Travel Tips from people who've been to Hangzhou
The West Lake came from a shallow bay in ancient times where Qiantang River ran into the sea. It was formerly named as Wulin Water Golden Buffalo Lake, Qiantang Lake and Xizi Lake. As it lies in the west of Hangzhou, it was later named the West Lake.
It covers an area of 6.6KM2, the average depth being 2.27M and the deepest being 5M. It has mountain on three sides and the city on the remaining one side.The Lake and mountain are magnificent.
Centered on the West Lake Scenic Area is a national scenic area with a total area of 59KM2. Good tip? (+2) This is the West Lake of China. Shanghai can serve as a great base camp to head out from. Although, West Lake can be done in 1 long day, I recommend two days, and to stay at the IYH next to the lake. The first day can easily be filled going on the various islands and walkways. On the second day Lingyin Temple (you must buy a ticket into the park and then another into the temple complex), botanical gardens, etc. can be done. K7 from the mausoleum is the cheapest way to Lingyin Temple. Good tip? (+1) Your Best Choice must try Dragon Well Green Tea 龙井茶 (Organic Tea)

From Genealogies of
Virginia Families, Vol. II, p. 280-285.
The Douglas Register
(Richmond, 1928, p. 74)under marriages, gives the following: "Leek…& Ja.
It is the
purpose of this article to identify James Coleman who married Elizabeth Leak
(or Leake or Leek) daughter of Walter and Judith Mask Leak of Goochland County,
Douglas Register, familiarly known to all interested in family history, was
kept by Reverend William Douglas who came to St. James Northam Parish,
Goochland County, Virginia, on October 12, 1750. In September 1753 according to the "Foreword" of the book he
began keeping a record of the marriages performed by him, and it was kept from
then until "near the time of his death" in 1798. Hence, the marriage of a Leek lady to one James Coleman was among
the first performed by Douglas after he assumed the duties of minister of St.
James Northam Parish.
A branch
of the Coleman family evidently settled early in Goochland County as we find
there the will of one Samuel Coleman dated April 1, 1748 (Deed and Will Book 5,
p. 481). His wife was Ann (maiden name
unknown) as will be seen from a copy of Samuel Coleman's last will and
testament, which follows.
the name of God Amen. I, Samuel
Coleman, being very sick and weak in Body but of perfect sound mind and memory,
do make and ordain this my last will and Testament in Manner and Form
following. First, I bequeath my Soul to
God and my Body to the earth to be decently buried according to the discretion
of my Executors hereinafter named.
Item: I
give to my dear and loving wife, one young cow, I likewise lend unto my beloved
wife Ann Coleman my whole estate during her life or widowhood, and after her death
or marriage to be divided as followeth:
Item: I
give to my two sons Jas. Coleman and Saml. Coleman the land and plantation
whereon I now dwell to be equally divided in quantity between them.
Item: I
give to my other two sons Jno. Coleman and Danl. Coleman my set of Black Smiths
Tools & after my debts and funeral charges are paid and defrayed then the
residue of my estate both real and personal to be equally divided amongst all
my children.
constitute and appoint my beloved wife Ann Coleman and Jacob Oglesby my
Executors of this my last will and testament revoking all other wills
heretofore made as witness my hand and seal this first day of April in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty eight.
Test: Rob. L. Woodson
Jno. Wright Samuel
Coleman {Seal}
John {X}
At a Court held for Goochland County Septem. 20,
1748. This will was proved by the oaths
of Robt. L. Woodson, Jno. Wright and Jno. Pryor and witnesses hereto to be the
last will and testament of the said Samuel Coleman deceased which was thereupon
admitted to record.
We see from the above will than in 1748
Samuel and Ann Coleman had the following children: James, Samuel, John, and
Daniel. It is the son James Coleman
in whom we are interested. In his will
Samuel gives "to my two sons Jas. Coleman and Saml. Coleman the land and
plantation whereon I now dwell to be equally divided in quantity between
them." James Coleman evidently
lived a while in Goochland County, married Elizabeth and later lived in
Albermarle County, as on November 16, 1784, James Coleman and his wife,
Elizabeth Coleman, of Albermarle County, Virginia, made a deed to one Archer
Payne of the County of Goochland to "33r acres of land on Beaverdam Creek and
is the land whereon Samuel Coleman
dec'd. father of the said James Coleman did dwell." (Goochland County
Deed Book 14, p. 144.)
On January
31, 1788, James Coleman of Albermarle County made his will (Will Book 3, p.
323), but it was not recorded until eight years later, September 1796. His wife Elizabeth must have died in the
interim between the deed and the will as no mention is made of her in his
will. The will follows.
the name of God Amen I, James Coleman, of the County of Albermarle being weak
in body but of sound judgment and memory do constitute and appoint this my last
will and testament, in the first place I commit my soul into the hands of
Almighty God that gave it my body to the earth to be buried in a decent
Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors hereafter mentioned and
touching my worldly affairs, in the first place my desire is that all my just
debts be first paid and as touching my worldly estate I give and dispose of it
in manner following. To wit: I give and
bequeath unto my two daughters Judith Coleman and Jane Coleman two hundred and
ten acres of land so extending the plantation whereon I now live joining
Richard Woods Maureys John Baileys and John Gillums lines also all my
plantation tools to them and their heirs forever.
Item – I
give and bequeath unto my son Samuel Coleman two hundred acres of land
lying joining Benjamin Taylor Edwin Gibson, James Cumbling and John Gillum also
fifty six acres joining Col. Woods and Taylor also one hundred acres of land

