BenQ's QisDesign Premium LED Lighting Fixtures Set to Shine in North America
Premium Lamps Blend Sophisticated Design and Innovative Technology to Provide Sensory-Rich Experiences
LAS VEGAS — 2013 International CES — Jan. 7, 2013 — BenQ America Corp., an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations, announced today that its QisDesign brand of premium LED lighting fixtures will soon be making its North American debut. Inspired by the world around them, the award-winning LED lamps offer contemporary designs, sensory-rich lighting experiences, and interactive features designed to brighten any home environment.
"BenQ's new QisDesign premium light fixtures will bring a new level of sophistication to the home LED marketplace," said Lars Yoder, President of BenQ America Corp. "Winners of more than 100 international design awards, the LED lamps blend form and function by combining innovative LED technology with inspired designs. They are made to complement any setting, stimulate the imagination, and provide significant energy savings to users."
The QisDesign collection offers table, floor, wall, and suspension lamps that mimic the real-life wonder of soaring birds, flamenco dancing, or calm ocean corals. The premium product line includes:
- Aurelia Light: Inspired by the mesmerizing moon jellyfish, the Aurelia Light combines beauty with interactive operation. Featuring a three-way "touch ring" dimmer, the suspension also has a two-way light switch for easy luminosity adjustment.
- Flamenca Light: The Flamenca LED table lamp is an ambient light that captures the playfulness of a flamenco dancer's twirling skirt. By gently pressing on the metallic-like plate, users can easily switch to a "dancing mode" to create a soft, flowing lighting effect.
- BE Light: With its clever hinge design, the BE Light can be extended or folded to make efficient use of desk or floor space. The LED lamp's refined metallic finish further gives the light a stylish and sophisticated look.
- Coral Reef Light: Inspired by the calm of coral reefs, the Coral Reef Light is shaped like a petal of organic light. The floor lamp features three overlapping layers that can be activated independently by being swiveled, while the table lamp's single adjustable layer is initiated by a touch dimmer on the stand.
- Coral Light: To mimic how corals reflect light rays through the sea, the Coral Light creates mesmerizing visual effects on tables, floors, walls, or ceilings. Thanks to a special diffusion technique, the light emitted by LED bulbs is evenly distributed from the edge of each diffuser.
- Seagull Light: The Seagull Light features two knobs on the main body — one on the front for adjusting brightness and one on the back for adjusting lighting angles. The lamp's "wings" change positions in accordance with the light adjustment to imitate a seagull soaring through the sky.
- Piano Light: The Piano Light allows users to create light as if playing the keys of a piano. This sleek feel coupled with a playable interface brings consumers a unique lighting experience.
- Crystal Light: Designed to amaze with color-changing features, the Crystal Light is composed of various shimmering "crystals" that consumers can assemble into any form they like. A remote control allows for the creation of different lighting effects to fit any mood or setting.
BenQ's QisDesign LED lighting fixtures are available now at select retailers nationwide. Information on the full line of QisDesign LED Lighting fixtures is available at www.qisdesign.com.

Yeah Dave, Jay Cutler, NFL Quarterback, is spending his free time making T-Shirts in his kitchen. Pffft. Bro, I made that shirt, and I know its fucking awesome, because I designed it too.
Do people see what I'm doing here? I'm trying to stay one step ahead of the curve. Any junkyard wannabe Barstool Site can make a T-Shirt, none of them can make a T-Shirt and then get it into the hands of an NFL Quarterback who then wears it as his press conference. Its called hustling. I'm trying to put Chicago Barstool on the map over here. Spreading the gospel of The Stool all over the Country with Blogging, Stalking, and T-Shirts, one day at a time.
We're working on getting these shirts made as soon as possible. Will let everyone now when they're ready for sale.
Not sure we can get Pres on KFC Radio but if he wants to watch tonight I'll be wearing the same shirt that Jay Cutler wore in his press conference today. NBD, but KBD.

For Anyone outside of Chicago asking, its the Chi flag with sools instead of stars. Doesnt mean the whole country can't wear it though. Just tell everyone you bought it because you visited Chicago and realized its the best city in the world. No one will argue.

By the time Hewan Belete started as a medical student at the University of Minnesota, she had already earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Mayo Clinic.
Though she came to the University with some experience as a researcher, she was unsure at first how to integrate that work with clinical medicine.
One opportunity that opened her eyes to clinical research was the American Society of Hematology's Minority Medical Student Award Program (MMSAP). Belete participated in this program last year as a second-year student, and is participating again as a second-experience participant during her third year of medical school.

