ADDISON COUNTY — Middlebury defeated visiting Vergennes this past Wednesday for its first win to highlight local girls' basketball play in the latter part of last week. In other games, Mount Abraham won on the road, while Otter Valley and the Tigers dropped home contests.
On Friday, the Commodores also hosted the Eagles; see story.
BRISTOL — Two boys' basketball teams experiencing different seasons, Vergennes and Mount Abraham, met in the Mount Abraham Union High School gym on Tuesday, and unfortunately for the host Eagles, the trends continued.
The Commodores took control with a 22-0 run that spanned the first and second quarters, and they improved to 10-1 with a 68-20 victory.
"I like our guys," said VUHS Coach Peter Quinn. "They have good team spirit. They pull for each other. They're having fun, and they're playing better."
ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school basketball action earlier this week, the Mount Abraham girls and Middlebury boys each won, while the Vergennes, MUHS and Otter Valley girls came up short.
The VUHS boys also visited Mount Abe on Tuesday; see story on Page 1B.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — The Middlebury College women's basketball team won once in three recent games, including a split of weekend NESCAC road contests. The Panthers are 10-7 heading into a Thursday, Jan. 22, home game vs. Keene State, and then are off until Jan. 30.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men's basketball team won three recent homes games, including two NESCAC games over the weekend, to improve to 13-2, 2-2 in league play.
On Friday, Jan. 16, the Panthers used a 27-7 run to close the first half on the way to a 97-60 victory over Wesleyan. That surge gave the Panthers a 51-24 lead at the break that they stretched in the second half. At one point, Middlebury led by 76-34.
ADDISON COUNTY — The Otter Valley boys defeated visiting Mount Abraham to highlight local high school basketball play late last week.
In other action, the Middlebury boys, Vergennes girls and OV girls all came up short in a light schedule due to exams.
In Brandon on Friday, OV's John Winslow scored 20 points as OV coasted past the winless Eagles, 59-21. Emmett Thurston added 11 as the Otters improved to 8-2.
MIDDLEBURY — After splitting their first two NESCAC games of the season this past weekend, the Middlebury College women's basketball team hung on to defeat visiting Potsdam State on Tuesday, 65-53, a result that pushed the Panthers' record to 9-5 under first-year coach K.J. Krasco.
The two wins mean the Panthers have already surpassed the program's seven from the 2013-2014 season, and the 14 victories from the winter before that are within reach.
CASTLETON — The Middlebury College men's basketball team won once in three recent games, winning at Castleton on Tuesday after suffering its first two losses over the weekend in NESCAC road contests.
The 10-2 Panthers host Wesleyan at 7 p.m. on Friday and Connecticut at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
On this past Tuesday, Connor Huff scored a career-high 20 points and 11 Panthers scored in a 94-56 victory at Castleton (4-7).

More Than Temperatures Put Elderly At Risk
The State of Michigan's Office of Services to the Aging — Michigan Seniors has issued a warning to all older adults and their caregivers about the impact summer heat has on older adults. "Because aging affects the body's ability to respond to summer heat, older adults are particularly at risk for heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke, heat fatigue, heat cramps and heat exhaustion, according to the U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA)."

Activist Cindy Sheehan, a nuke mystery and a visit to Gaza
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Tuesday) | Listen to this entire show:
Welcome to Radioactivity. I'm Rob Lorei. Today's program comes in three parts: We'll hear from peace activist and author Cindy Sheehan, we'll meet a local recreational fisherman who had a harrowing encounter with a nuclear submarine off Key West, and we'll get an eyewitness account of the situation in Gaza from a local peace activist who has just returned from the Middle East.
But first some comments about last Thursday's program on which the topic of right-wing conspiracy theories was raised (in the wake of the shooting at the U.S. Holocaust museum last week.
Internationally known activist and author Cindy Sheehan will be in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, June 17. Cindy has authored three books and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after the death of her son in Iraq inspired the now infamous 2005 vigil at the doorstep of George Bush's Crawford Ranch.
Cindy will discuss her recently published Internet booklet, Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution, at two venues in downtown St. Petersburg. Both events are free and open to the public.
The evening will begin at 6 p.m. at NOVA 535 (located at 535 MLK Jr. Blvd, N.; Cindy will discuss her latest work followed by a book signing.
Cindy will then be at Cafe Bohemia (937 Central Ave., six blocks from NOVA 535) from 8 to 9 p.m. for a casual mix and mingle, followed by a question-and-answer session. Local musicians will provide the evening's music.
This event is being co-sponsored by St. Pete for Peace, WMNF 88.5 FM, Veterans for Peace (Tampa Bay), and Refuge Ministries. For driving directions, parking info, and more please visit stpeteforpeace.org/cindy, call Dwight at (727) 864-1535 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com powered by Disqus

