The FIRST bill introduced to stop Mountaintop Removal mining was introduced by Morgantown's Jon Hunter in the WV Senate
Mr. President:
God through his son Jesus has taught us about Sins of Commission and Sins of Omission- to intentionally destroy God's creations, be the human or a mountain, is a Sin of Commission.
To stand by and do nothing is a Sin of Omission. On this holy day, Ash Wednesday, I wish to confess my Sin of Omission and I promise to sin no more. That is why today I have introduced SB 588- a bill designed to stop this unholy destruction of our mountains, our streams, our forests, and our people.
Let's document the Sin of Destruction of our magnificent mountains and forests. To mine the coal seams-up to 800 feet of mountain top is blasted away-using a million tons of explosives. Every 2 weeks the amount of explosives is equal to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. According to OSM, 1.4 million acres or 2,200 square miles of mountains and forests have been destroyed.
What about our clear, clean streams? 1,200 miles of streams have been destroyed. 724 miles have been completely buried- and in just the last 6 years almost 600 miles of streams have been damaged, about 275 of those completely buried. That is the distance between here and Florida.
Mr. President:
And, what about our people? First, we have lost jobs; since 1980-when almost 60,000 of us were employed in mining that number has dropped to about 17,000 in 2006. That is 43,000 lost jobs. Southern West Virginia has seen a massive loss of jobs and population. Those left behind have seen increased flooding, blasting damage to their houses and wells, air pollution and dust everywhere…water pollution, loss of timber jobs, lost hunting and fishing habitats as well as wildlife. Our communities and way of life have disappeared and our health has been severely impacted by the dust, the chemicals and heavy metals polluting our air and water, resulting in skin rashes, respiratory problems, cancer, kidney and liver problems. Our children in these areas are twice as likely to have autism. And Mr. President, I have just received and article in the New England Journal of Medicine that selenium has recently been linked to Type II diabetes. West Virginia leads the nation in Type II diabetes. A coincidence? I think not!!
Recent polls have indicated that over 60% of our citizens are opposed to mountain top removal. I only wish 60% of our legislators were. In truth, I suspect you are, but like gambling-we are addicted to the revenue and like addicts we are committing the Sin of Omission. I know we will not pass SB588, but as one of my last confessions, I have to confess my sin of not doing this sooner during my 11 years in this body.
May God bless West Virginia and its' stewards. Thank you for hearing my confession.

Domeday Book lists 48 persons in the three manors: 21 at
Sunbury, 19 at Kempton, and 8 at Charlton. The
most numerous class consisted of those described as
villeins, of whom there were 10 at Sunbury, 14 at
Kempton, and one at Charlton. There were also 5
bordars, 5 cottars, and a slave at Sunbury, 3 bordars
and 2 slaves at Kempton, and 1 bordar and 6 slaves
at Charlton. (fn. 4) About 1335 Sunbury and Charlton
together mustered 24 men for a commission of
array and Kempton and Hanworth mustered 22. (fn. 5)
In 1547 there were 174 'houseling' people in the
parish, (fn. 6) and this figure included Upper Halliford,
which as part of Halliford manor, is excluded from
the earlier, manorial figures. (fn. 7) In 1664 80 householders in the parish were listed as either owing
hearth-tax or exempt from it. (fn. 8) During the 18th
century the population was diversified by the
richer people who lived in the new and larger houses
by the river and elsewhere. Notable among this
group was a colony of Huguenot refugees. The
first of these to be mentioned is Isaac St. Eloy, (fn. 9) who
owned Sunbury manor by 1703, and it has been
suggested that the colony first gathered between
1703 and 1708 around the Dowager Duchess de la
Force. (fn. 10) In 1709 24 names of persons assessed to
poor relief were French. (fn. 11) It is possible that French
Street and the former French Place (fn. 12) were named
from the Huguenot settlers. French names occur
in the parish registers until 1748 (fn. 13) and it is possible
that others found as late as 1820 may be attributed
to the Huguenot settlement. (fn. 14) By 1801 the population was 1,447, and the richer people were
sufficiently numerous in the 19th century for
assembly rooms to be opened in Thames Street. (fn. 15)
Sunbury was a popular angling resort during the
19th century. (fn. 16) The population rose to over 2,300 in
1861, and, after the opening of the railway in 1864,
to over 4,000 in 1881. Between 1931 and 1951 it
increased from about 6,500 to 16,416, though this
last figure includes the areas at Ashford Common
and Feltham Hill which had been added to the old
parish since 1931. (fn. 17)
In 1086 there were altogether 15 ploughlands in
the parish outside Halliford manor. Of these 6 were
at Sunbury, 5 at Kempton, and 4 at Charlton. All
the land was more or less under-worked according
to the survey: each demesne had only 1 plough, and
the villagers had 4 at Sunbury, 3 at Kempton, and
only half a team at Charlton. (fn. 18) In 1318 all the harvest
works owed by the tenants of Sunbury were commuted for money, (fn. 19) and the demesne was farmed out
by 1395. (fn. 20) The only real information about the
medieval economy of the parish, however, concerns
Halliford and Kempton manors. Halliford is discussed elsewhere. (fn. 21) At Kempton there is no mention
of week works in the manorial accounts of the early
14th century, but the tenants owed boon-works at
harvest. (fn. 22) Apart from a ploughman and ploughboy
there is no evidence of regular paid labour on the
demesne. In the early years of the century rye and
oats were the chief crops, with a fair amount of
barley. Later barley became the most important cash
crop, with wheat and maslin replacing rye as the
second crop. There seems to have been no systematic
rotation: the units of arable were furlongs rather
than fields and more than one crop was sometimes
sown in one furlong. There was no livestock on the
demesne except for the plough animals, though
there was a shepherd who in 1329-30 looked after
140 sheep, presumably belonging to tenants, which
were manuring the lord's land. The king kept
horses and deer in the park, but these were regarded
as separate from the manor stock. (fn. 23) From 1363 the
demesne was leased, and the detailed information
about its management ceases, though in the time of
Richard II Kempton manor is known to have had
the right to pasture 300 sheep on Sunbury Common. (fn. 24)
In the 17th and 18th centuries the open arable was
still organized in furlongs rather than in fields.
Although West and Court Fields in Kempton manor
are mentioned in 1604, only three fields in the parish
are frequently mentioned, and the names of these
seem to be used to describe geographical areas
rather than units of cultivation or rotation. (fn. 25) Each
of the three lay across manor boundaries. (fn. 26) When
they were finally inclosed in 1803 they still covered
some 570 acres, and there were then a small amount
of open meadow and over 560 acres of common,
nearly all on Sunbury Common. (fn. 27) All the four
manors (i.e. including Halliford) had common
pasture rights on Sunbury Common and each of the
lords also seems to have had a sheepwalk there.
Pasture-rights on the common and fields were
stinted by the 18th century. (fn. 28) Inclosures were made
from the open fields and the common at various
times. About 36 acres had been newly inclosed at
Charlton in 1620. In 1632 the lord of Kempton
inclosed part of the common by agreement with his
tenants and gave up his common rights on the remainder. (fn. 29) At the inclosure of 1803 there were
already about 1,000 acres of closes. Great difficulty
was experienced in getting the necessary consent to
the inclosure Act from the landowners. (fn. 30)
In 1801 the chief crops were wheat and barley. (fn. 31)
Clover was being grown in the early 19th century. (fn. 32)
Nurserymen and market-gardeners were in the
parish by 1826, (fn. 33) and by 1865 there were a fair
number of orchards east of Green Street in addition
to the nursery farther west which gave its name to
Nursery Road. The orchards increased until the
20th century, when most of them were dug up,
though market-gardens and nurseries continued to
grow. (fn. 34) In 1947 there were 368 acres of horticultural
land in the parish, 11 acres of which were under
glass. This area was divided among 24 holdings. (fn. 35)
Horticulture remained predominant on the land
available in 1957, though mixed farming was still
carried on in the west of the parish, especially
around Charlton, and there were still meadows along
the Thames in the south-west.
Very few people were employed in industry before
the late 19th century. The proximity of the river may
account for the rope-making of the early 19th
century. There was a small brewery just north of the
church in the 1860's and 1870's. (fn. 36) In 1826 there was a
screw manufacturer who is supposed to have made
wooden screws. (fn. 37) Brick-earth was being dug in the
19th and early 20th centuries, and in the 20th
gravel-extraction on a large scale took place at Sunbury Common (now built over), Charlton, and
Halliford. (fn. 38) It was still going on by Charlton Lane in
1959. Modern industry began near the station where
a factory was making wall-paper by 1878. The P.I.M.
Board Co. was formed in 1898 with a factory nearby,
and in 1903 250 persons were employed in these two
works, (fn. 39) which have since expanded greatly. British
Thermostats Ltd. started work in Windmill Road in
1930 and employed 1,350 people in 1958. (fn. 40) Since the
Second World War a number of factories and workshops have opened in Windmill Road, some of them
on two small trading estates. Most of these works are
engaged in various kinds of engineering. In 1957
there were several factories elsewhere in the parish,
most of them small: very few anywhere in Sunbury
employed over 100 persons. Between 1957 and 1959
several new factories were opened to the north of
Charlton in Ashford Road. Some of the people
working in Sunbury come from surrounding areas,
while many inhabitants of the parish are employed in
surrounding areas such as Feltham and Hampton. (fn. 41)
Comparatively few probably work in London: in
1921 only 321 persons went there to work out of 825
who worked outside the parish. (fn. 42)

