The nautical nation is backed by the military might of an empire.
The mountainous republic is populated by farmers and shopkeepers, and it
has no standing army. The nautical nation is about to make the mistake
of attacking the mountainous republic.
Commando is a speculative fiction series that imagines what the South African Boer War could have been like if it had been fought on American soil.
The series is part of the Turn-of-the-Century
Toughs cycle.
On a hot summer's day, on a high hill surrounded by the enemy, the best battle-companion can turn out to be the truth.
Rook and Fairview have worked alongside each other for years, first as officers in the navy, then as officers on a steamship, and finally as colonels in an invading army. Members of a nation where tiny differences of rank are considered all-important, the two men defy convention by treating each other as equals.
But now their life-long bond is about to meet its greatest strain, when
they are ordered to seize and defend a hill whose landscape is unknown,
in the company of soldiers who may be incompetent or treacherous. Will
Rook and Fairview's friendship remain by the end of the battle? Or will
their lives take an unexpected detour as they struggle to survive on Spy

My daughter and I was there for breakfast on a Monday morning and our experience was spectacular the food was awesome I highly recommend this restaurant however my only complaint is the temperature of the food could have been warmer for me
Posted by Dr.J on 02/22/2014
The place is very busy, my first time I waited about an hour. Well worth the wait. The service was excellent from waitstaff, GM, owner & chef, The food was great. I will definitely go back again.
Posted by Dye on 02/14/2014
I love the food. The French toast and lobster omelettes are my favorite. We drive from the south side often to enjoy the staff, chef and especially the food!
Posted by Dhervy on 01/20/2014
Saw this on WTTW's "Check Please' decided to visit and give it a try. Went earlier Today Holiday). Was berated warmly by hostess and seated in waiting area for about ten minutes then seated. Nadine was our waitress, she was very informative and educated us on our menu options. Being our first time there we tried and shared four different entree dishes. We ordered the Pork CHop executive plate which was seasoned very well and tasted superb. We also ordered the Lobster omelet. Which also was unique but was good. We ordered the Chicken and waffles, the CHicken was well seasoned the waffle was so good it did not need syrup. And finally we ordered the flight of FrenchToast which gave a sampling of the various choices of French toast, the Carmel French Toast wasmy favorite . Our bill came out to about 71 dollars but we did splurge on the Lobster and Pork Chops. Overall our experience was totally positive and this place I will highly recommend. we arrived about 9:30 A.m. And by the time we left there was a line outside to get in. If there is a line the food must be good!!! And this was great. By the way we drove 45 minutes to get there.

My husband and I can't get enough of Batter & Berries. The French toasts are divine. All the flavors are delicious. I love the Caramel French toast and the Deconstucted Chicken Fajita Omelet. Perfectly done. Kudos to Chef and staff. They were very friendly and welcoming and the food is just fantastic.
Posted by Fred G on 01/06/2014
My fiancee and I decided to try this place after my sister, brother in law, and niece said it was good. Needless to say they did not lie. We hada great breakfast, and are planning on going back again and again. Excellent!
Posted by Barb on 12/30/2013
I had the Pork Chops with hash browns and scrambled eggs . . . was totally delicious! Was a very generous portion and I should have taken half home for later . . but I couldn't stop eating it. Only complaint would be the temperature of the food could have been hotter! Maybe they could lease or buy space next door to expand. It's about an hour away from me but I would definitely go back!

