Faux Penman Sapphire #9
Posted 28 April 2014 - 06:32
I'm going to try the sapphire blue mixing to see how this compares to my samples.
Posted 28 April 2014 - 07:00
When was your purchase?
The trouble I find is that I'm just not convinced that most of the ink in bottles being sold as PPS are actually genuine. The bottle I bought last year is no where near the original that I myself bought in around 1997. It would be very easy for me to decant the contents of the bottle and fill it up with PR electric blue or Diamine Majestic blue and sell it on for £50 or something. It's just too much of an economic temptation.
I heard an interview by Brian Goulet of Nathan Tardiff, of Noodler's fame, and he spoke of just this problem when trying this replication.
Sorry to ruin the fun guys, but we need to know that what we're actually using as a benchmark is verified as original, and seems like many comparisons are just chasing a mirage...
That's a depressing thought, and I don't know how proof of originality could be provided. However, I know for certain that the PP Emerald that I'm selling in the Classifieds is definitely legit
Posted 28 April 2014 - 19:37
Here is a shot from the comparison that I made a few months ago. This is just one shot, but I also made detailed comparisons, starting with majestic blue and sequentially adding 1ml of PR electric blue to the mixtures, and in a separate test, also adding deep dark blue. The test was conducted with an M800 with an IB nib, to best bring out the sheen. The supposedly genuine recent purchase was just so very different, that I had to smell a rat in there somewhere.
PR electric blue is really really close to the original. i think Private reserve also developed this quite a number of years ago, when i feel more of the genuine stuff was actually around to mimic. As the years have gone on though, I think that the actual colour of "the stuff" that is being replicated is also evolving. Just my thoughts..

Absolutely No Resemblance to Parker Penman Sapphire!
I commend your efforts for trying, I'm just not convinced that what you're copying is the genuine article. PPS was super saturated. I mean more than anything else I've ever encountered. Love it or hate it, all sentiments were the result if this feature of that ink. This mix is washed out and no sheen at all. I tried with a Pel M800 IB nib.
Posted 29 April 2014 - 23:10
As I said, I have three different samples of PPS.
They are from three different, independent vendors, all NOS, sealed, and from three different countries.
All three are identical with each other, in both packaging and ink properties, and I bought them before the current price rise, at a time when there was no incentive to fake PPS.
To get three different fakes, from different countries, that were identical in both packaging and ink properties seems less probable than that I have three different, genuine lots of Parker Penman Sapphire.

I'm curious as to why my mix had absolutely no resemblance to my bottle of PPS. It wasn't even remotely close...

Sach, how about pics for comparison purposes?

Sach, how about pics for comparison purposes?
Good idea.
Posted 30 April 2014 - 03:13
As far as your variation, perhaps it's a variation in the ingredient ink. If we think about it, we are working to adjust the pigment mix of a given ink to match that of PPS. If one of the components is off, the final product will be off.
Posted 30 April 2014 - 06:55
Sach, how about pics for comparison purposes?
If you look a few posts up, I've put up a picture of my bottle of PPS from 1997, together with the new bottle that I purchased last year. I'll show these next to the mix from this topic. I used a syringe me measure all quantities, and used an IB nib in an M800 for the original comparison, as broader nibs would demonstrate sheen far better.
I'll show how this mix compares next to the original . I'm still not convinced about this triangulation idea. Let's face it, if you're online looking for an ink that was discontinued twelve years ago, it says something about your level of interest in fountain pens. If you're selling a bottle of PPS for $60 or something then you too clearly know something about ink and it's demand.
If you look over the last ten years or so, there have been inks that have developed as PPS replicas. Initially it was PR DC super show blue, then PR electric blue with its better sheen, and more recently Diamine majestic blue. If five years ago I wanted to deceive someone, I'd have done it with DC super show, few years later it would have been electric blurb, and more recently it would have been majestic blue. So the fact that bottles bought at around the same time on ebay appearing similar should be obvious.
PPS, PR electric blue and diamine majestic blue are most similar to each other. I'm sure that the new bottle that I bought last year is filled with DC super show blue, from my own comparisons.
Posted 01 May 2014 - 03:19
I applaud DC and you as you are working to create a suitable substitute for PPS. Good science consists of disagreements such as these. I am curious to kmow what formula you use, if any, to recreate PPS.
Posted 19 June 2014 - 06:36
my DC SuperShow Blue does not match the sample on Sach's pix. In fact I was quite disappointed when I tested it. Mine is lighter/more washed out in color, not the rich color that is on your scan. In looking at your pix, I think my pen (Lamy joy with 1.1 nib) is not as wet as your pen, so I am not getting as much ink onto the paper. I may have to widen the slit in the nib to make the pen a bit more wet.
DC's scan is lighter in color than Sach's scan.
Assuming the scans are somewhat correct. (But remember ass-u-me)
Based on my experience, he may indeed have the genuine Penman Saphire ink, but if his pen is dryer, then ink line he is matching to is lighter.
So the reference point for color matching is different.
Will the ink darken to the same degree when put into a more wet pen? Can't tell until it is tested and compared.
Posted 21 June 2014 - 00:33
I made up a small batch of the ink, but without any water, for test 1.
I tested with a F nib fountain pen nib in a dip pen holder and the ink was much darker than DCs ink. Close to your Sach's '97 Penman sample. But it is hard to compare the color of my F nib ink like with Sach's wide ink line.
I am going to look for an italic nib to see what a wider ink like looks like.
Then I will try again with water mixed into the ink.

