Henry Chapman Mercer (June 24, 1856 – March 9, 1930)[1] was an American archeologist, artifact collector, tile-maker, and designer of three distinctive poured concrete structures: Fonthill, his home, the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, and the Mercer Museum.
Henry Mercer was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania on June 24, 1856. Mercer first traveled to Europe in 1870. He attended Harvard University between 1875 and 1879, obtaining a liberal arts degree. Mercer went on to study law at University of Pennsylvania Law School between 1880 and 1881, and he read law with the firm of Freedley and Hollingsworth. The same year he began studying at the University of Pennsylvania, he became a founding member of the Bucks County Historical Society.[2][3]
Mercer, however, never practiced law;[2] he was admitted to the Philadelphia County Bar on November 9, 1881, but departed for Europe the same month.[4] From 1881 to 1889, he extensively traveled through France and Germany.[3]
The University of Pennsylvania Museum appointed Mercer as the Curator of American and Prehistoric Archaeology in the early 1890s. Leaving his position with the Museum in the late 1890s, Mercer devoted himself to finding old American artifacts and learning about German pottery. Mercer believed that American society was being destroyed by industrialism, which inspired his search for American artifacts. Mercer founded Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in 1898 after apprenticing himself to a Pennsylvania German potter. He was also influenced by the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
Mercer is well known for his research and books about ancient tool making, his ceramic tile creations, and his engineering and architecture. He was among the paleontologists who investigated Port Kennedy Bone Cave. He wrote extensively on his interests, which included archaeology, early tool making, German stove plates, and ceramics. He assembled the collection of early American tools now housed in the Mercer Museum. Mercer's tiles are used in the floor of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and in many other noteworthy buildings and houses. In the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Mercer created a series of mosaic images for the floor of the building. The series of four hundred mosaics trace the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from prehistoric times, and is the largest single collection of Mercer's tiles. Other collections of tiles by Mercer can be found at Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico Hills, New York; Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California; the Casino at Monte Carlo in Monaco; and the St. Louis Public Library.
Henry Ford stated that the Mercer museum was the only museum worth visiting in the United States, and the Mercer Museum was apparently Henry Ford's inspiration for his own museum, The Henry Ford, located in Dearborn, Michigan. The Mercer Museum houses over forty thousand artifacts from early American society. Mercer died on March 9, 1930 at Fonthill, the house he designed and constructed from reinforced concrete in 1908-1912.
The Bucks County Historical Society now owns Fonthill, which is open to the public, and the Mercer Museum. The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works is owned and operated by the Bucks County Department of Parks & Recreation. These three buildings make up "the Mercer Mile". All three buildings were designed and constructed by Henry Mercer in the early part of the 20th century.

Newton's laws of motion don't immediately spring to mind when thinking of subjects for games to be based around. Certainly not when it comes to the extent in which NewtonApples focuses on the tale of Newton being hit on the head by an apple. A clever mix of a few different game mechanics that you'll recognise from titles such as Fruit Ninja and various flick based games, NewtonApples offers some great yet frantic fun.
At first, you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. Sure, NewtonApples looks gorgeous and you'll be beguiled by the cute yet well drawn animations of Newton himself. Each stage offers some lovely backdrops too with some great nods to pop culture such as the E.T bike flying across the screen and some of the seven dwarves appearing too. It's subtle rather than garish. But the first couple of stages feel almost too easy. Popping an apple here and the odd slice movement to clear the green ones – it's not taxing. It turns out that's because it's easing you in. Things get frantic soon enough.
Red apples require a quick tap to clear them, green apples require you to make a slicing movement across them (which you can do en masse if the opportunity arises) and leaves have to be flicked off screen. Individually it's simple enough but collectively, there are a heck of a lot of objects coming down the screen desperate to knock poor Newton out. this is even more true on hard mode. Besides the main part of the game and an endless mode, there's also 2 mini games. Admittedly they do feel a little bit like filler but the Hungry Worms game gave me fond memories of my days playing Snake and both games offer brief distractions.
NewtonApples is a simple little game but entertaining. Throwing in a small section about the laws of motion is a great touch and adds to the experience. For $.99 you could do a lot worse than spring for this. Just don't expect much depth.

