What better way to tell your cow-orkers "dont bug me right now".
Of course, it won't really filter out the annoying people, they'll just tap your shoulder.
by Just Some Guy (3352) <email@example.com> on Tuesday October 29, 2013 @08:17PM (#45274971) Homepage Journal
I was going to be in Deep Hack mode for a while. I wrote "ICMP.code = 1, UNREACHABLE" on a neon pink sticky note and stuck it onto my headphones. An hour later, I was juggling about 20 modules' worth of state when a coworker started tapping me on the shoulder. I tried to ignore him, but he kept it up until I lost track of everything and gave up. I turned to him.
"Ha ha! That's really funny! Did you make that?"
My other coworkers later reported that they'd never heard such a torrent of well-deserved profanity before that day.

My supervisor always used to just walk into my cubicle and start talking. The worst was when he came in and started talking to me while I was typing an email and my brain just locked up - I couldn't think straight to finish my email and I couldn't register a word he was saying. I started wearing headphones as a defensive mechanism to prevent brain-lock. Of course, he still used to come in and talk to me while I had my headphones on but at least I couldn't hear him and then he had to repeat himse
The main reaction I would get from that is questions: "what is that? What does it mean?"
For phone calls, I need either a headset or speakerphone, and when I'm at an office with other people or lab with noisy hardware, or working at home and my wife's around, the speakerphone's impractical. I used to be on the phone for an average of 2-3 hours a day; with my current work it's usually a bit less, but there's still a lot.
And switching between different kinds of headsets is annoying, so I usually don't bother.
Noise-cancelling headsets are nice if I'm not going to talk to people much. The
In our cleanroom, some of us use noise-canceling headphones without anything playing to filter out vacuum pump noise, etc.
They work quite well to filter out the industrial noise, but they still allow you to hear alarms and co-workers talking, so better and safer than regular hearing protection earmuffs or plugs.
Try the kind of earplugs they sell to musicians, concert-goers, etc. I spent about £15 on some, since I go to a lot of gigs, and they block out the sound evenly. Headphones aren't designed to protect your hearing, so personally I wouldn't trust them.
I definitely have used headphones to create a private work space for myself in a cubicle/office environment...no music sometimes...
To me, the problem is the whole "Open floor plan" trend in office design
It's fine for people like a police detective or data entry or some PR team, but for people doing complex individual based desk-bound work, the open floor plan is a disaster.

