Hompaya 'bowls' first ball
MONTEGO BAY, St James: French up-and-coming reggae artiste Ben Hompaya left the island recently after recording his debut single, Love Universally, a collaborative effort with local dancehall act Cassafyah.
Hompaya — whose real name is Benoit Hansen — described the single as a prayer, calling for people to refrain from their evil ways and live together in "true love and harmony".
The Frenchman, who hails from Annecy, said he was introduced to the genre at an early age in his homeland, where there are a number of reggae fans.
"When I was 15, I was listening different music and I started to listen to reggae. The more I listened it, was the better I felt. It played at parties and concerts in Annecy, Alps in the mountain of France. There are a lot of reggae fans there," Hompaya said.
During a promotional tour with Cassafyah for the single in Montego Bay recently, Hompaya — who is a trained engineer — disclosed that he left his native land three years ago on a soul-searching journey.
"I have travelled to Africa, South America, and other countries, on a spiritual search to understand the truth of humanity better," Hompaya saidd, adding that his path and Cassafya's were pre-destined to cross.
"I found many things on the trip. I met many people and many cultures which explained many different things of many different religion," he said.
He expressed his desire to perform on festivals to spread the reggae message to the world before returning to the island in December to perform of Sting.
Meanwhile, Cassafya is one of the opening acts on dancehall night at Sumfest.

Feeling nutty?? Good for you! Letâs go green and gather some natural beads into our baskets. Beads from nature have an appeal all their own. They give off a different vibe than machine made processed beads of glass or crystal. And since natural beads are so light in weight you can really pile them on. Summer is the perfect time to don some of these beauties.
Rosewood, bayong, palmwood, robles, bamboo, sandalwood...there are so many. And the variations in the patterns are so diverse. And you can get pretty much whatever you can dream up. The shapes are endless. And whatâs cool about wood is that you can alter it to be what you want. Dye it, color it, draw on it⦠it takes really good to color in its natural form. Then spray it with sealant to make it permanent. You can burn a pattern into wood, or etch into also. Then you can paint it and rub the surface clean for the image to stand out. Or do the opposite and paint the relief. Wood is really beautiful and under-rated. It screams nature and pairs well with any other natural bead.
Shells have such color! Mother of pearl and abalone are bursting with the spectrum. Every shape, size and color is available to swim right into your design pool. If youâre the DIY type then you can comb the beaches in search of the perfect shell. Its can be wrapped or drilled with care: read a previous blog called How to Drill Holes in Cabochons and More to be safe while drilling at home.
These pearls come from freshwater mussels and are mostly cultivated in China, although there are pearls being made in our homeland today, in Tennessee. True. Pearls today can resemble anything from a rice krispie to a perfect round and everything between. And one thing I really love about these stunners is that theyâre affordable. If you find a shape you like thatâs out of your price range, you may be able to search for one in a bit of a lesser quality and be able to acquire it. Pearls can be beads or pendants or cabs and have so much design potential.
These beads are not your perfect glass seed beads manufactured in Japan or Czech-land. Theyâre the real thing! Nuts, seeds and pods from foliage growing in the rain forest and other tropical areas make spectacular beads. Even apple seeds can be beautiful. Talk about color. Get right up close to a buri nut or a palm seed and youâll be surprised at how much variation there is in there. Really pretty. Its easy to see them as filler beads, but I think they deserve the spotlight!
Shudder! Real bone??? Yes, its true. Beads made from bone today are typically made from cow or camel bone and are made in India. These beads are easily manipulated. If you want it to be darker with a nice brown or blackened brown color, then soak it in tea, coffee or dark soda for a few hours. It will continue to darken if you leave it in longer. If you want it to be brighter, soak it in 1 part bleach to 7 parts water. Or if you want color, use Rit dye. See? You can have what you want!
Beep! Beep! Horn is GORGEOUS! Have you ever held it up to the light? It resembles carnelian in all itâs lusciousness. There are many shapes to be had, and the tones can range from ivory to amber to carnelian. This just seems like a luxurious bead to me. It especially looks good against bare skin and if youâve got a tan...whoooo nelly!
You can change the color of your beads if you wish. Most natural beads take to dyes pretty readily and its something you can do right at home in an afternoon. Buy a selection of dyes that are over the counter. Rit works great and is available at the grocery store. Before you do a large quantity of beads, do a color test first. You never know what youâre getting in the end with natural beads. Some surfaces are very porous like bone, and others are smoother like shells. You can soak the beads longer if you wish for a more potent shade. You can dye them while theyâre loose or strung. Note that there will be more pigment where the holes are if youâre dying them as strands. Just remember to read the directions and follow them. Wear protective gear to be safe, also.
Yes, I said it. Potato beads. These are fun, natural beads you can make yourself at home and theyâre very cool to use in your jewelry. Hereâs how: Peel a potato and cut it into cubes, rectangles or whatever shape you want. Make sure to make each piece bigger than what you want the end result to be. Now, Slide them onto skewers and stab the skewer into a piece of styrofoam to allow the potatoes to dry. This process will take about a week, and I recommend that you turn the potatoes once a day to make sure they donât stick to the skewer. After a week theyâll be dried funky little shaped beads. You can paint them with acrylic paints and then seal them with Krylon spray or another sealant. Gloss works great. String away!! FYI...these make radical beaded curtains if you put colorful beads in between them.
Hemp is a cool stringing material. You can weave it, braid it, tie it and knot it. And it comes in a lot of colors. Silk cords are fantastic for stringing and donât really need much on them! Just a lovely centerpiece and youâve got instant gorgeousness. Silk cording comes in a variety of colors and can be dyed again if you wish do tackle it at home.
So go basic. Get green. Be in touch with your inner Adam or Eve. And enjoy the beauty of nature in beading.

Earlier this year Owens said he did interview other applicants from within North Carolina and one from Florida.

