps it is because there are so many places on the Internet where one can show an interest in a specific surname and advertising in a magazine might seem outdated. Not so! As long as members receive and read the quarterlies created by a genealogical society, any queries in that publication are also being read. Don't short-change your own research by not submitting queries. The membership fee that you already paid enables you to reach many people in all parts of the country — both other subscribers and other societies/organizations that receive that publication.
Incidentally, queries are still welcome for this column. They, too, have declined in number, but can be effective if essentials are provided. Well-written queries should include name(s), date(s), place(s) and event(s). They can still be published free in this column.
Queries, as well as a general exchange of genealogical material that readers would like to share, will be printed in the column for free. Contact Joan Griffis by e-mailing email@example.com

(sigh) Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was at Fordham University in New York to receive an award yesterday and give a speech. A number of things jump out. First, a recap. In his post, "The Patriarch, the Enlightenment, and the Environment," here on the Observer, Fr. Gregory Jensen reminds us that the human heart needs communion with a person, not an inanimate object. Whether in the Holy Trinity or in the human family, personal communion is radically different then the union possessed by "molecules of water" or by "particles of atmosphere." The union of the physical creation is impersonal. There is no communion between molecules of water or particles of air. Thus the comparison of the human to the non-human world in these terms makes all conversation about what is in our best personal or national interest meaningless. When particularity is subsumed into an abstraction, the differences between people ultimately have no meaning. But, in his Fordham speech, Patriarch … [Read more...]

Hi !
Appericiate if you can give us a guide for timeliner simulation with walkthrough.
Any idea can we record our timeliner simulation something like AVI format?
Solved! Go to Solution.
To export your timeliner simulation, go to output tab -> animation and choose "timeliner simulation" and avi.
For the timeliner guide, have you checked the forum, help files etc? It should give a good start. Make your camera scenes and animations in animator. Attach object animations to your tasks in timeliner, and choose your camera scene under simulate tab -> settings in timeliner.
The AVIs that get created are typically huge when compared to other video formats. I recommend getting the Microsoft Live Movie Maker to convert the AVI to WindowsMedia. Much, much smaller files. The MS Live Movie Maker is a free download, just be sure to do a custom install so that you will NOT install all the "sponsor" products. Example from my experience: Two AVIs that combine to 1.5gB compressed via Movie Maker to 42,412kb as a WMV.
Start with some of our most frequented solutions or visit the Installation and Licensing Forum to get help installing your software.

The Miami Marlins have finally signed first-round pick Colin Moran to a deal, allowing him to start in the minors soon. What is his potential path to the Major Leagues?
The Marlins have agreed to terms with first-round pick Colin Moran, according to Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun-Sentinel.
A quick recap of how all of the Marlins draft picks performed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, including players like Colin Moran, Trevor Williams, and Colby Suggs.
The Miami Marlins drafted Colin Moran in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft, and his selection was perfect in more than one way.
An in-depth look at five 2013 Marlins draft picks: Chandler Eden, Adam Westmoreland, Kevin Williams, K.J. Woods, and Justin Bohn.
The 2013 MLB Draft has come and gone, but how did the Marlins fare with their selections that are likely to have a huge impact on the franchise going forward?
The Miami Marlins drafted eight additional players on the second day of the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft. Curiously, not a single one of them was a pitcher.
The Miami Marlins drafted four quality prospects yesterday, headlined by North Carolina third basemen Colin Moran.
The Miami Marlins have made another draft pick selection, taking right-hander Trevor Williams out of Arizona State University.
The Marlins selected prep southpaw Matt Krook with the second pick in the Competitive Balance round of the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft.

MIAMI (AP) - Forecasters say a tropical depression is dumping heavy rains on Central America as it trudges toward southern Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the Atlantic season's second tropical depression could bring up to 10 inches of rain across parts of Belize, Guatemala and southern Mexico.
The depression formed Monday off Belize. It was moving Tuesday over parts of Belize and northern Guatemala with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph (48 kph).
It is traveling west-northwest at 8 mph (13 kph). Forecasters say the depression could strengthen Wednesday nearing Mexico's Bay of Campeche.
The heavy rains may cause flash flooding, but no coastal watches or warnings have been issued.