Posted 25 June 2014 - 02:55
Here is my test.
I mixed the inks, but without water, to get the darkest ink color.
As you can see the ink color varies by the pen I used. The darkest ink is from a Goulet #6 F nib in my dip pen holder. The Lamy F and 1.1 nibs are lighter than the Goulet nib.
I also put a sample of Private Reserve, DC SuperShow Blue at the bottom for comparison. Unfortunately, the scanner altered the color. The DCSS blue is more blue than purple. So my scanner is not color neutral.
I tried to adjust the image so the image on MY screen looks like the ink on the paper.
It is close, but not accurate.
However, you can see the relative differences between the pens and the inks.

This is a recipe that I will keep for use in the future. Merci.
I use a RIM PlayBook and a fountain pen.

What is a good recommendation to store 200ml of ink in? Thanks.

Oooh I'll have to try this ... need to order the Majestic Blue first though.
I was curious : why so much water? Are Diamine inks considered that saturated?

The Majestic Blue is quite a dark blue. I just added water until it looked right.
That also had the advantage of improving the dry time, smearing and bleeding properties of the Diamine ink to something very close to the original PPS.
Don't forget you really only need to order a 30ml bottle of the Diamine inks.
Edited by dcwaites, 18 September 2014 - 00:15.
Posted 25 September 2014 - 23:20
I ordered the 30ml bottles...plenty of ink there to experiement with.
I have just tried your recipe. I don't know if it replicates the original PPS as I don't have any to compare, but I do like the new colour.
I think this is going to be my "go to" blue for a while.
Thanks for introducing this to us. Cheers.

The last post from dcwaites is more like the shade of PPS that I have in my last cartridge, than the one above it from katerchen

Yeah, my scanner tends to wash out colors. It's darker than that in person. I need to tweak the exposure ... I just left everything on auto. Works wonders on photos, not as accurate on documents.
(I did follow his instructions to the letter though)

So, inspired by my attempts earlier today with diluting Diamine Majestic Blue, I decided to see if I could make a version with the correct colour.
And so -- behold Faux Penman Sapphire #9
Diamine Majestic Blue ..... 4 Parts
Diamine Sapphire Blue .... 3 Parts
Water ............................... 8 Parts
Depending on your particular pen and paper, you may wish to add more or less water to get a pleasing depth of colour. This particular batch works very will with fine nibbed pens, you may want to wind the water back a bit if you are using a medium or broad nib, or more absorbent paper.
I have attached some scans
The third scan shows the degree of bleeding, which again, is the same on this paper.
The second and third were done on old stock Reflex paper, which is a marginal paper for feathering and bleeding. On better paper, neither ink feathers or bleeds.
Other Properties --
- Spreading. There was no noticeable spreading with either ink.
- Dry Time. Both inks dry within seconds on most paper. Using fine nibbed pens on Clairefontaine I got 3 seconds dry time for each ink. Less on more absorbent papers. Of course, if you are going to use a broad nibbed firehose, dry times will be longer.
- Red Sheen. Both inks will show a degree of red sheen when concentrated, or used in a wet pen.
So, as far as I can tell, I have been able to make an effective duplicate of Parker Penman Sapphire, in colour, appearance and behaviour.
The Quest stops here.
These scans differ from several others that lean toward teal or turquoise, both in the original PPS and the faux PPS. I have only a distant memory of PPS, but I remember not liking it much when it came out because of that teal or turquoise cast. Is my memory faulty, or are these scans off?
Sine arte, scientia nihil est.

The idea of the comparative scan was not to give you an absolute idea of the colour (impossible unless we all have colour calibrated scanners and monitors) but to compare them to each other. So, whether you see it as a greeny-blue, a bluey-blue or a purply-blue, the blend looks almost identical with the original. For this reason I used the same pen/nib/paper combination for both samples.
I tend to run my nibs a little on the dry side, others prefer a wetter nib. Each to their own. The whole idea of the blend was to give users a fair facsimile of the original, both in colour and behaviour on the paper.