Description: Keywords:AF4, AF9, Alpha screen, inhibitor,peptide Assay Overview: This assay screens for inhibitors of the interaction of AF4 and AF9 . This is a homogeneous AlphaScreen assay that measures binding of a biotinylated AF4 peptide to FLAG-tagged AF9. The assay configuration comprises a 27-amino acid peptide biotinylated on the N-terminus. The selected peptide encompasses the portion of AF4 shown to be essential for AF9 binding, and an additional N-terminal sequence to provide a spacer between the binding site and the streptavidin-coated AlphaScreen bead. Binding of biotinylated AF4 peptide to FLAG-tagged AF9 protein is detected by streptavidin-coated donor beads and anti-FLAG-coated acceptor beads. If peptide and protein bind, the beads are brought in proximity; laser excitation of the donor beads results in singlet oxygen (1O2) transfer to the acceptor beads and light emission. If an inhibitor disrupts the peptide-protein interaction by competing with the biotinylated AF4 peptide for binding to AF9, singlet oxygen transfer fails to occur due to the increased distance between donor and acceptor beads. Expected Outcome: Inhibitor binding is detectable by a decrease in light emission Protocol 1. Compounds are delivered into Assay read plates (ARPs) including non-biotinylated AF4 peptide which will serve as the positive control in this screen 2. The plates used here are 384 proxiplates from PE. 3. A 2.5 X solution (5nM) of AF9-flag is prepared in 1x buffer and refreshed every 3hours. 4. A 2.5X solution (5nM) of Biotinylated AF4 (stock is 307uM) is prepared in two steps: step1- make intermediate stock of 3.07uM by diluting peptide in Citrate pH3 4uL into 396ul, first 4 ul peptide into 20ul citrate then bring up to 400ul in citrate. Step 2 make a 5nM stock in 1x buffer . 5. Make up a 5x stock (40ug/ml each bead) of alphalisa beads (biotin and antiflag beads). 6. Add 4ul of 2.5S AF9-Flag using a Combi dispenser. 7. Add 4ul of 2.5X Biotin AF4 using a Combi dispenser. 8. Incubate at RT for 1.5 hours. 9. Add 2ul of 5X beads using a Combi dispenser 10. Incubate for 1 hour at RT 11. read using Envision Readear. Buffer notes- 1. 1x assay buffer is 1xPBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% Tween 20 made up fresh daily 2. citrate buffer used to make intermediate stock of bio-AF4 is 0.5M trisodium citrate dihydrate pH3. Other assay notes- All reagents are kept on ice during the course of the screen Comment PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC) and positive control wells (PC) were included on every plate. EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal. NORMALIZATION: The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3): The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral controls (NC) is set to a normalized activity value of 0. A normalized activity value of 100 is defined as (2)(NC). A normalized activity value of -50 is defined as (0.5)(NC). Experimental wells values were scaled to this range. All well activities were then multiplied by -1 to create a positive activity readout value range, to match Pubchem convention. PATTERN CORRECTION: The plate pattern correction algorithm 'Assay Pattern (multiplicative)' in Genedata (v7.0.3) was applied to the normalized plate data. PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE: This was set as equal to the mean of the normalized and corrected sample replicate activities, rounded to the nearest integer . The minimum PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE required for a compound to be called a hit (the activity threshold, or AT) was set at -25%. PERCENTAGE OF ACTIVE REPLICATES: For each sample, the percentage of replicates (PCT_ACTIVE_REP) which had activity scores >= AT was determined. The minimum percentage of replicates required for a compound to be called a hit (PAR_T) was set at 100. PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME: Samples passing BOTH threshold criteria were assigned an outcome of 2 (active): PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T Samples passing NEITHER threshold criteria were assigned an outcome of 1 (inactive): PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T Samples passing AT only were assigned an outcome of 3 (inconclusive) : PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE >= AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP < PAR_T Samples passing PAR_T only were assigned an outcome of 2 (active) : PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE < AT, and PCT_ACTIVE_REP >= PAR_T Categorized Comment - additional comments and annotations From PubChem: Assay Format: Biochemical Result Definitions

L.A. Lakers Drama: Owners Jeanie and Jim Buss on Power-Sharing, Phil Jackson and Filling Dad's Shoes
Jim concedes that Jeanie is not consulted on basketball decisions but denies he wields unilateral authority. He insists the Lakers are a democracy that includes GM Mitch Kupchak, to whom Jim says he often defers. "I don't run the franchise," he says. "We run it as a family. I'm just a figurehead. I like it collective. Now I might have to put my name on a [decision], but I can't have the ego to make those calls alone."
Jim nonetheless is credited -- some say blamed -- with orchestrating events last season that contributed to the team's poor performance. Head coach Mike Brown was replaced five games into the season with current coach Mike D'Antoni instead of Jackson, who presided over the Lakers' past five titles. As Dr. Buss lay dying at Cedars-Sinai, D'Antoni and Jackson were approached about the job. Jackson thought he was being given time to mull his interest when he received a call from Kupchak saying D'Antoni had been hired.
PHOTOS: Slam Dunk! Hollywood's Best Basketball Movies
"The Lakers went into that week prepared to offer the job to Phil," says one source. "Dr. Buss may have rubber-stamped [the D'Antoni hiring], but he clearly wasn't at the helm. If he had been healthy and involved, that never would've happened."
It would have been Jackson's third stint with the Lakers. During his first, he molded Bryant and center Shaquille O'Neal into one of the most dynamic inside-outside combinations in NBA history, resulting in three straight championships from 2000 to 2002. The Lakers were upset by the Detroit Pistons in the 2004 NBA Finals, though, and Jim for the first time appeared to be ascending within the management team's hierarchy. With Bryant and Jackson at odds and Bryant a free agent, the Lakers dismissed Jackson. Jim was credited with orchestrating the hiring of Rudy Tomjanovich as coach as well as selecting center Andrew Bynum in the 2005 draft.
The Tomjanovich hire proved disastrous. The coach signed a five-year, $30 million deal but bowed out midway through the first season. That left assistant coach Frank Hamblen to mop up a 34-48 season, the only one of the past 19 in which the Lakers missed the playoffs. With Bryant signed to a new seven-year, $136 million contract and perhaps more appreciative of Jackson, the coach returned for the 2005-06 season for a six-year run and two more championships. Jim, meanwhile, receded into the background.
With Dr. Buss' health failing and Jackson announcing his retirement after the 2010-11 season, Jim returned to prominence and hired Brown, a much younger coach.
As the Lakers rushed to hire Jackson's successor, the rest of the organization was thinned out as NBA owners locked out players while negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. Nearly two dozen employees with a combined 100 years of experience working for the franchise were shown the door, including assistant GM Ronnie Lester after a 24-year run, members of the training staff and nearly the entire scouting department.
STORY: Kobe Bryant Unfollows Dwight Howard on Twitter After Lakers Exit
The Brown era was viewed akin to Tomjanovich's -- another misstep by Jim. The hiring of D'Antoni over Jackson, despite the Staples Center crowd chanting, "We Want Phil!" and Magic Johnson outright stumping for him in his role as an ESPN NBA analyst, was portrayed as Jim refusing to concede.
Jim denies that perception is reality. "I have zero problem with Phil, and Phil has zero problem with me," he says. And while Jim and Kupchak interviewed both D'Antoni and Jackson, Jim says the final decision was made by Dr. Buss. "Mitch and I interviewed Phil together and then reported back to my dad at the hospital for hours upon hours," he says. "He gave the final hammer; we just enforced it."
Jackson couldn't be reached for comment, but he told the Los Angeles Daily News in June that his relationship with Jim is "casual." The consensus is that Jackson has never taken Jim seriously. Jeanie's take on the rapport between her fiance and her brother: "Phil has a great relationship with Mitch."
The L.A. sports media sometimes portrays Jim as a slacker who inherited his father's tastes but not his business savvy, but he says those characterizations are outdated. "That playboy image is from 30 years ago, when Dad was out and I was hanging with him," says Jim, who lives with his ex-wife Tish and helps raise her two teen daughters. "As far as socializing, I hate to bore people, but I'm a stay-at-home guy. That's where I like to work. Have someone find out the last time I went to a club; the owners are probably all dead."
Still, while Dr. Buss often would attend predraft workouts and study the action (albeit with young women at his side), Jim, says one assistant GM, once was spotted streaming a horse race on his computer while scouting. Jim also once told Sports Illustrated that "if you grabbed 10 fans out of a bar," they could assess NBA talent as well as pro scouts do.
STORY: Time Warner Cable Sued Over Lakers and Dodgers Channels
But one league executive who has worked with the Lakers says Jim is underestimated. "Jim is an easy target," he says. "But he's smart, no question about it. He's smarter than Jeanie."
For all of their efforts to present a unified front, it seems awkward that Jeanie remains close with several of Jim's harshest critics. There's Jackson, of course, who shares with Jeanie his house in Playa del Rey and his ranch in Montana. Jackson has been fired, rehired then retired from the Lakers since they began dating in 2000, so there never has been a question about the relationship influencing Jackson's standing. But that might be because everyone knew Dr. Buss never would allow it.

