Drug suspect who eluded deputies found at grandmother's apartment
Updated On: Nov 19 2012 08:48:10 PM EST
A man who led Baker County and Jacksonville investigators on a manhunt after an undercover drug buy surrendered to police after his grandmother insisted he do so, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police said the man and another not involved in the drug deal eluded Baker County deputies following an undercover drug buy in a bar in Macclenny.
After the undercover deputies made the purchase, the man fled in a car back toward Baldwin, investigators said. They said he dumped the car at Clark Street off U.S. Highway 301 and went on foot.
The Baker County Sheriff's Office had K9 teams, and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office had a helicopter in the air as part of the search.
Investigators said the man was hiding at his grandmother's apartment when she told him to surrender. He was arrested and booked into the Duval County jail and will be extradited to Baker County on Tuesday.
The man who was with the suspect was questioned and released after investigators said he had not taken part in the drug deal.

We were planning on going to see Knight's Tale tonight (Friday) at 7:50 PM. I hope that was not the first posting sent out about the Woodlands demo. We had been sending it out on the lists about a Saturday Demo for sometime. The one I sent over the Costal Regional List was actually for answering Raven's Fort's questions about the time on Saturday. I just realised that I did not mention anything about Saturday on it. I hope no one showed up to the Woodlands today for a demo. If so don't kill me!!! The questions I got about Friday and the demo lead me to believe no one has posted anything on the Costal List. I pray there was no misunderstanding, William de Clare --

Gaunce stays cool after Sutter flaming
Young Stars: 'He's a ways away from being a pro player,' junior national team coach says of 19-year-old prospect
Tony Gallagher, The ProvincePublished: Friday, September 06, 2013
Brendan Gaunce went to the Canadian national junior camp in Lake Placid, N.Y., in early August, the get-together which prepares the national team for the traditional world junior hockey tournament around Christmas time.
Judging by the fact he had four points in two exhibition games on the big international ice surface, you would think Gaunce might have impressed coach Brent Sutter.
You would, however, be thinking wrong.
Canucks prospect Brendan Gaunce practises Wednesday at South Okanagan Event Centre in Penticton. Gaunce, now 19, was selected as the 26th overall pick in the 2012 NHL entry draft.
Ward Perrin, PNG Files
Turns out Sutter wasn't entirely thrilled with the Canucks' 2012 first-round draft pick, even though he actually had to ask Canucks assistant GM Lorne Henning about him as he'd never seen him play before.
This lack of knowledge didn't seem to stop Sutter from expressing his less-than-flattering opinion on the man the Canucks would love to see take their third-line centre job this year, when the coach was interviewed on the TEAM 1040 by Jeff Paterson on Aug. 16.
"He's a big guy and he's a ways away from being a pro player yet," Sutter said of Gaunce, knowing full well he was talking to a Vancouver audience.
"He's a very defensive-oriented guy as far as understanding the game. He knows his limits offensively, but he's a big power forward who's a decent skater and he's got some good skills. But I see him more as a third-or fourth-line player in the National Hockey League, more of a power guy."
Knows his limits offensively? A way from being a pro player? Nice. What would he say to a different audience, or off the record? Can you imagine what invective flattery might ensue? While we didn't have the exact quotes at the time to present to Gaunce at the Young Stars tournament, the Ontario native and centre for the OHL's Belleville Bulls clearly wasn't overly thrilled with the general tone and direction of the coach's comments, particularly after he felt he had done pretty well at the brief camp.
"Everyone has their opinions and he is obviously an established coach for the NHL and junior levels, and he knows what he's talking about. And if that's his opinion, that's his opinion, I can't change that," said Gaunce, clearly taken back by the remarks but marvellously maintaining his cool, which certainly shows mental restraint.
"I think I'm pretty close. I mean, I want to see at camp and see day to day how I do, but I think I'm pretty close and I think I prepared this summer to be pretty close.
"That's not something I should probably comment on further because I'm not a coach and I don't want to comment on someone else's opinion." You have to give the 19-year-old an "A" in the class department, knowing no matter what he says, the proof will come on the ice anyway.
"I spoke to Brent and he hadn't seen him play before," Henning said. "He knew a lot of those players from the West and he knew a lot of the centremen and they've got a lot of centremen there who are first-rounders, so I think he was just being cautious. At the time I talked to him he said, 'I really don't know the kid.' Brendan had some high-end centremen there that he was competing against, so maybe it was just his opinion about whether or not he'd be ready."