Well this is definitely one of the most visually cohesive red carpets we've seen in a while.
At yesterday's CW, CBS And Showtime 2013 Summer TCA Party we get the feeling that that the majority of attendees had some sort of "I'll wear my black dress and my blue nail polish, you wear your white dress with the blue sequins" arrangement. Or at least there was some sort of memo specifying a 'crisp, monochromatic dresses and separates spiked with pops of off-primary colors'.
Kat Dennings, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Cobie Smulders and Megan Ory were anything but boring in black and white, while Rachel Bilson, Lizzy Caplan and Anna Faris injected cooled-down shades of red, yellow and blue. Even Kat's nails were in on it. She and Beth Behr might just be our new favorite red carpet BFFs. Though, whether she's flanked by Aubrey Plaza or flying solo, we'll always have eyes for Rachel Bilson. Her sheer and heavily sequined 3.1 Phillip Lim frock is more of a stand-alone number anyway.
But while we get that Tyra Mail is a one-way communication system, could someone have found another way to warn this woman about the 'summer' thing? Tyra really has perfected the smize though, so let's all focus on that instead of her
giant cleavage tassel earrings and stage makeup.

Costa Concordia Tragedy
Rescue operations for the stricken Costa Concordia were suspended on Friday. A meeting was held today will probably make the decision on whether or not to call off the search. The ships captain, Francesco Schettino's integrity is also being questioned. The captain did not provide adequate warning of the ships situation until it was too late, and also fled the ship before the majority if passengers had left, leaving the ships crew and staff in charge of ensuring the safety of those on board. The tragedy last week left 14 people dead with as many as 21 still missing.
New Taser Study
The use of tasers represents a new form of "urban terrorism" states a new study surrounding the deaths of two dozen deaths in Canada involving tasers. The report states that those most likely to get tased include the poor, mentally ill, and chronic drug users. Not everyone agrees with it though as Steve Tuttle, a spokesperson for Taser International in Arizona said, the study reads more like a social commentary and falsely implies that Tasers caused all the deaths examined, "The report is woefully out of touch regarding the realities facing Canadian law and enforcement, he said. While the authors of the report stated that Taser use on the downtrodden has led to a very unhealthy mistrust, dread and fear of the police akin to the way members of the public are terrified by terrorist attacks". The study reviewed 26 fatalities across the country in which a Taser was involved, including the high profile death of Robert Dziekanski, who was killed at Vancouver International airport.

Cricket in Times Square
AudioFile Reviews 1996 January
When Chester, a musically talented country cricket from Connecticut, is accidentally transported to the 42nd Street Subway Station in New York City, he finds shelter in a newsstand and makes friends with Mario, a young boy, Tucker the Mouse and Harry the Cat. All the warmth and humor of this Newbery Honor animal adventure are heightened by actor Rene Auberjonois's expressive reading. Vocal characterizations are superb-just right for soft-spoken Chester, fast-talking Tucker and streetwise Harry. The brief passages of music for Chester's performances are delightfully cricket-like and charming. Could anything be better than reading Selden's The Cricket in Times Square? Yes, listening to this audio performance. C.R.A. Copyright 1999 AudioFile Reviews