CHICAGO (AP) -- A summer thunderstorm that swept over Chicago on Thursday afternoon is bringing only temporary relief from the heat.
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport saw a dramatic temperature swing from a record-breaking 103 degrees at 2 p.m. to 84 degrees by 2:45 p.m.
National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Castro says the Chicago area is headed for another record-breaker on Friday, with 103 degrees predicted for the high.
Rockford and Chicago both broke records for the hottest July 5 that were set in 1911. Chicago's 103 degree temperature on Thursday bested the 1911 record of 102.
Rockford's 101 degree temperature broke the record of 100.
An extreme heat warning is in effect until 10 p.m. Friday.

Immigration reform needs to happen immediately
Published on Mon, Apr 12, 2010
Immigration reform needs to happen immediately. For too long, too many have lived under fear of deportation, their families being separated, and employers increasing hours while decreasing wages. There have been studies that suggest that an immigration bill will not only help immigrant families and communities, but the country as a whole.

Clearly very intelligent, he's quite unlike the stereotypical geek in that he can explain exactly what he's doing in very straight-forward terms. Working with him is easy because he makes it easy, not because what he does isn't clever.

Endoscopy Procedures
Also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD, endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to diagnose and treat problems in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract. The physician uses a long, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope. The endoscope is guided through the patient's mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). An endoscopy procedure allows the physician to examine the inside of these organs and detect abnormalities. A video camera in the endoscope transmits images to a TV-like monitor.
Reasons for an Endoscopy Procedure
An endoscopy procedure may be performed to diagnose structural or functional abnormalities of the esophagus, stomach and/or duodenum. These abnormalities may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Weight loss or anorexia (loss of appetite)
- Upper abdominal pain or chest pain of a noncardiac origin
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Intractable vomiting (continuous vomiting from an unknown cause)
- Strictures (narrowing) or obstructions
- Gastrointestinal bleeding and esophageal varices (enlarged veins in the esophagus)
- Inflammation and ulcers
- Tumors (benign or malignant)
- Hiatal hernia – upward movement of the stomach, either into or alongside the esophagus
- Damage caused by ingestion of caustic substances (chemicals such as lye and household detergents)
In addition to performing visual examination of the UGI tract with the endoscope, the physician can insert instruments through the endoscope to perform various endoscopy procedures such as:
- obtain tissue samples for a biopsy
- obtain gastrointestinal fluid samples
- remove foreign objects
- remove tumors or polyps (growths)
- dilate areas in the upper GI tract (e.g., esophagus)
- instill air or fluid
- control bleeding
- perform endoscopic surgery, laser therapy or dilatation (opening up)
- place a percutaneous gastrostomy tube for tube feeding into the stomach
- evaluate the stomach and duodenum after a surgery
There may be other reasons for your physician to recommend an endoscopy procedure.

often asked by educators why I use wikis, blogs, AND Google docs.
"Why not just pick one?". The answer is because I use each in
different ways. Each of these platforms can be used for numerous
purposes. Here is how I use them.
Over at the Free Technology for Teachers
blog, Richard Byrne shares some more useful information for those
wanting to know whether they should use a blog or wiki for a
particular class or project. He shares Blogs, Wikis, or Docs: Which is right for your lesson? This is a great chart from Dr. Mark Wagner that outlines the features of each platform, each platform's drawbacks, and examples of each platform in use.