Seth gallery-hops and puddle-jumps on Third Thursday at CityArts Factory
Published: July 28, 2011
In retrospect, I should have seen the storm as a sign. Watching four-foot swells pound the shores of Lake Eola; feeling my featherweight Honda Fit nearly take flight in an umbrella-inverting gust of wind; seeing the city's signature swans sailing through the swirling air like errant Angry Birds – a sensible person would take these premonitions as permission to pack it in and head home. But I was determined not to miss another Third Thursday, come hell or (quite literally) high water.
I've covered downtown's monthly art crawl numerous times over the course of this column. But I haven't written about it since before Barbara Hartley took over for Shanon Larimer as executive director of the Downtown Arts District, organizers of the long-running event. So I waited for a slackening in the deluge, slapped the Orlando Sentinel real estate section over my head (hey, it has to be good for something) and awkwardly puddle-jumped my way to the shelter of CityArts Factory.
First stop inside was the Orlando Magic Gallery, home to this year's Red Chair Project art chairs. Once again, dozens of arts groups donated uniquely decorated midget IKEA chairs, which will be auctioned to support Red Chair's ticket-selling website and other activities. I stage-managed the annual Red Chair Affairgala at the Bob Carr for several years, so I should be intimately familiar with the organization, but I'm ashamed to admit I don't know the origin of the red chair iconography, nor understand the exact purpose of the event. And while I feel petty critiquing something crafted to benefit a benevolent cause, I was struck by how many of this year's chairs looked like commercial billboards bereft of artistic effort. In years past I was always impressed by how creative donors got in assembling and adorning the chairs to reflect their organization's spirit. (Doug Rhodehamel's robotic rover for the Orlando Science Center some years back comes to mind.) There were a few chairs in that category this year – a detailed dollhouse from Central Florida Top 5, a cookware collage from Tupperware, Geoffry Sprague's cartoonish cat sculpture for the Seminole Cultural Arts Council – but I was surprised how many were simply seats with advertisements for the group's upcoming season slapped on. It's inspiring that so many people want to help Red Chair raise money, but I'd like to see the chairs treated as more than mere advertising.
My next visit was across the hall to Alterverse, Jessica Singleton's collection of visually arresting faux-vintage photographs. Singleton's steampunk aesthetic was apparent in the letterpress relief-printing process used to create one ancient-looking image, while others were digitally manipulated into hallucinatory alternative-color universes. A haunting picture of Big Ben framed by an apocalyptic orange sky was emblematic of Alterverse's unsettling imagery.

Neil Peart featured in Rhythm magazine special drum solo issue
The December, 2013 issue of Rhythm magazine is a special edition focusing on the drum solo. Neil Peart is prominently featured on the cover of the issue along with several other drumming greats. The article itself focuses on the history of the drum solo, and makes several mentions of Neil Peart throughout. In one portion of the article Neil discusses the role of improvisation in the composition of a drum solo:
... Neil Peart, known for his meticulous approach to his drum parts, told Rhythm, "I might work on something in my warm-up routine, and it's in my solo that night. I cover myself in that the second half of the solo is well organised, and presented for the audience as a performance piece. You'll take more chances if you know that it's going to end well. I actually found it daunting in one way but exciting in another. Before that show, that's one thing I know that I don't know - the songs are laid out and most of our-arrangements are pretty tight, but there's that edge of, 'What'll I do tonight? Where will it go, where will it take me?" ... "Freddie [Gruber, renowned drum teacher] had defined me as a composer. He said, 'Look, when you play, you're composing.' And I accepted, yes, I'm a compositional drummer and when I did the Anatomy Of A Drum Solo video I defined myself that way - 'I composed this solo and I play variations within the movements but it is a composed piece.' Then right after that I went, 'Well, I want to improvise. I don't want to be just a compositional drummer.' So I deliberately set out to learn that, within the context of my solo, making the first half of it improvisational over three different ostinatos, and then the second half was composed so I know it is always going to resolve into something from the audience's point of view." ...
John over at Cygnus-X1.net has transcribed the entire article and made it available online here.

If you've recently thought about purchasing an e-reader, you might be a little confused about the features and benefits of each product. Jim Greer, from AT&T stopped by Sunrise 7 Tuesday morning to tell us a little more about two new techy devices; the Amazon Touch Kindle 3G and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Greer says, the Amazon Touch Kindle 3G is an e ink reader, meaning it looks a lot more like paper and is easier on your eyes because it is not back-lit. He also says once fully charged the device can last weeks using its battery.
He also showed us the Samsung Galaxy Tab with a reader app. Greer says both Amazon and Barnes and Noble have the apps. He explains, the apps are free but you usually need an account with Barnes and Noble or Amazon to purchase books. He also says both companies have a huge library of genres. Both also have a frequent buyer program and sometimes you can even borrow books for free. More good news- now some libraries also have e-books available to rent.