Where like on cross site the guy like you'll want cyber instead of getting in the middle blading getting all that shot -- Really those kinds of things have been relatively. Minor compared to what we're expecting does a pretty good. -- -- what hasn't been relatively minor the performance. Doug Hamilton and and I'm I'm just obsessed with this story because it felt like there was a gap there somewhere I don't know if it was a lockout. I missed the stage of his development I thought he was a year away you're half season away. What happened wasn't he supposed to take a little more time before it got to the point. Well a pleasant surprise he's been so far. Like. You know they knew they knew they had in this skit. That's about it classes I've ever seen -- surely -- that he was in shape and are hurt but -- if you. When -- When they saw and Hamilton was available at number nine overall. Surely early ram. To the podium to selective in 2011. This is the guy who. What I'm sure. Impact or -- others -- two time Olympic -- is moderate is an Olympic basketball player -- represented Canada. He is a very Smart kid is average his senior year. In high school in a physics and chemistry were -- 97%. So it's not a -- made any assumptions you know. -- a super jock at age twelve I don't have to work hard I don't have to do any of that and he would sit home more sake I'll. He wants the war and get better every day she's 6511990. Elegant and Oprah Puget -- twenty. And nineties he's got the attitude in the brain to the body to be a real star in this league and yeah you know we spoke to take longer or that equity plan to launch sites they don't Chara. Effort to be your first three and a short games -- look a little better than and you should be your conferences are pretty high but. What the -- we'll take it. Now I wanna ask you about that part you know at 199 now in the ceiling is 215 to two money. Well that look like on the nicely right now. Is his game being held back a bit because he's. He's he hasn't filled out yet and we does a lot of does he become a different player -- and I -- it's speculation but what do you think. Not much different but a courtside he's -- -- the quarter against big winners and he's bounced off the check yet necessarily lost the battle but. It's been kind of you know that executive desk toward polish and you know or does that sort ball bounce off each other. But. I think you're gonna see when he's. 34 years into his career and he's really gotten what they called man of strong in the dressing room. You're gonna see guys just go flying because. There that the leverage -- his body he checkered white shoulder such horrific frame. And he's very well proportionately. Put on net that trunk and upper body strength that NHL defensemen do that you're gonna see a lot more leverage working in its favor. And he he I doubt he'll lose any skating speed it is still maturing. Physically. And and you're gonna get stronger and and much stronger throughout his body. And it's not gonna get better Q which is. Great thanks. Our partner in on that Porter last night that. You know he has a real short take back on its on a slap shot which means he gets it off in a hurry and still get. About 90% of the maximum speed on it you know you don't have to hear it back scratching slap shot. And by having short take back you you price cut about a half a second -- your preparation time so. Go out policy on for nineteen year old -- I said talked about the shape that these guys were in the one guided didn't look like he was in. Hockey shaped more like sports talk show shape was Milan Lucic. And yet in the three games he's used his body effectively. And last night planting himself in the crease. I came up with a big on that goal so. Is the extra weight that he's carrying. Is that actually a plus for. You know. -- real economy you'll steered -- And I can remember. But. Jerry extra weight right Jack I what is the vehicle -- epic you know what the guys driving the net right now. You know whatever works for -- exit and you know maybe he's one of those guys that if he gets all the leaks are. That's not exactly where he wants to be you know maybe he's maybe he's a better athlete. If he's got a little bit extra on there and you know I'm not saying he's got to say I don't think he looked real slow I don't think you look behind the play. And again that anything. He's played like all that China shop in all the guys on the right to the net and people can't stop them from getting there. After a couple of games here's among the league leaders in hits that you want leading the league and and you know he's he's looking like the kind of robust player that is the brand name of the Boston Globe and so wherever you go they keep -- -- before I get my next question a text there was really fascinated by use of the phrase man strong. The -- says -- baker cola this man strong. -- -- -- -- If if if the CJ you -- you Jarrett Jack not Jack the advice I would not -- -- I don't Bart -- where's the woman ideas don't. I didn't have anything to do all summer so what an act of -- on the suspect list. A word got into the broadcaster 500000. Hours matured now and asked did you did you view last night's game I know it was a big deal in New York this is a must win for the Rangers to look at it that wakes up having a hard time even with the shortened schedules shortened season. Having a hard time developing a sense of urgency after it reported well before the game just yes. Or -- you think Jack. Well. So we've learned about the NHL is that. You can get in streets and you can get in Iraq. And when you believe in yourself as a team. Teams start winning games you know all sorts of ways and we saw that with the Bruins in that ridiculous 212. On one stretch that they were unsure. But it -- walk into a camera or what but. They you know they they were just open and one cannot -- that's after another on teams and it seemed that nothing anybody can you can stop them. And then so then snapped the spell over that short Christmas break and they just started playing lackadaisical hockey. And it took them almost until the end of this season to get back to that style of robots play. And then Washington he wrote the book by playing negative in the playoffs so. Any time he lost to her role in the NHL you're worried. It was a legitimate worry on the part of the Rangers. More people around the NHL expected the Rangers to come out exactly the way they did. They executed beautifully they literally were more prepared team played mentally in the first. Six or seven minutes and quote timeout reset it for the broad in the broad -- a lot of a lot of gumption to come back and they get a point other game but if if they think they can get away with playing Italy team 53 out of the first sixty minutes -- wrong there I don't think it through. How much do you think -- going after. Brian -- how much do you think that that won't come up. A look at look in fact I think what I treated -- you know it is Brian Boyle. Dot org or double fault because there was clearly after the whistle and -- and the take back in the need to go with -- like the fort. With a shot and you know for me. I I was a little disappointed in the excruciating because. It would likely to shop that's far after the whistle and it's an opponent on the floor. -- or imports also cute smile on an interstate -- you know there must not heard that whistle. Everything that is our status and kicked it -- addicted and guy's career certainly industry and by doing that there are so many. Cases of broken bones on the part defensemen out glad -- took matters into his own and and I tweeted that it was worth the extra Q and yeah it didn't help to wake up because this is help. To continue to show or what kind of robust style liberal and -- and it -- 99% of the time the Rangers play that way you know there aren't there are too many incidents that you see that are like that would senior. I go to to the season the biggest question was going to beat Tuukka Rask and probably still has been through three games -- He's been exceptional. Especially at the end of regulation and it came last night Nash and then. -- both had opportunities and he just the -- don't. Talk about his size and weight. Okay that he's a pretty thin guy and that. We've seen the past Jack where he's been great for 2530 games that he gets beyond that is that an issue -- -- -- -- couldn't think of guys that are. That are smaller guys smaller framed guys that if -- had the the door ability to it to do over a longer period time. Yeah and you know that the question is going to linger with sugar -- I think maybe the solution is which is -- -- you know. That'll work but. I yeah. There are. There are players who Wear down especially younger ones and there are guys. Who have had. To this type of frame move move those kind of issues in the past and were really -- -- real answer that question and so we. Get into. Mid April it starts winding down in the last couple weeks of the season and and we see if you look -- -- -- -- -- -- for surrogates but in the first three games. That's been everything that that everybody expected to see -- so technically sound. I know what that sequence flat but it warriors actually using his three orbit the pressed against the back of the goal is great keep. The impetus of the charging Rangers then. -- falling Bruins defenseman from watching the clock across a lot. Is the ability to stay level headed. In that time of crisis is really beautiful site. You were you were fearful when we're gonna find some angle at which the thing slips throw but he was unbelievable. On the other hand I'm hearing left -- really was in such good position that I think she would rule that she had blown it dead before the park across a wide anyway because you reached so. Clearing his signal that it was no goal so I felt pretty confident that even if they saw part over the line everywhere so our look at that. -- great start to the season's first three games playoff atmosphere allies that we look -- targeting everywhere it we'll do it again next week have a -- -- What import -- -- but are jacked Edward's right you're out of action.

[Bika-Codrington] was one of most action-packed fights of 2007, but Codrington, 24, probably will never be the same. That Gill, who has a terrible record, was competitive with Codrington until being stopped with three seconds left should tell you just how much Codrington has deteriorated. His handlers, Jeff Wald of Tournament of Contenders and Lou DiBella, don't want Codrington to fight anymore and believe he'll retire. If Codrington does, he should walk away with his head held high -- he gave fight fans compelling TV during his season on "The Contender" and one of the most memorable fights you'll ever see.Dan Rafael's Scorecard If Codrington really leaves the game at 24, that's a shame. But Wald and DiBella are both smart guys, and if they are that concerned about Jaidon, they're probably right. Here's hoping Jaidon finds himself and sticks around, because I like the guy, but if he doesn't, I echo Mr. Rafael's statement -- his career, while short, will have been pretty memorable.