Welcome to the Grapevine
The Grapevine is administered by the UAF Marketing and Communications Department and was designed to dispel rumors, clarify misconceptions and clear up misunderstandings about UAF topics of a general nature to improve communication between the administration and the UAF community.
Many times departments are able to quickly resolve an issue and we post the solution to the problem here as well. Thank you for your suggestions.
As always, building and facilities issues that need attention should be forwarded to firstname.lastname@example.com or reported directly to 474-7000. Unsafe conditions should be reported to Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management here.
June 26, 2015 -- Food trucks on campus
I recognize that the university has a dining contractor and an associated exclusive vendor contract. It doesn't seem to me that the contractor would lose much if food trucks were allowed on campus because the dining contractor is not doing much business here in the summer anyway.
I'd hope that the chancellor would be supportive of the idea of food trucks on the campus in the summer since as a student here he ran a food truck of sorts (The Lemon Tree) on campus during the summer in his early days here.
Hope you can find time to respond...
From Pamm Zierfuss-Hubbard, Dining Services Contracts Manager
Dining Services is currently piloting a food truck on West Ridge beginning this Friday, June 26th for the summer. If this is successful, we'll look into working with other vendors as well. Leadership is supportive of having food trucks on campus but the food truck industry is largely unregulated and as such, can be a safety concern.
Several food truck explosions have occurred in the lower 48 as a result of the lack of regulation. We are working with the university fire department and fire marshall to determine how best to serve the campus community while keeping everyone safe. Thanks for your suggestion and in the future, please email any other suggestions directly to Dining Services at email@example.com.
June 25, 2015 -- Sponsoring flower beds
I've seen a flowerbed with a sign honoring a person. What's up with that? Is he somebody important?
UAF Groundskeeping has a new program that invites individuals to sponsor flower beds or planters. The sponsors are responsible for planting, watering, weeding and any other necessary care, and in return can have a sign acknowledging their contribution or honoring someone else.
Anyone who is interested in sponsoring can contact Bear Edson; there are no more sponsorships available this year, but next spring there will be another opportunity.
June 18, 2015 -- Distracted driving
We are thoroughly trained to be safe in our workplace. UAF will be a smoke-free Campus at the end of this year. Why do the Campus Police not ticket people who drive while talking on their cell phones? I thought it was against State law.
From Keith Mallard, UAF Police Cheif
While it's against the law to text and drive, it's not illegal to talk on the phone. It's certainly safer to focus completely on the task of driving, however.
June 12, 2015 -- Interim Chancellor Search
What is the timeline for naming an interim chancellor?
Pat Gamble, UA President
Interim Chancellor Search
A list of fully qualified interim candidates has been reviewed and accepted by Chancellor Rogers and myself. We are in the process of contacting these candidates to determine their availability (the successful interim candidate is expected to occupy the position for 10-12 months). Once that has been completed the list will be presented to UAF faculty and staff for written/email comment/recommendation to me, and I will decide not later than the end of July. That leaves a full month for overlap.
Permanent Chancellor Search
A formal search for the UAF chancellor will convene when faculty come back on contract in August. The administration of the search process will be conducted by UAF Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services Kari Burrell, acting as a non-voting member in charge of the committee organization. UAF faculty and staff will be asked to draw up an appropriate search committee, its composition and numbers. My expectation is that UAF will want wide representation. The selection process for recommending chancellor candidate(s) will be determined by that committee. I would expect a wide search and a full vetting process to be favored. If so that will shape the overall time table. Once presented with a recommendation the UA president will inform the Board of Regents and will confirm the final decision.
June 12, 2015 -- American Flag
I drive past Butrovich every morning going to work and have noticed that more often than not (or what feels like it) the American flag is lower on its flag pole than the Alaskan flag is. This morning was probably the worst I've seen it. This is unacceptable and needs to be remedied.
From Marianne Freelong, Customer Service Manager, Facilities Services
The mechanism holding the flags up is failing and the flags slip on a daily basis. We are still in the process of locating parts that will resolve the problem.
June 2, 2015 -- Dining options
Last time I ate at Dine 49 the cashier told me my meal was already paid for. Apparently the person in front of me had added $100 from their "Munch Money" because they had too much and nowhere else to spend it. Apparently dorm residents are required to purchase $2000 worth of food each term. That's a lot of food -- more than most students can eat on campus. I've heard that this arrangement may be changing, but new plans will not be announced until July.
Meanwhile, my daughter will be starting at UAF in the fall, and we need to make a decision as to whether to apply for residence halls. Since the application process includes a non-refundable fee, I am reluctant to apply without knowing how much food she will be required to eat each term. Is there any way we can find this out in advance?
From Pamm Zierfuss-Hubbard, Contracts manager
Meal plans are currently under negotiation with our new contractor and should be finalized by end of June. Please check the dining website at www.uaf.edu/dining for information or contact the office at 474-6661. Once the plans are finalized, we'll post the information (and resulting application) online so students can made decisions for the upcoming academic year.
June 2, 2015 -- Layoff notices
I read that the governor has begun sending layoff notices to state employees. Will UAF employees also be getting these notices, or are they not considered state employees?
From Kari Burell, Vice Chancellor and Executive Officer
The State of Alaska mailed layoff warnings to thousands of state employees due to the lack of a funded budget for FY16, however, President Gamble and the three chancellors have decided that, for now, the university will not be issuing similar blanket layoff notices.
The university has multiple revenue sources, in addition to state funding, so have more flexibility in managing budget uncertainties than the state does.
June 1, 2015 -- Blood work
My physician only has my blood work done every three years because it's not necessary to have it done annually if an individual is healthy. So, what is Healthyroads' justification for helping drive health care costs up by insisting on annual blood work for the rebate?
From Erika Van Flein, Director of Benefits
June 1, 2015 -- Pedestrian path project
There's quite a lot of brush cutting, tree removal, land gouging, and deep tire track-making near the ski trailhead off Sheep Creek Rd. Also many trees were removed at the corner of Sheep Creek and Miller Hill Rd. Can we please get accurate information on what's happening there?
From Mary Pagel, Project Manager

Full text not available from this repository.
The acid neutralization capacity of a cement/waste product is important because the integrity of the monolithic matrix and contaminant precipitation are dependent on the maintenance of alkaline conditions. A 1/8 fractional factorial experiment was used to selectively examine the main effects of seven pure metal compounds on strength development and acid neutralization capacity of portland cement paste and to obtain information regarding interactions between the compounds. The hydration products in a portland cement paste appear as plateaus in its titration curve. Metal contaminants were found to affect the pH and acid neutralization capacities of these plateaus, suggesting that they change the hydration products. Cr(NO3)(3) and ZnCl2, which exhibited individual effects and also interacted, caused the predominant effects. Comparison between predictions by a simple empirical linear model based on these contaminants and acid neutralization capacity of a real solidified metal plating waste showed that additional factors play an important role in real wastes.

Today is the day the chapters went live on gather.com, and mine has an egregious typo that I apparently stuffed in AFTER my two fabulous editors checked it over. Instead of no way, it says now way. Bleah. And I can't edit it -- it's disqualified if it is. I would see that, and my brain would turn off if I were reading it.
Oh, well. It made me finish the novel, and that's all the success I need right now.
1. 8:56
2. 1 hr.
3. I will read over the Nadine pages, fixing perspective problems.
4. 9:58
5. Went okay, struggled to stay focused and not think about the chapter, live out there, with a stupid typo. This one I'm working on, though, doesn't totally suck. And I stopped mixing perspectives as much - they're now separated into scenes about half-way in, so I came to my senses at some point.
6. Tomorrow I go back to work for a 60 hour week, so I'll keep reading. Goal for this is to finish the rough edit, and plot out the rest of the novel.
7. I'll work for an hour at work.

the craziness of ferry crossings...
There seems to be a lack of information out there for what it takes to get you and a motorcycle across the Sea of Cortez. The group of 5 of us had an unspoken goal to ride through Baja Ca in a time efficient manner. Collectively we were more interested in seeing the mainland. When we crossed in Tijuana, MX we did not stop at Imagracion because we didnt have to. We rode on. We kept seeing signs for it where we would stop for the night, but the consensus was that we could get all the appropriate stamps for the ferry crossing in La Paz. Maybe that was true if we had not arrived on a Saturday afternoon in preparation for a Sunday ferry crossing. Through Baja Ferries, passage from La Paz to Mazatlan is only Sunday, Tues, and Thurs. When we arrived at the banjacito to get the needed paperwork, we were informed that it was just the paperwork for the bike importation (this was after waiting an hour and a half for it to open.) But since we didnt have our tarjeta de tourista (tourist card with the stamp that show we imported ourselves) we couldnt do anything with the bikes, nor could we buy ferry tickets. We would have to wait until Monday for the Imagracion office in La Paz to open (but still wasnt guaranteed to give us a stamp since we should have received it in Tijuana). Other options were riding down to Cancun (about 300 mi away) or as two other travelers aboard rode back to Guerro Negro (again 300+ mi north) to get the stamp. It was the brilliant idea of one of the crew to get the stamp at the customs office at the local aeroporto (which was luckily an international airport and open on a Sunday morning). The officers there were kind enough to help us out with the tourist cards we needed. Rushing back to the office to get the paperwork for our bikes (processing 5 motorcycles takes some time) only to find out my bank decided to not allow any more use out of my debit card and no amount of phone calls would connect. After pooling for the needed funds, we weighed our motos (aout 330Kg a piece) and went to the ticket office to buy the last 4 seats (there are 5 of us and I freaked out a little being the last in line told that I wasnt going to have a seat not understanding I was still allowed on board I really need to learn more spanish). Alas, we made it on the ferry for a 16 hr crossing and met up with 8 other motorcyclists on the same route.
Right after this shot, the KTM on the far left fell over, causing the second to tip and hit the ground then any hand close by rushed to the third, just in time to keep the rest of the bikes from the domino effect.

