Next to our little place, is a wood. A Southern wood with leaves and mulch covering the ground and a path leading to a little lake. This is exciting because little surprise lakes and leaves don't exist in Idaho, just loads of pine needles. We put on our woodsmen garb and made an afternoon of it enjoying the scenery {and 74 degree weather}.

Blog Posts on Music
Got a minute? 1000-year-long piece plays on worldwide
The BBC reports today about a performance of an excerpt of a piece of music today. Usually, this is not newsworthy. I, for example, performed an excerpt of Bruckner's 7th Symphony this morning in the shower, and nobody even bothered to show up (my cat even ran away). But this excerpt performance the BBC tells us about is a little different.
The best 100 classical recordings...again...
I heard a little feature by Frank DeFord on Morning Edition today that announced the beginning of sports' Ratings Season. He's referring to college football and basketball's infatuation with weekly rankings, and how they really don't bear a whole lot of importance. Right on cue, this list appeard from London's Telegraph ranking the 100 Best Classical Recordings.
A new way to wake up on Saturdays!
For many months now, Saturday mornings on WXXI have had a dearth of live, local hosts. We've got some great programs, don't get me wrong, but something's been missing. A lot of you mentioned this, so we here at the station got to thinking. The answer arrives this weekend from 7 in the morning until 8, with the premiere of a brand-new program called Cadenza! I'm very excited and honored to share that I'll be the host of the new program--live of course, and I wanted to let you know what to expect, and to invite you to participate in the show's development.

History of the Chi Omega Christmas Market
The first Chi Omega Christmas Market was held in November 1978. Dallas Chi Omega Alumnae spent 2 years planning to get the first show off the ground. It was held in the Ballroom of the Dallas Convention Center where there were 49 booths and 14 double booths. One of the original Market Chairmen said, "Getting merchants for the first year was so hard! It took a real team of girls to sell them on the idea." The Market now has an extensive application process and a long merchant waiting list, so we are able to bring you over 175 of the best merchants around! One of our long time merchants recently wrote, "From a seasoned retailer's point of view, Chi Omega Christmas Market is THE premier holiday market in North Texas."
That first year was a tremendous success raising $35,000 for the Dallas community. The event has grown so much over its history that we now consistently raise over $250,000 year after year for worthy Dallas organizations. Please check out the Beneficiary Tab for insight into how the Dallas community has benefited from the Chi Omega Christmas Market.

Hi, my name is Langley. I am a boy with black and white spots, and I am just a puppy. I'm just 5 months old and I weigh 32 pounds. My mom was a lab mix and my dad was a field setter - I'm told I got the best of both sides in looks and in personality!
I love to cuddle and get belly rubs. My foster mom has me working hard on a few things to help me be successful as I grow up. I'm doing really well with walking nicely on a leash and going potty outside. Since I am young, I am still working on paying attention (there's so much to explore!) and learning what is appropriate to mouth or chew. My foster mom says these are all normal puppy phases, and I am doing okay with them.
I like to play with other dogs and get along well with the dogs in my foster home. I am outgoing and I love to be with people. My foster mom says I have a lot of potential, and that taking a puppy class would be good for me and enhance the manners I am learning now. I can't wait to share puppy kisses and cuddles with a family of my very own.
Tracy & Allan Fogwill hope that cute little Langley will soon be cuddling and getting belly rubs from a loving forever family.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 27, 2014 Painful budget reductions will reduce the future capabilities of combatant commanders, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III told Congress here yesterday.
Testifying alongside Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James at a hearing of the House Appropriations Committee's defense subcommittee, Welsh discussed the difficult decisions budget constraints have presented and will continue to present to the Air Force's role in defending national security.
"Every major decision reflected in this budget proposal hurts," he said. "Each of them reduces the capabilities our combatant commanders would love to have and believe they need. Your Air Force is the finest in the world, and we need to keep it that way. We built this budget to ensure that Air Force combat power remains unequaled, but that does not mean it will remain unaffected."
There are no more easy cuts, the general said.
"We simply can't ignore the fact that the law is currently written [to return] us to sequestered funding levels in [fiscal year 2016]," Welsh said. "So that's also considered as part of our plan. To prepare for that, we must cut people and force structure now to create a balanced Air Force that we can afford to train and operate in [fiscal 2016] and beyond."
Because the Air Force needed to cut billions rather than millions of dollars out of its budget, "the normal trimming around the edges just wasn't going to get it done," Welsh said.
"So we looked at cutting fleets of aircraft as a way to get to the significant savings that are required," he added.
Welsh explained the logic of the "very tough decisions" that had to be made.
"In our air superiority mission area, we already have reductions in our proposal," he said. "But eliminating an entire fleet would leave us unable to provide air superiority for an entire theater of operations. We are the only service that can do so."
Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance constitute the No. 1 shortfall of the combatant commanders year after year, Welsh noted. "They would never support even more cuts than we already have in our budget proposal," he said.
Noting the Air Force has "several aircraft" in the global mobility mission area, Welsh said he spoke with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno during budget planning to get his thoughts on reducing the airlift fleet.
"His view was that a smaller Army would need to be more responsive and able to move quicker," Welsh said. "He did not think that reducing airlift assets further was a good idea, and the [Air Force] secretary and I agree. We looked at our air refueling fleets and considered divesting the KC-10 as an option. Just one example, but the analysis showed us that the mission impact was too significant."
Welsh echoed testimony from James, who told the panel that a return to sequester funding levels in fiscal 2016 would put the mobility fleet back on the table.
"We looked at the KC-135 fleet, but we would have to cut many more KC-135s than KC-10s to achieve the same savings," he said. "And with that many KC-135s out of the fleet, we simply can't meet our worldwide mission requirement."
In the strike mission area, Welsh said, cutting the A-10 fleet would save $3.7 billion across the future-year defense program and another $500 million in cost avoidance for upgrades that wouldn't be necessary. "To get that same savings would require a much higher number of F-15E's or F-16s [to be cut], but we also looked at those options," he added.
Air Force officials ran a detailed operational analysis, Welsh said, comparing divestiture of the A-10 fleet to divestiture of the B-1 fleet, reduction of the F-16 and F-15E fleet, and to deferring procurement of a large number of F-35s, as well as to decreasing readiness by standing down a number of fighter squadrons and just parking them on the ramp.
"We used the standard DOD planning scenarios," Welsh said. "The results very clearly showed that cutting the A-10 fleet was the lowest-risk option, from an operational perspective, of a bunch of bad options. While no one is happy, from a military perspective, it's the right decision, and it's representative of the extremely difficult choices that we're facing in the budget today."
The U.S. military must modernize, Welsh said, but today's declining budgets place limits on modernization.
"And we must maintain the proper balance across all our mission areas," he added, "because that's what the combatant commanders expect from us."