Here's what I looked like about three months ago. After less than eight weeks of triple-dose propylthiouracil (PTL), I'm doing lots better, thanks. Some small evidence:
Now let's get back to the blogging already.
PS The cocktail I'm holding is, I think, my own invention. Make a standard vodka martini using Grey Goose and a hint of dry vermouth. Then add one small cornichon, patted dry. I call it a French Inhale.
Also, thanks everybody for all the warm greetings.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A try is a way of scoring points in rugby union and rugby league football. A try is scored by grounding the ball in the opposition's in-goal area (on or behind the goal line). Rugby union and league differ slightly in defining 'grounding the ball' and the 'in-goal' area.
The term try comes from try at goal, signifying that originally, grounding the ball only gave the opportunity to try to score with a kick at goal.[1]
A try is analogous to a touchdown in American and Canadian football, with the major difference being that a try requires the ball be simultaneously touching the ground in the in-goal area and an attacking player who is in the field of play or in-goal (the official name of the extra point in American football according to NFL rules is the try). In the laws of both codes of rugby, the term touch down formally refers only to grounding the ball by the defensive team in their in-goal. Although occasionally people refer to a try as a 'touchdown', the correct usage for the action is 'grounding the ball'.
There are differences in the fine detail of the laws and their interpretation between the two rugby codes. These are the common aspects, while the differences are treated below.
In rugby union, a try is worth five points; this point value having varied over time. Although a try is worth less in rugby league, it is more often the main method of scoring due to the much smaller value of a goal kick. In rugby union, however, there is heavier reliance placed on goals to accumulate points at elite levels due to the significant value of goals and the defending team's skills.
In rugby league, a try is worth four points, increased in 1983 from three points.
In both rugby league and in rugby union, if the referee believes that a try has been prevented by the defending team's misconduct, he may award the attacking team a penalty try. Penalty tries are always awarded under the posts regardless of where the offence took place. In rugby union, the standard applied by the referee is that a try "probably" would have been scored. The referee does not have to be certain a try would have been scored. In rugby league, the referee "may award a penalty try if, in his opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team."[2]
In rugby league, an 8-point try is awarded if the defending team commits an act of foul play as the ball is being grounded. The try is awarded, and is followed by a conversion attempt, in-line from where the try was scored, and then a penalty kick from in front of the posts. In rugby union, foul play after a try being scored results in a penalty being awarded on the half way mark, in lieu of a kick off.
In both codes when a try is scored, the scoring team gets to attempt a conversion, which is a kick at goal to convert the try from one set of points into another larger set of points. The kick is taken at any point on the field of play in line with the point that the ball was grounded for the try, and parallel to the touch-lines. If successful, additional points are scored. For the conversion to be successful the ball must pass over the crossbar and between the uprights. In both codes, the conversion may be attempted as either a place kick (from the ground) or a drop kick. Most players will nevertheless opt for a place kick, this being generally regarded as the easier skill. Note, however, that in both rugby sevens (usually, but not always, played under union rules) and rugby league nines, conversions may only take place as drop kicks. In rugby league, the game clock continues during preparation and execution of a conversion, hence a team may decline a conversion attempt if recommencing play as quickly as possible is advantageous to them.
To make the conversion easier, attacking players will try to ground the ball as close to the centre of the in goal area as possible. The attacking player will however ground the ball when confronted by a defender rather than risk losing the ball by being tackled or passing it to a team mate.
In both rugby union and rugby league a conversion is worth two points; a successful kick at goal thus converts a five-point try to seven for rugby union, and a four-point try to six for rugby league.
In early forms of rugby football the point of the game was to score goals. A try [at goal] was awarded for a grounding the ball in the opponents in-goal area. The try had zero value itself, but allowed the attacking team to try a kick at goal without interference from the other team. This kick, if successful, converts a try into a goal.
Modern rugby and all derived forms now favour the try over a goal and thus the try has a definite value, that has increased over time and has for many years surpassed the number of points awarded for a goal. In rugby league and rugby union, a conversion attempt is still given, but is simply seen as adding extra 'bonus' points. These points however can mean the difference between winning or losing a match, so thought is given to fielding players with good goal-kicking skill.

A Once Eminent Firm Meets a Bitter End
The legacy firm of famed midcentury Modernist Minoru Yamasaki has closed its doors amid a sea of recriminations and debts.
Yamasaki Associates, based in Troy, Michigan, eight miles north of Detroit, was shuttered on December 31. It laid off its remaining full and part-time staff—about 10 employees—and left behind a welter of lawsuits and unpaid claims. The owner, businessman Ted Ayoub, a non-architect who had bought the firm in 2007, is reportedly traveling in the Middle East and has not been available for comment.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Among the companies suing the firm is Syska Hennessy Group Inc. of New York, which filed suit in March 2008 seeking $1.9 million for subcontracted work ordered by Yamasaki for the Landmark Convention Center in Doha, Qatar. Yamasaki was disputing the claim at the time it shut down.
Additionally, the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency filed suit last fall against the Yamasaki firm for not paying unemployment insurance taxes.
Michael Vaters, who headed the firm's mechanical and electrical engineering department from early 2008 until April 2009, said he came to Yamasaki out of respect for the firm's legacy. "I was working in Florida and I got the chance to work at Yamasaki and I jumped at it," he said. But the company's financial problems made the job a nightmare. "The whole time I was at Yamasaki, people were calling me all the time for payment. It was just a disaster," he said.
Since leaving the firm last year, Vaters is one of dozen or so employees who have filed complaints with the Michigan Wage & Hour Division. The complaints allege that they have not been paid salary and expenses due to them.
It remained unclear whether Ayoub would try to re-establish the firm in another location, perhaps in the Middle East.
Born in Seattle, the late Minoru Yamasaki founded his firm in Detroit in the 1950s, and he soon became one of the world's most sought-after designers. He designed the World Trade Center towers in New York, which welcomed its first tenants in 1970, as well as many prominent buildings in the Middle East, including the Dhahran International Airport, completed in 1961 in Saudi Arabia. His output covered a vast range of building types, from a temple in Japan to an office skyscraper in Detroit. Yamasaki died in 1986, and for almost a quarter-century, his former partners carried on.
"It's sad that the Yama name ends up like this," said Anthony Gholz Jr., vice president of DiClemente Siegel Design in Southfield, which was owed money by Yamasakifor subcontracted worked."It's just not the way a firm should end."

