ALBANY -- The Albany Big Read project, which centered around promoting literacy by focusing on Ernest J. Gaines' 1993 novel "A Lesson Before Dying", had its closing ceremonies Monday night at the Albany Municipal Auditorium.
The project in February consisted of free events, book discussions and a movie screening of "A Lesson Before Dying" at Carmike Cinemas' Wynnsong 16.
"It (Albany Big Read) has been for me an extraordinary activity. It has taken on a life of its own," said Albany Big Read co-director James L. Hill, who is Albany State University's chair of the Department of English and modern languages and mass communications.
Ashley Moore, assistant director for the Dougherty County Public Library, said participation in the project was high among Albany and Dougherty residents.
"We found that people have built friendships through this event. It has really brought the community together," she said.
Moore said the public library had more than 100 copies of "A Lesson Before Dying" that have been checked out numerous times throughout the month.
"We saw a lot of use," she said. "People were really engaged in this project."
Moore said approximately 200 people attended the screening for "A Lesson Before Dying" at Wynnsong Cinemas and the book discussions attracted numerous visitors.
In September and October, Hill said the Big Read committee purchased 1,350 books for Dougherty County students with some of the books going to ASU, Darton College and Albany Technical College.
Copies of Gaines' 256-page novel also made it into local high schools and middle schools.
Gaines' novel is about an uneducated black man named Jefferson, who is accused of murdering a white storekeeper in the fictional town of Bayonne, La, during the 1940s and his relationship with Grant Wiggins, a teacher at a plantation school.
Albany High School ninth grade English teacher Tonya Nelson said the students enjoyed reading the novel and were interested in Jefferson and Grant's relationship.
"They were really interested in Jefferson and Grant and this story got them interested in other things as well." he said. "It got them talking and engaging in ideas. This is a fantastic book."
Readers of Gaines' novel were also able to ask the author about his book through a video conference at the closing ceremonies.
Some of the author's witty answers had much of the crowd laughing, such as when he was asked his feelings towards the movie adaptation of his novel.
"Nobody tells me how to write my book and I don't tell anyone how to make their movie," he said.
"I just make sure I tell my agent that we get a lot of money out of it," he joked.
During his video conference from his home in Louisiana, Gaines explained the genesis of the novel that many in Dougherty County have now read.
"I wanted to write a story about an execution, so a colleague told me about this material that he had about a young man who had been sent to the electric chair twice. The first time the chair failed, but a year later he was executed...," he said.
Gaines said while he was teaching a creative writing class he had a lawyer as one of his students who had a client on death row.
"I would ask him questions. I'd ask him about the size of the strap, the height and weight of the chair," he said.
Gaines said the character of Paul in "A Lesson Before Dying" is based on this particular student.
The author also said that the novel is not meant to reflect any specific political ideal.
"The book is not about capital punishment, it's about how to become better human beings," said Gaines.
The Big Read project was made possible through a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Albany was one of 269 organizations nationally selected to receive funds. ASU partnered with Dougherty County Library along with 25 other Albany organizations to host the Big Read event.
"We chose "A Lesson Before Dying" specifically for the community," said Hill. "In the book a great lesson is learned and it was a good lesson for our community. It is not the end, hopefully it is the beginning."
Moore and Hill said they hope to continue the Big Read program next year if funds are available.

When is it right to sell an investment that has made you a lot of money?
When there's a like-minded alternative with strong upside potential but lower risk.
Investors invariably and understandably focus on expected return. The first question going in to a purchase is usually "How much can I make?" Down the list, if it's even asked, is the real question — and it's not "How much can I lose?"
The bottom-line question investors should ask themselves before they buy is: "Can I stomach the risk?"
Losing money is painful, of course. But too often people can't handle the pain and sell at precisely the wrong time — then anxiously sit out any recovery.
Moreover, investors hang on to winners after their needs and circumstances have changed, ignoring the fact that what once fit their risk-tolerance profile no longer does. Those people may be in for a big, unwelcome surprise.
Until you've properly assessed it, don't take chances with risk.

One of the absolute stand out shades in the old line of colours was "ME Silver 945". It's a metallic silvery taupe with plummy undertones that gets huge raves pretty much everywhere it's mentioned. When this was discontinued, Shu Uemura released a replacement shade which is "ME Brown 850". Yes, I own both! A very common question is whether the two are the same or not.
While they look pretty much identical in the pan, they are not identical shades.
But the difference to a non-addict is not enough to warrant owning both shades. The ME Silver is far richer and more of a complex colour that the ME Brown. The ME Brown has more silver tones and looks flatter then the ME Silver. It still has the metallic finish but lacks the "WOW" factor that I consider the ME Silver to have.
Swatched on the back of my hand, I can see the subtle colour differences. While both are very much silvery taupes with plummy undertones, the ME Silver has some gold warmth, while the ME Brown is definitely much more silver. The colour to ME Brown is close, but there's something lacking to the richness and complexity of the colour.
The texture to ME Brown is still very soft and it's still very pigmented, but the older formula is just so much smoother. Both have very good pigmentation.
So, there are differences. But while the colours are not identical, I don't think you really have to have both. I don't think anyone would notice that you had two shades on your lid if you wore them both together. If you somehow get the oppertunity to own the ME Silver over the ME Brown then go for it, but the ME Brown is a pretty close match.