The Lovers
Angela was having a moment.
"I love you"
that's what it came down to. He loved her. He had never said it like that, he had said: "I like you" he had said "I'm falling for you..." followed by "Just kidding" he had said "You're amazing." The words seemed to click into place in her head
well of course
it was so simple- he loved her, she loved him
they in fact loved each other
they had loved each other since the beginning obviously... Somehow the words, the phrase "I love you" had shifted into focus what she had not seen before. A tear slid down her cheek
-But that is not starting at the beginning.
It would be when they started falling for each other; however the truth of the matter is that Angela couldn't remember how that had happened. They had just always been. Been what? Floating in limbo between friend and something else, something which had always lay between them undefined; a taunting idea, the promise of something so much better.
She wanted to believe him, all wrapped up in his embrace it felt solid, tangible. But there was still Warner.
She had hired Adam to work for her at the pet store. That's how they had met. At least she knew that much. He had walked in all confident, like he was on some sort of mission and asked for an application. She felt dizzy and dumb around him like she couldn't put together a full sentence. When he looked at her and smiled it seemed to her as if he were laughing at her, or maybe with her, as if they were sharing some great cosmic inside joke. And against her better judgment, she hired him, out of all the other applicants who had experience and availability she hired him. Adam.
She noticed on the first day that they worked together that he was giving her that look that her ex boyfriend used to give her while simultaneously saying "You make me melt Angela" or "You make me feel all melty" it was a look that seemed to say 'I'm falling for you'. The second time they worked together as she showed him how to make the schedules for the other employees he brushed his arm up against hers as if it had been an accident and she let her arm stay touching his as if she didn't notice. She recognized the wrongness of it. Flirting with her employee. She was married after-all, however
it seemed a wonderful escape to her. She was able to justify it in her head as enjoying a harmless flirtation.
It was the day one of the kittens died that things really got complicated. It had been her favorite one, with a little white on its chin and nose. The mother cat had bit it, hard. Not recognizing its scent. When Adam had come in that day she was holding the dying kitten to herself petting it. The life almost gone and by the time he had settled into work it was dead. She stared at it mutely he took it from her, told her to get a glass of water from the sink in the backroom. She did it silently, holding back her wavy blonde hair with one hand as she bent at the waist to drink directly from the faucet. Not for the first time she felt completely validated in hiring Adam. She felt thankful that he was taking care of the kitten. She felt her lip-mic tug as she wiped her mouth with her sleeve, it made her realize she didn't have to be sad alone. She could call her husband. She gave the piecing a half twist, a buzzing in her ear told her it was working
"Start listening" she gave the command and then the one to call her husband
"Yeah? Angela what is it?" it was comforting in its familiarity, his voice.
"Hey, I'm just having a really bad morning..." She sighed into the microphone.
"That sucks babe
" He said groggily.
" She said vaguely preparing to tell him about the kitten when he asked what was wrong.
"Aww, well hey I'm taking a nap right now, we can talk about it when you get home."
" Angela said feeling suddenly very lonely "Bye" She rotated the piercing again ending the phone call. That was when she felt it. It wasn't just the kitten it was the total indifference her husband had towards her, as if she were no more than a favorite toy to put on display when he wanted her. She leaned back against the cool concrete wall of the storage room and slid down it, hugged her legs against her simply for something physical to cling to. Physical affection wasn't a big one for Warner; if they weren't having sex then he wasn't touching her. Period. It was too much, the realization of her situation, she put her head in her knees and cried.
She looked up when the door clicked open but didn't have the energy to wipe at her tear stained cheeks.
"Angela, do we have any
" the sentence faded away when he saw her. "Oh
" he said, he took a quick look over his shoulder, checking on his customers; walked into the tiny space while closing the door behind him. Crouched down and placed a hand on her cheek, leaning in. She yielded to the kiss completely. It wasn't even a question anymore, it wasn't a question and it wasn't something she wanted to hide from, she needed Adam in her life like she needed the air. He filled her with new life, just to be touched in a way that was innocent felt so necessary. But even through her desperate need she hadn't thought of love. They stopped kissing and he pulled her close to his chest, stroking her hair, it seemed like forever,. Probably, the reality of it was five minutes. They both mutely stood up, and went to stand behind the cash wrap, neither spoke.
It was Adam who first broke the silence nearly an hour later.
"It's not my business
" she responded airly still lost in her own little world.
"I know
it seems like you haven't been touched like that in a long time. You melted right into me
Angela I never wanted to let you go."
She didn't know how to answer him so she just put her hand on top of his, it felt warm and comfortable. She looked away from him then. Wondering how he could so easily divine her secrets.
"You're right" she whispered interlocking her fingers with his.
She supposed that's how it had started.
They continued to see each other, stealing quick moments at the shop or if she could get away long enough they met at parks or at the little apartment Adam shared with his best friend.
The first time they had intercourse he had asked if she wanted to 'make love' and she had laughed at him.
"I don't believe in making love, love has nothing to do with it."
"What's it have to do with then?"
"Hormones." She said and they both laughed like it was a good joke. "
but yes lets have sex."
And after he asked her to put her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her and whispered sweet things in her ear. It wasn't what she was used to.
It took a month for that to feel natural.
Now we're back to that moment.
"I love you." He had said as if he really meant it, as if it was the easiest three words he ever said in his life.
"I love you Angela." He said it again. Hoping to elicit some response from her. "Ange
just say something? I'm not asking you to leave him or anything like that I just
I just wanted you to know how I feel
that it's not just sex to me. I will always always love you, I'll wait for you as long as it takes as long as you want me."
" Angela didn't know what to say suddenly it was real and she couldn't bear the thought of it. He would waste his life waiting for her, she didn't want to be responsible for that. "I
don't feel that way" she said thickly, her throat sore from holding back tears. "I don't want to be with you
" she knew she wouldn't leave Warner, it had been too many years he had too tight a hold on her, either Adam would wait forever or break her heart trying, more than it was already breaking. She hated standing there watching his reaction, his jaw set into a firm line as he held himself together. He protested.
"I don't believe you. You love me, it's in your eyes."
"No. I don't. Maybe you should find a new job." She said mustering as much solidarity into her voice as she possibly could. She wanted to sound serious and final.
"I'll leave
but I know you love me, I don't know why you're doing this but I know you love me." He turned his back in a hurry Angela thought he might have been trying not to look affected and she felt as if something were clawing at her chest and she wanted to
but she couldn't call out to him, it was for his own good after all. She had to let him go because she loved him and she could only hope someday when all this had blown over she could tell him as much.