Audio books (Score:5, Interesting)
As an electrician I don't need to talk to anyone for the majority of my day, with a set of cheap-o bluetooth headphones I go through about a book a week.
I wonder what the comprehension rate of material is under those conditions.
Its usually pretty good. After listening to a book at work I can recall all the major and minor plot points or short stories in their entirety, 1950's sci-fi short stories are by far the best translated to audiobook format. They are already written in a radio-drama format so hearing them read out loud sounds very natural.
Working and Listening are Mutually Exclusive (Score:4, Interesting)
I find myself unable to multitask. Either I am listening to music (mostly classical) and all my mental resources are allocated to hearing what is going on (melodies, harmonies, motives, structure, etc.), or I am involved in work-related activities (coding, coming up with solutions to software engineering problems, reading specs, keeping abreast with subject matter, etc.) that require full concentration. For situations that don't require full concentration, such as testing, the music is distracting.
Indeed, it's been over two decades since I came to the realization that I always work slower if there is any kind of music playing in the background. Music that disagrees with me makes me irritable, while music that I like only makes me want to listen more closely, pick up my instrument and play along. Moreover, so many forms of music, especially when repeated over and over again on the radio, can result in earworms that irritate me long after the music has stopped (perhaps this is why I find jazz so appeal
I think that a lot of people insist that they work better with music, when they really don't. I think they find the music enjoyable, so it's a nice escape from work, and therefore need to justify listening to music. Personally, I find that I'm much better at tuning out talk radio or talk podcasts than I am at tuning out music. There are other tasks I can do well while listening to music. But they are not the kind of tasks that required deep thought. Stuff like exercising (especially), doing dishes, or mu
Pffft. I work much better with the headphones on, no contest.
Maybe I should try to do something else than DJing, though.
I think you need to go to east Asia and learn to meditate... Learn to stop that control freak mind and let your mind really relax. It is better for you and you will actually find that you will work better.
Combination of the parent post and yours implies that "being able to multitask = work better". Which is bollocks. Multitasking is a nightmare, at least to me. I perform best when I can concentrate, and I mean: TRULY concentrate, upon one and only one topic. [ written while doing something else, BTW ]
"being able to multitask = work better" may not be a general rule, but if it works for some people, why not? Maybe you are great at single-tasking, maybe you get as much done single-tasking as others get done multi-tasking, good for you if so. Personally, I am most productive when I have two or three things to do. I get on with one of them, the easiest one, while my subconscious untangles the tricky ones, occasionally asking my conscious mind for a bit of help so I stop what I am doing and think for a bit.
It depends on what you are doing. I work just fine listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre when I am doing work that is more physical than mental (eg, cutting paper and feeding things into a laminator, running network cable and power cords, etc), However, while doing database querying, or documentation... forget it.
The difference between you and others is that you are not fooling yourself.
AS has been shown many times, multitasking is not efficient.
I find music with lyrics to be distracting sometimes (it depends on the lyrics sometimes), but electronic or classical tends to boosts my productivity.
Same here. Piano concertos are for days when I really need to work through some big ideas, otherwise it's Chinese Man, Thievery Corp or the like.
I have Pandora/Spotify stations all trained up for either mood. I also have a standing desk, so if I look up at people as they pass they always stop and ask if I'm DJing.
Lesson learned: Don't make eye contact.
I also often use Ambience [ambianceapp.com] pretty regularly, creating mixes of birds chirping, streams running by, etc. to keep my mind alert. There's no natural light where I work, so any little bit helps.
Re:Working and Listening are Mutually Exclusive (Score:4, Interesting)by master_kaos (1027308) on Wednesday October 30, 2013 @11:23AM (#45280735)I ALWAYS have my headphones on, even if I am not listening to anything -- they are noise cancelling so it drowns out a lot of the background noise.
If I am just doing routine coding I need music. I don't actively listen to it, it's just there. I couldn't tell you the song that previously played.
If there is problem I am struggling with to solve I need to turn off the music otherwise it is a distraction, as I need all my attention focused on solving the problem.
I will also shut my office door. A shut office door at our work is a massive DO NOT DISTURB, basically the building better be on fire if you dare even knocking on the door; if something is super urgent a phone call is allowed, otherwise email. However the shut door policy shouldn't be abused i.e you better be in a meeting, on an important call, or working on a hard problem, not just doing your routine work.
When you need to concentrate more, turn down the volume on the music to the point where it doesn't distract you. That's what works for me.
It's especially useful for miserable boring projects, where the task is more to pay attention to what you need to do than to figure out how to do it.
It only says wear headphones nothing about playing anything. Headphones are great just for getting casual interruptions to go away. Someone has to get your attention visually, and wait for you to take hte headphones off, which is more than most people are willing to endure (and if they do it once, they usually won't come back for a second dose).
The trick is to make it all a big production, even if you hear them and know they're waiting. 30 seconds of feigned ignorance, then they get impatient and wave or ta

The same thing happens to me. I think it's a function of detail -- I don't have good speakers, but I have phenomenal headphones. I can't hear the detail on the speakers, so it doesn't draw me in.
This also means I don't experience this with simpler, repetitive music like EDM. Give me something orchestral, though, and I'll catch myself closing my eyes to focus on it and lap up every tiny detail.

The guy who sits behind me listens to earphones, but when he gets up, he leaves them on the desk, so I get that you-can-barely hear it noise coming from behind me. Often it takes me a while to work out where it's coming from and I wonder what I'm hearing.