A Taiwanese animation denounces the fall of CIA head David Petraeus as just another stunt by US officials to stop him from testifying about the Benghazi protests.
Next Media Animation posted this romanticized timeline of events leading to Petraeus's resignation on YouTube on Monday, November 12. The clip is brilliant, although completely politically incorrect. It's particularly enjoyable if you crave political propaganda with a soap opera feel.
It centers around the publicized affair between the General and his biographer Paula Broadwell, which came to light as another woman became involved.
MacDill social liaison Jill Kelley exposed the couple's relationship after allegedly being threatened by Broadwell. In a strange twist, she also became involved as emails between herself and Petraeus's successor Gen. John Allen surfaced. If this isn't a soap opera, I don't know what is.
Videomakers mention the CIA director was scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding the Agency's intel about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Before being able to do so, he was "magically" vanished from his position.
Protests in Lybia were allegedly prompted by the release of an offensive Mohammad flick, and ended in the U.S. ambassador losing his life.

Definitions for jailbaitˈdʒeɪlˌbeɪt
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word jailbait
A person below the age of consent, who is considered sexually attractive.
Origin: jail bait, from the risk of a prison sentence.
Jailbait is slang for a minor who is younger than the legal age of consent for sexual activity, but physically mature enough to be mistaken for an adult, with the implication that a non-deviant older person might find them sexually attractive. As the legal age of consent varies by country and jurisdiction, the age at which a person can be considered "jailbait" varies. For example, in the United Kingdom, the age of consent is 16, and so the term is used to refer to those younger than 16.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Custom Safari
If this 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Custom Safari station wagon for sale on Hemmings.com looks familiar, that's because it just appeared on the cover of the July 2012 issue of Hemmings Motor News and within to illustrate our Buyer's Guide on 1959 Bonnevilles. We would have likely been all over it as a Hemmings Find of the Day anyway, considering its combination of station wagon body style, tri-tone interior and conspicuous late 1950s excess in styling. From the seller's description:
In beautiful mostly original condition. 389 automatic. ps. pb. radio new radial wide whites. This wagon is rare in this condition. Chrome and stainless is near perfect. Engine and trans rebuilt as needed. Runs like new.

Birthdate: November 2
Nickname: Rubberneck
Specialty: Big Mountain
Nationality: USA
Home Mountain: Squaw Valley
How and when did you start skiing, how has it evolved ever since, and what got you into freeskiing?
My mom was an avid skier and had me skiing at a young age. I played all types of sports growing up, including soccer in college, but nothing got me excited as skiing. Being in the mountains and the freedom it allows is like nothing else. I knew that's what I wanted so I quit soccer and chased my dream.
Was there any particular experience that made you consider pursuing skiing professionally?
As soon as I found out people made a living freeriding I knew that's what I wanted to do.
Who were/are your idols on and off the hill?
Scott Schmidt and Seth Morrison. They are 2 game changers that opened my eyes to so much.
What does skiing mean to you personally?
Skiing has been my life since early teenage years. I've sacrificed so much to be where I am today...it means everything to me.
Do you have any specific goals for your skiing in your future?
I like to step outside my comfort zone. As long as I'm continually learning and growing I'll always be happy in the mountains and on skis. My goal is simple...continue to push myself in the big mountains and have as much fun as possible.
What aspect of skiing thrills you the most?
Alaska...there's nothing else like it that I've found yet. It's a whole other dimension.
In what conditions and what terrain do you most enjoy riding?
I like soft snow and steep terrain...specifically spines.
Any activities that aren't ski related?
BASE jumping, skydiving, mountain biking and Nitro Circusing.
How do you manage to combine family/friends and job?
I don't know yet...I haven't figured that one out. It's a constant challenge keeping everyone happy while continuing to pursue your goals and dreams. You just work hard and make it work!
Please answer, if possible, with one word only.
Trick/move: Back flip
Band: Beastie Boys
Movie: Tombstone
Book: Endurance
Drink: Red wine
Food: Sushi
Country: USA
Resort/place to ski: Squaw Valley and Snowbird, Utah.
Car: Chevy Tahoe
What do you like about SCOTT?
SCOTT has defined itself through years of experience. They make quality gear and continually push their developments and growth. They are a great company to be a part of in more ways than one.
What are your favorite SCOTT products?
The Fix goggle...it fits my face well, the peripheral vision is great and they don't fog on me in poor conditions.
What SCOTT products are you using this year?
Off-Grid goggle and the Team Issue pole.
Who are your other sponsors?
Rockstar, DNA, Hurley, GoPro, Backcountry.com and Klint
Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully still playing in the mountains...I can't see myself doing anything else.
People you feel you need to thank:
I'd like to thank my wife Annika and son Oskar for all the support, love and understanding they have for me. And of course my sponsors for allowing me to live the dream.

