Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Expect a gun fight at the not-so-OK Cabal
If you envisioned a more civil and bipartisan House in 2013, you might want to look beyond Wednesday, the first day of the session.
Several contentious issues will be debated, including whether representatives should be prohibited from bringing a firearm into Representatives Hall and adjoining areas.
Two years ago, the House's first action under then-Speaker Bill O'Brien was to lift a 40-year ban prohibiting any guns on the House floor. With that vote, the new policy allowed members to have firearms with them, provided they were concealed.
This month, the House Rules Committee voted along party lines, 6-4, to reinstate the ban. Democrats said doing so would simply be a return to the way the House had operated for nearly half a century.
One of their assertions was that guns should not be present when fourth-graders visit the House Gallery. When youngsters are in the building, said House Majority Leader Steve Shurtleff, it is their classroom, and guns should not be part of that environment.
House Republican leader Gene Chandler, however, said his caucus is not convinced the change would improve safety. He also said the proposal's reference to "adjacent areas'' is ambiguous.
"Are you talking five feet, 10 feet or 20 feet," he said, adding that it could lead to enforcement problems, particularly if the Senate does not adopt a similar rule, which it is not expected to do.
Several gun-rights advocates in the House have promised a vigorous floor fight over the change. It's worth noting, however, that the committee did not seek to change a provision that would forbid the searching of House members, which would essentially makes the prohibition subject to the honor system.

BUDGET WORK: House and Senate budget writers are not wasting time as they face a very challenging task: putting together a balanced, two-year spending plan in the face of slow growth in revenues and a surge in spending requests.
Work on the fiscal years 2014 and 2015 operating budget begins this week, with House Finance and Ways and Means committees meeting Wednesday after the House session.
The Senate Finance and Ways and Means committees will meet Jan. 8 for briefings by the legislative budget assistant and the Department of Revenue Administration.
The same day, the House Ways and Means Committee begins two days of briefings by public and private economic folks.
The House and Senate budget committees will meet Jan. 7 to hear presentations by representatives of the National Conference of State Legislatures, the legislative budget assistant, the N.H. Center for Public Policy Studies, UNH's Carsey Institute and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan this month told department heads to pare their requests for the next two years. The total increase in all state government spending would be about 19 percent under budget plans devised by department heads.
Revenue growth is not expected to reach 3 percent during the next fiscal year.
There are also some tax reductions enacted this year through business tax changes that will further reduce revenues, and several settlements involving the DHHS will cost the state tens of millions of dollars in the upcoming budget.
It is not a pretty picture.

MIXED SEATING: When the House convenes Wednesday, there will be no more segregation: Republicans and Democrats will be seated next to each other.
Republicans and Democrats have generally sat in their own sections, with Section 5 for the bad boys and girls of both parties. Well, not really, but that's the way it often worked out. House Speaker Terie Norelli decided to end all that.
"The November election sent a clear message from citizens that they have grown weary from the lack of cooperation in government. I believe that mixing Democrats and Republicans on the House floor is a change that will foster a spirit of cooperation among members regardless of party affiliation," Norelli said Friday. "It is my hope that, as we face difficult decisions over the next two years, we will find common ground and compromise for solutions to these challenges. Getting to know one's seatmate is another step toward bipartisan dialogue."

The Daytime Drama Dish: General Hospital Returns!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The lead item in today's rundown of soap opera news involves a pair of returning General Hospital actresses...
- Constance Towers is returning to General Hospital.
- So is Emma Samms.
- Is a Days of Our Lives star dating Hayden Panettiere?!?
Is Darin Brooks hooking up with Hayden Panettiere?

I just finished watching today's episode of General Hospital.
I have watched this show from the many, many years ago, approximately the 1970? When it started after the show, "The Edge of Night". This is the only soap opera that I ever watch now. I did watch "Port Charles" also when it was on. Since young Dominic has been injured and has a bleeding kidney. They are now looking for a donated kidney. What I want to know (and it is not specific in the show). If this is only affecting the one kidney, take it out. He can live with only one kidney! I had my left kidney taken out from a serious infection over 50 years ago. We can live all the rest of our lives with just one if we do "things in moderation" as my kidney specialist said. Why is this not done for him?