The whole point of getting people into an office together is so that they can communicate and get work done faster than if they were all telecommuting. I think headphones hurt that, it's annoying to have to tap people on the shoulder to ask them something. Obviously you shouldn't bug people if you don't have to, but this applies with or without headphones.
In an office (with actual doors), perhaps, but an open floor plan solution is to save money, not to increase collaboration. All research articles I have noticed over the years conclude that productivity plummets in an open floor plan solution. If there is a job description it is suited for, I have yet to see it mentioned. The upsides of collaboration and camaraderie is obliterated by noise levels and disruptions.

Why would I need headphones? I've got my own office now! ^_^
That said, I do listen to music more or less constantly, and most of the time I can't function nearly as well without it. There are certain times, though, when I'm trying to get my brain through some particularly convoluted chain of logic that I'll need to code, that the music, for whatever reason, suddenly becomes a distraction.

I'm all for the headphones at work.
When I see someone wearing them, I assume that they are heads down solving a problem and because of the intensity of the problem they need privacy. The headphones is a unobtrusive way to make that point.
When companies have the Future at Work scenario or cubicles with no private offices sometimes there is just way too much distracting noise. Many people do work well in that environment, but for others the headsets allow one to dampen the white noise, or change it to a white noise that is more suitable fhttp://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl#or one's purpose.

I work with a headset on all day, so it's kinda hard for me to do my job without "headphones".
"Whaaaat? I can't hear you!"
On a vaguely related note I wonder if conventional earplugs (not earphones) might damage hearing from loud internal noises like coughs because the internally generated sound energy may not escape the ear as easily.
I actually work better without (read: in silence), but when there are 3 discussions going on at the same time on the work-floor, it's sometimes better to pump up the volume.
i.e. when I want to listen to something and not annoy everyone around me.
speaking of which, the other day someone was watching a youtube video on their phone in a restroom stall... without headphones. Is that a thing now? I hope not.
Why can't someone make a Bluetooth capable set of ear protection that works with the iPod that doesn't cost a fortune.. The ear bud cables keep getting snagged in my work. I've used a set of Bluetooth ear buds and put ear protectors over them but they were too bulky and uncomfortable and quit working after a week anyway. I see a lot of inexpensive Bluetooth speakers and can't understand why it's so hard to make something similar for are protectors.

Jetty6 Release Process
Currently the release procedure for Jetty6 is a mostly manual operation:
- Verify that there are no blocking issues on the lists or in JIRA.
- Update VERSION.txt with the release number and date and commit to trunk.
- Create tags in jetty and jetty-contrib repositories with a copy from trunk (or the branch used as a basis for the release):
svn cp -m 'release x.y.z' https://email@example.com/jetty/jetty/trunk https://firstname.lastname@example.com/jetty/jetty/tags/jetty-x.y.z svn cp -m 'release x.y.z' https://email@example.com/jetty-contrib/jetty/trunk https://email@example.com/jetty-contrib/jetty/tags/jetty-x.y.z
- Checkout tag:
svn co https://firstname.lastname@example.com/jetty/jetty/tags/jetty-x.y.z
- Edit svn:externals to include contrib tag:
cd jetty-x.y.z svn propedit svn:externals . # change trunk to tags/jetty-x.y.z rm -fr contrib svn up
- Update the poms and other files to change 6.1-SNAPSHOT to x.y.z:
The diff in the script will sometimes need to be updated. Recursive
bin/change_version.sh x.y.z
greps should be done to make sure that all 6.1-SNAPSHOT references have been updated.
- Commit the changes to the tag:
svn commit -m 'release x.y.z' svn commit -m 'release x.y.z' contrib
- build the release
#build the release bundles:
mvn install cd project-website mvn install cd ..This builds a binary and source zip bundle in the parent directory.
bin/build_release_bundles.sh .
#build additional bundles and jars:
NOTE: you will need the rpmbuild utility installed in order to build the rpm module.NOTE: please also use jdk1.4 to build the jboss sar, as this will use jsp-2.0, which some versions of jboss seem to need in order to run it's web console correctly.
cd contrib/maven-beanshell-plugin mvn install cd contrib/rpm mvn install cd ../jetty-ant mvn install cd ../../extra/jboss mvn -Djboss.home=<your jboss install dir> install cd ../..
- Tell somebody else about the tag and ask them to check it out and test it!
- Test the tag yourself in situ (if you need to fix anything you will need to completely clean and go back to first build step).
- Test the built bundle
- Test the RPM
- Wait a day for other feedback from other testers
- Create directories in distribution directories and copy artifacts to codehaus (webdav to https://dav.codehaus.org/dist/jetty/ ) and mortbay (scp to email@example.com:/home/ftp/pub/jetty-x.y.z/). The artifacts to upload are:
- jetty-x.y.z.zip
- jetty-x.y.z-src.zip
- jetty-ant-x.y.z.jar
- jetty6-*-x.y.z.noarch.rpm
- jetty-x.y.z-jboss-p.q.y.GA-jsp-2.1.sar
- ONLY WHEN YOU ARE REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY SURE EVERYTHING IS REALLY REALLY REALLY OK, then push the maven artifacts:
mvn deploy
- Tell everybody: blogs, lists, etc.
- Wait for the bug reports to come in