LAS VEGAS -- It took a Federal Court jury only three and a half hours to agree on a guilty verdict in the tax trial of Medical Mafia insider Howard Awand and his wife. The Awand's were accused of failing to pay millions in taxes from the money they earned working on personal injury cases in Las Vegas. Soon, they could be headed to prison.
It's been five years and two days since the Channel 8 I-Team first broke the story about the existence of the FBI's Medical Mafia investigation.
Local doctors and lawyers earned hundreds of millions of dollars by working with so-called fixer Howard Awand, who told the court that the attorneys he worked with were so lazy, that Awand had to prepare most of the cases himself.
Awand's defense lawyers relied on the stupidity defense -- admitting the Awand's were pretty dumb about their taxes. It looks like the jury agreed.
Awand was a sharp and likeable witness who told the jury he was a smart enough businessman to earn nearly $9 million in four years by working with lawyers and doctors on personal injury cases, but was a knucklehead when it came to paying his taxes. Awand and his wife Linda admitted they owed $2.5 million in taxes, which is now nearly $3.5 million with penalties, and that they failed to file at all until years after the forms were due. But they asked the jury to trust them in their claim that they always intended to pay at some point, and most importantly, that they were completely unaware anyone could go to prison for not paying their federal taxes.
But Prosecutor Steve Myhre proved trust is not Awand's strong suit. In a withering cross examination, Myhre got Awand to admit to numerous lies in his personal and professional life. Awand did not, as he claimed, serve in Vietnam. He had not, as he claimed, worked for the CIA. He is not a lawyer -- a claim made on a loan application to buy a Bentley. And he is not a cousin to attorney Bob Vannah.
Vannah is a personal injury lawyer who used Awand to coordinate several huge personal injury cases and settlements and is believed to be a target of the ongoing FBI investigation.
Awand told the jury he had failed to pay his taxes for four years, in part, because his bookkeeper dropped the ball. He didn't replace her, he says, because she was ill and he wanted to be a nice guy. Then, his tax accountant quit on him but he didn't find out for two years.
Awand's attorney told the jury that its un-American to send someone to debtors prison for not paying what they owe, even a tax debt. The lawyer accused the government of unfairly influencing the jury by pointing to millions of dollars in lavish spending by the couple -- cars, homes and antiques. Myhre responded by pointing out the Awand's had the money to pay their taxes but chose instead to buy mansions and luxuries because they thought they could get away with it. The jury agreed.
The Awand's face up to four years in prison but won't be sentenced until April 2010.
In February, Awand will go on trial for conspiracy alongside attorney Noel Gage. One of the key witnesses against the two will be their former co-defendant, Dr. Mark Kabins, who pled guilty. Will the government use the tax conviction to convince Awand to cooperate, not only against Gage but other Medical Mafia targets? As one insider put it, Awand knows everything.
Defense attorney James Oronoz says he will ask for probation, adding there is nothing to be gained by putting the Awand's in prison, since they would not be able to pay what they owe.
The U.S. Attorneys Office declined to comment on this story, probably because they have another prosecution of Awand scheduled to start in one month and don't want to aggravate the presiding judge.

This CD kicks ass… if you like new rock, this CD is a must.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This is the follow up to the 2002 release. This album is exceptional and the best the North Californian young band has come up with so-far. With only one listen of 'Someone In Control' I was hooked. Maybe initially it was the CD artwork that pictured a working class man who seemed to have it all, on his bed with his head in his hands. For me this picture could have depicted me. How many times have we felt not in control of our lives, of our family, of our work? This album was made for the working man and woman and I will explain why.
It is quite unique to find an album with the first 3 songs pretty much the best in the album. 'Disconnected' deals with how each of us can feel apart, out of touch with our loved one's, our friends and colleagues. The lyrics are sung gracefully and full of meaning with the abtuse deep rock riffs in the background. 'Waiting' and 'Victim' are songs for the working man/woman. The lyrics depict a person who falls victim to a unfeeling/uncaring working society.
Another great song is 'Lost Realist' that is a song based on our morals and how they stand up to today's reality. Are we going to stand by our morals or succumb to the flavour of the month? This song asks the listener to think and reflect on what we term 'reality'.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable album with a great message of hope and reflection within its lyrics and Trapt have earned my respect in their approach. Through the on the road experience they are trying to impart what they have shared and learned to their fans. There are no mindless lyrics here. This album is great. Nothing is skin deep.
This CD is for any rock fan and especially for die hard Trapt fans.
First off, I can never review a CD right away. No way. I have to wait a while. I have to hear it all, read it all, and absorb everything that a band has to offer. After hearing Stand Up on the radio the first time, I was not hooked right away, it actually took awhile for me to like it because it sounded like Headstrong or Echo. But after actuallly reading the lyrics and seeing the whole album for the first time in my hand after I bought it, It clicked. Now don't get me wrong, their self tittled first cd was down right brilliant, and the best cd you could ask for from a "who the heck are these guys…what?..they were still in high school when they recorded this…and have a possible platinum album someday" band. Yes. That is Trapt. Their sophmore cd is a great follow up. No where near their first, but hands down way above average then a normal band that just couldn't produce a solid second cd. They are in conntrol, and have nowhere to go but up. I seen them open for Default and Nickelback, and they definantly got me hooked on all their songs. I'm always worried that these "more popular" bands that people always know because of their hits off the radio, won't step it up and perform. Oh but they did. They put on a great show, and everybody liked them. Definantly fun seeing live. Back to their cd Someone in Control. Other then Stand Up (it will get you hooked), Lost Realist, Bleed Like Me, Disconnected, Victim, and Waiting are all going to get you in a mood that only Trapt can create. Hats off to Trapt to a solid 2nd release. Trapt fans will be impressed, other people will shrug their shoulders and say "Hey, their just another band that sounds the same trying to get the popular demand." No way. That is not Trapt. They are in a group by theirselves. Be in control and buy this album. If you don't have their first album, that IS a must have before this one.
This is one of the few CDs I can listen to without skipping a track. I'm sick of all these new screaming metal bands (I'm looking your way Alexis on Fire) so its good to hear actual singing with the rock music. I cant recommend this enough.
This CD is awesome. I don't know what that one review is talking about. The audience for this is anybody that likes well-written, well-performed music. There is not one weak point on this album, everything straight-up rocks. There is no screaming, and there is no whining (which many people seem to like these days. ???) Chris Brown delivers a stunning performance on vocals, fitting the excellent musicianship perfectly. I cannot wait for an opportunity to see these guys live. They kick ass.

