September's Passing of the Pioneers brings the opportunity to post the obituary of Henry Annett of Wallacedale. It shows how much information you can find out about a person from their obituary if you are lucky. Of course, any information found is purely a lead to primary sources.
After 16 Passing of the Pioneers, there is now a large collection of Western District pioneer's names. If you would like to see the full list of pioneer obituaries, follow the link – PIONEER OBITUARIES
Thomas BENNETT: Died September 25, 1889 at Portland. Thomas Bennett was born in Derbyshire, England and arrived at Portland in 1854, taking on a job as a merchant tailor. He enjoyed cricket, racing, athletics and hunting as both a participant and spectator. Thomas married after arriving in Portland and he and his wife raised 10 children. His wife died of stroke some years before and Thomas raised the children, with only four having reached their teens by the time of his death.
Richard BLOOMFIELD: Died September 16, 1901 at Hamilton. Richard Bloomfield arrived in Australia, first to Tasmania in 1842 and later to Victoria. He joined the Police Force with his first station at Hamilton as chief constable. In his later years, Richard turned to farming and was 79 years at the time of his death.
John RIORDAN: Died September 27, 1905 at Portland. Before arriving in Portland, just prior to the turn of the century, John Riordan spent time in Ballarat, Creswick and Ararat running businesses. In Portland, he owned the London Hotel and served a period on the Portland Council.
Frederick BUCKNALL: Died September, 1908 at Dartmoor. In his early days in Portland, Frederick Bucknall believed wattle trees could be commercially grown. He purchased land at Dartmoor and planted his wattles, but blight and fires made his venture difficult. He went to the goldfields of Western Australia, where he had worked before. He returned to Dartmoor, a lot more financially secure and continued his Wattle plantation, with more success than his first attempt.
Thomas DONOHOE: Died September 26, 1908 at Narrawong. Thomas Donohoe of Narrawong was a cabinet maker of much renown, a farmer and an administrator. He had great political knowledge and for a time was the Narrawong correspondent for the Portland Guardian.
Thomas R. OLIVER: Died September 21, 1910 at Horsham. Thomas Oliver was a brother-in-law of Reuben and Jonathan Harman. Born in Cornwall in 1848, he arrived at Melbourne with his parents John Henry Oliver and Ann Richards and five older brothers and sisters. Thomas worked in the carrying business around Port Fairy before moving to Kalkee in the Wimmera in 1874. In 1876, he married Margaret Luxton, daughter of William Luxton. Around the early 1890s, Thomas and Margaret moved into Horsham where Thomas opened a grocery business on Church Hill.
Sarah CLARK: Died September 10, 1915 at Ararat. Sarah Clark was born in Hertfordshire, England and came to Victoria with her parents as a small child. Her father, Leonard Clark took up a position as gardener at the Burrumbeep Estate at Maroona. Sarah married John Basham in 1866 and they had 13 children. Nine children were still alive at the time of Sarah's death.
Alfred BYRON: Died September 28, 1916 at Denicull Creek. There is no chance Alfred Byron, born at Ashton-Under-Tyne, Lancashire, England remembers his voyage to Australia as he was only 10 days old when the ship sailed. Alfred's parents settled at Port Fairy, but as a young man he headed off to the goldfields before settling at Denicull Creek, near Ararat. Farming became his new pursuit. He married and raised a family of six children.
Thomas POLLAND: Died September 16, 1917 at Moyston. Born in County Down, Ireland in 1924, Thomas Polland arrived in Victoria in 1853, making his way to the Ballarat goldfields. Present at the time of the Eureka uprising, Thomas enjoyed recounting the stories of the time. He eventually headed to Moyston and for a time worked carting timber from the Grampians, before purchasing land to farm. His wife passed away around 1904 and Thomas left five of his eight children when he passed away.
Margaret THOMPSON: Died September 2, 1919 at Horsham. Margaret Thompson was born in Melbourne around 1870, the daughter of Mr W. Thompson and Mrs Bedwell. Her parents settled at Wonwondah and she lived there until she was 17. Margaret's mother remarried at this time and Margaret selected land at Telangatuk. After three years, she married Herman A. Rokesky of Clear Lake. They moved all over the district in the following years before Margaret and Herman settled in Horsham until the time of Margaret's death.
Henry ANNETT: Died September 29, 1927 at Wallacedale. In the November 2011 Passing of the Pioneers, I promised I would post Henry Annett's obituary in September 2012 and here we are. At the time, I had posted Henry's wife's obituary, that of Sarah Millard. I mentioned then that the story of Henry's life one of the best of I had read in the form of an obituary. I have read many more obituaries since that time, and I still think Henry's is right up there.
Henry Annett was born in Sevenoaks, Kent, England on July 5, 1845. Seven years later he sailed to Portland with his parents aboard the Pryam and Henry's father joined the police force. Their first home was a Government issued bell tent. After four years in Portland, Mr Annett snr transferred to Port Fairy where Henry took up butchering. Preferring the outdoors, Henry became a carrier taking goods to the Ararat diggings and to Dunkeld with materials for the first school. At around 17 years, Henry travelled to New Zealand where he walked 10 days from Christchurch over mountains and rivers to reach the newest of the gold diggings in the country, but like many others, he left empty handed.
After returning to Victoria in 1866, Henry married Sarah Millard of Narrawong but Henry still could not settle down.
Eventually he did settle taking an interest in community affairs and he earned the name the "father of Wallacedale"
Henry and Sarah had 13 children, 11 boys and two girls. Three boys had predeceased Henry. He also had 48 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. He was buried at the Conday cememtery.
Robert HICKLETON: Died September 14, 1932 at Koroit. Robert Hickleton arrived in Portland with his parents in 1852. They had sailed aboard the Old Ellen. Robert's first job was a compositor with the Portland Guardian. Over the following years he worked for the Warrnambool Standard, the Portland Mirror, the Hamilton Spectator and the Port Fairy Gazette, where he spent 29 years. In his early years he was a keen athlete and cricketer and later he was a successful lawn bowler.
Sarah HERBERTSON: Died September 1932 at Portland. Sarah Herbertson was born in Portland in 1844. She married Joseph Henry Porter and they lived in Portland during their married life, with Joseph passing away in 1931. They had no children. Sarah's obituary mentions she was "deeply attached to her home". A model, built by Joseph and Sarah, of that home in Gawler Street is now on display at Portland's History House , testimony to her attachment. Sarah's obituary gives her maiden name as Henderson.
Emma GRIFFITHS: Died September 1936 at Irrewillipe. Emma Griffiths was 100 years old when she died after spending 85 years in Victoria. Emma was just a girl when her and her mother arrived in Sydney aboard the Avocalle, on which Emma's mother was a matron caring for the female passengers. Later they went on to Melbourne, Geelong and then Buninyong where she married Mr Nicholan. They had three children at Buninyong before moving to Irrewillipe, near Colac around the late 1850s. Emma had 14 children and when she died she had 62 grandchildren and over 30 great-grandchildren.
Clara Quick GEOMAN: Died September 24, 1941 at Hamilton. Clara was born at Yambuk in 1859 and in 1884 married Francis Hollard at Portland. They moved to Wallacedale, being among the earliest settlers there. Clara appears to have had a link to Henry Annett as her daughter Ethel married Edward Annett. Clara had five other children alive at the time of her death.