Item – I
give and bequeath unto my son Samuel Coleman and Judith Coleman my bed and
furniture to be equally divided between them to them and their heirs forever.
Item – I
give and bequeath unto Mary Hatter one hundred thirty acres of land more or
less lying in Amherst on Tye river so extending the plantation on which she now
lives to her and her heirs forever.
Item – I

land being part of the tract of land whereon Bartlot Jerrol now lives on to her

Item – I

acres of land being part of the aforesaid tract of land on which the aforesaid
Jerroll lives to her and her heirs forever.
Item – I
lend unto my daughter Maskey Jerrol one hundred and forty six acres of land
enclosing the plantation whereon she now lives during her life and then to be
equally divided among all her children to them and their heirs forever.
Item – I
lend to my daughter Ann Bunnfield one hundred and forty six acres of land being
part of aforesaid tract whereon the said Jerroll now lives on to her during her
life and then to the issue of her body and to their heirs forever, and if she
is without issues then my will and desire is that their legacy should be
equally divided among all the children included in this will.
Item – I
give and bequeath unto my granddaughter Nancy Isbell one hundred acres of land
lying joining of James Reid and being part of the aforesaid tract that Jerroll
now lives on to her and her heirs forever.
Also my
desire and will is that the two entries that I have in Amherst County be sold
and the money equally divided among all the children included in this will and
farther my will and desire is that my still and blacksmith tools be sold and
the money applied to pay my debts and the money arising from the sale of my
Negroes that I sold to my son Samuel Coleman be applied to discharge my debts
then my will and desire is that it be equally divided among all the children
included in this will.
I do
hereby constitute and appoint Samuel Coleman, John Hatter and John Bunnfield my
sole executors of this my last will and testament and I do disavow and revoke all
other wills and testaments whatsoever in witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and affixed my seal this thirty first day of January in the year of our
Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight.

Later in this article,
after a review of the Leak family we will again refer to the names of these
children as additional evidence that the Elizabeth, wife of James Coleman of
Goochland and Albermarle counties, was Elizabeth, daughter of Walter Leak of
It is known that the Leak
family lived early in Goochland County, Virginia. In fact, Leakes were there in its beginning in 1727 when it was a
part of Henrico. This is well
documented in Kinfolks, by William Curry Harllee (New Orleans,
1934-1937, I, passum). Four
miles west of Goochland, in Goochland County, is the small community of "Leake"
and a cemetery containing stones bearing the name.
According to Harlee the
immigrant ancestor of the Goochland Leakes was one William Leake, who with wife
Mary Bostick, came to this country from England about 1685. They lived at "Rocky Spring," the Leake
ancestral home in Goochland County.
When Mary Bostick and William Leake came to this new country they brough
with them the family Bible, still owned by descendants, which until 1932 remained
in the "Rocky Spring" home. At that
time "Rocky Spring" was sold out of the family, and the Bible found a new abode
after reposing in the same place for approximately 247 years. Pictures of the title page and fly leaf are
given in General Harllee's book (I, 240, 241).
Mary Bostick and William
Leake had among others one Walter Leake who married Judith Mask. This fact has been brought to light not only
by General Harllee in his Kinfolks but earlier in an article in the
Richmond Times-Dispatch (February 14, 1904) and in Historical
Genealogy of the Woodsons and their Connections, by Henry Morton Woodson
(Memphis, 1915,p. 120). The will of Walter Leake is recorded in Goochland
County, Virginia (Will and Deed Book 7, p. 279), and reads as follows:
In the name of God Amen, I Walter Leak, of Goochland County make this my last will and testament (being very weak) Revoking all other wills by me formerly made, and appoint this my last, acknowledging in myself in my proper senses, I praise God for the same.
First: Desire my Body to
be buried according to the Discretion of my Executors hereafter named, without
Secondly: that my debts be
all paid when due, and as for my Temporal Estate it hath pleased God to bestow
upon me, I give as follows: Viz.
Imprimis I give and
bequeath to my son Josiah Leak part of the land whereon I now live viz, the
south side of the road beginning at Groom's line and thence up the road to the
Creek and up the Creek to Cole's Spring Branch, thence up the sd. branch to the
line, to him and his Heirs, forever.
And the said Josiah is to pay to Samuel Leak Five and Twenty Pounds
Currt. Money.
Item – I give and bequeath
to my two sons John Leak and William Leak the remainder of the aforesaid land
on the North side of the foresd. Road that is to say one of them is to have the
whole Paying the other for his part in it, and he that will give the other the
most for his part of it shall take the whole to him and His Heirs forever.
Item – I give and bequeath
unto my two sons, Mask Leak and Elisha Leak my Piece of land in Albermarle
which I bought of Paul Michaux to be equally divided between them in quantity
and quality to them and their heirs forever.
Item – I give and bequeath
to my three daughters, Mary Christian, Christine Johnston and Judith Leake
twenty pounds apiece after their Mother's decease.
Item – I lend to my
daughter Elizabeth Coleman my Negro Child Agge to wait on her and to
work for her, her lifetime and after her decease the said Agge and her increase
if she has any be Equally divided amongst the children.
Item – I lend to my loving
wife and desire that she may have the use of all of my Estate during her
lifetime or widowhood, both land, Negroes, cattle etc. and after her decease or
marriage then these legacies to be paid, and the remainder of my Estate to be
equally divided amongst all my children.
I also desire that those of my children which have not been helped
towards housekeeping with Bed, Pot and Stock etc. as the others, may be helped
with such necessaries equally to what the others have been. I also appoint my loving wife, Judith Leak
and my son Josiah Leak Executors of this my last will and Testament, desiring
my estate may not be appraised nor give security.
Whereunto I set my hand
and seal this 31st day of October Anno. Dom. 1757.

unravel their relationships. But in
this case where all known dates fit and there seem to be no conflicting
statements the picture seems complete.

