text: 09 February 2014 archive Tweet See all show photos NOT that long ago, if someone had said that Victoria Beckham would soon be designing a collection that would land somewhere between Celine and The Row, no one would have believed it. But in recent seasons, Beckham has moved away from those signature dresses that she built her brand upon. The success of those "sucky-sucky" dresses - as she herself refers to them (given that they hold its wearer in like a support device) - have taken a backseat to a longer, more fluid line. A little bit masculine, a lot nonchalant and yes, it does riff on the likes of Philo. Her outing this morning continued along that path. She said that she was thinking about things in the round, as in 3D, and that idea came to light in her opening look, a beautifully-cut longline coat, which had chiffon box pleats at the back; pleats it also transpired, would be a recurring idea here. In particular, a pleated maxi skirt layered over narrow trousers felt new from Beckham. There were some attempts at adding elements of decoration to all this sophisticated simplicity; a chunky gold chain side fastening appeared again and again, popping up everywhere from said skirt, to coats, to backless halterneck tunics. Frothy ruffles gently skirted sheer tops and a curious abstract print popped up on a couple of occasions. There were a lot of perfectly lovely pieces here today - not least a slouchy roll neck top rendered in ivory silk that tapered in at the hip. No doubt many women will want that and more of this in their wardrobes come autumn. It just would have been nice to have seen a bit more of her in this collection.

Baking is my therapy when I need it. Love to try new and old recipes. Searching for a recipe for a Boston Cream Pie made in an old chinese restaurant from many years ago that was not made with vanilla pudding. But was made with something that looked like white or clear gelatin like filling. It actually looked like coconut milk and had a very light sweet taste.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bladedude Not impressed
Vertical hotel, with 8-9 rooms per floor with about 40 floors. Room smelled musty. I mentioned to reception and their solution was to put an ionizer in the room. I was moved, and that room was equally musty. I again provided feedback to reception and they did nothing. I found the concierge very nice and helpful: woman with black hair. I wouldn't stay at the Grand again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GC99 Not all that I expected
Great location, especially for Grey Cup. The bed was indeed heavenly and the seating was both generous and comfortable. Even allowing for sell out the elevators were extremely slow - waits of over 15 minutes. I had expected a somewhat larger, and empty, fridge based on website. I had asked for foam pillows and had to re-ask. Booked with some nights on points and some as cash and so ended up with four different reservation codes that were never cross-referenced. Cleaning staff kept thinking I was checking out when I wasn't.. So did front desk. Charges for dining and room were charged to my credit card without my ever seeing the bill. If you're paying extra for a balcony - it is very small. Staff were very helpful when a problem was pointed out. Not sure I really received the treatment I would have expected as a platinum member - certainly not to the same standard as I've received at other Westin and Sheraton properties.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Roybatty This is a great hotel
i stay at the Westin Grand Vancouver often for business. What i really like is the large room, comfy beds, great downtown location, close to rapid transit lines, fantastic pool, sauna, hot tub, gym.
the only downside is the wait for the elevators. If you can accept a delay in getting to your room or back down to the lobby then you will enjoy your stay here.

I love the spacious suites - the bedroom separated from the living area and the kitchen and its amenities, including a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, very nice dishes and coffee maker. This is a quality hotel that I stay at every time I'm in Vancouver, BC. Each suite is shaped differently. Try to get one on an upper floor for a view!

Stayed per and post cruise for a few days. Great property - one of the nicest staffs I've ever encountered in a hotel - everyone from Bell Services to Front Desk to the Housekeeping staff always had a smile and made sure we were happy.
Only complaint is the elevators are very slow. Had to wait literally 15 minutes on the 7th floor twice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ryukus My Favorite place in Vancouver - great food, location, quality
This is my fav place in Vancity.
1. Location - at the end of Robson St. Super!!
2. Quality - it's a Westin. Enough said. Also, it's an all-suite hotel.
3. Food - hmmm. The "hidden" restaurant is a must try. Breakfast is delicious.
4. Service - best staff. Always courteous and respectful.
100% recommended!

Very long time to get the elevators, a minimum of 10-12 minutes each time. Pool was closed for the Saturday the 4th of August without informing incoming guests by e-mail that they will not be able to utilize the pool. Our suite on the 27th floor; the airconditioner system in the room was not functioning.

The service express team at the Westin Grand was absolutely amazing and made me feel valued. Unfortunately if you're looking for an a la carte breakfast this is the wrong hotel for you. I was told that my only option was the buffet and runny eggs aren't my idea of a good time.

In the midst of downtown - easy to get to great restaurants, shops, and tour buses. Staff was very helpful in suggesting good restaurants. Exercise facility was being renovated, but basic equipment could be used. Room had nice layout and was comfortable. Nice, large bathroom.

Rated 5 out of 5 by madgame7 Amazing location with great Status Recognition
I stayed in this hotel for 9 nights over 3 weeks and loved it here. The location is second to none, the rooms are large and clean (with mini kitchen -type area) and chances are good to be upgraded (unless you check-in sunday/monday night). The gym is average, lobby area can be cramped, but can't beat walking out into the middle of downtown Vancouver!
Was upgraded to my first suite here, the week after I hit Platinum, so perhaps Im a little biased!
100% recommend!