Ray Allen reaches 20,000-point milestone
With a three-pointer with about five minutes left in the third quarter, Ray Allen reached the 20,000 point milestone for his career. According to today's Boston Globe, of the 36 players who have reached the milestone, 26 have been inducted to the Hall of Fame and seven of the remaining 10 players are not yet eligible for induction.
About the record, Allen told Yahoo! Sports:
"It's a big number," Allen conceded. "To me, it's a wondrous accomplishment. It's about staying healthy, taking care of my body, being on a good team. A lot of things. But I'm still working hard every day to get better and I can't afford to focus on numbers. The more games I can play, the more games we can win, that's where the focus is. On this team, we don't pay attention to the individual stuff."
With all them points, a championship ring and maybe more to come, plus his reputation as one of the best three-point shooters in NBA history, you can book Ray Allen into the Hall right now. The only things left are to design his plaque and write his speech.
Congrats, Ray. You're a class act and you deserve everything that comes to you.

2001 Chevrolet S10 Question: egr not working
Answer #1mastertech6371 January 12, 2011, 12:23Master
usually the egr picks up carbon and the valve remains open causing a vaccuum leak that makes the idle very erratic.

i've already replaced egr and it still giving code egr closed performance, what could it be need help!!
Answer #2ZeeTech January 12, 2011, 12:53Master
I think Roy is correct. The valve might be open due to carbon deposit, ECM or wiring problem.
There is a new style gasket developed with a fine screen which would stop the bigger pieces of carbon deposits to enter the valve.
Faulty pintle position sensor could also keep the valve open.

Check for vacuum leaks? This egr should be electronic. I would also check fuel pressure as well. Do you have any check engines lights on? If so, what are the codes?

Hi Vik - guru? (blush), no I don't think so.
The log file is always used by SQL server, no matter what database model you use. It's nothing to do with SIMS or any other app, it's the way the SQL server operates.
Any change made by SIMS, for instance, is first written to the log file by the server. This is so that in the event of the cleaner pulling the socket out of the wall, when the SQL server starts up it will be able to check for uncommitted transaction stored in the log file. It scans through these and commits any un-committed logs into the database.)
So, no matter what model of database you use, the log file is an integral part of the database system.
There's some confusion over how the log file is 'used'. It's always used by SQL server, it needs it to maintain a consistent state. But in the case of backups, not so.
In the case of a 'full' backup model, you can restore the database to a point in time by restoring the database then restoring all or some of the transactions in the log file, to any point in time. This is the most flexible system, but requires planning.
In the case of the 'simple' database model, the log file is not (and cannot) to used as part of the restore - it is only used by the SQL server to maintain consistency and to recover its state in the event of a crash or power failure. The simple model only permits you restore a whole backup, any changes made after the last backup will be lost.
Next, why does the log file get bigger? When the SQL server 'knows' that the database has been backed up, it can be sure that the items in the log file before that backup are not needed. After all, we have a backup of that database at that point. The log file is truncated, which means that the portion of disk previously used by the old transaction items can be re-used. A bit like a tape-loop. All being well, and backups running regularly, the log file doesn't grow; it is reused.
If backups go wrong, the SQL server is unable to truncate the log file is it cannot guarantee that the data can be recovered - we haven't backed up the database, so it must keep the logs in case we need to commit the logs into a restored database to bring it up to date. Of course, the 'tape loop' concept fails as we run out of space, so it must extend the physical size of the file, hence the increase in log size.
Be aware that truncating the log is not the same as shrinking the log. Truncating the log makes virtual markers in the log indicating that sections of the log file can be re-used. This doesn't resize the file. Shrinking the file actually reduces the physical space the file takes up by re-organising the log file and throwing away unused space. Unless something crazy has happened (as in @SHimmer45 's case) there's no need to bother shrinking the log file.

Today, 2nd of July 2014, is the saddest day of life, I lost my kitten Millie today, she passed away in the early hours of today, due to bowel cancer.
I can't sleep, think right, or anything, I miss her.
She was to loving, kind, sweet, she always came for cuddles, she never scratched anyone, had a child, and loved him dearly. Playful, tender, soft and warm.
And now she's gone...

Rest in Peace sweet sweet Millie.

Facebook Raises Risk of Eating Disorders
A recently published study by researchers at the University of Haifa found that teenage girls who frequent Facebook are more likely to develop a negative body image that can result in the onset of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and exaggerated dieting. Additionally, adolescent girls exhibited lower levels of personal empowerment and self confidence. These findings suggest that social networking sites play as vital a role in the prevalence of eating disorders as traditional media outlets such as magazines, TV, and print ads.