Earlier this week, BuzzFeed published a hilarious list of 25 real, official petitions which have been submitted to the White House (by real people) for consideration. And yes, in case you're wondering, they all have collected at least a handful of signatures. And laughs. Tons of laughs.
Here are my three favorites (in no particular order):
1. Ban The Hunting of Sasquatch (link)
2. Give the New Orleans Saints their Draft Pick Back (link)
3. Joe Biden Gets His Own Reality Show (link)
Are you shaking your head yet? Banging it against a wall? Laughing hysterically? Bored out of your mind? Either way, check out petitions.whitehouse.gov and let us know if you find any that belong on this list. You can view the full post from BuzzFeed, here.
You should follow Mike on Twitter for more great tech insights and good conversation. If Twitter isn't your thing, fear not, you can always keep up with Mike on his personal blog as well at: www.MikeBeauchamp.me or on Facebook.

The Smart Alec is a modular backpack system: customize it to carry your gear with a variety of interior and exterior organizational pockets.
13 webbing loops on the front of the Smart Alec and an included removable black bungee make it easy to secure a rain jacket, umbrella, yoga mat, or bike helmet to the front of the bag. Ride your motorcycle or bike or walk at night with your Smart Alec? Add a Glowire electroluminescent wire kit, which you can weave through these new loops.
Designed to attach to the webbing loops are the optional Upper Modular Pocket, Lower Modular Pocket, and 1" Gate Keeper Straps. Each adds extra carrying capacity and custom organization to the Smart Alec.
The Upper Modular Pocket adds an extra 2+ liters of volume to the Smart Alec. Inside there are four small organizer pouches sized for the things to which you need quick access: smartphone, keys, multitool, flashlight. Two interior O-rings so you can attach keys or pouches or what-have-you. The Lower Modular Pocket adds an extra 3+ liters of volume to the Smart Alec. Fits two 1-liter water bottles, or one water bottle and other stuff, or just a lot of other stuff. Inside are two o-rings and an open-top organizer pocket sized for a wallet. 1" Gate Keeper Straps can replace the front bungee included with the Smart Alec with these straps (or leave the bungee in place and install the straps over the bungee). Useful for securing large/bulky items to the front or top of the Smart Alec: a yoga mat, snowshoes, raincoat, Christmas trees, or anything else too big or wet to go inside. Available individually or in sets of two or three; the Smart Alec has webbing loops for accommodating up to five 1″ Gate Keeper Straps. Wondering how many you need? Tom uses two 1″ Gate Keeper Straps to secure his snowshoes to the front of a Smart Alec. For more detailed information on each of these three accessories, visit the Smart Alec Modular Pockets & Straps page.
The streamlined main compartment of the Smart Alec opens wide, providing easy access to your gear, and zips with a #10 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zipper. Inside the main compartment you'll find two removable Annex Clips, which come in handy if you need to carry a laptop, as they allow you to securely clip the optional Vertical Brain Cell or Horizontal Brain Cell
Also in the main compartment on the back panel are two unobtrusive webbing loops (that we call "rail loops") to which you can secure the optional Cache (available in sizes specifically for every Apple laptop and iPad; PC users, click here for our Laptop Bag Fit Guide). When you add the Cache, the Smart Alec becomes a "checkpoint-friendly" laptop backpack. Here's how it works: on the back (or bottom, depending how you look at it) of the Cache are two parallel "rails" of 1" wide lightweight nylon webbing which extend from the top to the bottom. Included (and already attached for your convenience) when the Cache is ordered with the Smart Alec are two Gatekeeper Rail Clips: unclip the side that isn't clipped to the Cache, slip it through the webbing loops in the Smart Alec middle compartment, and flip it shut. Slip the Cache inside the Smart Alec, and pull it back out: you'll see that the Gatekeeper Rail Clips ride the rails of the Cache, allowing you to remove your laptop from the Smart Alec entirely while it is still encased in the protective Cache. Doing this at the airport security checkpoint means the X-ray machines (and TSA personnel) will have a clear, unobstructed view of your laptop � allowing you to keep your laptop in the Cache and the whole affair securely held together as one unit. (We think that's much better than having to remove your laptop and dump it in one of those buckets.) Many of us will appreciate this functionality on a daily basis as well: the rail system can be a convenient and quick way to remove one's laptop from the bag. Note that one must choose between attaching the Cache or the Brain Cell.
Inside the main compartment, you'll also find three medium-size organizer pockets: one near the bottom of the bag, and two at the top of the bag that zip shut so that, when you open the main compartment, the small stuff in those pockets won't fall out.
The main compartment has one
If you need more pockets and organization for your gear, or if you carry a lot of papers or folders, you may want to consider our Vertical Freudian Slip insert. The Vertical Freudian Slip fits well inside the main compartment of the Smart Alec and has four slots for files and folders on one side; organizer pockets for cables, small electronics, business cards, pens, and more are on the other side. Best of all, you can pull the Freudian Slip out of the Smart Alec and hang it on a doorknob or near your desk, giving yourself easy access to your accessories while keeping them organized.
The Snake Charmer, a two-sided organizational pouch with mesh panels, is also an optional accessory.
The top back of the Smart Alec has a comfortable, PORON® foam padded grab handle. While you wouldn't want to use the handle as a main carrying method for the Smart Alec, the comfort of the handle makes hoisting a fully loaded Smart Alec an easier task.
The Smart Alec has two long pockets on either side of the bag that zip with #8 YKK Aquaguard® water-repellent zippers. We think it's important to do whatever we can to keep the elements out of your bag and we figure you'd agree. One of the side pockets has an expanding water bottle pocket that can fit water bottles up to 1-1/2 liters. Our Matterhorn Water Bottle, a lightweight made-in-U.S.A. aluminum water bottle, fits well in the water bottle pocket. The water bottle pocket has an eyelet at the bottom that will allow liquid inside the water bottle pocket to drain (just in case). The other side pocket has two pen slots and a pocket sized for a wallet or iPhone. This side pocket can also hold other items such as a book, power supply, ereader, or other small accessories. Each of these pockets has one
The exterior of the Smart Alec is made of our custom, U.S. made, 1050 denier, high tenacity ballistic nylon fabric and 1000 denier Cordura® nylon, and the interior is lined with our ultralight 200 denier Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric, custom produced for us in Japan. The back is made of Dri-Lex� Aero-Spacer� mesh and is padded with 1/4", high quality, closed-cell foam.
The comfortable shoulder straps on the Smart Alec are made from 3/8" (10 mm) padding that offers serious comfort without bulk. While the Smart Alec is not built to be a mountaineering pack and we don't suggest you use it as one, we regularly take it for day hikes. We even went to the extreme of testing the comfort of the shoulder straps by carrying a fully loaded Smart Alec on an 18-mile day hike in Olympic National Park. The verdict? The shoulder straps left our shoulders feeling fine (how our feet felt is another story).
The Smart Alec also comes with removable sternum and waist straps, just in case you do take it on a hike, urban or otherwise. If you do decide to remove the sternum and/or waist straps, you'll be pleased to find they leave no hardware behind.