Excellent hotel in great location.
Very much a boutique hotel, which is unusual for Westin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RobertG Great location and quiet area
I frequently travel for work and what is important for me is a nice quiet area.
Too often hotels are near emergency vehicle paths or noisy with vehicle traffic.
Not this hotel, as it is in great part of Vancouver with lots of local food stops in the area and walking to most building in the area.
The room that I had had a great view and quite up to date.
A small issue is that you enter on the main level of the hotel and you have to check-in on the 1st floor. Don't let this dismay you as the hotel is great in all other respects and that's a minor issue due to the sized of the lobby.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Kat1234 Elevator not working, other issues
I was looking for a place to stay in Vancouver for at least a couple of weeks, and checked out of here after three nights.
My issues with the place were:
1) One of the two elevators was only working, and I had to wait over five minutes almost every time I needed to use the elevator. This is unacceptable.
2) I sent an email on the first night to guest services voicing two concerns - that a) there was a lack of hangers in my room and b) that the complimentary bottle of water advertised on the website is no longer, and in the room it says that tap water should be drank instead. I did not bring a water bottle for the gym because I was under the impression there would be a complimentary one in the room. Instead, guests have the "option" of a mini bar water bottle for seven dollars. No thanks. This email was never addressed with a call or reply back, nor were any more hangers or a water bottle delivered to the room.
The gym is decent for a hotel gym, and my room was always cleaned very well by the maid.
However, despite the gym and maid service, I would not stay at this hotel again. There are hotels in a comparable price range that have much much better customer service, as well as functioning elevators.

Rated 5 out of 5 by turtle The Bride said it was "perfect".
I booked the hotel for friends as a gift on their wedding night.
They really appreciated and enjoyed it. The reception left from the Westin Bayshore but we found we got better room value at the Grande. I had checked in to put some stuff in the fridge in the afternoon and thought the room was very nice. ****I had arranged with the desk to put any incidentals including parking on my credit card. The shift that was on when the couple arrived didn't seem to be able to access that info. Anyway they gave them complimentary parking as a wedding gift. Which I thought was great (and appropriate). PS they didn't use any facilities (even breakfast) so can't comment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sljo888 Another splendid stay here
Back in YVR for the second time in a year, this time for the wedding of two friends. Hotel choice was a no-brainer. Location is so convenient and central for shopping and nightlife, but the area is not noisy.
Check-in staff continue to be the best, most smiling, happy, helpful, professional that we meet.
Rooms are comfortable, and contain ALL we need - especially the mini-kitchen, with a splendid view of downtown and the spaceship thingy that is probably a hockey stadium.
We had a small issue with a special laundry request (over and above anything usually offered), it went wrong, but was rectified within 2 hours with a smile the following morning and with minimal drama.
Food and drink at Hidden is OK, it's all the hotel needs given the wide choice outside the front door.
Our 1st choice hotel in YVR every time.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MAX1818 Westin on Robson
I'm very loyal to SPG and have stayed at this hotel 7 times or so in the past few years, however the hotel needs some work. Needs a good cleaning, I had a shower head fall on my head and saw little mice in the pool area. Location is good, staff is amazing! The rooms need to be touched up, new sheets and pillows. For the right rate this is a great hotel for a premium rate it's not.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim2926 Excellent property, but bring a power strip
Everything about this property is excellent. From the super-helpful staff, to the comfort of the facilities, views from the rooms, and design of the property. Unfortunately, though, there are no outlets at the in-room desk, making it challenging to work from a laptop while charging your devices. Yes, there are outlets in the kitchenette, on the wall in the middle of the room, and in the bathroom, but those are not the locations where they are needed. There was not even an outlet available bed-side, so my ability to charge my phone and iPad overnight while I slept, and keep it in close proximity to use as an alarm is just not doable. Bring a power strip if you stay at this property.

The Westin Grand is a very nice hotel in the heart of Vancouver. It is within easy walking to nightlife, shopping and the major attractions. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The kitchenette is a nice feature for warming meals when you don't feel like eating at a restaurant. The staff is cordial and efficient. I would recommend this hotel and plan on staying here again.

This is my preferred hotel for going to Vancouver.
It is close to shopping and many great restaurants. It is also walking distance to Roger's Arena and BC Place. The rooms are so comfortable and the added bonus is that they have a small fridge and microwave so if you want to avoid eating out you can do small meals in your room. There is an IGA very close by. The beds are some comfortable. The staff are super friendly and helpful, There is a great pool and hot tub - thought the pool is outside and may not be great to swim in in the winter as the outside air is cold. There are also great workout facilities When I travel to Vancouver on business or pleasure this is the place I always want to stay

My wife and I booked this hotel on starpoints (free night) as we wanted to spend the night downtown for our anniversary and go to the Whitecaps soccer game the next day. We were greeting by friendly staff and upgraded from our standard room to a queen suite room with a balcony. Concierge was great in getting us a cab. Room was large with a separate bedroom, living room, sofa, 2 Flatscreen TV's, microwave, dishwasher, massive bathroom with shower and soaker tub. Location was ideal. Right across from starbucks and other restaurant, pacific center mall and 4 blocks from BC Place Stadium.