Colon Cancer Patient Stories
"I don't have cancer. I was not treated at Fox Chase Cancer Center, but the doctors there saved my life. How? Because my mom had cancer and Dr. Farma saved her life. My mom is my world. She is my best friend," shared Angela Denofa, whose mother, Loretta, was surgically treated for colon cancer at Fox Chase in 2009.
Loretta Denofa was 62 when she had her first colonoscopy performed. She had experienced bloody stools and her doctor suggested the procedure. Her daughter, Angela, recalled, "When my mom's local doctor shared the results - that my mom had colon cancer - he showed no empathy. He wanted to schedule her for surgery without explaining the recovery process. My mother and I left that appointment feeling scared, confused and hopeless."
Angela noted that her father had been treated at Fox Chase Cancer Center several years before and had excellent care. She made an appointment with Jeffrey Farma, MD, a surgical oncologist who specializes in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers.
"The people who work at Fox Chase not only do their jobs, but go beyond the call of duty."
"We chose Fox Chase because every staff member is an expert in his or her field," said Loretta. "The people who work at Fox Chase not only do their jobs, but go beyond the call of duty. It is very clear that they genuinely care about their patients."
"As soon as we met Dr. Farma, we had no doubt that this was the doctor who would save my mother's life. And he did," shared Angela. "Dr. Farma gave us hope, he gave us his time, his compassion and made us feel comfortable. He alleviated so many fears that we had. Everyone else we have encountered at Fox Chase has been the same - offering quality care and compassion. Something you don't find often."
By using a minimally invasive surgical technique, Dr. Farma helped to ease Loretta's recovery.
Loretta underwent surgery to remove the tumor on her colon. Dr. Farma performed a minimally invasive, laparoscopic removal of a portion of her colon.
"You cannot ask for a better doctor than Dr. Farma."
"You cannot ask for a better doctor than Dr. Farma. He is the picture of what every physician should strive to be like. He is excellent in his field, kind and respectful. He treated my mother with so much compassion, while providing her with the best care possible."
This experience has made Angela and her mom realize the importance of family. It has helped Loretta understand the importance of getting routine testing done. Angela wants to help others who are battling cancer. She has enrolled in the volunteer program at Fox Chase. "I want to make a difference to others as the staff did for my mother."
"You will receive the best care possible at Fox Chase."
"I cannot say it enough - please, please, please get routine testing done," pleaded Angela, whose mother's motto had always been "I don't want to look for trouble." If Loretta had not been checked when she was, she may not be here today. Angela added, "If you were just diagnosed, you will receive the best care possible at Fox Chase. They give you hope, compassion and the best treatment possible. Never give up hope."

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — Attorneys for a woman who was told she could not enter a Douglasville courtroom unless she removed her religious headgear and was jailed for contempt of court say they've reached a settlement in their lawsuit against the city.
The attorneys said Thursday the city has adopted a policy allowing people wearing religious headcoverings to be screened privately by an officer of the same gender. It allows them to wear the headcovering to court.
In 2008, Lisa Valentine, a Muslim, attempted to accompany her nephew to a hearing but was told it was against court policy. After she protested, officers forced her to remove her headcovering and jailed her for hours.
In 2009, the Georgia Judicial Council adopted a non-binding policy clarifying that religious head coverings can be worn in courthouses.
The Associated Press
I hope she got a whole headress full of cash as well. It's the only thing these backward people understsnd.

I run into this constantly, and it is unfortunately unavoidable since it's usually at work. When people talk to me about my weight loss and discuss what I eat, I almost always hear "I *wish* I could eat like that...I gain weight like it's nobody's business!" I try not to let it get to me, but after 6 months it gets old. I avoid it like the plague when I can, much like the women who complain about being flabby while they talk about hitting an elliptical for 60 minutes a day because "weights will make me 'bulky' so I stay away from that stuff".
Most of these people are in my office and say it as they pass when I'm eating lunch, snacking, etc. My lunches are a good 800+ calories with whole grain, usually a sweet potato, some sort of greens, and a protein (chicken, egg, lean beef or fish, etc.). 2-3 hours later I'm hungry again so I eat more. Sometimes I eat chocolate at my desk, and I usually don't pass on cake when it's someone's birthday...I just don't eat a massive piece and simply fit into my macros for the day, which always gets comments. I want to say "SCREW YOU, I DO WHAT I WANT!"
I'm a pretty calm guy, but if there was ever a time I felt like hitting a person, it's these times. I hear it at LEAST once a day, usually from women...and no, I won't go eat in my car to avoid it, I shouldn't have to. Curious what some of you tell people who ask these sorts of questions, or if you just continue to repeat yourself with the same answer and get over it.