While we've been pleasantly surprised by some favorable browser scores, we couldn't help sneaking another peek at the phone's (second) launch -- this time right in the center of London. We took the Orange Santa Clara San Diego for a spin on our latest benchmarks. See how Intel's new mobile processor fares against much pricier competition right after the break.
Orange San Diego | Samsung Galaxy S III | Motorola Droid RAZR | |
Quadrant | 3,648 | 4,454 | 2,357 |
Vellamo | 1,285 | 1,751 | 1,021 |
AnTuTu | 5,663 | 11,960 | 6,027 |
SunSpider 0.9.1 (ms) | 1,620 | 1,460 | 2,140 |
GLBenchmark Egypt Offscreen (fps) | 28 | 99 | 28 |
CF-Bench | 2,447 | 13,110 | 6,191 |
Running the phone against only the Galaxy S III sounds like it would be a cruel and unusual punishment, and of course that superphone wins on every count -- but the 1.6GHz Medfield phone still copes admirably. At a fraction of the price, we have some strong benchmark scores to go on, with the strange exception of CF-Bench. The SunSpider browser test results treads especially closely to Samsung's new flagship, tying in with Intel's explicit promise that good browsing was core to its aims for the mobile processor. The San Diego trumped the dual-core RAZR and its TI OMAP 4430 engine on several of our tests, despite having a slightly higher 600 x 1024 resolution and running Orange's proprietary skin (including gestures) on top of Android. The Quadrant score consists of a very strong memory component that appears to catch up with some bigger, badder and multi-cored Android rivals. All that we're waiting for now is the chance to test the much-lauded battery-life and do a full run-down with a review sample -- expect that pretty soon.

Townsend, P.D. and Holliday, P.M. and Fenyk, S. and Hess, K.C. and Gray, M.A. and Hodgson, D.R.W. and Cann, M.J. (2009) 'Stimulation of mammalian G-protein-responsive adenylyl cyclases by carbon dioxide.', Journal of biological chemistry., 284 (2). pp. 784-791.
Carbon dioxide is fundamental to the physiology of all organisms. There is considerable interest in the precise molecular mechanisms that organisms use to directly sense CO2. Here we demonstrate that a mammalian recombinant G-protein-activated adenylyl cyclase and the related Rv1625c adenylyl cyclase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are specifically stimulated by CO2. Stimulation occurred at physiological concentrations of CO2 through increased kcat. CO2 increased the affinity of enzyme for metal co-factor, but contact with metal was not necessary as CO2 interacted directly with apoenzyme. CO2 stimulated the activity of both G-protein-regulated adenylyl cyclases and Rv1625c in vivo. Activation of G-protein regulated adenylyl cyclases by CO2 gave a corresponding increase in cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation. Comparison of the responses of the G-protein regulated adenylyl cyclases and the molecularly, and biochemically distinct mammalian soluble adenylyl cyclase revealed that whereas G-protein-regulated enzymes are responsive to CO2, the soluble adenylyl cyclase is responsive to both CO2 and bicarbonate ion. We have, thus, identified a signaling enzyme by which eukaryotes can directly detect and respond to fluctuating CO2.