A beautiful foggy morning in Maine at the light house Pemaquid Point. I added painterly effects along with textures to make the image look like a painting. Pemaquid Point, with its dramatic streaks of granite reaching to the sea, shaped by massive movements thousands of years ago, would be a fascinating place to visit even without its pretty white lighthouse. The spot is one of the most frequently visited attractions of the Maine coast, receiving about 100,000 visitors each year. The name �Pemaquid� is said to have had its origins in an Abenaki Indian word for �situated far out.�

Administration and Obama campaign officials insist they have obeyed all federal laws, forwarding business-related email from personal accounts into the White House servers for archiving.
Jobs Report Quickdraw – A split jobs report – an uptick in the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent coupled with better-than-expected growth – 172k – gave both sides cause to say they're right today.
Obama – "This morning we learned that our businesses created 172,000 new jobs in the month of July. That means that we've now created 4.5 million over the last 29 months and 1.1 million new jobs so far this year," Obama said. "Those are our neighbors and family members finding work and the security that comes with work. We knew when I started this job that this was going to take some time," he added. "But we also knew that if we were persistent and kept at it, kept working, that we'd gradually get to where we need to be."
Romney described the report as a "hammer blow to the struggling middle-class families of America."
"These numbers are not just statistics. These are real people, really suffering, having hard times, 23 million Americans out of work or stopped looking for work or way under-employed," Romney said. "The official unemployment number, 8.3 percent. That's the longest period of time — 42 months — the longest period of time we've had unemployment above 8 percent in American history, since this has been recorded."
"This is an extraordinary record of failure."

Factcheck – Could Romney's Tax Plan Raise Middle-Class Taxes As Studies, White House Suggest? - Romney's campaign is hitting back against a study released this week showing the GOP candidate's tax plan would raise taxes on the middle class while slashing the tax burden for millionaires, calling the report "biased" and "a joke."
But here's what Tax Policy Center says:
"They [tax plans like Romney's] seem to be discussed in a way that I'm going to have really big cuts in tax rates, but the tax system is going to be just as progressive as it was before, that the impact on tax revenue or on the budget is going to be the same and I'm going to maintain all of your treasured deductions," Tax Policy Center's Adam Looney said. "At some point, the math just doesn't add up.
In order to avoid such middle-class tax hikes, Looney said, Romney has three options: change the plan he has already laid out so it does not give such large tax breaks to the wealthy, drop the revenue-neutral requirement so that the tax cuts are not offset with revenue increases but instead add to the deficit, or make up for the lost revenue from his tax cuts by slashing spending. Romney's campaign has argued that his plan to cut tax rates would spur economic growth. And as the economy grows, allowing more people pay more taxes, his plan would be virtually paid for by those increased revenues