The (menu) plan, Stan.
I used to be an amazing planner.
Pre-baby, I would pick 4-5 meals to make for the week and then write a corresponding grocery list so that I'd have everything I needed to make each meal.
And then I had a baby, and any free brain space (or hands) were relegated to keeping said baby alive.
Even though I stopped planning out our meals, I still dutifully went to the grocery store every week and spent a good amount of money on food. I'm not even sure what I bought most weeks, just that there were *things* in the house to eat.
When it came time for dinner, The Hubster would ask (as sweetly as possible) what's for dinner. And each night, I felt exasperated and exhausted, and came up with a big fat blank around what to make.
So, we ended up having the same three things every week: pasta, burgers, and a frozen meal of some sort from Trader Joe's. Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of.
I know that menu planning is necessary. I know that it helps in every way; from to keep me sane to saving money, to having the right things in the house.
And yet, I fought it. Tooth and nail.
The very last thing I wanted to do when the baby went down for bed was pull out my cookbooks, research on Pinterest, and put together a grocery list.
A few weeks ago, after finally admitting that I had no clue what to make for dinner yet again, I hunkered down and made a plan.
It's amazing how a little plan like that can make a HUGE impact.
Dinner has been a breeze.
We've been enjoying new things. Hooray for variety!
And it's been so much less stressful.
That 10-15 minutes that it took to pull together the menu for the week was SO WORTH every second. In fact, I'm pretty sure it saved me hours of stress, trying to think about what to make each night.
And because I have never been any good at stopping while I'm ahead, I decided to create a new menu planner template (or two) to help keep me organized and sane. Now, the biggest question of the week has become… which template will I be using to plan out our menu?!
(So far, it's been Plan B.)

Sales Representative Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at GEICO.
I filled out the application online and received an email the next day asking me to schedule a phone interview.The interviewer called promptly at my scheduled time. She asked a couple basic questions and about my availability. I ultimately withdrew my application because of the requirement of employees to work weekends, two major holidays, and hours that can be anywhere from 6am- midnight. I just wasn't willing to sacrifice that much time with my family.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at GEICO in August 2014.Interview Details
The interview process is long and tedious. If you make it to the end, plan on being there for about 5-6 hours. First there is the phone interview that is really basic. Then there is the computer test, which is basically gauging how well you handle stress and how well you multi-task and type. Then you have the f2f interview with the initial interviewer, do your research on the company and the position you are applying for so you can cater you answers to their needs. They will basically ask you the usual questions, i.e. "Why did you chose Geico?" "Why this position?" "How long could you see yourself working here?" etc. Then they have you do a role playing test, which tests out how well you can sell a product and how good your people skills are. If you make it past all of this, they will have you shadow someone-which you need to pay attention, because they will ask you about what you heard. The last step is having the f2f interview with the hiring manager.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at GEICO in May 2014.Interview Details
I initially applied for customer service rep and upon arriving to my interview (after a phone call/screening) I was advised to continue my interview for a sales position based on my experience and GPA. First they put you in a computer lab to take an hour long typing and skills test. It is basic and pretty easy if you have experience on the computer. Then I sat down with someone from HR and they asked me why I was a good fit, what my qualities are, what leadership positions I have held, etc. Very basic interview questions for the most part. Then they had me do a role play and I had to make a sale to a person calling in to a fake company three times in a row. The gentleman told me I had passed afterwards and that I would hear back from him shortly. I got called for a second interview a week laster and I will be attending it tomorrow.Interview Questions

They first call you and give you a phone interview that asks you about generals and asks you a situational question. They then ask you why you would think you are eligible for a job with them. They give you specifics about the position and then If you pass the first part they'll schedule a in person interview.
The second part includes a computer test that puts you in a simulated sales position including several different situations where people call you and you get emails. You also get a Typing test. If you pass this part (which takes about an hour) they'll interview you in person for about 30 minutes. Ask you specific questions about previous jobs.
The third part is role playing. They give you information on a fake company and then you have to receive calls and try to sell. This is by far the most difficult part since they throw you everything.
After that they'll email you with the result.Interview Questions