Re: Im buying a big boat! But i have never sailed
I hadn't sailed before either so took some dinghy lessons then bought a 34 foot Hunter. My problem was the boat was in Puerto Rico and I lived in Barbados. Couldn't find a crew so I took precautions (EPIRB, auto-pilot, good GPS and charts etc.) and single-handed her back to Barbados. Of course, the Caribbean isn't as busy as the English Channel or the ICW (for you US folk) but I never went below deck at night and cat-napped up top in full gear. I also kept a VERY close eye on the weather so I could run for one of the islands in case of trouble. One year later, I reversed the process as I got a job in the Bahamas - again, single-handed. She is still there and I'm going back for 3 weeks sailing starting tomorrow (yippee!) (currently in Saudi). Common sense, good precautions and a safety first attitude will take you a long way but no trip is ever the same twice. Italy should be do-able with the right planning and precautions and you only live once. Go for it and enjoy!

GRANBY – Writing samples obtained from Granby Junior Senior High School led to the Wednesday arrest of a 17-year-old female charged with writing a note last month that threatened a bomb was in the building.
Students and staff were evacuated from the building when the note was discovered on Oct. 22, brought to another school and were eventually dismissed.
State police attached to the Belchertown barracks and members of the state police bomb squad assisted in clearing the building.
The investigation led police to request a search warrant for writing samples from the school, according to a release issued by the Granby Police Department. The warrant was issued from the Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown and served at the school on Nov. 4.
The investigation included numerous interviews and the services of a hand writing analyst. Information collected during the investigation, along with the results of the handwriting analysis, led police to request an arrest warrant for the suspect, according to the release.
Police arrested Ashley Funk, of 340 East St., South Hadley, on Wednesday, the release states. She was charged with communicating a false bomb threat.
Funk was slated to be arraigned Wednesday in Eastern Hampshire District Court. Information on her arraignment was not immediately available Thursday.
Sgt. Mark Smith, Officer Barbara Fenn, who is a detective, and School Resource Officer James White conducted the investigation.

LaRoux Hildinger Baird
One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Portsmouth in months was that of Mrs. Thomas Baird, wife of a trusted employee of the Portsmouth Steel company, at Hempstead hospital Sunday morning. Troubled with quincy recently, Mrs. Baird thought to avoid a recurrence and to that end determined to have her tonsils removed. Kissing her children goodbye at 8 oclock, she smilingly entered an automobile accompanied by her husband and _____ in what was to prove a ride to her death, for two hours later she was a corpse, sleeping away while under the anaesthia , her heart failing before the operation could proceed. The pathetic death, moved the doctors and nurses to tears and relatives and friends upon learning of it were shocked beyond measure.
Mrs. La Rux Hildinger Baird was born in Du Bois, Pa., April 11, 1886. She was one of two children of John J. and Jennie Hildinger. Her mother dying when she was yet a small girl. Her father John J. Hildinger was a prominent citizen and merchant of McKeesport, Pa., and died from injuries received in an automobile accident last July near Bedford, Pa., when a machine in which he was riding skidded and killed five of the 8 passengers in the car. Mrs. Baird was a graduate of the McKeesport, Pa., High school and for some years was quite active in church and social life in that city. On the 5th day of June 1907 she was united in marriage to Thomas Baird as a result of their school day courtship. To them were born two children both of whom survive, Thomas Douglas, age six, and John J., age five. About four years ago they moved from McKeesport to this city and have since lived in their own home at 1923 Grandview avenue. She is also survived by her sister, Miss Virginia Hildinger who since the death of her father and since this last July has been making her home here. Virginia is now the only surviving member of that once happy family. The deceased was a member of Manly M. E. church of this city. She was a kind and obliging sister, a loving and dutiful wife, and a fond and affectionate mother. Mrs. Baird was a splendid type of Christian womanhood. The family certainly has the sympathy of the entire community in this their hour of bereavement. Short funeral services will be held at the residence this evening at 7:30 p.m. Rev. Gilliland of the Manly M. E. church will officiate. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon at the home of an uncle, Mr. Edward Farr at Du Bois, Pa. Interment will then be in the family lot at Du Bois, where now peacefully sleep both her father and mother. [The Portsmouth Daily Times., 26 Oct 1914, Sub. by Teresa Wilson Rogers]

Claudius Cadot
Another Pioneer Fallen.
Died on Saturday morning, May 15, 1875, Claudius Cadot, in the 82d year of his age.
Mr. Cadot was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, on February 17, 1793. His father--Claudius Cadot--and his mother (whose maiden name was Jane Bastine) were married in Paris, France, in 1790, and came to this country with a party of French emigrants very soon after their marriage. Their second child, and first son--the subject of this sketch--was the first male child born in Gallipolis. A few years later Mr. Cadot died and his wife having married again, came with her husband and three children in what is known as the French Grant in 1797. In 1825 Claudius Cadot was married to Miss Nancy Ball, who died in 1836. He was afterwards married to Miss Cynthia Stockham. She too was taken from him by death a few years later. For several years previous to his death he had been living with his daughter, Mrs. Hayward, at Wheelersburg, Ohio. On Tuesday morning, May 11th, he determinded to visit his son, who lives on the old farm on Pine Creek, six miles northeast of Wheelersburg. Immediately after his arrival, he was seized with a chill and soon prostrated.
Mr. Cadot had many friends, and but few, if any, enemies. A hard working, prudent and kind hearted man, he will be missed and mourned by all who knew him. We laid his body to rest upon a lofty and beautiful elevation on his own farm, in an inclosure surrounded by a massive stone wall, prepared by himself.--Ports.