How many woks do you own?
- Candy Aug 8, 2006 11:13 PM
My DH suggested this and I told him to post it but have gone ahead with the question.
How many do you own, what type and do you use them for more than Asian food?
The question arose when I asked him to get my large round bottomed wok out to fry chicken wings for hot wings tonight. I also have two stick handled woks in 14" and 12" sizes. All 3 are carbon steel. How about you?
Candy, I have had a very large restaurant wok for over twenty-five years and it has cooked everything imaginable. I used it on a sailboat for many years as my main cooking vessel because its small (flat) bottom would fit inside the burner fences (designed to keep hot pots from sliding) unlike large diameter pans. Chicken Cacciatore for 20 is probably the largest amount for a single on-the-water gathering. Another huge bonus for this wok is the "helper" handle directly across from the long stick handle. I used to tie a long line through this and drag it behind the boat for cleaning because it was much too large to fit in my Ken & Barbie-sized sink!
I'd grab my "Big Beauty" in case of a fire. It is a workhorse. I also use a smaller 12" wok for everyday, at-home cooking for the two of us.
My wife cooks Chinese food exclusively has exactly ONE wok. Her cuisine (Shanghainese) leans more toward braising, steaming and stewing than actual stir-frying, and she's taken to Western-style fry pans and stock pots for those techniques. Stir-frying is a hands-on technique anyway, and she can only stir-fry one thing at a time. And because of the tapered shape of a traditional wok, size is more or less irrelevant as long as you have the biggest wok you care to handle.
On the other hand, "wok" is just Cantonese for "guo" which can refer to any kind of cooking pot, so I suppose you can say she has several "woks."
I have three in the inventory - two round bottomed with double handles, one larger than the other (maybe 14 and 12 inches, I'm not sure), and one flat-bottomed (and yes, I know a flat-bottomed wok is an oxymoron) acquired through marriage, with a stick handle. All carbon steel, all more-or-less seasoned OK. I don't use them for anything other than Asian food, and sometimes not even then - my 15,000 BTU burners are about an order of magnitude too anemic for real wok cooking and a large frypan often does a better job, but I enjoy using them anyway, so I usually do.
Two- one 14" and one 10", both carbon steel. I actually probably shouldn't take credit for these... they're my fiance's, but I bought the first one for him. I'd say we use them equally for Asian food and equally for other things. We use the larger one if we are going to fry anything usually. The larger one has a removable handle and the smaller one has the two metal handles on the sides. Actually, this is the larger one that we have: http://www.wokshop.com/HTML/products/...
I have two, both anodized aluminum. I used to have 2 carbon steel woks and got tired of dealing with the rust so I gave them away. Mine are about 16" and 18", used mostly for Asian cooking especially Asian vegetables which I do several times a week. I also use them when I want to cook large quantities of food over high heat. I also use a wok for steaming big items like whole fish, dumplings or Chinese steamed sponge cake.
According to my parents, my grandfather who died when I was a baby, was an excellent cook who used woks exclusively. He would fry a single egg in the giant cast iron wok he used all the time.
None! I use my big non-stick skillet for (almost exclusively for) stirfries. America's Test Kitchen did a thing on woks a while back and said that the only good wok is an electric one, and that's good for deep fryin' stuff, not stirfries. I guess I was happy to hear that, given the size of my kitchen, so I just got a big nonstick (Calphalon 18".)
re: Chowsmurf
And that's exactly why I don't believe everything America's Test Kitchen puts out. Woks are perfect for stir-frying, that's what they do 90% of the time or more. And, you seldom see anything electric that can maintain temperture like a wok sitting over a high gas flame. Just look at Chinese restaurants, the wok stations are super hot, far more than any electric could be.
My wok will be out this evening doing a stirfry, it will take only moments and dinner will be ready.
Oh, BTW, I have 3 woks, papa wok, mama wok and baby wok.
re: rtmonty
Excellent point. I think that by regulation electric devices are not allowed to maintain a suitable heat level for stir-fry. My wife had the frustratinfg experience of trying ot cook a big Chinese meal for my relatives at my mother's home on an electric range, and as soon as the burner got hot enough it would automatically shut off.
re: Gary Soup
This was also part of ATK's point- that to have sufficient heat to use a wok properly and gain all the benefit from it, you need either high BTU or a jet engine restaurant burner. That most people are using woks in their home where a regular flat pan in many cases may actually be the best tool for the job, and keeps you from having to get a one-trick-pony.
Until trash day last week, three: a large round-bottom that I've had since high school, a Lodge cast iron that I've had since 2002, and a largish flat-bottomed pounded aluminum from Super 88 that was my wife's mother's. I threw out the last one because I realized I haven't used it in over a year.
Frankly, I don't use a wok at all anymore, although I tend to stir-fry at least once every couple of weeks: we have an insanely large Lodge cast iron skillet, 18 inches across at the base. It gets ripping hot, but the wide surface means I can push things to the sides and away from the direct heat of the flame if they're cooking too fast. The only problem is that if I'm cooking something saucy like ma po tofu, my left arm gets tired holding the skillet over the serving dish as I'm emptying it.
Three. One 14" Chinese carbon steel wok (southern style, with a handle on each side), another 14" Chinese copper wok (Northern style, with a single protruding handle), and an Indian cast iron kadahi (10"). I use the Chinese woks for stir frying and the kadahi for deep frying and slow stewing--it's heavier and retains heat longer. They all have round bottoms, which can be tricky maneuvering at times; luckily, my stove can accomodate them securely. They are truly my most versatile cooking vessels; I have used them to cook everything from Asian stir fries to doro wat.