The Feb 2 general election will go ahead even if there are no candidates in eight provinces, the Election Commission insists.
The announcement on Friday by EC secretary-general Puchong Nutrawong ended speculation that polls might be put on hold as street rallies demanding reform before the election intensify.
Protesters have blocked candidate registration in 28 constituencies in eight southern provinces - Surat Thani, Krabi, Trang, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Chumphon, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Phuket.
The provinces are strongholds of the Democrat Party, which is boycotting the election.
In 347 constituencies in 69 provinces where there were no registration problems, voters will cast ballots for constituency and party-list MPs, Mr Puchong said.
Voters in the eight provinces that have no constituency MP candidates will vote for party-list MPs only, he added.
Whether a government can actually be formed after Feb 2 remains in doubt. The law requires the certification of 95% of the total 500 constituency and list MPs before a House of Representatives meeting can be convened. The absence of 25 or more MPs rules out this possibility.
Constituency candidate registration ended on Thursday and could not be extended, said Mr Puchong.
He also dismissed speculation that the five EC commissioners were planning to resign in order to make continuing preparations for the feb 2 election impossible.
The EC advised candidates unable to register due to the protests to lodge their complaints to the Supreme Court's Election Cases Division.
The EC held talks on Friday with political parties at the Government Complex on Chaeng Watthana Road about broadcast airtime to be slotted to them for campaign messages.

Make a house out of ice cream sticks!Posted in The Recycler Tips on April 24th, 2011 by admin
Tags: Happiness Heroes Lebanon
With summer just around the corner, now is a great time to learn about what you can do with all of those ice cream sticks you will be left with! Instead of throwing them away, you can use the sticks to create your very own ice cream stick house like the ones below!
Creating a house out of ice cream sticks is very easy.
Things you will need:
- Cardboard
- Scissors or craft knife
- Popsicle/Ice Cream sticks
- Craft glue
- Paintbrush
- Acrylic paint
1. Decide how big you want your house to be. The size will determine how many sticks you will need to collect before building the house. Once you have settled on how big of a house you want to build, you will need to cut out a base for the house. You can make the base with cardboard or even a paper plate if your house is small enough.
2. Build the walls. The pattern for the walls will be the same no matter how large your house is. Lay out the sticks side by side until they form a wall about eight or nine sticks wide. Then take a Popsicle stick or two, and lay them horizontally on the bottom and top of your wall about a half inch from the ends. Once all the sticks are in place, secure them to the wall with craft glue. Continue to do this until you have created several wall panels.
3. Build the house. Once you have put up your walls, you will need to glue the sides together until it forms a box shape.
4. Create the roof. Once you have the square base, you can make the roof by laying additional sticks horizontally across the top of the house.
5. Decorate. You can now use acrylic paint to decorate your Popsicle house however you want to. Be creative and really make it your own!!
And you're done!
Have you created an ice cream stick house before? Tell us about it, leave a comment! Or even send us a picture of the house you created and we will post it on this blog!

Yaacov Kupitz and Micha A. Perles asked:
What is the smallest number C such that for every configuration of n points in the plane there is a line containing two or more points from the configuration for which the difference between the number of points on the two sides of the line is at most C?
We will refer to the conjecture that C is bounded as Kupitz-Perles conjecture. It was first conjectured that C=1, but Noga Alon gave an example with C=2. It is not known if C is bounded and, in fact, no example with C>2 is known.
Alon's example
Kupitz himself proved that , Alon proved that , Perles showed that , and Rom Pinchasi showed that . This is the best known upper bound. ( is a constant.) Pinchasi's result asserts something a little stronger: whenever you have n points in the plane, not all on a line, there is a line containing two or more of the points such that in each open half plane there are at least points.
The proof uses the method of allowable sequences developed by Eli Goodman and Ricky Pollack. Another famous application of this method is a theorem of Ugnar asserting that 2n points in the plane which are not on the same line determine at least 2n directions. Continue reading