As reviewed by Rands in Repose:
"In time of stress, the items are readily accessible, remain safe, and dont shift around. I can�t predict when I need to go ninja. I don�t know when it�s absolutely essential that I have a pen ready to go in five seconds. When this moment does arrive, I don�t want to be digging feverishly around my bag, placing various items on the floor as I search the bottom of the bag where the small stuff has fallen. The Smart Alec backpack not only has a sensible number of pockets, they are readily accessible and not cavernous. At this moment I can tell you: right side external pocket is notebooks and the essential small crap bag (which I�ll explain in a moment), left external pocket is pens, mints, and playing cards, and the internal top pocket is safe and easily accessible for sunglasses, random small pieces of paper, a passport, and the occasional stash of hard candy. All my stuff, readily accessibly at a moment�s notice � that�s pretty ninja. Read the full review.

"As a gear tester, there are those rare moments when you take something out of the box and you know instantly that you have something in hand that is going to be difficult to review because you�re not sure that words and pictures can do it justice. My unboxing of the Tom Bihn Smart Alec was one of those moments. The quality of materials and attention to detail is evident. " Part One and Part Two of the full review.
As reviewed by The Brooks Review:
"What surprised me the most was just how much I loved the modular nature of my packing with the Smart Alec. Two small bags for my toiletries (one is TSA approved for liquids, too small for everything) one Snake Charmer for all my electronic goodies and my small pouch for the often used accessories. It was truly great to just pull out a little bag of items when I needed to get something instead of digging through large pockets filled with these items. With all this in the bag it carried surprisingly well and allowed me to keep both hands free to carry gifts and my wife�s rolling luggage when we arrived places." Read the full review.

TB Smart Alec deserves a review
"The Bihn system seemed pretty smartly designed when I first packed the bag, but now at the tail end of my trip, I can say that it's friggin ingenious! My company's version of "business travel" is probably one of the more rigorous things one can do with their time. Most weekdays consist of waking up at 6AM, getting dressed, re-packing your suitcase, visiting with customers or co-workers until 6PM or so, then driving or flying to the next city. So, it's really important to have ever piece of your travel arsenal designed well enough to make packing, retrieval, and, of course, carrying as easy as possible. Fully loaded, the Smart Alec held all of my workday stuff plus a spare change of clothes in a packing folder (should luggage get lost in transit), and weighed in around 17 pounds. I'm happy to say that I have no back strain or fatigue after carrying it through Budapest, Vienna, Munich, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Paris, and Madrid. I highly recommend it!!!" — posted by fvfvsix
On Tour: 18 days with an Aeronaut & a Smart Alec
"I make an odd living selling merchandise for bands on the road. It's a crazy, fun, unforgiving lifestyle where grown men sleep in bunk beds on a tour bus and eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for dinner. It also requires expert packing and lifehacking skills. After my first couple years of touring I was fed up with my large, bulky hardshell suitcases that required being checked. I've dealt with lost baggage on several occasions. It's a scary realization when you land and your life isn't there to greet you at baggage claim. And you might be hundreds of miles away in 24 hours at another gig. Thankfully, after many hours of research and comparison I stumbled upon Tom Bihn. I've made a few purchases that have changed my touring life and made it for the better. And I hope to make more in the future. " — posted by leviathan
Smart Alec Review (long)
"Top Load - This is one of the greatest parts of the bag. No zippers that spill the bags contents as you open it up to look inside. It is like opening a drawer and everything is right there. The bright color on the inside is great to brighten things up and reflect enough light to help you find your stuff. "
a Smart Alec story from India
"I'd like to share a little story of my adventures with the Smart Alec. I'm in India right now, here on a trip for business and pleasure. I carried my laptop and other accessories, a hard back book and a small bag of bathroom articles in it on my flight. Once here in India, I've been using it daily to carry my laptop, accessories, fruit and water to work. Did you know that the side pockets of the Smart Alec are great for holding 1 litre water bottles?" — posted by maverick

