Marriage records are some of the earliest records available in the United States that offer a wealth of genealogical gems. They may include the ages of the bride and groom, their residences, and sometimes a parent or other relative's name.
Modern marriage records can help us understand earlier records. If you are married, think about the variety of records leading up to the wedding. Did you go to the courthouse to apply for a license? Was a notice of the engagement, or of the wedding placed in a local newspaper? Were you married at a church, and did the church note it in their records? If married at the church, the pastor/priest/officiator was required to report his or her completion of that ceremony to the local court. If married civilly, was there a record of the wedding at the courthouse separate from that first license you applied for? Did the court and/or church give you a private certificate, suitable for framing? Did you send out invitations or annoucements? Were photos taken at your wedding? Did friends or relatives write or blog about the celebration? Looking at all these situations, we can see at least eight different types of records created about the event. Think of your ancestors' weddings in much the same way: if a record of the marriage isn't in one place, it may be in another.
Here's a very brief review of the types of marriage records that may be available in a variety of places:
State and Local Records
Marriage records are not federal records. They have always been maintained and governed by the county or state in which they occured. Investigate the laws regarding marriage in your ancestor's state and time period.
- Consents: Written parental permission for a child to be married, especially if underaged. Sometimes these are found to confirm that the child is of age.
- Marriage bonds: A financial contract to hopefully avoid litigation of the marriage is nullified. Usually signed by the groom and a male representative of the bride's family.
- Marriage banns: Church declaration or posting of an intended marriage, to give the congregation an opportunity to oppose the marriage if there is a just cause to prevent it, i.e. the groom has another wife in the next county.
- Applications: The application to marry often asks the bride and groom about ages, birthplaces, parent's names, and previous marriages. Check to see how early these were used in the county you're searching.
- License: Court approval of the marriage application. These are often found at the bottom of the application in most pre-printed court books. Note that the date of marriage application or license is not always the same as the date of the wedding!
- Minister's Returns: Sometimes these are separate reports from ministers or Justices of the Peace that a marriage ceremony was preformed. The clerk should be noting these at the bottom of the marriage application/license. If there is no return it may indicate that 1) the marriage did not occur, or 2) the minister didn't make it back to the clerk to report. If there is no return, you may need to look for other indications of co-habitation after the date of the license.
- Divorce Records: When couples break up, they make a lot of records. Early divorces were granted only on the state level, but were overseen later by county courts. Check Chancery and Equity records, or ask the clerk of the court.
Church Records
- Minister or Church Clerk books: Church records vary from church to church and often from one minister to another. The marriages may be recorded together, chronologically, or mixed in with other rites, such as baptism or burials.
- Church minutes: If there are no records of marriages, check the minutes for listings of members. Spouses may be referred to when they join or move.
- Wedding Annoucements: For my own grandparents, I found multiple news articles. There were at least two listings of bridal showers, the pre-wedding announcement, the post-wedding announcement, and an entire article on who attended and what they wore with a photo of the happy couple looking dubiously at a wedding present they'd just unwrapped. Thank goodness for small town newspapers! Don't forget to check for those silver anniversary announcements too.
Private Family Records
The wonderful thing about family records of weddings is that they are so diverse and can be held by so many different family members. Get to know second and third cousins who may have inherited unique memoribilia. These may include:
- Invitations
- Marriage Certificates
- Photos
- Journals and Letters
- Family Bibles
Take some time to "walk down the aisle" with your ancestors and search for their marriage records. Find out more by reading up on early marriage practices and customs. If your ancestors were of African-American descent, be aware that sometimes those records were kept separately. If your ancestor participated in the Revolution, War of 1812, or Civil War, look for evidences of marriage produced by widows and heirs in pension applications. For more information, read the wonderful article by Johni Cerny and Sandra H. Luebking, "Research in Marriage and Divorce Records" in the Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy. You can also check for online guides about marriage records that are specific to time periods or countries at FamilySearch.org. Happy Valentine's Day!

Also, note that porting an application from Direct3D to OpenGL isn't necessarily hardest part of porting a whole application from Windows to Linux. So even if you had something like native D3D support in Linux, there'd be tons of other items to work on for the game developer.
Meanwhile, all the effort that would've gone into desperately making G3D support D3D properly could've just went into improving Wine.