Crosman Airgun
MAV 77 Underlever Air Rifle
The crows in my neighborhood are getting out of control—the fuckers wake me up every morning with their guttural "Kaw Kaw" calls and it's driving me insane. I think crows are kind of cool to look at, and I love all animals, but this constant wake up call bullshit is getting to me. I was wondering if it would be okay with ya'll if I buy this amazing Crosman Benjamin MAV 77 to take care of the crow problem? Apparently, It's "a useful tool when hunting small game and varmints." The website says it's easy to use too, "Simply cock the gun once to achieve maximum velocity and power. The fixed barrel design provides excellent leverage when cocking which results in smoother cocking motion." That's a lot of cocking action! Lets do this—who wants to come hunt some crow?—CC

Dear Sir or Madam:
There are two ways to answer your question. First is to comment on the intrinsic value and coverage of the certification. As my own review and analysis have convinced me, as well as others (see for example this discussion: http://www.certmag.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-96.html) the coverage and content for the CWNA does teach an individual how to set up, manage, and provide basic security for 802.11 networks. But you won't find that many job postings actually require (or even mention) CWNA (6 at Dice, 3 at Hotjobs, and so forth). As is the case with many technical credentials, you must be prepared to present and sell the value of the cert, and what it enables you to do, to make the most of this kind of investment.
HTH, and thanks for posting.

Retail managers are in charge of overseeing the operation of a retail store, including hiring and firing store employees, overseeing inventory, and managing customer service. The responsibilities of a retail manger vary depending on the size of the store. Many times, managers in small stores have a wider range of responsibilities than managers in larger ones. Managers of small stores typically control inventory and set prices; in some cases, they are in charge of deciding when inventory goes on sale. Large retail shops usually have computers track their inventory and do not have much control on pricing or sales; in these cases, it is the manager's responsibility to ensure that the inventory is priced correctly.Read More...
Retail managers are in charge of hiring staff, and they are expected to review all job applications and conduct interviews. They also are in charge of securing the store during times store is not in operation. Managers also are responsible for securely storing or depositing store revenue.
While no college degree is needed for this position, an associate's or bachelor's degree may help a store manager acquire necessary skills in business. Previous management and retail experience typically required.
Target Corporation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, Dollar General Corporation, Victoria's Secret, and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc are top-notch employers for Retail Managers in this area. The biggest paychecks can be found at Best Buy — the median salary there is $63K; however, employees are subject to a wide range in pay, with the lowest salaries sitting near $42K and highest ones in the neighborhood of $104K. Other big spenders include Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, Target Corporation, and Macy's, Inc., top-paying firms where Retail Managers see paychecks nearing $56K, $49K, or $49K.
A few other companies with smaller-than-average paychecks include Dollar General Corporation ($36K), Walgreen Co. ($36K), and LensCrafters Inc. ($37K).
Retail Managers seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Operations Management, Microsoft Word, Windows NT / 2000 / XP Networking, and People Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 8 percent and 12 percent. Those educated in Customer Service tend to be well versed in Inventory Management, Sales Management, and Operations Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Retail Managers do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Individuals who have worked for fewer than five years bring in approximately $34K on average. Those in the five-to-10 year range can expect an average that is only a touch bigger at $39K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $43K. Survey participants who have spent more than 20 years on the job report a predictably higher median income of $49K, demonstrating that compensation is roughly commensurate with experience in the end.
For Retail Managers, Miami provides a pay rate that is 43 percent greater than the national average. Retail Managers will also find cushy salaries in New York (+33 percent), Boston (+30 percent), Houston (+28 percent), and San Francisco (+25 percent). Seattle is home to the smallest salaries in the field, lagging the national average by 3 percent.

Texas Senate Hispanic Research Council
Spring 2011 Site ReviewPosition: Luna Scholar
Student: Government Junior
For my part, the Texas Senate and the Texas Capitol is the most prestigious internship site in Austin. Our State Legislature writes criminal laws, runs public schools and makes higher education policy, and manages a budget of over $70 billion dollars a year. Helping my Boss be effective and influential Legislator is the most rewarding experience of my career. I would caution that a capitol office internship experience would be vastly different if you interned during a legislative session as opposed to an internship during the interim. During the interim, there is simply not a whole lot of work to do. It is vitally important to answer each and every piece of constituent correspondence, because the people who write are likely to vote. During session, letters get lost in a mountain of work and everyone receives a standard reply noting the high volume of inquiries during session. It's a totally different atmosphere. I think session is best described in a few choice analogies. It is said that once you get this stuff in your blood, you never go away. Indeed now that I have taken part in this legislative session I fully expect to be back and to play a larger part in what happens in each subsequent session. The pace of session can be likened to that of a freight train. It starts off moving slow and steady, with lots of bells and whistles. Then it ramps up and picks up speed, but it always follows that same similar path. By the time the train is moving full speed, you have forgotten the slow pace of January and if you slowed down you would fall off the tracks. The point of these analogies is simply to demonstrate the point that if you continue to meet expectations, you can make it through session successfully-and even be welcomed back.
The last point I will add about a capitol internship is that it is completely what you make of it. The intern who spends their time in the office answering phones and making copies never picks up more duties because they are unwilling to excel in that "menial" task. If you remain diligent and invested in your own work product, then more responsibilities will follow.
Spring 2011 Site ReviewPosition: Legislative Intern/Luna Scholar
Student: Government Senior
A day in my life is can be summarized as hectic yet rewarding. Each Senate Office establishes what time for the staffers to get in. This time varies from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Our office gets in at 8:30 AM. It is often suggested to read the legislative clippings. The clippings are a service that the Legislative Reference Library provides in which they compile all the articles dealing with the Texas Legislature that are in newspapers that day. It is the best way to keep informed with the day-to-day changes. Then, I get started with reading the mail that has come in and assigning it to the staffers so they can respond. When session convenes, I may be one of the staffers assigned to staff Senator West in the Senate Chamber. If I am there, then I keep track of the bills being debated and those that are being voted on. I also make sure to facilitate any necessity that Senator West encounters. Sometimes, I may talk to the staffers of the other senators about a bill. Many staffers work their bills all the way to the floor. If I am in the Capitol Office, I will also take meetings with advocacy groups that come in and I assist them with their concerns. In the evening, I print out the Correspondence Report so that the Senator is aware of the concerns that constituents have addressed. This is the bulk of my administrative duties.
As an Education Policy Analyst, I attend the staff briefings for the staffers of the Senators that sit on the Education and the Higher Education Committees. These usually occur on Friday and Monday, respectively. I then read and analyze the implications of the bills and I put my report into the Legislative Management System. I prepare questions for Senator to ask about the implications of the bill if I as an analyst feel that there should be clarification. I assist the Chief of Staff with preparing the notebooks for the Senator's Committee Hearings. On the mornings of the Education and Higher Education Committee hearings, I monitor the hearings. Sometimes I may have to staff Senator West for these hearings as well. When I do that, I must sit behind him in committee and be keen to answer any questions that he may have about the bills.