Dennis Hirt
BODY FOUND--On Wednesday last the body of Dennis Hirt, a stone mason, was found at the river's edge, below Gaylord's rolling mill. He had been missing about two weeks, having been last seen about ten o'clock on the evening of December 29th. He had been drinking. The body was found several feet from the water, lodged in the ice, the river having receded and left it exposed. A severe cut was found over the right eye. It is supposed that he fell over the cinder bank and the bruise was received in the fall, rendering him perhaps, insensible. A coroner's jury was empannelled, which, after a full investigation, returned a verdict of accidental drowning. The deceased was about fifty years of age, and has a son engaged in business on Chillicothe street.--Portsmouth Times. [Gallipolis Journal, (Gallipolis, Oh.)

Frances Jennings
Mrs. Frances Thornton Jennings, one of the most lovable and kindly women, who resided with her daughter, Mrs. H.P. Henry, 1310 Center street, received the final summons Saturday morning about 1 o'clock to go to that realm from whose borne no traveler has ever returned. The death angel's call ended a beautiful life and relieved a slege of illness that has extended over the past eight years, during which time Mrs. Jennings has suffered five paralytic strokes, the final one coming into Friday night.
Mrs. Jennings was born at Dover, Ky, 76 years ago last July 30. She became a member of the Christian church when quite young and remained true to that faith until death. She was married to William H. Jennings when yet young. To this union three daughters were born, Mrs. W.H(?). Geary, 1300 Center street, at whose home she died, and Mrs. H.B. Rampo(?) Ottawa, O. (note: the article skips the name of the 2nd daughter Mrs. Henry at whose home she died)
Mrs. Jennings was one of a family of 11 children, 9 girls and 2 boys. One daughter, Mrs. Frank Boys of Chilo, Ohio, and two grandchildren Eugene and Billy Geary also survive.
Mr. and Mrs. Jennings moved to Carrs, KY, shortly after their marriage, where they lived until 1920 when to came to Portsmouth. Mr. Jennings died here in 1920.
In spite of her unfortunate illness, Mrs. Jennings was always cheerful and a joy to her family and friends. Her passing will bring the ?nge of sorrow to scores of hearts that had known and loved her.
The body will be taken back to her old home at Dover, Ky., where the funeral service will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larew Osborn, nephew and niece of the deceased. Rev. E.J. Meneham, pastor of Central Christian church of this city, will conduct the funeral service. Interment will be made in Dover cemetery. [Portsmouth Times, Aug 17, 1930 - KT - Sub. by FoFG]

Barbara Funk Micklethwait
Death of a Pioneer Lady
Mrs. Barbara Micklethwait, relict of Joseph Micklethwait, died at the old homestead in clay township Wednesday night, aged nearly 87 years. She was the daughter of Martin Funk, who with his family moved to Scioto county about ninety years ago, and settled at Old Town, above Unionville. There, Mrs. Micklethwait was born. At the time of her death she was undoubtedly the oldest native of Scioto county. When she was quite young her father built the present red brick homestead on the banks of Lawsons run and moved into it, and there our subject was reared and married, and spent her long life. Though well to do she never cared to travel, or leave for any length of time the home of her childhood. In her young days she married Joseph Micklethwait, a worth young blacksmith from England. They occupied the old homestead and six children were born to them, all of whom are living except Joseph, who died young. The father died about 1851. The living children are John Martin, Richard, William and Elizabeth. William and family occupy the homestead, and his sister makes her home with them.
Jacob Funk, a brother of the deceased, built a brick house on the site now occupied by the Stewart residence, nearby, and there raised a numerous family of children, none of whom now live in this locality. Another brother was John Funk, (familiarly known as Jack Funk) father of Samuel and Asa Funk, and who lived at the head of what is now Jackson street. Deceased was a quite Christian lady, domestic and kind, caring nothing for display, and only desiring to rear her children properly and see them get on in life. In her old age she seldom went out, but her home was the center of hospitality and her visitors were many. She was a member of Sixth Street M. E. Church, but was seldom able of late years to attend service. In her younger days she was a substantial pillar, religious and financial, of the older Methodist churches. The funeral took place yesterday forenoon from the residence, Rev A. W. Fagan officiating. [The Portsmouth Times, Saturday, 18 Aug 1888 - Submitted by Teresa Wilson Rogers]
Joseph Timmonds Micklethwait
Funeral Services for Well Known Attorney Will Be At Church
Funeral services for Attorney Joseph T. Micklethwait, who died at Mercy hospital Saturday at 2:15 p.m. after a brief illness of heart and kidney complications, will be held at Trinity M. E. church Tuesday at 2 p.m. with Rev Arba Martin officiating. Joseph Timmonds Micklethwait was born in Portsmouth, O., Feb. 5, 1879, the second son of William R. and Abigail Micklethwait who were pioneer settlers of this city and under whose sturdy parentage he was permitted to spend his boyhood days on the old Micklethwait farm, now a part of this citys residential section. As a boy he attended the public schools and after about three years in high school, he was permitted to attend Ohio university at Athens, where he secured about three years of college preparatory work, after which he attended Western Reserve at Cleveland and graduated from the school of law in 1903, being admitted to the bar the same year. Active in College Sports As a student in Western Reserve, he was always interested in athletics and was captain of their football team for two years during which time he established an enviable record for good sportsmanship and leadership.
After his admission to the bar he returned to Portsmouth, entering the office of Capt. N. W. Evans, with whom he was associated until the death of his senior partner. Later he was associated with Judge Dow James and Edgar Millar and for some time past he had been the senior member of the law firm of Micklethwait and Littleton. He was prosecuting attorney for Scioto county 1915 to 1918, serving two terms in this office. Dec. 28 1914 he was married to Virginia B. Hildinger of McKeesport, Pa. the wedding taking place at DuBois, Pa., where Mrs. Hildinger was visiting at that time. As a child he entered the membership of the old Sixth street M. E. church, through its cradle roll and had maintained a close allegiance to his church, now Trinity M. E. throughout his entire life time. Was Post Commander As a lodge member he was active in all the local Masonic bodies, having been Eminent Commander of Calvary Commandery No.13 and was also a 32nd degree Mason haven taken those degrees at Cincinnati, O. In business his advice and counsel was earnestly sought so that he became actively engaged in the management of several successful business enterprises. He was for years secretary of The Portsmouth home Telephone Co. until it became owned by interests from out of the city. He was secretary of the Carrs Fork Coal Co. Inc. in which company he was much interested. He was also vice president of the Imlustrial Loan Co. with which company he was associated for a number of years.
Found His Niche
He leaves a devoted wife, into whose very life he had woven his love and companionship, two brothers, Dr. W. D. Micklethwait of Summit Street and Dr. O. R. Micklethwait of Scioto Trail, one sister Mrs. Louise M. Marshall and his mother, Mrs. Abigail Micklethwait as immediate relatives.
Joe as his intimate friends knew him had a personality that made for him friends, upon whose memory was made that imprint of his sunny disposition. To know him was a privilege, to enjoy his friendship was wholesome and to those whose lot it was to be closely associated with him, he bore a fellowship that is indeed long to be cherished.
As a lawyer, a business man, a church worker, or in lodge or politics he found his niche and having found it, he met with eagerness its every requirement, so that he has well merited that which all earnestly seek, a satisfaction of a Deed Well Done.