I did a lenghty applicaiton online which had some questions tied into it. Afterwards I was contacted to setup a phone interview. I was called by a gentlemen who was extremely nice. He asked me about my working history and education, typical interview questions.
After that I went in for computer testing on a Saturday, which is not something that I have been able to do with other jobs (most only offer weekdays). The staff in the afternoon was excellent. I went thru a face to face interview after that and some skills testing. Finally I was asked to go for a face to face interview with a member of management. Before I did that I sat with someone actually doing the job, which was great to actually see the job one on one. The hiring staff made it a pretty simple process.Interview Questions

This blog covers everything except sports and gardening, unless we find a really good link about using dead professional bowlers for mulch. The author is a StarTribune columnist, has been passing off fiction and hyperbole as insight since 1997, has run his own website since the Jurassic era of AOL, and was online when today's college sophomores were a year away from being born. So get off his lawn.
Obvious headline: These Upworthy Titles Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity. But You Won't Believe What Happens Next. Article:
Clickbait is bad. Clickbait is ruining journalism. Everyone knows this. Everyone hates the formulaic success that BuzzFeed has generated with endless listicles about animals, the 90s, and animals in the 90s. Upworthy inspires a slightly more complex disdain: it claims to engage in advocacy by "raising awareness" through viral videos about "issues" instead of cats and the quizzes. Most of the more political friends I know HATE this "clicktivism," since it gives "readers" a sense of political involvement because they watched a video about a kid who stood up to bullies. And traditional media don't seem too happy with Upworthy either; responses range from indignation to smirking analysis to truly depressing defeatism.
The article goes on to describe the grammar and style of click bait headlines.
A quick perusal of today's Upworthy page shows sundry examples of this construction, which range from the accusatory:
There's A World War Happening Online Right Now. And You Might Be A Mercenary In It.
to the empowering:
If You Could Press A Button And Murder Every Mosquito, Would You? Because That's Kinda Possible.
No, it's not. And sit up straight. Stop using words like Kinda in headlines. Here are some upworthy-style headlines I noticed over the weekend. Didn't click on one.
What, they found it ten miles away, with its hair tousled? NEXT
"Insanely powerful" should be reserved for stories on Idi Amin. NEXT
I love how this article had the keyword "Impala," in case I want to store it for more boggling revelations about the inscrutible reasons for impala movement. NEXT
Unless it's "stop reading clickbait," I'm not interested.

URBANISM Can Paradise Be Planned? asks this NYT article on Garden Suburbs, as the author joints the ranks of people struggling to understand why people live in places the author does not like. I mean, listen to what a futurist says about a collection of aerial photographs of suburbs:
"It is an encounter in the most literal sense," writes the futurist Geoff Manaugh in Gielen's jarring yet utterly mesmerizing new book, "Ciphers." "A forensic confrontation with something all but impossible to comprehend."
The dreamless law of Cthulul? No, a picture of an Arizona subdivision.That said, the aforementioned futurist is Gizmodo's editor-in-chief, and has an interesting architecture / urban blog. Speaking of which: when a Giz writer looked at New Urbanism, she had to ask: why is it "so gosh darn creepy?" In the example she cites, the evidence suggests an obvious answer: because it's pre-fab gimcrack historicism plopped in place all at once.
When done right, though, it provides a model of urban design some people prefer to the classic suburb with a rambler and a garage. It's not for everyone. No model is. So let the developers build what they think the market will bear. I'd rather learn from what people choose than listen to this NYT commenter:
I think most people might choke on #4.
TV In case you haven't bookmarked it, a reminder to hit Vulture on Monday for Matt Zoller Seitz' "Mad Man" recap. Haven't read the comments yet, but I'm sure everyone is praising Sally. I can't stand that kid.

