Samuel Silas Jordan
Abt 1578 - 1632Genealogy Search Print Bookmark Login Home
Birth Abt 1578 County Wiltshire, England Gender Male Died Apr 1632 Nansemond Co., Virginia - "Beggars Bush" Buried Apr 1632 Jordan Point, Prince George Co., Virginia - Jordan's Journey Plantation Notes - Were survivors of the Jamestown Massacre of of March 22, 1622

Samuel Jourdan left Dorchester, England, in the Sea Voyage in 16-- with Sir George Somers. They were wrecked off the coast of Bermuda 1608 and arrived in Virginia 1609. Two authorities say he was married twice. Our family records say he was married first in France and daughter Anne Marie was born there 1597. One authority says that Samuel Jourdan came to Virginia when he was about 32 and that he arrived in 1609. He married second wife, Cicely [---] in 1618.
Samuel Jourdan was a member of House of Burgesses 1619 and of the first Legislature that convened in America. After the Great Massacre of 1621 he gathered together the stragglers left about him at Beggar's Point, fortified it, and held it in spite of all the Indians and disturbances. He died 1623. His home was on the James River, known as Jourdan's Point.
Sanuel Jordan came to Virginia, 1610, according to the patent for 450 acres in Charles City issued to him 10 Dec. 1620, which recited that he was "as ancient planter who hath abode ten years complete in this colony." This grant was divided in three parcels which, together with houses thereon, are described in the patent.
The location at which Samuel Jordan lived originally was called "Beggar's Bush," and after the massacre of 22 March 1621/2, "Master Samuel Jordan gathered together but a few of the stragglers about him at 'Beggar's Bush,' where he fortified and lived in despite of the enemy."
In maintaining his settlement Jordan had the approval of Governor Francis Wyatt who wrote to the Council in London, April 1622, "that he thought fitt to hold a few outlying places including the plantation of Mr. Samuel Jordan's; but to abandon others and concentrate the colonists at Jamestown." By 1623, this plantation on the south side of James River across from "Berkeley" was known as "Jordan's Journey."
Samuel Jordan represented Charles City at the first representative legislative assembly in the new world which convened at Jamestown, 30 July 1619. He died before April 1623 and the following November a warrent was issued "to Mr. Farrar to bring in the account of Mr. Jordan's estate." and at the same time "another warrant was issued to Mrs. Jordan that Mr. Farrar put in security for the performance of her husband's will."
Samuel Jordan married Sisley (Cicely) [---], who came to Virginia in 1611 and was listed in the census of 1623/4 at "Jordan's Journey." (See below) She presumably was the widow of [---] Baley and mother of Temperance Baley. She married (3), 1625, William Farrar.
Issue of marriage to Sisley: Mary, born in Virginia, 1621; Margaret, born in Virginia, 1623.