Rose Namajunas is so much more than a famous girlfriend.
We've all seen the goofy videos they post on Twitter, or particularly Pat Barry's insane reaction while cornering Namajunas during her fights, but "The Thug" is 100 percent for real.
It takes some serious skill to pull off one of 2013's finest submissions, a 12 second flying armbar of Kathina Catron at Invicta FC 5.
Not too shabby for her second professional fight.
Namajunas will face her stiffest test to date tonight (July 13, 2013) when she takes on fellow top unbeaten prospect Tecia Torres in the opening bout of the Invicta FC 6 pay-per-view main card in Kansas City, Missouri.
The talented 21-year old strawweight spoke to MMAmania.com during a guest appearance on The Verbal Submission talking about the emotional cost of fighting, preparing for her toughest opponent and even sensory deprivation tanks in this exclusive interview.
Check it out:
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): We've all seen the videos of Pat going crazy in your corner when you're competing inside the Invicta cage. Is it just as stressful for you when he's stepping into the Octagon?
Rose Namajunas: Yeah, it's actually kind of funny because the last time he fought was the first time of me being there in person to see it live. All the other times it's been way worse because I wasn't in control. I wasn't able to talk to him that much during the whole fight week but last time I was able to be there with him and I was a lot more calm and relaxed and I wasn't as worried going into this one as I was in some of the other ones, thinking "Oh, how does he feel? blah, blah, blah," stuff like that. This one, I still was going a bit crazy but it wasn't as extreme as when I was at home.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Pat's result in his last fight wasn't optimal. Do you feel like you almost need to go crazy a bit to give him that extra amount of support?
Rose Namajunas: Nah, I don't think I have too much affect on his performance if at all. As long as I'm not a huge bitch or something. (laughs)
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You have a very bubbly personality with the fun videos we've all seen, almost happy-go-lucky, but you're a completely different person when it's time to step into the cage. What's the process like for you of getting into character?
Rose Namajunas: I think it's just a day to day type of thing that we practice all the time in training. We definitely have our serious moments and we also have our sit back laughing and joking moments. They aren't mutually exclusive. They switch back and forth all the time. I don't know if I believe in zodiac signs or things like that but somebody said that Cancers are really emotional and I'm definitely an emotional person.
I kind of channel whatever I'm feeling at that moment, I use that to empower me and give me energy. At weigh-ins I'm usually really serious and then leading up to the fight as well. I have other personalities as well. You can use a loving personality, a happy and energetic personality to boost you and drive you but for me, it always tends to be more serious side come fight time but I can flip the switch real quick.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Now were you just in a really impatient mood for the last fight? Is that why it only lasted 12 seconds?
Rose Namajunas: (laughs) Well I guess in some ways I'm impatient. It's actually kind of funny that you say that.. I'm actually an impatient person. My personality, I just want the results right now in every aspect of my life. That's just something that Pat and I work out with each other because he's actually the extreme opposite and we compliment each other.
For the last fight, I wasn't so much impatient as I had a sense of urgency. My ankle was really injured and maybe subconsciously I knew in the back of my mind that I had to end it quickly because I didn't know how stable my ankle would be. At the same time, if I could end it in five seconds every time that would be ideal. You don't want to sit there and wait the whole time. Regardless of the circumstances, if I could end it quick that would be great.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Many view that submission as one of 2013's finest. Who's really been helping you take your Brazilian jiu-jitsu to the next level?
Rose Namajunas: I've worked with Greg Nelson ever since I moved to Minnesota. Greg Nelson is the shit. Pardon my French but he explains jiu-jitsu in a way that's not just jiu-jitsu oriented but also MMA-oriented and it really makes a whole lot of sense to me. It just clicked and I feel like my jiu-jitsu and overall MMA game has just gone to a whole 'nother level ever since going there.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): The stakes have increased with each one of your fights. Where do you think you stand as you head into this upcoming bout against fellow 2-0 prospect Tecia Torres?
Rose Namajunas: It's actually a weird dynamic with every fight being a bigger fight each time and how it's gradually increasing. At the same time, it's always the same leading up to it. If every fight is the same as the last fight, you have to treat it the same. It's always going to be the biggest fight. My new experience level with more knowledge, more conditioning and strength also plays into it. It kind of levels out to where it was the last time. Yes, my opponent is at a new level, but I'm also at a new level as a fighter because of my personal growth. It keeps me from plateauing.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Many experts have you and Tecia pegged as the top two prospects at 115 pounds. Are you surprised that you're both getting matched up against each other just three fights into your pro careers?
Rose Namajunas: No, I kind of foresaw this fight happening before I even got into Invicta. Ever since I was coming up in the amateur ranks I noticed her and heard about her so I knew this fight was inevitable. I was thinking I'd actually get her for my last fight but they felt Kathina was the fight they wanted me to have and now I have Tecia.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Now after a fight, it's not just a physical adrenaline dump, I've heard fighters also experience an emotional dump. Like all those last three months of hard work entirely focused on this one moment and now it's over. Can you take me through what's going through your head right after a fight's over?
Rose Namajunas: Yeah, oh my god. It's a feeling that's really hard to explain, especially after the last one. It's kinda like a surreal feeling. You need a week to really sort things out, go over what happened and convince yourself and believe it just happened. It's hard really form into words and grasp what is going on. Maybe a big sense of relief and at the same time, you're still stuck in the moment. When you're in the cage, you're really stuck in the moment and there's so many things outside the cage that don't matter at all when you're in there. So when you get out of such a live and present moment, it's kinda hard to not stay in that because you're sort of living in the past almost.
I might sound crazy right now but you kinda want to keep revisiting that moment and the farther you get from the fight, the more that feeling changes and the more your thoughts change on the fight. Overall, though, it's a sense of relief and a struggle between stopping to smell the roses and moving on to the next step. You don't want to hold onto it too much but you also want to appreciate what just happened.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Okay, this question has nothing to do with MMA. What's the strangest experience you've ever had while in a sensory deprivation tank?
Rose Namajunas: Oh man. Now, I feel like I've done it so many times, it's kind of a normal experience for me. I feel like I'm trying to figure that out, that anyone else who's done sensory deprivation tanks has experienced that. If they have, let me know so I don't feel like I'm going crazy. Other than the lights and the noises, it's just that numb feeling where you can't really feel your body and you don't really know where you're at. That's creepy and weird but at the same time it's a really euphoric and relaxing feeling as well.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): What are you expecting against Tecia Torres?
Rose Namajunas: Well I'm expecting a win in my favor. I'm not gonna go for the decision so whether it's by submission or knockout, I prefer knockout. I feel the chances of this fight ending on the feet are greater than ending on the ground. That's where I see it going.
Rose would like to thank Cage Potato, Fear the Fighter, Alienware, Brian Butler, Invicta, Pat Barry, Greg Nelson, Trevor Wittman, everyone at Grudge and The Academy, her mom, her family, her fans and anyone else who's helped her get to where she's at today. You can follow her on Twitter @RoseNamajunas.