There are four steps involved in calculating the qualified basis:
Step 1: Determining the Eligible Basis. The "eligible basis" is the amount of all depreciable development costs that may be included in the calculation of housing tax credits. Eligible depreciable costs include all "hard" costs, such as construction costs, and most depreciable "soft" costs, such as architectural and engineering costs, soil tests, and utility connection fees. Some examples (though not entirely inclusive) of what is EXCLUDED from the eligible basis are the following non-depreciable costs:
Step 2: Determining Applicable Fraction. The percentage of qualified low-income units is referred to as the "applicable fraction." If the owner fails to achieve the projected applicable fraction, the amount of credits is reduced.
Note that the "Applicable Fraction" is the lower of two percentages: the percentage of affordable units to total units, and the percentage of square feet in the affordable units to the total square feet in the project. The IRS monitors Applicable Fraction on a building by building basis. At the time each building is first occupied ("placed in service"), the developer and IRS establish a minimum Applicable Fraction for that building that the developer must maintain for the entire affordability period. Typically, developers prefer to structure their LIHTC projects so that each building has an Applicable Fraction of 100% or 0%, because this makes ongoing compliance much easier.
Step 3: Determining Qualified Basis. The "qualified basis" refers to the dollar amount that is eligible for housing tax credits.
Step 4: Adjustments to the Calculation. If the development is located in a HUD-designated high cost area (HCA), the state allocating agency may award up to 30% additional LIHTCs (LIHTC practitioners refer to this as a "basis boost"). These areas include both Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) and Difficult Development Areas (DDAs). To learn more about the methodology HUD uses to identify QCTs and DDAs, or to view a list of QCTs and DDAs, visit the HUD User web site. To identify what census tract you are located in, visit the Census Bureau's Census Tract Street Locator.

Voters deciding village's fate
Lyons, N.Y. - It's the second and final vote that will decide whether or not a village government that's been around since 1831 will survive.
"When I was elected I knew this could go either way," said Village of Lyons Mayor Terry VanStean (R), first elected in 2013. "This is going to determine the future of our village and community."
VanStean is talking about the ballot effort to dissolve the Village of Lyons, mainly fueled by a desire by some in the village to lower tax rates.
The village voted in favor of dissolving in 2012 by 34 votes, but New York State law requires a second vote if opposition to the initial vote remains.
Mayor VanStean said he falls into the opposition camp.
"I think it's going to be more of a problem than a positive thing," he said, referring to the issue of taxes. "What it amounts to is a tax shift."
According to a 2013 Village of Lyons report, taxes for those who live in the would-be former village would drop by about 38% if the village dissolves, but the report also indicates tax-rates would increase for those already living outside the village, in the town of Lyons.
Supporters of the dissolution vote look at things differently.
"Those living on the outside will still get the amenities the village is supporting," said Ronald DeCracker, referring to water and sewer services. "They should pay their fair share too."
Mayor VanStean said water and sewer services will continue if the village is dissolved, but added there's no guarantee services like police, fire and lighting will be provided.
"All of those things will be decided by a future vote," he said.
Many who support the dissolution push say they're confident a solution will be worked out for other services, and say dissolving the village is necessary to move forward.
"It's primarily about the money," said Henry Borys, returning to the issue of taxes. "I want to see an improvement."
Some, like Victor Harris, aren't quite sold on the issue of taxes, and aren't convinced dissolving the village will improve things.
"I've listened to some of the proponents [of dissolving the village]," he said. "They didn't have a convincing argument and I think the NOs are rallying."
If voters decide to dissolve the village, the actual changes won't take effect until January 2016, when the town of Lyons will begin to take over services.

I wish I had that problem! I'm not seeing any Monarchs at all, much less caterpillars! Now that the wild milkweed are more easily spotted (some are blooming), I checked some roadside milkweed plants today....nothing found at all. I even drove by the dam area where I was seeing Monarchs last fall and saw none. However, I did see a Queen in my yard the other day, first I've seen this year! |
I have what I call butterfly buddies who share stock with me and I share with them in Virginia Have you tried emailing any of the people that post sightings on Journey North for eggs and caterpillars. I usually follow the migration on their maps and sighting. The sightings website is a drop down list so you have to select the category. If you click on a sighting in the list, there is an email option. |

Why 2013 Was The Year Of The Quarterback
Black QB's
History was made when a record nine African Americans started week 1 of this NFL season. It may seem that in 2013, the race of any player wouldn't be an issue. In fact, when asked, most of said quarterbacks down played it. Perhaps they should have, acknowledging that it was skill that made team GM's draft them over anything else. But what can't be ignored is that they represent opportunity. The Nine—Cam Newton, Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay), Griffin (Washington), Colin Kaepernick (San Francisco), EJ Manuel (Buffalo), Terrelle Pryor (Oakland), Geno Smith (New York Jets), Vick (Philadelphia) and Wilson (Seattle)—lead the charge for change in the NFL, sports, and signify the ever evolving cultural dynamic of America.

Electronics has been my hobby and vocation over the years. I recently sold my business and now have more time for ham radio. I am presently running an Elecraft K3 with a beam for 6-20m. For 10-160m, a 126 foot long wire antenna is used. This antenna is suspended 40 feet above a 20 x 40 foot metal shed. The wire is fed about 26 feet from one end with an 1KW auto tuner that is mounted and grounded to the shed and tunes 160 through 6 meters. The metal shed makes a great ground, the only downside is that the shed is 300 feet from the shack, making for about 3dB of coax loss on 10 meters. 12/12. Removed the 146 foot Vbeam and hung a 3 element 17m home made Yagi from a line suspended between two trees about 37 feet high. It is steered by a anchor line running from one end of the beam to the ground. I love the front to back ratio of this antenna, but running outside to change the heading is getting old. Field strength measurements were made by parking a mobile receiver a mile away and recording the S meter while rotating the antenna. The receiver was then connected to a calibrated signal generator to determine the power required for a given S meter reading. The front to back ratio measured 21 dB, about 4 dBmore than the calculated 17 dB. Perhaps this is due to reading the signal at ground level rather than at the elevation angle of maximum gain. 11/13. Installed a 55 foot crank-up, tilt-over tower with a Steppir 3el mounted on a NN4ZZ tilt plate so all antenna work can be done at ground level. On the air testing showed that the Steppir has about a half S unit more gain than the hombrew 17m Yagi. The 17 meter 50 Ohm Yagi dimensions: Reflector334 inches Director300 inches Driven318 inches Reflector to driven spacing 84 inches Director to driven spacing 65.75 Swr < 1.2:1without matching network. Note that this Yagi was optimized for best SWR. No matching network is used. Measured from the center of the boom,the first 60 inches of each element is 0.875 dia., and the remaining lengths are 0.663 dia. 9/14 Experimental 40M loaded dipole with matching network. This antenna seems to work very well on local and transatlantic DX while only sitting 6 feet above the ground. The PVC is 1.5 inch, coils ( 16uHy) are 27 turns of #12 close wound. Tuning is done by sliding a shorted turn in the coils. A C-L-C PI network is used to match the 10 ohm feedpoint resistance of the antenna to the 50 ohm coax. Tx capacitance is 1880pF, L is 0.363 uHy, and antenna side capacitance is 3600 pF. The antenna elements are 102" CB whips. Bandwidth is around 30 KHz at the 1.5:1 SWR points and 1:1 at the center frequency. 1250110 Last modified: 2014-09-09 14:20:23, 2948 bytes You must be logged in to file a report on this page