Patrick-Murray Administration Announces Public/Private Partnership to Support Early Literacy Programs for Families
Commonwealth's successful Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge initiative will help prevent achievement gaps among our youngest citizens, before they form
BOSTON – The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) today announced a new partnership with IBM to increase family literacy and support early childhood development. This collaboration will supplement existing adult education programs with proven family literacy resources that will help to strengthen parents' literacy skills and give them tools to support their children's reading and language development, and provide resources to early education and care programs to support literacy acquisition in children ages 3 to 7 years old.
This partnership is part of the Commonwealth's successful Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge plan, a four year blueprint for advancement of child, youth, and community outcomes in Massachusetts. The Commonwealth received a $50M award from the Obama Administration over the next four years to implement high-energy, achievable education reform initiatives that blaze the trail for closing the achievement gap.
"Parents and families are their children's first teachers and as such they have an important role to play in supporting early literacy and language development," said Department of Early Education and Care Commissioner Sherri Killins. "As our Commonwealth's early education and care programs and adult literacy centers work to strengthen family literacy, especially among bi- and multi-lingual families, this partnership initiative is a key resource in supporting both parents' and children's English language acquisition and reading skills."
Through this partnership, IBM is donating early literacy educational technology to the state, including its Reading Companion software and KidSmart Early Learning Program. Up to twenty Adult Education program sites will receive a $15,000 grant from EEC over three years to equip their programs with adult literacy tools, including IBM Reading Companion software, to assist families that are working to improve their English language and literacy skills. Additionally, through its KidSmart Early Learning Program, IBM is also donating its Young Explorer Computers to not-for-profit early education and care programs serving children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old, to help children learn and explore concepts in math, science and language.
"Research and brain science make a compelling case that investments in high quality early learning experiences, such as those that build children's math and literacy skills and engage families in their children's learning, are a key investment in workforce development," said Board of Early Education and Care Chairman J.D. Chesloff. "This initiative and the contribution from IBM is a model for how businesses can invest in early education to help build strong communities and a citizenry that is equipped to be competitive in a 21st Century global economy."
EEC's adult literacy initiative will support families with children who have high needs, including limited English proficiency, and will aim to strengthen parents' ability to help their children develop early language and literacy skills and bolster their school readiness. Funding from EEC's grant will provide services to approximately 100 families during each year of the initiative. Four programs have received awards totaling $60,000 from EEC in a first round of funding. These Adult Education programs are Boston Public Schools, Department of Adult Education; Julie's Family Learning Program, South Boston; Mujeres Unidas Avanzando (MUA), Dorchester; and Worcester Public Schools, Worcester Adult Learning Center.
The participating adult literacy program sites will implement an early literacy strategy that integrates the new family literacy initiative with their existing adult literacy program, and staff at these programs will complete training in early childhood literacy development to enhance their capacity to support parents and families. Educators will be able to create and manage online classrooms for parents and students via the IBM Reading Companion website. Both parents and children will have access to and benefit from the software, which will track the increase in their language and literacy skills over time. The four programs will work with EEC's local Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) network, and the children's museums, public libraries, and community centers in their area, to inform families of the availability of the new family literacy services, and IBM Reading Companion software, at their sites.
IBM's donation of Young Explorer Computers and access to related professional development webinars and technical assistance will support early education and care preschool programs participating in the state's Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) at Level 3 or higher that operate on a full-day and full-year basis and serve children with high needs.
"IBM congratulates Massachusetts, which earned Race to the Top grants," said Cathleen Finn, IBM New England Corporate Citizenship Manager. "Massachusetts is clearly in the vanguard when it comes to providing innovative educational models for their school-aged children. We thought it was only right that the private sector, led by IBM, support its efforts by providing exciting technology and expert services that can be a valuable component of their programs."
About the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care
The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is focused on strengthening the system of early education and care in Massachusetts as a critical element of the education pipeline from cradle to career. The work of the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is steeped in the notion that brain building is in progress for young children in enriching environments with caring adults and meaningful and engaging interactions. The latest science shows that these early experiences actually build the architecture of the developing brain; much like a house is built from the bottom up. We know that children's earliest experiences are especially important because building the human brain begins even before birth; a strong foundation in early years greatly increases the chance of long-term positive outcomes. To raise awareness of the critical importance of fostering the cognitive, social and emotional development of young children by emphasizing its future impact on economic development and prosperity for everyone in Massachusetts, EEC launched the Brain Building in Progress campaign.