The surviving church dates from
the 12th century. (fn. 73) The living remained a rectory. The advowson followed the descent of the
manor from 1349 or earlier, (fn. 74) until 1719, when
it was retained by the Grimston family, later
earls of Verulam. (fn. 75) In 1938 it passed to the
Diocesan Board of Patronage. (fn. 76) The patrons
presented regularly until the earls of Oxford
granted turns in 1548 and 1554. (fn. 77) In 1640 the
patron was Robert Jacob, who may have
acquired the turn granted to trustees by William
Tiffin before 1635. (fn. 78) In 1938 the benefice was
united with that of Chappel. (fn. 79)
The rectory was not valued in 1254. In 1291
it was worth £10; in 1535, £12 0s. 4d. (fn. 80) In 1650
the glebe was worth £10, the tithes £86. (fn. 81) A
dispute over the payment of tithe in kind in
1710 (fn. 82) suggests that the rector was trying to
increase his income. In 1835 the living was
worth £476 gross, £458 net. (fn. 83) The tithe was
commuted in 1839 for a rentcharge of £580 ayear, and in 1851 the living was worth £606
10s. (fn. 84) In 1889 the net value was only £300-
£325, and the rector reported that it was still
lower in 1898, but in 1911 the gross value was
£603. (fn. 85)
Robert Malet gave the tithe of his demesne
to Eye priory c. 1085. (fn. 86) In 1337 the rector agreed
to pay the priory 13s. 4d. a year for the tithe,
and the pension was still paid in 1535. (fn. 87)
There was c. 12 a. of glebe in 1768, and in
1839 the rector held a total of c. 17 a. probably
all glebe. (fn. 88) Part of the land was sold to the railway, presumably the Colchester, Stour Valley,
Sudbury, and Halstead Co., c. 1848, but 15 a.
remained in 1887; that was sold in 1908, 1909,
and 1912. (fn. 89) There was presumably a medieval
rectory house, perhaps repaired in 1405 when
the rector bought timber. (fn. 90) The house was certainly recorded in 1541 and 1662. (fn. 91) In 1736 the
rector found it too damp and unhealthy to live
in, and by 1747 he had rebuilt it. It was repaired
in 1778. (fn. 92) In the 1840s the timberframed housewas encased in grey brick and enlarged by the
addition of an entrance hall, staircase, and drawing room on the east. Then or a little later a
three-storeyed service tower was added to the
north-west. The work was probably carried out
for F. S. Grimston, rector 1847-66. (fn. 93) After the
union with Chappel in 1938 the house was sold,
the rector living in the former Chappel vicarage
house until a new house was built next to the
church in the early 1960s. That house was itself
sold after 1980, when the church was served
from Great Tey. (fn. 94)
Robert Northburgh, rector in the 1340s and
1350s and perhaps a relation of Michael North-
burgh, bishop of London 1354-61, seems to
have acted as a trustee for St. Botolph's priory,
Colchester, and the Hospitallers. (fn. 95) William
Okeham, rector 1399-1416 and a former rural
dean of Cambridge, leased part of the manorial
demesne in 1402 and 1404. (fn. 96) John Harrington
(1504-48) was accused in 1528 and 1529 of
adultery and of keeping his illegitimate son in
his house. (fn. 97) In 1540 he kept hogs and cows in
the churchyard, and so neglected the cure that
many parishioners died without the last rites. (fn. 98)
Before 1546 one parishioner gave land and
several others gave cows to endow obits. (fn. 99) The
Lady chapel and St. Mary's guild were recorded
in 1524. By 1548 the churchwardens had sold 6
old vestments, 1 cope, 5 banner cloths, 1 altar
cloth, and some church plate, but the church
retained 3 vestments, 2 copes, and 1 canopy
cloth from its preReformation equipment. (fn. 1)
John Colley, presented in 1548, was deprived,
presumably for marriage, in 1554, but restored
after Elizabeth 1's accession. (fn. 2) In 1560 he was a
particularly diligent, resident, incumbent. (fn. 3) His
puritan successor Robert Monk (1565-1601)
was a pluralist. (fn. 4) The curate in 1592 did not wear
the surplice and conducted services negligently,
his successor in 1596 did not beat the bounds.
In 1593 parishioners were not properly seated
in church according to their rank. (fn. 5)
Samuel Withers (1601-40) was commended
for living in the parish, where he leased a small
farm, in love and peace. (fn. 6) His royalist successor
Edward Layfield lost another living in 1645 but
retained Wakes Colne throughout what he
described as 20 years of calamity. (fn. 7) In 1684 the
church was reasonably well equipped, but continuing puritan influence was reflected in the
placing of a chest instead of the communion
table against the east wall of the chancel. (fn. 8) Most
18th- and early 19th-century incumbents were
nonresident or pluralists. (fn. 9) James Brome(1729-64) at first served Wakes Colne from
Pebmarsh, conducting one service each Sunday
and communion four times a year. (fn. 10) The pattern of services, with communion sometimes
administered only three times a year, was continued by his successors until 1812 or later.
Parishioners sometimes attended services at
Chappel or White Colne. (fn. 11)
Thomas Henderson, nonresident rector1831-42 and 1842-7, held Wakes Colne for the
patron's brothers, E. H. Grimston (1842) and
F. S. Grimston (1847-66). (fn. 12) The church was
apparently well served by a curate who claimed
in 1841 that over 80 per cent of the 444 people
in the parish belonged to the church, and that
communicants averaged 42. (fn. 13) On census Sunday
1851 congregations numbered 124 in the morning and 140 in the afternoon, including 39 and
40 Sunday School children, out of a population
of 499; (fn. 14) in 1862 there were 40 communicants. (fn. 15)
Edward Bartrum (rector 1887-1906) published
tracts, including Helpful Hints for Hard Times
(1895), for his poorer parishioners. (fn. 16)
A parish room, made from a railway carriage,
was sold in 1923. (fn. 17) In 1978 an 'alleged breakdown in pastoral relationships' between the
parish and the rector reduced congregations. (fn. 18)
Since 1980 the united benefice of Wakes Colne
and Chappel has been held with Great Tey. (fn. 19)
The church of ALL SAINTS, (fn. 20) of flint
rubble with limestone dressings, comprises
chancel with south vestry and nave with north
porch and west bell turret. The 12th-century
church comprised nave, central tower, and small
chancel, of which the nave, with its south doorway and several windows, and the north and
south tower walls survive. In the 14th century
the upper part of the tower was demolished and
the lower part was incorporated into a rebuilt
chancel with a chancel arch in the old west wall
of the tower. (fn. 21) Two windows were inserted in
the nave walls. The new nave roof, of scissor
brace and collar construction, survives, underceiled as a barrel roof. Early in the 15th century
the timber bell turret was built at the west end
of the nave, and the timber north porch was
added. (fn. 22) Early in the 16th century a squareheaded, brick window was inserted into the
south wall, and the surviving north door made.
In 1684 the bell turret, chancel roof, and buttresses needed repair. (fn. 23)
The bell turret or 'steeple' was rebuilt and the
porch repaired in 1807. A partition, complete
with door and bell, was made in the church in
1815, perhaps to create a vestry. (fn. 24) Before 1839
buttresses had been built or enlarged to support
the east wall. (fn. 25) A west gallery was enlarged
c. 1859. (fn. 26) In 1862 the church was repaired and
reseated. A vestry was built on the south side of
the chancel, and a new doorway to it cut through
the chancel wall; stairs in the north wall of the
chancel, perhaps made for a Lenten veil screen,
were blocked. The surviving brick east wall was
probably built at the same time. (fn. 27) About the
1890s the small window in the west wall was
replaced. In 1902-3 the bell turret was heightened, the plaster removed from the outside
walls, and perhaps the twolight window inserted into the enlarged opening of thewesternmost 12th-century window in the south wall of
the nave. (fn. 28)
The late 12th-century font, given in 1846 by
the rector Thomas Henderson, probably came
from his other church at Messing. (fn. 29) On the east
wall of the nave is a fragment of 16th-century
wallpainting, a diaper of black roses. The east
wall of the chancel was painted c. 1911. (fn. 30)
The three bells, (i) Henry Pleasant 1707 (ii)
Henry Jordan mid 15th century (iii) Miles Gray
1662, (fn. 31) were rehung in 1987. The plate includes
a cup of 1702 bought in 1703 to replace a stolen
one; it was itself sold or lost in 1876 and bought
back for the parish in 1912. (fn. 32)
The churchyard was enlarged in 1908 with
land given by C. P. Wood of Wakes Hall. (fn. 33)