Maybe I am a bit of a Diego homer, but I think he is way better than Leonard Garcia.
They got Sanchez as 10 on fight matrix and Garcia as number 100. Before Leonard's last two wins in Legacy he lost five straight. Diego is 3 for 5 in his last bouts (I know all about the Kampman bout, b/c I had Martin winning as well), but they have been against studs.
Yes he has been in wars, and yes he let his chin hang, but he did have competitive rounds in all of those fights.
Edit: I would not put him at ten, but somebody did.

Clearly, 2014 didn't start off any better than 2013 ended for one artist.
Just about every pop star on the market has a little thug in them - see: Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake for reference. They provide just enough 'urban' and 'white boy swag' for their multicultural fan base to swoon over without stepping on any toes. However, one bad boy on the rise has taken the crown from his predecessors. The now 19-year-old, Justin Bieber (think: former blonde hair sweep turned soft, high-top with spritz) has entered in the world of all things gangster.
If you were under a media rock tweet-debating about Bey and Jay's "Drunk In Love" performance during the Grammy's or the Seahawk's slash Bronco's blowout at the Super Bowl, you may have missed the "Confident" crooner's latest antics, which have gone super viral.
Have no fear, Mommynoire's Mommy Mashup got the deets on Bieber's latest troubles, which includes boob biting (owww!!!) and all types of weirdo teen buffoonery. Take a peek at Bieber's latest photo book of bad boy-ness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evangeline by Longfellow,
Dr. Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca ... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews
Evangeline is Longfellow's masterpiece. The poem begins with
the famous "forest primeval" . The reader is taken to the home
of the Acadian farmers and the famous village reminescent
of a variety of tradespeople. The work describes whole
communities dispersed and separated from the homeland in the
mid-1700s. Evangeline and Gabriel flee home and experience
the pain of separation despite the fact that Gabriel seems to
keep a step ahead during a major part of the story. The work
attests to the beauty and strength of a woman's devotion.
In many ways, our fate and destiny tend to be random events which are out of our immediate control. This work traces the
fate of important characters living in a state of uncontrolled
flux and uncertainty . Readers of the poem will discover
how the story unfolds and the difficult choices presented
at various stages of Longfellow's journey. The work is
written utilizing an advanced vocabulary typical of the
writers during this period .

4.0 out of 5 stars A Heart That's True, There Are Such Things,
William Brennan "Wildbill944" (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
After more than half a century, I remembered still the sonorous rhythms of the prelude to Evangeline. Much has changed since I first read the tale of Arcadian innocence torn apart on order of the heartless King, and Longfellow and his poetry have fallen on hard times and harder hearts in the interim
His allusions and images are strained; his words pathetically romantic and sentimental; and the story of Evangeline barely tracks the actual events of 1755. All of the charges are true, yet much of value remains in the poem. The poet recognized instantly a crime against humanity when he first heard the tale, and he had the talent, drive, and fortitude to create this vehicle to memorialize the sad story of star crossed lovers, families, and communities divided and exiled from their adored homeland.
That a heart could be committed to a lifetime of wandering in search of a lost love seems archaic to the sophisticates of the twenty-first century, but I believe it possible, even today.
I read the poem - aloud and silently - and the beat of the accents, like operatic arias, added to the the sorrow of the sentimental story. I recommend this poem to parents who love to read aloud to their children. I'm sure that Evangeline and her beloved Gabriel have the power still to stir the hearts of the young - and of the readers, too.
A very useful notes section offsets an overly wordy foreword. I found it easy to find and reference words and phrases no longer in common use.
Read it aloud to your early adolescent sons and daughters and to your love. You'll be happy you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical love poem,
"topaze15" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
I am not going to sit here and claim to be the expert on English language poetic literature my 12th grade English teacher would like me to be. I have often fallen prey to the boredom of reading long poems and look upon poetry generally with some weariness.
When my father went to New Orleans, I asked him to bring me something back. He brought back a copy of this poem. It was required reading for my parents growing up - I had never heard of it.
I confess I was probably hesitant when I sat down to read it. But in no time I was hooked. The poetic language is perfectly styled to slowly tell the tale of two Acadian lovers doomed by the path of Acadian history to separate lives. Reading this poem is like suckling slowly on a sweet nectar under the gently rustling leaves of an oak on the side of a gently flowing river. If this sounds appealing to you, then you will enjoy this poem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended,
By A Customer
I heard about this book from my mom a few weeks ago after I went to see the movie Serendipity. I told her about the plot of the two people in love searching for one another and just missing every time. She said it reminded her of another story, Evangeline. Since i attend an engineering school I am always very eager to read books with real meaning behind them, given that all my textbooks focus on is wastewater treatment, biological processes, etc... So given that I wasn't really expecting too much but a relief from textbooks when I picked up this book. Little did I know it was soon to become one of my favorites. I was pleasantly surprised by the Christian influences behind the poem and found myself crying a lot more than I expected. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a great appreciation for well written, romantic poetry and literature.