THIS is New York City?????
There's more to New York than just Manhattan. On the northern edge of the city, in what we call "Bronx on the Hudson," is a suburban oasis of homes, trees, and quiet. This is DekeWorld.
So take a moment.
It's time to slow down, lean back, relax....
it's just you, your computer and TheDeke.
What's New at DekeWorld?
A summary of the latest additions to the
site. Find out what's new without scouring the World.
My earliest confirmed Kenfield ancestor so far is William Kentfield, a British soldier stationed in Albany, New York in 1700. Here's his story -- completewith mutiny, court martial, and desertion. There are those who will say it runs in the family.....
My great-great-great-great-grandfather George "The Elder" Kentfield
was born in Massachusetts, fought in the
Revolution , and settled in what is now Morristown,
Vermont in 1793. His son Asaph was the first male of Europeanancestry
born in that town. On Februray 5, 1999 the Rosetta
Stone was discovered at the local Family History Center. I have identified
the exact location of the 100 acre farm on which George The Elder settled
in 1793 .Here's
the scoop . It took us ten years
to find out where George was buried.
Then another year to get decent photos.
Capt. Frank Kenfield, my first cousin
four times removed (that's a first cousin, four generations ago).
He commanded Company E, Thirteenth Regiment Vermont Volunteers in the repulse
of Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. Later, President of the Vermont
Maple Sugar Makers Association.
Our other Civil War veteran, Benjamin Kenfield, my great-great-grandfather. He enlisted at age 40 and served as a private in the 11th Regiment, Vermont Volunteers. It's amazing what you can find out about your ancestors. And their involvement in the lumber business .
Here's the rest of my family tree. Only
about 1,000 people so far. I've got a long way to go.
And here's TheDekessa's family tree. She's
her own tenth cousin. And sixth cousin. And fifth cousin.

We've also got a world-class library, of course: The
New York Public Library -- one of my favorite places in New York. You
can search part of the card
catalog online via Telnet or the Web. I prefer the Telnet link-
it's text-based and much faster, but you need a Telnet client. You may
already have it, built into your browser. The Library, recently restored
to its original beauty, is a must-see for genealogists and researchers
visiting NewYork.

Irish genealogy is unusually difficult -- most of the records burned
during the Civil War in the 1920s. But if you're researching in in
Cork or Kerry, you're in luck -- Albert Casey's 16-volume O'Kief,Coshe
Slieve Lougher and the Upper Blackwater in Ireland , is a real treasure
trove. Everything from ancient legends to newspaper birth notices
to land sale records to cemetery transcriptions. Here's the Table
of Contents, courtesy of the Irish
Genealogical Society International.
Need to know more about a townland in Ireland? A parish? Barony?
How many acres are there in Ballymoney, anyway? The
IreAtlas Townland Data Base. Not finished yet, but already a
great resource.
If your ancestors are from New England, you absolutely must, you must
get acquainted with the New England Historic
Genealogical Society. Unbeatable.
Civil War buffs - how much do you know about the Vermont regiments? Vermont units suffered the highest casualty rates, on a per-capita basis, in the entire Union army. This is a superb site, including details of all the Vermont units and searchable databases of Vermont soldiers.
And if you've ever wondered about how they built fortifications during
the Civil War, here's the fort where my great-great-grandfather served:
Fort Totten.
Working on Canada? Here's the Provincial
Archives of New Brunswick. Other provinces have more or less
similar sites. The NB Archives makes for a pleasant visit, if you
happen to be in Fredericton.
Think you've got a Mayflower ancestor, like TheDekessa? The General
Society of Mayflower Descendants, better known as the MayflowerSociety.

And what would a New York genealogy site be without Ellis
Island? Well worth a visit. A boat ride from Battery Park
in lower Manhattan. The same boat goes to the Statue of Liberty.
(Go early in the day to beat the lines.) Get your tickets at Castle
Garden, the old round fort at the north end of the park.
USENET is even better than the Web as a resource for genealogy. Check
out the alt.genealogy and soc.genealogy hierarchies. If you aren't
familiar with Usenet, check it out here. (Well, it will be there
as soon as I find a suitable site. The ones I've seen are either
too simplistic, too technical, or too commercial. Anyone got a site
which explains Usenet in a manner suitable for Usenet newbies?)

Larry Little
Height: 6-1 Weight: 265 Age: 64
Born: 11/2/1945 Groveland, GA
College: Bethune-Cookman
Experience: 14 Seasons
(Chargers 1967 – 1968… Dolphins 1969 – 1980)
Hall of Fame Induction: 1993
A few days ago I started a short post called Alpha-Bits. I don't know where this is really going or if I will even do anything more. But for now here's another short story of another Miami Dolphins player, who also, was not originally drafted by them, but was a major contributor to the most winning and "Perfect" team.
I dedicate this "Bit" to Uncle Finster, who may not only remember this famed guard, but because he is the first on the Phinsider to bring up a guard as an option in the draft with Mike Iupati of Idaho.
What I remember most of Larry was seeing him in "sweep type" plays. He just seemed unbelievable leading the way as a pulling guard for each of Miami's famed backs. He was only 265 pounds, imagine that. With guards now 50, 60, 70 even 100 pounds heavier now, but then, corners were tinier and linebackers were around 200… lol.
With that, I leave you with the following…

"Larry Little, unlike many highly touted Miami Dolphins stars of the 1970s, began his career in 1967 as an unheralded free agent with the San Diego Chargers.
Just before the 1969 campaign, however, he was traded to the Dolphins and it wasn't long before the 6-1, 265-pound guard was being praised as one of the National Football League's premier offensive linemen.
"I didn't particularly like the trade," Little said in the January 1974 issue of SPORT magazine. "The Dolphins weren't much then."
Little was a key contributor to the success of the Dolphins' punishing running attack of the early and mid 1970's, which featured Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris, and Jim Kiick.
A fixture at right guard during the 1970s when the Dolphins were a dominant team in pro football Little was the embodiment of the intimidating force of the famed Miami rushing attack.
A superb pass blocker, awesome on the scrimmage line and especially effective as the lead man on the powerful Dolphin sweeps."
At about the 1:45 time, I think of the Patriots and LMAO!
Enjoy him…