Wiedmer: Tennessee Vols stuck in absurd situation
When we hired Dooley, I was all for him. But the fact of the matter, is that in his third year our rivals are distancing themselves from us in talent & we are 1-11 in the SEC; 0-11 against ranked teams & most importantly 0-9 against Florida, Georgia & Alabama. I see no way that Dooley is going to close the gap in recruiting & we need to stop the bleeding w/a big name coach that commands respect, that with his reputation would attract an all-star staff of great recruiters that can coach up the players & would allow us to catch up with our competition- that name would be Jon Gruden! He has said that he feels UT is one of 2 college coaching jobs that he would be interested in; has ties to the program as a grad asst.; his wife was a UT cheerleader from nearby Seiverville; & is reported that Gruden has bought some property near Knoxville. The quicker we can sever ties w/Dooley & jump on a Saban-like commodity, the better. With trustees like Jim Haslam (that just bought the Cleveland Browns), we have deep enough pockets to spend $5 million a year! UT is the second winningest program in the SEC & top ten in wins nationally. This once-storied program deserves better & not to wallow in bland mediocrity with the Vandys, Kentuckys & Ole Misses!!!

Wizards' John Wall with sweet 360 layup (VIDEO)
Mar 4, 2013, 2:06 PM EST
This play kind of got overlooked in the Sunday crush of Kobe and LeBron and Russell Westbrook, but John Wall can still make plays that have you turning your head.
The Wizards still need a lot more from John Wall — they need him to be aggressive, especially late in games like he was Sunday. They need him to have a jumper that is a threat (this season he is shooting 32 percent from 16 feet out to the arc and 8.3 percent from three), something else he flashed Sunday late in the game.
Because if he can add those things to that stuff from the video… that is what people were hoping to see when he went No. 1.

Report: US court steps into Samsung-Sharp spat
Summary: After November's ruling in favor of Sharp, International Trade Commission now agrees to look into Korean LCD maker's counter claims of patent infringement.
A U.S. trade court has agreed to look into Samsung's claims that Japanese rival Sharp had infringed its patents relating to LCD (liquid crystal display) technology.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said in a statement on its Web site that it has "voted to institute an investigation" into Samsung's complaint of patent infringement by Sharp, filed Dec. 1.
The Korean company's allegations, according to the statement, are made against Sharp Corporation of Japan and two of its American subsidiaries.
Legal disputes between Samsung, the global market leader in LCD TVs, and fourth-ranked Sharp are not new, according to Reuters. The news agency reported Thursday that the Japanese vendor earlier this month won an LCD patent lawsuit against Samsung in the Netherlands.
As part of the ruling, the court ordered Samsung's Dutch subsidiary to freeze imports and sales of its LCD panels and LCD TVs that tap the disputed technology. Samsung was also instructed to remove the products from store shelves.
The U.S. ITC, Reuters added, also ruled in favor of Sharp in mid-November, ordering Samsung to stop selling in the United States products that infringe Sharp's patents. In addition, the pair have ongoing LCD patent-related legal tussles in Japan, Germany and other parts of the United States, according to the report.
Both Samsung and Sharp are also embroiled in a legal suit brought on last month by Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia, which has accused several LCD vendors of conspiring to inflate prices of displays.