Overheard on the Message Boards: Looking for Marriage Records of Michael Harty to Leda Brosseau
A: The good news about your research is that you are researching in a state that has a plethora of vital records. Generally in Massachusetts, a town began recording births, marriages, and deaths when it was founded. While vital records are kept on the town level, there are indexes available, especially after 1850 that cover the entire state and will supply you with valuable information needed in locating the vital record in question, in your case the marriage record. |
Index to Marriages
There is an index to births, marriages and deaths that begins in 1841. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has this index for marriages up to 1905 available on microfilm. The New England Historic Genealogical Library, in Boston, Massachusetts has the marriage index up to 1920. To access this index you would need to either visit the library in person or you would need to hire a genealogist in the Boston area to access the index for you.
There are some things you can do, though, to help you further narrow the search. Right now you know that the marriage took place some time before February 1913, probably in Holyoke, Massachusetts. This is based on the birth of the oldest child. A quick check of the Family History Library Catalog revealed that the vital records for Holyoke cut off in 1906, which does not help you with your present search.
So, armed with the knowledge of when the eldest child was born and that the vital records for Holyoke that are available on microfilm do not cover the years you need, you need to see if there is some other record that can give you some immediate information while you wait for the index or get enough information to contact the town hall. The question comes up, what record might be able to help you in narrowing down the time of the marriage?
A Look at Census
Because the eldest child was born in 1913, this means you should be able to pick up the family in the 1920 census. This census has been soundexed for each family, unlike some of the other census years, making it easy to find your family
As was found, Michael and his family were living in Holyoke, Hampden County, Massachusetts. They can be found in Enumeration District 42, Supervisor's District 2, Sheet 10B, Dwelling No.37, Family No. 215, living at 11 Sargeant Street.
Harty, Michael | Head | M | W | 37 | Married | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Ireland (English) |
-----, Leda | Wife | F | W | 36 | Married | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Canada (French) |
-----, Elmieda | Daughter | F | W | 6 | Single | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
-----, William | Son | M | W | 5 | Single | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
While this was interesting, showing the two children, it did not help us to further narrow down the date of marriage of Michael and Leda. However, the 1930 census added a number of columns, one of which is of particular interest to genealogists. Among other things there was asked the age of the individual at the time of his or her first marriage. A look for Michael Harty in Holyoke in 1930, which was narrowed down using the NARA 1930 Census Microfilm Locator, from 7 microfilms to 11 enumeration districts on 2 rolls of microfilm, much easier to search.
The good news is that Michael and his family are still living at 11 Sargeant Street in 1930. I found them in Holyoke City, Hampden County, Massachusetts, in Enumeration District 7-137, Supervisor's District 3, Sheet 1A, Dwelling No. 1, Family No. 4.
Harty, Michael | Head | M | W | 47 | Married | age 29 at first marriage | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
-----, Leda | Wife | F | W | 47 | Married | age 29 at first marriage | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Canada (French) |
-----, Elmida | Daughter | F | W | 17 | Single | NA | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
-----, William | Son | M | W | 15 | Single | NA | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
-----, Bernard | Son | M | W | 8 | Single | NA | Born: Massachusetts | Parents born in Massachusetts |
By the way, you may want to take a look at the family living next to Michael in both the 1920 and the 1930 census. There is a Mathilda Bruseau who is widowed. She was born in Canada, and is listed as French. It is likely that this is Leda's mother. Mathilda immigrated to the United States in 1875, so you should be able to pick her up in the 1880 and 1900 census.
In Conclusion
While the 1930 census didn't give an exact date you at least know that they were about 29 years old when they were married, which puts the marriage about 1912. This should be enough to contact the town of Holyoke to request a copy of the marriage record.

Ubisoft and Nvidia have released a new Watch Dogs trailer designed to show off the high-end graphics that will be available to those with a fancy PC.
In the video, engineer Paul Vlasie talks about how Nvidia and Ubisoft Montreal have worked together to add the hardware maker's HBAO+ tech, designed to create more realistic shadows, and its fancy TXAA anti-aliasing effects.
"We really want to make sure PC gamers will be able to enjoy and explore the most realistic and visually stunning world environment ever created," Vlasie says.
Over the weekend, Ubisoft also confirmed the minimum and recommended PC specs for Watch Dogs. If you haven't seen them yet, well, there's a good chance you might have to consider an upgrade if you're looking to play with the graphics settings cranked up.
Ubisoft also reportedly said earlier this week that it was targeting a resolution of 1080p on the PlayStation 4, but made no reference of the goal for Xbox One.
How do you think the video stacks up with previous trailers for the game?

As more details into the latest terror attacks in London and Glasgow emerge, fear that radical extremism has come to Scotland is growing amid the Muslim community. "Relationships between communities has been so good, no-one was expecting anything like this to happen in Scotland," said Bashir Mann, the president of the Glasgow Central Mosque, the largest mosque in the city. "Things happen in London and England, but not here." This is not the first time, however, that concerns about extremism have hit Glasgow. There was a recent controversy surrounding the Madressa Al Arabia Al Islama Mosque, right outside of Glasgow. An Islamic school across the street from the mosque was shut down three years ago amid allegations that it was teaching extremists views. Now the mosque runs its own private school. A leader at the mosque refused to comment to ABCNews.com or allow any of its teachers or employees to comment, saying that the media has "twisted the words" and statements of the mosque leadership and members in the past, but he did say that Islam is a "a peaceful religion." THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS Blotter Secret Document: U.S. Fears Terror 'Spectacular' Planned Blotter Exclusive: U.K. Terror Plot — Why the Bombs Failed Blotter Investigators: Scotland and London Bomb Attempts Linked to Same Two Men Click Here to Check Out Brian Ross Investigative Photos Bashir says the majority of the Muslim community in Scotland is moderate. "We have no radical young people, no extremists," he said. "The community is very well-educated, well-to-do, and most are professionals." British authorities have also said that they don't believe that the suspects originated from Scotland, but rather traveled there to work and plan the terror attacks. That scares members of the community as much as the prospect of home-grown terrorism. "You don't know who to trust and who not," said Soran Ali, an Iraqi-Kurd immigrant who came to Scotland seven years ago and now runs a barber shop. "You talk to a guy, he talks to you about his dreams, his life, and seems like a normal person, and you don't know he's ready for suicide." Several Iraqi-Kurds voiced horror at the thought that Iraqi suspect Bilal Abdullah could have been amongst them. "We come here for opportunity," said one man. "Scotland is a good and peaceful place, why would you want to kill people?" Many in the community told ABC News that they would never believe that the alleged suicide bombers came from Scotland. "It's rubbish, and I won't comment further," said one shopkeeper. Still others said they had been told by community leaders not to comment to anyone on the issue. Ali says that though the Scottish and British authorities have a responsibility to continue to monitor and crackdown on radical extremism, ultimately the Muslim community itself will have to take responsibility and speak out, if these attacks are going to end. "We ourselves have got to be very vigilant to see that no radicalization is allowed of our young people here," he said. "We have to also be vigilant that people from abroad do not come here to create any trouble." Do you have a tip for Brian Ross and the Investigative Team?

