It wasn't all good news for Team "Hunger Games" over the weekend. Despite fawning reviews and record-breaking ticket sales, some fans of the blockbuster young adult trilogy by author Suzanne Collins were upset by the decision to cast an African-American actress as Rue, one of the supporting characters. Never mind that she's described as having "dark brown skin" in the original book.
As Jezebel notes, many "Hunger Games" viewers resorted to sending racist tweets over the fact that Rue (played in the film by young actress Amandla Sternberg) was black.
"Why does Rue have to be black," wrote one ignorant fan, whose Twitter page no longer exists. "Not gonna lie, kinda ruined the movie."
"Awkward moment when Rue is some black girl and not the innocent blonde girl you picture," wrote another user, whose account has also been deleted.
Of course, the occasion of "The Hunger Games" arriving in theaters isn't the first time some fans were upset with the casting. Last year, after the character posters for "The Hunger Games" debuted -- showing both Sternberg as Rue and Lenny Kravitz as stylist Cinna -- reactions on the Internet were equally harsh.
"I thought she would be white," wrote one fan.
"The Hunger Games" is out in theaters now. For more on the racist "Hunger Games" tweets, head over to Hunger Games Tweets, a Tumblr created to "expose the 'Hunger Games' fans on Twitter who dare to call themselves fans yet don't know a damn thing about the books."
[via Jezebel]
As for visual spectacle, there's enough but, along with it, a feeling of being slightly shortchanged; the long shots of gigantic cityscapes, of a fast train gliding silkily through the country, of massive crowds gathered to see this year's gladiators before they set off to kill one another, of the decorative flames emanating from the leads' costumes as the pair is presented to the public for the first time -- all are cut a bit short, as if further exposure would reveal them as one notch below first-rate.
As thrilling and smart as it is terrifying. There have been a number of big-gun literary series brought to screen over the past decade. This slays them all.
Slack pacing, poorly developed subplots, shabby camerawork, and miscasting dog the movie. Incongruous tonal shifts disguise more than elucidate a bloated story with subversive aspirations it can't fulfill. For all of Jennifer Lawrence's charms -- and they are many -- the gifted actress is no competition for a wobbly script and weak chemistry with Josh Hutcherson, who plays Katniss's fellow District 12 competitor Peeta.
"The Hunger Games" is a big, satisfying piece of entertainment. You can't ask for anything more.
Everything starts with Lawrence, and she is absolutely perfect as Katniss. She is gorgeous enough to flourish during the pageantry stages of the Games, yet naturalistic enough to convince us that this scrappy survivor can do more than persevere in the arena.
Gary Ross' futuristic adventure drama is light years ahead of 'Twilight'." It's better and scarier than its source book and aims an angry eye at our bloodthirsty, watch-anything-and-cheer culture."
"Whatever 'The Hunger Games' lacks in originality, it makes up for with verve and relentless forward motion. The movie dazzles you with its bravado and moves fast enough to keep you from asking too many questions about its implausibility."
"So little is seen of Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Katniss' soul mate/fellow hunter ... that the uninitiated might not pay attention to the third angle of the story's romantic triangle -- about the only element this high-quality pop culture phenomenon has in common with the swoons of 'Twilight.'"
"Gary Ross's 'The Hunger Games' ... is at best a mediocre effort -- an obviously second-tier thing, tedious, lacking in poetry or grace or kapow. It feels sketchy, under-developed, emotionally simplistic and hambone. And it looks cheap and cheesy."
"The film version is actually fairly faithful to the book. Except that it takes all the flaws of the book -- outlandish genetic mutations, an endless sequence that takes place in a cave -- and fixes them. And, as stated before, it's interesting to watch what's going on outside of the arena once the Games have started."

I recently purchased a triathlon bike and havent found an adjustment yet that relieves the pressure I feel from the saddle in the area that a guy doesnt want significant pressure. Could it maybe be something I cant adjust like incorrect bike size or need a new saddle (using an Arione) or should I keep tweaking my set-up?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