Hello There, Guest!
[guide] The dos and don'ts of BFH, How not to be newbs and start off right
08-05-2012, 02:41 AM | Post: #1Richy_Greenback
I made this guide so people who are new know how to start off in BFH and not to become annoying newbs.
Lets start with your name, here some bad names:
Anything saying ____togunner, or mustangto____
Don't copy someone's name or something like it
Don't say anything hateful that can be criticized
Doing these things will make people automatically dislike you
Here are some good rules to follow when you are in-game so you don't annoy everyone:
1. Don't call people hackers whenever you die
2. Be nice, don't say bg, say gg. But only if truly is a bg/gg
3. Don't base-camp
4. If theres a spawnkiller, hacker, or statpadder- don't waste your time complaining, leave the server and find a new one
How to find good servers:
1. go to servers in forums and find ones you like
2. Find low level servers, don't play in high ones. Or ones that have people of the same level as you
3. Find ones with nice people in them
4. You may want to start out with unranked servers
Abilities can make people love you too, here's some good ability set-ups that make you less hated
Soldier: I recommend starting with this class or commando
Combat Medicine: 5/5
Blasting Strike: 4/5
Burning Bullets: 2/5
6th Sense: 4/5
Grenade Spam: 1/5
Leg it: 5/5
Hero Shield: 4/5
I Eat Grenades: 3/5
Keg: 3/5
Frenzy Fire: 1/5
Commando: I recommend starting with this class or soldier
Stealth: 2/5
Piercing Shot: 3/5
Elixir: 1/5
Mark Target: 5/5
Troop Trap: 5/5
Stealth: 4/5
Poison Blade: 4/5
Elixer: 3/5
Mark Target: 4/5
Troop Trap: 1/5
This is the hard part. If you want to be well known in BFH, take part in forums. But bad news, barely anyone will like you if you start out with big threads causing flame wars and dumb posts.
Here's how to become more well-known on the forums, start small then go big. But always remember: USE SEARCH AND SEE IF YOUR TOPIC HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED
1. Start with the Rating and Polls section and rate some outfits and other stuff, this way you can be known without jumping right in
2. I am putting this in as the second step because you will look kind of desperate if you just do this right away- introduce yourself in the "hello here I am" thread
3. Comment on guides and war stories, people will like your advice and comments. This way you will be known as a nice person.
4. Next move up too Multi-media and comment on gallery's and videos.
5. Take part in one game in the off-topic section, don't spam them all. And also DON'T do the "rate how famous the person above you is". Then take part in more games
6. By this point people will think you have enough experience to sign suggestions, but not all
7. Now ask for a signature
8. Start commenting on News, if your first even better
9. After repeating these at higher levels you can try and make your own thread
Nobody likes someone who just joined making these giant threads, so after the steps above, do this if you want to make a thread:
1. First of all- follow the rules with any post and don't have a title with all caps and a blunt description
2. Start with having people rate an outfit, listen to there ideas and don't get too offended
3. All next things are very big leaps so start making discussion threads in General Chat, BUT DON'T MAKE A FLAME WAR
4. If you want you can make a small story, nothing huge, in war-stories
5. Try and make a suggestion, but don't expect it to be huge. Keep it updated and make sure it hasn't been suggested before by searching.
6. Try making a group, not a clan, a group of something/someone you like and you think other people will like too.
7. If you have a drawing skill then make a gallery, many people who have galleries are only well known from them.
8. If you have a server you can advertise it.
9. If you have a clan you can advertise it
10. If you want to make a contest you can
11. If you think you are a good player try making videos
12. After you think you are really good try making a guide but by this point you shouldn't be considered new anymore
Well that is how to be well-known on the forums, and if you are new and want to use the forums this will give you step by step instructions on how not to be hated.
Basic do's and don'ts
Be nice
Use search
Be polite
Use manners
Be funny
Use guides
Speak English
Spawn Kill
Annoy people
Speak another language
If anyone has any suggestions tell me, I hope this helped!

This Is the only thing that bugs me.
some people cant help going in low level servers, this often causes aggressiveness.
Once I joined a match, unaware that people were around lvl 15 ( On my lvl 30 mind you)
and people started to rage at me with hateful words and taunting.
So yea. Try to stay in servers that have people that are around you level or higher. once you are lvl 30 however. it doesn't really matter because no matter what, everyone will be a lower level than you

Pretty sure you can say bg if you want. Not every game is a 'good game', so don't say it if it's not true. If it was a bg for you, say bg. Simple as that.

For the Forum:
The most important point if you are new to something, regardless what it is:
Read, before you ask questions!
Most of the questions a newcomer has are already answered in the forum, F.A.Q. or manuals. There are a lot of guides for beginners for every class, posts on weapons and abilities and so on.
If you really want to post a topic, remember KISS (keep it small and simple). Write all the stuff that is important but leave out the details that aren't.
Everybody can make mistakes in grammar or spelling, but try to reduce it to an absolute minimum, because that will make it easier to understand your point. If your are not a native English speaker (not from an English speaking country) ask someone to proof read your topic before posting, so you can correct your mistakes.
Use the spelling tools of your computer and the Internet (like http://dict.leo.org) but don't use translation machines.

As far as posting on the forums is concerned, everyone has different views and at some point, someone is going to disagree with you. Don't take negative responses to your posts as a personal attack.

I've played the game for 3 years and have a level 30 commando on both factions, plain and simple, it is a class built to grief, troll, camp, and for the majority of commandos, it promotes a cowardly and agonizingly slow style of play. Over 90% of the people using commandos would be more help to their team on a gunner or soldier.

I personally like my commando, but only as a pistolero or knifing guy. (don't worry, knifing doesn't always mean stalk ya know, it means rush in and kill)
I dislike my soldier, this is because of me, it is actually a good class but Im not really good at it.
I adore, love and play bfh for...my gunner. awsome class!

That is kinda how they were designed to be. Kinda how snipers work in most games.
I find it very fun to play mandos, soldier is pretty fun, and since the massive gunner update a few years back gunner is just a noob class.