going home
Posted on | September 28, 2012 | 10 Comments
This weekend we're going to Indiana for my family reunion. There will be relatives there I haven't seen for years – some for decades. It's been over 25 years since I moved away. There will be aunts, uncles, cousins – my cousin's children's children! – it's hard to wrap my mind around.
It's comforting to think of going home. Being around people who have known me my whole life. People who know my history. People who love me because of who I am or even, just because I am. People who may not know my day to day life very well (although facebook has changed that somewhat), but who know ME. Know where I came from. Know my history. Share my past.
It's something I took for granted when I lived there. Part of being young, I think, you don't realize how special and fleeting the sense of love and acceptance that comes from being HOME can be. You grow up, you move on, you have your own family and you make your own home, but it's different. It can be wonderful in its own way, but different.
the yarn edition
Posted on | August 16, 2012 | 12 Comments
Like I said, I've been spinning…
700+ yards of three ply – Superwash Panda Fiber Sock Batts from The Cupcake Fiber Company. I bought these in March 2011, can't believe I waited so long to spin it!
400+ yards of chain plied Villain, March's Hello Yarn Club fiber. This is also a blend of superwash merino, bamboo and nylon. These will be some awesome socks!
250ish yards of mystery wool with sari silk bits – no idea what this will be!
I don't remember the yardage on this but I had 8 oz. of it, I think it was around 700. Another Hello Yarn Fiber Club offering – Broken Things on Falkland wool. One of these days I'll knit up a crazy blanket with all my multi-colored handspun. I certainly have enough of it.
Just to cleanse the pallet, here's a picture of the boy practicing his guitar! He's going to be a junior this year. I am dumbfounded.
Yet another Hello Yarn Fiber Club offering – Splendid on Romney. This just wanted to be singles, although I hardly ever spin singles. The staple length was really long, I think it'll be lovely in something lacy.
And this is what I'm spinning now – Pate de Fruit on Rambouillet. I've never spun Rambouillet before – it's similar to merino I think, very bouncy and poofy.
Honestly, I'll be happy when this spin is finished. I think I might be all spun out. I've reached that stage that seems to come at the end of every season – I don't want to work on any current projects. I'm bored with it all. But since so much of my yarn is in storage (and I haven't missed it! Shocker!), finishing up current projects is pretty much my only option. Which is probably a good thing, but nothing to get excited over!
it's been so long!

The past two months have just flown by! We finally got the house ready to be listed and it's been on the MLS for a couple of weeks now. No visits from prospective buyers yet, but August is notoriously slow for home sales. We have an open house scheduled in early September, so hopefully we'll get some traffic then. If not, I may have to put an ad on my cat!
The first weekend I wasn't doing house projects, I finished my mom's birthday quilt.
I hope she likes it, it's a smallish lap-size and I tried it out while hand-stitching the binding – worked well for me!
This was my first time to use polyester batting and I really like it! I used hi-loft and it gives the quilt a nice poofy, bouncy feel.
Knitting has really fallen by the wayside. Everything I was working on requires constant pattern referral and/or charts, and I've given up the loveseat to SB while he recuperates from bunion surgery. I've been sitting in the arm chair, which isn't large enough for me and my papers. He's 3+ weeks post-op, though, so I think it's about time I reclaimed the loveseat! I have been spinning though, and will post yarny pictures soon.
Ciao for now!

With two unfinished quilts, of course I took the supplies to begin an entirely new quilt with me on vacation!
Pattern: Made in Cherry, resized to be 60×60
Fabrics: Hodgepodge of all pink and orange fabrics in my stash, with solid Kona magenta and Denyse Schmidt prints for the back
My lovely niece requested an orange and purple quilt during my last visit home (I haven't lived there in 25 years, but Indiana will always be "home"). I asked if I could incorporate pink and she said yes, and I was hot on it. I'm so proud of her. She's spending six months as an intern at Disney as part of a college credit program and if you knew Syd, you'd know this is the perfect job/experience for her! She's always been a Disney princess! (and I mean that in the best way)
Posting will probably be even less frequent than normal because we've decided to put our house on the market! Which is exciting and full of possibilities, but also a TON of work! So far I have painted the den and my son's room, had the antique bathtub reglazed (why oh why didn't I do this before? It's gorgeous!), cleaned my closet, boxed up all my yarn (!!!) and most of my fiber, together with a ton of other things we don't use on a daily basis. Yesterday I stripped and cleaned the deck and we moved an armoire, china cabinet, large chair, dresser, and many boxes and tubs into storage. Have to make the house appear larger, you know! This weekend I'll be restaining the deck (if the weather cooperates), and I still have a bazillion other projects to do. So much so that even thinking about it wears me out! But it'll all be worth it if it helps our house sell quickly and for the most money.
I will still be doing some crafting to maintain my sanity; I need to finish my mom's b'day quilt and the only knitting readily accessible is all the unfinished projects that have been languishing! Yes, I purposely planned that so I would be forced to finish up some things. I'll let you know if it works. ;o)

I had the house to myself and kept busy. I finished my mom's birthday quilt top and worked on a scrappy quilt, strip pieced from two jelly rolls. I absolutely love this quilt – the waves of riotous color make me happy! I followed these instructions, but used only five strips per block instead of six to save fabric. This resulted in shorter lengths of one color and it was easier to see the pattern when laid out in waves rather than diamonds. It's so bright it'll put your eye out, but I still love it! I can't wait to make another!
school's out!

I feel like I'm the one on summer vacation! Except for the whole going to work thing. But no more checking homework assignments on-line! No more hounding the boy to work on projects! And he passed chemistry and geometry! Ah…bliss!
I've started a new quilt for my mother's birthday in August, using Laura Gunn's Poppy collection that I've had for about two years. These are beautiful fabrics!
Here's a peek. I found a vinyl tablecloth with flannel backing for $5 and created a design wall in the bedroom on the only bare wall in the house! I have a feeling the design wall will be up more than it's down… The picture stuck in the corner is my weight loss inspiration:
I'm guessing that was – oh, well thank you Santa, it was Summer '03. Nine years ago. I can get back there, right? Just going to take willpower and a lot of hard work. To be honest with you, I've fallen way off the wagon. I'm still holding the ten pounds I gained over the holidays and I've been so lax when it comes to working out. There always seems to be some excuse – run errands instead, work through lunch to leave early on Friday, coming down with a horrific cold/sinus infection. I have excuses for days. But, I'm thinking about doing a 14 week challenge sponsored by Tom Venuto, whose books I've read and whose opinion I respect. Grand prize is a trip to Hawaii, and I'm in it to win it! And even if I don't win the grand prize, I'll finish with a better body and be back on the road to a healthy lifestyle.
And I guess now that I've blogged about it, I have to do it.