Am I the only one who thinks something is just off about this potential move to Anaheim? I don't think it is a Blake Griffin style slam-dunk. I don't think it is inevitability. I don't think all hope has been vanquished.
With each new tidbit of news and commentary, including the latest ICON study delay, the collective mood seems to grow more somber, negative sentiment spreading like an epidemic, and resignation of departure near complete. To this I say, 'Go tell Tyreke Evans it is over with 1.5 seconds and down by a point!'
Anything is possible. Serious discussions are just an exchange of hot air without a laugh track. I'll take my news in the form of official press release, not a twitter feed. I am not sure the Maloofs have decided what to do yet, and if they have tentative plans, they may change their hearts and/or minds at the 11th hour, aka April 18th.
Until official word, I will try to put myself in the shoes of Joe and Gavin and ask myself 'what would I do if I was them?" "How would I think and act if I was in the same position?" And knowing what I know about their decision-making process with significant moves in the past, I will try to answer the question "What is their likely course of action?" After some contemplation, these are the sticking points that stuck:
To make a move of this magnitude, it has to be a no-brainer. I would not want to leave a city, generate a tremendous level of animosity from a betrayed fan base, and live to regret the decision. I would not want that on my conscience for another 20 to 30 years if I knew in my heart that I might have acted negligently. There has to be overwhelming list of pros outweighing the cons to turn my back on a city so faithful and supportive, and bonded through shared experience of Kings seasons past.
As such, moving to Anaheim is not a no-brainer decision for the following Blobtastic (c) reasons:
(1) There is not a new building awaiting the Maloofs and the Kings. The Honda Center was built almost two decades ago. It is Arco with a facelift. Or since we are talking SoCal post March 1st, it is PBP with Botox injections.
Blobtastic Reason #1: Simply, an old arena is not ideal, and it is not overwhelming motivation to get up and depart.
If a brand spanking new, beautiful state of the art facility was vacant, open for business, and ready to be christened with a bottle of the $6000 bubbly from the Carls Jr. commercial, I could not blame them. No such allure waits.
The wealthy like shiny new toys. The Honda Center is not a shiny new toy. It is a Tonka truck dragged through the mud, and pissed upon by the family pet. Sure, it may have been rinsed off in the kitchen sink and presented as playable, but it is not an unopened X-Mas gift wrapped in a purple and black velvet bow.
(2) The Anaheim fans are not waiting with outstretched arms for NBA basketball. They are too busy texting on their Blackberries in stop-and-barely-go traffic while cupping $5 lattes to welcome the Maloofs with warm embrace. Further they have two NBA alternatives within reasonable commute.
If there were a sizeable and long-standing Anaheim coalition rallying to attract an NBA club, it would make the allure that much more tempting. Rabid fans eager to fill the arena on Opening Night and thereafter would undoubtedly woo the Maloofs, and provide added incentive. No such group exists. The Maloofs reception would be far from momentous.
Anaheim is not Seattle. Spurned Sonic fans would likely throw a downtown ticker tape parade, give the players the keys to the city, and shower them with affection upon Day One of their arrival. If the same displays of appreciation could be anticipated in Anaheim, tapping into the Maloofs fundamental desires to feel wanted and loved, then warm-up the moving vans.
Yet will excitement in Anaheim be at fever pitch over the arrival of a team with a five-year lottery run when two-time defending NBA champs are next-door neighbors? Heck no or hell no. Take your pick. A largely indifferent to mildly enthused fan base will greet the Maloofs and their team.
Blobtastic Reason #2: A lukewarm reception is not ideal, and it is not overwhelming motivation to get up and depart.
(3) Ownership of facility. Last time I checked, profit could be maximized when you can stake majority ownership in business property. And can proudly call it your own. Then you are the boss. You call the shots. You answer to no one, but the financial indebtedness to your creditors. You incur more risk as owner, but you reap more gain as profit potential expands and multiple revenue streams flow.
The Maloofs built the Palms casino. They added a couple of hotel towers at cost upward of 100 million dollars. Are these businessmen that want to rent and answer to a landlord? Is this secondary status consistent with their investment history? Do the Maloofs want to play tenant following a decade of runnin' the joint?
Renting has to be deemed as a step backwards for the Maloofs by several to all within their inner circle. And while a rent obligation will reduce their expenses relative to a mortgage, the loss of prestige, status and profit potential once the economy inevitably emerges from the recession will be further realized. Other revenue sources including the rumored sizeable TV deal, luxury suites, and corporate sponsors may more than compensate, and renting may be their best option if, in fact, their finances are as precarious as speculated.
Still, relinquishing ownership of your entertainment and playing facility is a small potatoes move to guys accustomed to lavish buffet spreads.
Blobtastic Reason #3: Renting vs. owning your facility is not ideal. It does not cater to the collective ego of the Maloofs. It does not fit their entrepreneurial vision. It is not overwhelming motivation to get up and depart.
(4) The Kings are about to get good, finally. This team is ready to turn a corner: two young stars, a promising deadline trade, a pending high draft pick, and a ton of cap space.
The Kings are close, really close to winning. Once two more very good players are added to this roster, feasible this off-season, then the rebuild is virtually complete. The team will take off, not towards a championship at first, but to the playoffs, respectability and wide appeal.
The Maloofs have always been optimists, even when unjustified. With the accumulation of young and talented assets, the reason for optimism is real this time, confirmable from Joe and Gavin's own courtside view, and credible appraisal from trusted GM Geoff Petrie.
So, if the Kings add a few more wins next year, say, even doubling their win total to near 40, would it even matter?
With a Vegas bettor's mentality, the Maloofs could wager their last stack of chips that an improved product on the floor will translate into sold out games, new arena momentum, and a swaying of political and public sentiment to critical tipping point. The Maloofs possibly eek out a small profit next season with an eye towards the real prize: an approved arena deal.
A seemingly contrary strategy could win favor close to the 04/18 relocation deadline: Time to go all in. Jackpot or bust. Bull's-eye or bye-bye. One last show of faith, creative compromise and attempt to cooperate with city of Sactown. Regardless of outcome, no regrets, no apologies, and no villain complex if the dice turn up snake eyes.
Until the on-court product speaks for itself, the current win/loss record (15W-45L) speaks louder, especially at the negotiating table. Just as trading a player away when he is posting career low stats does not represent ideal time to strike a deal, relocating your team when your team stinks does likely not result in fantastical string of zeros and bountiful dollar signs in the plus column of your relocation terms. While the deal granted to the Maloofs may be advantageous to current circumstances in Sactown, they would pale in comparison to an offer towards a team with a proven record of success.
Would the Boston Celtics garner a hypothetically sweeter deal from Anaheim to migrate out West than our Kings to head down South? I think Samueli could find a few more coins between his sofa cushions to persuade a Leprechaun than to lure a lion (Slamson).
It is not inconceivable the Maloofs could postpone an intent to finalize a deal until the team starts to win next season, and alternate cities emerge as legitimate suitors. Over the course of the next 6 to 9 months, an improved product will improve the terms of a relocation bid(s), all the while allowing Sactown to realize what they got before it is gone.
Blobtastic Reason #4: When your product is temporarily defective, that is your team is not very good, counterparties look to fairly exploit this fact towards own financial end and advantaegous terms.
Yet an improved product is in the pipeline. Upon its release, the Maloofs will claim superior negotiating leverage. Until then, there is not overwhelming motivation to get up and depart.
This list of Blobtastic reasons is not intended to forecast that the Kings will stay in Sactown, or to suggest that the Maloofs do not already have a deal locked and loaded, and the only formality is the good-bye press conference and flipping off of the not-Arco lights. They may be gone. They may stay. No one knows absolutely until official word comes.
For every pro-stay item listed above, I am certain that a cynical fan, a Kings pessimist, an NBA realist, or someone more informed than myself can offer a reasonable counterpoint, citing or speculating upon numerous factors, not limited to the new pending CBA, the guaranteed revenue in Anaheim independent of ticket gate, the sense of owner entitlement and lack of owner liquidity as serious stumbling blocks, the potential lure of a big city to pending free agents, and the myopic mentality of public officials, and to conclude upon that basis that departure is imminent. In most cases I would decline to disagree.
What I am convinced of is that the Maloofs have to have genuinely struggled with a decision of this magnitude, and be internally conflicted as individuals and as a family how to best proceed. Their decision is not cut and dry. It's not all about dollars and cents. Yes, it is primary consideration, but there is more at stake. The Maloofs want to be heroes. They want to beloved. They want to make people happy. They want to do the right thing. They want to sleep soundly at night. To portray the Maloofs as Greedy Betrayers of a City is unfair, and no less inaccurate than it would be to coldly label Tyreke Evans as a selfish ball-hog or DeMarcus Cousins as an immature brat without acknowledging their tremendous basketball ability and potential for stardom.
Blobtastic Reason #5: In just 10 years, the Maloofs have donated and distributed more than $17,000,000 to a variety of charitable causes through cash donations and in-kind gifts. The Maloofs are good people, striving to make a better life for themselves and others.
Kings fans are good people too, and passionate basketball fans. The Maloofs share this passion and appreciate our years of support. This relationship is not an overwhelming motivation to get up and depart.
Win, lose, stay or leave, I intend to keep hope alive, and invite you to do the same: for a better team, for a new arena, for a championship banner, and for a brighter future.
God Bless the Maloofs, the SACRAMENTO Kings, and dedicated Kings fans everywhere!!!