If you are looking to get away from schedules and distractions and just reconnect with your partner, Vermont has the solution.
You could choose a grand hotel, such as The Equinox Resort & Spa in Manchester, or The Woodstock Inn & Resort in Woodstock. These properties combine history, grandeur and a touch of casual elegance.
Or, you might opt for the intimacy of one the countless smaller properties. You can find them across from village greens, tucked at the end of winding dirt roads or perched high on a rolling hilltop.
In northern Vermont, consider the the Phineas Swann Bed and Breakfast, a most romantic pet-friendly inn, located on Montgomery Center's Historic Main Street. A comfortable inn with the gracious elegance of an earlier time can be found at the Governor's House in Hyde Park.
The central part of Vermont offers several romantic inns such as The Mountain Top Inn & Resort in Chittenden, located in the picturesque Green Mountain National Forest, or the Lilac Inn in the heart of Brandon. Or, consider Made INN Vermont, located in downtown Burlington. Southern Vermont's inns and B&B's make a great destination such as Bennett's 1815 House Bed and Breakfast in Reading. This Historic Landmark makes the perfect setting for romance. Or, picture a romantic candlelight dinner for two, at the Alexandra Inn, located in Bennington with splendid views of the Bennington Monument and the Green Mountains. Also, The Inn at Weston is a perfect romantic hideaway in the picture-postcard town of Weston.
No matter which one you choose, hospitality takes on new meaning as Vermont's innkeepers and hotel staff cater to your every desire. Breakfast in bed? No problem. Reservations at a nearby restaurant? Of course.
Whether for a surprise weekend Vermont is the perfect place to pop the question, renew your vows or perhaps even elope. Plan now using our romantic getaway packages.

Sorry to ask basic questions but I couldn't find an answer anywhere else here - is there any way to turn off the preview box that pops up when hovering the mouse cursor over a thread title?
September 10th, 2011, 07:47 AM #2
No, there isn't. It's a fairly standard tooltip for forums to have, so unless you find a way to disable them completely, then you'll have to put up with them.
All I can suggest is you don't hover your mouse over thread titles.
September 10th, 2011, 11:56 AM #3
Thanks for the reply. I don't see it at any other forums I use. It's just that as soon it's popped up once it then pops up very quickly over each thread obscuring the thread title. It's not a major fault but it does get on my nerves :/
September 10th, 2011, 11:58 AM #4
Which browser are you using, Ropie? Are you sure it's up to date?
September 10th, 2011, 01:56 PM #5
Anyway, I feel like I've said enough about this now - suppose I'll just have to live with it

Bath Fans
Bath fans bring fresh air into a bathroom properly ventilating and removing moisture. Not only does this make the space much more comfortable but removes bathroom humidity. A bath fan plays a critical need to protect the bathroom's interior walls and to prevent dangerous and unattractive mold issues.
Choose the proper size bathroom fan is just as important. Should the ventilation fan not be powerful enough, it will not remove the moisture adequately within a reasonable time frame. Conversely, a bath fan that is too powerful may be too loud or energy inefficient for the space. Over-performing bath fans can also take away too much heated air in the winter or cooled air in the summer. This comprises the energy efficiency of the house. Questions?

How to Select
Selecting the proper bath fan for your application is important to maximize the lifespan of the fan and parts.Bath Fan Manufacturers:
Deciding which manufacturer to purchase from is important. Often times, manufacturers use different quality parts based on the given price point. Economy grade fans may use less durable parts and may have a slightly shorter lifespan. Whereas, higher end models typically are quieter, last longer, and have more power.CFM Rating:
The CFM rating of a bath fan refers to Cubic Feet per Minute. This is the volume of air that is moved by the fan during a 60 second period. The CFM rating is important in case you are installing the fan in an area requiring quick ventilation, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Bath fans that have a higher CFM rating will be able to remove smoke and steam much faster than less powerful fans. For small areas such as single bathrooms, a 50-100 CFM fan will suffice, however, for kitchen applications, for large bathrooms, or steam rooms, higher power models are recommended.
Duct Size:
Most bath fans use a 4" duct to output the air from the fan. If you are replacing a bathroom fan, you will want to check the exiting duct size that is being used by your ventilation system to reduce further modifications. If your exiting duct size is limiting the amount of air flow through your system, you may consider using a larger diameter duct to reduce air pressure in your system.Bath Fan Types:
At Westside Wholesale, we sell many types of fans based on your preference. Combination bathroom fans include features such as night light, heaters, and humidity sensors depending on your needs.Fan Loudness & Noise:
Bath fans come in several ratings of noise level from Standard to Super Quiet. The output noise level is rated in Sones, to give a accurate measure of what to expect from your fan. Super Quiet bath fans can reach a Sone level as little as <0.3 Sones. At this level, the fan is virtually silent and produces less than 1/3rd the noise of a running refrigerator. The Sone level has a direct impact on the price point of the fan, meaning that less expensive fans typically generate more noise.Installation Application
If your application is a retrofit, than it is important to make sure the dimensions of the fan you select match the dimensions of the fan to be replaced to reduce rough in time and effort. It is also important to know if the fan is hardwired or if it has a standard outlet plug.