It had been a long, unpleasant day.
Right then, at a few minutes past 7:00 p.m., the House floor was empty; most members of Congress were already on their way home for the Fourth of July recess. But Skaggs was going to speak anyway, for the record. And standing a few feet away at a second lectern was Rep. Jose Serrano, a fellow Democrat from the South Bronx who was there to lend his moral support.
The trouble had arisen several weeks before. In a tough budget year, as a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee -- specifically, of the subcommittee that oversees funding for the departments of commerce, justice, and state -- Skaggs had been looking for programs to cut from the 1994 budget. In Radio Martí and TV Martí, he believed he had found two prime candidates. And indeed, in mid-June, at Skaggs's urging, the subcommittee had voted to cut all funding for both programs, a total of nearly $28 million.
A week later, though, when the trimmed budget went to the full Appropriations Committee, Miami Rep. Carrie Meek successfully argued to allow $8.7 million in funding for Radio Martí, in spite of Skaggs's objections. Before the appropriations bill went before the entire House of Representatives for consideration, Meek, along with fellow Miami representatives Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, had met with Skaggs to persuade him not to do anything that would endanger Radio Martí. But as Meek had told the congressional newspaper Roll Call, Skaggs was unwilling to compromise; he promised to fight against Radio Martí funding on the House floor.
So it had come about that on that fateful first day of July, the day on which the appropriations bill was coming up for debate, Diaz-Balart paid the Rocky Mountain State congressman a visit. While other aspects of the bill were being discussed, the freshman representative from Miami confronted Skaggs and admonished him to abandon his crusade against Radio Martí. (Diaz-Balart's actions are characterized by one congressional source as "a very angry outburst" during which the Floridian warned that if Skaggs didn't leave Radio Martí alone, he would see to it that every program the Coloradan held dear likewise was decimated.)
Skaggs stood his ground.
Although the final House vote on funding for Radio Martí was postponed until the second week in July, Diaz-Balart had wasted no time in making good on his threat. That very afternoon, in a parliamentary move known as a "point of order," he axed a $23 million construction project that was heading for Skaggs's district.
The Cuban American National Foundation wasn't wasting any time, either. No sooner had Diaz-Balart killed the Colorado construction item when the political exile group issued a press release gloating over the pre-emptive strike. The statement, faxed to every major newspaper in Colorado, was entitled, "Opposition to Cuba Initiative Costs Boulder Rep Pet Project." (The foundation was keenly interested for several reasons. Not only do they believe the Martí broadcasts are vital to keeping the Cuban people informed, but foundation chairman Jorge Mas Canosa is also chairman of the President's Advisory Board for Cuba Broadcasting, which has been the unofficial governing board for both Radio and TV Martí.)
Of course, the fact that Skaggs was about to decry the day's events for the congressional record would not go overlooked.
Jose Cardenas, a Cuban American National Foundation spokesman, implies that Skaggs's response pegs him as nothing short of a bellyaching wimp. "When you throw three roundhouse right hooks at something that is so important to the Cuban American people and then you cry foul when somebody takes a poke back at you, well, it seems to me to be rather surprising behavior," Cardenas says. "He was the one who came looking for the fight. He kept coming back for more, so we gave him more. A person can only roll with the punches for so long."
"If anything, Congressman Diaz-Balart has gained a lot of respect," adds a Republican congressional staffer. "Skaggs never expected that a freshman would have the know-how or the guts to do this. Lincoln has placed himself in a position where he let people know, particularly more senior members of Congress, that they are not always going to get their way with him. Overall, this was good for his image on the Hill."
Not everyone, however, agrees. Rep. Carrie Meek has tried to distance herself from the affair; she told Roll Call she didn't endorse Diaz-Balart's actions. "It's not the way I would've done it," she said, "but I can't speak for anybody else."
While the feud rated barely a mention in the Miami Herald, it was front-page news in the Denver Post. In Washington, Roll Call ran a story about the tiff under the headline, "Freshman Rep. Diaz-Balart Gets Revenge on Rep. Skaggs, to the Tune of $23 Million." "Skaggs Alienates Cuban Lobby" was the headline on a Boulder Daily Camera editorial, which went on to outline the reasons Skaggs believed Radio Martí was a waste of taxpayer money. "This reasoning makes sense to us and probably to many of Skaggs's constituents in Colorado," the editorial reads. "But it is blasphemy to the Cuban American community in Florida. So Cuban-born Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., pulled a parliamentary maneuver to punish Skaggs for his temerity."

Rain drips down the drainpipe just outside my second story window, striking counterpoint to the gurgle of water in the storm gutters. A car drives by a few streets away, it's tires unmistakable against wet asphault. Trees rustle in the slight breeze, shedding their reddened leaves onto neatly mown lawns.
More drip now, less gurgle. When I first moved here, the sound kept me awake at night, now, it's my favorite lullaby.
I'm tired, but sleep is ellusive. If I don't fall asleep, then I won't have to wake up tomorrow. It's a sure sign that depression is on the horizon, but I can't quite muster the energy to do something about it.
This is a night for lovers, for curling up together under warm blankets and whispering sweet secrets in the shelter of the dark.
I remember watching the rain fall one night, with someone special. I don't remember if I knew then or not.
Rain is bittersweet. I love the cool freshness of it, but loathe the darkness it brings. Darkness that is echoed in my mind. Every winter, I battle the ever present depression that threatens. It looms closer with every passing day, butting it's ugly head into every thought that enters my head. I fight and fight and fight, but sometimes, somtimes it's too much, and I so loathe asking for help.
Each winter I say will be different. Each winter since that first one, when the darkness ate away at me until there was almost nothing left, I say I'll do better. I'll stay strong, and fight it off. Maybe this will be that winter. It's different, and yet the same. Same weather, same house, same life, but no school. No tests, no groups, no pressure to do well.
The rain ebbs and flows outside my open window. Cool air wafts through my room. I am almost, but not quite too warm under my quilt and fleece.
My mind is numb with sleep, but I cannot give in yet. To sleep is to dream, and I'm not ready to face that yet. Not ready to face the nightmares, or worse, Her.
I can hear the water rush down the gutters into the stormdrain on the street below. The distant, muted roar of traffic on the highway is so normal, I can only hear it when I listen. Rain cloaks the world outside, blurring the yellow streetlights.
Late nights are no stranger to me. Books are my best friend, relief from my mind. I fear the beast that lurks inside, but as always don't know how to fight.
The headache stabs at me, a piercing pain above my left eye that comes and goes at it's liesure.
The water is soothing in a primal way. It eases something inside me that I didn't know was tight. The world is cold, but the cool settles me, reminds me to look inside.
I'm so tired...I want to read more, write more, but I don't want to think. I want my mind to go away and leave me in peace. I wish for a storm, a real storm, with howling winds and sheets of piercing rain. A storm might clear the shadows in my head, might empty me for new possibilities.
Rain must do for now. The rain is wonderful, peaceful, calming. It sings a silent song to me and reminds me of something I didn't know I'd forgotten. Every winter is the same, but every year I somehow forget.