Swimsuit Summer Love: Heavy Red's Swim Noir Collection
There's something about the sizzling sun that jolts sexy into the outdoors—loose clothes, halter flip-flops, low cut, high cut tan lines and, of course, the tantalizing swimsuit; bikini or not.
Tyler Ondine Whitman of Heavy Red recognizes this, and it shows in the steamy, vintage curvature and wild-child edge of her most recent Swim Noir collection. With an online catalogue offering promises of stitched, summer love, there's a suit (or two) for many types of women: rebel chicks, showgirl savants, edgy executives and voodoo vixens.
The Chic, Rock and Roll Radical
With a "Rebel Yell," you own the summer. Bikinis are in and it. Not ashamed to flaunt your flirt, you walk like Madonna and smile like Dita. There's no such thing as trouble to you, only adventure.
Thin and energetic—your larger than life personality needs an assertive match, a suit that commands attention: a leader. Wearing ripped clothes and a mischievous glare, you leave the house, ready or not, wrapped in black and red striped fabric. Your perfect match is a "Steam Menagerie," "Vengeance," embodied, a "Forsaken Deviant" and "Perpetual Distraction." It's a swimsuit with a loud voice and exhibitionist air.
Left to right: Steam Menagerie, Forsaken Deviants, and Insidious Temptation
The Steam Menagerie, lined with tinted Lycra and peeling layers, has a classic cut and textured, rust/rouge fabric, making it smooth on the inside and aggressive on the out. With a slight princess seam (sparkles included), this suit has a multi-faceted, eccentric personality: upholding a touch of the Victorian, yet inching towards a regal, apocalyptic warrior. Tanned, but nearly flesh toned, the Menagerie is the combative suitor of "Vengeance"-- similar in style, but demonstrating a whole different set of attributes.
Vengeance is dominant and strong: in your face. Street smart and graffiti-gritty, the two-piece is magnetically attractive, and very territorial. Despite its peeling look, black on the inside and gray on the out, it's finely stitched and neat, showing its colorful character through you.
The Pin-Up Virtuoso
If your curvature, however, has the thrill of a burlesque bombshell—curvy, thin and asymmetric—and you have an eye for modern art, your best match is the "Forsaken Deviant." With a red-wine colored inside topped with vintage, black shred, this little number is devilish and stunning, suitable for a showgirl. Taking ownership of classic beauty, the Deviant is a love affair for the glam girl looking to embellish her own look, and a worthy rival of "Perpetual Distraction."
Crisscrossed, black and white, "Distraction" is a dramatic two-piece with art deco charm. Its cotton insides make it sweet and soft; its intersecting, black lines jolt with electric excitement. Abstract and intelligent, this bikini will embolden you. It's summer amore stitched with purpose; and that purpose is strength through art.

Biographical Summary
Constance Hopkins was baptized on 11 May 1606 in Hursley, Hampshire, England, to parents Stephen Hopkins and his first wife Mary. It should be noted that the long-standing Constance Dudley myth was disproven in 1998: the Hopkins family of the Mayflower was not from Wortley, Gloucester as had been previously speculated and published.
Constance came with her father Stephen, step-mother Elizabeth, brother Giles, and step-sister Damaris on the Mayflower in 1620, at the age of 14. Constance's future husband, Nicholas Snow, arrived on the ship Anne in 1623. Nicholas and Constance Snow were married shortly before the 1627 Division of Cattle, and lived in Plymouth for a time. Around 1645, the family moved to Eastham.
William Bradford, writing in 1651, stated that Constance Hopkins had 12 children "all of them living". Only 9 can be documented with existing records. Constance, wife of Daniel Doane, is quite probably one of the three "missing" children, but unfortunately there is no conclusive proof.
Constance2 Hopkins (Stephen1), B., 11, May 1606 Hursley, Hampshire, England [1] a Mayflower Passenger with her father and stepmother, married Nicholas Snow.