We present a structure theorem for a broad class of homeomorphisms of finite order on countable zero dimensional spaces. As applications we show the following. \begin{compactenum}[\rm(a)] \item Every countable nondiscrete topological group not containing an open Boolean subgroup can be partitioned into infinitely many dense subsets. \item If $G$ is a countably infinite Abelian group with finitely many elements of order $2$ and $\beta G$ is the Stone--\v Cech compactification of $G$ as a discrete semigroup, then for every idempotent $p\in\beta G\setminus\{0\}$, the subset $\{p,-p\}\subset\beta G$ generates algebraically the free product of one-element semigroups $\{p\}$ and~$\{-p\}$. \end{compactenum}

Everybody loves a triple-threat: the actor who can also sing and dance. It really is a special gift of a person who can do all three, and do it well. Heck, sometimes we get so excited at the possibility of a triple-threat that we'll even let the lesser ones, well, slip through. And sometimes, the means-well-but-shouldn't take it upon themselves to attempt triple-threat status. And even though we may love these actors so, it doesn't forgive them of the fact that their attempts to achieve greatness were, well, a bit flawed.
But there's something to be sad and something to be learned from these performances: what not to do when your director asks for a jazzy dance number, an introspective singing scene on a beach, or even—gulp, we hope not—the use of song and blackface come into play. Sometimes even in comedy, the musical addition (or the person performing it) can miss the mark. So you do your best, because you're an entertainer, verdamnit! It's what entertainers do: anything to please the movie-going masses!
We know it's hard to do—act, sing, dance, all while trying to bring your best moments to screen? That's got to be a challenge unbelievable in scale. When everybody's watching like that, it's easy to think a tiny misstep may go unnoticed. But when they don't? Well, then it can sometimes blow up in people's faces. And, hey! We've all had moments like that in life, right? It's part of being human, the imperfections! Some just have skills that others don't, and that's fine. So let's sit back and have a quick laugh at some of the most absurd, ridiculous, or just flat-out terrible musical moments in movies. It's a group effort, after all!
Russell Crowe in Les Miserables
Oh Russell. You meant so well, didn't you? When you decided to sing in this very affected manner? We know you have a band (previously called 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, now called Russell Crowe & The Ordinary Fear of God) and all that, but rock music has a bit more leeway than your run of the mill, iconic musical number. But when you put on that accent and attempted to sing. Well, my poor, dear fellow: it didn't work. Not for a second. It felt put-upon and maybe a little (we hate to say it) community theater-esque. Better luck next time, Mr. Crowe?
Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn
Bing Crosby can sing, y'all! Let's just get that out of the way first and foremost. He can sing, he's fabulous—every time he opened that mouth of his, greatness would come out. We're not arguing about that fact. It's just that, well, looking back at it now: a song about Abraham Lincoln, done at a party, in...blackface? Yeah, call us old-fashioned (or decidedly not), but that just doesn't really fly well with us, even if it was made in a time where that sort of thing was acceptable. Now poor Bing looks like a right old fool along with everyone else in the clip. Yikes!
Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia!