This article first appeared at TheNewAmerican.com on Wednesday, November 12, 2014:
When the Department of Defense issued its annual Real Property Inventory, Dmitry Orlov, an investigative reporter and author of The Five Stages of Collapse, was curious to see how the American empire was doing. To his astonishment, looking back as far as 1957, Orlov discovered that it is shrinking, declining sharply last year and continuing a trend of shrinkage going back for more than a decade:
The US may still have control of its domestic and territorial bases, but it has suffered huge losses of foreign military bases and acreage. Since reaching "peak foreign military bases" in 2004, the US now has just 64% of them — a loss of over a third in a decade! In the case of acreage the US retains 69% of its peak acreage in 2006, so it has lost 31% of its foreign military acreage — also close to a third. If you want to guess at what's behind these numbers, you might want to look at them as the fallout from disastrous US foreign policy,

Working Title Films is a British film production company, based in London and owned by Universal Studios. The company was founded by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe in 1983. It produces feature films and several television productions. Eric Fellner and Bevan are now the co-chairs of the company.
Working Title Films was co-founded by producers Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe in 1983. In 1992, PolyGram became the company's corporate backer. Radclyffe left Working Title, and Eric Fellner, a fellow independent film producer, joined the company.[1] The company produced a variety of films for PolyGram's London-based production company PolyGram Filmed Entertainment. An Anglo-Dutch film studio, PolyGram Films became a major Hollywood competitor. In 1999, PolyGram was sold to the Seagram company and merged with MCA Music Entertainment, to form Universal Music Group. PolyGram Films was sold and folded into Universal Studios in 1999.
Although contractually allowed to produce any film with a budget of up to $US35 million, on a practical basis, Bevan and Fellner consult with studio executives at Working Title's parent company NBCUniversal.[2] Working Title is located in London. The company also has other offices located in Los Angeles and Ireland.
WT2 Productions[edit]
In 1999, Bevan and Fellner launched a subsidiary company named Working Title 2 Productions, commonly known as WT2. The company is an independent film production arm run by Natascha Wharton, and has produced films that include Billy Elliot, Shaun of the Dead and The Calcium Kid.[1]
TV division[edit]
Working Title has been active in television production since the early 1990s.[3] In 2010, Working Title officially launched its TV division as a joint venture with parent company NBCUniversal.[4] Since then, they have produced content for both British and American television.[5][6] Notable productions and co-productions developed by Working Title Television (WTTV)[7] include NBC's About a Boy, and Showtime's The Tudors.[3] WTTV has offices in London, headed by Juliette Howell, and Los Angeles, headed by Liza Chasin.[8][9]
1991 ITV franchise bid[edit]
In 1991, Working Title was involved in a bid for the London Weekend ITV licence. Working Title, Mentorn, Palace and PolyGram wanted to take over from London Weekend Television and broadcast to London under the name London Independent Broadcasting. In the event LWT retained its licence; London Independent Broadcasting's proposals were deemed by the Independent Television Commission, which was overseeing the bid process, to fail the quality threshold.[10]