The not-so prestigious premier league of South African rugby saw poor turnouts in it's opening week, and this weekend is set to see much of the same.
Rob Wagner, MD of WP Rugby has indicated that the poor attendance figures could be attributed to the poor performances of the Springboks, as well as the fact that none of those players will play Currie Cup rugby in 2006.
"I think that we underestimate the impact that the performance of the national team has on the psyche of the nation. And the three tests thus far haven't set the nation alight with regards to the performances. Maybe that's a reason," the WP Rugby boss told Rugby365 editor Jan de Koning.
The figures really do put this sad story into perspective. The Sharks opening match against the Lions was the only encounter to draw over 10 000 spectators, with 15 180 paying customers attending the game.
In second place was the Vodacom Blue Bulls and Valke match which only attracted 7 492 of the usually impressive Loftus Versveld turnout. In Bloemfontein, 2 000 fans gathered to watch the central derby between the Vodacom Cheetahs and Griquas, whilst the numbers were even worse in Witbank with 2 000 being the official count for the Pumas and Province clash.
The old coastal rivalry is to be resumed tomorrow at Newlands, but Wagner fears that it may no be the big occasion it once was. The unions are said to be planning on budget cuts, as the takings at the gates are no longer sufficient.
"At this point in time, for a typical Currie Cup game, it is not good," Wagner said. "We haven't improved on years gone by, despite the fact that we're in a so-called strength-versus-strength competition," Wagner said.
"Again one has to ask, is the absence of leading players not the only reason why we have these poor attendance figures?
""It will be interesting to see how the [rest of the] Currie Cup pans out, particularly from an attendance point of few. It had been a shock, and we'll see what the crowd attendance is like here [at Newlands] on Saturday."

What Would Susan Miller Say? My Octocalypse Journal
For months, famed free astrologist and amateur soothsayer Susan Miller had been warning in her horoscopes that October would bring Hard Times, because Mercury would enter retrograde.
I know. A free Internet astrologist? One with a website that appeared to have survived the fall of Netscape Navigator, the Dot Com bubble, Web 2.0 over-engineering, and the Great Recession fallout entirely unchanged? Pointing to AstrologyZone.com is analogous to the gang in Scooby Doo! entering a witchdoctor's house looking for clues—you kind of already know what kind of nonsense you're getting yourself into. But her mysticism—broad, careful wording, a firm grasp of generational vanity and provincial foibles—isn't about specifics.

Inspection checks
These checks were carried out under the inspection model we've used since 2009. These will gradually be replaced by our new ratings (see right).
|All standards were being met when we inspected the service. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
|At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we required improvements.
|At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
New inspection ratings
We're moving to our new inspection model and rate services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
|Outstanding – the service is performing exceptionally well.
|Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
|Requires improvement – the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
|Inadequate – the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
|No rating/under appeal/rating suspended – there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.

Things to See and Do in Hagerstown
Things to See and Do in Hagerstown
Museums Showcase County's Rich History. Tour the Jonathan Hager House Museum, home of the city's founder, and view a portrayal of life during that time period.
Hager House
Situated in Hagerstown's City Park, and built in 1739 by city founder Jonathan Hager, the Hager House is styled in German tradition. Today the Hager House is completely outfitted with authentic furnishings of the period depicting a life long since forgotten. Older than the country itself, not many American cities can present the completely restored homes of their founders. Hagerstown has such a treasure--stepping into the Hager House is like taking a walk through the past.
Hagerstown Roundhouse
For many years, the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum has coordinated the preservation and restoration of historic railway equipment, including steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, and other rolling stock. The public is invited every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 pm to enjoy the exhibits, which include pictures, lights, lanterns, bells, whistles and other railroading items. The museum also boasts a complete gift shop, library/research room, model railroad layouts, and picture displays of local railroad facilities.
Miller House and Gardens
This fine old brick etiface at 135 West Washington Street in Hagerstown is the headquarters of the Washington County Historical Society. Research indicates that the main structure of the house was built for William Price, a prominent young attorney, who acquired the property in 1823. The mansion is a typical town house of the late Federal period. In the entrance hall is the original hanging stairway rising in a graceful curve to the third floor. There are several bedrooms with furnishings from the 1850's - 1870's. Exhibits include papers and historic items of the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The Miller House Library contains many early documents and church records of Washington County. The garden is gradually being developed and has been created as a memorial to the late Victor Davis Miller, III, president of the Historical Society from 1966-68.
Museum of Fine Arts--a True Hidden Treasure
The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts has a long and impressive tradition of cultural leadership in the Cumberland Valley region providing residents and visitors access to an outstanding permanent collection. The Museum's professional standards of excellence in collection, exhibition and interpretation have earned it the coveted accreditation of the American Association of Museums (AAM), an honor extended to fewer than ten percent of the nation's museums. The museum has a collection of American paintings, Old Masters and European works, Oriental and African art. This extensive collection also includes drawings, prints and sculpture from the eighteenth century to the present.