Stephen HOPKINS Mayflower(1374). —He most likely was the Stephen Hopkins who sailed on the Seaventure to Virginia in 1609, but was shipwrecked in Bermuda, where he was almost hanged for mutiny. He spent two years in Jamestown, where he learned much of later use to the Plymouth colonists (Adventurers of Purse and Person —Virginia 1607-1625, ed. by Annie Lash Jester with Martha Woodroof Hiden, 2nd ed. (1964), p. 213-17). See also the excellent account of his family in Dawes-Gates 2:443-51, which includes the reasoning for believing that the Stephen Hopkins of Virginia was identical with the one of Plymouth.
Hopkins arrived at Plymouth on the 1620 Mayflower accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth, and his sons Giles and Oceanus, and daughters Constance and Damaris, Oceanus having been born at sea on the Mayflower, plus two servants, Edward Doty and Edward Leister. Damaris died during the early years, and Hopkins and his wife later had a second daughter Damaris. He was probably also one of the dissenters at Plymouth whose actions led to the necessity for drafting the Mayflower Compact. Bradford (Ford) 1:219, and Mourt's Relation, p. 40, tell how in 1621 the colonists sent Mr. Edward <Picture>Winslow<Picture> and Mr. Stephen Hopkins on a mission to visit Massasoit. Mourt's Relation, pp. 7-8, also shows how Hopkins warned colonists on an early expedition about an Indian trap to catch deer, and how Bradford, not hearing the warning, stepped on the trap and was immediately caught by his leg. When Samoset first came to the settlement on 16 February 1620/21, the Englishmen were suspicious of him, and they "lodged him that night at Steven Hopkins house, and watched him" (Mourt's Relation, p. 33). Hopkins was an Assistant at least as early as 1633, and he continued in 1634, 1635, and 1636. He was on the original freeman list, and he was a volunteer in the Pequot War (PCR 1:61).
Keeping in mind the delicate balance in Plymouth between "covenant" and "noncovenant" colonists, it is reasonable to assume that Hopkins must have been a leader of the non-Separatist settlers, and in his career at Plymouth can be seen some of the ambiguity that attached to the non-Separatists living in a Separatist colony. On 7 June 1636, at a time when Hopkins was an Assistant, the General Court found him guilty of battery against John Tisdale, and he was fined £5, and ordered to pay Tisdale forty shillings, the court observing that he had broken the King's peace, "wch [p.309] he ought after a speciall manner to have kept" (PCR 1:42). On 2 October 1637 he was presented twice, first for suffering men to drink in his house on the Lord's day before meeting ended, and for allowing servants and others to drink more than proper for ordinary refreshing, and second for suffering servants and others to sit drinking in his house contrary to orders of the court, and to play at shovel board and like misdemeanors (PCR 1:68). On 2 January 1637/38 Hopkins was presented for suffering excessive drinking in his house "as old Palmer, James Coale, & William Renolds" (PCR 1:75). On 5 June 1638 he was presented for selling beer for two pence a quart which was not worth a penny a quart, and for selling wine at excessive rates "to the oppressing & impovishing of the colony"; he was fined £5 for some of these offenses, including selling strong waters and nutmegs at excessive rates (PCR 1:87, 97). In the Dorothy Temple case (see text) he was "committed to ward for his contempt to the Court, and shall so remayne comitted untill hee shall either receive his servant Dorothy Temple, or els pvide for her elsewhere at his owne charge during the terme shee hath yet to serve him" (PCR 1:112). On 3 December 1639 he was presented for selling a looking glass for sixteen pence which could be bought in the Bay Colony for nine pence, and he was also fined £3 for selling strong water without license" (PCR 1:137). Jonathan Hatch, who from the records seems to have been a recurring disciplinary problem in the colony, on 5 April 1642 was ordered by the court to dwell with Mr. Stephen Hopkins, "& the said Mr Hopkins to have a speciall care of him" (PCR 2:38).
xxx He dated his will 6 June 1644, inventory 17 July 1644, and mentioned his deceased wife; sons Giles and Caleb; daughter Constance, wife of Nicholas Snow; daughters Deborah, Damaris, Ruth and Elizabeth; and grandson Stephen, son of his son Giles (MD 2:12). Ralph D. Phillips, "Hopkins Family of Wortley, Gloucestershire—Possible Ancestry of Stephen Hopkins," TAG 39:95, suggests that he might have come from the parish of Wotten-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, but the evidence is not sufficient to say positively. Some writers, such as Banks in English Ancestry, pp. 61-64, and Jacobus in Waterman Family, 1:86, have felt that his wife, Elizabeth, may have been Elizabeth Fisher, whom a Stephen Hopkins married at London 19 February 1617/18—Mourt's Relation, p. 15, states that he was of London. If so, she would have been a second wife, for the births of some of his children would predate this marriage. Dawes-Gates 2:443, citing the London marriage record, states that his wife was "undoubtedly" Elizabeth Fisher. Timothy Hopkins, "Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower and Some of His Descendants," NEHGR 102:46, 98, 197, 257, 103:24, 85, 166, 304, 104:52, 123, 213, 296, 105:32, 100, covers some of his early generations, but it is not documented. George E. Bowman wrote an article in MD 5:47 to consolidate much of the early information known about his family. A popularized biography of Stephen Hopkins was written by Margaret Hodges, Hopkins of the Mayflower—Portrait of a Dissenter (New York, 1972). Claims that a John Hopkins of Hartford, Connecticut, was his son are baseless. By his first wife he had Constance, who married Nicholas Snow, and [p.310] Giles, who married Catherine Wheldon. By Elizabeth Fisher he had the Damaris, who died young; Oceanus, who died young; Caleb, who died at Barbados as an adult without issue; Deborah, who married Andrew Ring; the second Damaris, who married Jacob Cooke, son of Francis; Ruth, who died without issue; and Elizabeth, who died without issue (Dawes-Gates, 2:449).
Children were: Damaris HOPKINS Mayflower.
-------------------- 1620, on the ship "Mayflower" -------------------- Constance Hopkins was a passenger on the Mayflower. -------------------- CONSTANCE HOPKINS & NICHOLAS SNOW Constance Hopkins was a Mayflower passenger. She journeyed with her father and stepmother, Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins, her brother Giles, her half-sister Damaris and her half-brother Oceanus who was born during the voyage.
Sometime before 1627, Constance Hopkins married Nicholas Snow. Nicholas Snow had arrived in Plymouth on the Anne in 1623.
The inventory of Nicholas' estate, taken at the time of his death, includes carpenter's tools. This may have been his trade. His inventory also included books, so he was probably literate. Nicholas held various minor positions in Plymouth, such as highway surveyor.
The Snows moved from Plymouth to Nauset, on Cape Cod in the 1640s. On the Cape, Nicholas served as surveyor, constable and selectman.
Constance and Nicholas had 12 children. Nicholas died in November of 1676, Constance a year later in October of 1677. Before his death, Nicholas Snow wrote a will. Click HERE for that will as well as for the inventory of his estate at the time of his death.
The Pilgrim Society displays one artifact that is attributed to Constance Hopkins. It is a beaver hat, made in England, c.1615-1640. Steeple crowned hats, usually with a decorative band, were popular for both men and women in the early 17th century. Beaver fur, imported into England from the colonies, was processed into felt to make hats. Click HERE to see the Constance Hopkins beaver hat.