I am having really annoying issues on Windows 8 (64 bit) I want to share. And if possible I would like to hear some possible fix for these errors. Any help would be great. So I upgraded my computer to Windows 8 (64 bit) recently. Everything was fine at first. Then things got worse and worse everyday. I have Nvidia G460 GTX video card fyi. I installed latest drivers, even beta ones just hoping it to fix the problem. But nothing helped. First problem I had was WoW stops responding for couple of secs, and screen goes black during this time and everything goes back normal. Sometimes this issue ends up with this error on desktop saying on right lower corner that "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered". So normally I thought this was Nvidia's driver issue. I was using normal Nvidia drivers but then decided to try beta drivers for a possible fix. But it didn't help. Then I google'd a lot about the problem I am having, all I found was nothing really. All possible fixies I found didn't change anything. I tried: - Uninstalling Nvidia drivers and using windows 8 drivers - 32 bit WoW Client - DirectX 9 - Full Screen Mode - Windowed Full Screen Mode - etc etc Nothing really fixed the problem for me. Instead, my problem got worse. Now, I am getting; -This all random Windows 8 freezes. This happens only when I run WoW. And I need to restart my computer. - Sometimes my mouse cursor goes invisible randomly. Even I exit WoW, cursor remains invisible on desktop. - Sometimes WoW keeps skipping. By that I mean, It freezes for 3-4 secs then everthing goes back to normal fps for like 1 sec then it goes freezing again, etc etc... I cant control computer during this freeze time. But I can use my keyboard for Alt+F4 during that "normal" 1 sec time to quit WoW. When I relog after Alt+F4, WoW keeps doing the same "freeze loop". My computer spec Gigabyte H55M-S2 motherboard Intel I3 3.2Ghz Nvidia N460 GTX FYI, WoW was running just fine on my previous Windows 7 (32 Bit). Never had any issues at all. Thanks for reading and for all replies. |
me too iv update to windows 8 x64 when it came out.. on 2 NVidia GeForce 9800gt 1gb sli, 8gb ram, water-cooled...
Using the lasted driver 310.70, Windows 8 x64 with all full update, and fresh full download of wow Wow seems not to be using any graphics hardware... both cards GPU's are only using 3% to 10%.. CPU is only using 50% to 60% on all fours cores.. I have tried wow on every possible combination settings with no joy.. Worked perfect on window 7 x64 I get around 15 to 35 fps average. with setting al rest on default.. (other game I have farcry 2, cyrsis all run fine so must be something do with blizzard has changed something or bad programming).

Hi I have win7 64bit and Im getting the same graphic errors, Ive installed new drivers and tried everything and it just wont help.
And also that mouse cursor missing thingy. I just have to live with it I think.
Edited by Nepera on 23/12/2012 14:08 GMT
I just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, running a nVidia GTS250, and straight away I got the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error. I upgraded to 310.70 Drivers (Clean Install), but issue was still happening. Never had a problem with WoW before upgrading, so I know its to do with the upgrade.
Using good old google, using various different search requests, I finally came across this on the US WoW forums [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7004694784]. Windows 8 uses DirectX 11, but my graphics card is not compatible with that. So, within WoW, under [System > Advanced], set [Graphics API] to [DirectX 9]. The comments also mention enabling [Triple Buffering] and I did that too. Once I had finished tinkering, I restarted WoW, and hey presto, no more errors.... least not for the last 30 minutes *does a happy dance* Hope this helps, but if not, I hope the matter can be resolved for you asap ! |
This seems to be an NVidia driver bug rather then a WoW bug. Try using the latest drivers if you haven't or to try go back a step and use some older drivers.
Try to install the graphics card drivers. I also had problems with WOW on Windows 8 and I just install new drivers to NVIDIA.

I'm on windows 7 and I'm hvaing this problem a lot too
I had this same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit and Windows 8 Pro 64-Bit.
The strangest thing is that I never had this issue at all when I was running dual Radeon HD6970 Cards. Only when I changed to dual GeForce GTX680 cards did this start happening. The screen will go black for a couple seconds and then come back as if nothing happened. I don't have the cursor issue at all, just the screen going black and coming back on. Had the screen swapped out, the graphics cards and motherboard and it wasn't any of those. It is quite intermittent and it wont happen for days and then it will happen randomly in WoW and in Windows, no matter which set of drivers I use. 310.33 seems to be the only driver that shows the issue the least. The problem also shows up whether SLI is enabled or not and whether both cards or one card are in the system. Somehow I don't believe this is a WoW issue but more an nVidia issue as I see a number of posts on their forums for the same problem. DXDiag Report for my system if it helps at all.

thats not a windows 8 problem thats a driver problem. Roll back your drivers
Just got a new laptop for christmas with Windows 8 and at the moment i'm having the exact same problems.
This isn't a rub it in post just more info to narrow down the cause,
I upgraded to windows 8 the day of release and have never had a problem with any game or game platform. In fact I saw improvements. I'm currently running an Nvidia GTX 680 with a GTX 460 as a dedicated PhysX card (for the seriously rare occasions when a game actually uses it) 12g of ram and a 3.2g i7 processor I would say its a driver problem rather then a windows 8 problem, the first time I installed the 310.70 driver it created a couple of random little problems, I rolled back and reinstalled the 310.70 driver again and it is working fine now. |
same windows 8. NVidia 9600m gt card.
Worked fine upto patch 5.2 Now I have... Random lag spikes upto 30sec freezes and just started happening I get logged in and then I cant interact but I see ingame chat fine. Perfect pings 26ms. and on a 12meg download speed. Any ideas on how to fix this |
I'm gonna buy a Dell laptop with Intel Core i7 1.9GHz, 6GB RAM, windows 8 64-bit an Radeon 8730 2GB Graphics Card. Does anyone know if this can be enough to run WOW? I don't know if i can trust windows 8 especially for WoW. I guess there will be some problems but Windows may gonna fix them with some updates...