Notebook: Vikings' late-game defense consistently poor in seventh loss
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Minnesota Vikings defense had come away with stops on four consecutive drives in the second half of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, who got the ball back with 2:44 left.
But it happened again.
Missing three of four starters in the secondary, the Cowboys picked apart the Vikings' 30th-ranked defense when it mattered as quarterback Tony Romo completed 7-of-9 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on the final drive to take the 27-23 lead.
The Vikings had held the Cowboys to 45 net yards on the previous four drives.
Third-down defense has been abysmal so far this season for the Vikings, but Romo didn't even need a third down on the final drive, in which he orchestrated the no-huddle offense that sealed the Cowboys' victory.
With cornerback Chris Cook out, cornerback Marcus Sherels filled in as the slot defender and was in coverage on receiver Dwayne Harris' go-ahead, seven-yard touchdown catch. Sherels appeared to freeze as Romo escaped from the pocket and threatened to run, but ultimately threw to Harris, who crossed the goal line three steps later off a 'drag' route.
For the third time this season, the Vikings defense failed to make one final stop as the unit has allowed last-minute touchdown passes (for wins) by the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys this season.
Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray returned from a knee injury, but had just four carries. Romo led the one-dimensional offense as he dropped back 54 times on 63 plays.
Despite the obvious game plan, the Vikings' replacements in the secondary failed to make plays as safeties Andrew Sendejo, Mistral Raymond and Robert Blanton rotated to fill in for the injured Jamarca Sanford and Harrison Smith. Cornerback A.J. Jefferson came away with the Vikings' first interception since the Sept. 29 win in London with less than five minutes left in the game.
But not even the rare interception by a Vikings defensive back was enough.
Romo telegraphed a pass to rookie receiver Terrance Williams and Jefferson stepped in front for the pick along the sideline. Jefferson rotated along with rookie cornerback Xavier Rhodes in relief of Josh Robinson, who moved to Cook's side.
The Vikings offense would take just 1:38 off the clock in the following three-and-out.
The Cowboys retained possession with 2:44 left and two timeouts, but needed to use just one as Romo completed the touchdown drive in 2:09.
OL trouble
Rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson muffed a kickoff return out of bounds, setting up the Vikings on their own five-yard line to start the second half offensively.
Instead of handing the ball off, Ponder dropped back as swing tackle J'Marcus Webb was beat by Cowboys defensive end George Selvie, who caused the sack-fumble in the endzone that led to a Dallas touchdown and the 20-10 lead.
Webb stepped in relief of right tackle Phil Loadholt, who suffered a concussion and exited before halftime.
The Vikings were 2-of-3 on fourth down, including Peterson's 11-yard touchdown run, but failed to convert a 4th-and-1 from the DAL 16 as the offensive line was dominated on the right side in the first-quarter attempt.
The run blocking has been one of the most looming disappointments in this issue-laced season, but Peterson still tied his season high with 140 yards on 25 carries in his homecoming to Texas.
The line allowed two sacks on Ponder, the second forcing the Vikings to use their first timeout with 15 seconds left on their final attempt to win the game.
Lasting effects
Loadholt's concussion may hold him out of Thursday's game against the Washington Redskins, per ESPN.com's Ben Goessling.
Tight end Kyle Rudolph suffered a foot injury on his 31-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter and did not return.
Cornerback Xavier Rhodes hurt his left leg and returned for one play in the second half, but could not remain in the game.
Defensive tackle Letroy Guion left with a shoulder injury and did not return.
Kicker Blair Walsh's plant-leg hamstring pull effected coach Leslie Frazier's decision to punt on 4th-and-5 from the DAL 36 instead of try the 53-yard field goal with three minutes left. Walsh had missed an extra point, his first since college, earlier in the game.

Home on the Range
|"Home on the Range"
|State song of Kansas
|Early 1870s
|Daniel E. Kelley
|Brewster M. Higley
"Home on the Range" is a classic western song, sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West. The lyrics were originally written by Dr. Brewster M. Higley of Smith County, Kansas in a poem entitled "My Western Home" in the early 1870s. In 1947, it became the state song of the American state of Kansas. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[1]
The poem was first published in a December 1873 issue of the Smith County Pioneer under the title "My Western Home".[2] The music was written by a friend of Higley, Daniel E. Kelley (1845–1905). Higley's original words are similar to those of the song today, but not identical; the original did not contain the words "on the range".[2] The song was adopted by settlers, cowboys, and others and spread across the United States in various forms.[3] During the early 20th century, it was arranged by Texas composer David W. Guion (1892–1981), who occasionally was credited as the composer. The song has gone under various names the most common are "Home on the Range" and "Western Home".[4] It was officially adopted as the state song of Kansas on June 30, 1947, and is commonly regarded as the unofficial anthem of the American West.[4][5]
The antelope referred to in the song is not a true antelope species, but is the American pronghorn that is often called an antelope.[6][7]
Modern usage[edit]
"Home on the Range" is often performed in programs and concerts of American patriotic music, and is frequently used in plays and films. These include the 1948 film Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (sung by both Cary Grant and Myrna Loy), the 1967 off-Broadway musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (sung by the cast as a glee club rehearsal number), the 1980 film Where the Buffalo Roam (sung by Neil Young over the opening credits), the 2009 film The Messenger (sung by Willie Nelson over the closing credits), and in the 1946 western film Colorado Serenade (sung by actor Roscoe Ates). Frank Sinatra recorded the song on March 10, 1946 and it was released in Great Britain, although it wasn't available in the United States until 1993.
The song has naturally also made its way into screen shorts for children and adults, as in the 1954 Looney Tunes cartoon, Claws for Alarm, sung by Porky Pig. Likewise, Bugs Bunny sings the song in both The Fair-Haired Hare and Oily Hare, the latter containing original lyrics specific to Texas oilmen.