We rely on our partner organizations, the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in State Politics, to uniquely identify individuals' campaign finance and lobbying activity. If data appears to be missing, it may be that they have not identified all influence activity for this individual. If the data is completely different than you expected, it may be that you're looking at a different person with the same name.
In these cases, we suggest searching the raw records in the campaign finance Data section, which provides extra information about each contribution, such as the donor's city, state and employer. This information should allow you to judge for yourself if the contribution came from the person for whom you searched.

The Gospel of Ste McCabe
Artrocker.TV talks to the 'queer punk' and outspoken gay and lesbian activist that is Ste McCabe...
Please state your name, profession and any subversive activities you wish to declare.
I am Ste McCabe, professional man of the queer dancefloor. Subversive activites are a-plenty and include the promotion of queer and female musicians on my radio show on Dandelion Radio, my Pussy Whipped club nights in Manchester, and most of all the angry noise which comes from my mouth, guitar and drum machines (collectively called songs).
The mainstream gay scene is percieved as a pop fanbase. Is that a dangerous stereotype?
No, it's absolutley true, which is why I have nothing to do with it. The mainstream gay scene promotes the same safe, generic dance trash and encourages people to think about nothing but their hair-do's. Let it rot I say.
In the artwork for your last album, you notoriously juxtaposed a photo of the Pope with Nazi imagery - what was the idea behind this, and did it land you in trouble?
My aim was to point out his hatred towards LGBT people and the violence and murder in many countries it encourages. Probably if he got a willy up his bottom, he would come out of the closet and stop being so bitter. I'm not volunteering though! Some people said I was unfair for comparing religious states to Nazism, particularly some Islamic ones, but targeting LGBT's for torture and murder leaves it hard for me to find pleasant comparisons I'm afraid.
You're about to put on a night called Queer Riot, as part of the Hot August Fringe Festival in London. What's the idea behind it?
There's alot of queer art being brought together as a part of the Fringe Festival. I often find at these arts festivals that the thriving underground queer-feminist music scene is either unknown or unwanted. That's where this event comes in really, to remind people that music is art too, and one of the most most powerful forms.
You've got one band playing, Maria & The Gay, who don't have any music on their myspace player I noticed. What's going on there?!
They are an enigma, and need to be experienced live! Their last gig in Manchester saw them crammed inside a small tent onstage. Only two members of the audience could get inside to see them perform, the rest just saw shadows playing instruments from the outside! They are pure art and need to be seen.
Also playing is Abi Makes Music, could you tell us a bit about her?
Yes, she is the sarcastic electro-pop queen of the queer scene. Some people have rather disgustingly called her the lesbian Kate Nash, I think she has a dash of Depeche Mode and a dash of Lily Allen, her lyrics are brilliant and ridiculous. She's a star.
You're on Cherryade Records, which I would describe as a sort of boutique DIY indie... label... is that an accurate description?
I think that's a great description. Their home looks like a Barbie and My Little Pony Boutique actually! Seriously though, I think the only thing Cherryade artists all have in common is that they are very different to everything else that's going on, and not many others labels would release us. For different reasons, myself and bands like The Lovely Eggs, Candy Panic Attack or Bobby McGess all make people go "Eh? What are they going on about?"
Do they have an office? Is there a contract you sign?
They live in Cherryade Towers, where the magic happens. There's pink plastic furniture and records everywhere! It's all very relaxed, no contracts, we release stuff when we have it ready, which suits me as my next release later this year will be my fourth in under three years - it's as busy or relaxed as the artists want it to be, which is amazing allows for genuine creativity.
Finally, and to paraphrase the Flaming Lips, if you had infinite power, what would you do?
I'd give the Pope a pair of breasts and his own transgendered butch lesbian to fondle them. He'd be so much happier, and it would make a great record cover.