When people look at a successful company there is perhaps an unspoken assumption that whatever they do is loved by all. Like the golden touch of King Midas, everything that they touch turns to gold. When you look at products such as the iPhone, many people probably think that it is beyond criticism given its widespread acceptance and use. For example, in the second quarter of 2011 Apple sold over 18 million iPhones! Yet, when the phone was first released it was greatly criticized. It was criticized because it was $500, then the most expensive phone in the world. Microsoft's CEO panned it because it did not have a keyboard. Yet by the end of 2010 Apple sold ninety million phones and collected half of the total profits generated by the world's cell phone market (474).
A similar pattern marked the release of the iPad. Jobs recounts the initial negative reception:
"I got about eight hundred email messages in the last twenty-four hours. Most of them are complaining. There's no USB cord! There's no this, no that. Some of them are like, '[expletive], how can you do that?' I don't usually write people back, but I replied, 'Your parents would be so proud of how you turned out.' And some don't like the iPad name, and on and on. I kind of got depressed today. It knocks you back a bit" (495).
In spite of the criticism, Apple sold three million iPads in the first 80 days, and as of June, 2011, they have sold approximately twenty-five million. What accounts for the apparent initial failure of these products, given the volume of criticism, but then the subsequent success? The answer lies in the fact that Jobs never gave people the device they wanted.
Jobs was notorious for never using market research. He famously told his employees, the consumer does not know what he wants until I show him what he wants. Jobs' biographer quotes him as saying:
"Some people say, 'Give the customers what they want.' But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, 'If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'' People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page" (567).
There is a lesson for the church here in Jobs' marketing and product design principle.
Far too often the church goes about trying to meet perceived needs. Churches even go as far as to do market and demographic research to determine what people want. They then tailor the ministries of a church to meet these perceived needs. But how many people will tell you, "I need someone to preach to me the condemnation of the law"? The church does not need to do market research. And because of sinful humanity's fallen state, they will always be ready to tell the church what they need. The problem is, however, that they will never tell you they need the law's condemnation and the redemptive power of the gospel. The church, therefore, must never give the world what it wants. Rather, the church must preach the gospel because it is what they truly need.
Make no mistake about it, when you preach the gospel, you will find rejection, criticism, and derision. As Christ has told us, we will be persecuted on account of his name (Matt. 5:11). However, the church's success has been promised and guaranteed. People will hear the message of the gospel and by God's grace they will repent and believe. At the same time, people will hear the gospel, reject it, and they will be condemned. Unlike a company's product, even a successful one, there are always millions of people who do not purchase it, but the preaching of the gospel is always successful: "For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?" (2 Cor. 2:15-16).
Hence, the church's strategy should never be altered, even in the face of severe criticism—we preach the gospel of Christ. We never give people what they want. Instead, we give them what they need.

POINT PLEASANT — Teresa Mills focuses on helping smokers change long-established habits, and understand the reasons they want to smoke, so they can kick the addiction permanently.
"People tend to want a quick fix," Mills said, "But what we do is give people practical methods for breaking longterm habits; we look at the psychological of addiction, and give provide resources for success in quitting."
Mills, the regional tobacco prevention coordinator for the Cabell-Huntington Health Department, travels in six counties and teaches smoking cessation classes at Mason County Health Department. She is also a part of initiatives to promote and maintain clean indoor air, and works with high school and college students. She assisted with implementing the new tobacco-free policy at Marshall University.
"There's now a campus-wide tobacco ban," said Mills, who has also collaborated with Pleasant Valley Hospital on its tobacco-free policy.
Locally, smoking-cessation classes are available regularly through the health department. They run for three hours per session, in which smokers are encouraged to examine the harm smoking does to a body.
"We also look at the ingredients in cigarettes," Mills noted, adding that the classes emphasize the importance of maintaining an all-around healthy lifestyle. Mills does not provide medications or nicotine alternatives.
Mills, who has been in her current position for 10 years now, said she tries to design each class according the needs of the local populations.
"I try to tailor-make the program for the relevant people." Mills said that the classes and ongoing programs provide necessary support and structure. "People always have good intentions, but when it comes time to set a quit date, it's scary."
Mills said that the West Virigina Quitline, too, is an excellent resource for people who'd like to quit. Quitline is a free service available to qualified smokers. Those who qualify include military and immediate family, pregnant smokers, adults 55 and over or between the ages of 18 and 24, college students, faculty and staff, and the uninsured. Those enrolled in the program can expect to receive four free, confidential phone calls from a stop-smoking coach. Nicotine Replacement Therapy is also available through Quitline.
For more information on the smoking cessation classes and other programs, Teresa Mills may be reached at (304) 633-4555. The West Virginia Quitline number is (800) Quit-Now.