About John Benjamin
- John and Richard Benjamin (believed to be brothers) of Heathfield, Sussex, England sailed to America on the ship "Lyon" and arrived in Boston on 16 September 1632. John and his wife, Abigail Eddy, settled in Newtown Mass (today called Cambridge) with their children. Harvard College was established in 1636, the same year John's mansion burned down, and Harvard owns the land that originally belonged to John Benjamin. That may be true, though I called the keeper of records at both Cambridge and Gray's Inn but was not given any information proving John Benjamin's attendance.
- Frank Everett Benjamin, researching the John and Richard lineage in England, found Wills from Lewes, East Sussex, England. These were transcribed from the Old English or Latin and show John Benjamin's father married Joane Hookes on January 18, 1584. Their children were listed as follows: John (1585), Susan (1586), Thomas (1587), Joane (1589), Gyles (1591), and Richard (1602).
- John Benjamin, Sr. died on September 4,1606 and Joane died on May 20,1619.
- John Benjamin met John Winthrop while they were at Cambridge University and they maintained a strong friendship. Their families lived near each other in Heathfield, Sussex County, England. John Benjamin and John Winthrop were upset with the Church of England because Charles I refused to introduce the full Presbyterian system of church government. Two of their friends were sent to prison in 1629 because they opposed the Parliament of Charles I. This was the last parliament before the English Civil War. In April of 1629, John Winthrop was deprived of his office of Attorney in the Court of Wards and Liveries. In addition, John Winthrop wished to find a place to establish a "City of God". Therefore, they decided to take their families to the New World.
Abigail (Eddy) Benjamin's brothers, John and Samuel, had already sailed on the ship, Handmaid, in 1630. That same year, John Winthrop and his sons Henry, Stephen and Samuel sailed on the Arabella, the Flag-ship and three other vessels of the newly established Winthrop Fleet. This Fleet and the Charter for the Massachusetts Bay Colony had been signed by Charles I in 1629. On August 23, 1631 Mrs Margaret (Clopton) Winthrop sailed on the Lyon, under the command of William Pierce Master, arriving in Nantucket on November 2, 1631 with John Winthrop Jr. and her children Adam and Ann. John Benjamin, his wife Abigail and children John, Abigail, Samuel and Mary accompanied by Abigail's sister Anna Eddy sailed from London, England for America on the ship Lyon, Capt. Wm. Pierce Master, on June 22, 1632.
John and Richard took an oath of allegiance to King Charles 1 administered by Captain Mason before the ship sailed for the New World. There were 120 passengers, including 50 children, on the voyage. After being at sea for twelve weeks, they cast anchor at Boston Harbor on Sunday Evening, September 16, 1632. This was the final voyage of the ship, Lyon. In November, while returning to England, it was wrecked on a shoal a few miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake River.
The passenger list also shows a Richard Benjamin (bc 1602 in England). Richard was a younger brother of John. Richard settled in Watertown, MA, along with the Benjamin Family. About 1637/8 he married Anna (Simeon). Their children were: Mary (1638), Simeon (1640), Anna (1643) born in Watertown, MA. Richard became a proprietor in Watertown in 1642. The family moved to Southhold, Long Island sometime between 1645 and 1651. Richard (1645) and Simeon (1647) are believed to have been born in Southhold, Long Island. Richard Benjamin became a Freeman in 1664.
Upon arrival in America, John settled with his family in Newtowne, MA. John and Richard Benjamin were the first by that name to settle in America. John Benjamin became a Freeman on November 6, 1632 in Watertown, MA.
John Benjamin transported many household items including a large
library to America. He paid 30 pounds for transportation. He bought six acres and built what Governor John Winthrop described as a "mansion, unsurpassed in elegance and comfort by all in the vicinity. He called him Mister, a title only afforded a few at the time". He was appointed Constable by the General Court on May 20, 1633. In 1635 he was made one of the five surveyors of the lands… In 1645 he purchased 16 acres owned by Captain Sedgwick at Watertown. In June 12, 1645 he appointed his brother in-law, John Eddy and a friend ,Thomas Marret, executors of his will.