If you live in the southeast, centipedegrass is a good candidate for your lawn. It's a low-maintenance grass that's tolerant of sandy soils, and thrives in the shifting shade you find under pine trees. Also, it requires less mowing and feeding than other grasses. If you have a centipedegrass lawn, here are a few tips to help you keep it looking great.
Centipedegrass should be mowed to about 1 � to 2 inches. Any higher and you start to see thatch develop. Also, make sure your mower blade is nice and sharp.
Centipedgrass lawns are not as tough as other kinds of lawns. They can't handle foot traffic and recover slowly when they're damaged.
Centipedegrass has shallow roots. It tends to turn brown sooner than other types of grass during drought and heat. Water this grass only when you see wilting, rolling leaves or when the grass turns grayish. Then apply about an inch of water, or enough to wet the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches.
Centipedegrass lawns require very little feeding. Give yours a mid-spring and mid-summer feeding with Scotts� TurfBuilder�, which releases nitrogen slowly.
In early spring (February - March), apply a pre-emergent to control crabgrass. For
dandelions and other broadleaf weeds, you can apply a broadleaf weed control product to control

Ryan Tannehill to Start for Dolphins Tonight
The rookie has been practicing with the first-team all week, sparking debate from fans and media about whether the Fins would throw their young franchise player to the wolves so early. It appears so. Cue shots of Lauren Tannehill cheering him on throughout the game on Hard Knocks.
Tannehill was impressive in his pro debut last week in the Fins' 20-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He went 14-for-21 for 167 yards, led the team to its only touchdown of the night, and led to more people debating whether his wife is hot or not.
Of course, most of that came against Tampa's second- and third-stringers. Tonight, Tannehill will be facing Carolina's first-team defense.
If Tannehill comes through with a solid performance, the Dolphins will be under pressure to name him the week-one starter. That would be bananas, given the QB situation when Miami first started camp. Garrard and Moore were supposed to compete for the starter's job while Tannehill sat and learned and got them coffee.
Either way, let's hope his offensive line doesn't let him get murdered tonight.
Look for our Dolphins-Panthers preview later today.

Out in the East Everglades along the Tamiami Trail, on the thin strip of asphalt that runs between Miccosukee Resort & Gaming and Naples, plenty of dangers await the unsuspecting visitor. Alligators, pythons, cottonmouth snakes, and snapping turtles lurk in the marshes, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
But to Gary Matthews, nothing is more treacherous than airboat captains — those wizened, weathered men who pilot tons of metal backed by a ten-foot propeller over a few feet of water and miles of sawgrass. Threats, intimidation, theft, and underhanded tactics are as abundant in the Everglades as lilies and gators, he says.
"It's very cutthroat. It's a bloodbath," says the 61-year-old Matthews, who is tall and bald, with a face tanned from decades under the sun in the swamp. He runs private tours in Everglades National Park for Airboat USA, a company he purchased about a decade ago. Since then, he says, the other companies along the Tamiami Trail — namely Coopertown Airboats and Everglades Safari Park — have made his life a living hell.
"All we've tried to do is run a successful business," Matthews says. "They've tried about seven times to get me put out of business."
It's a soap opera set in a sleepy part of the swamp that includes profanity, cops, and tens of thousands of dollars in profit. Matthews lobs accusations at his competitors; they deny them. According to Jesse Kennon, owner of Coopertown Airboats, Matthews has become persona non grata among airboaters. "The only one stirring up trouble here is Gary Matthews," he says. "Everybody's tried to help him, but he wants to come in and take over. Not many people here like him."
The South Florida airboat industry dates to the years immediately following World War II. Coopertown, the oldest concern in the East Everglades, opened for business in 1945; Safari Park started up in 1968. Since 1989, the National Park Service (NPS) has allowed only four companies — Coopertown, Safari Park, Gator Park, and Airboat USA — to operate in Everglades National Park. Those four hold a virtual monopoly on roughly 100,000 acres of land, ten times the size of Manhattan.
Though airboat companies exist as far north as Orlando, the most popular operators are along the Trail. Coopertown entertains about 90,000 visitors per year — 75 percent of them from outside the country. Overall, Kennon estimates, about a half-million people a year ride the airboats in South Florida. At $20 a head, those numbers have added up to big money.
But the airboating territory might shrink. Since the addition of the East Everglades to Everglades National Park in 1989, the NPS has considered limiting access to parts of the fragile ecosystem. Acting public information officer Mary Plumb says the NPS is evaluating "how many, if any, of the four operations are necessary and appropriate for visitors."
And competition is growing in Miami. Dozens of smaller companies have popped up on the Trail all the way through to Naples and into Everglades City. Kennon says that, since 1980, the area has gone from roughly 25 companies to 2,500.
Matthews is one of those small operators. A retired airline pilot, he began to airboat professionally in 2001. Back then, he helped government agencies and research organizations — the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of Environmental Protection, scientists from Louisiana State University — travel the Everglades to conduct studies. After doing an educational show about frogs for New York City's PBS affiliate, he began to think of expanding his business.
Soon he started working with TV shows such as The Amazing Race, CSI: Miami, and Burn Notice and a number of projects for Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel. He even appeared in an episode of Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami, the Magic City-based spinoff of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in which Matthews discovered the sisters stranded in the Everglades and found them a cabin in the swamp.
Matthews is full of impressive claims — for instance, he used to own a repair shop for Porsches and Ferraris in Coral Gables in the '70s and '80s, and Animal Planet approached him to replace Steve Irwin after the Australian explorer's death in 2006. "I didn't nail the audition, so to speak," he says, chuckling. But there's little mirth in his voice when he talks about his run-ins with other airboat captains.
"I have no respect for Coopertown or Safari Park," he says. "I've done nothing to hurt them."
In November 2007, he says, Kennon verbally and physically threatened him during a tour. As Matthews recalls, he was leading a private tour in the park when Kennon approached on an airboat.
"Jesse flies in and he's screaming, 'Get your motherfucking ass out of my Everglades,' " Matthews says. "Then he grabs a pipe, and he's going, 'I'm going to kick your fucking ass!' "
It's difficult to imagine the 70-year-old Kennon, who is soft-spoken and quiet, threatening to beat a man. With a wispy ponytail, glasses, and a green polo shirt tucked into jeans, he looks more like a retired high school science teacher than a swamp denizen. Though he acknowledges that he and Matthews had an argument, he vehemently denies any physical threat was made.