William Runyon Micklethwait
William R. Micklethwait, One of the Citys Pioneer Citizens, Is Called By Death
The community will learn with deep regret of the passing of the venerable William R. Micklethwait. After an illness of some five months in which everything was done for him that loving care could suggest, age proved the conqueror. He died Tuesday evening at 7:20 oclock at his home, Summitt and Twenty-first streets. At the time of his death he was in his eighty-fifth year. Mr. Micklethwait was born in the old brick house which formerly stood on the northwest corner of Grandview and Twenty-first streets, and his long and useful life was so ordered that it was lived on the same plot of ground upon which he was born. He was a grandson of Martin Funk, one of the first of the pioneer settlers of Scioto county and a large land owner along with what is now know as Lawsons Run. He was the last surviving child of Joseph and Barbara Micklethwait, three brothers John, Martin, and Richard, and a sister, Elizabeth all having died before him. His father died in 1850 and his mother in 1888.
In his youth he attended the old red school house so famous in its day, which stood near where the Terminals are now. This was the best of the local schools of its time. In the late sixties he engaged in the gardening business with his brother Richard. He continued in this until 1880, when, because of increased production and the shipment of southern vegetables to this market, he turned to dairying and was engaged in the dairy business from 1900 to 1907. He then sold his business and leased his farm to the Pure Milk Company, which continued to operate the dairy until the Micklethwait farm was subdivided into building lots. In, 1873, Mr. Micklethwait was married to Miss Abigail Dever in the old Dever homestead in Madison Township, near the Jackson county line. He was the father of three sons, Doctors William D. and Oscar R. Micklethwait and Attorney Joseph T. Micklethwait and one daughter Mrs. Leon G. Marshall, with whom he resided at the time of his death. Mrs. Abigail Mickelthwait, for so many years his faithful wife, also survives him. On January 6, 1923 they had the happiness of celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Mr. Micklethwait was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal church, having in turn been a faithful and prominent member of Spencer Chapel, Sixth Street, and Trinity churches. He was a lifelong and consistent Republican, having pride in that his first vote for president was cast for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. He never sought office, refusing all appeals to enlist in political candidacies, but served many years as a member of the Board of Education and as treasurer of Clay township. Mr. Micklethwait was a firm believer in the future of Portsmouth, and lived to see the small town of 1843, then all west of Chillicothe street, grow up till lit embraced and surrounded all his land in the eastern part of the city. He lived as well to see it reach the fifty thousand population which he so firmly believed was to come. He aided materially in this growth and advancement in many ways. He loved his work of gardening and dairying and had the attachment for the soil which only those can feel who have spent their entire lives upon it. The funeral services will be held at the home Friday afternoon at two oclock, the Rev. Arthur Staples of Trinity M.E. church officiating. Interment will be in the new mausoleum in Greenlawn cemetery.