She was baptized on May 11, 1606. -------------------- Constance Hopkins came to this country on the Mayflower with her father, Stephen Hopkins. -------------------- Came over on the Mayflower. -------------------- Constance Hopkins (May 11, 1606 – October 1677), also sometimes listed as Constanta. She was probably born in Hursley, Hampshire, England. Constance was the second daughter of Stephen Hopkins, by his first wife, Mary. Some believe she was named in honor of Constance (Marline) Hopkins. Constance, at the age of fourteen, along with her father and his second wife Elizabeth (Fisher), accompanied by brother Giles, half-sister Damaris as well as two servants by the name of Edward Doty and Edward Lester were passengers on the Mayflower on its journey to the New World in 1620. Along the way her half-brother Oceanus was born, the only child born on the Mayflower journey. Her headstone marker, placed in 1966 by descendants, states in part "Wife of Nicholas Snow, Eastham's first town clerk 1646 – 1662". Constance married Nicholas, sometime before the 1627 division of cattle, probably May 22, 1627. Nicholas came to Plymouth on board the ship Anne in 1623 and was made a freeman at Plymouth in 1633. The inventory of Nicholas Snow's estate made at his death lists a wide variety of cooper's and carpenter's tools; this may indicate his trade. He was town clerk at Eastham and held several other local government offices. According to Governor William Bradford, who wrote between March 6 and April 3, 1651: "Constanta is also married, and hath 12 children all of them living, and one of them married".

|TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE Once Off-limits Estonian Coastal Islands Now a Virtual Paradise
|Written by Steve Bergsman, Creative Syndicate
|Thursday, 03 November 2011 02:41
A Finnish couple restored an old farm on the Estonian island of Muhu, converting original buildings into useful spaces.
Kristina Ojamaa, who lives in the city of Tallinn, Estonia, tells me the islands are the most beautiful part of her country. The country's coastline stretches along the Baltic Sea from Russia to Latvia, and south of Tallinn, the land mass of Estonia stretches directly east through a small grouping of large islands, two of which, Muhu and Saaremaa, I visited when the weather teased sunshine but cast above me mostly overcast skies that blew bitter winds off the Gulf of Finland.
The islands, rustic and sparsely populated, are indeed lovely with dense forests and rugged shorelines. Once locked up in time by the Soviet Union, they are being renewed with both a patina of modernity and commitment to tradition.Ojamaa, who is old enough to remember the days before Estonia's independence, told me that when her country was part of the Soviet empire from 1944 until its independence in 1991, non-islanders weren't allowed to visit either Muhu or Saaremaa because the Soviets considered the coastlines restricted places, and the islands were part of the borderlands defense structure. Only locals and the military lived on the islands. The locals fished and the Soviets constructed missile silos. Did these silos contain nuclear missiles? Everyone has an opinion, but no one knows for sure.
The bad thing was that Estonians couldn't come to the islands, but in the end, it was kind of good thing because the islands remained undeveloped and locked into a mid-20th century time warp.
At one time the smaller island, Muhu, was home to 6,000 people. Now just 2,000 folks hang their hats there, although the summer population can easily double that number. The larger Saaremaa boasts a few towns and a population of 40,000 — still not enough to make it seem anything more than a rural conclave.
Mostly wooded and agricultural, Muhu and Saareman were dotted with old farmhouses, many of which had been left to slowly rot away in the harsh elements. That was before the carriage trade moved in and began to discover the beauty not only of the old islands but also of these weathered buildings.
Sikke Sumari, the Finnish television personality and top chef de cuisine of the "Master Chef" television show, discovered an old property with collapsing stone and wood buildings. She and her husband, Tony, have spent years restoring and building out a kind of escapist compound in a style that might be called Baltic chic: a veneer of Scandinavian modernity mixed with traditional Baltic crafts. The estate is called Nami Namaste Farm and boasts such attractive guest rooms that the president of Estonia often comes to get away from the bustle of Tallinn politics.
Sikke teaches a cooking class so popular that a new building was being erected to hold 40 participants. When I visited the property, a small group of us gathered around the kitchen to help prepare our lunch: potato-leek soup, salmon entree and delicate chocolate cake desert. The cooking was not done by Sikke but by Tony, who began his career as a journalist but seemed to have picked up some new skills after 30 years of marriage.
On Saaremaa, I traveled to a remote farm that was now owned by Steve, a Brit, who married a local, Ea. After working at varied places doing different things in Europe and the United States they returned to Saaremaa, where, like Sikke and Tony, they bought a property with ancient structures and completely restored and modernized them all. Somewhere in this process, Steve and Ea, decided to go into the organic soapmaking business, which has become so successful that they now market their wares internationally.
Ea also instructs visitors in the art of soap-making and lets them keep what they have made. I created a lovely oval bar scented with pashuli and ylangylang and crusted with rose petals, cornflower and hops.
The grandest refurbishment was the restoration of a baronial estate that dates back to the 14th century into a sumptuous hotel. Called Padaste Manor, it is located on the shoreline of Muhu wetlands and consists of numerous estate buildings. The old overseer's house can now be rented to a large family or numerous couples. An old storage building houses the spa with treatment rooms and a sauna-steam area. The main building, or manor house, contains 14 rooms, each grandly outfitted with all the conveniences of the modern world combined with Baltic traditional furnishings.
The restaurant at Padaste Manor has been voted the best in Estonia. The night I was there the simple set-dinner of nouveau Estonian cuisine opened with juniper-smoked goat cheese and ash-baked vegetables adorned with beetroot dressing. The main course was a cod surrounded by parsnips, celery and apples. For desert, I indulged in the rhubarb compote-liquorice meringut.
Before I left Padaste Manor, the hotel's manager gave me an English translation of an excerpt from the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia, with a subtitle that read "This chapter deals with the conquest of Muhu Island in 1227 by the forefather of the last noble owner of the Padaste estate." The manor house isn't that old; it was built in the 19th century.
For the quirkiest meal on the islands, my vote goes to the old Episcopal Castle in Saaremaa's capital city of Kuressaare. It dates from the post-Henry of Livonia period and was originally a fortified residence for the local bishop, but over the centuries it became a considerable fort, complete with ramparts and moat.
Today, visitors can enjoy an entertaining medieval experience with the staff in period dress. The original bishop of the castle makes an appearance, blessing the considerable meal of pork and fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
The locals have always enjoyed grand times on these islands. As diarist Henry of Livonia noted, "The Livonians and the Letts surrounded the fort and allowed none to escape. When the enemy was defeated, the victors rejoiced and sang praise to God." To top off a splendid time, the Livonians "took the town, seized the loot, plundered the goods and fine possessions, drove away the horses and flocks and burned what was left with fire."
The Livonians knew that the Estonian islands of Muhu and Saaremaa were where to go for exuberant fun. Today's visitors can relive the good times — and nothing gets burned down.
Getting there: I flew Finnair from New York to Helsinki to Tallinn, Estonia. Then, after traveling through the Baltic countries, I left Europe from Riga, Latvia, to Helsinki and back to New York: www.finnair.com.
Where to stay: I already mentioned the luxurious Padaste Manor (www.padaste.ee), but for something a little more proletarian, try one of the spa hotels in Kuressaare. I stayed at the Georg Ots Spa, www.gospa.ee, where I kayaked into Kuressaare Bay.
Where to shop: The small town of Kuressaare is in walking distance to the spa-hotel area on the coast and contains several local craft stores. Wandering around on my own, I found a couple of great antique stores, low- and high-end. I came away with a few treasures, a Russian enamel brooch for my wife and a Soviet-era poster for myself.