If the bike is used hard (ie: slipping the clutch to manuver tight trails or get through rough terrain or deep sand, or racing conditions) the clutch jet size should be increased (.40 - .50mm) and possibly some modifications to the inner clutch hub made (AKA the Feliciani Mods) to accomodate the extra abuse. Don't go too big; unless you're racing the bike, the 1.0 mm size Feliciani talks about for desert racing is too big for non-racing use. Be advised that some "streetability"
be compromised even with the .40- .50mm sizes (ie: hard to find neutral, clunky shifting at slow speed, etc.). Best to start small and work your way up. Have a spare .030mm so you can go back down when you get too big."

Astute fans of Jason Segel may have noticed that the actor seems to have slimmed down in his more recent public appearances. He confirmed that on 'Late Show' and even brought the pictures to prove it. The photos served as a sort of intervention for Segel. He'd gotten up to about 245 pounds, and was enjoying "the best food and booze anywhere," according to Segel, in New Orleans. "Unfortunatel...

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,134 ViewsOH NEWGROUNDS, HOW WE HAVE MISSED YOU SO.
Based on a true story! This was one of those things that was only supposed to take me 2-3 weeks to get the joke out but then I kept adding things and it spiraled a little but hey, finally, here we go. I'll try to have some more info on my blog and some production-related stuff in the next while, but first I gotta get back to work on some other things... FUN(?) FACT, we recorded all the music for this ourselves, and that really is Caxx "nyanning".
Thanks hugely to Tom and Mike for helping me get some API stuff sorted out, you guys are awesome!
This might not run well on older computers (or even newer ones) so I'd suggest using the "dim the lights" feature.... otherwise, sorry about that, kind of.
Oh also, a few people have suggested a seizure warning, so here you go:
Thanks for watching, pls enjoy!
did'nt expect the hellraiser part, but it made me smile. more wierd stuff with unexpected referenses!
lol nice
Lol at the ending, she's going to be puking rainbow for as long as she nyann'd XD. Definitely a nice animation and graphics, yeah... I hate that cat so much lol... There was still that part where I jumped a bit even though I was expecting some shit to pop up lol. Love your work, continue with what you're doing cause it's working... hope it wasn't drugs lol
Everything you do, becomes an instant fav
I love this.
Third animation I see you do and I love it.
Love Caxx voice, she was hilarious has bimbo Morgan or whatever that darkstalkers character is called (you know the one).
Props for both of you, you are a great team.
I have officially been warned.
Though I have seizures, mine aren't caused by flashing images(?) or lights, so 'sall good.
Flash was awesome, nice take on the meme. Didn't exactly understand the part after she grabbed the box, and the octopus bit was weird in a funny way. Especially love the end, I think I'd puke rainbows too.
5/5 10/10 Fav

Am interested in how the various states handle this. If your state's not yet listed and you happen to know how it's handled there, let's see how the states compare.
QUESTION: Does your state have in its statutes specific immunity from further criminal/civil liability or prosecution, in a justified self-defense situation?
- State? (Please specify.)
- Immunity protections: Yes, No?
- If "no billed" (dismissed for lack of evidence, by Grand Jury), does immunity exist?
- If District Attorney declines to prosecute (for whatever reason), does immunity exist?
- If acquitted of charges in a trial, does immunity exist from further prosecution?
- Are other, separate charges possible, or does immunity from those exist as well?
- Are reasonable costs (for attorney, court, lost income) recoverable in such "immunity" cases on the original trial/charges?
- Are reasonable costs (for attorney, court, lost income) recoverable for any future charges or civil litigation?
- Are you aware of any specific instances, in your state, where such immunity protections were breached and further legal liabilities were allowed to go forward anyway, without blockage, without penalties to those bringing further charges/action/liability?