A long time ago I bought a Botanica Encyclopedia and spent many hours one winter browsing its pages, taking notes on plants and flowers I loved and drawing elaborate plans for gardens I never planted. I planned a white garden with night-blooming nicotania, a Mary garden with white and blue flowers, cutting gardens and more rose gardens than you can imagine. One flower that struck me immediately was the African Daisy cultivar, Osteospermum Whirlygig. With its pinched petals, it looked like a flower from outer space. At the time, the only place that sold this particular cultivar was a garden shop outside London. I had an upcoming trip to London for my daughter's high school graduation present and tried to scheme a way to get the seeds (bringing back a live plant through customs was not going to happen) while we were there, but there were other sights to see and things to do and it didn't happen.
A couple of weeks ago, I found it at Home Depot. You'd better believe, I'll be saving these seeds.

Seems a finishing frenzy has struck at my house!
First I finished the upcoming birthday boy quilt:
and the back:
I quilted this before I got all brave with free motion quilting, so it's meandering wavy lines using my walking foot.
Then I finished the quilt mountain!
Again, I quilted the main section of the top with wavy lines, but knew I needed something different for the plain sides – that's when I decided to try my hand at free motion quilting. Unfortunately, I didn't allow for fabric shrinkage when I planned how much fabric to add to make the quilt queen-sized…I simply didn't think about it.
It *barely* fits our bed! Live and learn! (btw – making this quilt required, for my enjoyment, purchasing a new bedskirt and new pillow shams, which I found for $12.99 each at Home Goods! I couldn't believe it, bed skirts were at least $45 everywhere else I looked. Love a good bargain!) I've made the bed every day since finishing the quilt.
I've also finished some small knitting projects – two pair of socks.
These flew off the needles. I got the yarn (Trekking, old colorway) at the Destin Spin-In and love it. I'd like a sweater from this yarn, actually.
Some say it's manly, but I like it too!
Jaywalkers, from another yarn I got at the spin-in – String Theory Colorworks Continnuum in the Chlorobium Tepidum colorway. Let me tell you, knitting these was addictive! That little bit of cashmere (10%) goes a long way, the yarn was bouncy and soft and scrumptious.
And, that's all the FOs, folks! For now. I have finally put together a quilt sandwich with this top from September 2010 and I've either lost the binding or never made it in the first place. I think simple quilting lines and a black and white striped binding are called for.
it's Macro May!

Expect to be subjected to multiple random photographs!
I recently discovered the dry rub. Can I just say – this is so easy and SOOO good! The above collection of spices is for Jamacian Jerk dry rub, recipe found here. Nothing too outrageous, I had all the ingredients on hand. Slapped it on chicken breasts, let them sit for several hours in the fridge and then roasted in the oven.
Also – folks have wandered over from Vicki's oatmeal post and I don't think I ever posted the recipe here, so here 'tis:
My mix is: 3 cups regular oatmeal (not quick), 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 cup
walnut bits, 4 packets NuNaturals NuStevia (other brands might be sweeter
or less sweet) and 1 tsp. cinnamon. I put it all in a quart size baggie and take it to work – put about 1/2 cup in a coffee cup and add hot water. The mix lasts me about seven days, and I've calculated the nutrients to be 194 calories, 26 carbs, 7 fat, 7 protein.
In case anyone else comes looking. ;o)
Just checking in

to say hi!
I spent most of yesterday buried under quilt mountain! This free motion quilting thing is addictive! (the picture is horrendous but was too funny not to share)

Toyota recalling 778,000 RAV4, HS 250h units for loose suspension fasteners
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Aug 1st, 2012 at 7:00PM
Toyota has announced that it will recall a total of 778,000 units that may have been manufactured with improperly-tightened nuts on the rear suspension. The manufacturer says around 760,000 2006-2011 Toyota RAV4 models and 18,000 2010 Lexus HS 250h units may have fasteners that were not torqued to the correct specification during alignment. If that's the case, excess wear could occur and pave the way for rust and separation, which in turn could cause an accident. Toyota says the company is currently working on a solution. Once available, the manufacturer will notify owners and ask them to... Read More

For nearly 40 years, South Florida auctioneer Irwin Sherwin has vicariously rubbed elbows with America's rich and famous - some living, most dead - by selling their jewelry and art objects: Elizabeth Taylor's sapphire engagement ring, Bing Crosby's belt buckle, Kate Smith's Cartier clock.
But recently, some regulators and former customers say Sherwin was doing much more than driving hard bargains.
In lawsuits and complaints spanning the past decade, they have accused Sherwin, 69, the operator of Beach Auction House in Deerfield Beach, of such things as keeping or losing items left on consignment, rigging bids, bouncing checks and lying about the quality of the goods he was selling.