PHILADELPHIA — On the first day of Amare Stoudemire's Big Man Camp last summer, Creighton star Doug McDermott returned to his previously empty hotel room to find that a hefty, green travel bag had arrived.
That color, he figured, had to reveal clues about the identity of his roommate.
"I'm like, 'This has got to be Tony Mitchell from North Texas,' " McDermott said Saturday, recollecting the details of past experiences that form an intriguing backdrop to Duke's matchup with Creighton in the NCAA Tournament.
When the owner of the green bag appeared, it wasn't Mitchell.
Out walked Duke's Ryan Kelly, from the bathroom.
"I was like, 'What's up, man? I thought you'd have like a Duke Nike bag or something,' " McDermott said. "That was kind of funny."
The two forwards with similarly versatile basketball skills shared notes on each other's games there in Chicago — McDermott learned the steps by which Kelly works to get off his fading jumper that's inspired by Dirk Nowitzki — and later joined in a paintball excursion after finishing up at the LeBron James Skill Academy in Las Vegas.
Well, actually, McDermott and Kelly sat out of paintball for fear of dirtying their shoes. Duke's Mason Plumlee did play, however. And apparently, he was a monster out there.
"Big target, but he was good," McDermott said. "He wasn't afraid of anyone."
Tonight, when Duke and Creighton compete for a spot in the Sweet 16, those friendly dealings have to be compartmentalized, said Kelly, his businesslike demeanor Saturday conveying a serious tone as compared to McDermott's affable storytelling.
McDermott, the two-time All-American, the nation's second-leading scorer (23.2 points, 7.6 rebounds per game), clearly is the lynchpin for a Creighton team that stands between Duke and a trip to next weekend's region semifinal in Indianapolis.
That, the win-or-end-the-season ultimatum that accompanies tonight, has to be the focus for the Blue Devils, Kelly said, plainly.
"He's a good guy. But none of that matters when we step on the floor," Kelly said. "We learned a little bit from each other in the summer. That's what the summer is for. This isn't the summer anymore. All that matters now is winning.
"It makes it interesting, that you know guys on the other team. But honestly, for me personally, when I step on the floor, that just kind of disappears. We can be friends off the court or whatever, but on the court it's a battle. And we have to win."
Winning for Duke hinges on combating the bulk of Creighton's 6-foot-9, 260-pound Gregory Echenique (9.6 points, 6.6 rebounds per game) and the all-around floor game of the Bluejays' 6-5 Grant Gibbs (8.6 points, 5.9 assists, 4.1 rebounds per game).
And, of course, there is the 6-8 McDermott, the National Player of the Year candidate, who has supplied seven games of 30 or more points this season, including a 41-point masterpiece earlier this month against Wichita State that helped Creighton clinch the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title.
The 6-11 Kelly will draw Duke's primary defensive assignment on McDermott tonight.
"You always have to be in a stance and moving," Kelly said. "He does an unbelievable job, whether it be playing off screens or cutting toward the basket or quick posts, you can never be surprised by his movement. Not many big guys do that. That's something I have to be prepared for."
The company line from Duke players Saturday was that McDermott's style can be compared to that of Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas, who Kelly did a commendable job defending in November, when Duke beat Ohio State 73-68.
Thomas had 16 points on 6-for-14 shooting from the field that night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
But there are uniquely mirroring qualities between McDermott and Kelly, too. Both big forwards can score from down low on the block, face up in the mid-range areas and step out beyond the arc to knock down 3-pointers.
Kelly has averaged 15.6 points and 5.6 rebounds since returning from the right-foot injury that kept him shelved for nearly two months.
"Those guys are very similar," Duke point guard Quinn Cook said. "They put up big numbers. You have to stay attached to them. You can't lose them. They can do it all. You have to have awareness for them as soon as they cross half court."