5 Robust Foreign Yields for 2013
Investors have been gravitating towards high-yield stocks ever since interest rates plunged in 2008 and traditional fixed-income investments like bonds and CDs no longer offered much of a payout. The search for yield has largely been focused on U.S. companies, but the same interest rate/fixed-income dynamics have been playing out across the globe. Indeed some of the most impressive yield plays can be found in Europe, Latin America and Asia, and these dividend payers often trade here in the U.S. as well.
Here are five robust yield plays from outside of our borders that trade in the U.S. that can help your portfolio produce more income.
Since World War II, buyers of German luxury sedans have had an easy choice. There's been Mercedes-Benz--and everyone else. Well, these days, the venerable auto maker faces major competition from brands such as BMW, Audi and Porsche. Still, it's a very lucrative business for all the major firms, as profit margins on luxury automobiles are far higher than the margins generated by economy cars.
To be sure, the European economic crisis spooked many investors that have been anticipating an utter implosion in the European auto market. As a result, shares of Germany-based Daimler (DDAIF), parent company of Mercedes-Benz, had fallen from the low $70's in early 2011 to the mid-$40's. Yet the sales weakness has mostly been confined to the economy-focused brands such as Peugeot, Fiat and Opel, and Daimler's shares have recently rebounded back into the $50's. Worried about an eventual dividend cut? That looks unlikely. Daimler did indeed slash its payout from $2.56 in 2007 to just $0.77 in 2008. Yet has been the case with every economic slowdown in the past, this dividend always comes back stronger. Daimler re-upped its dividend to $2.81 in 2011. Frankly, this dividend looks fairly solid right now, even in the face of tremendous economic challenges. Analysts expect Daimler's per share profits to rise roughly 5% in 2013 to around $6 a share, and expect the dividend to remain at current levels. That works out to a dividend yield in excess of 5%, among the highest of any auto maker in the world.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Despite Slumping Economy, Spaceport America Prepares for Lift Off
With key action taken in recent weeks, the world's first private spaceport is edging closer to a groundbreaking.
Designed by Foster + Partners and URS Corp., the $198 million Spaceport America project is slated to be built in Upham, New Mexico. According to prior reports, the facility is designed to accommodate two transport airplanes and five spaceships. Its "superhangar" and terminal will include training facilities, a mission control center, viewing galleries, and passenger lounges.
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.
On December 15, the Federal Aviation Administration's associate administrator for Commercial Space Transportation issued a license for vertical and horizontal launch from the spaceport. Days later, the New Mexico Spaceport Authority selected Gerald Martin Construction Management of Albuquerque to oversee construction of the 100,000-square-foot hangar and terminal.
On December 31, Governor Bill Richardson announced that the State of New Mexico signed a 20-year lease agreement with Virgin Galactic. The lease agreement with an anchor tenant was the final requirement set by the New Mexico legislature to release the next level of funding for the project and has cleared the way for construction to begin.
"The signing of this agreement is a momentous day for our state and has cemented New Mexico as the home of commercial space travel," Richardson stated in a press release. He added that the partnership will "create a whole new industry that is going to transform the economy of southern New Mexico—creating thousands of jobs, generating money for education, boosting tourism, and attracting other companies and economic opportunities to the area."
James Mee, Gerald Martin's vice president of construction management, described the project as a "historic endeavor" and said his company has assembled a team that will include specialists experienced with aviation and rocket facilities, aeronautical safety, and working with NASA.
Construction is set to begin in the first quarter of 2009, with the terminal and hangar scheduled for completion next year. Road construction is currently under way.

Ex-Dolphins QB Pat White Signs With The Marlins
Categories: Sports
Pat White, a name synonymous with Bill Parcells' crappy draft picks, has been offered a minor league contract with the Marlins. Update: Apparently he has accepted.
White was drafted in the second round in 2009 under the Parcells regime. He had minimal impact, and ended up being cut before the 2010 season (though, not before walking away with at least $2.4 million guaranteed on his contract). He then spent a short time in baseball under the Kansas City Royals, but ended up retiring. He returned to football for a short time as quarterback for the UFL's Virginia Destroyers, but ended up getting cut there as well.
Yesterday, White told 640 Sports that he had been offered a minor league contract with the Marlins. You know, because the Marlins now have a BOOMING farm system.
Though, White isn't sure whether to take the offer. The multi-sport athlete also told the radio station that he'd like to take another shot at the NFL if a team would give him a chance.

Rihanna is up to her old tricks — sending cryptic tweets that seem to be directed towards Chris Brown. What do YOU think?
Now that Rihanna and Chris Brown are giving their romance a second chance, Rihanna is letting it be known that she's not playing games this time — and she's not apologizing for it.
"I don't wanna give you the wrong impression… I need Love&Affection #UNAPOLOGETIC," Rihanna tweeted on Oct. 18.
Obviously, Unapologetic is the name of Rihanna's upcoming seventh studio album, but in this case she's not sorry for sharing her feelings.
And this isn't the first time that Rihanna and Chris have allegedly exchanged messages of love on Twitter.
"You have it ALL……. And you don't even know what to do with it!" Rihanna tweeted a couple of weeks ago.
"Just make love…. Love me!" Chris tweeted soon thereafter.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Is Rihanna's latest tweet directed at Chris?

how is he a 'good man'? hes just an obnoxious guy that loves attention, loves having two chicks, has a temper and is okay with smacking girls up. rihanna is a damaged idiot whos used to watching her dad smack her mom around, which is WHY she accepts this behavior from a guy, they should stay together coz theyre the new IKE AND TINA TURNER! WOO! lol
Rihanna is a whore
Posted at 1:31 AM on October 19, 2012
Rihanna is sick, this video is disgusting. This is a great song but a bad example. Funny the hopeless love in the video is blond like Chris was. Chris and Rihanna need help and some home flicking training. Stardom is too much for both of them to handle let alone a love relationship. She is a hoe. Karrueche is a nice girl and Chris sought her out and removed her from his life no one twisted his arm. Trust all you skanks on here would date him too if he came at you, don't hate.