UPPER AUGUSTA TOWNSHIP — A teenage girl is dead after a crash in Nothumberland County.
Marcelle Barber, 18, recently graduated from Mount Carmel Area High School.
Some of her friends are in disbelief over what happened.
Skid marks cover part of Snydertown Road, near Sunbury where Barber was driving when state police say she lost control of her car and crashed before 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Police say Barber was not wearing a seatbelt and died at the scene.
Three of her friends were hurt.
"Just driving around and you know, an accident happened. It's just a shame to hear about it. These things just shouldn't happen to people like that," said Raymond Wywadis of Mount Carmel.
Wywadis was friends with Marcelle Barber. They even went to the prom together. He says he is in disbelief over what happened and can't believe she's gone.
"At first I just didn't want to believe it. When reality set in and I saw it on the news, it just hit hard."
Marcelle Barber was a 2013 graduate of Mount Carmel Area High School. Her classmates remember her as a nice girl who always had a smile on her face.
"Brighten your day type of girl. She just always had a smile on her face and a giddy attitude. One of the nicest girls you'll ever meet," said Kaleb Roney.
"She just was one of the best people you could ever meet. She would walk into a room and just brighten anybody's day. She had a smile that was just beyond belief," said Wywadis.
The three passengers in Barber's car were taken to area hospitals. Another 18 year old is listed in serious condition.

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to The Fresh Market's Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we'll conduct the question-and-answer session and instructions will be given at that time.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Sean Crane.
Sean Crane - EVP, COO and Interim CFO: Thank you, operator. I'd like to welcome everyone to The Fresh Market's fourth quarter 2012 earnings call. I'm Sean Crane, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of The Fresh Market. I'm joined on today's call by The Fresh Market's President and Chief Executive Officer, Craig Carlock; and Jeff Short, our Vice President and Corporate Controller.
Before we begin the discussion of our business results, I need to remind you that any forward-looking statements we may make today are subject to our Safe Harbor statements found in our press release and SEC filings. Our fourth quarter earnings release and related financial information, including any non-GAAP or adjusted financial reconciliation tables are available on our corporate website under the Investor Relations section.
After our prepared comments, we will have time to answer questions. Please note that a replay of this call and the Q&A session will be available for 30 days on our website at www.thefreshmarket.com.
With that, let me turn the call over to Craig.
Craig Carlock - President and CEO: Thank you, Sean and good morning, everyone. You likely had a chance to review our press release issued this morning. With our remarks today we would like to recap our fourth quarter performance and provide color on the changing consumer activity we saw this holiday season. We will comment on our full-year fiscal 2012 results and share our outlook for fiscal year 2013.
Let's start with Q4. This morning, we reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.43 driven by consolidated sales growth of 15.3% and comp store sales of 1.9%. While our full year comp store sales finished within our plan and guidance range and while we were pleased with our execution during the holiday season, we were disappointed to see our comp store sales growth rate slow this quarter. Similar to other retailers, we saw a pronounced change in consumer behavior this quarter, which caused comparable store sales to come in below trend and contributed to softness in EPS.
To understand better what happened during the winter selling season, we conducted extensive analysis and looked at a broad cross-section of sales data. While we found little evidence of issues with our merchandising or execution during the quarter, we saw relative weakness in comparable sales that was consistent across geographies, categories and store vintage.
We tried to perform our analysis as objectively as possible and we recognize there are always things we can do better. However, our products, prices and promotions were relatively in line with our competition and on par with prior holiday seasons.
The fourth quarter was also our toughest year-over-year comparison for comp sales as we cycled the 7% increase from last year's fourth quarter. During our third quarter call, we communicated that this will present a headwind for us and we were also mindful that the strong momentum that we enjoyed early in the year could be challenged by macroeconomic and political uncertainties.

Mary Beaton Jenkins
born Glasgow, Scotland. Jesse Rupert is s/o
J Vernon Rupert
born Columbiana Co, Ohio and Mary Paden.
Only paternal roots in America, I follow a path to Fairfax Co Virginia (grandmother's name Pritchartt).
Some interesting facts discovered about my family:
Henderson, Nevada named after my group.
The Hendersons still operate the oldest family owned Drug Store in America to date called "Henderson's Drug Store" founded 1841 by