Board Certified Gynecologic Surgeon
Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery
Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery
The "G-Spot" is really not a spot but an entire erotogenic area which involves the entire female urethra, the surrounding erectile tissues, and the adjacent anterior vaginal wall. During normal sexual arousal, this area is not usually reached and therefore not stimulated. This area is the seat of a distinct erotogenic zone waiting to be awakened!
Enhancing, amplifying, and augmenting the entire peri-urethral area with emphasis at the apex (urethro-vesical junction) with dermal-fillers will result in heightened levels of sexual excitement and arousal INSTANTLY!
This is an exam-room, lunch time minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure utilizing specialized techniques taught only in certification training in Botox (R) & Dermal Fillers which can elevate your sexual responsiveness instantly.
With increased Media Exposure & a hightened level of awareness, more women every day are seeking Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery. A woman is now more aware of how she "looks" in the mirror & "feels" in the bedroom and it may threaten self-esteem & self-image, decrease sexual excitement & desire, affect her love-life, or cause vaginal irritation or discomfort.
Female Cosmetic Genital Surgery isn't about Medical or Surgically necessary conditions. It's about restoring Sexual Feelings and Recreating Self-Esteem. They may be requested for strictly cosmetic reasons, however, often they are requested for functional reasons. Labiaplasty (Labia Minora Reduction); Vaginoplasty (Vaginal Rejuvenation & Tightening) or Combination Labiaplasty & Vaginoplasty are elective female cosmetic genital procedures also known as Designer Vaginas.

I'm happy to announce the newest publication compiled by former Red Reporter bigshot Joel Luckhaupt (aka Slyde). If you weren't here for the Slyde era, he's the one who wrote a book and now does the stats for Fox Sports Ohio's Reds coverage, who occasionally stops by from time-to-time to share his insight, wisdom, and dick jokes.
This year, he's compiled an all-star list of writers to help preview the Reds 2013 campaign. Red Reporters featured include Cy Schourek, riverfront76, Charlie Scrabbles, RijoSabes, -ManBearPig, AC Slider, Grahamophone, ken, andromache, as well as yours truly... and even an appearance from our old buddy nycredsfan (who is apparently not dead! good news!). On top of that, there's posts by our friends from Redleg Nation, Blog Red Machine, and even a piece from 1530's Mo Egger. Muffins even did the cover art!
At only $4.00, it's well worth it considering the amount of great work here. You can download it in PDF form, or in forms compatible with iDevices and Kindle if that's what you're into.
Here's the website: http://www.redlegannual.com/

The last books that have been published on cyclists, such as David Millar or Tyler Hamilton, are having much success. Probably taking advantage of this pull, and has been taking advantage of one of the characters in 2012, has reached this biography of Bradley Wiggins titled "My Time" , where it is also clear that the British rider has not been an exemplary man.
Although, when we talk about Wiggins defects that do not have issues with doping, but with alcohol. His is a career that eventually succeeded, after achieving victory in the Tour de France 2012 and the gold in the Olympics, medals to add to those already achieved in Beijing 2008 and Athens 2004, but before reaching he lives there with the dark side of sport.