She says we need closure, but its actually her that needs it. She's thinking of all the good tmes her and Chris had and pushing the many bad times in a corner of her mind and trying to ignore them. This reconcilliation will not last. Chris is still seeing Karrueche and Rihanna at the same like as he has been doing off and on for the past year. It's just that now Rihanna will get to be the humiliated girlfriend and Karrueche will be the sexy side vixen.
Posted at 11:30 AM on October 18, 2012
What Ever! Chris is not seeing Kae, He publicly humiliated and broke up with her in a statement and a MFing video,and he packed her clothes, tweeted a pic so Rihanna can see and threw her broke self out on the streets for "friendship" with Rihanna. CB got eyes for only Rihanna, he just said he love both to save face but truthfully after all that I dont even think he like Kae lol CB and Rihanna planning their next big move…Chris aint thinking about and never thought about kae so she need to find a job because her gravy train has left the station….

The 12x12 (12x zoom & 12 megapixels) Canon Powershot ELPH 510 HS delivers more than adequate resolution and an impressive zoom range in a truly pocketable compact point and shoot digital camera with a capacitive touchscreen that replaces all but the most essential physical controls with virtual controls. The lack of dedicated physical controls made it possible for Canon to include a large 3.2-inch (8.13 cm) LCD that completely dominates the back deck of this miniscule digital camera.
In addition to the features listed above, the ELP 510 HS also records images/video to a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor, utilizes Canon's proven DIGIC4 Image Processor (rather than the newer DIGIC5), includes Canon's HS System for improved low-light performance (up to ISO 3200), features full HD 1080p video with stereo audio (via a virtual stop/start video button), and provides an HDMI output, an Intelligent IS system (which automatically chooses from six different IS modes to optimize image stabilization for the shooting situation), and finally an improved Smart AUTO mode that intelligently selects the most appropriate scene mode for the shooting situation from 32 included scene modes.
Build and Design
The Canon Powershot ELPH 510 HS bears a striking family resemblance to the rest of the ELPH tribe. Canon's ELPH line has a history of robust construction and impressive durability and the ELPH 510 HS could easily become the poster child for tough little cameras - its metal-alloy body gives it a much more solid feel than many of its polycarbonate bodied competitors. At 2.3 inches (58.42 mm) by 3.9 inches (99.06 mm) by 0.9 inches (22.86 mm) and weighing in at 7.3 ounces (207 grams) this digital camera is supremely pocketable. For the stylistas among us, the ELPH 510 HS is available in silver, red, and black versions.
Ergonomics and Controls
The ELPH 510 HS was obviously designed for space conscious casual users and while this is a very pocket friendly little point and shoot digital camera, purchasers are strongly encouraged to immediately attach (and consistently use) the included wrist strap - because small digital cameras are very easy to drop and complex miniature electronic devices don't suffer impacts well.
For dedicated physical controls, the ELPH 510 HS provides only an on/off button, a two-position camera mode switch, the shutter button, the zoom toggle, and the review button. This arrangement will probably be applauded by smart phone users, but might cause some post-purchase remorse for more traditional users. Dedicated knobs, buttons, and switches are mostly absent - which gives the 510 HS a minimalist look - in fact there is nothing on the back of the camera, except the 3.2 inch LCD, a long skinny thumb rest, and the review button.
Menus and Modes
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 510 HS features the classic two tab Canon digital camera menu system - The menu system is logical, easy to navigate, and very simple - since the 510 HS allows only minimal user input. Below are the shooting modes available.
Smart Auto: Automatic scene recognition program that instantly compares what's in front of the lens with an on-board image database and then matches that information with the subject's distance from the camera, white balance, contrast, dynamic range, lighting and color (just before the image is recorded) to determine the best scene mode for that specific shooting situation.
Program: Auto exposure with limited user input.
Movie: The 510 HS records HD video at a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080p @ 24fps with stereo audio.
Like the vast majority of P&S digital cameras, the ELPH 510 HS doesn't provide an optical viewfinder, so shooters must rely solely on the 3.2-inch PureColor II Touch TFT LCD monitor for all viewfinder chores, including framing/composition, captured image review, and menu navigation. The 510 HS's 3.2-inch (461K) touchscreen LCD provides direct access to controls, functions, menus and even offers touch-based autofocus - just tap the screen exactly where you want the camera to lock focus. Most modern shooters don't like (or use) optical viewfinders anyway and in some shooting scenarios (macro shots and portraits come to mind), it is generally quicker and easier to watch the decisive moment come together on the LCD screen than it is through an optical viewfinder. LCD resolution has been steadily increasing over the last few years because consumers want larger, sharper, and quicker LCD screens. Several of Canon's competitor's P&S models provide 920k LCDs - twice the resolution of the 510 HS's 460k LCD.
The 510 HS's LCD monitor is noticeably coarser and slightly dimmer than some Nikon and Sony POINT AND SHOOT digital camera monitors, but it offers more than adequate resolution for the 510 HS's market demographic - it is hue accurate (what you see is what you get), fluid, automatically boosts gain in dim/low light, covers approximately 100% of the image frame, and provides all the information this digital camera's target audience is likely to need. The 510's LCD screen (like all LCD monitors) is subject to fading and glare/reflections in bright outdoor lighting - add to that the smudges and fingerprints that are unavoidable with touchscreen use and the LCD is often less than useful in bright outdoor lighting.
I love digital cameras, but I don't like touchscreens. Just because something works nicely on one type of product (smartphones) doesn't mean that it will work adequately with other (radically different) devices. Cameras need controls that respond immediately. Touchscreen controls on cameras lack the tactile assurance and confidence inspiring immediate response of traditional buttons, knobs, and switches. While touchscreens are undeniably getting better, they still often require multiple taps to access the feature or function sought, and that momentary delay could cost users a killer shot.