It is more and more difficult to take Republicans seriously when they claim to be the party of "limited government."
Every week the Times-News publishes a list of new laws passed by either house of the state General Assembly (both now controlled by Republicans).
Last Saturday's list took up about 30-column inches of space. What would be nice is to publish a list of laws that have been removed from the books, but we haven't seen that list yet, probably because it doesn't exist.
The latest exercise in the expansion of government under Republican rule is a new law that would send women to prison for going topless in public.
This law — which has widespread support from Republicans and Democrats alike — would amend the state's indecent exposure law. On Wednesday, a House committee unanimously approved legislation clarifying that willfully exposed female nipples — other than when breastfeeding — constitute indecent exposure.
Under the new language — and we're not making this up — the definition of "private parts" would now include "the nipple, or any portion of the areola, or the female breast."
If a woman is, wait for it … busted for such a revelation, she could be charged with a felony and serve jail time.
The genesis of this bill is two topless rallies held to promote women's equality in Asheville.
Apparently, this is all it takes to spur limited-government Republicans into taking up legislative time and passing new laws — a couple of rallies in one corner of the state. Well, that and the plight of a possum.
Bill co-sponsor Rep. Rayne Brown told members there is confusion over what state indecency laws actually prohibit.
"I think our state deserves clarity on this issue."
No, what our state deserves are conservatives who actually make reducing the size and scope of government a priority when it comes to social issues.
Republicans love to — correctly — claim that the government should stay out of people's wallets, but when it comes to social issues, they are just run-of-the-mill statists, eager to impose their view on the rest of society.
In the meantime, precious General Assembly minutes and hours are being wasted on yet another new law which won't have any impact on all but a handful of state residents. Its only real impact will be to add yet another page to the volumes of government regulations imposed on us all.
While you might agree — as we do — that women shouldn't be parading around naked, we also happen to believe that not all inappropriate behavior should be criminalized and certainly not made into a felony.
And while this debate may continue being argued, one debate is being lost — the one where Republicans claim to be for less government.

The New Albany Board of Aldermen has taken bids for site preparation for the expansion of the Sportsplex to the north side of U.S. Highway 78.
The bids range from $403,417 to $666,814, and Mendrop-Wages, the engineering firm handling the project, is analyzing the bids and expects to have a recommendation for the board, perhaps as soon as its next meeting Monday.
We think that before any bid is accepted, the board should have a public airing of what the anticipated total cost of the Sportsplex expansion will be, what the anticipated annual operating costs will be, and how the city will pay for it.
Let us state again that we support the Sportsplex expansion and we think the community generally does, too. But we think it is important to have a clear understanding of the costs involved and the tax revenue that will be needed to finance it.
Supporters have suggested that some tourism tax money be used and that there may be grants available. Supporters have a private fundraising campaign in the works. They also have said the New Albany schools would be asked to contribute.
Whether grant money will be forthcoming is very uncertain and it is our experience that private fundraising is very difficult for any project, and will not generate a major part of the cost.
And the schools face a financial crisis that almost certainly will result in the elimination of teaching positions in New Albany next year. We oppose, and we think the community will oppose, spending school money on the Sportsplex at this time.
The Board of Aldermen should put forth a straightforward plan for financing this project through a combination of the tourism tax and a small millage increase, if necessary.
If private fundraising and grants reduce the cost, fine. But depending on either for a significant part of the cost is unrealistic.

Jacksonville has counseling services, a methadone clinic and a crisis center available. However, there is no local inpatient treatment facility for those with substance abuse issues.
"We do a lot of recommendations to the Wilmington treatment centers and to some of the bigger places like Duke," Erskine Hawkins Jr., admissions director for New Insights DWI Services and Counseling Center said. "We don't have (inpatient treatment) here in Onslow County."
Hawkins' center provides substance abuse assessments and outpatient counseling for those with substance abuse issues.
"We do outpatient therapy for anyone who is struggling with addiction," he said. "We deal with a lot of behavioral therapy. We try to advise them and give them new insight and coping mechanisms to deal with the array of things that could be going on in their lives."
The center serves Onslow, Duplin and Jones counties.
Tammy Hawkins, clinical director of New Insights, said it is important for those with substance abuse problems to seek help.
"A lot of people want to make changes," she said. "They want something different than their old lives and old ways. In a treatment setting, the person can see that they are not the only one, and the group can be a support system for them also."
Area resident Neal Myers gave his personal testimony of drug addiction during a recent panel discussion held by the Carteret County Substance Abuse Prevention Task Force. The task force is part of the Coastal Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention serving Onslow, Carteret, Jones, Craven and Pamlico counties.
Myers, now 27, described a struggle with substance abuse that began with experimenting with alcohol and a variety of drugs beginning at age 14. After years of abuse and run- ins with the law, he said he hit rock bottom in September 2010 and went to the hospital.
After detox and counseling he entered a recovery program.
Alcohol and marijuana remain a problem but the issue of prescription drug abuse and diversion topped the discussion at the program held in Carteret County to help educate parents about substance abuse.
The accessibility of prescription medication as well as perception compound a growing problem of the abuse as well as misuse of the drugs, said the panel of community leaders said.
Prescription medications are found in most households and are sometimes shared by friends or family members, giving the perception to some that they aren't addictive or are otherwise safe to use.
Dr. Kerry Willis said prescription medications should only be used by the person for whom they were prescribed and for the reason intended.
The abuse of medications can be dangerous and result in harmful interactions.
He encouraged youth or anyone else who knows someone misusing prescription drugs to tell someone and try to get them help.
"You are not helping them by helping them to cover it up," he said.
Willis served as a panel member along with Myers, Carteret County Sheriff Asa Buck, District Attorney Scott Thomas for Judicial District 3B, and Kay Regnier, a licensed clinical addiction counselor.
Buck said the sheriff's office and law enforcement officials see the problem every day.
The sheriff's office was awarded a grant from the Governor's Crime Commission for funding for an additional investigator to focus on efforts to combat prescription drug diversion.
He said approximately half of all the drug cases seen by the sheriff's office involve the illegal possession and/or sale and delivery of prescription medication.
The problem includes individuals using the medications for the wrong reason, unintentional overdoses and the illegal sale of prescription medications on the street.
Thomas said cases of "doctor shopping" are a problem, with people going from doctor to doctor and providing false information in order to illegally obtain prescriptions for medications, which then end up being diverted to the illegal use or sale of the drug.
"They know what to say in order to get a prescription," he said.
Accessibility can add to the problem, with prescription medications found around most households.
Willis said it's important to keep medications in the home secured so they don't end up in the wrong hands
"Put them in a cabinet and lock them up," he said.
Buck also encourages keeping medications in a safe and secure place.
"We all have to be responsible," he said.
Regnier, who also spoke as a parent of a child who had a problem with substance abuse, said individuals also have to be willing to get treatment and help themselves.
And those who need help are encouraged to seek treatment rather than try to fix the problem on their own.
Tammy Hawkins said that sometimes people who try to quit cold turkey by themselves could be at risk.
"If something happens, there is no one to assist," she said. "For some people, it may work; and for some people, it could be a health risk."
Those health risks can be related to withdrawal from different substances like heroin and other opiates. The Jacksonville Treatment Center, the only methadone clinic in Jacksonville, deals with opiate addiction.
For those who need immediate care or referral to get past their addiction, there is the Coastal Care Crisis Response Center at 215 Memorial Drive in Jacksonville.
"We provide addicts with their options for treatment after assessment, depending on their level of addiction," Regional Director Debra Vuocolo said. "The assessment is a key piece."
She said there are different levels of treatment for substance abuse.
"There are outpatient programs, substance abuse intensive outpatient programs, opiate programs like methadone maintenance and inpatient treatment facilities," she explained. "It is up to the consumer at that point — we do the assessment and these are their options."
The center also has a mobile crisis management team that will go to schools, magistrates and homes to help de-escalate a situation involving a person under the influence.
"Our goal (at the center or with the mobile team) is to take whatever time is necessary to stabilize the crisis," she said.
Erskine Hawkins said there are a growing number of substance abuse providers, and that is a good thing because people need to seek professional help for substance abuse treatment.
"I think it is important because of lack of coping skills," he said. "It is good to seek out some sort of help when you can't do it on your own. Do it with some help. Don't think it is a bad thing to seek help. When you can't do something on your own, you need to seek out someone qualified."
Myers said after the Carteret County program that he encourages parent to communicate with their children.
"Start talking to them early about the consequences," he said. "Definitely talk to them about drugs and alcohol but also about responsibility."