You will be able to play WoW on that machine with ease for sure. Windows 8 is fine for WoW, I use it myself and I havn't seen any bugs or other annoyances. What is more important is if you want Windows 8, because it takes a while to get used to. |

A North Carolina woman is in trouble with the law for tattooing her 11-year-old daughter, according to a published report.
Odessa Clay, 30, of Grantsboro in Pamlico County has been charged with one count of tattooing a person under age 18, WCTI-TV reported.
In North Carolina, it's illegal to tattoo a minor.
Clay was arrested and charged in late September after police in Havelock, where she used to live, found out she gave her daughter a small, heart-shaped tattoo near her right shoulder, according to WCTI. Clay, who herself is heavily tattooed, said she used her own tools.
"She asked me to do it," Clay told WCTI.

Clay said she numbed her daughter's arm for the procedure and her daughter was never in pain.
Clay said she did not know that tattooing a minor is illegal. She told WCRI that she believes a former in-law reported the tattoo.
She is due in court next month.

PS, Was it extremely windy? |

I took my retracts off after my first couple of flights. The plane was so draggy underneath, and the landings were so hard, that I felt like they were better utilized on my P-47. I took off the stock landing gear a few weeks ago, and gave up on trying to land this on its gear. However, I think that the weight of the landing gear would not make any difference to the hand launch. Like I said, I launch this at 50% throttle. There is more than enough thrust to carry the weight of the gear.

That has been my experience as well. Trying to land on the gear on the runway has been very rough and bouncy. Very hard to do. I have only had one successful, near perfect landing. The rest have been belly landing on the grass, which has been very successful.
Lately, I've been taking off with gear down from the grass to try and save on prop damage when taking off from a gravel runway. However, even the bumpy grass has chipped the blade tips badly. That's why your hand launch has given me some hope. If I can do it like you, the retracts come off for good. They can be used to better benefit on my upcoming BD-5 build. |

Yes. I normally start flying just before sunrise...before the winds pick up (I live in a windy place). This plane has so much thrust, that it does not need a strong headwind for takeoff. Landing, however, is a different story. The stronger the headwind, the better the landing.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga overcame a sloppy third set to beat Amir Weintraub 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5 and give France a 1-0 lead over Israel in the first round of the Davis Cup on Friday.
The Frenchman seemed to be cruising until his shot-making fell apart in the third set, where he made 13 unforced errors as Weintraub broke him twice to get back into the match.
Tsonga looked increasingly nervous in the fourth set but was given several reprieves as Weintraub made numerous errors as he went for winners.
Tsonga retrieved two big forehands and earned himself match point when Weintraub missed an easy smash at the net, and closed out the victory when the Israeli returned into the net.
Later Friday, ranked Richard Gasquet looked to extend France's lead against Dudi Sela.

Lady Antebellum Lends A Hand
Popular country act holds benefit concert for high school leveled by tornado.
It was March 2nd when a powerful EF4 tornado ripped through the small southern Indiana town of Henryville.
The storm ripped apart buildings, tossed cars and claimed several lives.
With all the destruction and change, there was one high-school tradition the students were not going to give up: Prom.
Tonight the school is getting a prom gift from country music superstars Lady Antebellum.
When the band heard about how much the students in Henryville wanted to have a prom, they traveled across the country to be there, and play what they say may be their most meaningful show of the year.
The band was already hosting a contest to play at a high-school prom, a contest perfect for ravaged Henryville High.
Students submitted a YouTube video asking the band to save their prom, and it worked!
The band says it chose Henryville not only because of what they've been through, but also because of the selflessness of other schools across the country who sent videos on Henryville's behalf.
"To see other high schools talk about Henryville, we knew it was bad, but to see them jump in there it was really moving," says Charles Kelly.
While Lady Antebellum couldn't play on the school's actual prom date, the band is making up for it with a free concert tonight at the nearby Louisville Arena.
"If we can put a couple smiles on faces, raise some money for relief efforts there for rebuilding that city, then that will be the part that we can do," says Dave Haywood.
Schools from as far away as Wisconsin rallied for Henryville to win the Lady Antebellum concert, and even students from their nearby rival school sent in a video as their way to help.

After Bank of India was serving malware in August, next to the U.S Consulate in St.Petersburg two days later in September, now the Syrian Embassy in London is the latest victim of a popular malware embedding attack which took place between the 21st and 24th of September. As obfuscating the IFRAMEs in order to make it harder for a security researcher to conduct CYBERINT is about to become a commodity with the feature implemented within the now commoditized malware kits, it's interesting to note that in this particular attack the attackers took advantage of different javascript obfuscations, and that once control of the domain was obtained, scam pages were uploaded on the embassy's server. The embassy had recently removed the malicious IFRAMEs, but the third one remains active acting as a counter for the malicious campaign.

Egypt court rejects bid to ban Bassem Youssef TV show
A court in Egypt has rejected a lawsuit calling for a ban on the TV programme of popular satirist Bassem Youssef.
The court said the Muslim Brotherhood lawyer who filed the suit, which also demanded the channel lose its licence, did not have an interest in the case.
Mr Youssef has been questioned over allegations of insulting President Mohammed Morsi and Islam, raising concerns about freedom of speech.
His weekly show went out again on Friday, poking fun at his situation.
The chief lawyer for the ruling Muslim Brotherhood, Abdel-Moneim Maqsoud, told the Associated Press news agency that the lawyer who brought the lawsuit, Mahmoud Abul-Enein, had acted individually and not for the organisation.
'Corrupted morals'El Bernameg's return
In his first show since his release, Bassem Youssef refused to tone down his satirising sketches.
In Friday's edition of El-Bernameg (The Programme) he continued to poke fun at the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, as well as the public prosecutor he appointed last year and who was responsible for issuing Mr Youssef's arrest warrant.
Later he was joined by former opposition presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi, and joked about his own plans to run for president, and how he would need to copy Mr Sabahi's hairstyle.
"The hair makes a difference," he said.
He was greeted with applause from the studio audience.
But he also used his increased global exposure to highlight the cases of other activists arrested for allegedly inciting hatred against the Muslim Brotherhood, displaying their pictures and names on screen.
Mr Youssef has faced several complaints over his show El-Bernameg (The Programme), which satirises many public figures.
In some sketches, he has portrayed Mr Morsi as a pharaoh, calling him "Super Morsi" for holding on to executive and legislative powers.
The satirist was questioned by prosecutors on 31 March and released on bail pending further investigation into allegations of insulting the president, Islam and "spreading false news with the aim of disrupting public order".
The president's office insists it is not involved in the legal case.
Mr Abul-Enein had argued that the show "corrupted morals" and violated "religious principles" and that the private satellite TV channel that broadcast it, the Capital Broadcasting Center (CBC), should have its licence suspended.
Mr Youssef is a doctor who shot to fame with his witty lampooning of public figures in amateur videos posted on the internet following the uprising that ended Hosni Mubarak's rule in February 2011.
He became a household name when his satirical show - likened to Jon Stewart's The Daily Show in the US - began to be broadcast on CBC.
Mr Youssef's show aired again on Friday.
He joked that he would not talk about Mr Morsi, only the attorney general.