Regarding the comments by Marlene Condon concerning fox pens in Virginia and her statement concerning "living organisms that experience the same feelings of pain, fear, joy, and sadness as humans" ["The hunt: Stop the cruelty of fox penning," Jan. 13]: Her comments clearly communicate her animal-rights agenda.
If her beliefs were to become reality, all livestock farms would cease to exist. Indeed, we would stop riding horses. We would never use a heart valve from a pig to save a human life. No dad would ever take his son or daughter hunting or fishing. Backyard barbecues would disappear. Rodeos would be forbidden.
I currently own 12 beagles. I frequent the local fox pens at least five or six times a year. During my time in these pens, I have observed nothing that I would view as cruel or inhumane. In fact, I have noticed particularly how the foxes are well-fed and maintained. Given the number of foxes within a single pen, my dogs seldom chase a single fox for an extended period, but frequently switch from one fox to another.
Fox pens serve a good purpose in Virginia. As the whitetail deer population and human population have grown, fox pens have allowed those with hounds and beagles a place to enjoy the chase without having to worry about chasing deer, offending neighbors, having their dogs killed on highways, or having their dogs shot, poisoned, or injured by dog-haters.
Those who vehemently denounce fox pens would have the uninformed reader believe that foxes are closely confined within a very small space while dogs are turned loose upon them. They would further have us believe that dog owners stand by laughingly to enjoy the bloody carnage. That is an abominable falsehood.

Gunning For The President Lyrics - G.B.H.
Heard him on the radio, seen him on tv,
watched his movies he didn't impress me.
He's in the Whitehouse, i'm in the doledrums,
someone's gotta get him, before his time comes.
I'm no waster, my times well spent,
gunning for the president.
I'm on a mission, gone hell bent,
gunning for the president.
As president of the United States,
he's got some trouble, with his enlarged prostate.
Disease up the nose, disease up the ass,
he knows the secret, Irangate cash.
I'm the one guy,
who just couldn't take it anymore.
I've seen more class, in a two bit whore.
Made your name in the world of let's pretend,
and if its up to you, "dann ist der arson ab".
Clint's on the trail now, a man with no name,
his morals are high, but the results the same.
Forget the gun laws, elect a mad man,
president Eastwood, the first lady magnum.

"Loved how my Save the Dates came out! I did have to change the font because our names were hard to read, but it turned out great!"
"love this card. was able to change the color of the text on the front of the card to better match our theme. the reviewers are very quick and make updates no matter how many times you need them! the card stock is perfect postcard weight. the picture came out perfectly even though it's not the most crisp version of our professional-quality engagement shot it's still pretty great. thank you!"
"My partner and I chose this design because the wild roses are part of our theme. The photo we used is a soft wide-angle shot we took of us in the Marin Headlands and we debated whether or not to use the sepia option because it matched the lettering so nicely. But in the end we chose the original photo to add a little extra color to the design. As we were designing, it looked like one of our names would overlap the date but when I received the free email proof, the designer had shifted the date down a little so there wasn't any overlap. The final product is classy, almost vintage looking, and we're so happy with it! We can't wait to send them out. Thank you!"
"Everything about this save the date was perfect. Quality was great and service was outstanding. My friends and family loved this elegant design and enjoyed having a magnet to keep on the fridge."
"I have ordered other invitations from different sites and most have disappointed me in the quality and printing. But this is not just another event for me - this is my wedding. I wanted my save the date's to be a postcard and after searching other sites, WPD had the best designs at the best price. My order went smooth and was quick to be shipped and arrive. I was happy and relieved my investment was exactly what I wanted. The image and text was perfect and the paper, well, it was a legitimate postcard. Yay! I also got a follow up thank you card from the designer of my postcard and it made my experience more special. I will be ordering my invites here without a doubt."

Kenyans, first runners to cross Chicago Marathon finish line, smash course record
BY DALE BOWMAN For Sun-Times Media October 13, 2013 9:39AM
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: December 13, 2013 2:27AM
There was mystery of the missed water bottle Sunday and the mystery of the one-time Kenyan farmer who won the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in smashing style.
But there was no mystery that Dennis Kimetto smashed the course record in 2:03:45, the fourth fastest marathon ever run by a man and only 22 seconds off the world record.
For setting the course record, Kimetto, 29, added $75,000 to his $100,00 pay day.
"Conditions were very good,'' said Kimetto, who only ran his first marathon in Berlin last year (second with 2:04:16). "I am happy.''
As he should be, considering he was a farmer until he started running competitively in 2010 after an encounter with Geoffrey Mutai, now his training partner.
The mystery on race day was whether the pace was torrid enough to challenge the world record (2:03:23), set by Kenyan Wilson Kipsang on Sept. 29 at the Berlin Marathon.
From the beginning, there was little question the course record would go. That mark of 2:04:38 was set by Ethiopian Tsegaye Kebede last year.
The lead men ran the half in 1:01:50.
"Those guys raced each other," executive race director Carey Pinkowski said. "I always felt great times come out of great competition. It was good racing. Our rabbits set a good even pace and they took it from there."
Once the rabbits — pace-setters — were gone, Kimetto and fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai pushed each other.
The field was surprisingly competitive with eight men in the lead pack at 19 miles, where the field hit a head wind and slowed to a 4:50 pace.
In the 19th mile, Kenyans Sammy Kitwara and Mutai pushed the pack with a 4:33 mile. But Kimetto eventually stayed with them.
Mutai pushed to the lead in the 22nd mile, then Kimetto pushed abreast. In the 23rd, Kimetto led as they ran a blistering 4:32. A missed water bottle by Mutai late in the race, allowed Kimetto to build a lead.
"It was just going back and forth," said Don Owino, who was called up to translate from Swahili for Kimetto. "With three miles left, he had to make his move. Once he got forward, he stayed.''
Kimetto had no idea that Mutai missed his last water bottle, though he added strides when that happened.
"I am very happy with the way I fought through the last mile, missed the bottle,'' Mutai said. "That is how he broke away.''
But Mutai did not think that would have changed the outcome.
"Dennis was more stronger than me,'' he said.
Mutai also ran what would have been a course record (2:03:52). Kenyans also held the next two spots: Kitwara (2:05:15) and Micah Kogo (2:06:56).
Conditions were nearly ideal for chasing records.
It was 53 degrees at the 7:30 a.m. elite start. There was a breeze of 5-10 mph from the northwest, different than the anticipated light breezes from the north-northeast.
The 26.2-mile course winds through 29 Chicago neighborhoods, beginning and ending in Grant Park, going as far north as Addison, as far west as Damen, and as far south as 35th.