If your loved one has dementia, deciding when they can no longer drive is a difficult decision. They may react in different ways:
People with signs of dementia should have regular driving tests. Even if they pass a driving test, they should be retested in 6 months.
If your loved one resists you getting involved in their driving, get help from their health care provider, lawyer, or other family members.
Even before you see driving problems in someone with dementia, look for these signs that they may be at risk for driving badly:
Signs that driving may be getting more dangerous are:
It may help to set limits when driving problems start. Stay off busy roads, or do not drive at times of the day when traffic is heaviest.
Do not drive when the weather is bad. Do not drive long distances. Drive only on roads the patient is used to.
Caregivers should try to lessen the person's need to drive without making them feel isolated. Have someone deliver groceries, meals, or prescriptions to their home. Find a barber or hairdresser who will make home visits. Arrange for family and friends to visit and take them out for a few hours at a time.
Plan other ways to get your loved one places. Family members or friends, buses, taxis, and senior transportation services may be possibilities.
As danger to others or to your loved one increases, you may need to prevent to them from being able to use the car. Some ways to do this are:

With Rocksteady taking the Batman franchise to new levels of awesomeness (is that a word?) it's only natural that gamers everywhere want to know what's next for the developer. Well if rumour is anything to go by it could be that they're busy working on a game based on four famous turtles.
Paul Gale Network is reporting the game will be titled 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Crisis' They also mention the turtles will have access to their own unique weapons including shurikens, smoke bombs, grappling hooks and climbing foot spikes. Flashbacks playable with Master Splinter will also be included.
They go on to report the game is in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.
It's worth noting this is all entirely rumour at the moment. If confirmed to be true however, we could be seeing the revival of another comic book franchise from the developer.

The relevance of the American black male in the 21st century offers the impetus for a yearlong series of candid community conversations. The second event, "Where is the Black Male? The Invisible Man on High School and College Campuses", will be held on Thursday, August 21 at 6:00 PM at UNC Charlotte Center City.

The Question Bridge: Black Males transmedia art project, hosted by the Gantt Center, serves as a foundation for the sessions.
"Together, we will explore the unique challenges faced by the black American male – a man who, in many cases, still searches for his authentic self in a society within which he continues to be misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrepresented," said Jeffrey Leak, director of the Center for the Study of the New South. "We welcome all members of the community to join us for what is sure to be opportunities for thoughtful, respectful dialogue."
Panelists for the August 21 event include:
- Dr. C. P. Gause, Founder and Editor, Journal of Black Masculinity
- Dr. Arthur Jackson, Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs, UNC Charlotte
- Dr. Chance Lewis, Carol Grotnes Belk Distinguished Professor, Endowed Chair of Urban Education, UNC Charlotte

Portland Opera's annual Newmark productions are always among its most anticipated, not just for the intimate nature of the theater, but for the ability of the company to take risks. With the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia as its coproducer, the opera is tackling an original production of Handel's Rinaldo, a fantastical tale of a knight in the First Crusade who must battle sorcerers, spirits, and dragons to save the woman he loves—a fitting plot for the opera that first introduced magic effects and magnificent stage machines to London audiences in 1711. Fortunately, our knight will have at his side the fine musicians of Portland Baroque Orchestra as his accompaniment, the second such collaboration for the two organizations. (PBO will also perform its own Handel concerts March 22–24).
"In other words, it's like Terry Gilliam got hold of Handel's masterpiece to create The Adventures of Rinaldo Munchausen, starring Prince. And the result is utterly charming. Backed by the expert playing of the Portland Baroque Orchestra in the intimate Newmark Theatre, it is very likely the standout show of the opera's season..."

Video Part 1 of 2: The first attempt to communicate with "Steve"
Within the first few moments of our attempt to communicate with Steve, Gary felt a presence grabbing both arms pulling him towards the creek. Within seconds, the EVP recorded the sounds, "go further." Gary was so disturbed by his experience, he insisted abandoning the site and any involvement. The first attempt to communicate with Steve came to a close.
This EVP was capture on our first evp session just 3 seconds prior so Gary getting grabbed. "Go Further"
This EVP is faint so you might want to turn your volume up.
As the team was packing up to leave, one of the members saw the shadow of a white figure crossing the bridge. They moved towards the bridge where sounds of rocks being thrown below the bridge and near the guard rails were heard by everyone. The KII Meter started responding to several questions being directed to "Steve" and Class B EVPs recorded, "help" while other Class C EVPs were also recorded.
EVP (help)
While the investigative team made their way back to their cars, the KII Meter continued to record high energy levels and direct responses from questions being asked of "Steve."
Ghost Hunting Investigation Highway 22
The Dark Revelations team recently headed to Bosque County, TX at the request of a good friend who had lost someone in a tragic automobile accident.
To fully understand the investigation, we need to take you back more than 10 years to the night of the accident along the dark country roads of Highway 22. Imagine, if you will, only the lights from the night sky.
Steve and his wife were returning home late one night after a holiday party with friends. He lost control of the car and in an instant the couple found themselves careening off the side of the slippery road and subsequently trapped in their overturned car.
Steve perished in the accident and his wife lay trapped on top of his lifeless body nearly two days until help arrived. Strangely, it was Steve's body that kept his wife just out of harms way of the deadly waters.
Despite the many years since his friend's death and his overall skepticism of the paranormal, Gary continued to struggle with unanswered questions and a strong desire to revisit Steve's place of death.
January 10, 2009; the phase of the moon was full, the night was bitterly cold and clear. The Dark Revelations team arrived at the site with Gary, Steve's lifelong friend, anxious to begin. There seemed to be an uneasiness which settled over everyone and strange experiences began to happen to each of the team members. The KII Meter was definitely registering electromagnetic fields and there were several Electronic Voice Phenomenon (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) captured on the digital voice recorders that night.
But the most unusual experience that night belonged to that of Steve's friend, who in many ways simply wanted to know his lifelong friend was at peace. He began to encounter what he described later as a familiar presence around him…
Video Part 2 of 2: The second attempt to communicate with "Steve"
Upon returning to the Highway 22 site, this time without Gary, the Dark Revelations team utilized an EMF (Electromagnetic Field) Meter for nearly 15 minutes sweeping the area of the creek and bridge for possible activity, resulting in normal activity.Next, the KII meter was used in an attempt to communicate with Steve utilizing random questions. Before ending the session, all the battery life in the EMF Meter, camera, and camcorders were prematurely and simultaneously exhausted. Recorded several Class C EVPs during this session.
After returning from charging and replacing the batteries in the equipment, the third attempt to communicate with "Steve" in the creek was under way. The KII Meter registered activity only once. The Dark Revelations team decided to leave since there was apparently no more activity.

Here is some class c EVP's that we recorded during our ghost hunting investigation. We cannot make out what they are saying. Tell us what You think.