One in every four Caribbean men bisexual – study
KINGSTON, Jamaica - One in four men in the Caribbean describes themselves as bisexual, according to a study.
The study was conducted online by the Caribbean Men's Internet Survey (CARIMIS) and involved 2,550 men. The findings are preliminary.
Fifteen per cent of those surveyed said they had sex with men but give no labels, such as homosexual or bisexual, to their acts. The results seem to challenge conventional beliefs about the Caribbean society and homosexuality.
Results of the study, which was launched last November, will be given to regional governments.
The project was funded by the UNAIDS, the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.

OU Wrestling certainly did their part to kick off Bedlam week pulling off an improbable come-from-behind victory Sunday afternoon in a raucous McCasland Fieldhouse.
It was OU's first win over Oklahoma State since 2008.
The Sooners trailed 15-3 in the dual meet with four matches remaining and would go on to win all of them, including a major decision which made the comeback possible.
Oklahoma head coach Mark Cody was understandably excited after the thrilling victory.
"Getting upset at the two lighter weights, I was concerned, but I wasn't really feeling like we were completely out of it," said OU coach Mark Cody. "Of course, it doesn't matter how I feel, it matters how the guys going out there to wrestle for you feel. Our last four guys just think they can win. That's there whole attitude, and that's what it came down to. They're doing a lot of things right, and it showed today."
Cody, whose team defeated OSU for the first time in their past 10 meetings, credited the crowd with giving the Sooners a boost in the comeback win.
"Going forward, this dual helps (the program) a lot," Cody said. "There's still a lot of areas we have to improve on, and that includes keeping fans in the seats every dual meet. It means a lot to our guys. That crowd really had a lot to do with us winning today." - The Oklahoman
On this Sunday, Bedlam more than lived up to its name.

The choices are quite endless
If your pick of male is wise,
There's no need to be friendless
When there are so many guys.
Avoid men with tiny feet
And the ones who wax their chest,
Or the ones with no heart beat
Although beat that's weak is best.
The ones who are greedy
Or the ones no good in sack,
As one will be too needy;
One will just lay on his back
Shun ones who have hay-fever,
As they will sneeze for hours
And not the type of geezer,
Who'll buy you bunch of flowers.
The ones who are forgetful
As will not have their Visa;
Might claim they are regretful
When can't pay for their teaser.
The ones who are often late
Or don't reply to your text,
Likely to have other mate
And sure to be oversexed.
The ones which put mummy first,
They will let you down for sure,
Who will love you to the church,
But will always love 'her' more.
As said when I first started,
You need to be selective;
Sweet like me; open-hearted,
As not all are defective.