He immigrated on 16 Sep 1632 to Boston, Suffolk Co., MA. He arrived on the ship Lyon. He had an estate probated on 3 Jul 1645 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA.
---------------- John Benjamin - was chr. on 21 Mar 1585 and died on 14 Jun 1645 in Watertown, Middlesex Co., MA . He was the son of John Benjamin and Joan Hookes. John married Abigail Eddy in 1619 in Cranbrook, co. Kent, England. Abigail was born on 1 Oct 1601 in Cranbrook, co. Kent, England. She was the daughter of Rev William Eddye and Mary Forsten. She died on 20 May 1687 in Charlestown, Middlesex Co., MA .
John - - along with his brother Richard left Herefordshire for America and arrived on the ship "Lion" in 1632. (Same crossing as James Olmsted and Nicholas Olmsted). John Benjamin, a proprietor of Cambridge, was admitted freeman 6 November, 1632, and was constable 20 May, 1633. Of his house in Cambridge Governor Winthrop wrote: "Mr. Benjamin's mansion was unsurpassed for elegance and comfort by any in the vicinity. It was the mansion of intelligence, religion, and hospitality, visited by the clergy of all denominations, and by the literati at home and abroad. His library was said to be one of the finest in the country. It was probably destroyed in the fire in 1636 which burned his house, valued at 100œ. The next year the Watertown records show grants of land to him. There he died 14 June, 1645. His will is of date 12 June; the inventory shows an estate valued at 297œ 3s 2d. The list of books includes a Book of Martiers. His widow Abigail went with her daughter, Abigail Stubbs, to Charlestown, where she died 20 May, 1687, aged eighty-seven." Source: "Powers-Banks Ancestry" by John Leslie Powers (1921) (Sources: - 1)
-------------------- from: "Benjamin Family in America" by Gloria Wall Bicha and Helen Benjamin Brown
John Benjamin was born either about 1580 or 1598 (depends on which book is referenced) in Sussex County England. He married Abigail Eddye of Crantbrooke, Kent County, England on about 1619. On June 22, 1632 John Benjamin, his wife and four children sailed for America on the Ship "Lion". John took the oath of allegiance to the King and government of England before he embarked. At sea for twelve weeks they arrived in Boston Harbor on Sunday evening September 16, 1632. It is speculation what brought John to America. It is believed that he was friends with John Winthrop who came in 1630 and became governor of MA. Also two of Abigail's brothers had come ahead.
John settled in Newtowne (now Cambridge) MA and on November 6, 1632 he became a Freeman. A Freeman had the right of suffrage, advantages in the division of land and before the representative system started, Freeman were members of the General Court. To qualify for this privilege was to be a church member. John was one of the original proprietors of the Freeman of Boston becoming a member only two months after arriving in Boston. This was an unusual honor and perhaps a record of the high regard the community placed on him.
John was a member of the Church of Christ in Cambridge and later of the First Church of Watertown.
John on six acres of land built what Governor Winthrop described as "Mansion...unsurpassed in elegance and comfort by all in the vicinity. It was also a mansion of religion and hospitality; visited by the clergy of all denominations and by the literate at home and abroad". It appears that John was both wealthy and well educated. He was addressed as "Mister" by the Governor, a title of respect afforded by few at the time. He was appointed constable by the General Court on May 20, 1633.
April 7, 1636 the Benjamin home in Newtowne was damaged badly by fire and records show a one hundred pounds loss. Tradition says he had a large, fine library, but this was not reflected in his will so maybe they were lost in the fire.
In 1637 John moved his family to Watertown, MA.
On June 12, 1645, just two days before he died, John made a will. It is on file at the Suffolk County, MA Probate Office.