T-35 is a heavy tank of the 1930s made in the USSR. It is the only five-turret tank of mass production. In the period since 1933 to 1939 61 units were produced. It had not participated in battles till 1941 however was used for military parades being the symbol of the Soviet power. T-35 took part in early battles of WWII however it was lost too soon because of multiple occuring failures.
They started to develop the tank in the end of the 20s. But Soviet engineers didn't have enough experience in this sphere so they invited the German specialists who came to the USSR in 1930 and helped to design the tank.
The first tank, T-35-1, was made in August, 1932. Its weight was 42 tons, its armour was 30-40 mm thick. The tank was equipped with one 76 mm gun, two 37 mm guns and three more guns. The crew consisted of 10-11 persons. The dimensions of the tank were 9720 x 3200 x 3430 mm. The travel speed of the tank was 28 km/h. The top of the main turret had a rounded shape.
T-35-1 showed good results during the first trials in 1932 however some disadvantages were also noticed in the power package. Besides, the construction of the pneumatic control and transmission was too complicated and expensive for mass production. The designers were offered to refine the project.
T-35-2 was assembled in April, 1933 and in May it already participated in a military parade in Leningrad.
As opposed to the first model of T-35 the new one had a diffrent main turret, another engine, cover skirt and had some other small changes.
At the same time there was being designed a T-35A, which was much different from T-35-1(2). Its chassis was lengthened with one more truck, small machine gun turrets had a different design, average turrets of the enlarged shape were equipped with a 45-millimeter cannons 20K.Tthey also changed the form of the body, and made some other differences. In fact, it was a completely new machine.
During the production period the design of the tank was modified many times. They were changing armour thickness, engine power, weight of the tank, number of crew members etc.

Are you Tie Curious?
May 15, 2012 by admin
Filed under Diva Dish, Diva-va-voom, Uncategorized
All the press about "50 Shades of Grey" lately has undoubtedly made a new group of people "tie curious."
Still, the idea of actually trying sex toys or bondage can sometimes be a bit intimidating. On the one hand, you don't want to get in over your head, and the idea of allowing someone to have more control over you physically can be a little bit uncomfortable. At the same time though, these ideas can be exciting, and there is a good chance that they could actively enhance your sex life if you decide to try them.
So, what does this renewed buzz about bondage mean for you? Well, read on because the experts at Adam & Eve have come up with some tips to help you become a bit more comfy with bondage.
1. Do a little research on the topic so that you can have a more thorough and complete understanding of it. For example, visit http://www.adameve.com/ and look through the different toys and bedroom accessories – you may be surprised, once you actually look into it, how many of these toys actually seem fun, instead of intimidating. This can definitely help you and your partner to feel more comfortable with the idea of playing with sex toys, and can even help you to get excited for it.
2. This may be a bit obvious to you, but take advantage of softer, lighter bondage tools. Instead of handcuffs or ropes, as some couples use, try using a nice smooth satin tie, or something similar, for the actual tying. This not only feels more comfortable physically, but can also help you to view the whole situation more lightly – it will likely become substantially less intimidating.
3. Try easing into bondage play by only doing it partially the first few times. For example, if you ultimately want to have your hands and feet all tied up, try some bondage play with only your hands tied, or only your feet tied, and get used to the idea before you completely tie yourself down. This will give you both a learning experience and something to look forward to!
4. If you are going to try bondage play but you're still uncomfortable with the idea, make sure that your partner understands that. Surely if you are trying new things sexually you trust and understand your partner, and knowing that he understands your comfort level and is willing to stop if you want him to can help to put you at ease. This can be the most important step in becoming more comfortable with toys or bondage play in your relationship.

9th ggf of Gordon Fisher
Roberts, p 389, for royal ancestry
HARLEIAN MS. 1196, fol. 167a: "Samuel App: 4 filius." The manuscriptshows a descent tree for APPULTON. It is reproduced in *Memorial ofSamuel Appleton, of Ipswich, Massachusetts; with Genealogical Noticesof Some of His Descendants*, compiled by Isaac Appleton Jewett, BostonMA, 1850, p 62-63. There's an editorial note: "A folded sheet ofpaper written about the time of James I. or Charles I."
"SAMUEL APPLETON, son of Thomas and Mary (Isaac) Appleton, was born inLittle Waldingfield, Suffolk County, England, in 1586, and baptizedAugust 13, of that year. About 1628 he removed to Reydon, and fromthence, in 1635, emigrated with his family to New England. (P) SamuelAppleton settled in Ipswich, Mass., and was admitted a freeman, May25, 1636. He was chosen a Deputy from his town to the General Courtin 1637, and was a member of the Grand Jury in 1641. He died in June,1670, in Rowley, Mass., where he is said to have lived for some yearsprior to his death."
--- William F. J. Boardman, *The Ancestry of William F. J.Boardman, Hartford, Connecticut*, 1906, p 314-315. The children ofSamuel Appleton and Judith Everard are given by Boardman as follows:"I. John, b. 1622. II. Samuel [see SAMUEL (2)]. III. Sarah, b. 1627;m. 1652, Rev. Samuel Phillips of Rowley, Mass. IV. Judith, m. Dec.12, 1657, Samuel Rogers of Ipswich, and d. 1659. V. Martha, m.Richard Jacob of Ipswich."
Boardman gives on p 315-317 a list of English ancestors of thisSamuel Appleton, "prepared by Richard Almack, in 1838, and reproducedin Jewett's "Memorial of Samuel Appleton," Boston, 1850." Each entryin the list is given in it s proper place in this tree. The entry forthis Samuel is "IX. Samuel Appleton, the emigrant."
The editor (apparently John T. Hassam) of Henry F Waters'*Genealogical Gleanings*, 1901, casts some doubt on Almack's list.Waters gives on p 94-95 the will of ROBERT RICE of Preston, Suffolk,gentleman in which we have: "To my loving brother-in-law SamuelAppleton, gentleman, now dwelling at Ipswich in New England." Theeditor adds (p 95): "Samuel Appleton, named in this will, a son ofSamuel Appleton [rather than Thomas Appleton] of Little Waldingfield,Suffolk, England, was born in that parish in 1586, and was baptizedthere Aug. 13 of that year. He died in Rowley, Mass., 1670. Messrs.I. A. Jewett (1850), John Appleton (1867) and W. S. Appleton (1873 and1874) have published books on this family. Mr. Jewett prints the willof Robert Ryece [i.e., Rice] in full."
"SAMUEL [APPLETON] Bapt. Little Waldingfield, co. Suffolk, Eng., 13Aug 1586. Ipswich (Mass.) 1635. d. Rowley June 1670. Gentleman.Armiger. Deputy.