FHS economics students continue success in Stock Market GameThursday, May 15th, 2014 Issue 20, Volume 18.
The students participated in the year-long Stock Market Game sponsored by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. Competing against 505 other high school teams in the San Diego region, FHS teams took second, third, fifth and ninth places. Performance is measured against the Standard and Poors 500 index from Sept. 9, 2013 through April 25, 2014. Finishing second were seniors Juan Basave, Kevin Gonzalez, Chance Kazen, Miranda Gravett, and AnnMarie Ferrer from economics teacher Dave Evans first period class. Finishing third were seniors Alex Magos and Azucena Razo from teacher Ken Krupas fourth period economics collab class. Finishing fifth were seniors Osvaldo Escobar, Reece Munsinger, and Andres Topete, from Krupas fifth period Economics collab class. Finishing ninth were seniors Dylan Crowell, Paul Herriman, Dylan James, and Kellen Stubbs, from Evans first period class. Evans and Krupa have been working together with collab students for five years. This is the first year Krupa fielded his own teams and did so with great success. The second and third place teams Advertisement Numbers for the fifth and ninth place teams were 19.4 percent/$33,486 and 10 percent/$124,147. Krupa and Evans finished as the number two and three advisors in the San Diego Region, which includes high schools from Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. The Stock Market Game gives students the opportunity to experience the stock market in real time. Each collaborative team is given $100,000 to invest. Initial investment decisions are made after the students research stocks and mutual funds and decide which ones to invest their capital in. All buy and sell transactions are made online at the Stock Market Game web site in real time. If the teams so choose, they can sell and reinvest capital at any time during the game, whether to stem losses or to capture profits. "It is a great credit to these students for giving forth the effort necessary to be successful investors, especially in a volatile market like this," said Evans. "We at Fallbrook High congratulate them and wish them well as they move on to investing in the real world!" 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

BIOS beep, PC posts, but red LED light on GPU and no monitor signal
A couple of weeks ago the fan on my graphics card stopped working, it was buzzing a lot and periodically slowing down. I bought a new heatsink for the card, an Arctic Cooling Accelero L2. I installed everything on the card correctly and carefully. Now when I put the graphics card back on the mobo, the red light (the one ON the actual card, not on the mobo) is lit up and my monitor stays black.
The GPU itself worked perfectly fine (even if the fan wasn't working) before I installed this new cooler. I wouldn't use it much while the fan was breaking down so that it wouldn't overheat. There IS a POST beep on power-up. Just a normal single beep. It recognizes there is a graphics card in my PCI-E slot but the card itself has a red light on it now. I tried swapping different SATA cables, even tried connecting the card to a molex instead. It just won't respond. The fan on the new heatsink spins fine, however I have the fan connected only to molex power (it comes with a molex cable for direct-to-PSU use in case the fan connector doesn't fit the header, which in this case, it definitely wouldn't). I don't know whether or not that's an issue. Now prior to all of this happening I had just contracted the Trojan virus Sirefef/ZeroAccess. I don't know if that would affect graphics card power settings. GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5770 PCI-E 2.1 |

Think you answered your own question,
The fan on the new heatsink spins fine, however I have the fan connected only to molex power (it comes with a molex cable for direct-to-PSU use in case the fan connector doesn't fit the header, which in this case, it definitely wouldn't). I don't know whether or not that's an issue.

28 Jul 2012 | #3 |
No, my damn card is only a 2-pin. Anything bigger won't fit. Now I hear that in some cases people broke the plastic around the header if it's a 2-pin, but I also heard other people say it could be connected to molex only as well. Perhaps I read/heard them incorrectly.
If I do need to connect the plug to the card itself, what would be recommended to break the plastic surrounding the header to fit it? |
My System Specs |
28 Jul 2012 | #4 |
Stormy is right, with the fan not connected to the GPU, it doesn't "know" there is a fan in use. I would try soldering the connector from the original cooler to the fan leads on the new one.
What is the model number of your GPU card? |
My System Specs |
29 Jul 2012 | #5 |
I don't know the first thing about soldering, nor do I own a soldering iron or know anyone that does. I can't afford a whole new card if I screw something up anyway. There has to be some other way to get the connecter onto the header.
It's a Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 GDDR5 PCI-E 2.1,1GB |

One of these?