in Glasgow, Howard Co Missouri. The oldest Henderson in my group, lived to be 104,
Dr. Joseph Lewis Henderson
as did his sister.
I have no biological connection to Ohio and
will transfer any memorial in Columbiana/Mahoning Co Ohio to persons with interest.
I check and work on this daily, update edits and will respond to email/corrections, etc promptly. Please note as I have posted many memorials from the cemetery index volumes, Audrey Allison has brought them to life by walking the cemeteries, photographing and posting headstones to thousands of the memorials. It is a joint effort by many.
Please do not ask for a transfer then "disappear from the face of earth"!
To all who so righteously remind us the primary purpose of Find a Grave is "GRAVE REGISTRATION", and then "boringly" recite in your bio the FAG rules... yes we get it! To the group I work with, (look at my friend's list) it is a mere "starting point" as we all work together, share, and seek to know more about the folks, what they looked like and where they lived as we "register their graves". All of us will go to great lengths to find out more!. .. to sum this up they are "NOT JUST A NAME ON THE A STONE"!
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2014 YEAR - Two new stones shine from the "Pritchartt" plot in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St Louis Mo for the first time...
May 20, 2014
Placed a military marker on an unmarked grave... After a long search for military records for a great uncle who was a Conf Soldier, and alas, finally secured them and accepted for a military headstone placed on his grave after 114 years beneath an unmarked grave!! He was
Pvt John Norvell Caskie
. Thanks to Angela Smythe who had an interest in the Caskie family and provided a copy of military record that made this all possible.
Aug 18, 2014 - Stone placed on great grandmother
Maria L Bingham Pritchartt's
grave who died in 1859 from anemia. Stone is now set in plot St Louis Mo. She has rested for 155 years in an unmarked grave, but that will be no more. I guess that is why I was chosen to do what I do. Amen
I will sponsor ANYONE's memorial just to have additional photos uploaded. (It is well worth the $5.00 Find a Grave charge) Focus as of 11/9/2014 will be to review current memorials created, complete data as to birth, date, place, etc and to link/find parents, siblings or family. Just as in life, every memorial should be linked to family. And "friends" keep those edits coming my way as it helps so much identify all the folks at rest. 7/20/2015 currentlyworking on editing and updating families and relationships in
Fairfax City Cemetery
in Fairfax Va, and the surrounding area.

Harriett Taylor Davis memorial
First let me congratulate you on your recent progress and successes in the form of the new stones for your ancestors!
I thank you so much for your time and dedication to finding your own family and helping others to find theirs.
That said, thank you so much for your additions/corrections to Harriett Taylor Davis's memorial. I am glad that others are beginning to agree that Harriett and Mary King Davis are daughters of Priscilla Davis (nee King most likely) and Richard Windsor Davis, not Priscilla King Calvert. Do you have the sources that I used to prove this? I can give you the chancery case numbers if you wish. I'll just have to look them up. I found a chancery cause about Richard Windsor Davis as well that states he left the state, I only wish it said where he went. If you want any of this let me know.
Thank you again,
Kathy Davis-Page

Rock Hill Methodist, AKA Rockhill Meeting House
Hi Anne,
I've just posted some gravestone and cemetery pictures for Rockhill Methodist, also known as Rockhill Meeting House.
I might have to go back to try again on one or two I didn't post after I improve my abilities with off-camera flash for hard-to-read gravestones.
I posted an additional pic of the Edward Sterne stone, not because there was anything wrong with the one Mary took in 2005, but to show it's the same location but with the fence installed since your visit. Perhaps you might like to move her picture back up to the top?
Regarding the deed to the Rockhill church you posted, I don't think it pertains to the Rockhill Meeting House because it was already there by about 1800. As we understand that it was from its congregation that some members departed at some time in order to form Rockhill Baptist (leaving the Methodists behind), I think the reference could perhaps pertain to that new church. However the existing Rockhill Baptist Church hardly looks to me like a late 1800's structure -- I would have guessed more like 1950's. It was about 1955 when the Methodists merged with Ebenezer Methodist Church, and I suppose about then that the building fell into disuse.

RE: Walnut Hill Cemetery
Oh, I recognize that location. That's the farm which always had the white cows 10 years ago, next door to the farm on Mountain View Road which always had the black cows. Didn't know it was called Walnut Hill, nor that it had a family cemetery, but in Virginia that shouldn't be a surprise. It's 98 acres, with a very long private driveway, and owned by one of the Tolson families.

I'll try to get a photo from the road, as I do recall being able to see a row of gravestones opposite the front door on the north side. And maybe at some point I'll go knock on the door and ask permission to look at all the gravestones.

RE: Edwin Lee Sterne in Rock Hill
Hi Ann, thanks so much for sending the historic notes pertaining to Rock Hill. Very interesting, and full of names to help figure out what was going on here so long ago. I also got vital clues from Mary, the photographer of one of the gravestones. I'm now clear that what I thought was misnamed Rock Hill Methodist was in fact named correctly. It's not been a church for 50 years but the building and the tiny cemetery still exist, and I was able to add the exact location to the Find A Grave cemetery page. See the history presented here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vastaffo/cemeteries/rockhillmethcem.htm . That historical article has one mistake: the old Methodist church is south of the present day Rock Hill Baptist Church, not north. But it shows it was a multi-denominational church when it started in 1800, and that some members left to form Rock Hill Baptist and later other members merged with Ebenezer Methodist elsewhere in the county. Thanks again for sharing what you found!

Anne is A True Genealogist
Anne, I found your profile via your message to and from Peggy, below this message.
You have stated what the true purpose of Find A Grave should be amongst those of us volunteers who work very hard to provide meaningful and accurate content over and above what is on the "stones".
Those that contribute photos and create memorials for everybody in the cemeteries in their vicinity also deserve credit as they become valuable "stepping stones" for the work we do. However, when these contributors start refusing to cooperate by hiding behind the rules instead of using common sense, it becomes obvious that they are "hoarders" and not "genealogists".
Thank you very much for speaking out so eloquently in your profile.