Cool piece of kit
Reviewed by Brin. Review Posted 31/01/2014
Got one of these via DABS - quick and reliable turnaround as ever. It was a replacement for my old Plusnet Thompson router, which didn't do decent wireless speeds and didn't have gigabit wired LAN. This was simple to connect - had the IP address in the 'quick setup' booklet, but also came with a CD for those lacking 'tech' savvy. Was easy to configure (had all the plusnet settings built in). Does the job - all in all a very nice piece of kit and at a reasonable price.

Good budget upgrade with useful parental controls
Reviewed by Ed. Review Posted 03/12/2013
This was an upgradfrom the "Technicolor" router provided by my ISP which was very slow with parental filtering enabled. Delivery from Dabs was within 2 days of my order - a little over-packaged, the outer cardboard box could have held 6 of them easily! Set-up was easy, a wizard asks a few basic questions (ISP/username/password) then simply replaced the old router with the new. The firmware as supplied was version 1.0 so I went straight to the TP-LINK website and upgraded to the latest version. (NOTE: If you plan to use OpenWRT with this router, don't do that - TP-Link have changed something in the bootstrap of the latest release which is incompatible with OpenWRT!) I used the "Firewall" settings to limit children's access during homework hours and after bedtime by device MAC address. This has been an immediate success (from my point of view anyway). The "Parental controls" section allows access ONLY during the configured times so not quite what I want. A worthwhile upgrade.

Stops Working!!!!

Reviewed by Mr.B.Chamberlain. Review Posted 20/05/2014
I am very disappointed with this router.
It has lasted less than six months before developing a fault and becoming useless.Although its not the most expensive router on the market,it's neither the cheapest so I expected it to last longer than it has.
As the last TP-LINK product I purchased had a short life span (around the six month mark again), I decided to hang fire before leaving any feedback. Needless to say, I will be using another brand in future.

EA Bioware sent me some press material for their upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins. I loved the Baldur's Gate games back in the day, and I am looking forward to seeing this new game as it is touted as a "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate.
Bioware also seems to be positioning this game as a "mature" game, heavy on the blood, violence and possibly sex. It will be interesting to how successful they are. I have no idea how this game will be released in Germany. The very logo is formed out of blood spatter.
I must confess that whenever a work--be it a game, book, or movie--announces that they are trying to be "adult" and "mature" by focusing on violence and sex, I get a sinking feeling. Very often these "mature" works eschew laughter, as if laughter is childish. They go all Sturm und Drang, and end up overly dreary and rather boring.
The single best part of Baldur's Gate was Minsc and his minature Giant Space Hamster Boo. I worry that in Bioware's attempt to be adult, Dragon Age will actively avoid elements like Minsc, and end up a weaker game. But perhaps the Alistair character will fill this void.
A final tip for EA Bioware's advertising team: Using Marilyn Manson to backdrop a fight scene does not demonstrate maturity. It demonstrates a teenager's lack of taste. Let's hope the game has more sense.

They're doing a similar thing with Mass Effect 2 as well ( http://www.kiasa.org/2009/09/29/society-drives-people-crazy-with-lust-and-calls-it-advertising/ ). Like Brian Green points out in a comment, it seems likely it's a result of the "EA" bit of "EA Bioware"...

I have faith in Bioware's track record of firm storytelling. I'm not as concerned with the backdrop as with a cinematic game that tells a story, and bioware has done enough for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. I am going to read reviews on Dragon Age when it comes out, and if it looks good, I will probably buy it.