What changes did you make with the tie rod ends and spindles if any? I can measure the stud on one of my stock MII tie rod ends as far as length goes it that helps along with measuring the thickness of the stock I in the MII spindle. Pm or email me if that would help. |
Tie rod
Sounds like your both right, wrong taper to match. It is the IFS kit (stage 1) from fat man. I do have plenty of room for installing my cotter( with small spacer to make it real nice fit) BUT would this be a good idea? I've thru all shipping pkg's away so don' want to send back. Also thinking about reaming the hole a little bit?Advise, thanks again, Dana
I'd just call Fatman and see what they say. I'd have the part number for the spindle and the tie rod end handy if they were available. It may be that the arm on their spindle is a bit thinner than the stock items.
Tie rod
Found out today my front tie rod is designed this way w/approx 3/4 in away from the boot. This keeps the steering from getting to far out of wack, better steering for the customer. (I guess I should read all instructions first) Thanks for the help, Dana

Shot grocer tackled assailant, police say
Garland: Juvenile in jail on robbery charge; man recovers in hospital
10:11 PM CDT on Sunday, July 22, 2007
By SCOTT GOLDSTEIN / The Dallas Morning News
A Garland grocery store owner who was shot in the hand and stomach tackled his 16-year-old assailant and held him late Saturday night until officers arrived, police said.
Andy Mistry, 43, was recovering Sunday after surgery at Parkland Memorial Hospital, said his wife, Anila.
Mr. Mistry and his 18-year-old son were closing A&M Food Store in the 300 block of South Barnes Drive about 11:45 p.m. when a teenager approached, Ms. Mistry said.
"They were ready to go home. They were about to leave, and he just came in and said, 'Give me the money,' " Ms. Mistry said. "He stuck the gun out and started shooting it.
"He didn't give any warning or nothing. He just started shooting," she said. She said her husband had no choice but to grab the assailant.
Police arrived a short time later and arrested the suspect, said Garland police spokesman Joe Harn, who declined to identify him because he's a juvenile.
He was charged with aggravated robbery and was being held Sunday at the Dallas County juvenile detention center, Officer Harn said.
The robbery was the first in the 16 years the family has owned the business, Ms. Mistry said.

In a new video David posted on the brand's MySpace page, he revealed that Courteney often advises him to wear "jeans that are tighter" and that their 4-year-old daughter Coco is itching to do some child modeling. This isn't the first we've heard of Coco's love for the spotlight, but we'll have to see whether she'll end up in front of the cameras like mom and dad.

Nice finish, excellent packaging I purchased two of these for my deck. They are definitely an orange-y rust color (not red), but that was what I was looking for. Both cartons arrived with a crushed corner so I feared there would be damage, but they are packed with multiple boxes inside boxes, separated by bubble wrap and there was no damage at all. These are nicely made and finished, definitely well made.

Love them! Totally happy with this product. I have used them outside all summer and they appear as new at this point. I am bringing them in for the winter, and have found a place to use them. I can't remember the price now, but felt it reasonable. Keep in mind that these are hand made. I bought two, and one is a bit higher than the other. I remind you of this only in the event you intend to try to make a table from two. Overall, I could not be happier.

Great Garden Stool This is an excellent buy. I wanted something that was red but not too red and here it was. It is a bit on the deep coral side. It looks great in my "Asian" living room.

Law Offices Of Todd M. Garber Announces Lead Plaintiff Deadline In The Class Action Lawsuit Against Kosmos Energy Ltd.
The Law Offices of Todd M. Garber announces that shareholders of Kosmos Energy Ltd. ("Kosmos" or the "Company") (NYSE:KOS) have until September 10, 2012 to move for lead plaintiff status in the shareholder lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a class (the "Class") comprising all purchasers of Kosmos common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's Initial Public Offering commencing on or about May 12, 2011 (the "IPO").
Kosmos engages in the exploration and production of oil and gas in South America and Africa, primarily in the deep-water Jubilee oil field situated off the coast of the Republic of Ghana. The Complaint alleges that the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Company's IPO were materially false and misleading and misrepresented or failed to disclose that: (1) at the time of the IPO, gross oil production from the Jubilee field was not on track to reach its design capacity by the third quarter 2011; (2) several Jubilee oil wells were not producing as expected due to design defects which existed at the time of completion and pre-dated the IPO; and (3) these design defects would cost the Company hundreds of millions of dollars to remediate, and prevent the Jubilee wells from meeting production expectations for several years.
If you are a member of the above-described Class, you may move the Court no later than September 10, 2012 to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time. You may retain counsel of your choice or take not action and remain an absent Class member. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this Notice or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Todd M. Garber, Esquire, of the Law Offices of Todd M. Garber, by telephone at 213-700-7262 or by email to email@example.com.