John Benjamin,
Born about 1598; died in Watertown, June 14, 1645. came to Boston, Mass., in the ship Lion, Sept. 16. 1632, and was made freeman the 6th of November following. May 20,1633, he was chosen constable of New Town, (Cambridge,) by the General Court. Nov. 7, 1634, he was exempted from training on account of age and infirmity, but was required to have, at all times, arms for himself and servants.
He was of New Town, (Cambridge,) in Oct. 1636, and settled in Watertown about the year 1637. His homestall of sixty acres in Watertown was situated east of Dorchester Field, and bounded south by' Charles River. He owned three other large lots. Besides these, it is supposed that he purchased several homestalls in Watertown of those who migrated to Wethersfield. Gov. Winthrop designated him as Mr. Benjamin ; the title Mister being rare in those days. His will, dated 12 (4) 1646, is upon record at the Probate Office for Suffolk Co. The following is an abstract of his will:
I John Benjamin being in pfect memory, as touching my outward estate—do bequeath to sonne John a double portion, beloved wife two Cowes, fourty bushels of Corne out of all my lands, to be allowed her towards the bringing vp of my smale Children yearly such as growes vppon the ground, one part of fower of all my houshold stufie, all the rest of my lands goods and chattels shall be equally divided between seven other of my children. Provided that out of all my former estate my wife during her life shall enjoy the dwelling house I live in, and three Acres of the broken vp ground next the house, & two Acres of the Meddowe neere hand belonging to the house. That this will be truly pformed I do appoint my brother John Eddie of Watertowne & Thomas Marrit of Cambridge that they doe theire best Indevor to see this pformed. John Benjamin.
Witnes Georg Muniage [Muning]. the 15 (4) 45.
This was proved to be the last will & testament of John Benjamin & that he did further declare (as an addition to this his will) that his wife should have liberty to take wood for her vse vppon any of his Lands dureing her life vppon the Oath of John Eddye Before
(5) 3 1645. Thomas Dudley Gov.
BENJAMIN.— May 20, 1633. Mr. John Benjamin was chosen constable of New
Town [Camb.] by the General Court. Nov. 7, 1634, he was exempted from training
on account of age and infirmity, but was required to have, at all times, arms for him-
self and servants. He was of New Town, in Oct. 1636, and there was a mistake in
saying that his house was burned in Watertown. It is conjectured that he purchased
several homestalls in Watertown, of those who migrated to Wethersfield. N.B. The
references on p. 27, are to Hinman's Catalogues, 1st edition. See his 2d ed., pp.
Inventory of the real estate of John Benjamin, Sen. [1.], proved July 3, 1645. House
and meadow next the mill, lot bought of John Bernard, £50 ; house and 60 acres
(homestall) £75; 10 acres of meadow, near Oyster Bank, £10: 10 acres in Rocky
Meadow, £13; 8 acres in Great Dividends, £J2; 16 acres in Wat., bought Ap. 20,
1645, of Capt. Robert Sedgwick, of Charlestown, £10.
p. 26. [2.] Nov. 4, 1646. The validity of the Will of Mary Benjamin, "being under
age," was set aside by the Gen. Court, and her mother Abigail appointed admin'x.
p. 27. [3.] Mrs. Abigail Woodward was wit. in Court, June, 1671, then aged 47, showing
that she was b. in England about 1624.
E3P John Benjamin, Sen., had a son Joseph, of whom there is no mention in Wat.
records, and who settled in Barnstable. He m., June 10, 1661, Jemima, dr. of Tho-
mas and Joice Lambert, of Barnstable. • Oct. 30, 1686. Joseph Benjamin, of Barn-
stable, sold land in Camb., bounded on land of Abel Benjamin, my brother, which
was devised by Will of my honored father, Mr. John Benjamin, some time of Water-
town, deceased." William Clark, of Yarmouth, who d. Dec. 7, 1668, by his nuncu-
pative Will, proved Feb. 28, 1668-9, gave his property (£8 3s.) to Joseph Benjamin.
[Gen. Reg. vii. p. 178.] There was a Joseph Benjamin and wife Hannah, of Hamp-
ton, Conn., as early as 1748, whose lineage has not been ascertained. They had at
least 5 chil. [Hinman, p. 197.]
JOHN BENJAMIN arrived in the ship Lion, Sept. 16, 1632 ; was adm. freeman Nov.
6, 1632; was a proprietor of Camb., and perhaps he first settled there. If so, it was
only for a short time, as his house, with goods to the amount of £100, was burnt in
Wat. Ap.7, 1636. [Winthrop. I. 185.] Gov. Winthrop designates him as "Mr. Ben-
jamin," and in 1642 he had the largest homestall in Wat. He d. June 14, 1645, and
inventory (£297, 3, 2), was made by Simon Stone, John Eddie, and Thomas Mar-
ret. His will, dated June 12, 1645, two days before his death, mentions beloved
wife, not named, eldest son John, and 7 other chil. not named, some of whom
were ' : small." [See Gen. Reg., III. 176.] He appointed : 'my brother John
Eddie, of Wat.," and Thomas Marret, of Camb., executors. His wid., ABIGAIL,
went with her son-in-law, Joshua Stubbs, to Charlestown about 1654, where she d.
May 20, 1687, aged 87. Probably she did not live continuously in Charlestown.
Mar. 28, 1670, Abigail Benjamin, spinster of Wat., for £12, sold to John Welling-
ton, of Wat., three parcels of land in Camb. [As a Richard Benjamin came over
with John in 1632, and was proprietor of Wat. in 1642, he may have been a
brother, instead of a son, of John, Senr. His age at his embarkation is not given. J
2 | 1. Mary. She d. Ap. 10, 1646. Her will, proved June 4, 1646 [See Geneal. Reg.
-------------------- John and his brother, Richard, left Herefordshire for America and arrived on the ship "Lion" in 1632. John, a proprietor of Cambridge, was admitted freeman on November 6, 1632, and was constable May 20, 1633. Governor Winthrop wrote of his house in Cambridge, "Mr. Benjamin's mansion was unsurpassed for elegance and comfort by any in the vicinity. It was the mansion of intelligence, religion, and hospitality, visited by the clergy of all denominations, and by the literati at home and abroad. His library was said to be one of the finest in the country." It was probably destroyed in the fire in 1636 which burned his house. The next year, the Watertown records show grants of land to him. -------------------- Links