The rigorous process starts with molten iron being sand cast from a single mold that's destroyed after use, explaining why no two pieces are identical. Pots, pans and accessories are then painstakingly polished and finished by hand, sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice. No other procedure yields cookware that so evenly conducts and retains heat, making Le Creuset cast iron second to none for slow cooking.
Le Creuset's signature color, Flame, was created to reflect the intense orange hue of molten cast iron inside a cauldron ("creuset" in French). In the company's early years, this vibrant shade offered a refreshing color choice within a sea of gray. Carrying on the tradition, Le Creuset features a wide range of vibrant colors to complement any kitchen décor.
In 1995 Le Creuset began expanding into new categories: stainless steel, stoneware, silicone, enamel on steel, textiles and forged hard-anodized aluminum. Although some production processes have been modernized, you can be sure the handmade qualities of Le Creuset cookware remain unchanged. The company still manufactures their cast iron cookware in the original foundry, with each piece passing through the hands of 15 skilled artisans to ensure flawless perfection.
With the consistent qualities of authenticity, originality and innovation, Le Creuset maintains a connection to both heritage and modernity.

A standoff at the home of a well-known local official and landlord ended with police convincing the man to surrender.
Conrad Pogorzelski of 216 E. Fifth Ave., Gastonia, was taken into police custody around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday.
He was barefoot and wearing a blue bath robe. Police say they talked to him on a phone and he eventually walked out the front door with his hands in the air.
Police say he will undergo a psychological examination. Officers are investigating to determine whether he will face charges.
Pogorzelski is one of three members of the Gaston County Board of Elections.
He owns more than 15 homes and commercial buildings, including a building on South York Street that served as the Gaston County GOP Headquarters last year.
Shots fired
The standoff began around 8 a.m. when three Gastonia officers arrived at Pogorzelski's home to serve a court order, said Capt. Steve Duncan. The order was reportedly for an involuntary commitment, but Duncan would not confirm that.
When officers arrived on the front porch, they spoke to Pogorzelski through the closed front door because he refused to come out, Duncan said.
He then opened fire, shooting a handgun three times inside the home. No one was injured, Duncan said.
Police evacuated surrounding homes and businesses in the midst of the standoff, including a chiropractic office at Union Road and East Fifth Avenue and the CDA Store on Oakland Street.
Dozens of people waited outside for hours.
Police set up in the parking lot of the Water Tower Plaza off Garrison Boulevard, near Pogorzelski's home. Gaston County Police Department responded with an armored vehicle and Gastonia Police Department's SWAT team was deployed.
Sheriff Alan Cloninger and deputies also responded.
Business disrupted
Officers have responded to disturbance calls involving Pogorzelski at different locations over the past several weeks, Duncan said.
CDA Store owner Joe Bailey said officers arrived while workers were serving breakfast.
"They just said they wanted to make sure if any bullets started flying that nobody would be injured," he said.
Bailey said it caused an inconvenience. He sent employees home and remained closed for the day.
"It's kind of aggravating when you've got bills to pay," he said.
Acqurnetta McDowell's parents live on East Fifth Avenue. She visited them Wednesday morning and saw officers blocking off sections of the street.
She said children live in the neighborhood.
"It's scary to know that there were shots fired and there are kids that live next door," she said.

And it might make you push your state legislators to fight for the appropriate infrastructure investment financing your state needs to get us moving again.The report from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute earlier this week says traffic congestion costs drivers $121 billion. We spent 5.5 billion additional hours sitting in traffic in 2011, the year covered by the study. That comes down to $818 per commuter in lost time and wasted fuel. And where would you think the problem is the worst? Los Angeles? New York? No, the worst metro area for traffic congestion is Washington, DC. And I'll bet you that city, probably...