What would you like to do?
What does it mean when a drug test swab does not turn blue?
You played Jordan Lyle, on Season 2 of ABC Family's The Lying Game. What do you miss most about the series?View Full Interview
Is methadone tested for on a standard mouth swab drug test?
No! The professional ordering the swab, has to pay way more for this level of drug testing, and I highly doubt they will do so!
Do you sell the swab drug test?
you can get it at the grocery store
Cotton swab drug test?
A cotton swab drug test is one that is performed to see if the person has done any drugs. A cotton swab is used to wipe the inside of the cheek and check your system for d…rugs.
How do you pass a swab drug test on marijuana?
Saliva tests are able to detect use within the past few days.Detection is available immediately upon use and usually detection period for Cannabis -Up to 14 to 24 hours (prime… detection range for THC is normally up to 24 hours, but detection up to 48 hours has been noted, so 72 hours should be considered quite safe). The longest detection time story i have ever heard that was true detected use 1 week and 1 day ago, and that was from someone who would smoke 3-4 joints a day.So the best way to pass saliva test is simply by abstinence from weed 3-4 days before your test.
Does a mouth swab drug screen turn blue when positive for marijuana?
No, it turns blue when you have soaked it enough, you can only determine if it is positive once it is placed in test tube or strip nd wait 10 minutes for result, or send it to… a lab to be thoughrouly examined
Can marijuana be detected by a swab drug test?
Sure. THC the main ingredient in MJ can be detected in any kind of test - hair, saliva, urine, blood. This is the most recognizable drug and it's stays longer than any other d…rug in your system.
How do you beat a mouth swab drug test?
you dont... it beats you
How can you beat a drug swab test?
Cant. Just dont get high!!
How do you cheat on a mouth swab drug test?
how do i beat a swab drug test You don't - we catch them all. The worse possible thing for you to do is to follow any of the advice given on the web. We watch for all of that …and when we find it we look at the specimin even more carefully because of the attempted lies. don't let this^^^dude lie to you.there are mouth washes you can buy,to mask your saliva.and it undetectable. try high voltage saliva cleaner or total detox.there are many more.
When you get a mouth swab for drug test what do they test for?
THC primarily, since you inhale the smoke.
Does vinegar affect a drug swab test?
No - But a mouth full of Fluoride Toothpaste does (hint hint)
In Uncategorized
What does inconclusive mean for a swab test?
Inconclusive generally means that some of the compounds the test was trying to detect were found, but not in sufficient concentration to mean a positive result.
In Drug Tests
How do you pass a mouth swab drug test if i am?
I've read that eating a meal high in fat content will facilitate passing the oral swab test
How do you pass swab drug test?
don't use drugs
What drugs does a swab test detect?
A swab test doesn't detect drugs. A swab test detects infections. I must disagree. Swab tests are often used to sample infections, but can and, in some places, are used to de…tect concentrations of certain drugs, usually recreational, in the human system. Actually YES they do & they're quite effective as it is difficult to mask saliva...the tests are given in a group setting, and the saliva test is tamper-proof...i work in risk management, and this is becoming a more prevalent means of testing. The way it works is; swab is given, read & immediately placed in a sealed sleeeve. The test doesnt pin-point a specific drug, however, ANY substance detected will give a "probable cause" result. At this point, the swab is sent to the lab to determine EXACTLY what drug has been detected in the saliva...i've yet to see anyone skirt this test (your saliva doesnt lie)
In Drug Tests
Can a cotton swab drug test be wrong?
They can return false readings but don't count on it. They can and will re-test.