Hey nice, clear pics! You may be able to use the tip of a sharp knife to slip the wires out of the connectors and swap them. Just be sure to get the wire colors in the same position..
Likely you only need the red and black to run the fan, yellow being the RPM sensor. EDIT: Here's a couple of pics to help. Those tangs are delicate but can be swapped around, I've done a few myself with fans and front panel connectors. |
My System Specs |
29 Jul 2012 | #10 |
Do you mean taking the two wires out of the three-pin plug and putting them into the two-pin plug from the old heatsink? Or just pulling the wires out and plugging them directly into the card's connector? What do I swap the wires with/what do I do with them when I pull the wires out? I've never had to do it before so I want to make sure I do everything right.

- Text: Majr. Rbt. Bell - Gen. Rutherford
- (From his son, Rev. Robt. Bell of Pontotoc (county) Mis.(Mississippi)
- Maj. Robt. Bell was born in Penn at 12 years of age his father moved to Amherst County, VA. subsequently to Caswell, & in '71 to Guilford County, N.C. When he, Maj. B., was about 34 years old. At the age of 28, he had married Miss Catherine Walker, by whom he had 3 sons & 3 daughters; married a second time in Guilford County in Dec. '74 to Miss Mary Boyd, by whom he had 10 sons & 3 daughters 19 children in all, of whom 11 were living in 1841. When the Revolution broke out, he commanded a company and served throughout the war went with his company on Gen. Rutherford's campaign in '76 against the Cherokees there was no fighting, for the S.C. troops had met & defeated the Indians previous to Rutherford's joining them however the North Carolina troops burnt some Indian towns, destroyed corn Maj. Bell fought at the battle of Eutaw Springs under Gen. Pickens at the close of which, he was placed in command of the guard that conveyed the prisoners 22 miles to a place of security. They had marched 6 miles before engaging making 28 miles march that day, beside the engagement. Gen. Greene in consideration of Bell's good services promoted him to a Majority in the regular service. Major Bell was in a private capacity at the siege of Ninety-Six; & was often out against the Tories. He was temporarily absent from the army after a supply of corn, or he would have taken part at Guilford battle.
- In 1785 Majr. Bell emigrated to Sumner county in the Cumberland Country since Tennessee. In the fall of '92 there were **rted at Maj. Bell's a dozen families, & when getting logs to stockade the place, 40 Indians were lurking about but did not attack the fort. Maj. Bell was much of a military man was a professor of religion from a young man. In '98 or '99 removed from Sumner County to Mill Creek in Davidson: He died of the cold plague in January, 1816, in his 80th year, while at John Edmondson's, in the neighborhood of the Hermitage: was born in Dec. 1736. His son Nathaniel sickened with the cold plague, a terrible malignant disease, while at Edmondson's, & Maj. Bell & one of his daughters went to minister to him he recovered , but the aged father & daughter were seized by the fearful malady & died Edmondson also died, & there were 4 corpses in the house at the same time.

- Sandi Gorin has graciously given permission for the following explanation of the Draper Manuscripts to be added to this site. Sandi concentrates on KY research, but these documents can be helpful in Tennessee also.
- THE DRAPER MANUSCRIPTS: What are they? Where are they? We've all heard about them; will they help us in our Kentucky research?
- The Draper Manuscripts (often referred to as the Draper Papers) were compiled by Lyman Copeland Draper. He had planned to do a book which he had named "Sketches of the Lives of the Pioneers". The book was never realized. But, his collection of interviews does exist. The collection is a series of interviews which he conducted (or acquired), many in person, some in letters, about the old pioneers. The time frame is expansive - from the 1740's through the War of 1812 time frame. The territory covered is just as impressive - 21 states east of the Mississippi River, Iowa, Missouri and parts of Canada!
- The papers also include documents, 575 early maps and manuscripts. His interviews ranged from the heroes of the time to the unknown little settler. And, bless his historical heart, he sensed that we in later years needed more than a list of their names. He included their names, parents and grandparents; sometimes more.
- When Draper died in 1891, he had been working on the manuscripts for over 50 years. Draper himself, a New York man, was so intent on his research that he caught the attention of his cousin's husband, Peter Remen. Having the finances to help, Remen was a strong supporter of Draper's quest.
- The original collection is housed at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, Madison, WI. You are allowed to see the originals there, but cannot photocopy them.

- In 1782 an invading British army was sweeping victoriously through South Carolina. At Eutaw Springs on September 8 an American force under General Nathanael Greene tried to halt the redcoats. With Greene was a company under the command of Captain Robert Bell. During the battle Bell was in effect commander of the regiment since the French regimental commander, unable to speak effective English, relied heavily on him. Following the engagement General Greene, in a letter to Governor Richard Caswell of North Carolina, made special mention of the meritorious service by Captain Bell. «b»«sup»1«/b»«/sup»
- «b»
- «/b» A native of Caswell County, North Carolina, Robert Bell had moved to Guilford County prior to the Revolution and settled "about nine miles" from Guilford Courthouse. He had married Catherine Walker, probably in the early 1760's, and had become the father of six children «b»«sup»2«/b»«/sup» before his wife died in the early 1770's. He later married Mary Boyd and sired thirteen more children. «b»«sup»3«/b» «/sup»Following the Revolution he and his brother Samuel joined the throng of emigrants who moved into central Tennessee. Robert's first home in Tennessee is said to have been north of the Cumberland River in Sumner County. «b»«sup»4 «/b»«/sup» Sometime during the 1790's he moved to Davidson County, settling on Mill Creek, a short distance southeast of Nashville, where he had previously located North Carolina grants for several hundred acres of land. «b»«sup»5«/b»«/sup»