Colab Space The Creative Block Kicks Off Construction in Downtown Baton Rouge
By Eliza Theiss, Associate Editor
The revitalization of downtown Baton Rouge continues with a trendy new spot: The Creative Bloc, an 11,500-square-foot collaborative workspace and multimedia production hub. The project, located at North Eighth and Main Street, recently started construction, helmed by businessman John Jackson and developer Fitch Development.
"The rehabilitation of these three historic buildings along with the recent construction of the Hampton Inn and the on-going construction of the IBM buildings, will revitalize Main Street again as a central corridor in downtown Baton Rouge," says developer Derek Fitch.
The Creative Bloc consists of three consolidated historic commercial buildings dating from the 1930s and 1950s that sat vacant and blighted for a considerable time. They were purchased in January 2013 by Jackson Group Investments, an affiliate of video production company Launch Media, both owned by John Jackson. Upon completion of The Creative Block, Launch Media will relocate its headquarters and all ten employees from Celtic Media Center, while keeping 3,700 square feet of colab space for leasing, reported The Times-Picayune.
The development will comprise work and office spaces as well as multimedia facilities such as post-production suites, fully equipped sound and video production studio and media server. The project is targeting visual media and creative professionals and companies. According to the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, two to three companies with less than ten employees would be able to lease space next to Launch Media. A further ten workstations will be available for independent professionals, to be leased on a yearly, monthly or hourly basis. A membership program with a maximum of 15 spots will be available for professionals who need sporadic access to downtown office space and amenities.
Although the cost and financing structure of the development has yet to be released, Launch Media did announce that the adaptive reuse project will be receiving federal and state historic preservation tax credits. Which presented project architects Tipton Associates with a special task: "Our goal has been to retain the historic character of the buildings while embedding within the required modern technological amenities", declared Ken Tipton, principal.

How Can I Win My Social Security Disability Case?
Recently, I came across this question and the following commentary in a forum. "I have mental health issues, migraines, and insomnia. I have a hearing for Social Security Disability. I am very nervous and I would like to know what goes on at the hearing and how I can win. I am not a fake; I truly need the SSDI. I do have a lawyer."
This statement garnered the following response: Do everything you can to recreate a list of days you had to get medical treatment and why, what you were able or unable to do when you were suffering from your disabling condition, and what you have done to recover your ability, so that you can show an ongoing or worsening situation.
While I do not totally disagree with this response, I am also not sure that it will help you win a disability case. An administrative law judge would be interested in how an individual's disabling conditions have affected their daily life and their ability to maintain employment. To this end, the administrative law judge may ask questions about an individual's medical treatment, medications, the side effects of their medications, and how their impairment has prevented them from performing their past work activity.
In this situation, the claimant's lawyer should have obtained current medical treatment information and forwarded this information to the Social Security hearing office prior to the hearing date. Additionally, the lawyer should have obtained a statement from their treating physician that contains a diagnosis, prognosis, response to prescribed medical treatment, and an opinion as to what the individual is able to do in spite of their medical or mental health issues. Additionally, the person's lawyer should be familiar with their client's work history and all disability lawyers and non-attorney claimant's representatives should be familiar with the Social Security medical vocational guidelines.
It is hard to know exactly what an administrative law judge might require from the disability applicant. However, there are things that all disability applicants should keep in mind when attending a Social Security disability hearing. Disability applicants should come to their hearing in proper attire (this is a hearing before a judge), be on time, and be prepared to answer questions about their daily life, their medical treatment, and how their condition has prevent them from working. If the disability applicant has representation, their representative will present their case to judge, and the judge may or may not have questions for them.

Henry Venn (Clapham Sect)
|Henry Venn
1770 by Mason Chamberlin the elder
Barnes, Surrey
Yelling, Huntingdonshire
|Evangelical minister
|Known for
|Founder of the Clapham Sect
Henry Venn (1725 in Barnes, Surrey, England – 1797), was an English evangelical minister and one of the founders of the Clapham Sect, a small but highly influential evangelical group within the Anglican Church.
Venn was educated at Cambridge University, where he found time to play cricket for England as well as studying at St John's and Jesus colleges.
He took orders in 1747, and was elected fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge, in 1749.[1] After holding a curacy at Barton, Cambridgeshire, he became curate of both St Matthew, Friday Street, in the City of London, and of West Horsley, Surrey, in 1750. Local clergy already considered him a Methodist (in later terms, an evangelical), since he taught Scripture in his home and the number of communicants at West Horsley increased from twelve to sixty. However, it was only at this time that his beliefs moved from the High Church views of The Whole Duty of Man to the more evangelical position of A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life. In 1754 he became curate of Clapham and was also elected lecturer of St Swithin's, London Stone and St Alban's Wood Street. He was vicar of Huddersfield Parish Church from 1759 to 1771, when he exchanged to the living of Yelling, Huntingdonshire where he died in the rectory - he is commemorated by a plaque over the pulpit of the parish church.
Besides being a leader of the evangelical revival, he was well known as the author of The Compleat Duty of Man (London, 1763), a work in which he intended to supplement the teaching embodied in the anonymous Whole Duty of Man from an evangelical perspective. A portrait of him, by John Russell, is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.
Henry Venn's descendants also came to prominence over the succeeding generations. His son John Venn (1759–1813) was one of the founders of the Church Missionary Society (CMS).
His granddaughter, by his daughter Eling, was Charlotte Elliott (18 March 1789 - 22 September 1871), writer of numerous hymns, most notably the well-loved Just as I Am.
His grandson, also named Henry Venn (10 February 1796 - 13 January 1873), was honorary secretary of the Church Missionary Society from 1841 to 1873. He expounded the basic principles of indigenous Christian missions later addressed and made widespread by the Lausanne Congress of 1974.
His great-grandson was John Venn (4 August 1834 – 4 April 1923), the mathematician, who devised the eponymous Venn Diagram.
His great-great grandson was John Archibald Venn, who became President of Queens' College, Cambridge.