Telling Stories through Artistic Photography
BELFAIR - To learn more about Fay Marley-Clarke and Always Elegance Photography, go to www.faymarley-clarke.com and www.alwayselegancephotography.com.
As a child growing up in London, Fay Marley-Clarke was a "terrible stutterer." She didn't talk much, as talking was a big chore.
Then, one day as an adult, she picked up a camera — and realized she didn't have to talk behind it. "When I started shooting, the camera became my voice," she says.
That was in the early 1980s, and since then Marley-Clarke has developed a photography career that has taken her around the world. And while she's done photo shoots for some big names all over the country — including Hilton Hotels and Neiman Marcus — it's the kind of work she does now, from her Belfair-based studio called Always Elegance Photography, that she has found the most rewarding.
Shooting everything from weddings and births to portraits and senior photos, she adds extra creative touches to the finished product by using digital brushes to paint onto the photographs. Instead of physically holding a brush and paints, she mixes digital paints and uses dozens of digital brushes to paint by hand onto the computer's photo "canvas." The result is a piece of art that captures the person or the moment's essence.
"I like to take a picture and turn it into fine art," she says. "I want to see more art in people's homes, not just 4-by-6 glossies… I want to take the portrait to a different level, back to 100 years ago when it was an important part of the heritage, not a 4-by-6 snapshot."
Marley-Clarke moved to Belfair two years ago from Phoenix, Arizona. Following the death of her husband, she wanted to be closer to her daughter in Belfair. She planned on moving to Gig Harbor, but when she found a home overlooking Hood Canal in Belfair, with a perfect upstairs space for a studio, she was sold.
In the past two years, Always Elegance Photography has been growing, and Marley-Clarke offers both studio sessions and environmental shots. Many of her photos are framed by gorgeous backgrounds of sunsets, the waterfront, or beautiful scenery.
"People asked me, 'Why are you in Belfair?' I said, there's pearls and diamonds everywhere. I have found pearls and diamonds in the people I'm meeting over here," she says. "Everyone has a story. Everyone's story has a pearl."
That love for storytelling through photos has helped her photography evolve over the years.
When Marley-Clarke had moved to Canada as an adult, she got an associate's degree in photography and film/video. The more she did photography, the more she realized she loved it. She started out doing commercial work, and put herself through college when she decided to go back for a bachelor's degree in art and advertising. But she kept being asked to shoot weddings. When she finally gave in, she announced she would do it on one condition: She would shoot it as a photojournalist instead of doing posed shots.
"I was shooting photojournalistically before it became in vogue here (in the United States) 10-15 years ago," she says.
Discovering a Love for People
After moving to the United States in 1995, Marley-Clarke helped her new husband get his companies off the ground in Phoenix, then ventured into getting a master's of business administration degree. Returning to photography part-time, she consulted on organizational and strategic planning. But photography kept tugging at her heart, and when that business grew big enough, she returned to her true love.
"It was lovely. I had a very healthy business there," she says.
At some point on her path, Marley-Clarke realized she didn't enjoy photographing meat —sprayed with Pam so it looked sizzling — and other inanimate objects as much as she enjoyed photographing people. To her, it became important to watch her customers' faces brighten when they loved their photos.
The more she interacted with people, the more she loved it. "I love to discover people," she says.
Appropriately, she calls her portrait photo sessions "portrait studies." They take an hour or more, and she gradually makes the person more comfortable and candid. "It's not like sitting on a stool, turn this way and that way," she says. "I'm taking the time with someone to get used to me so they let it all out."
She believes most people have a fear of the camera, so they feel like they have to "put on a face" for it. "If you don't love your photograph, it's because you put on the fakeness on the face," she says.
As Marley-Clarke followed her passion, she herself began to change. "The more I got to the point of loving photography, the more I got to the point I could talk," she says.
She took a course to help her overcome stuttering, but didn't like to speak slowly and with purposefully crafted speech, as the course taught. Marley-Clarke believes the thing that helped her gain her speaking courage was not so much that class as it was the very same thing that she once fell in love with because it allowed her to keep silent: the camera.
"I really think photography was the medium that brought me out," she says. "It helped me discover myself."

Councilman Doug Burlison made the right choice recently when he proposed an amendment that would allow the people of Springfield to vote on a highly controversial piece of legislation.
The legislation at question would force honest families to visit their doctor in order to buy safe and effective cold and allergy medicine containing pseudoephedrine. It is an extreme policy and represents a drastic overreach by our local government.
Councilman Burlison's proposal is in the people's best interest. Already, it's been widely reported that a majority of Springfield residents oppose the idea of a prescription mandate for medicine containing pseudoephedrine.
Two months ago, Councilman Fishel did a poll among his constituents and found that 70 percent opposed the policy.
A recent poll, which surveyed 1,046 Springfield voters June 25-26, found that a 65 percent majority of Springfield residents oppose the prescription requirement.
In politics, we call this overwhelming or a "landslide."
We would most certainly support the council voting this requirement down, as it is clear the residents don't think it is a good idea. However, if the council refuses to listen to the people, we support Councilman Burlison's efforts to let the people speak out at the voting booth.