I'm a Man (Bo Diddley song)
"I'm a Man" | |
"I'm a Man" cover
B-side to "Bo Diddley" by Bo Diddley | |
Released | April 1955[1] |
Recorded | March 2, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois[2] |
Genre | Rhythm and blues, rock and roll |
Length | 2:59 |
Label | Checker (Cat. no. 814) |
Writer | Ellas McDaniel aka Bo Diddley |
Producer | Leonard Chess, Phil Chess, Bo Diddley[2] |
"I'm a Man" is a rock and roll song written and recorded by Bo Diddley in 1955.[3][4] A moderately slow blues with a stop-time figure, it was inspired by an earlier blues song and became a number one U.S. R&B chart hit. "I'm a Man" has been recorded by a variety of artists, including The Yardbirds who had a number seventeen pop hit in the U.S. in 1965.
Bo Diddley song[edit]
"I'm a Man" was released as the B-side of "Bo Diddley", his first single in April 1955.[5] The single became a two-sided hit and reached number 1 in the Billboard R&B chart. "I'm a Man" was inspired by Muddy Waters' 1954 song "Hoochie Coochie Man", written by Willie Dixon.[6] After Diddley's release, Waters recorded an "answer song" to "I'm a Man" in May 1955, titled "Mannish Boy",[6] a play on words on Bo Diddley's younger age as it related to the primary theme of the song.
Backing Diddley (vocals and guitar) are Billy Boy Arnold (harmonica), Otis Spann (piano), Jerome Green (maracas), Willie Dixon (double bass), and either Frank Kirkland or Clifton James (drums).[2] In a Rolling Stone magazine interview, Bo Diddley recounts that the song took a long time to record because of confusion regarding the timing of the "M...A...N" part.[7] The song is included on several of his compilation albums, including Bo Diddley (1958) and His Best (1997). He also recorded it with Muddy Waters and Little Walter for the 1967 Super Blues album.

English rock band The Yardbirds recorded a live version of "I'm a Man" for their first UK album Five Live Yardbirds with Eric Clapton in 1964 (later released in the U.S. on the Having a Rave Up album). In 1965 during their first American tour, The Yardbirds, with Jeff Beck recorded a studio version of "I'm a Man". Their versions feature their signature "rave-up" arrangement, when the beat shifts into double time and the instrumentation builds to a crescendo. Beck added a "scratch-picking"[8] technique to produce a percussive effect during the song's instrumental section, which "provides the climax on the studio version of "I'm a Man", perhaps the most famous Yardbirds rave-up of all".[9]
Recording took place at the Chess Studios in Chicago, with additional recording at the Columbia Studios in New York. It was released as single and later included on their 1965 Epic Records album Having a Rave Up. The Yardbirds' version (with "Still I'm Sad" as its B-side, released by Epic Records in the U.S.) peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965.[10] The song was later released in the UK in 1976. Diddley praised their cover as "beautiful"[11] and it has been called "a defining moment for the band".[9]
In addition to the 1964 live version with Clapton, other live versions include those with Jeff Beck (1965 Yardbirds ...On Air, released 1991) and Jimmy Page (1968 Live Yardbirds: Featuring Jimmy Page, released 1971).
Other versions[edit]
Numerous artists have recorded "I'm a Man" over the years. The Royal Guardsmen (from the 1967 album Return of the Red Baron) recorded it, as well as The Litter (1967 single and Distortions). The Who recorded the song for their debut album My Generation, though it was not included on the US version of the album. A live recording of "I'm a Man" was the B-side of Dr. Feelgood's 1975 single, "Back in the Night", and appeared on their chart-topping 1976 live album, Stupidity. Grunge band Dickless ended their short and loud live performances with the song.[12] It was also on Dickless first record single on Sub Pop Records.[13] Doug Sahm performed the song in a San Francisco nightclub scene in the 1979 film More American Graffiti. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers performed the Yardbirds' arrangement of the song throughout their 2006 North American "Highway Companion" and 2012 North American tours. A version from the 2006 tour was featured on the 2009 The Live Anthology album.
In 2008, a schaffel beat version by Black Strobe was included in the film and soundtrack album for Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla. This version of the song was used also in the third season of the Norwegian reality television program Paradise Hotel and seventh season of the Danish Paradise Hotel and later again in Paradise Hotel Reunion. Also in 2008, an untitled rock variation of the song was featured in the trailer for the two-part French film, Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One. It is commonly mistaken for the version of the song performed by Black Strobe, the difference being that the words "I'm a Man" are replaced with "Highwayman" in the trailer version.
Bo Diddley's original "I'm a Man" is ranked number 369 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In 2012, the song along with the self-named A-side song "Bo Diddley" was added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry list of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" American sound recordings.[14]