Popular Teas from TeekanneSee All 79 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
This is the one tea that made me realize green teas are actually good! Perfect taste and scent. You will for sure be able to smell cacti, the 'greeniness'. Conclusion: it is a great tea for quite a favourable price.
The perfect berry tea I have tried was Fairmont's Berry Berry tea, and I have purchased Teekanne's berry herbal tea variety in the hopes of tasting similar to Fairmont's but I was very wrong. Even though the ingredients and flavor description is very similar, all the Teekanne's berry herbal tea variety I have tried turned out way too sour. I do believe they're healthy. At least they don't taste artificial and that's good but really I always have a lot of tea bags left around in my cupboard because I can never finish them all. They do have many more attractive looking berry blends, but I'm afraid to experiment with them with my own money. I will try them if I get them for free from somewhere but I highly doubt I'd purchase with my own money again.
I cannot recall how I received two bags of this tea but I imagine it was through one swap or another. This will be my last cup before retreating for the night to carry on reading Mad Mouse by Chris Grabenstein.
It smells sweet with strong licorice and cinnamon essences.
Flavour wise this is thickly licorice and it leaves that refreshing feeling in my mouth as I sip. The anise is also rather strong mixed with the cinnamon and in the after taste the Rooibos is noticeable. It's an unusual blend and I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this cup. My husband is also not a fan.
Perfect choice for summer nights or after lunch. It's very balanced,nothing stands out, but it makes you feel so comfortable ——helps cooling your mind and make a little contribution to digesting .I like herbal scents, and it tastes even more lovely when brewed with some freshly cut summer fruits XD
What kind of an Indian restaurant has only Lipton and German-brand Peppermint? So weird! They looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered hot tea.
As for the tea itself, it was pretty typical bagged peppermint. Not as great a fresh-picked mint, but I've had much staler, dull tasting mints.
Ugh. This is just bad bad bad. It smells and tastes overwhelmingly of fake strawberry flavor. The lemongrass doesn't come through at all and what small green tea flavor peeks out is of poor quality. I barely choked this down. I would have poured it out but didn't want to waste the caffeine.
The ass-kicker of all peppermint teas, and one of those longest in production. This tea has been around long before World Wars and our grandparents. Its a moroccan style mint tea— in other words it can be brewed as strong as coffee and sweetened to the point that it would keep any dentist in business.
You may opt to brew it long or short, and its mintiness will expand or dimish accordingly. I generally find one tea bag strong enough to make a full liter of tea.
Medicinally-speaking this tea is wonderful for an upset stomach and will even mildly numb a toothache, there's that much peppermint oil in the infusion. I use it as an oncoming cold remedy, and even herbalist medicine says 'it works!'
Not bad for a tea that combines lemongrass with mint. I expected it wouldn't be very good, because it seems so easy for lemongrass teas to go wrong, and mint teas often taste pretty bad. The use of spearmint keeps it fresh, and the lemony flavours keep it from tasting too leafy. Light, fresh, upbeat.
Fora supermarket quality herbal tea, this is unexpectedly delicious! Maybe I just like it so much because when I was growing up, I drank a lot of blackcurrant and apple juice, and Ribena. I don't know, but it tastes really good to me. It's a lot like what you'd probably expect less sweet, hot apple and blackcurrant juice to taste like. That maybe doesn't sound so good, but this is yummy.

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — This is supposed to be the dawn of a new era in Toronto, where the Raptors have a new executive running things (Tim Leiweke), a new general manager (Masai Ujiri), and a new "global ambassador" in place (Drake). This new brain trust is going to try and turn things around, to help the Raptors organization improve from their recent struggles. But alas, one key member of the Raptors organization will apparently have to sit this season out.
According to a report in the Toronto Star, the Raptors mascot, known simply as The Raptor, is out for the season after suffering a torn achilles tendon during a Raptors training camp appearance in Halifax. The organization confirmed the bad news via Twitter…
Wishing @the_raptor a speedy recovery after his injury. Can't wait to see the best in the business back on court. #Raptors #RTZ—
Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) October 09, 2013
"I called him, I talked to him Friday night," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said during his postgame remarks last night. "I was disappointed. My daughter cried, you know, she was upset. He's a good man. He'll bounce back. He's in good hands with the physicians. The Raptor will be back, he will be back. We need his spirit.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who is still without a long-term contract with the team, took questions on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike show Tuesday morning. Giving few details on the contract front, Brees didn't shy from questions about the Saints bounty program and the NFL's investigation of the alleged program.
Brees said his side and Saints management are having "ongoing discussions," but quickly added, "You would think that this process should be a lot simpler than it is. It just always seems to be complicated."
Without commenting on when a long-term deal would be struck, Brees would only say he was "very confident a long-term deal would get done, and hopefully that will happen sooner rather later."
Mike Golic asked Brees the question that looms for many: Will the quarterback report to training camp if a long-term deal isn't completed before July 16 at 3 p.m.?
Brees declined to answer, only saying, "That's about a month and half away. Lot of time between then and now. I'm just working on getting something done."
Actually, the deadline is 20 days away.
Bounty Investigation, a Black Eye
Brees called the league's handling of the bounty investigation "very disappointing; it's been embarrassing, not just for the league, but for all of us that are associated with the league. This is a black eye."
It was process that investigators went about that Brees questioned.
"As you've seen the process unfold, I think it becomes more and more clear the NFL had a pre-determined conclusion that they wanted the investigation to turn up and everything was geared in the investigation toward that. As opposed to, let's just gather the facts and make sure we have reliable evidence before we start throwing around accusations."
With careers and reputations on the line for players like Jonathan Vilma, Brees asked that all of evidence of the bounty program against those players and coaches be made available by the league.
With the evidence that has been made public by the NFL, Brees said, "The only thing that has been proven is there was a lot of tough talk" -- a reference to then-defensive coordinator Greg Williams' fiery pre-game speech that was recorded before playoff game with the San Francisco 49ers. Williams was heard telling players to "Kill the head and the body will die" of the opposing team.
"People just want to know the truth," said Brees. "I think the American public and fans are tired of hearing about this. They just want to know the truth."