Pricing American Stock Options by Linear Programming
M. A. H. Dempster
University of Cambridge - Centre for Financial Research; Cambridge Systems Associates Limited
J.P. Hutton
Nomura Holdings, Inc. (NHI)
October 24, 1996
We investigate numerical solution of nine difference approximations to American option pricing problems, using a novel direct numerical method |simplex solution of a linear programming formulation. This approach is based on a new result extending to the parabolic case the equivalence between linear order complementarity problems and abstract linear programs known for certain elliptic operators. We test this method empirically, comparing simplex and interior point algorithms with the projected successive overrelaxation (PSOR) algorithm applied to the American vanilla put and lookback put. We conclude that simplex is roughly comparable with projected SOR on average (faster for fine discretisations, slower for coarse), but is more desirable for robustness of solution time under changes in parameters. Furthermore, signicant speed-ups are certainly possible over the results given here.

Diamond Sangha Obituary for Aitken RoshiThis Aitken Roshi obituary comes our way from the good people at the Honolulu Diamond Sangha, the lay Zen organization that Robert Aitken founded with his wife Anne Hopkins Aitken in 1959. Robert Aitken Roshi (1917-2010) Aitken Gyoun Roshi, beloved teacher and founder of the Diamond Sangha, died August 5 in Honolulu at the age of 93. Although he had been in declining health for many years and was confined to a wheelchair, he continued to be active, attending weekly zazen at Palolo Zen Center, where he lived his final years, and working virtually to the minute his caregiver drove him to the hospital emergency room. Born Robert Baker Aitken in Philadelphia, he moved to Honolulu at the age of five with his parents and younger brother, when his father, an anthropologist, joined the ethnology field staff of Bishop Museum. After growing up largely in Hawaii (with several intervals in California, living with one set of grandparents or another), at the outbreak of the war in the Pacific he was captured on Guam, where he had been working as a civilian. His amazingly fortuitous introduction to Zen came during his ensuing years of internment in Japan, through a fellow internee, the British writer R.H. Blyth. After his release, Aitken Roshi resumed his interrupted college studies at the University of Hawaii, graduating in 1947 with a bachelor's degree in English literature. He returned to the university for a master's in Japanese studies, which he received in 1950, and his thesis, concerning Zen's influence on the great haiku poet Basho, later became the basis of his first book, A Zen Wave. Between his degrees, he married society-page columnist Mary Laune, and the two of them lived briefly in California, where Roshi started graduate work at the University of California at Los Angeles and began Zen practice with Nyogen Senzaki, a disciple of Shaku Soen Zenji and himself a returnee from internment by the United States. Although he revered Senzaki Sensei and quoted him fondly ever after, this first stretch of practice with him was short lived, and Roshi's next step, on the advice of D.T. Suzuki, was to go to Japan to practice. More »

Head, Corporate Affairs AbdulAziz Abdullahi made the remarks when the management of the company paid a courtesy call on the Media Trust Kaduna office. He said Kaduna's energy needs will be met if KEDCO receives the amount of electricity it requires. He said about 150MW is supplied to the company for onward distribution to its customers, an amount less than the "600MW it requires." The company said most of its customers including government agencies don't pay their electricity bills, leading to sharp shortfall in revenue generation.He said the military and police owe the company about N5 billion, adding that officials of the ministries of finance, power and defence were making plans to settle the bills for the military. Mr. Abdullahi said the company is expected to make over N3 billion from its customers monthly but 'hardly gets N1.2 billion' which would not be enough to settle its own bills and pay salaries.

It depends, if you don't wear glasses the viewfinder in a IIIf is fine, no need for an external viewfinder.
I do wear glasses now and found it to difficult to frame a shot without an external so I have an SBOOI on one of my two IIIf's. The SBOOI is still pretty small so even if it ads a little to the size it is still a very compact camera.

ERC Vows to Slap Penalties on WESM Price-Fixing Offenders
Byline: MYRNA M. VELASCO
Should investigation proves beyond reasonable doubt that any of the trading teams of the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) arbitrarily initiated acts to manipulate prices at the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) declared that those found responsible shall be slapped with penalties.
"If anti-competitive behavior is established and duly reported to the ERC, appropriate remedies such as directives to fix or control the price will be issued and the appropriate penalties imposed, after observance of the requirements of due process," said ERC Commissioner and Officer-in-Charge Alejandro Z. Barin.
He added that the regulatory body is still awaiting any submissions to be made by the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) in the investigation it is undertaking, which is planned for completion within 45 days.
"The ERC will evaluate and validate PEMC's report according to set procedures," Barin explained.
The PEMC was prompted to probe alleged pricefixing that may have been instigated by PSALM on the electricity spot market's third month of operation, covering the August 26 to September 25 billing cycle; after dramatic spikes in load weighted average price of traded volumes were noted.
While some parties are quick to point out that the market gouging may have transpired because of lax regulatory approach of the ERC, Barin noted that such allegation is unfounded because policies to be undertaken are clearly set out under the promulgated Competition Rules and Complaint Procedures. …

Trying To Make Sense When Numbers Don't Tell All
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 31, 8:30 AM
Google and the broadcast networks finally have a mutually annoying problem over which they can commiserate: declining use numbers. While the spin is different in their respective corners of the changing media universe, the bottom-line issues are the same. Verifying and stemming the losses is not the same as profitably wrestling with the turning tide.