"(IX) Samuel Appleton, the immigrant ancestor of the American line,was a son of Thomas (2) Appleton, mentioned above. He was born atLittle Waldingfield, England, in 1586; married at Preston, England,January 24, 1616, Judith Everard (some accounts give his wife's nameas Mary). He came to Massachusetts and took the freeman's oath, May25, 1636, and as early as July, 1636, was a resident of Ipswich. Inthe same year Sarah Dillingham bequeathed to Appleton and his wife,and committed the education of her child to Mr. Saltonstall and Mr.Appleton. The title Mr. indicated social position above the ordinary,and but three others in Ipswich at that time were given this prefix inthe records. He was chosen deputy to the general court in May, 1637,and received several grants of land besides his great farm of fourhundred and sixty acres; the ancient grant is now entirely in thepossession of direct descendants. He died at Rowley, Massachusetts, inJune, 1670. He married (first) Judith Everard; (second) Martha -----.Children of first wife: Mary, born at Little Waldingfield, 1616;Judith (she and all but the two youngest were also born at LittleWaldingfield)m 1618; Martha, 1620; John, 1622; Samuel (2) mentionedbelow; Sarah, born at Reydon, 1629. Child of second wife: Judith,born at Reydon, 1634, married Samuel Rogers of Ipswich."
--- William Richard Cutter, *New England Families*, NY 1913, p 177
"SAMUEL APPLETON, the common ancestor, so far as known, of all thename in New England, emigrated from Waldingfield, in the county ofSuffolk, England, in the year 1635. The two parishes of Great andLittle Waldingfield are contiguous to each other, about three milesfrom Sudbury, and four from Groton. (P) From "Weever's AntientFuneral Monuments," and from a pedigree in the British Museum, itappears that the family had been settled there previous to the year1400. The earliest ancestor, of whom there is any authentic record,is John Apulton of Great Waldingfield, who was living in 1396, andfrom whom Samuel was in the seventh generation of descent. ..... Itwill be seen that Samuel Appleton was the fourth son of Thomas. Hiseldest brother, Sir Isaac, resided in the manor house of HolbrookHall, which remains apparently in the same state as when he occupiedit. It is not known how he became possessed of the knightly title ofSir. His christian name was probably derived from his mother, whosemaiden name was Mary Isaack. There are no living male descendants ofSir Isaac, nor of either of his two brothers, John and Thomas. SirJ.H.Preston of Beeston St. Lawrence, in Norfolk, is a descendant ofSir Isaac, in the female line. Mary, the eldest sister of Samuel,married Robert Ryece, of Preston. He was an eminent antiquarian.Several particulars relating to him will be found in the Appendix,including his will, certainly in its preamble a very curious document,showing a decided leaning towards Puritanism. Another sister, Judith,married Dr. Lewis Bayley, Bishop of Bangor; another, Sarah, marriedEdward Bird of Walden. ... (P) SAMUEL APPLETON was born in 1586, atLittle Waldingfield, Suffolk county, England. His name first appears,in this country, among the persons who took the freeman's oath, 25thof 3d month, (May,) 1636. ..... He appears to have contemplated anearlier emigration, as we infer from a letter of Governor Winthrop tohis son at Groton, dated August 14th, 1630, and written shortly afterhis arrival. Every circumstance shows conclusively that hisemigration must have been prompted by religious motives, as a Puritan.He settled at Ipswich, where he had a grant of lands ..... (P) He wasDeputy at the General Court, 17th May, 1637, and was chosen withCaptain Daniel Dennison to assist at the particular Court at Ipswich.He was also at the Court, 6th June same year at Boston, and also 6thAugust, when he was on a committee for raising a rate of #400[pounds]. He was also present at the Court of 26th September sameyear, but was not chosen to the new Court, which met on the 2dNovember following. We are informed by Backus, in his History of NewEngland, of the cause of his being left out. The former Court refusedto support the views of the Synod at Newton, which condemnedeighty-two errors in religion, as connected with Mrs. Hutchinson andher party. A new Court was chosen, better disposed to sustain theintolerant views of the times, which banished Mrs. Hutchinson andseveral others. This dismission from public life, under thesecircumstances, is honorable to him, and he does not afterwards appearin it. (P) Few particulars only can be collected of him. He was onthe Grand Jury in 1641. ..... (P) Samuel Appleton married Mary [shouldbe Judith] Everard, or Everett according to Farmer. Nothing fartheris known of her, than that the family of Everard was a highlyrespectable one in the County of Suffolk. [Footnote: "The followingwas extracted from a manuscript, *The Breviary of Suffolk*, in theBritish Museum: -- "Everard. -- This family is very anceint, and hadfair possessions in LInstead, Laxfield, Hasketon and dunston." "]. Sheaccompanied her husband, with their five children, to this country. Hedied June 1970, at Rowley, Massachusetts, where he was buried, andwhere is is probable he had resided with his daughter, Mrs. [Sarah]Phillips, during the latter part of his life. By Mary Everard he hadthe following children: -- 1. John [see under his name]. 2. Samuel[see under Samuel (2)]. 3. Sarah [see under her name]. 4. Judith, m.Samuel Rogers, 1657, son of the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers of Ipswich, andbrother of John, President of Harvard College. He was town-clerk ofIpswich in 1653, and died in 1693. It is unknown if he leftdescendants. 5. Martha, m. Richard Jacob of Ipswich, who died 1672.Their children were, -- 1. Richard, d. 1676; 2. Thomas; 3. John; 4.Martha, m. Simon Willard of Salem; 5. Judith, m. Hovey. RichardJacob's will makes his brothers, John Appleton and Samuel Appleton,with Richard Hubbard, overseers. His lands adjoined those of SamuelAppleton on the south-west.