It's been another long and arduous offseason, spent monitoring news about free agents, injury rehabs and other baseball-related topics. After a month (or more) of drafting teams, the curtain has finally risen on the 2011 season! With only six games on the schedule for Day 1, the rotosphere is sure to over-analyze every at-bat and pitch. Well, let's indulge in the first day of real baseball this year.
Atlanta 2, Washington 0
And that's why Derek Lowe was a top-10 SP heading into the season. What? He's available in over 50 percent of Yahoo leagues? That's preposterous! Didn't anyone see how effective he was against the prolific Nationals offense? I mean, they signed Jayson Werth this offseason! Why are we shouting? I don't know!
As Rotoworld noted, the stage was set for Craig Kimbrel to enter the eighth inning and face the top of the Washington lineup, which included three right-handers coming up to bat. Instead, Johnny Venters came on in the eighth while Kimbrel closed out the game in the ninth. Co-closers my rear end … mark Kimbrel down for 40 saves this year.
If only the Braves could convince Jason Heyward (HR in first at-bat) that every day is Opening Day. Still, you have to love the second-year player's potential this season, especially if he isn't nagged by a mid-season injury just when he starts to hit his stride. I somehow nabbed him with the sixth pick of my main draft, which features five rounds of keepers at the top. Players selected ahead of Heyward: Ian Kinsler, Jose Bautista, Adam Dunn, Ubaldo Jimenez and Brian McCann. Thanks for leaving me a surefire keeper for the next 10 years, guys.
New York (A) 6, Detroit 3
Someone forgot to tell Mark Teixeira that he's terrible before May 1. Dude went yard off Justin Verlander with two men on in the third inning, staking the Yankees to a 3-1 lead. Teixeira was just 1-for-17 against Verlander coming into 2011, and that one hit didn't go nearly as far as Thursday's bomb.
I had to make a decision on Curtis Granderson before I saw the lineups on Thursday, so I decided to play it safe and sit the ailing Yankee. One solo job later, I'm hating myself even more for taking a goose egg from Mike Morse on Thursday. You're in my lineup on Saturday, Grandy; be sure to find your way onto Joe Girardi's lineup card as well.
Russell Martin may be hitting ninth, but that doesn't mean he can't pile up runs and RBIs in such a stacked lineup. Kudos to anyone who grabbed Martin off the late-round scrap heap heading into the season, as the new Yankee backstop rewarded owners with a hit, a stolen base and two runs. Remember, Martin had double-digit steal totals in his first four seasons before last year's forgettable performance — he's a sneaky option while supplies last.
One last Yankee note (because really, who wants to talk about the Tigers?): Rafael Soriano pitched a perfect eighth for a hold before Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect ninth for a save. Why do I have the feeling that's going to happen a lot this season?
Cincinnati 7, Milwaukee 6
As far as not-pretend baseball goes, this was as good as a non-Brewer fan could have hoped for an Opening Day game. The drama was capped off with a Ramon Hernandez three-run bomb (his fourth hit of the night) to seal the come-from-behind victory for Cincinnati. Standard league owners shouldn't rush to the wire, as Hernandez should lose plenty of at-bats to sneaky-good option Ryan Hanigan throughout the season.
Rickie Weeks and Carlos Gomez delivered back-to-back jacks to open the Brewers' season. Everyone knows how good Weeks can be when he's healthy, but if you own him you're definitely playing with fire the longer you wait to trade him. Gomez had just five HRs last season, but one came on Opening Day. He's caught J-Hey fever! Having also stolen a base, Gomez filled up the stat sheet on Day 1, keeping Nyjer Morgan at bay — for now.
Drew Stubbs hit leadoff for the Reds despite owning a pretty ugly OBP, but the strategy worked on Thursday, as the power/speed star went 2-for-5 with a homer in the fourth inning. He could easily take Grady Sizemore's spot as fantasy's 30-30 darling that kills your average.
A couple of first-round picks also contributed HRs, but we already know how good Joey Votto and Ryan Braun are.
The big loser in this game was John Axford, who coughed up four runs in 0.2 innings, blowing his first save opportunity of the season. Axford was good enough last season that one poor outing won't lead to a role change, but his short track record leads me to believe he doesn't have as much rope as most closers.
Los Angeles (A) 4, Kansas City 2
Jered Weaver looked incredible in his start on Thursday, allowing just two hits and two walks in 6.1 innings while punching out six Royals. A family effort by the Angels bullpen included a one-up, one-down performance from rookie Jordan Walden. While Fernando Rodney got the job done in the ninth inning this time, it certainly wasn't pretty. Walden should be squarely on your fantasy radar, and possibly on your team depending on league size.
True story: the guy that does the Game of the Week preview in our Hit and Run Baseball League took a jab at Torii Hunter (and my lineup by association) before game-time, saying "I've just never been a Hunter guy, and therefore he probably doesn't get the respect he deserves in this review." Respect the Hunter after a 2-for-5 performance that included a solo smash.
Fantasy afterthought Jeff Mathis recorded a double and a homer on Opening Day, which was roughly 7,000 percent better than any portion of his 2010 season. Here's how irrelevant Mr. Mathis is — type "Mathis" into Google and you don't come to a "Jeff" entry before the third page. His Baseball Reference page ranks just behind the website for Marty Mathis Clothiers. Let's fix that, shall we?
Alex Gordon was on fire this spring, showcasing the God-given talent that made him an super-prospect, nay, an uber-prospect coming out of college. It looked like 2011 would finally be the year Gordon made his predicted ascension into the annals of fantasy baseball lore. Until he came out on Opening Day with a three-K effort that would have made Clayton Bigsby proud. Alex, I think it's time we see other people.
San Diego 5, St. Louis 3
It took 11 innings and a couple two-hit days from little-owned Cameron Maybin and Nick Hundley, but the Padres came into St. Louis and shocked the Cardinals in the first game of the season. Maybin smacked a home run off Ryan Franklin in the ninth to send the game into extra frames, and the former top prospect is an intriguing option in deeper leagues since he appears to benefit from regular playing time.
My favorite sleeper pitcher of the season held his own on Opening Day, as Tim Stauffer allowed nine hits over six innings but only let two earned runs cross the plate. They'll be better days ahead for Stauffer, especially when he's at home taking on a mediocre offense. I think he'll be good for 14 wins and a sub-3.50 ERA this year.
While Prince Albert decided to take a preemptive day off by going 0-for-5, Matt Holliday brought his A-game, going 3-for-4 with a homer and a couple RBIs. He was one of the safest options in the second round of drafts, and it's almost impossible to overrate safety when navigating the early stages of a fantasy baseball draft. Holliday even tried to chip in a steal for fantasy owners but got caught. Thanks for the thought, Matt.
What's worse that having Brad Hawpe hit cleanup for your favorite Major League club? Seeing Orlando Hudson in the three-hole. Yes, a team featuring Hudson and Hawpe in the prime lineup spots just beat a team led by Pujols and Holliday on Opening Day. Don't even try and wrap your head around it; it's baseball.
Los Angeles (N) 2, San Francisco 1
We were treated to a phenomenal pitching matchup on primetime of Opening Day as Tim Lincecum faced Clayton Kershaw. Neither pitcher failed to live up to his billing, as the two combined to pitch 14 innings without allowing an earned run. Lincecum owners may complain that their ace only provided five punch-outs, and Lincecum owners can drop the guy if they want to be whiners.
Matt Kemp looked right at home batting cleanup, as he reached base in all four of his plate appearances, walking three times and adding a single for good measure. The terrific rebound candidate also came through with two runs and a stolen base. Here's to hoping Don Mattingly can take a page out of Joe Torre's book, burn it, and completely forget how Torre yanked Kemp around last season.
Rookie Brandon Belt was a surprise addition to the Giants Opening Day roster, earning the starting first baseman job and shifting Aubrey Huff into right field, where Huff promptly made it seem he belonged on my Wednesday co-ed softball team instead of the Giants.