RE: Antonia Willard Ford - Fairfax Cemetery
Anne, I don't know if this will help you.
Charles Fleming Ford Jr, was son of Captain Charles Fleming Ford, who served in the War of 1812. Captain Charles Fleming Ford SR was the son of Edward Ford who married Elizabeth Keith. One of their sons was John Ford. My records show that John Ford married Lydia Fowler and later married Mary Fannie Pritchett(?)Maybe this name is misspelled.

Antonia Willard Ford - Fairfax Cemetery
Anne, I am trying to do some genealogy research and came across the Antonia Willard Ford gravestone at Fairfax Cemetery. You have a comment showing that her cousin Edward Randolph Ford born 1859 was son of Charles Franklin and Rebecca August. I am pretty sure this actually should be Charles Fleming Ford (Jr) and Rebecca Ann (Wright) Ford. Charles Fleming Ford later married Susan Ann Carroll Ford and they are both buried in the Clifton Cemetery. Lu Fischer

I'm pleased those special families will be known from the information you provide to their memorials. It was quite an experience clearing the soil away and seeing the beautiful script and learning about cholera in Lexington at that time. I know they are in good hands. I didn't have a computer or Ancestry at that time. :) Darla

EAST STROUDSBURG — In a city slammed by Sandy, there was controversy that the famed New York City Marathon would go on as scheduled.
Officials decided Friday to cancel the event.
"It's extremely difficult news to share with the city and certainly with the runners from around the world," said Mary Wittenbery, head of the New York City Road Runners, a group which organizes the marathon.
Some argued the race would be good for the city's bottom line as nearly 50,000 runners, their family and friends would fill the city's hotels, restaurants and shops.
Others said running a race through boroughs crippled by the recent storm would be in bad taste, not to mention would use up city resources needed to help in the recovery.
The race was scheduled to start in Staten Island, one of the hardest hit areas.
Newswatch 16 spoke with some runners in the Poconos.
"The resources have to be put elsewhere I mean this is just too fresh," said Neil Policelli, a marathon runner from Bangor.
Darleen Mostellar of Stroudsburg has run the New York City marathon twice before.
"I feel for both sides, I've been watching the news and reading the comments that everyone is making. As a runner, you really want to do it, you've trained for it, it's what you want to do, but I do feel for the people who have lost everything and don't want the runners coming in," said Mosteller.
Trish D'Imperio owns Ready, Set, Run in East Stroudsburg, a shop that caters to runners.
She said to the athletes, a cancelled race is a big deal.
"It's a huge deal, athletes have been training for anywhere from 16 to 24 weeks preparing for this one day," said D'Imperio.
At the end of the day, the runners we spoke with said they're just glad they don't have to make the decision to go to the marathon or not.

THE Ministry of Labour has directed that the five workers recently dismissed from SOS Children Village without pay must be given their benefits.
The decision by the Government is a big blow to the organisation which has witnessed wrangling between senior management team and new national director Bwalya Melu.
The institution dismissed three managers and two other officers without pay following differences with Mr Melu who slapped charges on them before the board sacked them.
The sacked employees, however, sought intervention of the labour commissioner after accusing management and the board of maliciously dismissing them.
Their petition was successful after the Ministry of Labour overturned the decision and directed SOS board of trustees to ensure that all the ex-workers were given their packages.
This was during a meeting last week between the board of trustees of SOS and the dismissed employees which was chaired by assistant labour commissioner Chinyanta Chikula, who is in charge of industrial relations.
Both sources at the Ministry of Labour and the affected employees confirmed to the Sunday Times in separate interviews during the week.
The dismissed employees include SOS deputy national director, Mwamba Mutale, human resource manager, Victor Lolozi and acting financial controller Clarence Mwami and Mwila Chibanda and Mary Kapansa Luleta.
Mr Mutale, Mr Mwami and Mr Lolozi will negotiate for separation packages they initially asked for while Ms Luleta and Ms Chibanda will have three months notice in terms of pay before negotiating for their packages.
The sources said the cases against the employees could not stand because it was clear that the board and management of SOS already had intentions of firing the workers before they were even charged.
The organisation has witnessed persistent problems including dismissals of employees since the appointment of Mr Melu as national director in March last year.