That trailer was a significant turn-off for me, which is sad, because that's a game that I might be interested in. Not that one trailer is going to destroy my interest in a game from Bioware (very few things could, actually), but it's not really encouraging.
Why don't design companies get that there's a middle ground between gratuitous and sanitized? I don't want sanitized, I'm not a small child living in a world of fluffy bunnies and rainbows anymore... but I don't need oceans of blood and intestines for party streamers either. Something in between would do.

I agree with everything you just said, Rohan. Violence and sex does not equal maturity when it's dealt with in an adolescent way. And humorlessness isn't fun.
When I found out WAR didn't have dances, and touted that as a selling point, I knew it wasn't the game for me. Adults like to have fun too.

Maybe I am alone in this, but after seeing the trailer, I am excited to play DAO.
Don't get me wrong, I don't revel in gore and sex or anything like that. But it looks like a good storyline that could be entertaining to play.

I love it......he gives the Thunder an A for a player who has missed
12 games with ankle and is still injured and has been performing subpar even before the injuries. Right now I feel the same way I did when
we traded Baron Davis. By the way is he still playing or is he on his seasonal "injury vacation" right now? Everyone was upset with that trade and what did he do for GS or has he done for the Clippers?

You dont like them, send them my way. I have one on the way and can not wait to let it fly. I havent thrown one yet, but from what some Discraft players in NC and FL have told me, look out these are great.
I've chuck one a couple of times and really the jury is still out. I see them exactly like Discraft intended, as their version of the Boss but haven't thrown one enough to notice any differences. Maybe someone else has some insight on them that they could contribute. Good luck throwing!
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
so how does the katana fly bpait ???
Sweeeet! This thing added some D to my game for sure. It flies alot like a faster beast. I parked hole 1 at IQ with it the first throw with about 60 percent power. before I got it it was taking 110 percent power w an orc. Its the first high speed driver I can handle that doesnt hurt when thrown. It will probably flip for U Brian the Crusher

Yep longest disc in my bag right now. I can out throw S-shots with my nukes on straight hyzers.
I still havent thrown it yet. I am planning on it this weekend assuming the rain holds off long enough for me. I would love to find one of those 165 nukes. If they are anything like the bosses I have had, they will be even meaner than the 175's. Crazy throwing!!!!!
Brad, I am still holding a couple for you.
I got two dyed ESP's. 168 and 167, if I anhyzer them they will stay over for a while coming back out at the end. Thrown on a hyzer they'll pop up and straight with a little fade at the end. When I was field testing the boss, even the light ones faded hard at the end unless I threw them really hard. I don't want to have to crank it every time I throw it. I had been driving with the Surges I got from you BP. Before I replace them I'll have to really beat in these nukes to make sure they're not too light. I'm feeling I might have to go into the 170s.
JH, if you end up not liking the Nukes let me know. I had Martin pick up a 168 for me from the Memorial and the few throws that I have had with it I like it. I'm sure we could work out something.

The main reason cyclists get hit by cars is that the driver didn't see the cyclist.
This light will certainly get the attention of others on the road, whether at night or during the day.
The light attaches securely, yet you can remove it in an instant, leaving the clamp on the seat post.
I totally would buy this again.