Ah, Valentine's Day!
The rush is on for grabbing a card on the way home or even finding a dozen red roses! Hallmark Windfall Day!
But it is also a day to think about marriage, relationships, divorce, staying together, making it legal — that sort of thing. So —
Why get married?
To the Editor:
Rensselaerville is a tiny village with a big heart. Three weeks ago, an 1814 historic home was fully involved in one of the worst fires the village has experienced.
A big, big thank-you to all the volunteers who planned and pulled off a wonderful fundraising event at Conkling Hall on Saturday, Jan. 31. To all our friends and neighbors from near and far, who turned out and gave so generously: Thank you.
Timothy Albright wrote a letter that beautifully expressed the sentiments of many in the town of New Scotland regarding the Hilton/LeVie barn, and, in this past edition, two more letters echoed the need for that barn to not only be saved but also to be kept where it belongs — at its historic site.

19.12.2011 Ecotricity to expand 'electric highway'
Ecotricity, leading green electricity provider, has installed a network of electric vehicle charging stations in motorway service stations, making it possible to travel between major cities without running out of power.
The 'electric highway' officially opens this weekend, and will initially link London, Bristol, Exeter, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District. Ecotricity have also announced that the network will be expanded in 2012.
Plans to extend the network involve installing additional points at motorway service stations so that Cardiff, Swansea, Edinburgh and Glasgow will be reachable with the existing range of electric vehicles. There will also be points placed at service stations on the M1, near Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds.
Other locations that will be included in the expanded network will be Fleet Service on the M3, in Hampshire – a busy service station which will allow people to travel with more confidence between London and the South West in an electric vehicle. Chargers will also be placed at the Eurotunnel passenger terminal.
A ChargePoint Services Ltd post is installed at each location. Each has the capability to provide a slow 13A charge using a domestic 3-pin plug, and a faster 32A charge through a Mennekes Mode 3 Type 2 connection. These will charge the average electric vehicle in roughly 8 or 4 hours respectively.
Charging points have become relatively common in most large towns and cities in the UK, largely funded through the Government's Plugged-In-Places scheme. The locations of every public installed charge point location can be seen on Next Green Car's Zap-Map.
However, Ecotricity's free electric highway network is the nation's first to be located between cities, increasing confidence of electric vehicle users wishing to travel between urban regions. It is this 'range anxiety' that seems to have been a major discouragement of buying electric cars, and that Ecotricity are hoping to reduce.

A 'stereotypical movement' denotes a movement reproduced in a standardised form. The term is used in two fields, in movement science and in medical assessments of pathology. The former recognises the occurrence of regular patterns of movement across individuals expressed at regular points in development, such as the pre-reach in early infancy. The latter specifies a pathological form of repetitive movement by one individual symptomatic of, for example, autism. This entry explores the inter-individual use of the term in movement science and touches on ongoing work to better classify and quantify stereotypical movements for better psychophysiological understanding of action development, and possible sensitive measures of them.