DAVID COURTNEY – Midsummer Madness/Shooting Star
Midsummer Madness:
…'Los Dias Del Sol' ('The Days Of The Sun') suggests exactly that: warm, sunny, with a hint of Latin America. It's also a rather short instrumental. But mainly it's short. Like sunny spells in Great Britain!
The ethereal, haunting quality of 'The Easy Way Out' turns Courtney's most famous piece into a timeless classic – beautifully performed with a moody and melancholy piano for support. Pass me the hanky please!
Closing number 'Save The Encores' is a blend of classic rock, some harder rock, a bit of jazz, a bit of this, a bit of that… Well, make up your own mind. But my oh my is it skilfully executed.
Shooting Star:
…'Goodbye Home' is a number I warm to. The song tells the story of a trip 'round the universe and unexplored galaxies, while the musical arrangement thankfully remains more grounded and isn't spoiled by an overpowering electro sound. There's a proper melody to it, actually!
Things get all cosmic and distorted again on 'Mind Radio', before taking on considerable more organic forms with 'Pure Emotion'. I mean, we're talking a proper rock song here, complete with groove and nice riff work by John Verity. Whoa, beam me up, Scotty!
Claudia A, music-news.com (Jan 2013)
…1980′s Shooting Star, fuelled by Courtney's passion for UFOlogy, is a welcome-to-the-world-of-tomorrow riot of frosty Radiophonic Orchestra synths and vocoders – impossible to hear without picturing Hazel O'Connor's Breaking Glass face. The vocal cadences of The Boys In A Dream perhaps suggest why Mike Love was sufficiently enthused by the album to ask if The Beach Boys could adopt it wholesale as their next LP: Courtney
refused. Dig those Joe Meek oscillations on the title track.
Record Collector (March 2013)
…the members of Argent (minus Rod Argent himself) operating as Courtney's highly-impressive backing band…
Kevin Bryan, Stirling Advertiser (February 2013)
It could have been much sweeter if David agreed to Mike Love's proposition to turn all of the "Star" songs into a BEACH BOYS record, yet that might ruin its own good vibrations, and now it's a memorial to the author's integrity.
DME Music Site
DAVID COURTNEY The Show Must Go On
…"The Show Must Go On" obviously refers to the ever-evolving music and the song which is now resident in Australia that Leo Sayer became so famous, but also is the perfect title for this package of fun, with sometimes moving melodies of yesteryear. Who dares say that this is corny music…
Keys & Chords
…the feeling of eclecticism prevails and pulls the whole down while the individual pieces are good. A fitting reflection of any man's life. ***1/3
DME Music Site
DAVID COURTENAY First Day – The Complete Story
Some of these works are grandiose…and if you can recall some of Leo Sayer's early singles you will understand…Some of the bonus tracks provided are, for me, more interesting than those on the original album; in particular 'Rag And Bone' and the instrumental, sweeping, majestic orchestral composition 'Broken Leaves', which comes close to justifying the CD by itself!
Classic Rock Society, (January 2010)
…while the album failed to make much of an impact on either side of the Atlantic it remains a testament to his supreme talents as both a musician and a songwriter…Some of the guest artists who appear here represent the cream of the crop of British classic rock…not to mention Pink Floyd's David Gilmour…
First Day is a top notch effort from top to bottom…
Ryan Sparks, Sea Of Tranquility (February 2010)
There is some superb playing by session players who are well known and established in their own right…

With the New York Toy Fair a week or so away and news of Skylanders related URLs being registered, anticipation is high for a big announcement from Activision.
With the approach of the New York Toy Fair (10th-13th Feb), the venue used previously by Activision to announce Skylanders: Spyros Adventure and Skylanders: Giants, anticipation is high for news of the third game in the series.
News today came in via Fusible about some Skylander domains registered by MarkMonitor, who already manage Skylanders.com, that may indicate the name of the new game. Fusible prides itself for "sleuthing out stories based on [its] research of domain acquisitions, domain sales, company trademark filings" and spilled the beans on four possible names for the next iteration of Activision's game:
"On January 30, 2013, four names were registered: SkylandersKaosAlliance.com, SkylandersNanoForce.com, SkylandersSuperForce.com and SkylandersSwapForce.com."
I put the suggestion of a Toy Fair announcement about Skylanders 3 to Paul Reiche when we spoke in London last year. Although he didn't confirm the prospect of another big Skylanders Toy Fair announcement he did raise a wry smile at the idea. "Logic would indicate that a pattern is emerging… but I can neither confirm or deny that fact."
Of the four possibles, Kaos Alliance seems most likely as it is not grouped with the others (Nano Force, Super Force and Swap Force) . Putting Skylanders' main enemy in the title would also open possibilities for granting players a chance to control him in the game. The prospect of a Kaos toy figure is certainly something that my kids would welcome.
Nano Force would also make sense, with the popularity of the miniature Skylanders Sidekicks. A game that featured tiny figures would be a fitting follow up to Giants' double height toys. It would also mean that you could fit more than two toys on the Portal, potentially opening the door to four player co-operative play.
It will be interesting to see what, if anything, materializes at the Toy Fair. It is more than likely that if there is an announcement planned some of these URLs have been registered to mask the actual name. Before the announcement of Skylanders Giants for instance, Activision were also linked to URLs named Skylanders Patriots — leading some (myself included) to incorrectly jump to conclusions about a football version of Skylanders.
Perhaps the biggest aspect of this news, and the reaction to it online, is how much attention even the smallest aspect of this franchise now gets. In just a couple of years it has grown into one of the most significant video-game series for family gamers.
Maintaining this number one position will be harder this year though, with Disney Infinity offering a similar toy-meets-video-game experience, and one that can leverage the family favorite Disney characters. Only time will tell who the winners and losers are in this competitive market.

Good map case
I agree with other reviewers...the sizes are larger than you would think. Small does the job for me. The small is durable and easy to travel with. I like to use it for mountain biking,hiking, and Geo-caching. Great product for the money. Only negative was the zip lock. It was a little difficult to get shut quickly. Other than that good map case to purchase.