Those who've managed to keep tabs on the coordinates of my far-flung family know I have a husband in Colorado, a daughter with me in Florida and another daughter in Texas allegedly attending college.
At Home: Guess who's coming to dinner — and staying!
It's complicated, and just got more complicated.
The Texas daughter now has a boyfriend. (The nerve!) Holding up the family tradition of not living in the same state as your significant other, she's chosen a young man who lives in Colorado. There he also allegedly attends college, though I'm not sure how given all the time he spends texting and calling Paige.
They met last summer at a camp. Now her boyfriend is coming to Florida for Thanksgiving.
And not just for dinner — for the week!
Over the past few months, I have taken comfort in knowing my daughter's romantic interest lives several states away, where he should stay, until she's about 33, so she can get some studying done.
"Sure, he can visit, honey," I say when Paige asks if she can invite him to Florida. "Where will he stay?"
"We have a guest room!" she says.
"Right. Of course."
I am not prepared to add this dimension to my family life.
I've had lots of houseguests over the years, but a boyfriend houseguest? Never. I begin to seriously rethink the guest room. Rather than fret about the condition and quantity of down pillows and sheets, I contemplate surveillance cameras and motion detectors.
Paige will stay in her room upstairs. Her boyfriend will sleep in the guest room downstairs. Between them lies a set of ancient wooden stairs, which creak like a graveyard gate. I picture ways I can booby trap them — wax them and rig them with a string of tin cans.
My husband, Dan, who will be in the house, will be the bouncer. Never mind that her boyfriend, whom I have only seen on Skype, appears to have arms bigger than Dan's legs, and could pick him up with his teeth.
It's not that I don't trust my daughter. I do. (Him, I'm not so sure.) But I also know that the line between trust and denial is thin. Motion lights are going in this week.
Regardless of who's visiting you this holiday season, it's a good time to give the guest room a once over to make sure it has the essentials, plus a few tailored touches depending on the guest. Here a few of my tips, along with some from Sally Morse, director of creative services for Hunter Douglas, a leading maker of window coverings:

WATCH THEM DIE's New Guitar Player: SONNY!
Sonny got
his start in the early to mid-nineties, playing guitar in various
bands out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Some of these bands included
KILLOWATT (Members of CLOWN,LURE LOK), ISORE (Members of PAXTON
QUIGGLY,FUTURES PLAN). Also during this time,Sonny spent a year
living in Los Angeles, California where he was able to get a start
doing studio work for various music producers, such as the heralded
DUST BROTHERS (most famous for their work with the BEASTIE BOYS).
Working with the DUST BROTHERS lead to additional studio sessions
with many different artists, various movie sountracks, and commercial
work. It also lead to Sonny being able to head out on the road
with BECK for five months druing the 1995 Lollapollozza Tour,
and later Europe.
Sonny eventually returned to NEW MEXICO, and there he began working on new music with some old friends. This new music would emphasize a heavier, more brutal sound. This lead to Sonny's joining WORD SALAD, who already had several releases out. WORD SALAD had been touring the US for years, and after Sonny joined the band they continued to tour relentlessly, in addition to inking a deal with Prank records out of San Francisco.
came to an end in 1999, with most members relocating to the Bay
Area. Sonny stayed in New Mexico and formed a new band called
BULLET TRAIN MAFIA, which featured ex- members of WORD SALAD, THE FANATICS, and LOGICAL NONSENSE, to name but a few. BULLET TRAIN MAFIA played all over the Southwest, including Arizona, Texas, Colorado, and California.
After recording with BTM, Sonny went on the road with WATCH THEM DIE (in support of GWAR) to do sound. After returning from tour, Sonny was asked to join the band on guitar. He has since completed a US Tour with WATCH THEM DIE (as part of package bill featuring CATTLE DECAPITATION & GOATWHORE). Sonny and WATCH THEM DIE will be heading back into the studio in 2005 to record one of the most anticipated metal releases of the year.