The 'sheep dip lady' vows to keep up the fight on organophosphates
THE Countess of Mar, who has spent much of the past two decades campaigning on behalf of fellow victims of organophosphate poisoning, tells Alistair Driver her extraordinary story.
The 31st Countess of Mar and 24th Lady Garioch has not been well of late. Problems with her heart and lungs have confined the peer to her Worcestershire home.
This has kept her away, to her intense frustration, from the place upon which she has spent the past 34 years imposing her indomitable will.
When the House of Lords held an election to retain 92 hereditary peers in 1999, Lady Mar topped the poll. The reason is the Lords love a fighter.
"I am well liked around the House. Everyone smiles at me when I go around the corridors as you have just seen," she responds, when I ask her why.
She is a 'sociable character' who has 'thrown herself' into the activities of the House and has been a deputy speaker and chairman in the Lords since 1999.
"But mainly I am known because of the OP campaign. I am known as the Sheep Dip Lady. I have asked thousands of questions. I think they appreciated my persistence," she says with a smile.
We are sitting in the appropriately austere House of Lords tearoom on one of the rare occasions she has been well enough to attend lately.
Over teacakes and oriental teas, I hear her extraordinary life story and occasionally savage views on the injustices that lie behind what she describes 'the major tragedy in agriculture of the last two decades of the 20th Century'.
It all started, for her, on a sunny day in June 1989 when she was dipping sheep with her husband, John. "I was the dunker at the front. My husband had a recalcitrant lamb. When he finally caught it, it made a splosh - it wasn't his fault - and I got a tidal wave into my wellies," she recalls.
"The instructions were tiny on the packet and didn't say you had to take all your clothes off and have a shower straight away. So I just kept dipping.
"We stopped to have lunch. Then in the afternoon I can remember sitting on the log. My nose was running. My chest was tight. I was wheezing. I had a headache. It all went off by next morning but then about three weeks later, I felt as though I had been pole-axed. I was so tired I had to go back to bed."
She did not immediately make the connection between her illness and the OP sheep dip. Her doctor 'helpfully' told her she was tired and it was 'your age, my dear'.
Penny dropped
It was another three years before the penny dropped. "In that time even I was beginning to think I had gone barking mad because we could not pin anything down," she says.
"I can't describe the pain. Touching my skin was excruciating. I used to weep when I was getting dressed and there was the pain in bed at night and the loss of appetite. I have an old photograph where I look like a skeleton with hollows around the back of my eyes."
The 'Eureka' moment happened while Lady Mar was reading a magazine from a GP trade association she was patron of and came across an article on 'dipper's flu'.
She had already been told by a complimentary medicine practitioner her liver had been poisoned and they then quickly narrowed the problem down to OPs. "We went through my history and every time I had dipped or sprayed OPs I was sick," she says.
She was seen by neurologist Goran Jamal who carried out tests that 'eliminated everything else, meaning it could only be the OPs'.
She has continued to suffer health problems ever since, some life threatening. "My heart packed in at one point, which is why I have got a pacemaker. The damage is still there," she says.
It is a fight still worth fighting and I shall go on raising it at every oportunity
Countess of Mar
But the knowledge of what was causing her illness partially lifted the psychological cloud she was under and unleashed a one-woman campaign to find answers and justice.
She had entered the House of Lords in 1975 when she assumed the oldest peerage title in the UK, on the death of her father, the Earl of Mar.
Despite the grand title, her early years were not typical aristocracy. She was born Margaret Lane in 1940 – her father's title was only officially recognised in 1959 - and brought up on farm in Kenya. "It was fantastic. I couldn't have had a better early upbringing," says Lady Mar, who came over to England as a teenager.
Her early working life took in farming, the Ministry of Pensions in Birmingham (she was rejected by MAFF), nursing and British Telecom.
A crossbench peer, not allied to any political Party, she was active in her first 17 years but it was when she began asking questions on OPs in 1992 she started getting noticed. At times, she was asking six a day. Not everybody liked it.
"They all thought I was barking mad. One peer asked if there was a danger of the noble Lords getting OP poisoning because of all the questions I was asking.
"But they eventually realised I had a point and I gained the respect of the House," she says.
Lady Mar, who has chaired an All-Party Parliamentary Group on OPs and worked closely with LibDem MP Paul Tyler on her campaign, is proud of what she has achieved in terms of safety improvements and raising awareness of the OP's dangers.
She highlights the skull and crossbones now on OP packaging and the requirement for users to have certificates of competence as examples.
But she is frustrated at the continuing lack of recognition and proper medical help for OP victims and the continuing lack of accountability for the problem.
The Government, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate and other advisory committees, the OP manufacturers the Health and Safety Executive., the medical profession and even the farming unions and trade bodies. They are all in her eyes, are partly to blame for the tragedy and the failure to help its victims.
Even today, nearly 18 years since Lady Mar began her campaign, the Government still refuses to admit a link between long-term, low-level OP exposure and ill health, despite extensive research on the subject.
She cites a 'misplaced' fear that admitting the link could open the floodgates to expensive legal claims as the reason why it has been so hard to uncover the truth.
"The duplicity was awful. There was a huge amount of deviousness and intellectual corruption that went on," she says.
"If only these silly people had just realised that compensation wasn't important. The Government is here first of all to protect our borders and then to protect the safety of our citizens. That's what they have neglected - partly because of fear of massive pay-out," she says.
She has never campaigned for compensation for OP victims, partly because of the proven difficulty in making individual claims stand up in court
"I have had a lot of contact with victims. I have got drawers full of letters, some of them awful, the worst being when children have been affected.
"Every single farmer who has written to me has asked how they can get recognition and treatment and how can they stop it happening to anybody else? I have never once had a letter saying 'I want a big pay-out'," she says.
Victims unaware
She accuses the medical profession of a 'complete lack of curiosity, understanding and awareness' over OP poisoning, which has left many victims unaware even today they are affected. "That recognition is so important because you realise you are not going mad," she says.
There may have been thousands of farmers affected, mostly before the early 1990s when OP dipping stopped being compulsory and safety improvements were made, many now dead, some still battling in the dark. Many have seen their lives collapse and their families broken up as a result.
"I could weep for them. I am so frustrated that I have not been able to do more for them. But it is a fight still worth fighting and I shall go on raising it at every opportunity,"says Lady Mar who was back in the Lords this week, and 'on good form'.