Seventeen more obituaries of Western District pioneers join the collection this month, and what a group they are. I must say I had to pass a lot over, but it will ensure Passing with the Pioneers will be going to at least January 2014! New papers at Trove has guaranteed that. Obituaries came from the Portland Guardian, Horsham Times and Ballarat Courier.
There are a couple of special ones, those of James HENTY and Rebecca KITTSON and I highly recommend that you read the obituary in full. I actually found Rebecca's obituary rather moving and after driving through the Bridgewater area recently, I have great respect for her family and others that settled there. To read the full obituary, just click on the pioneer's name and the obituary will open in a new tab. Some are a little hard to read, but magnifying the page helps.
I have also included a "young" pioneer who has a family link to me. Thank you to Rachael Boatwright for allowing me to include a photo of her family member.
James HENTY – Died January 12, 1882, Richmond, Victoria. I thought trash magazines today told all, but the obituary of the Honourable James HENTY M.L.C. shared every detail of the last 24 hours or so his life. How can I possible give a summary of the life of James HENTY, one of the famous pioneering HENTY clan? Instead, read the obituary, it is great! Sadly I think James' life may have ended prematurely, if that is possible at 82, due to a collision with a Newfoundland dog the week before.
Hugh MCDONALD – Died January 30, 1899, Portland. This is a timely obituary coming so soon after my Portland trip. While there, I learnt something of the wreck of the steamer "Admella" in 1859 and the Portland life boat crew that went to her aid. Hugh McDONALD was one of the brave men on board the life boat during that daring rescue.
William GARDINER – Died January 17, 1904, Warracknabeal. William GARDINER, another pioneer with an interesting life. He arrived in Victoria in 1849 aboard the barque "Saxon" and spent time in Melbourne, Geelong and the goldfields, before heading to New Zealand. On his return to Australia, he lived in Port Fairy and Hamilton, working as a journalist, before moving to the Wimmera as a correspondent for the "Belfast Gazette". He like it so much, he decided to select land at Warracknabeal. He also worked as a correspondent for the "Horsham Times" and built houses!
Jean MccCLINTOCK – Died January 19, 1904, Melbourne. While only 40 at the time of her death and not an "old pioneer", I have included Jean as she was the sister-in-law of Alfred Winslow HARMAN. Jean married William MILLER and they resided at Rupanyup. After some illness, Jean travelled to Melbourne for an operation, but she died as a result.
I must say William is sporting a fine moustache and would have been a contender for Inside History Magazine's Movember fundraiser Hairy Mancestors.
Joseph JELBART – Died January 17, 1904, Carapook. Joseph worked as the mail contractor between Carapook and Casterton up until his death. Prior to that, he had worked as a blacksmith and a wheelwright at Chetwynd, Merino and Natimuk. Interesting coincidence, just as Joseph did, his father and brother both died on a Sunday morning in the same house.
Rachel Forward READ – Died January 15, 1904, Lower Cape Bridgewater. Rachel Forward READ and her husband Richard Charlton HEDDITCH arrived in Adelaide in 1838 and settled at Cape Bridgewater from 1845 after a stint teaching at the Portland Church of England school. They resided at the Lal Lal Homestead. The Victorian Heritage Database listing for Lal Lal includes a letter home by Rachel after their arrival at Cape Bridgewater. Rachel was buried at the Cape Bridgewater cemetery rather than the Hedditch family cemetery at Lal Lal.
Donald McRAE – Died January 12, 1914, Tooan. Donald McRAE was born in Inverness, Scotland in 1842 and travelled with his parents to Portland. In 1865, he moved to Muntham near Hamilton to farm with brother. The pair eventually selected 320 acres of land each at Natimuk. Donald was a member of the Horsham Caledonian Society.
Samuel WALKER – Died January 24, 1914, Ballarat. Samuel WALKER was born in Cheshire, England around 1828 and travelled to Australia in 1852. After his arrival on the goldfields of Ballarat, he set up a soda water factory which proved profitable for him. He then became a partner in Evans and Walkers and worked as an accountant. He was also the registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages at Ballarat from 1872.
Selina MILLER – Died January, 1917, Wickliffe. Selina MILLER had resided at Wickliffe for almost 60 years. She was twice married. Her first husband was Mr HAIG and her second, George HARRIOTT.
Phillip ORMSBY – Died January 12, 1918 at Ellerslie. Phillip ORMSBY was born in County Cork and attended the Dublin University as a young man to study medicine. The lure of Australia was too great, and he abandoned his studies to sail to Australia on the Champion of the Seas in the early 1850s. After three years on the Ballarat goldfields, he selected land on the banks of the Hopkins River at Ellerslie. He was one of the founding members, and chairman for eight years of the Framlingham and Ellerslie Cheese and Buttery Factory. Phillip was also president of the Shire of Mortlake for two years. Only months before his death, one of Phillip's sons was killed in France.
Mrs Elizabeth HARDINGHAM – Died January 3, 1919, Horsham. Mrs HARDINGHAM was born in Norwich, England around 1831 and travelled to Australia with her husband, Mathias HARDINGHAM in the mid 1850s. From Geelong they travelled to the Horsham area and were two of the first pioneers in that district. Mathias ran the Horsham Hotel for some time.
Mrs Christine SANDERS – Died January 8, 1921, Vectis. Christine SANDERS was born in Yorkshire, England around 1835. As a teenager, she travelled to South Australia with her parents. She married Robert SANDERS who had also travelled with his parents on the same immigrant ship.
John W. DAVIS – Died January 24, 1928, Horsham. John or "Jack" as he was known, arrived in Australia as a three old, living in Williamstown and then Stawell. He played with the Temperance Union Band in Stawell and then moved to Horsham in 1877 to play with one of two brass bands in the town. Known throughout the northwest for his ability as an euphonium player, Jack was also a bandmaster at Natimuk and Noradjuha.
Rebecca KITTSON – Died January4, 1929, Portland. What a grand old pioneer Rebecca KITTSON was. A colonist of 88 years, she was a month from her 102nd birthday. Arriving in Melbourne from Ireland aged 11, she spent the next year in Melbourne, before joining her family at Cape Bridgewater where her father James Kittson had settled. She married Reverend William LIGHTBODY, a Wesleyan minister in 1852. This obituary is a "must read". Mrs LIGHTBODY, as she was known for most of her life, was the last surviving member of her family and the obituary gives a glimpse at how the KITTSON'S came to be in Australia.
Adrian ANDERSON – Died January 16, 1932, Horsham. This is a first for Passing of the Pioneers. Adrian ANDERSON was an immigrant from the United States. Wisconsin to be precise. He arrived aged four, with his parents and resided in Western Australia until he was 10. The family moved to Victoria, where he remained. He ran a shop in Jeparit before his death in the Horsham Base Hospital.
Agnes Sarah COOK – Died January 18, 1942, Casterton. This obituary begins "Born in a small house on the banks of the Glenelg River at Casterton 79 years ago…". Agnes was a lady that like the past and the future, knowledgeable about the history of Casterton, she also liked to predict the future. Agnes married Robert SYLVESTER and they had four children.
Helen GULL – Died January 18, 1942, Casterton. Helen was born on the ship "Helen" during her parents' voyage to Australia in 1852. The GULL family became respected pioneers throughout the Western District. Helen married Frederick PERRY in 1876 and they resided at well known Western District properties, Rifle Downs at Digby and Runnymeade at Sandford. Frederick later ran the Digby Hotel.