- «b»«sup»
- «/b»«/sup»The land in the Mill Creek area was fertile and well adapted to cotton culture. A small acreage was already in cultivation. And John Hague, an enterprising Englishman, was attempting to utilize the community's new raw material by establishing a cotton factory at a point which he designated as Manchester. In an advertisement in the Knoxville «b»«i»Gazette«/b»«/i» on November 4, 1791, Hague stated that machinery had already been installed and weavers were urgently needed. «b»«sup»6«/b»«/sup» This experiment in frontier manufacturing failed, and the town of Manchester never materialized. «b»«sup»7«/b»«/sup» One cause for this failure was the Indian menace which kept settlers in constant fear. During 1792-1793, Cherokee, Creeks, and Shawnee, hundreds strong, struck the central Tennessee settlements. The principal stations on Mill Creek were able to withstand the attack but the loss of life and property was considerable. The general plight of the settlers was such that Andrew Jackson, who had recently arrived in the Cumberland section, reported that the "Country is Declining fast." Unless Congress furnished better protection "this Country will have at length to break or seek a protection from some other Source than the present." «b»«sup»8«/b»«/sup» No substantial relief came until a band of enraged settlers destroyed the lower Cherokee towns of Nickojack and Running Water in September 1794. «b»«sup»9«/b»«/sup» It is not known whether Robert Bell had moved to the Mill Creek community prior to these Indian attacks. But, regardless of his place of residence. his family was apparently spared: the murder of ancestors by Indians is not a part of the Bell family stories.
- «b»[«/b»But, see «b»«i»Rev. Robert Bell interviewed by Lyman C. Draper«/b»«/i» for an account of Robert Bell's role in these events.«b»]«/b»
- In 1792 a Captain Robert Bell located in the Big Harpeth River west of southwest of Nashville a North Carolina military grant for 2,560 acres of land. Whether this was the Robert Bell who had acquired land on Mill Creek has not been established. It seems unlikely that two Revolutionary captains by the same name would locate land in the same general area. Yet there is an incongruity in the dates which makes this appear probable. The owner of the Harpeth tract sold one half of it to Garret Goodlow in 1796, and the deed stated that Robert Bell was a resident of Franklin County, North Carolina. According to the family story Robert Bell of Mill Creek had migrated to Tennessee at least a decade prior to 1796. The reliability of this account is further strengthened by the fact that three of his children -- Samuel, Catherine, an Robert Jr. -- married in Tennessee Country in the early 1790's The presence of older children in this area suggests, but does not prove, that the father had also arrived. «b»«sup»10«/b»«/sup»
- «b»[«/b»I don't know what to make of this. There is reference to "a land grant for2,568 acres" in G. G. Bell, «b»«i»The Bells and Allied Families«/b»«/i».... I don't know where she gets this; perhaps from G. E. Bell. Maybe she just read Parks inaccurately. It is also possible that the recorder of deeds confused Franklin County NC with Franklin County TN.«b»]«/b»
- Of one thing, however, there can be no doubt -- the progeny of Robert Bell of Mill Creek was soon scattered over a wide portion of Tennessee and neighboring states. «b»«sup»11«/b»«/sup» He lived to the ripe old age of eighty-five, dying at his home "near Flat Rock on the Nolensville Road" in 1816. «b»«sup»12«/b»«/sup»