Two men serving life sentences for the murder of a Panhandle convenience store clerk have been granted new trials. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin has ruled they received ineffective counsel the first time around.
Jesus Ramirez, 59, and Alberto Sifuentes, 34, were convicted in separate trials for the 1996 shooting death of Evangelina Cruz. The mother of four was shot nine times at close range in Littlefield, about 35 miles northwest of Lubbock.
Before she died, Cruz dialed 911 and gave a description of her attackers.
Court documents show there was no DNA, no blood, no gun or any other evidence that tied the two men to the crime. The men's convictions were initially upheld on appeal.
Lamb County District Attorney Mark Yarbrough says the men will be retried.

JJ: "He's in"
According to sources close to JJ whom I cannot name, it's now absolutely certain that Shat will be in XII.
In the after credit scene as Emperor Tiberius?
I think the next Trek movie needs to stand on its own legs, and not involve old cast members again.
The first movie did fine with Nimoy passing on the torch. The torch has now been passed....no need to set the hut on fire.
According to sources from the alternate future… he's not in!
I'm not sure which part he's playing, but my hope is that he will replace Pine as Kirk. For anyone who thinks Shat is too old, remember:
1) Shat still looks really young.
2) If necessary, CGI could be used to make him look younger.
3) Shat has played young-Kirk before. In fact, he has way more experience than anyone else in the role. How could anyone say he can't play young-Kirk? It's just not logical. He's done it before, he can do it again.
Sure, Pine's contract is simply invalid and Kirk has played a -50 years version of Kirk maaany times before.
Never mind the fact that Shat, an obese 80+ something, can't act his way out of a paper bag. To be fair, he couldn't act in the 1960s either.
I mean, I'm a girl and I had the hots for him BIG time, but I've learned to let go. Seriously. I pray to all the god and demigods he's playing a denivian slime devil and it's a brief cameo. Why cheese up a good action flick otherwise?
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAHN! :ack2:
Well...considering that the first movie was one corny cliche after another...(enter Shatner)

I bought this to store off-season clothing and found it to be so much better than the cardboard storage boxes I have been using. It is easy to set up and extremely sturdy. My only negative comment is that it is a little too large so it tends to be heavy if filled to the top. Otherwise I love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that -- rumors. None of this has been confirmed as legitimate news or fact; so remember to take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
- After appearing only on the pre-show at SummerSlam, the Shield is expected to get a bigger role on the main card at Night of Champions. Obviously, with the gimmick of the pay per view and each member being a champion, this makes sense. Recent rumors suggested, however, that the Shield may be falling out of favor with the WWE brass due to some conflicts with other talent. With them having a prominent role as enforcers for the new McMahon/Helmsley/Orton alliance on Monday night's Raw, this does not appear to be the case. If anything, it looks like they might be rising up the card headed into the autumn months (even if that means losing their titles at Night of Champions first.)
- Speaking of the Shield, Seth Rollins appears to injure his knee on Monday night. Considering he was involved in a Main Event match (taped the following Tuesday,) it clearly couldn't have been serious. It is being said that there was no real injury and that Rollins was simply selling throughout the night.
- As we noted earlier in the week, Rey Mysterio has been added to advertising for tonight's house show in Fresno, CA. He has also been added for Saturday and Sunday's events in San Diego, CA and Ontario, CA. This is Mysterio's home region and it makes sense to have him in the shows if he is close to returning. Other reports suggested that he may not return until September, so it is possible his appearances this weekend will be in a non-wrestling capacity.
- WWE has signed army veteran and former Temple football player Morkeith Brown to a developmental contract. The 28 year old, 6'5" Brown served in Afghanistan and reportedly passed up an opportunity to attend the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' training camp this summer.
- As you may have heard, AJ Styles' contract with TNA expires in September and there is a very real chance that he leaves the company for the first time in TNA's history. Negotiations are said to be ongoing with Styles, but TNA is trying to get younger (and cheaper) in terms of talent. It is said that Styles may have priced himself out of TNA's range, and that if they can get 4 or 5 younger talents for the same price as Styles, they will go that direction. TNA is said to be evaluating the contracts of all of their talent in a manner similar to how NFL teams evaluate against the salary cap, and that they don't want to invest too much of their budget in any one talent. (Compulsory reminder: Hulk Hogan's contract is said to be owned directly by Viacom, the parent company of Spike TV, not TNA.)
- Another TNA wrestler in the same situation as Styles is reportedly Ken Anderson, whose contract is said to be up in the near future as well. Like Styles, Anderson is a pricier veteran who TNA may consider moving on from in order to save some money.
- And now for a TNA talent who is already gone. SoCal Val announced via Twitter that she is leaving the company. She is yet another to leave in what has been a turbulent couple of months for the TNA locker room.
Thank u #ImpactWrestling ,the lockerroom & esp the fans for 9 wonderful years. No longer w the company. Really excited 2 see what's NEXT! 💗💋— $oCalVal (@SoCalValerie) August 23, 2013

Yeah, $15-20 per month is pretty common for the major MMO games. You can just take a look at games like World of Warcraft and the maintenance that's done to keep that going. Every Tuesday is the weekly scheduled maintenance for all servers running from usually 5-11 in the morning. Then there's the constant patching of the game both to fix problems as well as adding new content.
Usually when some major big patch arrives you can get unforseen problems that will have the servers down for an additional 12 hours in some cases while they scramble to fix the problem. The major content patches are usually the big problem because you can get entirely new areas of the game universe added. In the case of the latest expansion of World of Warcraft, I think the game area where the last boss can be found is still under developement though the expansion has been out at stores since last October. I have no idea how many more patches until the last boss will finally be added to the game. They already opened an area a few months ago.
So it's not just the maintenance of the site and the game functions but also the continued development and implementation of additional content to be added later. Even the game mechanics change over time to varying degrees. They're not like regular games where what you get in the box is the final version of the game minus a patch or two. Some of the major MMO games are constantly under development even after they go live.
So yeah, don't consider playing one without expecting to pay through the nose. Especially if you want the game to continue to be running for a while.
If the company is smart, then they will keep your game profile just like with World of Warcraft even if you no longer actively subscribe. So you might pay for one month. Then take a break then when you want to play again, you pay for another month or so and pick up where you left off.