Ophthalmologist Technology Degree Programs
Learn about degree programs available in the field of ophthalmologist technology. Discover program requirements and courses, as well as career and certification information for graduates.
Essential Information
Training programs in ophthalmology technology prepare graduates to provide comprehensive assistance to ophthalmologists - physicians who provide medical care for the human eye. Most students at the technologist level complete 2-year associate's programs to prepare for this career. These graduates are trained in specific optical office tasks, such as taking patient histories, conducting tests, assessing vision and preparing medical instruments. They also are prepared to sit for the national Certified Ophthalmic Medical Technologist (COMT) examination administered by the Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO).
Education Prerequisites
Applicants to associate's degree programs must meet the criteria established by the educational institution, such as a high school diploma or its equivalent. Programs are often limited-entry, and the best candidates are those who have some prior work experience in the field and a solid background in science.
Program Coursework
General requirements for completion of the degree include general education topics like English, biology and mathematics, as well as professional courses, such as:
- Ocular medical terminology
- Optic anatomy and physiology
- Ophthalmic laboratory
- Ophthalmic dispensing
- Ocular disease
- Office procedures
Career Outlook and Salary Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), substantial growth was expected for all types of medical assistant positions between 2010 and 2020, at an expected rate of 31%. Ophthalmic medical technicians made a median salary of $34,240 as of May 2012, according to the BLS.
Continuing Education Options
Many graduates of ophthalmologist technology degree programs obtain certification through the JCAHPO. There are three levels of certification available - ophthalmic assistant, technician and technologist. At least 36 continuing education credits must be earned each year in order to be eligible for recertification.

The early rays of morning sunlight beamed down through the translucent (favcolour) curtains of your room, coating the cosy living space in a deep (favcolour) glow that awoke you from your peaceful slumber. Shifting slightly as your eyes squinted shut against the unwanted light, you groaned deeply, not quite wanting to awaken from your present dreamy state. You rolled over in the sizable double bed and cuddled further underneath the warm sheets in an effort to return to dreamland.
Beside you someone else stirred under the satin covers, stretching out their slender body before curling around yours with a small content sigh. You gently smiled at the contact before sleepily opening your eyes to look at the person currently laid beside you, as the pleasant memories of the night before replayed through your mind.

With ISIS continuing to wreak well-publicized terror in the Mideast, it is easier than ever to keep the flames of hatred toward Muslims alive in the West. As many have surmised from a variety of evidence, that may be the reason that the Frankenstein creation of the Anglo-American-Israeli Empire was created with the help of its allies in Turkey and the Gulf monarchies.
British Islamic scholar Paul Salahuddin Armstrong rejoins us to counter some of the more sophisticated arguments and myths about Islam used by those who are justifying demonizing the religion.

Deepertruth: St. Vincent de Paul Active In Missionary Work
in Religion
Jesus gave this example, "And he sat down and called the Twelve and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." (Mark 9:35-37)
Acts Chapter 6 informs us that the Apostles established an order of deacons to help them with the care of the widows. The Church has always needed help to take care of the poor. We do become the Lord's hands when we do his will, to take care of the needy.
Through the inspiration of St. Vincent de Paul, the founders of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul would come to the United States in 1845 beginning at the Basilica of St. Louis.
This Basilica, commonly called "The Old Cathedral", was named in honor of St. Louis, King of France.
Father John Timon, a Vincentian priest from Pennsylvania, would establish a local chapter in Louisville Kentucky in 1854 and the Society has never looked back since.
The Society has a broad outreach that has helped untold millions of people all over the world.
They continue to help the poor regardless of background of those needing help.
According to their webpage, it states, "The St Vincent de Paul Society's members and volunteers reach out to the most vulnerable in our community through our Conferences, Special Works and Vinnies shops. Members and volunteers assist people in need and do not discriminate against cultural, religious or political beliefs."