Directors should heed High Court decision
PUBLISHED: 04 May 2012 00:46:53 | UPDATED: 04 May 2012 03:56:03PUBLISHED: 04 May 2012 PRINT EDITION: 04 May 2012The Australian Financial Review
The High Court's decision in the long-running James Hardie case has underlined the basic point, if any further emphasis was needed, that non-executive directors are not there just to make up the numbers around the board table. As the Institute of Company Directors stated yesterday, the decision emphasised the need for board members to apply their "individual, considered judgment" to significant matters.
One such matter arose for James Hardie in early 2001 when its response to a series of claims related to exposure to asbestos that it sold was to shift the liability of the claims to a trust, called the Medical Research and Compensation Foundation, to which it gave $297 million. James Hardie then issued a statement, approved by the board, that stated that the trust for asbestosis victims was fully funded. But it was later found to have a $1.3 billion shortfall.
James Hardie directors not only failed to test the expert opinion of actuaries, or fix the matter when it quickly became apparent that the original estimates of claims were wrong, they then tried to argue that the board minutes of the relevant meeting were incorrect. The NSW Supreme Court originally found plenty of evidence that the minutes of the meeting approving the draft statement were right.
But the Court of Appeal allowed the non-executive directors to appeal, as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's failure to call one witness had breached a "duty of fairness". The High Court decided there was no reason for the Appeal Court to overlook the other evidence presented, or to suppose James Hardie solicitor David Robb would have contradicted it. But ASIC deserves censure for failing to ensure its case was watertight. Once the NSW Court of Appeal has ruled on penalties, this unacceptably drawn-out legal battle should end.
The High Court ruling that the directors breached their duties means that directors must ensure they have taken the steps necessary to test the expert advice they are offered before making decisions or issuing company statements. But there is a danger of over-regulation. This case will act as a red light to many directors who are already under a mounting pile of legal requirements and exposure to liability from onerous regulation such as occupational health and safety laws.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
John Pangnark (1920 – 1980) (1)
"He was the Brancusi of the North, with a rare feeling for abstraction." (2)
An important Canadian Inuit (Eskimo) sculptor and carver, John Pangnark was born in Windy Lake, Keewatin (now Nunavut) and died in Rankin Inlet, Keewatin (now Nunavut) [about 350 miles north-east of Windy lake]. His life and work are discussed in most books on Inuit art. His carvings have been included in numerous landmark exhibitions, and they're prized acquisitions in prominent public and private collections. (3)
His primary medium was stone. His subjects were faces, heads, and figures. His styles were Modernism* and Minimalism*. His typical work is semi abstract with abbreviated bodies and suggested facial features; the AskART images are excellent illustrations of it. (4)
Pangnark was largely self-educated as an artist. He was a nomadic hunter for most of his life, but settled in Arviat, Keewatin (now Nunavut) [about 200 miles south of Rankin Inlet, both are on the western shore of Hudson Bay] in 1958 due to a famine in the region. 'He began carving in the early 1960s and quickly gained National attention. In 1970, he was one of four Inuit invited to demonstrate their carving at the World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. That same year his sculptures were featured alongside Jessie Oonark's textiles in a two-person exhibition presented by the National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of Civilization), Ottawa.' (5)(6)
Since the mid 1960s Pangnark's works have been included in numerous important group exhibitions such as "Eskimo Sculpture: Selections from the Twomey Collection", Winnipeg Art Gallery*, Manitoba (1967); "Sculpture of the Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic"*, British Museum, London, et al. [see glossary] (1971); "Cultures of the Sun and Snow: Indian and Eskimo Art of the Americas", Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Quebec and touring (1973); "The Mulders' Collection of Eskimo Sculpture", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (1976); "The Zazelenchuk Collection of Eskimo Art", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (1978); "The Coming and Going of the Shaman: Eskimo Shamanism and Art", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (1978); "Sculpture of the Inuit: Lorne Balshine Collection/Lou Osipov Collection/ Dr. Harry Winrob Collection", Surrey Art Gallery, B.C. (1979); "Inuit Art: A Selection of Inuit Art from the Collection of the National Museum of Man, Ottawa, and the Rothmans Permanent Collection of Inuit Sculpture, Canada", National Museum of Man, Ottawa, and touring (1981); "The Jacqui and Morris Shumiatcher Collection of Inuit Art", Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina (1981); "Eskimo Point / Arviat", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (1982); "Stones, Bones, Cloth, and Paper: Inuit Art in Edmonton Collections", Edmonton Art Gallery, Alberta (1984); "Uumajut: Animal Imagery in Inuit Art", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (1985); "Pure Vision: The Keewatin Spirit", MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Saskatchewan (1986); "The Williamson Collection of Inuit Sculpture", Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Saskatchewan (1987); "In the Shadow of the Sun: Contemporary Indian and Inuit Art in Canada", Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau, Quebec and touring (1988 – 1989); "The Stone Sculpture of Arviat", McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario (1989); "Arctic Mirror", Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau, Quebec (1990); "Carving and Identity: Inuit Sculpture", National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (1999); "Iqqaipaa: Celebrating Inuit Art, 1948 – 1970", Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau, Quebec (1999); "The Jerry Twomey Collection at the Winnipeg Art Gallery: Inuit Sculpture from the Canadian Arctic", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (2003 – 2004); "Arctic Spirit: Inuit Art from the Albrecht Collection at the Heard Museum", Heard Museum, Phoenix and touring (the USA 2006 – 2011); and "Sanattiaqsimajut: Inuit Art from the Carleton University Art Gallery Collection", Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa (2009).
Recently, his works were included in "Inuit Modern: The Samuel and Esther Sarick Collection", at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2011); and currently they're in "Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art", Winnipeg Art Gallery, Manitoba (January 25, 2013 to April 14, 2013).
His works have also been included in solo and group exhibitions at prominent commercial galleries, such as Lippel Gallery, Montreal; The Inuit Gallery of Eskimo Art, Toronto, Ontario; Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, B.C.; Marion Scott Gallery, Vancouver, B.C.; Arctic Artistry, Scarsdale, New York; and The Arctic Circle, Los Angeles, California.
Pangnark's carvings are in numerous important private collections (see exhibitions above and sources below) and museum collections. According to the Canadian Heritage Information Network*, and individual museum websites, his works are in the permanent collections of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (Kingston, Ontario), Art Gallery of Alberta (Edmonton), Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Canadian Museum of Civilization (Gatineau, Quebec), Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa, Ontario), Heard Museum (Phoenix, Arizona), Mackenzie Art Gallery (Regina, Saskatchewan), McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinburg, Ontario), Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Quebec), Museum of Anthropology (University of British Columbia, Vancouver), Winnipeg Art Gallery* (Manitoba) and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa).
(1) Please note: The Canadian Heritage Information Network* and Katilvik.com list several alternate names for this artist; they are: Elijah Pangnark, Pangnerk, Pangnik, Parngnark, and Parngwark. Combinations of two of these names may also be used without the first names John or Elijah. There is also his Canadian government issued Inuit Disc Number* – E1104 –, which could be used to sign works, and his signature in syllabics*, which has been used to sign works.