|Traditional Thomas Rogers Lineage
(No longer the accepted lineage)
Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou and Lord of Aquitaine, born on 25 March 1133, was crowned King Henry II on 19 December 1154. England, at this time, became part of his vast empire. The English also acquired just the king they needed; one who could impose law and order after years of anarchy. He was well-organized and efficient and believed government should be the same. His lawcourts were run by judges who heard evidence from twelve 'jurymen'. "The greatest of many benefits that Henry II conferred upon England was legal reform. The new judicial procedure that he introduced was destined to shape the future of English society and politics, and to give distinctive habits of thought to all the English-speaking nations." He is also known as a close friend of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, until they had a disagreement over the Church vs. the law courts of England. This led to the murder of Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170. Henry II married Eleanor of Aquitaine. She was the daughter and heiress of Duke William X of Aquitaine. She was first married to King Louis VII of France. They had two daughters and no sons. Their marriage was annulled in 1151. In 1152 she married King Henry II. They had five sons and three daughters. Henry's sons were very difficult and caused many problems for their father. In 1189 Richard and John joined forces with King Philip of France, a great enemy of their father. These three made war on King Henry and defeated him. King Henry never recovered from this treachery on the part of his sons, and he died 6 July 1189 of a lingering illness and a broken heart. He was buried at his castle in France.
Richard, eldest son of King Henry II, known as Richard, The Lion Heart succeeded his father in 1189. He is considered one of England's most romantic kings. He was called 'Lion Heart' because he was a great warrior and a chivalrous knight. Despite being a great hero, Richard needed so much money for the defense of his territories in France that he "virtually put England up for sale" and sold everything he could to provide the money for his part in the Third Crusade (1189-1192). When Richard went off to war, his brother John plotted against him and, in 1199 when Richard died in France after supposedly being poisoned, John became King. He was Henry II's youngest son. He had a terrible reputation and was seen as evil and greedy. Due to a quarrel he had with the Pope in 1205, England was exiled from the Church. John ruled like a dictator. In his wars in France, he lost for England most all of Henry II's great empire. He was not trusted and, when the barons lost patience with him, they forced him to sign the Magna Carta: a list of their rights, privileges and land ownership in 1215. In history he is, ironically, best known for the Magna Carta. He died in 1216.
King John had two wives. His first wife was Isabella, Countess of Gloucester, daughter of William FitzRobert. They were divorced in 1200 and she died in 1217. His second wife was Isabella Taillefer of Angoulęme, France. Her father was Amyer DeValence, Count of Angoulęme and her mother Alice de Courtney. She was buried at Fontevrault in France. They had several children. The oldest son was Henry III who became the next King of England.
"It was during John's reign that an assembly of barons confronted the despotic King John and demanded that traditional rights be recognized, written down, confirmed with the royal seal, and sent to each of the counties to be read to all freemen. The result was Magna Carta - not a solitary document, but a momentous event for all who cherish liberty. In 1215, when King John acceded to the demands of his barons and confirmed Magna Carta with his seal, he was acknowledging the now firmly embedded concept that no man - not even the king - is above the law. That was a milestone in constitutional thought for the 13th century and for centuries following."
King Henry III was born the first of October 1207 in Winchester, England. He was the eldest son of King John by Isabella of Angoulęme. He was only nine years old when his father died. His personal rule did not begin until 1227 when he was proclaimed of age to rule. On 14 January 1236 he married Eleanor Berengar, daughter of Raymond Berengar, Count of Provence and Beatrice of Savoy. The wedding took place at Canterbury. French was still the language of the royal court but Henry occasionally used English for state documents. Henry entered into many failed expeditions to try and regain the continental possessions his father had lost. Because of these failures, he turned to a new ventures. His favorite projects in the last years of his life were in the field of Architecture and Art and he was very proud of the re-building of Westminster Abbey which took place during his reign. It was also during his reign that Salisbury Cathedral was started and completed (1220-1258) and Wells Cathedral (1230-1239). "During his reign, he can also be credited for supporting the beginnings of Parliament as we know it today. It was the natural outcome, through long centuries, of the common sense and the good nature of the English people. Parliament represented a friendly balance of power. The English people have always been distinguished for the 'Committee sense', their desire to sit round and talk till an agreement or compromise is reached. This national peculiarity was the true origin of the British Parliament. Henry III did much to increase the prestige of Parliament, he knew the value of the support of the middle classes in shire and town." Henry III died on 16 November 1272 and was buried at Westminster Cathedral.
Edward Plantagenet, eldest son of Henry III, became King Edward I in 1272 but was not crowned until 18 August 1274 when his father died because he was abroad, recovering from a wound he received while on a crusade, . Not only was he an excellent warrior, but he was also tall and very handsome and anxious to be well thought of. He wanted to provide more communication between royal power and life of the governed. He worked closely with Parliament and thus began the continuous political education of Englishmen. He simplified the process of collecting taxes but it took the help and knowledge of local representatives working with the King and their constituents to bring this about. This was the only way of communicating the King's wishes since, as yet, there were no newspapers and travel was difficult and dangerous for the average person. King Edward was also concerned with the well being of his subjects and wanted to know the real local needs and to keep a check on the misdeeds of local officials. He is also credited with stamping out corruption among tax collectors and other matters of government. He was truly a remarkable man - the ablest of all the Kings of The House of Plantagenet. He was respected and trusted and his reign was a time of progress and prosperity for England. At the close of the 13th century, in 1297, Magna Carta, as confirmed by Edward I, was entered on the English statute rolls.
On 18 October 1254 King Edward I married Eleanor of Castile, daughter of King Ferdinand III of Castile (now Spain) and Jeanne de Dammartin, Countess of Ponthieu. Eleanor's ancestors go back to Emperor Charlemagne. Edward and Eleanor had thirteen children. Theirs was a very happy marriage and he was deeply saddened when Eleanor died at age 45 on 18 October 1290. His second wife was Margaret, daughter of King Phillip III of France. He and Margaret had two sons, Thomas and Edmund. She died in 1317 and was buried in Gascony, France. Edward I died on 7 July 1307 at Burgh-on-Sands where he was fighting the Scots. He was buried, as he wished, at Westminster Abbey under a plain slab on which was inscribed "Edwardus primus Scottorum malleus hic est. Pactum serva." Translated this means "Edward the First, scourge of Scotland, lies here. Rest in Peace."
The sixth daughter of King Edward I and Queen Eleanor was Princess Eleanor Elizabeth Plantagenet born in 1282 at Ruddlan, Wales. She is our direct ancestor who married Lord Humphrey de Bohun VIII, an ancestor of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower, on 14 November 1302. The wedding took place at Westminster Abbey. Princess Elizabeth died 5 May 1316 at Quendon, Cambridgeshire, England. "The future Edward II who was born at Caernarvon Castle, Wales in 1282 became the first English monarch to have the title of Prince of Wales because his father, in a battle with the Welsh, caused the Welsh to lose the last of their own prince's so Edward I gave them another one 'who would speak no English'. Thus, when Edward II was born, the King 'gave' him to the Welsh: of course, the infant could not speak English - or any other language! From then on the eldest son of an English monarch has always been Prince of Wales."
I have taken the information about our direct line from the book by John Cox Underwood, published in 1911. He goes into detail about every family member in each generation but I only mention other family members if I feel it is needed to better understand the total family. Basically, the Rogers section of my book only covers the Rogers family back to Aaron or John Fitz Roger who was born in the latter part of the thirteenth century in Italy, of Norman parentage, and moved with his family to London, England circa 1260-70. The family was in the merchandising business and settled in Kent, Gloucestershire and Somersetshire. John Fitz Roger, son of Aaron was born about 1335 in England and became very wealthy by marrying Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Symon deFurneaux of Ashington and other manors in Somersetshire, Devonshire, etc. She was the widow of Sir John Blount, Constable of the Tower. With her second husband she was the co-founder of 'Rogers House' of South West England. Dame Elizabeth's paternal ancestors came from Furneaux, near Coutances - Normandy, the same general section where the Sicilian ancestors of the Rogers family are said to have resided. This information, and what follows, as I have previously stated, all comes from Mr. Underwood's book "Lineage of Rogers Family", published in NY in 1911. I include it because the Furneaux family, another branch of our family through Thomas Rogers, was very influential in English society for many years and closely connected to the Plantagenet's.