- «/sup»[«/b»See «b»«i»Rev. Robert Bell interviewed by Lyman C. Draper«/b»«/i» for an account of Robert Bell's death with a different location.«b»]«/b»
- «b»
- «/b»Samuel, the eldest son of Robert Bell and the father of "John Bell of Tennessee" was born in Caswell County North Carolina, on February 11, 1766. He probably accompanied the family to Tennessee. On June 16 1791, he married Margaret Edmiston, a daughter of John Edmiston. «b»«sup»13«/b»«/sup» Edmiston had the distinction of probably being the only man in the American Revolution to be shot with a ramrod. At kings Mountain a nervous British soldier , hard pressed for time, failed to remove the ramrod from his muzzle loader before firing into the ranks of Shelby's men. Edmiston received the missile and lived to relate the experience. Two of the other three Edmiston brothers were less fortunate. One was killed and the other seriously wounded. «b»«sup»14«/b»«/sup» During the next few years following his marriage, Samuel Bell became the owner of several tracts of land on Mill Creek and probably on Stone's River. «b»«sup»15«/b»«/sup» He spent the rest of his life as a "humble mechanic and farmer" in the Mill Creek community. In addition to regular farming, he operated a blacksmith shop. In 1824, conscious of his advanced years, he entered into a contract with his son Thomas whereby the latter was made manager of his father's farm and was to receive on third of the net income from its operation. «b»«sup»16«/b»«/sup»
- «b»«sup»
- «/b»«/sup»Samuel Bell died intestate in 1836. Seven of his nine children survived him. The five daughters married into prominent local families. Martha became the wife of James Crockett of Williamson County. Catherine married Andrew Crockett, a nephew of James. Eliza Ann married Clymer MeEwen. Mary married Littelton J. Dooley, and at the time of her father's death resided in Mississippi. Sarah, who had married William W. Gaines, died prior to 1836. «b»«sup»17«/b»«/sup»
- «b»«sup»
- «/b»«/sup»As above noted, Thomas had been in charge of his father's farm since 1824. In the devision of the estate, he received two hundred acres of land and two slaves, and apparently considered himself as a farmer. «b»«sup»18«/b»«/sup» He never married. James married Mary Dickinson, a daughter of the affluent David Dickinson of Rutherford County. He established a mercantile business in Nashville, and when it failed in 1834, moved to Carroll County, Mississippi. In 1841, while traveling on the «b»«i»New Orleans«/b»«/i», he fell overboard and was drowned in the Mississippi River. «b»«sup»19«/b»«/sup» Robert, Samuel Bell's eldest son, born April 11, 1794, died in childhood. «b»«sup»20«/b»«/sup»
- «b»«sup»
- «/b»«/sup»John was born on Mill Creek on February 18, 1796. «b»«sup»21«/b»«/sup» Nothing is known of his early life that distinguished him from other youths of his day. He worked on the farm and operated the bellows in his father's blacksmith shop. According to a family story, one day while young John was pumping the bellows his father suddenly asked him if he would like to go to college. John answered yes; and at the age of fourteen he entered Cumberland College, a struggling Nashville institution, the administration of which had recently passed int the capable hands of Dr. James Priestly, late of the Salem Academy of Bardstown, Kentucky. This frontier college, with its limited faculty and equipment, had little to offer, but Bell's contemporaries attested to the fact that he took his scholastic work seriously and made the most of his opportunities. «b»«sup»22«/b»«/sup» Graduation from Cumberland in 1814 concluded his formal training. Neither at college nor later in life was he distinguished for his brilliance of knowledge. A slow reasoner but diligent searcher after needed information, he was more of a plodder than a scholar. Time, plenty of it, was required in reaching conclusions. Frequently, when his more brilliant associates had already taken their stand on an issue, Bell was still considering. Throughout his public career, he showed ability as a formal speaker, a talent no doubt developed during his college days, but he always suffered when debate reached the point where quick decisions and immediate replies were necessary. Lacing in mental agility, he often became confused and then angry; at times he was not adverse to using his fists when adequate words were not forthcoming.
- No contemporary left an adequate description of Bell's physical appearance. This fact itself indicates that there was nothing about him that attracted special attention. Late in his life he was inclined to obesity, and one gets the impression from his portraits that he was also large of frame. His hair was probably dark, for in 1854 an observer in the Senate gallery remarked that Bell was getting gray. Even as a young man his stiffness of bearing and his seriousness of demeanor gave him the appearance of a man of more advanced years. Usually solemn, often glum, he could smile but he had no hearty laugh. To him life, public and private, was a serious business.
- The year following his graduation from Cumberland, Bell acquired 120 acres of his father's land on Mill Creek. «b»«sup»23«/b»«/sup» There is no evidence, however, that he intended returning to the life of a farmer, for he had already begun to read law in preparation for admission to the bar. In July, 1816, Ephraim H. Foster, a neighbor, assured the Davidson County that Bell was a man of good moral character, and in October, he began the practice of law in Williamson County. «b»«sup»24«/b»«/sup» He immediately formed a partnership with J. J. White in the town of Franklin, where he already had numerous family connections. A portion of the equipment of his office consisted of a desk, a chair, and a few books, including a dictionary, which he had recently acquired at the sale of his grandfather's personal property. «b»«sup»25«/b»«/sup»
- «b»«sup»
- «/sup»[«/b»Thus, we may infer that Robert Bell owned a dictionary and was (perhaps) able to use it for it's intended purpose.«b»]«/b»

Chazy Commemorating the tenth year since the World Trade Center towers were destroyed in an attack, town hall has a new flagpole to fly their colors.
The pole was donated to the town by the Woodmen of the World. Woodmen lodge 402 Secretary Tim Gonyo said the date of the commemoration and the opportunity to add to town hall.
It's important to remember the victims in the towers that day, said Gonyo, and first responders should be honored always.
"They all deserve our thanks and admiration," he said. "There's no better way to honor them than to see the flag flying proudly."
Gonyo also presented a flag of honor to the town that carries the names of those who died in the attacks.
Town Supervisor Staub Spiegel said the new flagpole is a bit taller and its construction more robust than the old one. The new pole was set in place about a month ago.
"It's a real nice addition," said Spiegel. "We've had a lot of compliments so far."
Kris Sample, a first sergeant with the Vermont National Guard, returned from Iraq less than a week before the ceremony, and was asked to say a few words by his Woodmen sister, Amy House.
The Woodmen frequently donate flags to local governments.
"I appreciate you spreading the colors of our great country," said Sample.
Sample said that one only has to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan for a very short time to understand what freedom means, and how important it is to fight for and protect freedom.
"It's an honor and privilege to be here," said Sample.
Missions abroad are important, Sample said, because aiding and assisting other countries to stabilize their territory makes the U.S. safer.