June 1670 atRowley, Mass. (P) He removed about 1628 to Reydon in co. Suffolk,England; came to New England in 1635, and was one of the earliest townofficers of Ipswich. From an expression in a letter from the firstGov. Winthrop, to his son John in England, dated Aug. 14, 1630, it issupposed that he had projected an earlier settlement. This says: "For*Mr. Appleton* take no money of him, for he can have no cows; therecame not on shore one halg of them." He was made Freeman May 25, 1636and Representative from Ipswich the next year, at the May andSeptember sessions of the General Court. At the May session, he waschosen "to assist at the perticuler Courts at Ipswich." On Aug. 8,1639, he sent power of Atty. for the management of his lands andtenements at Monks-Ely, England, to Isaac Appleton. He was called"brother" by Robert Ryece of Preston, Eng., in a letter to Gov.Winthrop of July 17, 1636; out of the list of 69 persons made Freemen,he was one of 9 who had the prefix "Mr/" (Records of Mass., vol.

When the Miami Heat moved into the Arena six years ago, the team was greeted as the resurrection of downtown. No city had suffered more racial strife than ours during the previous decade. Few were as segregated. The Heat were supposed to unite our fractious kingdom. The Arena, their beautiful pink palace, was supposed to restore the center to our centerless city and lure bucks to local businesses. Today it seems quite obvious what the franchise has done: supplied thousands of white fans A who wouldn't dream of driving through Miami's ghettos and who probably feel vaguely guilty about this fact -- with a dose of Ghetto Lite.
The team has also made oodles and oodles of money.
But not, as it turns out, enough oodles. Now Heat ownership wants a new building with more seats and, especially, skyboxes. Ah yes, skyboxes. Ever wonder why owners are so hot on these deluxe seating areas? Here's how it works in the Arena: a corporation rents a skybox for anywhere from $75,000 to $120,000 per season, in exchange for which they get not just the skybox, but additional tickets, and often the rights to some of the arena's coveted advertising. (A swell place to bring Japanese investors, in other words, plus high-profile signage.) Unlike normal ticket profits, which are split with the league, skybox rental fees are dropped straight into the owners' fat little fists. Does the purchasing company particularly care about the Heat? Who cares; it's a business deal.
Schaffel, who reportedly snubbed an offer of $130 million for his team a fortnight ago, says the Arena makes it impossible to compete financially with other NBA teams. Bullshit. The terms of his lease agreement with the City of Miami, which spent $46 million in public money to build the Arena, are, simply put, a steal. Some blame the politicians for not building a bigger venue. But back when Schaffel was trying to land a franchise, he thought the place was just dandy. He wanted an intimate space. Now he wants more profit. And he, like all piggy owners, knows he can get his way by moving elsewhere, or threatening to.
Officials from Miami, a city teetering on the brink of insolvency, recently proposed a $90-million makeover of the Arena. "We will do everything within reason to accommodate the Miami Heat," says Bill Perry III, executive director of the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority, which oversees the Arena. Perry says city honchos are also vying to keep the Panthers in the Arena, despite Huizenga's stated intention to move the team ASAP. Their long-shot pitch: Allow Wayne to rename the building Blockbuster Arena. "We'd give him the name rights and the keys to the place, for a flat fee of $1.5 to $2 million per year," says a source familiar with the as-yet-unannounced offer.
One thing's for sure: The Panthers and Heat will never agree to share the same venue. Both teams want the same prime game dates, and the lion's share of concessions, parking, and the revenue generated by advertising within the building. The real question is whether the city can lure either team to stay.
But what, in the end, would that accomplish? After six years of wrangling with the Heat, Perry doesn't sound so sure himself. "There has been some impact on Bayside, but clearly the numbers thrown around when the Heat came in, about a multimillion-dollar impact and thousands of jobs, are just ludicrous. It's the song and dance you have to go through to get a franchise. But once that happens, everybody knows what the real story is."
Certainly, Edward Branch knows. A young black man built like a fire hydrant, he roamed the streets outside the Arena during the Heat opener, trying to make a few bucks scalping tickets. "Motherfuckin' trickle-down, that's what this shit is," he mumbled. "I'll be lucky if I make twenty dollars. Those brothers inside [the Heat players] are making millions. And they don't even give it back to the community. Why doesn't one of them build a youth center with all that money? How d'you think the brothers out here feel, just watching a few thousand scared white folks walk they asses 'round here, then get out three hours later?"
Behind the scalper, the pink palace of Overtown gleamed. A junior high school band played. The swells were arriving, and TV cameras captured the eerie image of Muhammad Ali, who stood handing out religious pamphlets, his body stiff as a puppet's. "I been to college. I'm no fool," Branch told me. "I don't need to pay no $40 to see Shaquille O'Neal, 'cause I can watch 100 Shaqs where I come from."
A hundred aspiring Shaqs, anyhow; the top players inevitably get sucked up by the NBA. Schaffel and his owner buddies sow millions hiring the best and reap millions more, as every scalper knows too well, by selling them to Rich White Guys. All of which has the net effect of transforming basketball, an alleged instrument of racial harmony, into a potent reminder that most black men never make it past the playground. "Fuck this," Branch said when he'd grown too resentful to say anything else. "I ain't getting shit outta this."