Odo deFornell or Furneaux was born about 1040 in Normandy and came to England with William the Conqueror, his son Sir Alan deFurnellis or Furneaux was born about 1075 in Normandy but settled in Devon and received from King Henry I a manor house and land near Honiton, Devon. He married and had four sons: Sir Alan, a Justiciary, 1165; Philip; William and the eldest, his son and heir Sir Galfride or Geoffrey deFurnellis or Furneaux who was born about 1117-22 and was appointed Sheriff of Devon. He was a very influential man; was knighted and married late - about 115 5. He had four sons - Geoffrey, born about 1158; Sir Robert, born about 1160, S ir Alan, born about 1162 and his eldest son and heir -Sir Henry (1) de Furnellis or Furneaux born about 1156. He also became Sheriff of Devon. He married, abo ut 1180, Johanna, daughter of Robert Fitz William, who brought to her husband th e manor of Ashington in Somerset. Having by right of his wife become Lord of th e manors in Somerset, he ultimately settled there; and had a least one son, Henr y deFurneaux (2), born about 1181. Henry (1) died in 1214. The eldest sons, an d our ancestors, in the next two generations were called Matthew. Matthew (1), born about 1220, was a Sheriff of Devon under King Edward I (1276). Matthew (2) was born about 1245 and, about 1270, married Matilda (or Maud), daughter of Sir Warren deRalegh of 'Nettlecombe' in Somerset. Sir Walter Raleigh, who became famous two centuries later, was a descendant of the same Ralegh, or Raleigh family. Matthew (2) also had a son, Sir Matthew (3) (ancestor of Thomas Rogers but not the eldest son in this generation) who was Lord of Ashington - his principal residence - and then became a Knight and was summoned to do military service against the Welsh in 1295 and against the Scots in 1296-7-8 and 1300. He was Sheriff of Somerset, Dorset & Devon variously, for terms covering many years during the period 1304-1316, the year of his death. In 1312 he had custody of Devon and the King's Castle of Exeter; and in 1315 was custodian of the counties of Somerset & Dorset, and the Castle of Shireborn. He was a prominent member of the Furneaux family. His son and heir was Sir Symon deFurneaux, born about 1271. Symon married Alice, daughter of Sir Henry de Umfraville of Penarth Point in Glamorgan Wales. He was one of the principal landowners of his county and died without surviving male issue (his only son, William, born in 1328, did not survive his father). Among the many honors bestowed upon him was a Knighthood of the Shire of Somerset, in the Parliament of Edward III (1328). His arms as recorded were: 'Gules, a bend between six crosses-crosslet, or; which are still preserved on some encaustic tiles in 'Cleve Abbey' - where he and his father were benefactors - to which, later heraldic authorities add a crest. The insignia & colors displayed by father & son were practically identical. This Coat of Arms, as well as the many other Coats of Arms of the Furneaux Family, can be seen in Burke's Armory and any other book which lists Coat of Arms for England. As already stated at the end of paragraph two on page 4, Sir Symon's only surviving child, and sole heiress, was his daughter, Elizabeth deFurneaux born in 1330. She married first about 1350, Sir John Blount, Knight and a Constable of the Tower by whom she had a daughter Alice about 1351. Sir John died about 1384, leaving an attractive and wealthy widow, who inherited many large estates. Dame Elizabeth's second marriage was to John FitzRoger and she thus became the patriarchal mother of the later, distinguished ROGER-FURNEAUX FAMILY of England.
The Roger-Furneaux House, as Mr. Underwood calls it, begins the first generation with John Fitz Roger, born circa 1335 in England. He was the son of Aaron Roger of London and, in 1385-6, married Elizabeth Furneaux who was born in 1330. She was the daughter and heiress of Sir Symon de Furneaux as mentioned above. John Fitz Roger was her second husband and is our direct ancestor. The only child of this marriage was named John and he was born when his mother was 56 years old if we assume the dates Mr. Underwood gives are true dates. NOTE: Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any other birth date for Dame Elizabeth. This, hopefully, is information that could be available in a Public Records Office in Dorset or Somerset where the Furneaux family was so prominent. However, I have not found correspondence helpful for information needed in the 13th, 14th, 15th or 16th Centuries and have not been back to England since I first learned of the history of the Rogers family so that I might try other sources available to researchers who come in person to look up information. John Underwood did write another book "Rogers Family of England" which might have a better date for the birth of John Rogers, or his mother, but I have not been able to find a copy of it in any of the genealogical libraries in New England or at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
Sir John Fitz Roger, the second generation, was born 1386-7. He married Agnes de Mercaunt of Seamer, Suffolk Co. in 1406 when he was just past the age of 19. He was the manager of the vast Furneaux estates and bought 'Benham-Valence' and other properties in Berkshire and Dorset. He received a Knighthood through recognition of military service performed. He was one of the wealthiest people in his section of England. He and Agnes had two sons, John and Thomas. He died 4 October 1441 at his home at Bryanstone. He is buried at St. Martin's Church there. His will was dated 21 September and proved 10 November 1441 and it was at this time the 'Fitz' to the Roger name was dropped and ultimately a terminal 's' added.
Thomas Rogers, second son in the third generation of the Rogers family, was born in 1408 at Ashington, Somerset in one of the Roger-Furneaux mansions. He resided here till he was grown, then permanently settled at Bryanston, Dorset. He had a son, Thomas, by his first wife who was born in 1435. In his second marriage he had a daughter, Elizabeth. Thomas Rogers (4th generation) never claimed the property of his father so it went to his sister. Thomas chose instead to practice law. He went to Oxford University and ultimately settled in Bradford in Wiltshire. He became an honorable and distinguished lawyer. In 1478, when he was 43 years old, under appointment by the Crown he was created "Serviens ad Legem," a life office bestowed because of professional attainments and worth of character. He was a great influence in his community and amassed a considerable fortune. He was appointed Sergeant-at-Law, a little before his first marriage. A son William was born of this marriage. After the death of his first wife, he married Catherine de Courtenay in 1483. She was the daughter of Sir Philip de Courtney, Knight of Powderham Castle in Devon. She and Thomas had two sons, George, the elder and John. Catherine or Katherine (as it was more frequently spelled) was the second daughter and youngest child of Sir Philip, who was born in 1404 and died in 1463. Her mother was Elizabeth Hungerford, daughter of Lord Walter Hungerford and Catherine Peverell. It is through the de Courtenay line we are related to the Plantagenets. I will digress at this point to show how the de Courtenay line goes back to the royal family - Plantagenet. Sir Philip, as mentioned above, was the father of Katherine. Sir John de Courtenay born circa 1384, and Joan Champerowne, born circa 1386, were the parents of Sir Philip. Sir John's father was also named Philip. He was born circa 1341 and married Anne Wake born in 1342. Lord Hugh de Courtenay, born in 1303, was the father of this last Sir Philip. Lord Hugh married Lady Margaret de Bohun whose mother was the Princess Elizabeth Plantagenet. The House of Courtenay was considered one of the most illustrious families among the English nobility. When George Rogers, son of Katherine de Courtenay and Thomas Rogers, was 30 years old, his mother died. William, the eldest son of Thomas Rogers by his first wife, was heir to the Rogers estate. His second son, George, Katherine's eldest child was her personal heir and received the property which came to his mother from the Courtenay estates. His third child, John, was educated and got material assistance from the Courtenays, but genealogically he was the recipient of the greatest heirloom his mother could have bestowed upon him, viz.: her personal arms, the Courtenay escutcheon, engraved on her own silver drinking cup - such a bequeathal in that era would be given only to one of her own blood, and thereby clinches the blood-line Courtenay descent of her youngest son as surely as that of her eldest, the entailed heir. Katherine de Courtenay was immensely rich with a most elaborate pedigree, running through the Royalty of three nations.