George Washington
George Washington is easily among the most well-known figures in American history, considered the father of the country by the sort of person who uses a phrase like that. He led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution, and was the first president.
He is the most "monumentalized" person in New York City, that is to say no one is the subject of more memorials than he is. There are seven statues of Washington in New York: a statue of him and the Marquis de Lafayette in Manhattan's Morningside Park, two statues on the arch in Washington Square, an equestrian statue in Union Square, one in Flushing Meadows/Corona Park in Queens, one in Washington Plaza in Brooklyn and the enormous figure outside Federal Hall.

In 1997, through a collaborative effort undertaken as part of Allegheny County's redesign of human services, the following vision statement was adopted:
"To create an accessible, culturally competent, integrated and comprehensive human services system that ensures individually tailored, seamless and holistic services to Allegheny County residents, in particular, the county's vulnerable populations."
In late 2012, DHS undertook the next step towards full integration by developing the DHS Practice Model. The practice model is our conceptual map and organizational ideology describing the values and principles underlying our work and informing specific approaches and techniques used to achieve desired integration outcomes. It assures consistency and coordination not only across DHS but also across the network of partnering organizations that comprise our public human service system.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, It's the damn Red Bull team up to their usual marketing stunts!
This past Sunday, five members of the Red Bull Air Force team flew over New York City in wingsuits at speeds up to 120 mph.
The daredevils jumped out of a plane at 7,500 feet and landed on a barge on the Hudson River, according to The Telegraph.
Red Bull isn't kidding when they say it gives you wings…
While some of us don't have what it takes to jump out of a plane at 7,500 feet — with the probability of smashing our heads to the ground, etc — we can travel in private jets for an affordable price without having to take a leap of faith to arrive at our destination.

Happy speaks—and writes—with a sincerity that is almost anachronistic. He commonly refers, without irony, to miracles. His sleeve bears not only his heart, but also his humor and his joy and his anger. ("That Mike Happy," his childhood friend Jim Morey puts it, "you know he means it.") Happy came of age in a time and place where Elks Clubs and Cub Scouts were the norm, and when a neighborhood was distinguished by more than just geography. He spent eight years in the Navy. Community, to him, is not a goal, but an assumption.
For Happy, writing and maintaining Going Home—which he does in addition to his full-time News beat—is equal parts personal catharsis, reportorial documentation, and moral crusade. The blog's evolving narrative starts with the writer himself. In an early post, Happy describes his emotional return to the neighborhood. His old house, he writes,
was completely gone and the lot was littered with debris—old tires, hubcaps, furniture, clothes. Of the 30 or so houses that made up our end of the block back in the 70's, about a quarter of them were gone and another quarter of them were boarded up. It looked like the scenes from New Orleans after the levies failed.
The bitterness here is apt. Witnessing the area's blight firsthand, and meeting the people who live among it, it's impossible not to feel outrage—even if it's not your childhood home. Yet outrage in isolation is impotent; and over a tumult of introductory posts rolled out in late August 2007, the blog found a narrative arc that transcends atomized emotion. Happy had two realizations: first, that there are other former residents of the City Airport area who love and miss "the old neighborhood" as much as he does; and second, that those people might be enlisted to work on the neighborhood's behalf.
He was right, and as more people discovered Going Home, it soon shifted its focus, becoming less about Happy and more about community. Happy enlisted his friend and colleague, Jonathan Morgan, the News's multiplatform editor, to write the blog with him. He met a community leader named Edith Floyd—"Captain Edith," he calls her, likening her to "a diminutive U.S. Navy captain of a half-sunken ship"—who became both a friend and someone instrumental to his work in the neighborhood. He introduced readers to other residents, many of whom had moved in right after his family had left. The process was haphazard, as many things blog-related often are, but by September 2007, narrative-building had evolved into coalition-building. Telling the neighborhood's story had become working to give that story a happier ending. Happy and Morgan had begun advocating for the neighborhood. Loudly. Passionately. And their audience—mostly suburbanites—shouted back.
Comment from: 7561milton
I wanted to add my voice of support for all the work people are doing for the old neighborhood. I joined the service and left Michigan. I recognized some of the names in the blog and just want to say "Hi" to all those working hard at Fletcher Field. Community service is a tough job to do, just want to say, hang in there.