One More Love Story
We thought the glow of the national holiday of love could spill over an extra day and bring you another love story from one of our members.
After becoming interested in family history at the age of 11, my grandmother told me about my great-great-grandfather, Charles F. Staples, who met his second wife, a nurse, while he was ill and in the hospital. I always found this to be a very romantic story that may have been embellished over the years and I never figured that I would ever be able to prove that this was how they met. However, several years ago a cousin sent me a newspaper clipping that announced their marriage:
Cards announcing the marriage of Hon. Charles F. Staples, Dakota county, and Miss Vera Emily Brown of the Marlborough, St. Paul, were received today in St. Paul.
Mr. Staples' colleagues in the state warehouse and railroad commission offices were frankly astonished today when the square white envelopes were handed about to the office staff. Through all the capitol a ripple of pleasant excitement followed the trail of " cupid messages" -those dull, white envelopes.
Mr. Staples had taken no one into his confidence about his matrimonial plans. Miss Brown, or Mrs. Staples was equally reticent. Thursday Mr. Staples spent most of the day at his office in the capitol. The bride-to-be was at her apartments in the Marlborough, nobody even suspecting that she was preparing for the wedding which took place at 6 o¹clock that night in the study of Dr. Maurice D. Edwards, Dayton Ave, Presbyterian church.
Although he devoted so much time to the service of the state in the matter of railroad rebates and warehouse commissions and though he was in the pre-convention days of last summer a gubernatorial possibility, Mr. Staples found time in his busy life to entertain the Dan Cupid and his courtship was distinctly romantic.
Mr. Staples, rumor has it, met his bride several months ago when he was seriously ill at a local hospital.
Mrs. Staples, a professional nurse, attended him. Their acquaintance "ripened into love," they became engaged and a few of their friends were told about it, but their plans were kept quiet, and Thursday there was a very small wedding at Dr. Edwards' study. Mr. and Mrs. Staples have gone to Washington and New York on a wedding trip.
Mr. Staples is a native of Dakota county and has always lived on the Staples farm on the Dodd road about five miles from St. Paul. He has been a widower for the last four years. He has a son and a daughter. The latter, Miss Edith Staples, is a school teacher. [He actually had two daughters.] Mr. Staples has served several terms in the state legislature, and he has been a leader for several years in state politics.
Charles and Vera Staples were married on 1 October 1908 in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. Charles served three terms in the Minnesota House of Representatives, was known as the person who "bested' James J. Hill of the Great Northern Railroad, and later was Director of Valuation of the ICC. Charles descends from Peter Staples of Kittery, Maine.

A Unique look at Historic and Contemporary Rhode Island Ancestors
The following website offers a look at a fascinating project, Descendants 350 by photographer/historian Tom Chambers. In his words:
This photo album of descendants of many of the first settlers of Rhode Island pays tribute to the trials and tribulations that their ancestors were subjected to during the early to middle 1600s. It offers a unique look and study of the state's early history as it relates to images of descendants (contemporaries) as icons or symbols to pay tribute to and talk about their ancestors' (first settlers') contributions through text extracted from The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island (and other sources). This contemporaneous approach resurrects the past through the present: discussion of ancestral contributions to the state's development via historical text and visualization of their descendants, today (1986), through documentary photography to bring forth those founding bloodlines, and to offer to the viewer a likeness or similarity of features between the Descendants and their Ancestors. This project was funded by Providence 350, Inc. as a part of Rhode Island's 350th Anniversary Celebration, 1986.