Oh, Mr. Bond. For someone as cool, calm, and collected as you, it seems hardly fair to scrutinize you after wanting to let loose a little bit. But! This is the Internet, so judge we shall. And the verdict? Not good, Mr. Bond. Not good at all. It's hard going up against a flawless powerhouse of entertainment queendom like Meryl Streep, but something tells us a different song may have served you better. Or no song at all. Can we have an actor in a musical movie not sing? That's like asking the sun not to shine! And so shine on, he tries, Mr. Brosnan does. This might've been a mission too extreme for even the almighty MI6.
Next: Hearts Pop! and Stallone is Drinkinstein
Hugh Grant in Music & Lyrics
The 80s were a time. Man, were they ever a time. Even if you can't remember them personally, you certainly remember their impact: synths and sugar-sweet pop music dressed in outlandish, bold clothing. Enter: Hugh Grant (and...is that? Yep! It is! Jason Street (Scott Porter) from Friday Night Lights got in on the action, too!). A heartthrob in his own right, perhaps singing wasn't the best choice. Especially singing cheesy lyrics about your heart exploding. Watch out or it'll be Pop! goes your career, mate.
Sylvester Stallone in Rhinestone
This epic moment in Stallone's career starts out with our rhinestoned-out cowboy singing "Budweiser you created a monster / and they called him Drinkinstein." Not even the fairest maiden of them all could, Dolly Parton could save this wreck. Watch if you want to see Sylvester Stallone in a way that will change your opinions about him forever. Better luck next time, Sly. Stick to the action films in the meantime.
Everyone in From Justin to Kelly
OK, finding videos for this movie was a surprisingly difficult challenge, perhaps because FOX realized how embarrassing the whole charade was, or the actors involved are just mortified enough by the generic terribleness of it all that they have scoured the Internet, ensuring clips never make it into the world wide web. Either way, it's hard to pick just one terrible moment—though any time Katherine Bailess was singing would probably be a top contender. In its place, enjoy this scene that was actually cut from the film, making it the best of the worst? Singing-wise? Not bad, Mr. Guarini. But everything else? Inexcusable.
Next: mo Spider-Man can't stop, Bono is a walrus
Bono in Across the Universe
Sure, Bono, you may be a veritable musical monument, but it's everything else about this performance is just painful. From the Fu Manchu mustache, to the don't-quit-your-day-job bad American accent to the attempt at creating additional significance in a song better left to the Beatles? Bono done bad, you guys. He's just being Bono. And all the psychedelic color explosions? Come on, now. Too much in an otherwise lovely film. But seriously? Mangle a Beatles song and some may call for your head on a platter, Bono. His life surrounded by rabid Beatles fans ater this film is probably punishment enough.
John Travolta in Staying Alive
Seems like both John Travolta and our old buddy Sylvester Stallone are responsible for this next mess. Stallone directed Travolta in the almost universally-panned Saturday Night Fever sequel, Staying Alive, and from it came the epitome of everything awful about the 80s, and also misunderstanding what art really means. Enter: the finale dance sequels in the Broadway musical featured in the show. Yes, it's mostly dancing, but the whole disaster is such an attack on the senses, I think it's killed my sense of smell, and misplaced everyone involved's integrity. Yikes.
Tobey Macguire in Spider-Man 3
What happens when you make Spider-Man seem more than a little bit angsty and emo and put in him a jazz dance routine? Sam Raimi's abominable and infamous scene from the third film: dancing Tobey Macguire with a floppy haircut and guyliner. Look at him! Double-time! Piano-playing and dancing antics involving chairs! It's a literal embarrassment (emphasis on the 'embarrassment') of riches in horribleness. Even the shouts of "yeah, sexy!" from the crowd seemed forced and painful. Make it stop, Spidey! Make.it.stop.
What do you think of the moments we chose? Think of any others? Sound off in the comments!