Razorlight headline at High Lodge at the first of the Forestry Commission concerts at the venue Photograph Simon Parker
By REBECCA GOUGH
Friday, June 15, 2012
The 2012 series of Thetford Forest gigs kicked off in style last night with popular guitar band Razorlight.
Showing off their wide range of hits, the group produced a set packed full of old and new tunes which went down a storm with the crowd.
Although not a sell-out, what was the first of six concerts to be held in the heart of the woodland set the tone for what is to come.
With lights in the trees producing an ethereal effect, the forest was transformed into a temporary arena as family enjoyed a picnic before the band appeared and quickly got into the swing of things when they did.
Razorlight began by giving the crowd what they knew with catchy singles from their hit albums Up All Night, Razorlight and Slipway Fires.
But it was the run-away hit Golden Touch which got the crowd singing along and, despite a chilly evening, the rain held off as front man Johnny Borrell gave a polished performance, showing off his years of experience.
Moving on to slower tracks, including a cover of A Girl Like You, the crowd continued to join in singing and clapping along.
Overall, the evening was a mix of the popular classics that put Razorlight on the map back in 2004 and new material which the crowd appeared to welcome.
Folk/pop band Beth Jeans Houghton and the Hooves of Destiny also made a supporting appearance, showing off some outstanding vocals and a strong stage presence with hits from critically-acclaimed debut album Yes Truly, Cellophane Nose.
The line-up will continue with Plan B tonight and Will Young tomorrow, both of which have sold out.
Ed Sheeran will take up the mantle on July 12 (sold out), followed by Alfie Boe on July 13, and The Darkness on July 14.
1 comment
They were good but 53 minutes plus a couple of encores?! By comparison, this week, Springsteen played a 3+ hours set to a full house. 90 minutes would be reasonable; the band was, frankly, extracting the urine as noted by the lukewarm reception at the end.

The Greatest Forgotten Catholic Theologian of the 20th Century
Revered by many as the greatest Thomist theologian and by some as the greatest Catholic theologian of the 20th-century, Garrigou-Lagrange stood (as his great mentor St. Thomas Aquinas did) against the errors of his day. Like Aquinas who stood against the corrupted interpretations and translations of Aristotle, attacks on the Christian faith both within and outside the Church, and all sorts of other errors, Garrigou-Lagrange seemingly stood alone against the new assault on the Church known as Modernism.
Garrigou-Lagrange, in my reckoning, was as strictly orthodox as one could possibly get. He was a disciple of St. Thomas to the very core, an adept philosopher, and an orthodox theologian and son of the Church. So how is it that such a great mind in service to the Church seems so forgotten?
I confess that I don't know the answer. Perhaps it lies in the density of his writings - but then again, in my encounters with more popular and well-known theologians such as Henri de Lubac and Hans Urs von Balthasar, I have seen nothing but incredibly dense material. So this cannot be the reason.
Perhaps it is because Garrigou-Lagrange is unapologetically orthodox to the point of seeming "archaic". With the advent of the two World Wars, it seems that theology in general (both Protestant and Catholic) took a different turn. Scholasticism per se could have seemed outmoded - with the onslaught of war and genocide in these days, it was existentialism, paradox, and demythologization that seemingly began to take hold of the Christian mind. Despite the papal encyclical Humani generis (of which he was supposedly the ghost writer of) condemning many of the en-vogue opinions of some modern theologians, it seems that the orthodoxy of Garrigou-Lagrange slipped away into the dark without much ado.
This is incredibly unfortunate. Though I am no theologian, what I have read of Garrigou-Lagrange is incredible. As a Catholic theologian, he wisely draws from the greatest Doctors of the Church; not only St. Thomas Aquinas, but others such as St. John of the Cross and St. Catherine of Siena as well. His works warned of modernism's undermining of the faith, strengthened orthodox Catholic teaching, and stood as a beacon of light amidst swirling storms of theological errors and heresies. In my opinion, one would do well to introduce themselves to his works.
Of course, any theologian can seem intimidating to the average reader not acquainted with heavy material. Luckily, not all of Garrigou-Lagrange's works are written only for the academic and scholar, and some can be easily read by any Catholic serious about deepening their faith. Two works come to mind that are accessible, and these are The Three Conversions of the Spiritual Life, as well as The Last Writings (though this one is really hard to find unfortunately). The Last Writings is penetrating and profound, a welcome collection of meditations on the life of faith by a great theologian; on the other hand, The Three Conversions of the Spiritual Life is an excellent introduction to the spiritual life of Catholics. Drawing on orthodox Catholic teachings on grace, prayer, and faith, Garrigou-Lagrange outlines the mystical aspects of the spiritual life with surgical precision and sublime beauty. I cannot recommend the work enough - if you wish, you can pick up a cheap copy here.
In the end, I still have to raise my hands in the air as to why this great theologian and son of the Church is not better known and more widely read. But as it is, I hope these few words aid in changing that.
6 comments:
I know him : ) Of course, since he relies heavily on John of the Cross as well as other wonderful theologians. How can I not LOL! I like his *Christian Perfection and Contemplation*.
Thanks for always striving to help us learn about the *little knowns*.I think he upset a lot of people with the way in which he sought to silence de Lubac and others of that circle. He seems to have believed that a certain kind of neo-Thomism was the only legitimate way of doing theology, and he was pretty relentless in seeking to suppress other types of theology, and in seeking to silence the theologians who practised them. One could argue that this reflected a praiseworthy zeal for the truth, and one could equally argue that it represented the narrowness and rigidity of outlook which were the great weakness of neo-scholasticsm. Sadly, the arguments between neo-scholasticism and the various manifestations of the nouvelle theologie appear to have generated a lot of heat and antagonism on both sides among men of genuine holiness and goodwill.