Higginbotham/Democrat photo A student driver and driving instructor were injured in a two-car crash on Route 236 late Wednesday morning in South Berwick, Maine.
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Police say a 16-year-old boy who was taking his road test for his driver's license caused a two-car collision when he attempted to cross Route 236 near Vine Street.The accident sent both the boy and the DMV examiner to the hospital with injuries that were not life threatening.Michael LaFrance, 57, of Old Orchard Beach, was the passenger and the examiner in a 2006 Ford sedan that was operated by the juvenile. The two had just left the South Berwick Community Center on Norton Street, where the teen's parents waited. A black SUV operated by Tyler Vieira, 22, from Rollinsford, N.H., was traveling south on Route 236 when the 2006 Ford sedan attempted to cross the state highway from Academy to Vine streets.Vieira was not injured and was able to remove his vehicle from the scene, and later drive it home. The sedan was considered a complete loss.According to officer Dennis Chagnon, who was at the scene a minute after the accident at 11:20 a.m., both LaFrance and the juvenile were taken to York Hospital, complaining of abdomen and general pain.

Longview —
A little more than nine years ago, Longview Transit became the city's designated public transportation provider and Councilman Daryl Williams was there, serving on the newly-created Public Transportation Advisory Committee.
Williams was there Tuesday for his final PTAC meeting.
Because of term limitations, the senior city councilman is not seeking re-election.
Williams received accolades from members of the advisory committee, led by Chairman Steve Crane, who said Williams was a driving force in the creation of Longview's public transportation system.

Found her through my insurance web site and researched her. Her ratings just about everywhere "indicated" she was good. My husband and I visited her and I have to say the ratings are correct, she's really good. Really warm and helpful.

I am so happy I found Dr. Eppele. After years of being with the same primary I made the switch. I was nervous I was in the middle of seeing specialists for a year. I did not know the difference between a worn out doctor and a new doctor who sees things from a different perspective. Dr. Eppele cares and her staff is very helpful and organized. I have had no appointment problems and my anxiety has gone down tremendously just because of this switch. If you are unsure of changing doctors, just do it.

Behold the dark side of Brazil's booming economy.
Most analysts expect the Central Bank to raise interest rates later this month, which generally helps contain inflation by reducing lending and, thus, the amount of money in circulation. And Rousseff has also pledged to cut government spending, which increased 44 percent between 2008 and 2010.
Rousseff's predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, boosted public spending in 2008 to help mitigate the effects of the global recession. But the spree continued unnecessarily throughout 2010 in a classic election-year ploy, said Tony Volpon, a Latin America analyst at Nomura Securities in New York City. Rousseff must now face the inflationary consequences of all that spending.
"It's the hangover from the party the country had last year," Volpon said.
He's confident the president will follow through on promises of spending cuts, which also should help quell demand and keep inflation in check.
But in the meantime, he worries that inflation-fighting measures such as raising interest rates will exacerbate one of Brazil's other chief economic problems: The Brazilian real has surged 39 percent against the dollar in the last two years, putting it in the running to be the most overvalued currency on earth.
Part of the cause is that Brazilian interest rates — among the world's highest — attract huge quantities of foreign money from investors eager for returns many times higher than those in the United States and Europe. Raising rates again will only serve to attract more of this so-called "hot money" into an already inflated economy.
Analysts differ over which problem — inflation or an overvalued currency — poses the biggest risk. But Volpon says both have roots in the last few years of prolific government spending. And he says fiscal restraint is the key to getting the economy back on track.
"The inflation problem that Brazil is having is just the other side of the currency problem," he said. "Brazil can't go on this path for much longer without facing a fairly serious crisis."

Free-to-play downloadable game Plants vs. Zombies 2 will be released across the world on Android "soon," PopCap Games announced today. The game originally launched on iOS in July.
The developer has also expanded the game's soft launch territories, pushing Plants vs. Zombies 2 live on the Google Play store today in New Zealand and Australia. This follows the game's release in China last month.
Plants vs. Zombies 2 has not been without controversy. A report from last week cited EA Labels president Frank Gibeau as saying "Apple gave us a truckload of money to delay the Android version [of Plants vs Zombies 2]."
EA said this comment was taken out of context and thus caused an "unfortunate misunderstanding." A paid relationship between Apple and EA does not exist, the company said at the time.
Plants vs. Zombies 2 launched in July as an iOS-exclusive and has been downloaded nearly 25 million times to date.