Discussing: (Re) Building Roads
(Re) Building Roads

Original Post
General Audience
For two different but related story ideas, I need to ask some questions about the roads between Gondor and Arnor.
1) How far would it be from the front gates of Minas Tirith to where a camp for rebuilding the route between Gondor and Arnor be established? Would the terrain be gradually rising?
2) Supposing that Elessar has decided the best solution to two problems a) disposing of serious malefactors say a step below being executed for their crimes in a society where they probably do not have long term prisons, and b) rebuliding the roads to help knit together his two very different realms--and how to go about coming up with who's doing that is by sentencing those felons to stated periods of labor on the roads has opened up a whole raft of ideas and questions about how this is going to happen. I don't mean methods of roadbuilding per se, or the tools used, but in arranging for this to happen. That brings me to wondering how far a coffle of say, 20 chained men, afoot, would be able to get, on average, per day over fairly level ground, since I realize that depending on weather, roughness, etc., it'd be less. This is supposing the group also includes an officer on horseback, several guards on foot who possibly are urging them on with whips, and a support staff including teams of mules and wagons containing supplies. How far could they go per day? How many wagons would they need? Note: This is not transporting materials for the building, but basic supplies for the journey.
Thank you in advance for your help! And please bear in mind that I'm new here, so if this has been covered in previous threads, or I overlooked some other relevant source, I'd appreciate those being pointed out to me!

Interesting questions, and I look forward to the stories you have in mind...
I assume that for question 1 you mean an initial camp, because as the work continues, the camp would have to move. Looking at Fonstad's maps, the distance from the gate of Minas Tirith to the Rammas Echor going north, by road, is ten miles. Your initial camp could be anywhere beyond that point, depending on how bad you assume the road close to MT to be. The road seems to run parallel to the White Mountains, so a fairly up and down terrain I'd say, even if slopes would be gradual (assuming that ancient Gondorian roadbuilders used some common sense).
For how fast chained prisoners would move... - assuming that they have their legs free, I'd say it depends to some degree on how they are treated (rest breaks, number of hours walking per day, how hard they are urged on). I'd estimate basic walking speed for a group thus chained at somewhere around 2 miles/3 kilometers per hour.
Factoring in the supply carts (mules or horses), googling gave me a distance of around 13 miles per day for an army unit with supplies (Alexander the Great), which I assume includes time needed to care for the animals along the way, and things like making camp at night.
A few more thoughts
- For materials (rocks), the road does run fairly close to the White Mountains, so materials might be transported to depots along the road from quarries, independent of prisoner movements (unless they're put to work in these quarries as well).
- Also, something that's not a problem within Anorien, but after Anorien the North-South Road does run through Rohan for a considerable distance, and I wonder whether (again, assuming that maintaining that part of the Road would be Gondor's responsibility) the Rohirrim would be keen on significant numbers of (presumably fairly dangerous) convicts on their land.
- How many prisoners of this category would there be? And where would the line between execution-hard labour-prison be drawn?

Thank you for replying!
Yes, my initial idea was a base camp that would add additional ones as the work moved north, but now that I have been reading Morwen Tindomeril's fanfic, it also occurs to me that there could also be a sea/river component, which I will need to consider more. Since my main character in this fic, the main person directing this project, is a newly created lord of Gondor with a townhouse in MT, for part of the time, it would be handy for him to be able to reach the base camp easily from the city. Brilliant! Thank you! (Clearly, I also need to spend more time with maps and the Atlas!)
How the prisoners are treated will depend in part on who is shepherding them north....and various conditions/factors surrounding their trek. I would imagine that the first few will have it the worst.
Alexander the Great--sheesh, I should have thought to ask my husband, who has spent the last 2 yrs becoming an expert on him and his times! By osmosis, I now know a lot more about him myself....8^) BTW, he is curious as to what source you used; he thought, optimistically, about 15 mi/day.
As to your points:
- Yes, the quarries,. Haven't decided whether or not the prisoners will work there too, although it isn't unlikely some of my characters's supervising personnel will visit them, and possibly try to recruit some help.
- Rohan IS something to consider. However, given that I am basing the fundamental idea of Elessar's disposing of some prisoners by this method (from reading some of Larner's work) and knowing as he does the usual route, surely he might have discussed this with Eomer (is there a way of putting accents in these posts?) before the Court in which the sentencing was done. Still, the first group may run into some difficulties if this isn't well-known to the Rohirrim....But how is an Easterner, Southron, or for that matter, most Gondorrim, going to seamlessly fit into Rohirric society if they escape? Some of these felons are high-born, some are upper-level bureaucrats who went off the rails, and some are captured prisoners who aren't going to be ransomed, or who aren't going to be drafted into the army in peacetime (yes, I know it isn't exactly peacetime at this point, but a lot of military must have been aware that their numbers would lessen, until Elessar got around to an active war on his borders.) Meanwhile, he needs to do something with these people, he strikes me as a very pragmatic sort--why waste possible resources? One character, sentenced to labor, is going to find himself doing work closer to his original occupation, simply because it's needed.
- At an early point, the main character asks how many, and is told a rough estimate of 5,000. I also think that this may be augmented by non-prisoners who are otherwise displaced by the War, for whatever reason, looking for a new life. Elessar will want to recruit settlers for the North, and there may be more Dunedain there than the Gondorrim think. Would 100,000 be a reasonable guess?
I apologize for sounding vague on a lot of this, but this was originally going to be a short story, and is now growing into a much larger, longer piece, so I am thinking aspects out as I become aware of them. Thanks again!--Barra