March 17, 1995
The American essayist Logan Pearsall Smith wrote: "The indefatigable pursuit
of an unattainable perfection...is what alone gives a meaning to our life."
We live in an imperfect world. And we can never make it perfect. But we can
attain moments of perfection. Operation United Shield was such a moment.
On behalf of President Clinton and the Department of Defense, I want to thank
General Shalikashvili and General Peay for their outstanding military
leadership; and Walt Slocombe and his OSD Somalia Task Force, for their quick,
efficient response in a tough policy-making environment. I also want to thank
Admiral Bolognaro from the Italian Navy, a superb commander from a great and
dependable ally.
But most of all, I want to thank the men and women in uniform who carried out
this complicated and critical mission. Their indefatigable pursuit of
perfection delivered 8,000 peace-keepers from danger, and sent them safely
Somalia is a place that has suffered too many of the world's imperfections.
Before our troops landed there two years ago, the nation had been devastated by
civil war, rampant famine and disease. More than one thousand Somali people
were dying each day. In short order, American and U.N. forces helped to
relieve the famine and disease, and helped to save tens of thousands of lives.
Some paid with their own lives, the ultimate personal sacrifice.
Last month, we returned to Somalia to honor a commitment. When we asked the
nations of Bangladesh, Egypt, Pakistan and India to send peacekeeping forces,
we promised them our support, if and when it was needed. Many of these brave
soldiers suffered casualties keeping the forces of chaos at bay. When the time
came to close out military operations in Somalia, they called on America to
honor its commitment. And we responded with a truly joint task force supported
by all the U.S. Services and by the Italian Navy, and led by the U.S. Marines.
Protecting the peacekeepers was a dangerous mission. Armed militias with
high-powered weapons attempted to intimidate and coerce the task force at every
step of the way. And amphibious operations are always tricky. It is tough to
land under the cover of darkness facing a very real threat of hostile fire. It
can be even tougher to conduct a withdrawal under those conditions. You've got
to keep the beachhead secure against hostile forces until the last serviceman
has been withdrawn.
The Combined Task Force executed this mission flawlessly. With the help of
soldiers, sailors, airmen and their Italian comrades in arms, the Marines built
an island of order in a sea of disorder, and they brought out the peacekeepers
without a single coalition casualty. There is an old saying in the Marine
Corps: "The Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand." Well,
they proved it once again, thanks to the critical support of the Army, Navy and
Air Force. This is what we mean by "jointness."
What this operation accomplished goes well beyond one faraway nation in an
imperfect world. It kept America's faith with our allies, and our faith in
them. It showed that our forces are prepared to deploy with very short notice.
And it proved, once again, that America has the best-trained, most professional
and most effective forces in the world.
This mission also proved that America is grounded with outstanding military
leadership at all levels. Leaders such as Vice Admiral Redd, who provided
expert leadership and guidance for this mission from start to finish. And
General Zinni, who exemplifies the Marine motto, "Semper Fidelis." He gave his
forces and leaders in the field his supreme confidence; they gave him
perfection in return. In the process, he showed himself to be the consummate
Marine's Marine, who is always ready to back up his troops. In fact, as sunset
turned to night on Green Beach and this perfect mission came to a close, the
last Marine to hit the waves was General Zinni. Well done, General.
To all who served in United Shield, and in particular, those who we honor
today for their exceptional service, skill, courage and creativity: I say you
can be truly proud of your achievements. I can tell you, as Secretary of
Defense, I am truly proud of you.

NVIDIA @ GDC 2010: On the Show Floor
Yesterday we gave you a brief overview of the NVIDIA booth and our developer talks. Today, we were finally able to walk the floor to see what other games and technologies were being shown at GDC 2010.
One of the booths we checked out belongs to Beverly Hills based, 360VirtualVentures. They're hoping to bring a unique form of virtual reality to the masses ' the VirtuSphere. We chatted with a spokesperson for the company, who explained that, unlike virtual reality simulators in the past which have the user wear a head mounted display (HMD), the VirtuSphere adds another layer immersion by placing the user in a 10-foot hollow sphere allowing complete freedom of movement in any direction.
Next, we walked over to the Independent Games Festival where we had a chance to speak with Ichiro Lambe, founder and president of Boston, Massachusetts based Dejobaan Games. Their game, uniquely titled 'AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! ' A Reckless Disregard for Gravity' is nominated for a IGF 2010 Excellence in Design Award, and it's easy to see why. What started off as a base jumping simulator, eventually morphed into a free-falling action game where gamers jump off skyscrapers, weave around buildings, earn style points, and flip off haters. Sound like fun? It is! Best of allâ?¦ Ichiro is a huge supporter of NVIDIA and developed the game on NVIDIA hardware!

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that his office has obtained a judgment against Luige's Frozen Pizza, Inc. of Sheboygan County. The operator of a frozen pizza assembly and packaging plant in rural Belgium is the defendant in a civil complaint filed in January of 2012, alleging violations of Wisconsin's waste water and pollution discharge laws.
Specifically, Luige's is accused of failing to file reports with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that would have recorded and monitored a pond at its facility that was permitted to receive industrial waste from the manufacturing facility. The judgment, reached through litigation and subsequent agreement of the parties and approval of the court, requires Luige's to pay $17,000 in forfeitures and penalties. In addition, Luige's is ordered to complete, under the DNR's supervision, various requirements designed to determine whether there are pollutants in the pond that are seeping into the groundwater.
"Wastewater permits designed to prevent groundwater pollution are an important safeguard to insure against contamination of our valuable natural resources. Such permits must be adhered to, and violations will be enforced," Attorney General Van Hollen said.
Assistant Attorney General Cynthia R. Hirsch represents the state. The court order was signed on May 1, 2014, by Judge Edward Stengel of Sheboygan County Circuit Court.
A copy of the Stipulated Agreement and Order is available here.