P&O Ferries have two routes from the UK mainland to Northern Ireland. There are ferries from Cairnryan and Troon on a daily basis with a duration of 2 hours.
There is a daily fast craft crossing from Troon that has a short sailing time of 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Due to the very short durations of routes to Larne thee are no accomodation option. All routes do boast a Club Lounge.
Both ferry routes to Larne, (normal and fast craft) offer a self service restaurant, coffe shop and bar.
Pets are permitted on both routes. Pets must remain in the owners vehicle.
Larne is both a seaside port and a market town with a heavy emphasis on industry on the coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It has been an important seaport for over ten centuries, and now serves as a major passenger and freight terminal. Larne has a population of around 32,000.
Although Larne is not dependent on tourism, there is still plenty to see and do. There are a number of sandy beaches and bays, including one at Magheramorne, which is five miles south of Larne and includes a film studio where some scenes for the incredibly popular HBO TV series Game of Thrones were filmed.
Larne is an area with a great deal of natural outstanding beauty that's really worth exploring. There are a number of parks to visit, including the Town Park which rises above the peaceful seafront area. Curran Park has an extensive children's play area plus camping facilities. If you are a golfer you will be pleased to know there are two 18-hole courses.
Also worth a visit are the ruins of Olderfleet Castle at Curran Point, which was originally built in the 1200s, plus the Larne Museum and Arts Centre, in the town centre.

President Obama focuses on the government's response to and planning for the H1N1 — or "swine" — flu virus in his weekly address.
"This is a new strain of the flu virus, and because we haven't developed an immunity to it, it has more potential to cause us harm," the president says. "Unlike the various strains of animal flu that have emerged in the past, it's a flu that is spreading from human to human. This creates the potential for a pandemic, which is why we are acting quickly and aggressively."
He explains the steps the government has taken so far — urging people with symptoms to stay home from work or school; distributing to states more than 12 million antiviral treatments from the Strategic National Stockpile; requesting $1.5 billion from Congress to invest in additional antivirals, emergency equipment and the development of a vaccine; and launching new social media — including Twitter — to update the public as quickly and effectively as possible.
"As our scientists and researchers learn more information about this virus every day, the guidance we offer will likely change. What will not change is the fact that we'll be making every recommendation based on the best science possible," the president says.

StemCells, Inc. Announces First Patient Cohort Completes Spinal Cord Injury Trial - Gains In Sensory Function Persist 12 Months After Stem Cell Transplant
Patients in the study's first cohort all suffered a complete injury to the thoracic (chest-level) spinal cord. In a complete injury, there is no neurological function below the level of injury, and sensory function of all three patients was stable before transplantation of the HuCNS-SC cells. All three patients were transplanted four to nine months after injury with a dose of 20 million cells at the site of injury. The surgery, immunosuppression and the cell transplants have been well tolerated by all the patients. There were no abnormal clinical, electrophysiological or radiological responses to the cells, and all the patients have remained neurologically stable through the first 12 months following transplantation. Positive changes in sensitivity to touch, heat and electrical stimuli were observed in well-defined and consistent thoracic regions in two of the patients, while no changes were observed in the third patient. Importantly, quantitative tests of specific sensory function, as well as electrophysiological measures of impulse transmission across the site of injury, show an association with the clinical examination, providing further objective confirmation of the sensory gains.
About the Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trial
The Phase I/II clinical trial of StemCells, Inc.'s HuCNS-SC® purified human adult neural stem cells is designed to assess both safety and preliminary efficacy. Twelve patients with thoracic (chest-level) neurological injuries at the T2-T11 level are planned for enrollment, and their injuries must have occurred within three to twelve months prior to transplantation of the cells. In addition to assessing safety, the trial will assess preliminary efficacy based on defined clinical endpoints, such as changes in sensation, motor function and bowel/bladder function. The Company has dosed the first three patients, all of whom have injuries classified as AIS A, in which there is no neurological function below the injury level. The injuries are classified according to the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS). The second and third cohorts will be patients classified as AIS B and AIS C, those with less severe injury, in which there is some preservation of sensory or motor function.