Weird Wire
The night is coming. The veil that separates the world of the living from the realm of the dead now grows thin. Spirits gather and soon will cross this dark divide to fill shadowy streets and abandoned yards with visions of the ghastly, the ghostly, and the ghoulish. Can't wait! But while we do, here's some news of the strange and the weird to mark the world's spookiest holiday and the one of the its oldest pagan traditions…
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is back in the news with word that the feds want to study this maelstrom of muck with an eye toward a possible clean-up. Those familiar with the incredibly disconcerting and wholly freakish twice-Texas-sized patch of floating trash, however, say that not only is cleanup pretty much impossible even conducting basic research is likely to prove vexing. How about we just take the zillions of dollars and man-hours we might spend here and devote them to preventing garbage from entering ocean ecosystems in the first place?
Halloween marks the boundary between summer and winter, or light and dark, an important annual milestone given the impact we've learned light can have on human health. Indeed studies have shown that people who work out-of-sync with natural day-night cycles are at risk for all kinds of maladies from depression to breast cancer. The impact is so great that the World Health Organization will declare in December that shift work is a "probable carcinogen." In other words, the graveyard shift could actually put you there. I think it's time to shift our 24/7 economy back to something a little more civilized.

Just Right
The options for a magnet were great- there were so many good ones that it was hard to choose! And it was really nice that you were able to take a design and really make it your own by being able to change the font and colors as well. We were real pleased with our final result
Loved Them!!
I just got them in the mail yesterday and cant say enough good things about the save the dates! The picture and writing were clear, they looked exactly like they did online before I ordered them.
Beautiful Card
I truly love our Save the Dates! Several people have told us how nice they are and asked where we purchased them. The picture I originally sent them was not of good quality. Rather than printing them and me being upset later, MagnetStreet contacted me and suggested I send the original so that they would look nice. I appreciate their patience with me and ensuring that I had nice Save the Dates! I will definitely be searching for my Wedding Invitation on MagnetStreet!
It was easy, fast and came out beautiful.
It was so easy, we thought we'd done it wrong. And then they arrived and it was exactly as we pictured it!
Wonderful Magnet
Beautiful magnets. Thanks so much. Just what I wanted for my save the dates.

No (personally)
I know that I'm certainly guilty of being biased towards popular fragrances here, so if an overwhelming majority of people on here say they love a fragrance and think it is a masterpeice, then I feel more obliged to try it, buy it, or at the very least give it a second chance if I don't like it.
Terre d'Hermes and L'Homme La Nuit for example, are both highly hyped fragrances. I sampled them both on my skin twice each, and I thought they were both respectable, but I personally didn't like them. If they hadn't been hyped on Basenotes, the truth is, I probably would have just sprayed it on a test card and walked away without any second thoughts.
Anyone else, honestly, guilty of at least sometimes being biased towards popular scents on Basenotes, as silly as it may seem?
No (personally)

And my Worldwide full bottle sale thread: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/306...S-(UK-EU-only)
Does "hype" mean a) something that is estimated by a broad variety of basenoters over a number of years or b) the metastatic spread of threads peering hard at one and the same scent? In the first case I'm always thankful for information, because it sometimes is a useful "guide" through the mass of fragrance releases each year.
In my case, can't really say I have.
I will definitely try the hyped frags when I see them and can test them because I want to see what the hype is all about. In response to the question posed as the topic "Do people give hyped fragrances more leniency?" All I have to say is are resounding 100% YES!!! Example Creed gets an ecstatic huge thumbs up from the vast majority of Basenoters-I almost feel that they can do no wrong even though many say that the longevity is severely lacking and they have batch variation issues, etc...and they are expensive. Yet, on the other hand Bond no 9 gets an overly ecstatic thumbs down from the majority of Basenoters-I almost feel that they can't do anything right even though they have amazing longevity and cost less than a lot of Creeds. Creed fragrances are fragrances, and Bond fragrances are fragrances, weird how that works, but some say that you can't pay enough for Creed, and you can't pay too little for Bond even though they both, yep, that's right, are fragrances-they both smell, crazy...I know. But, the hype of Creed makes it royalty, and the cursing of Bond makes it the spawn of satan.
I really don't want this to be a creed vs bond again...I'm just using it as an example, an overly dramatic example, but an example all the same. I judge each fragrance that I smell as...yep...a fragrance. I'm wild and crazy, I know.
i would say yes
I please Guilty, with extenuating circumstances.
I dont know if I would call it bias. Of course i want to try something that everyone says is great. If I dont like it I may try to actually figure out why I dont like it so I can be part of a conversation and have an actual informed opinion. I always try things again even if the arent hyped because my taste changes frequently.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
I'll try stuff that gets hyped around here, but if it sucks, I dont buy it. I also try stuff that isnt hyped.
- - - Updated - - -
to be fair, much of the hyped fragrances on BN are at least good. Even ones I dont like (ex Chergui), are good, just not for me.
Leniency? If I don't like it after sampling 3 times, i never will.
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
If its hyped I would likely give it a try. But I only use other people's opinions as a starting point to try something or not. Once I try it, I just go with my own nose.
I was almost starting to think the exact opposite of your initial premise - it almost seems to me that some people like to be contrarian and thumb their nose at the hyped ones to avoid being part of the dreaded "mainstream" of thought.
And now that I think about it, I still can't figure out why everyone doesn't agree with me about everything...
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
You can nit pick anything to death and eventually you'll find something you don't like about it. If anything they're judged more harshly because of unreal expectations. There's also those that want to hate because it's their nature.

1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge

5: Knize - Knize Ten

Yes. Also I am biased towards fragrances that are bashed here badly and I rarely sample them (all sporty,aquatics flankers).

3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
I always get underwhelm by the over hyped fragrances
No, and personally I can find it rather off putting in some cases.
I seldom subscribe to popular opinions when it comes to personal tastes but I'll give the fragrance a fair shake. But I reckon a significant number of people would have some inherent bias from the psychosocial need to belong. It's natural. As long as you're aware of this phenomenon, you can be just as objective.