NEHGS Celebrates Benjamin Franklin
As part of this year's tricentennial celebration of Benjamin Franklin's birth in Boston, NEHGS Executive Director D. Brenton Simons will take part in a marathon reading of the honoree's Autobiography and other writings. The event takes place on Thursday, March 2 from noon to 5 PM at The Old South Meeting House in Boston. Brenton is scheduled to read at 1 PM.
Franklin's connections to Boston's Old South Meeting House are numerous: he was born on January 17, 1706 on Milk Street, and was baptized in the original 1669 cedar South Meeting House. His parents continued to worship there long after Franklin left Boston for Philadelphia at the age of seventeen. Among the works being read in addition to his autobiography will be his "Silence Dogwood" letters, written at the age of sixteen for The New England Courant, and his political essays.
We hope local NEHGS members can join in the celebration of one of America's most beloved and colorful figures. Details on the event can be found at www.oldsouthmeetinghouse.org/.
Any participant who remains for the full five hours will receive a free bound copy of Franklin's writings and membership to Old South Meeting House.
Upcoming Education Program
Research Week in Washington, D.C. March 5 – 12, 2006The Library of Congress (LC) has been added to our upcoming tour to Washington, D.C. Combined with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Library of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Washington, D.C., we will visit three of the major genealogical repositories in the United States. NEHGS staff will be available at each site for a week of intensive genealogical research and consultation, and the staffs of the three libraries will review the rich resources available for program participants. There will undoubtedly be new and interesting accessions to consult at each repository. The LC, NARA, and DAR libraries hold much unique content not available in Boston or Salt Lake City, and the trip to Washington, D.C., will offer participants a rewarding research experience.
Accomodations at the Hotel Washington are no longer available, but participants can still sign up for the commuter rate, which does not include lodging.
For more information on this program visit www.newenglandancestors.org/education/main/washingtondc_research.asp or email Amanda Batey at email@example.com.
Praise for eNews Spotlights
Thank you so much! I don't know why the NEHGS, based in New England as you are, chose to highlight the Alachua County, Florida Archives online, but I am thrilled, because my ancestors didn't all stay in New England. I hadn't known of the existence of this resource until last night, when the eNews came. Within minutes I discovered both a treasure and a mystery. There before my eyes was my black sheep great uncle's marriage certificate! Now I just have to figure out why it says he was 21 years old when all other evidence I have says he would have been 16 at the time....

From the Online Genealogist
Question:"I cannot locate the exact date of my great-grandmother's birth in Belmont, Maine. I need this document to join certain organizations. I have a copy of her marriage certificate and various censuses showing her living in Medford, Massachusetts with her family, but nothing for her birth. The Town Clerk wrote me and said that the clerk had the files at home and they were destroyed in a fire in the early days. I am looking at a time period of 1811-1858."
Answer:The town and vital records of Belmont were in fact burned in an 1855 fire. Surviving records have been microfilmed by the Family History Library and include: Minutes of town meetings; Bills of sale; Marriage records 1840-1848 and 1852-1877; intentions of marriage 1855-1876; land sales; boundaries; jurors; roads; schools; taxes. This can be found on FHL Microfilm #10,569.
The Higginson Book Company published Belmont, Maine: The First 100 Years by Isabel Morse Marsh. A description of the book can be found at www.rootsweb.com/~mewaldo/bibliography.htm#Belmont. You can order a copy of the book, available for $69.50, directly from Higginson at www.higginsonbooks.com/maineSC.html. This book is not yet available at the NEHGS research library.
I would also advise checking the 1810, 1820, 1830 census records for the community your ancestress lived in. You may find clues to her parentage. Checking the Waldo County, Maine probate and deed records might verify her parents names. The NEHGS research library has a microfilm copy of Maine Old Cemetery Association records which may assist you on related Belmont families. Also, I would advise you to see what churches were active in the time you need. A local historian in Belmont may be able to assist you in this search. A baptismal record may serve as an answer to the birth record which was burned. I would also advise contacting the town clerk for a letter to submit with your application documenting the destruction of the records.