Barton Claims a Pair of Tight Doubles Matches Defeating Men's Tennis 6-3
March 27, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Barton College claimed all three doubles matches, two by a 9-8 final, to knock off Pfeiffer University 6-3 in Conference Carolinas mens tennis action on Saturday afternoon at the Knapp Tennis Center. Barton improves to 9-3 overall, 3-2 in league play as the Falcons drop down to 6-4, 1-2.
PA Desilets/Matt Jackman had the only easy victory in doubles with an 8-4 win over Andrea Cazzaro/Frank Pouchet in the middle position. Cesar Grobel/Roman Mendoza needed a 7-1 tiebreak over Philip Lawson/Johan de Wit while Diego Salinas/Eduardo Stefani claimed a 7-5 tiebreaker in the 9-8 set decisions at number one and three doubles.
In singles action, the Bulldogs claimed victories at the first two positions as Grobel defeated Cazzaro by retirement and Mendoza flying past Lawson 6-3, 6-1. De Wit claimed a Falcon point along with Kaushik in the two middle matches of singles with identical 6-3, 6-0 victories. The Bulldogs claimed an insurance point in the fifth position as Salinas came out with a pair of one and one wins over Pouchet while Kerr claimed the final Pfeiffer point with a 7-5, 6-1 win at number six.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday and Wednesday hitting the road for a pair of Conference Carolinas matches at Queens and Limestone. Both matches will begin at 2:00 p.m.