On Basenotes, I'd say: with below average frequency, even up to a clear, radical NO. In fact, here on Basenotes, most hyped fragrances, even the ones hyped on BN, are usually given constructive criticism, witty yet inoffensive banter, a more knowledgeable, informed and carefully detailed look, at least, more so than almost anywhere else.
I do tend to try the most hyped fragrances. I would not have thought to try Invasion Barbare without all the recent positive hype.
But after that, my nose decides. The list is long of "hyped" fragrances I don't like (Aventus, TDH pure parfum, etc.).
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
In the end I will always decide for myself, it just might take longer on a hyped fragrance. Trying to find what others have in it, trying to figure out what I don't get about it...all just puts a hold on the final decision.
I think I might be more susceptible to the opposite, if a fragrance gets a lot of hate and I do enjoy it, it might put a negative mark on it in my mind...
Im not like this
I might test a fragrance twice rather than just once, if it's hyped here - just to make sure I haven't missed something. Occasionally I might change my mind, but I don't think I'm subsequently lenient if my view remains unaltered.
The scents I've most tested and only ever changed my mind on once, were those by Chanel. I changed my mind on Egoiste, but I'm still mystified as to why the rest are so highly rated.
I think it's more that people have positive feelings going into a sampling of LIDGE, MKK, MR, GIT, TdH, and the rest of the hyped ones, so unless they really dislike it they are more likely to say it's very good or great. Conversely, if it's considered aquatic, fresh, or "sport," there are negative thoughts going into the sampling.

I love A*men and recently purchased Pure Malt based upon all of the hype and was so disappointed. Does it smell good? ABSOLUTELY? Does it deserve the hype? UHH, NOOOOO. So, I'm guessing that the leniency thing may hold true in some cases.
^Take that with a grain of salt usually when thing involved people filliping 2-3 times from its original cost.
Of course they do. Lots of leniency and extra consideration. If there are bunches of people who proclaim to be loyal fans of a fragrance it cries out to others - "come and join our club". People love to join up to be loyal fans of a brand. It is really a post modernist phenomena. Selective shopping has become the new tribal sport and the most discriminating consumers are the early adopters who get the ball rolling on sites like base notes. It is a major function of Basenotes, actually. Those who join together are the members of a special appreciation group - its like a collectors group that grow impromptu. Of course we love to talk out prized finds to establish the merits and importance of it all so the club grows bigger and we are on the ground floor. Its a entirely different social behavior than just the smell of a perfume for my aftershave. It is group art of scent appreciation. When the ball gets rolling and the hype is bubbling away, it is a major encouragement to others to want to join in on the fun. It is very much like joining a club - "The Aventus Appreciation Group", The Terre d' Hermes Loyalists, The Pure Malt Purists. It could almost be sports teams.

Yes I am guilty of going with the hype!
Yes I have bought blind based on hype! You learn quickly though when you get your all exciting hyped bottle, then, after a week or so you realize that its just so NOT for you. After you have been bitten by the hype and followed up with a purschase (normally an expensive buy) you suddenly start to be wary of the personal influences of all the hype here in Base Notes!
But hey I love people especially Bner's who hype as it brings to my attention much more information, thought and alot more input then I would normally find on a single scent!
Keep hyping guys!

Between the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the trial of Saddam Hussein, the subject of war and peace has been all too relevant recently. Now is the time to ponder the perspectives of the Jewish tradition regarding this topic. Swords and Plowshares, by Rabbi Edwin Goldberg, offers comprehensive analysis of Jewish texts?��biblical, rabbinic, and medieval?��that deal with the subject of war and peace. Each text is presented in Hebrew and in English, followed by study questions and commentary. Through such guided study, the reader will appreciate the nuances in the Jewish tradition regarding both times of war and times of peace. Examples from modern history are also provided to illuminate the textual subjects.
Using this carefully selected collection of stories, Heads and Tales will help instill a love of Jewish stories, while also helping students gain the skills needed to be critical readers of these traditional stories. In addition, these stories demonstrate that the issues that concerned our ancestors in past generations are similar or are the same as those that concern us today. The tales found in the book, while they may have been written in years gone by, remain most relevant.

The Haftarah Commentary is a comprehensive new translation of the weekly selections from the Prophets and Writings, complete with meticulously cantillated Hebrew text, commentary and translations, essays, gleanings from sources modern and ancient, notes, glossary, bibliography, and additional selections for use as alternatives to the traditional haftarot. To insure the accuracy and accessibility of the new volume, consulting editor S. David Sperling, a professor of Hebrew at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, reviewed the entire text and commentary.
Look what they're saying about The Haftarah Commentary:
"Eminently useful."--Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis, Valley Beth Shalom, Encino, CA
"A first-class, actually world-class, volume."--David Noel Freedman, Editor, Anchor Bible Dictionary
"The goal is to entice people into reading the Bible."--Gustav Niebuhr, The New York Times
Music can be a wonderfully effective teaching tool for preschool aged children. My Jewish World guides teachers through the process of introducing and utilizing song in the classroom to teach Jewish values.
In her comprehensive and easy to follow book, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh includes twenty-six songs, religious and secular, that will help to facilitate an environment of fun and learning. Each song addresses important Jewish concepts and many use Hebrew words and prayers. Judy provides comments, activities, and creative ideas, specific for each song, which can be used in the classroom to learn about being Jewish every day. The importance of saying the Sh'ma each morning, learning the Hebrew words for colors, understanding body parts, and the value of cooperation are only some of the Jewish concepts touched on in the book.
In addition, Judy Ginsburgh includes a list of suggested books for many of the topics. These books help to reinforce and expand the lessons laid out in the curriculum.
With a helpful glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms and the companion music CD, My Jewish World is a wonderful guide to making music significant in the Jewish classroom.
Rabbi Edwin Goldberg's new book Heads and Tales: Stories from the Sages to Enlighten our Minds brings age-old tales to life once more. Designed as an introduction to the art of reading rabbinic literature, Heads and Tales opens the door to the creative genius of the rabbis of long ago.

Who said that the Quest for the Ring was the End? There is always room for more! A new age comes with new adventures.
This will focus mostly on Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf.
Set in the distant reaches of Middle-Earth. places hardly any men west of Mordor can tell you about. The stories of Harad, Umbar, Khand and Rhûn. Stories set under different stars and from a different point of view. We follow a young Haradrim and his friend, an old travelling merchant.