(Rob Tringali/MLB/Getty Images)The Red Sox plan to follow up short-term deals with first baseman Mike Napoli and shortstop Stephen Drew with $14.1 million qualifying offers, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Heyman reports that the Red Sox also plan to make a qualifying offer to outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.While the Red Sox would like to bring Napoli and Drew back to defend their World Series title, they also will set themselves up to receive compensatory first-round draft choices should either player leave.Napoli left the Rangers and agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal with the Red Sox before a chronic hip condition was detected in a medical exam. He eventually settled for a one-year, $5 million guaranteed deal loaded with incentives. Hitting .259 with 23 home runs and 92 RBI helped him reach his original $13 million mark for the season. Now Napoli appears primed to seek another long-term deal.VERDUCCI: This World Series belonged to David OrtizFrom ESPN.com:Napoli said, "I want to be here. I love this place" in the midst of Wednesday night's post-game celebration.Drew is coming off a one-year, $9.5 million deal that saw him hit .253 with 13 home runs, 67 RBI and a high OPS (.777) among shortstops, while also proving himself fully recovered from an ankle injury suffered a season ago.Ellsbury (.298, nine home runs, 53 RBI, .355 OPS, 52 SBs) is widely considered the second biggest name on the free-agent market behind Robinson Cano and may be the most likely of the trio to leave Boston.Ellsbury said on Wednesday night that he wanted to enjoy celebrating his second World Series title with his teammates and Red Sox fans before even thinking about free agency.From Boston.com:"I haven't even thought about it. You don't get this many opportunities to play in the World Series. When you do, you want to capitalize on it.

Jasper County Board Amends Liquor Ordinance
Published on June 15 2012 11:35 am
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
Jasper county board members Thursday agreed to amend the county's liquor ordinance to allow gaming.
The motion was prompted by two business owners who want to offer video poker in their establishments.
County Board Chairman Ed Mitchell discussed the history of the video gaming law in Illinois. The vote to amend the liquor ordinance and allow gaming was 6-4 in favor with one member abstaining and one member absent. Those in favor were both Webers, Kerner, Mitchell, Bierman and Pilman while those voting against were Miller, Haskett, Leffler and Kinder; Smithenry abstained from the vote and Swick was not at the meeting.
In other business, Jasper board members heard from Ann Marie Hopkins of Kemper CPA Group that no problems were found in the county audit for the past fiscal year; soil cement work on Apple Shed Road should start in two weeks; a bridge aid petition for $4,900 from Grove Township was approved; and board members heard that culvert replacement work is about to begin.
Jasper County Sheriff Ed Francis reported that authorities seized a 2005 Dodge Dakota was seized in a drug stop in the county; it was agreed to take bids on the sale of a 2000 Dodge Durango; a report was made on problems with the new phone system at the county jail; and the Board voted to declare Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and New Year's Eve and New Year's Day as county holidays.
Board members approved the annual Comprehensive Economic Development Study for South Central Illinois Regional Planning and Development Commission; agreed to intervene in the CIPS property tax protest; heard that the new ambulance unit will be retrofitted with different cabinetry since the first items don't fit; Kenneth Campton was approved as a trustee of the Dieterich Fire Protection District; and the passing of former County Board member Eugene Marshall was noted. Marshall died this week at age 99.

Nesbitt: Favorite music would play well on a deserted island
Sitting in my dentist's waiting room is not my idea of fun.
I glanced at the magazines on the table and realized I had read most of them. At that moment a woman entered the main door, her hand clutched to the right side of her face and obviously in pain. She begged to see the dentist, and the office clerk asked me whether I would surrender my appointment time to her. I agreed, and the lady was taken off to the inner sanctum of the dentist. Apparently, she was a German tourist staying in a nearby hotel, and her tooth had broken in half, and she was in terrible pain.
I prepared myself for a long wait. Looking around at the walls of the office I noticed one picture in particular. It was a scene of summer: blue skies, Caribbean blue ocean and children playing on the beach.
The brain is indeed a wondrous organ.
Looking at that picture put me into another dimension. For some reason it took me back to the 1950s when the BBC Radio had a program called "Deserted Island Discs." It was a simple but very popular concept. A well-known personality would be invited to the studio and told he was alone on a deserted island and could take with him a certain number of music records or discs. What would they be, and why were those particular ones his choices? I decided to whip the recall part of my brain into shape, and see what I came up with.
My first choice would be "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" I was studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art when the last tour of Marlene Dietrich was announced. She would be playing at the Cafe de Paris, a local nightclub, and two of my fellow students wanted to see her. We counted our pennies and pounds and figured we could make it.
Dietrich was introduced by Noel Coward and came slithering on stage in a sequined gown. Her cheekbones were sharply etched on her ageless face. Now I think most people would agree Dietrich was not a great singer, but she sang "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" with such passion that the hair on the back of my neck stood up. The song talks of the futility of war and its repercussions on those left. I still remember that performance vividly.
The second choice would be Richard Kiley playing the part of Don Quixote in "Man of La Mancha." I saw it at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. His solo "The Impossible Dream" was performed alone onstage, strategically lit. He was magnificent.
My third choice would be from the "Messiah." It has always been a favorite of mine, and I play the whole oratorio each Christmas. Soprano soloist, Victoria de los Angeles, sings "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" with such passion and conviction that it would console and give me hope on a deserted island.
My fourth choice would have to be "Calon Lan." It is a Welsh song written in the Welsh language. It is sung by rugby players and their fans when they have won a match. If I had a dime for every rugby match I have attended in the damp, dreary Welsh weather, I would be a very rich woman.
My fifth choice is the overture to "Candide," written by Leonard Bernstein. It is such brilliant music and lifts my spirits so much. I was a stage manager for the production at the Colony Theater in Los Angeles but lived in Santa Paula at the time. I would drive home at 1 a.m. and sing all the tunes from the show, making the trip seem very short.
How could I not include "Amazing Grace" by Jesse Norman? Each time I hear it, tears come to my eyes. Perhaps I would play that at my demise on the deserted island.
I have so many more choices. I would want some Sinatra, some Vivaldi and some Elgar. Where would life be without music?
Time's up. My name is called, and into the dentist's chair I go.