Research Recommendations
Tips for Transcribing and Abstracting Recordsby Michael J. Leclerc
Transcribing and abstracting records is one of the major parts of genealogical research. It is critical to be able to read and understand the language of many different types of documents. There are many different forms available for transcribing records, but I find that too often they try to come up with a single template for many different record types. I prefer to transcribe records directly into a word processor for ease of use. The data from your word processor can later be pasted into your genealogy database program in the appropriate section.
While one can write word for word transcriptions straight out, it is often the case that it takes two or three (or more) readings of a document before all of the words are deciphered. Before starting the transcription, set your line spacing to double or triple. When keying the words into your word processor, try not to stop the momentum if you get stuck. When you have difficulty reading a word, simply type in an underscore and space for every letter you think you are missing, and continue on. These can appear in the middle of a word, such as mo_ _ y, or for an entire word if you cannot decipher any letters on your first pass, such as _ _ _ _ _. Once you have finished your first pass, you can now print out your transcription.
Sometimes a simple read-through of what you were able to decipher on the first read-through makes it easier to find a word, as you can now put it in context. If you still cannot decipher the word after two readings, try another technique. Use a pencil and try to write out the word on a blank piece of paper, making it look the way you see it on the original. If this still doesn't work, make a copy of the original and trace right over the letters with your hand. Do this two or three times, then move your pencil to a blank sheet of paper and make the same motions. Often the movement of your hand over the letters will trigger your muscle memory and you will be able to determine what the letters are.
Of course, if you are transcribing records from a much earlier time period, the muscle memory routine may not work. Letters were formed much differently in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries than they were in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. There are numerous books on deciphering handwriting in these earlier times, and a basic understaing of how letters were formed will keep you from many transcription errors.
If you have to translate a document from a foreign language that you do not read or write well, try writing or typing out each line of the original document word for word. Try your best to maintain the line breaks of the original. Leave three blank lines between each original line. Use this blank space to type or write in the English translation of that word from a dictionary.
Remember that languages rarely translate word for word. Use this technique to get a sense of what the document is saying, then translate it into the proper English. And remember that not all words are translatable. Many words, especially legal terms, may not have an English equivalent, but you can describe them in terms of a similar English word. For example, an arpent is a French unit of land measurement. In the United States we traditionally measure our land in acres. So one could translate a document describing an ancestor's land holdings as follows:
Joseph Lavallée owned 563 arpents of land in St. Ours. French arpents are about .85 acres in size, making his land equal to about 479 acres.

Speed cams make 'Faster Ave.' a little slower
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter October 16, 2013 10:06AM
Updated: November 18, 2013 7:40AM
On a stretch of Foster Avenue on the Northwest Side that some residents have nicknamed "Faster Avenue," motorists appeared to get the message Wednesday morning that they need to slow down.
Most drivers heading east on Foster toward Pulaski were below the posted 30 mph limit — on the first day motorists can receive tickets and fines as part of the city's controversial new speed camera program.
"We're giving people every possible opportunity to know they are breaking the law and change their behavior before they hit a camera," said city Department of Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein, speaking to reporters on Foster near Gompers Park.
Before motorists reach the speed camera west of Foster and Pulaski, there are signs that say "radar enforced" and one that flashes the driver's speed. Most motorists were at or near the 30 mph limit Wednesday morning, although a Chicago Sun-Times reporter saw the occasional motorist hitting 40 mph.
That's just what the city was hoping for during a 40-day period when the cameras were churning out warning notices, First Deputy Transportation Commissioner Scott Kubly has said.
Kubly has noted that the number of speeders dropped by 50 percent in just two weeks after warning notices started arriving in drivers' mailboxes. And even speeders caught Wednesday will still catch a break: The first ticket issued to each motorist will be a freebie.
The speed cameras around Gompers Park are the first to start issuing tickets. Ticketing is scheduled to begin the week of Oct. 21 at McKinley, Marquette and Garfield parks.

Light can be added to a scene where none existed before just as if you were adding light at the time of photography.
Gobos, or patterns, are widely used by lighting designers in theatre, film, photography and television to create atmosphere, project scenery, and generally enhance the visual impact of their lighting. Normally used in front of lights during photography, these same exact patterns can be applied digitally to the entire image or inside a selected area. Gobos from the Gamproducts collection are included with Light and are arranged into the following categories: Breakups, Foliage, Lights, Sky and Windows.
Dont settle for bland photos. Spice up your images with Light, just like Hollywood cameraman and photographers do. See the Light!

William Katz: Urgent Agenda
GO SPEND MORE – AT 8:26 A.M. ET: Reports from retailers on Christmas shopping are not going to light any fires. From AP, via Fox:
Gee, that's not what the MSM told us during the election campaign, is it? Weren't we having a strong recovery, guided by The One? Maybe I read it wrong.
Oh please. I really don't think Hurricane Sandy, which occurred in late October, impacted Christmas shopping. Neither did the "distraction" of an election. The AP is just doing its job – finding excuses for Dear Leader.
COMMENT: Many people are frightened, or don't have much disposable income. They'll have even less if Washington doesn't get its act together. We are not doing well, and we're stuck with Obama once more.