first and foremost, Thanks for the blood,sweat and tears corey... now... What do you do? Corey leaving is a bigger problem than I think most people care to acknowledge as great and faulk is, and how great maroneys upside is... Dillion was still our premeire back. Wonder if F.O/Coaching saw this coming which would explain why maroney was used in power running situations..hmmm secondly, I'd like to wish Chad Jackson a speedy recovery..luckily our team is jam packed with players who have had serious injuries in critical times..so i expect Chad Jackson will have alot of comfort in that sense.. do you throw RB/WR into a must draft/sign to the top or near the top of your needs list..or do you leave it as is..explain your reasoning!
At some point, we need to see what we've got with Maroney, if he truly can carry the load. I think he can. I'm grateful to Corey for his toughness and what he contributed these last few years. But there's a certain excitement in picking his replacement in the draft, which is what I hope happens. Who knows, we may find someone better than Dillon AND Maroney. Stranger things have happened.
Yes they saw it coming they drafted maroney in the first round last year. Even more neither of them were really used in specific situations as they mainly alternated series.
I agree. I think we let Maroney be the featured back of NE, let him know you have confidence in him. Let him get more carries to get some consistency. I still feel a lot of Maroney's problems last season were due to lack of carries. I know you have to earn your field time but backs need to develop consistency and work out loose ends. Dillon was/is a great back and was just what the Patriots needed but I don't think you need a 6million dollar RB in the Patriots system, they did win 2 SB's with Antwain Smith, after all.
The WR thing has been beaten to death. I think Maroney is supposed to be Dillons replacement. But I wouldn't mind signing Pass if the money is right. I have also called elsewhere to sign Leonard if he goes in the third. Not worth a higher pick to me.
every year there is transistion, in football your real lucky to get qaulity production in your 30's ther are exceptions, rice, seau, brown,matthews, but not the norm. the pats are going through changes like every team and they have weathered the storm pretty good. im confident im bb and pioli they will reload, wiyh the draft and free agency, and they will be in a position to COMPETE FOE A CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH IS THEIR GOAL EVERY YEAR
Corey Dillon was starting to slip but the Pats will miss his ability for punching in a touchdown from up close. I don't think Heath Evans has this ability.
To me there is no place on the team for Pass. Any player that drops the ball while reaching to grab an injury,(hamstring) does not belong nor deserve to be on the Pats! IMHO.
I agree. Re-sign Evans, sign a vet FB (there are a lot available), teach Mills the FB position, and tell Pass to go play with the jest. Instead of drafting a power back of the future with a first-day pick (all of which should be used on LBs and DBs), I would use a 2nd-day pick, sign a UDFA or two, and sign at least one vet FA before the draft. This way, if Maroney's not ready for prime time, then an Antoine Smith-type can help carry the load.
i would like to see maroney get 20-25 carries a game. and maybe sign a FA RB, like labrandon toefield or even chris brown to back him up
If Dillion leaves there is one more roster spot to fill at a key positon, he may not be a true starter but did get a lot of reps and was quite productive. The worst thing about this move from a roster building perspective is that there will be a cap charge and a new player will have to be brought in. I don't think it that difficult of a position to fill but takes resources away from other roster areas. Impact on roster - a lot of questions and open positions, there us likely to be 10-15 new faces on the 07 team Assumptions - Dillion does not return - Samuel plays in 2007 - all ERFA and RFAs are retained As of today (Feb,23), I have our current roster needs rated as: LB - ILB is short 1 starter and both positions have no depth (2-3 open spots) WR - requires upgrade at top end and some additional backend depth (2 open spots, 1 Starter and a fight for #5 between Kight, Chidlress, Draftee and T Brown if he returns) TE - 1 open spot RB - 1 open spot for a situational starter plus competition for backups and FB S - no open spots, but upgrades can occur at starting FS or backup SS CB - backup spot(s) open, 3rd CB position is open (Scott, Gay plus whoever) Oline - no open spots but can be upgraded Dline - no open spots - solid, possible depth added spot 6 or 7 SPEC - no open spots, competition for P QB - open spot for 3rd string A lot will change within the next month, nothing to get worried about but there are a lot of open positions.
If you look realistically at the Pats, they rebuilt the Offense and ST over the last two years; after having spent lots of time on the Defense the years before. Off the 2006 results, the Defense performed better than the Offense statistically. But that was last season. The Offense was so new that it wasn't fully functioning as a finished product. Meanwhile the Defense has sprung a leak at ILB where the starters are good bu the depth is poor. In spite of what the junior GMs here think, the secondary is both fine, young and deep. A CB trio of Samuels, Hobbs and Gay backed by swing CBs like Scott, Hawkins, and Geno is much more than most teams have. At S the Patriots have Geno and Sanders, backed by veterans starters Hawkins and Harrison with ex-starters Scott and Gay able to swing in and Mitchel from ST able to contribute too. The DL and depth at DL is fine; and the OLBs are fine and young too. Only in the Inside LB position does the Team need some new additions. Bill and Scott will address that as they always do with a combination of draft picks, veteran ex-starters, and low level FAs, and perhaps a trade. The current ILB position is Tedy and Vrabel. Next season I could see it composed of Tedy and Mike, Jr, and Nap Harris; and Barry Gardner taking Izzo's place as ST LB. Add one of Willis, Harris or Poslusny from the Draft. I assume both Izzo and Davis are done, and their replacements will be both ST players, but also playable reserves at LB, like Gardner. The offense is now young without a single starter under thirty and only two reserves over thirty. (Brown & Faulk) I see the Pats investing another first day draft selections in a RB and WR and a mid round pick on a QB. Other wise the draft picks will be second day LBs and secondary picks, looking for ST and perhaps a defensive find. A late first or second day pick I like is Prescott Burgess as a coverage LB. I assume that Pats will resign TBC and Jr and perhaps keep Corey.