For the past six years we've made Grand Challenges Explorations grants to fund scientific work on unproven ideas that could potentially be ground breaking in solving major global health and development problems. Today, we are announcing the Phase I winners
in the 12th round of these innovative grants and three phase II winners.
April 29, 2014 / Raja Rao
On a recent grantee visit to a high-tech startup company that makes vaccine refrigerators in rural Wales, it struck me that almost all of our work in immunization—and maybe even all of our work in global development and health—comes together in the cold
chain for vaccines, specifically the refrigerator. I know – an audacious statement. Where's the data? Let me explain.

Inequity in healthcare cannot be addressed without measurement
March 07, 2014 / Claire Morris
Passionate women and girls are fighting to create a more positive future. From heads of state to midwives in remote villages, they are refusing to accept the status quo, refusing to keep quiet and refusing to accept inequality.
"Our desire to bring every good thing to our children is a force for good throughout the world. It's what propels societies forward." —Melinda Gates
The Global Fund has helped to deliver more than 190 million bed nets to protect families from malaria.
"The world faces a clear choice. If we invest relatively small amounts, many more poor farmers will be able to feed their families." —Bill Gates, 2012 Annual Letter
"When it come to global health, Bill and I are optimists—but we're impatient optimists. Tremendous progress is being made. But there is still so much we're impatient to see done." —Melinda French Gates
In Senegal, 80% of households now have a bed net, helping the number of malaria cases there drop 50% in a single year.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Start thinking winter because http://www.sierraattahoe.com/index.asp target=_blank>Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort is gearing up for what the Farmer's Almanac is predicting will be an above average snow year. With an annual average of 480 inches of snow, an above average year means plenty of powder days to come. Here's what else is coming at Sierra Resort this winter.

With all due respect to the Beach Boys, there are no good vibrations, says K2's Anthony DeRocco, who has devoted much of his 12-year career designing skis to squelching the bad vibes that turn glide into grind.

Listen closely to the mantra of Waterville Valley's staff, and you'll hear what the resort is all about: "Cool, easy and playful." Waterville may not have the urban vibe of nearby sister-resort Loon or the blood-and-guts steeps of its big-mountain neighbor Cannon, but it does have something that's hard to find in today's ski world: a multi-generational soul.
The ever-accelerating pace of change that infests every corner of modern life has not spared the world of skis. It was only seven years ago that the first, funky-shaped skis appeared on our shores.

City of Redlands Police Department
Two people were arrested for driving under the influence during a weekend sobriety checkpoint and more than 30 people were cited by targeted patrols for a variety of traffic violations since Friday.
Redlands Police conducted a grant-funded sobriety/drivers license checkpoint beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, through 4 a.m. Saturday, on eastbound Redlands Boulevard between Sixth and Ninth streets.
One-hundred eighty-three drivers passed through the checkpoint and 157 were screened. In addition to the two arrests for driving under the influence, one person was cited for driving on a suspended license and two for driving without licenses. Another driver was ticketed for running a red light.
On Monday, four officers conducting grant-funded traffic patrols issued citations to two drivers who were driving with suspended licenses and another who was driving without a license. Officers also issued 16 tickets to drivers who were talking on their cell phones, three who were not wearing seatbelts, three for speeding, two for running a red light and one for failing to stop at a stop sign.
The national Driver Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown is led by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and NHTSA, with the California Avoid DUI Task Force Campaign combining high-visibility enforcement and heightened public awareness through publicity. Funding for sobriety checkpoints and targeted patrols is provided through an OTS grant.