Fish Galore's team of captains lead angling expeditions along Florida's Gulf Coast, taking parties to fishing destinations such as Tarpon Springs and 10,000 Islands. Trips range from guided inshore and near-shore journeys to excursions that head between 30 and 40 miles offshore. With experience hauling catches including grouper, sailfish, and shark, the team has garnered praise from clients for keeping groups "always on fish" and seeing that everyone onboard feels "welcome and comfortable." The team also furnishes equipment for independent fishing, renting out canoes and tackle so anglers can explore the area's backwaters, canals, and the Intracoastal Waterway for redfish and trout. Alternatively, canoes give paddlers access to Midnight Pass Beach and Oscar Scherer State Park. Family-friendly eco tours are also available, with ample viewing of shore birds, shelling, and riding dolphins like rodeo broncos.
Freedom Boat Club supplies seafarers with a catalog of boats for exciting voyages or relaxing lounges atop the waves. The one-day trial membership presents shipmates with membership perks such as unlimited access to a variety of motor-powered boats that the boat club preps by flooding the gas tank with fuel and the cabin with seaweed-scented air fresheners. An experienced captain leads members through a thorough orientation course that highlights essential boating techniques and on-board safety measures. Crews of up to 10 people can select any available vessel, except for offshore fishing boats, and spend the day beach hopping, fishing, and trailing wakes through Poseidon's facial hair.
Kiteboarding Sarasota's certified instructors impart extreme water-sport basics during beginner lessons, which prepare clients to glide across water while strapped to a kite. During one-hour lessons, adventurers learn techniques on land they can later take to the water, such as flying a kite, using harnesses, selecting a launch site, and building a sandcastle. Alternatively, four-hour lessons lift beginners to new heights of kiteboarding comprehension, combining land learning with water launches, safety releases, and a practice session—complete with boat transportation and support—riding in the calm and shallow Sarasota Bay. Each lesson is tailored to clients' strengths, weaknesses, and fears that the Loch Ness monster has relocated to coastal Florida. Kiteboarding Sarasota stocks all necessary gear except sunscreen.
All tickets grant admission to seating on benches in covered audience stalls at the Indeavour Stage in Cupids.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studio, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the cha-cha. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and foxtrot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba.
The guides at Black Water, Blue Water Tours tailor their kayaking trips to the crew accompanying them. Wildlife tours, sunset tours, island-picnic tours, or even journeys under the full moon introduce kayakers to South Florida's Myakka River, mangrove tunnels, and canals laden with wildlife such as manatees. If visitors have specific sightseeing locales in mind, the guides can create an entirely new tour to fit their parameters.

Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia, an autonomous overseas collectivity of France. It has a population of 26,000, but every day 80,000 people descend on the town for work. A cosmopolitan community, Papeete brings together Polynesians, Europeans and Asians, who live side by side in harmony. Languages heard in the town include Tahitian, French, Hakka and even English.
Although shipping activity stretches back as far as 1790, the creation of Papeete was linked to the foundation of an English mission in the hamlet of Paofai. Papeete became the capital of the new royal dynasty around 1827 when Queen Pomare IV established a royal residence on the lands known as 'Papeete'.
Papeete houses the headquarters of many national institutions, including the presidential palace, the Polynesian government, and the Assembly of French Polynesia. The town hall of Papeete is notable in that it is an exact replica of Queen Pomare's former palace.
Papeete is one of the Pacific region's most prominent cultural centres. It stages the annual Heiva, a major cultural festival featuring prestigious Tahitian traditional dance ('ori Tahiti) competitions. The town also organises FIFO (International Festival of Oceanian Film), an event with international appeal and resonance.
The economic capital of the country, Papeete boasts an international port renowned for its large harbour that allows yachts and liners to drop anchor before heading off again for other destinations.
There are some beautiful sights worth a visit in Papeete: the Queen's pond, Bougainville Park, Fautaua Valley and more. The Paofai Gardens are the ideal place to take a relaxing stroll or enjoy stunning yellow and red sunsets by the sea, against a backdrop of Polynesian sculptures. Sporty types are ubiquitous on the beach, especially rowers, who take to the water in their 'va'a (traditional canoe).
A 30-minute boat ride away lie the white-sand beaches of the nearby island of Mo'orea, whose wild and natural beauty guarantees a day in paradise for visitors.
Papeete is famed for its shopping, particularly for those in search of unique Polynesian crafts or jewellery (such as Tahitian black pearls). And who could forget the bustling local market, where authentic Polynesian goods abound, including music, flowers, clothing and much more.
The Tahitian capital comes to life at night. Diners have a wide array of gastronomical options to choose from. There are Tahitian, French, Asian and American restaurants, or visitors might enjoy eating from roulottes, a type of small truck converted into a moving food outlet. There are a range of different nightclubs to suit tourists' mood and musical tastes, from local, traditional to international.
Tahitians are reputed for being a welcoming, smiling, party-loving people, something you will have the chance to discover for yourself during your visit to Papeete.
Football in Papeete
Football was introduced to French Polynesia in 1906 by Royal Navy sailors, and the first teams began to appear in Papeete from 1909 onwards.
In 1923, the first two football clubs in Tahiti to be officially recognised were AS TAMARII TAHITI (later known as AS Jeunes Tahitiens) and AS FEIPI, based in Papeete. With 20 Tahitian league titles and 18 Tahitian Cup triumphs, AS CENTRAL SPORTS, another side from Papeete, is the most successful team in the history of football on the island.
The most recent Tahitian championship was won in May 2012 by AS DRAGON, one of Papeete's many football clubs.
With close to 900 players attached to clubs or the town's FUTSAL association, football is today, along with the Va'a, one of the two most popular and developed sports in Papeete.