Casinos become a political gamble in Goa
Despite opposition, state says revenues are badly needed
Casino boats anchored in Goa's Mandovi river
- Bosco de Sousa Eremita, Panjim
- India
- August 20, 2013
India's largest floating casino opened recently in Goa, reinforcing a longstanding idea by state authorities to make this former Portuguese colony the country's own Las Vegas.
The four-deck vessel which can accommodate some 400 people is now one of six casinos anchored in Goa's Mandovi River, with another eight situated on shore in plush hotels.
The western coastal state known for its palm-fringed beaches was considered an ideal place to locate casinos when proposals were first mooted in 1997, because it attracts thousands of tourists from India and abroad. The first were up and running by 2000.
State authorities see them as a potential gold mine which provides many employment opportunities, but local people see things differently and have opposed the casinos on the grounds that the make people habitual gamblers, promote crime and are generally more trouble than they're worth.
"Casinos are actually a curse. My neighbor is having a tough time bringing up her kids because her husband has become such a compulsive gambler in these casinos. Their house is now up for auction," said Severina Pegado, a local resident from Santa Cruz parish.
Surendra Furtado, mayor of the state capital Panjim, has been leading protests against the casinos since June this year, saying government efforts to promote gambling ignore people's interests.
Much of his ire is directed at the casinos on the river. Not only are they morally wrong, they are posing environmental hazards, he says.
The corporation does not collect garbage from these casinos, which means they are dumping it in the river. "Fish consume this garbage and we eat this fish," said Furtado.
Some fishermen have admitted to having stopped fishing for personal consumption in the river because of the sewage being dumped in the river.
The State Pollution Control Board takes no action. "Licenses were given for so-called offshore casinos but they continue to remain docked in the river," lamented Agnel Nazarth, a Mandovi fisherman who says he has hung up his nets.
The government had originally intended the casinos to operate 12 nautical miles offshore, but the vessels are anchored in the river.
Alexio Reginaldo Lourenco, a state-elected representative, said the casino boats were not employing local youth as claimed by the government and demanded those who do not help local youth should be banned.
"The government is setting low governance standards by depending on casinos, dance bars and the drug trade for revenue. These are the new components of tourism under the government," he said.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claims it's not a fan of the casinos but says the state needs them at the present time.
Chief minister Manohar Parrikar recently told the media that casinos bring in US$25 million annually and that the state needs that money.
"If I close [the casinos] overnight, who will replace this money," Parrikar said recently.
However, the BJP's own coalition partner, the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party, also opposes the casinos.
"Casino culture or dance bars in no way define our tradition", even if they are supposed to contribute towards the state exchequer, party spokesman Lavoo Mamledar said earlier this month.
Goa People's Party leader Satish Sonak questioned whether the money generated was worth the "crime, prostitution, alcoholism and social tensions" that casinos generate.
But there are signs the state government might be finally responding to the criticism being leveled against it. Only last week the state cabinet decided to place a ban on new offshore casinos and those already operating would be given two years to relocate after their licenses expire next year.
With widespread local opposition to the casinos offset by the large revenues they bring, it remains to be seen which will tip the balance for BJP fortunes when election time comes again to Goa.

Customer Reviews Awesome game!This game is really great. Love the whole concept of it. Although more costumes and different guns earned with coins of some sort would be nice. Rather than everything just gems. Besides that, love the app. More power ups through the run would be pretty nice as well. However, the game always crashes when I open it up and when I finish a long run. I`ve been stuck on the same level for awhile due to the fact that it crashes right after I die. Please fix. Thank you Excellent runner shooterExcellent runner shooter CoolJust started playing, but so far this is fun Related - Games - Nightmare Runner 1.0.2