Stupid Haters (i need to rant)
View LOCALOCA's Sparkpage

Thursday, March 15, 2012
For those of you that dont know, my gaurdianshipped son is MExican and American Indian. I am 2nd Generation Scottish (or in other words, im REALY white. lol) I can THINK about going outside without sunblock and get a sunburn.
Anyways, Me and K (who will be 4 in July) were at the store tonight and there was this Hispanic couple that kept looking at K and then looking around the store, over and over. I was watching them because they seemed to be paying to much attention to my son.
Finally the woman (who didnt speak much english) came over and asked me if K was mine. I told her yes, and she went over and started speaking spanish to him. This scared him and he ran over to me and held my hand. I explained to her that he didnt speak spanish. I didnt go on to explain this but, K only started speaking at all less than a year ago. he was so badly neglected that his speech was extremely delayed, and i have been taking him to speech specialists and he started preschool to help him. He does talk alot now, but not up to typical 3 year old standards.
This woman flipped out, and when and was ranting at the man that she was with in Spanish. Now i am not fluent in spanish, but i know enough to know that she was calling me horrible names "Chancha Puta" (Fat Pig Whore) and that she was obviously not happy that K couldnt speak spanish and that he had a white Mom.
Ok, so its better for him to be with bio mom? Who is a big time druggie alcoholic, who tried to kill him. Who couldnt be bothered to buy formula, even though she got wic and jsut gave him cow milk or water to drink. Who drugged him with baby meds so he would sleep all the time, so she wouldnt have to deal with him. Who would leave him alone in the house at 8 months of age so she could go party. Who would hit him because he cried. Who neglected him so badly that he didnt know his name or even how to SMILE when i got him at 8 months. But she is the right color to raise him RIGHT
With me K is happy and healthy and well taken care of and Loved! He can feel safe in his house, and is just the sweetest most loving child. I love him more than anything, and i make sure that he knows it, and that he is well taken care of. I would do anything for him, he is my son. Even if i didnt give birth to him. But apperently im the wrong color to do it right.
I jsut hate it when people think that they know what is best for others without even knowing what is going on in their lives. It just made me so angry how furious it made this woman. It isnt any of her business, and im not even sure of K would be alive right now if he was still with bio mom. I usually try to just slough off any comments that i hear but this woman tonite really struck a nerve.
Thank you for listening to me Rant, and if i offended anyone i am truely sorry. I do not mean any disrespect to anyone, i am just ranting about and against K's biological mom and the woman at the store tonite.
Me and MY Baby

I wouldn't have handled that quite so calmly.
I was so appalled reading this that I cried and I swear if I had been anywhere near that ignorant woman I would have told her right off.
I have an attitude problem though...
Sorry that you had to deal with THAT. I hope you see her again so that she can see the happiness in those pictures!!

Ugh!!! I would have been so mad too!!! What awful, small minded, horrible people. I would have been wishing I spoke Spanish just to tell them off!
I have never heard your story but I am so glad you shared it the happy pictures of you and your son are fantastic! And honestly made me cry. I grew up as a neglected kid and I would have given anything for a super mom like you to come in and rescue me and my siblings. Stay strong and forget the haters...you are a HERO!

My love.. dont ever apologize for going off when you want/need to. Racism.. makes me furious!! My son is mixed, but birthed by me. He obviously looks like me and his father both, but still sometimes people give me strange looks (because he is much darker than I am) when he runs up "Mom! I love you!!" But my son loves ME, not my skin, nothing else. I take care of him, raise him, love him.. no matter what I look like or my blood.. he loves ME.
I think you are the best thing that ever happened to K. He is SO lucky to have you in his life and you are 908409238423 times better than the woman that gave birth to him. That's the only good thing she did. The rest, she has to answer to God for. K is a good boy and you are doing a fantastic job with him. Of COURSE you are offended when someone is negative toward you. You call him your son. He IS your son!! GOOD for you for having those emotions and fk anyone that doesn't like it. You never have to bite your tongue. Say your peace. I have your back, ALWAYS!!!!!!
These types of ppl make me sick. You are doing a fantastic job and I'm so proud of you. Keep it up, babe. Love you!!!!!!!! XOXOXO
P.S. Love you, K. Please kiss your beautiful mom for me! She's one of the good ones and deserves some love for it!! :D

Stupid haters for sure. Sorry this happened to you, it is so obvious he should be with you by all the pictures of your son looking so happy and loved, that lady needed to keep her mouth shut.

This makes my heart hurt...bigotry and racism cuts across all demographics and it makes me sad.
Your son is adorable and has the sweetest smile, you are doing a great job with him and never doubt for a second that he isn't better off WITH YOU. YOU ARE HIS MAMA, nothing changes that, in my mind.

Damn bigots! Small minded and just nasty. Love the pics and the "war paint"- very distinguishing and classy! Ks smile says it all!

Well he sure can smile now!
I think I've told you about my son...if not, just a brief background. I had him 13 yrs ago (next month) and there were complications during labour & delivery that left him with brain damage. He was so sick when he was finally delivered that he was on life support. You would think that his health would have been the biggest concern to the nurses and doctors that were caring for me & my son...but apparently the colour of his skin was more important. My son was half African...and like you, I am super white. I am Irish & Belgian. It is ridiculous what people think is important. I had a friend with me in the hospital who was also white. After my son was delivered one of the nurses went to my friend and quietly told him that she didn't know how to tell him that the baby was black...I friend simply said " I knew that b*tch was cheating on me"...lol. My friend is gay, and a smart a$$.
K is happy, healthy and soooo loved. That is what is important!