(4) Several artists in the District of Keewatin had a modernist/minimalist style; John Pangnark was one of the first and most distinguished. Three other important early Keewatin modernists, who are frequently included in discussions of Pangnark, are John Kavik, John Tiktak and George Arluk; they all have substantial AskART records with numerous illustrations of their work.
(5) Quote source: Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art*.
(6) "Contemporary Inuit sculpture produced for the art market began in the 1950's in response to a very successful sale, by the Canadian Handicraft Guild in Montreal in 1949, of pieces collected by James A. Houston [see AskART] on the east coast of Hudson Bay. The Inuit co-operatives developed by 1959 and a central marketing agency was established in 1965. Carving continues to be a major source of income in the Eastern Canadian Arctic, an area which has undergone major social and economic changes, especially since World War II. There has been a steady growth in permanent settlements during the last half of this century, which has made large scale carving in stone feasible. Traditionally, carving materials were mainly bone, antler, and ivory, because of their light weight, strength, and durability. Heavier and more fragile stone was used primarily for lamps and cooking vessels. Although Inuit sculpture is often referred to as 'soapstone' sculpture, in fact, less than half of the stone used is soapstone (a high-grade talc or steatite). Other stones commonly used include serpentine, olivine, periodite, chrysolite, and others. In the early years of the industry it was possible to identify where a carving came from by the specific type of stone used, however, in recent years stone is traded on a wider, regional basis. Whale bone, antler, walrus tusk ivory, and a variety of other materials are also used by Inuit carvers. Themes in Inuit sculpture are based on personal experiences and beliefs; derive from oral traditions, mythology, as well as from narrative and figurative themes depicting arctic fauna and scenes of traditional Inuit life. Regional, community, and individual styles are also apparent." Source: Museum of Anthropology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C.

The aim of the Campaign is to achieve an English Parliament and Executive with powers at least equivalent to those powers devolved to Scotland.The Campaign for an English Parliament seeks the creation of an English parliament and Executive based on the Scottish model, with power devolved to them from the UK parliament. The proposed constitutional arrangements will need the approval of the people of England.
To provide a full answer to the constitutional problems and provide a fairer system of devolved government for all parts of the United Kingdom, it would also be necessary to upgrade the Welsh Assembly to become a Welsh Parliament with similar devolved powers. However, that is a matter for the people of Wales and it is not therefore a specific aim of the Campaign for an English Parliament.
As well as solving the current constitutional problems, an English Parliament would:
- Strengthen democratic control and make government more accountable to the people of England.
- Enable the people of England to express their own priorities and direct spending to where it is most needed.
- Better enable the people of England to pursue policies, which help preserve England's identity and improve its environment.
- Give England a voice (similar to that of Scotland) in the European Union.
- Provide a partial realisation of the right to self-government to which the people of all countries aspire.