My impression of his work, is that it was geared toward those with vocational callings, not laity, so it's a bit difficult to grasp without a wide understanding of theology (esp. theological history).
I've mentioned this before, but you can read his "Three Ages of the Interior Life" here:
Out of that large text, I've gleaned about 30 pages of notes I want to commit to memory, and print out for occasional review. A lot of the text is explanatory & background material, which is useful if you're studying the subject, but perhaps not so useful if you just want to get to the bottom line :)
I've found quite a few other works of Garrigou-Lagrange's online as well. I'll leave it to the reader to "GIY" :) - AnonymousJune 25, 2013 at 1:00 PM
Thank you for posting about the writings of Fr. Legrange. I have several on his works on my kindle that I was able to buy for less than a third of what I spent for the softbacks. He is a joy to read and I learn something new with every re-reading of his works.

totally crazy idea!!!!
?Ok, so here is a crazy idea that i have been thinking about, it doesnt directly deal with ibanking but i think its pretty interesting. Do you think that in this day and age, it is possible to create your own country. now for me this nation would be an artificial island since allt he land in the world is taken up. You would have to get permission to use a nations waters, but it would most likely be a small yet functional tax haven. all comments are welcome
?well, if you were to use a nation's waters, then that nation would probably force you to pay taxes and abide by its laws, so you wouldnt be your own sovereign nation. now, if you were to swim to the middle of the pacific and Lord knows how, form an island, then that'd be interesting. what would you name the country out of curiosity?
check this
HFcheck this out
?problem is you need other countries to recognise your sovereignty first - could pay them off i
Look into the idea of a

2015 Subaru Legacy receives upscale re-designFriday, May 2nd, 2014 Issue 18, Volume 18.
One of those offerings is the redesigned 2015 Subaru Legacy. The Legacy has enjoyed a sterling reputation for outstanding reliability over the years; the redesign gives it a more sporty, upscale and modern look; more interior room; better gas mileage; a quieter ride; more active-safety features; and all-new infotainment system. The more attractive look starts with a lower windshield angle with the base pulled forward two inches, narrower A-pillars, a larger grille, lower and wider stance, WRX-inspired headlamps and LED taillights. The Active Grill Shutter system helps achieve 10 percent better aerodynamic efficiency and fuel economy. The aluminum hood cuts weight. The overall look is more of a sporty coupe than the boxy sedan of previous years, which should appeal to todays buyers. The interior is clean and sporty with a horizontal design to add to the feel of spaciousness (the additional 1.6 cu ft gives it the largest interior passenger volume in the midsize segment). There are more soft-touch surfaces throughout as well as a standard 6.2" touch-screen display. The slightly-elevated seats contribute to better outward visibility. The 60/40 split folding rear seatbacks add versatility to the bigger trunk (15 cu ft). Fuel economy in this years models is improved. The base 175-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder gets 26 city/36 hwy, 30 mpg combined. The 256-hp flat six-cylinder gets 20 city/28 hwy, 23 mpg combined. Both get the Lineartronic® CVT transmission and standard all-wheel drive. This includes a six-speed manual mode and steering wheel paddle shifters â and this is an all-wheel drive car. The new unibody is 43 percent stiffer; the re-tuned suspension is more compliant without sacrificing handling response. Interior noise and vibration is also reduced with the Advertisement This years Legacy model is made safer with ventilated rear rotors added to the four-wheel disc brake system, electric power-assist steering, standard rearview camera and optional blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and adaptive foglights. Subarus EyeSight® system (available on Premium and Limited trim models) integrates adaptive cruise control, pre-collision automatic braking and lane departure warning. Five Subaru models have been rated as top safety picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The new standard Infotainment System includes a CD player, 6.2" touch-screen Starlink with Aha and Pandora capabilities, the rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, iPod control, a USB port and an aux-in port. The system puts news, food information, weather, music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other multimedia content at the users fingertips. The 2015 Subaru Legacy will arrive at dealers this summer in two models and three trims. The 2.5i will offer Standard, Premium and Limited trims; the 3.6R model offers only Premium trim with perforated leather upholstery, a ten-way power-adjustable driver seat, heated front and rear seats, a keyless entry/ignition and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The 2.5i Premium model offers a six-speaker sound system, seven-inch screen, SiriusXM and SMS texting. The Limited trim features the 576-watt sound system with twelve Harman Kardon speakers. The 2015 Subaru Legacy competes in a crowded class and the new sleek styling, upgraded technology and higher content level puts it among the top contenders. Its real legacy, of course, is a history of years and years of outstanding reliability in its torquey engines and all-wheel dive systems. In fact, 95 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the last ten years are still on the road today. The Subaru Legacy is the only car in its class with standard All-Wheel Drive. Test drive one soon at John Hine Subaru on Ynez Rd. in Temecula. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!