He's absolutely adorable with just the best smile ever - thanks to you he can smile and feel loved and safe. It's a shame how people's ignorance dominates them sometimes.
I'm also constantly amazed how people can't grasp the concept of inter-racial families (be it guardianship/adoption/mixed marriage - which is our family) in this day and age. Fortunately, my son is at a very racially diverse school where kids and even parents just don't really see the races - just people. It's nice. But I when I'm out with my family who are Chinese (my husband and his family) I've been mistaken for the nanny so many times because people just don't use their brains to think 'oh, jeez, this could be a happy mixed family'. Some days it gets me but most days it doesn't. But honestly, with the reaction that lady had I would have been quite upset myself. She was really over the top.
Sorry you had that experience.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office is receiving reports that a scam that made the rounds in the region last year has resurfaced.
In this scam, you get a phone call from someone claiming to be a relative in distress or the friend of a relative in distress. Grandparents are common targets. For instance, the caller will sometimes claim to be the friend of a grandson who has been arrested and needs money to make bond, or a family member whose wallet was stolen and is now stranded without cash.
Well-meaning people trying to help out someone in need have been victimized by these type pleas. If you're unsure whether the call is legitimate, try to get as much detailed information as possible that only the relative would know, (not just basic family information). Also, verify the distress story through another trustworthy source that you can contact.

Scorpio man is a volcano. Do not play with him in bed! If you are what he wants and he will be the only one that knows it, you will have a man yours forever. If you're not, you'll temporarily or completely possible share him with at least two or three partners. Scorpios love sexwith power. They want to control every part of your body but also your mind. Sex commands from him, should be acceptable for you! You simply obey. They like practices with the complete subordination of the female body and if you resist too much, they will not hesitate to take you with them!!
In the relationship can allow you to analyze issues of high spiritual value, but when you get to sex, everything is primitive d! Generally, sex is pretty violent and they want instant gratification. When everything is quiet and romantic, he will grab you and drag you violently in bed. The earthly and completely minimalistic instinct of Scorpio man will come up, he will make you forget your tact and discretion and you will be surrendered to him.
Scorpio is sensitive and he is often emotionally involved in sex. He is modest and he needs confidence. If he overcomes his reticence, he can make his wild fantasies come true. He is expressed by the eyes and touchment and he does not like to talk during sex. He hides tension and mystery. He does not consider sensuality and passion only in the sexual act. He likes foreplay and every kind of sex except boring sex. He has no boundaries and taboos. He has fantasies that wants to practice them. He is impulsive and passionate, loyal and trustworthy. He knows the techniques of lovemaking. He can feel and sense what his partner wants.
They are possessive and they also hide their feelings. They show themselves, slowly. Scorpio looks calm and sometimes outlandish but in bed is the perfect lover. Love and desire are important to him. He explores the dark areas of sexuality, the depths of the soul. He likes to experiment and knows how to send you in the seventh heaven. Sex gives energy to him while routine kills him. He is attractive, he fascinate his partner, and he loves beautiful smells. He wants to feel that you belong to him entirely. If you flirt with another partner, you've lost him. Involved in love affairs, often frivolous. His sadomasochist tenses are developed! He likes kinky underwear and body oils especially with flavors. He likes bite, lick, cuddly on his thighs and oral sex. His erogenous zone is his genitals.

Racquet Specs |
Overall, it is a very solid all court frame. I generally don't like the feel of Wilson racquets because of the stiffness, but this racquet was surprisingly comfortable! The frame still had a crisp feel when I made good contact with the ball. The string pattern offers good control to help take away some of the power of the racquet, I prefer a more open string pattern for additional spin, however; this tighter pattern did not affect the spin of the ball that much.
Groundstrokes The racquet offered solid power and control off of both the forehand and backhand. The racquet was extremely easy and had a "whippy" feel and I was able to generate good pop and spin on the forehand and with my one handed backhand. Also, the slice backhand was very nice off this racquet; the ball penetrated the court and spun out to the side quickly.
Serve This racquet serves a very nice flat ball. I tend to hit my serves with a lot of spin and save the flat serves as a change of pace, since my hard flat serve is pretty low percentage. However, with this racquet I went the opposite direction and was able to hit a lot more flat out wide and down the T, which surprisingly went in on a consistent basis. It had very solid directional control on flat serves. My kick serve was also very effective and popped up above the shoulder! The one place I struggled was with my slice serve, I couldn't seem to generate the pop I needed to get that good slice out wide that I love.
Volleys The touch felt a little off and I felt a little disconnected from the racquet. Punch volleys and swinging volleys were decent, but touch shots volleys were a little harder to come up with. The ball tended to sail a little bit on me. So if there was a weakness for me with this racquet, it would be on the volleys overall. I'm not sure what it was about being at the net with that racquet, however; it just didn't produce through the court as much as I had hoped.
Serve Return I was able to rip several return winners during match play and I often had my opponent on the defensive with my return. The balance and power of the racquet, combined with the tight pattern gave me a lot of confidence to go after the return. However, on slower paced (second serves) serves I had to be careful to not overswing on the forehand, if I did the ball would sail long easily or dump right into the net.
General Overall Performance This racquet is light enough for some customization and still has a solid swing weight and decent stability for being light. It is a crisp feel, but not in a way that feels overly stiff. While I prefer a more open string pattern, I was surprised at the spin I could generate for such a dense string pattern.