Hi Barra,
I'm afraid I didn't keep the link I used, but here's another one, which even goes into more detail: http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/gabrmetz/gabr000a.htm (I think we can assume Gondor has invented the horse collar…)
Population in the North: for my own world-building purposes 100.000 Dunedain in the North would be on the high side, but if you have a few larger towns (10.000 or so) you're fairly far along the way already.
(is there a way of putting accents in these posts?)
(or you can do it 'by hand' if you know the html codes: Click on "Click to turn HTML editor On/Off" and type the &-etc. code for the character you want)
Isn't it fun when a story runs away with you?

As for how to put accents in, my own fault for being in a hurry and not looking at the icons thoroughly. Thanks!

Hi Barrabird,
Tolkien does give some details relevant to hardened soldiers' marching capacity, how they carry provisions, and other considerations for a long journey. This might help give you ideas about how each day's walk would be organized (frequent breaks), how long they could walk each day (depends upon the season), how much baggage they'd need, and at least put a strong upper limit on how far chained soldiers could walk in each period. You could probably estimate how many pack horses it takes to equal the capacity of one wagon....
(A league is about three miles or five kilometers.)
"With Isildur went his three sons..., and his Guard of two hundred knights and soldiers, stern men of Arnor and war-hardened."
Unfinished Tales, Part 3, Ch 1, The Disaster of the Gladden Fields
"They needed some baggage and provisions in houseless country; for they did not expect to find any dwellings.... On the march each man carried with him two days' provisions...; the rest, and other baggage, was carried by small sturdy horses.... They had been tamed; but though they would carry heavy burdens (at walking pace), they would not allow any man to ride them. Of these they had only ten."
Unfinished Tales, Part 3, Ch 1, The Disaster of the Gladden Fields: Notes, Note 8
"[The] soldiers of the Dúnedain, tall men of great strength and endurance, were accustomed to move fully-armed at eight leagues a day 'with ease': when they went in eight spells of a league, with short breaks at the end of each league (lár, Sindarin daur, originally meaning a stop or pause), and one hour near midday. This made a 'march' of about ten and half hours, in which they were walking eight hours. This pace they could maintain for long periods with adequate provision. In haste they could move much faster, at twelve leagues a day (or in great need more), but for shorter periods. At the date of the disaster, in the latitude of Imladris (which they were approaching), there were at least eleven hours of daylight in open country; but at midwinter less than eight."
Unfinished Tales, Part 3, Ch 1, The Disaster of the Gladden Fields: Notes, Note 9
Hope this helps! Let us know when you finish your stories, they sound interesting....

Now I am waiting the printers to finish with book 2, and I'm working on book 3. I have sold 2 books overseas. I know that sounds like nothing, but I have no money to advertise, and here's the bomb everyone loves..I'm self published. I'd like to say hi to everyone on here. No matter if they are e-published or done the traditional way...we all love to write or we wouldn't do it. Am I right? We can't all have money and connections. Good luck to all of those that truly love to write!

Hi Everyone!
I'm new here! Well, I joined ages ago and posted a short story but life (read: kids) saw to it that I didn't have time for much of that lately. I love sci fi and fantasy, mostly anything with a good story, though probably firefly, stargate, star trek, supernatural, LOTR, Game of Thrones and NK Jemisin in particular. I'm hoping to right a good story or two myself one day. Looking forward to seeing everyone around the forums, when life allows!