Most of the local music buzz over the weekend wasn't over a new band, but a new venue. The two-story, warehouse-spacious supper club Icehouse opened its doors last week on the southern end of Eat Street, at 2540 Nicollet Av., adding to the area's great array of dining and watering holes but pretty much instigating a live music scene from scratch in that corner of south Minneapolis.
Icehouse's chef and co-owner Matthew Bickford previously made a name for himself at the Be'Wiched Deli in downtown Minneapolis. Former Turf Club manager Dave Wiegardt is also part of the Icehouse staff. They're now open for lunch and serving regular dinner service, and then they're hosting a wide array of late-night music events.
Adam Levy pulled double-duty Thursday night, the official opening day, when he played a laid-back dinnertime set with his electro-improv jazz-rock band Liminal Phase before putting the sound system and dancefloor to the full test with Hookers & Blow. By all accounts, it passed the test. The funk-blasting horns and singer Katie Gearty's roof-raising vocals boomed warmly through the venue without bouncing around the old brick walls and soft, dark wood floors. A half-wall nicely separated the bar area from the dance floor, with booths and tables making cozy little viewing areas around the perimiter. Watching from the balcony, I thought the best way of describing the Icehouse is as a grungier, hipper version of the Dakota, but the old warehouse space – it really was used to store ice in the pre-GE days – definitely has a character all its own. The bar's quirky menu of cocktails was also interesting enough to keep me away from the nice tap-beer selection.
The music offerings hit high gear this week: The Dave King Trucking Company will perform two sets tonight (9:30 and 11:30 p.m., $5), part of a Monday jazz series that J.T. Bates is booking modeled after his and Weigardt's old Clown Lounge days with Fat Kid Wednesdays. Tuesdays will feature the Lady Heat Hot Soul Party, with Pink Mink's Christy Hunt DJ-ing alongside her buds Danielle Morris and Sara Jean Hanson (10:30 p.m., $2). Click here for the rest of the month's music lineup. Look for a bigger profile of Icehouse by Tom Horgen in Friday's Variety section or in Vita.mn, but in the meantime: Welcome to the scene, Icehouse.

Season Outlook
With the return of its entire pitching staff and the vast majority of its lineup from a national championship ballclub, expectations are predictably high for the Linfield Wildcats, picked as Northwest Conference favorites and also as the preseason No. 1 team in NCAA Division III.
But although familiarity and personnel can be important indicators of future success, the Wildcats know it takes more than talent to advance in the postseason. And to this point, seventh-year head coach Scott Brosius has been impressed with the hard work, leadership and focus demonstrated from his senior-laden ballclub.
"I don't think anybody on this team assumes that last year's success is just going to carry over," Brosius said. "We have the advantage of being a team that's been there and done it, so we understand and have confidence that we can do it. But we also have to understand that there's a target on our back now and we have to embrace that."
Linfield's title defense begins on the mound, where the Wildcats return all three starters, including National Pitcher of the Year Chris Haddeland, All-West Region performer Aaron Thomassen and three-year starter Zach Brandon. The talented trio combined for 35 of Linfield's 42 victories and a 2.11 ERA in 2013, helping the 'Cats win every weekend in Northwest Conference action and 10 of 12 playoff games en route to the national title.
Justin Huckins (seven saves, 2.11 ERA) is the team's top returning closer, but needs to battle through some early-season injury issues. Until he returns, and even after he does, relief responsibilities are to be shared by a deep and seasoned bullpen. Fifth-year senior Zach Manley is healthy and ahead of schedule after undergoing elbow surgery, senior Garett Speyer has plethora of big, late-inning game experience and junior Joseph Stevick should play a bigger role on staff after making some key playoff contributions.
Other key pitchers include Cody Walker and Garrett Miller, with Joe Perryman and converted outfielders Justin Davis and Kyle Billeci also posing big threats from the mound in relief roles.
"If we stay healthy, this year's staff has the potential to be every bit as good if not better than last year's staff," Brosius said.
Comprising the other half of the battery are catchers Jake Wylie and Chance Laboda. Wylie is expected to take the majority of the starts, but can translate his defensive skills to the outfield, leaving home plate defensive responsibilities to Laboda, fully recovered from arm surgery that cost him the second half of his sophomore season.
Linfield brings back exactly half of its infield starters – Clayton Truex at first base and Corey VanDomelen at shortstop – and replaces the other two holes with versatile defensive standouts Eric Lawson and Kenny Johnson. While Lawson transitions from a utility role to third base, former shortstop Johnson slides over to second, giving Linfield two dynamic defenders to secure the middle of the infield.
Second-year player Kekoa Kaulukukui can back up any of the infield positions.
Linfield's outfield is on lockdown with the return of Nate McClellan, Kramer Lindell, and Nick Fisher. Including Wylie, the Wildcats therefore boast three first team all-conference outfielders. Jackson Ruckert (junior) and Finn McMichael (sophomore) can run and defend extremely well in reserve roles.
"We're pretty spoiled," Brosius said of his outfield contingent. "We feel really good about the depth."
Offensively, the Wildcat lineup features four players who hit .300 or better in 2013 (Wylie, Lindell, Fisher and Truex) but Linfield must replace catalyst Tim Wilson, a career .421 hitter.
"That's going to be the biggest role for us to fill in the top of the order," Brosius said. To do that, the 'Cats turn to VanDomelen, who registered a .408 on-base percentage and stole 12 bags last season in the two hole. "He does a real good job of getting on base, and plays with the same type of energy (as Wilson)."
Linfield's outfield supplied much of the offense last season, and should continue to set the tone for the rest of the Wildcats, slots one through nine.
"With a lot of returners from the lineup last year, we feel offensively we should be pretty strong, and have that same balance of some power in the lineup as well as some speed to be able to scratch and claw for runs."
Linfield hosts the regional tournament whether or not it claims a second consecutive league title, and the Wildcats certainly prefer playing to watching in late May. To earn that coveted playoff bid, however, is as daunting a task as ever in the increasingly competitive Northwest Conference and West Region.
"When you're in the West you understand what it is: it's a difficult climb to get through," Brosius said. "The real key is the teams that are able to play consistent baseball week in and week out."
The Wildcats' greatest asset in its quest for consistency stems from its experienced roster, which counts co-captains Wylie and Fisher among its 10 seniors.
"We certainly don't take anything for granted, but I like that we have that kind of experience returning," Brosius said. "I like guys that have already tasted what winning is and what success is, and know what it takes."