To return to the Rogers family, we are now at the fifth generation. John Rogers, of 'Deritend' the second son of Katherine de Courtenay and her husband Thomas Rogers was born at Bradford On Avon in Wiltshire. He had received a good education and had financial backing from his mother's family that enabled him to 'live the good life'! Due to the fact he was the son of a distinguished father, he was well received wherever he went even though he had not inherited land or houses. John had cousins in Kent that he went to visit. (Visits in those days could have been for months at a time) It was here that he met Margaret Wyatt, daughter of Sir Henry Wyatt of Abington Castle - near Maidstone. They were married in 1505-6. Her father was very prominent in the Courts of King Henry VII and King Henry VIII. She was half sister to Sir Thomas Wyatt - poet and statesman and aunt of Sir Thomas Wyatt who led the uprising against the marriage of Queen Mary to Philip of Spain and paid the penalty with his head.
John and Margaret settled at 'Deritend', in the parish of Aston near Birmingham in Warwickshire County, He was frequently called "John Rogers of Birmingham". They had five children, three sons and two daughters. The eldest son and heir was also named John. Rev. John Rogers was a sixth generation Rogers who chose to become a clergyman. He was born circa 1500 in the parish of Aston, near Birmingham at the family home 'Deritend'. He was educated at Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, where he graduated with a B.A. in 1526. He was then chosen to the Cardinal's College at Oxford and soon thereafter went into holy orders in the Roman Catholic Church. On 26 December 1532, he became Rector of the Church of Holy Trinity in the city of London and served two years. He resigned in 1534 and went to Antwerp as chaplain to the English merchants. Here he met William Tyndale, under whose influence he abandoned the Roman Catholic faith and, in 1536, married Adriana Pratt alias 'de Weedy' (a surname which means 'meadow', in Latin "Prata," but anglicized into Pratt). They had eleven children - 8 sons and 3 daughters. Susan, John and Daniel were born in Brabant; the next seven children (including our ancestor Bernard Rogers who was son number five) were born at Wittenberg in Saxony, and the three youngest born in England. "After Tyndale's death Rogers pushed on with his predecessor's English version of the Old Testament, which he used as far as 2nd Chronicles, employing Coverdale's translation (1535) for the remainder and for the Apocrphya. (Early Christian writings not included in the New Testament) Tyndale's New Testament had been published in 1526. The complete Bible was put out under the pseudonym of Thomas Matthew in 1537; it was printed in Antwerp. This edition was sometimes called the "Matthew Bible". The Antwerp publishers got permission to sell 1500 copies in England. His work was largely used by those who prepared the Great Bible (1539-40), out of which in turn came the Bishop's Bible (1568) and the Authorized Version of 1611 (King James Version). After taking charge of a Protestant congregation in Wittenberg for some years, Rogers returned to England in 1548. In 1550, he became Rector of St. Margaret Moyses and, in the following year he was made Vicar of St. Sepulchre in London. In 1551 he was made a prebendary (a canon or clergyman who is entitled to a stipend [prebend] for special services at a cathedral or collegiate church) In April, 1552, his family were naturalized under a special act of Parliament. He continued his church work until the accession of Queen Mary to the throne, when on Sunday after her triumphal entry into London 16 July, 1553, he preached a sermon at St. Paul's Cross commending the "true doctrine taught in King Edward's days,," and warning his hearers against "pestilent Popery," he was summoned before the council and commanded to remain at home. He never preached again. In January 1554 Bonner, the new bishop of London, sent him to Newgate Prison where he remained for about a year. On 22 January 1554/5 Rogers and other Protestant preachers were brought before the Privy Council and examined. Cardinal Pole, on 28 January 1554/5, ordered a commission to proceed against persons liable to prosecution under the statutes against heresy, and six days later through sanction of the Council, Rogers was condemned and sentenced as an excommunicated heretic, to be burned to death at the stake at Smithfield. This sentence was carried out the morning of Monday 4 February 1554/5 (Julian calendar). He was not even allowed to see his wife and children before he died. He had been offered a pardon if he would renounce Protestantism, but with holy scorn he utterly refused it. He was the first Protestant martyr of Mary's reign, and his friend Bradford wrote that "he broke the ice valiantly."
Underwood's last paragraph on pp. 25-6 of his book on The Rogers Family states: "He (John Rogers) was born of parents whose descent reached back into the best blood of England, nearly all adherents to the Church of Rome; yet displaying true bravery of soul, he dared to throw off the Roman cloak and assert the freedom of conscience-thought in a belief of independent formation and government of the Church representing the Christian religion. He was a saintly type of man, whose burning was a stain on Queen Mary and the Roman Catholic Church, that never can be effaced."
In Generation 7, our ancestor was Bernard Rogers, born in 1543 at Wittenberg, Saxony. He was the fifth son of John the Martyr. He received some of his education in Germany and then returned to England when he was an adult. Not much is known about Bernard other than the fact he moved to northern England and then Scotland where he married. Nothing is known about his wife but we know he had at least one son - Thomas Matthew - who was probably named after his grandfather's use of the pseudonym when he published his English version of the Bible. He could, of course, also have been named for Matthew Furneaux, one of his ancestors.
Thomas Matthew Rogers, Generation 8, was born about 1565 in either northern England or Scotland. In 1586 he married a woman whose surname was either McMurdo or McMurdock. They had many children. Nothing else is known about this generation. Thomas Rogers, the eldest of Thomas Matthew Rogers and the 9th generation member of the Rogers family, was born circa 1586/7. He was married in England about 1606 probably in Wiltshire. It is thought he had moved from his birthplace to Dorset or Wiltshire where many of his relatives lived. With, or without their financial help, he went into business. He was said to have been a very successful businessman. He was known in London as a Camelot merchant. We know his first, and possibly only, marriage was to a woman named Grace but I cannot account for the fact that, in Holland, his wife was called Elsgen. At any rate, Thomas and Grace had five sons and, possibly, two daughters. The boys, we know, were all born in England before Thomas went to Leyden (Leiden), Holland in 1618 and became a citizen there. He was sponsored by two members of the Pilgrim community who had come from Worksop, Notts., and Sandwich, Kent in England. In April 1620, he sold his Leyden home in preparation for the trip across the Atlantic with the other Pilgrims. According to a 1622 Poll Tax in Leyden the Rogers family still in Leyden consisted of a widow Elsgen (Thomas had died in the first winter the Pilgrims were in Plymouth Colony and is buried on Coles Hill, Plymouth, MA), son John and daughters Lysbeth and Grietgen (or Elizabeth and Margaret). It is possible Elsgen was a second wife whom Thomas had married in Leyden after he arrived there in 1618 since the two daughters were considered infants at the time of the Poll Tax. It is also possible that Thomas actually had come to Leyden earlier than 1618. His youngest son, James was born in England in 1615 but only John went to Leyden with his father. Thomas, William and James were still quite young during these years so I can't help but wonder where they might have been at this time. Joseph, the eldest, would have been about 14 when he came on the Mayflower with his father but there is no evidence he had been in Leyden so he could have joined up with his father in England where he had been living with his younger brothers and his mother. Apparently, the Mayflower Society recognizes only Joseph and John as children of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. Since John is our ancestor, I shall leave this whole puzzle of Thomas Rogers and his possible wives and children to some future generation that might like to try and solve it.
John Rogers, our ancestor and son of Thomas was born in England in 1611. He did not come with his father and brother, Joseph to Plymouth Colony in 1620. He came to Plymouth in 1631 with the last of the Leyden contingent. We know he was in Plymouth Colony on 25 March 1633 when he was taxed 9 shillings. The proof of his identity lies in a grant made 6 April 1640 to "Joseph Rogers and John Rogers his brother...fifty acres apiece of upland...at the North River." On the 16th of April 1639 he had married Ann Churchman, daughter of Hugh Churchman. They settled in Duxbury and in 1657 John represented the Township of Duxbury in the Massachusetts Legislature. In 1666 he was elected Constable for Duxbury. He and Ann had four children: John, Abigail, (our ancestor), Anna, and Elizabeth. According to the book "Descendants of Thomas Rogers" there were a number of land transactions in which John was involved between 1662 and 1685. As one of the "ancient freemen" he was given land in 1662 on the northerly side of Taunton. In 1664 he sold half his meadow northwest of "Joanes River," with the consent of wife Ann. This is the only time she is called by name except at their marriage. Several other land transactions took place over the years. He died 11 February 1692 and his will was probated 20 Sept. 1692.
Abigail Rogers, second child of John Rogers was born in 1642 in Duxbury. The exact date and month are unknown. She was the second wife of John Richmond (our ancestor) of Taunton. They were married in 1663. The story of the Richmond Family, which begins in 1066, is in the chapter titled "Richmond Family".