Folk Legend Richie Havens Dead At 72
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Legendary folk singer and star of 1969's Woodstock concert and movie, Richie Havens, died on April 22nd of a sudden heart attack at age 72 at his home in New Jersey, according to Billboard. Last month Havens announced his retirement citing health problems. Havens, who was renown for his unique open tuning rhythmic strumming, will forever be remembered as the opening act to Woodstock. Havens was initially slotted to play fifth on the festival's opening day but was urged to perform until various musicians' equipment -- then stuck on the New York State Thruway -- arrived.
Attendees and later filmgoers will always associate Havens acoustic workout featuring the spiritual "Motherless Child" and "Freedom" as one of the defining moments of the festival. He went on to score only one Top 40 hit, a reworking of George Harrison and the Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun," which peaked at Number 16 in 1971.
Havens, who was a Brooklyn native, was a mainstay of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early-'60s, and originally mentored by songwriter Fred Neil -- best known today for writing "Everybody's Talkin.'" Eventually he attracted the attention of manager Albert Grossman of Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul & Mary fame, who secured him a contract recording for Verve Forecast. His breakthrough 1967 release, Mixed Bag, featured Havens' popular cover of Dylan's 1966 track "Just Like A Woman," along with "Handsome Johnny," which he wrote with close friend and actor, Lou Gossett, Jr.
Over the years, Havens, who often wore his civil liberties charity work on his sleeve, was seen on such TV shows as The Ed Sullivan Show, The Tonight Show, along with maintaining a heavy touring schedule. He appeared in the original 1972 stage production of the Who's Tommy, along with such big screen releases as Catch My Soul, Greased Lightning, Bob Dylan's ill-fated return to acting, Hearts Of Fire, and director Todd Haynes' Bob Dylan film I'm Not There.
In January 1993, Havens sang at President Bill Clinton's inauguration and in 2000 published his memoir, They Can't Hide Us Anymore. He was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006. Havens is survived by four daughters, five grandchildren, and "at least one grandchild." A public memorial will be announced at a later time.

Winter at Fonthill
Chez Odette
Odette Myrtil, who played Bloody Mary in "South Pacific" on Broadway, opened Chez Odette's in the early sixties, when New Hope was the center of a star-studded universe. The Bucks County Playhouse was a testing ground for Broadway productions, and it drew some of the biggest actors at the time. When the shows let out, those celebrities typically headed for Chez Odette's, where the cocktails flowed freely and the sing-alongs around the piano extended deep into the night. On the evening of Sunday, October 23, 1983, NBC news anchor Jessica Savitch had a date with Martin Fischbein, Vice President of the New York Post. They dined at Chez Odette. Fischbein drove out the wrong exit and up the towpath of the old Delaware Canal. He veered too far to the left and the car went over the edge into the shallow water. The station wagon fell about 15 feet and landed upside-down, sinking into deep mud which sealed the doors shut, trapping the occupants inside as the water poured in. Rescuers found Fischbein's body still strapped behind the wheel, and Savitch and Chewy's in the rear. Odette's is now closed after being underwater three times during the floods of 2005 and 2006.
Sunrise - Moravian Pottery & Tile Works - 61
The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, completed in 1912, produced tiles and mosaics for floors, walls and ceilings.
Henry Mercer produced floor tiles for the rotunda and halls of the Pennsylvania State Capitol, depicting 400 scenes in the Commonwealth's history. His tiles adorn buildings throughout the United States and the world. The Tile Works was one of three poured concrete buildings built by Mercer.
Mercer Museum - 58
By 1897 handmade objects were being discarded in favor of new machine-made goods. Historian and archaeologist Henry Mercer recognized the need to collect and preserve the outmoded material of daily life in America before it was swept away by the Industrial Revolution. Mercer gathered almost 30,000 items ranging from hand tools to horse-drawn vehicles. Mercer decided to design and build a museum to display the artifacts. In 1916, Mercer erected a 6-story concrete castle to disply the collection. (Bucks County Historical Society)

Perfect Vacation Family Location!
My extended family and I just returned from a weeks vacation at this Cedar Lake home. The home is beautiful and very clean, with plenty of room for everyone. The yard is extremely private with a lovely deck facing the lake and huge front porch. The lake was great for fishing, swimming and water skiing. We would all highly recommend this home for other vacationers.