Time-Warner: Time to Stop Obsessing And Get On With It
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 28, 8:00 AM
Obsessing over Time Warner's fate and fortune is a time-honored pursuit that usually ends with the same discouraging realization. Even after adding AOL, subtracting cable, tweaking filmed entertainment and contemplating an overall breakup, the $50 billion behemoth is a product of reactionary rather than visionary leadership-and is, at its core, a content company.

Clear Channel Is Portent Of Future TV Station Deals
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 27, 8:00 AM
Broadcasters have to be wondering whether the threatened collapse of Clear Channel Communications' sale is unique to a weakened radio market, or if it portends valuation and funding problems for some local television stations vexed by digital conversion and advertising recession uncertainties.

Recession + Google = Critical Blow To Broadcasters
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 26, 8:01 AM
The one-two punch of an economic recession and Google steamrolling Madison Avenue is a double dare to the broadcast networks to adjust their advertising practices and pricing now--or suffer imminent bottom-line consequences.

GE Says No NBC Sale, But 2009 Could Change Everything
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 25, 8:30 AM
General Electric Chairman Jeff Immelt emphatically denies plans to sell NBC Universal, pointing to cable network and international growth as offsets to its fourth-place broadcast TV network and its increasing vulnerability during the ad recession. But 2009 could tell another tale.

Verizon, AT&T Control Bandwidth--But What Will They Do With It?
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 24, 7:30 AM
The $19.6 billion raised by the federal government's auction of the analog spectrum will barely ease the $263 billion national deficit. But it will make Verizon, AT&T and Google (by default) bigger power brokers in an exploding wireless digital marketplace. For the winning bidders, the spectrum is a rare opportunity to change the complexion of the wireless mobile scheme by directly managing applications and platforms, some of which don't yet exist.

Users To Apple iTunes: We Want Music In The Key Of Free
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 21, 7:45 AM
It has become a familiar predicament for digital media innovators: how to leverage and grow new markets. So it is not surprising that Apple is seeking to boost the sale of iPods and iTunes content downloads by altering its pricing arrangements. Continuing to charge consumers, by any other name, could be a long-term mistake. Eventually, Apple will learn -- just as AOL did -- that walled gardens and mobile interactive consumers don't mix.

New Rules: Rich Bullies Feast On Bad News
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 20, 8:49 AM
One thing became clear this week: Intelligent bullies with position and financial resources can opportunistically seize on bad news paralysis. Their objective--to leverage waning assets or those difficult to value in a chaotic environment--is a template for forced growth. It will become a hallmark of this year's restructuring deals. Think Microsoft, Liberty Media and, yes, JP Morgan.

Bearish Fallout For Media
by Diane Mermigas on Mar 18, 7:30 AM
It's only a matter of time before the fallout from the Bear Stearns bailout, intensifying finanical market turmoil, and the tightening economic squeeze catch up with all companies. Media-related players--from communications and entertainment to the Internet to advertisers--will see the impact in advertising revenues, consumer spending and the availability of funding for deals and expansion in the second half of the year. Even well-heeled media players with limited ad exposure will feel the pain.

John Montgomery of Wabash County, Illinois

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 4:24PM GMT
I'm looking for the parents of John Montgomery of Wabash County, Illinois. He was born Jan. 9, 1809 either in NC or Tenn. (I'm leaning towards Tenn.) He married Elizabeth Gaddy (dau. of Elijah Gaddy and Lydia Fuller) in Wabash County, Ill in 1830. She died in April 1858. He died Dec. 4, 1858 in Wabash County. John & Elizabeth had 11 children, most of them underage when their parents died. Two of the sons, Leonard and William were killed in the Civil War. Since Leonard is not that common of a Montgomery name, I am hoping that John might be tied to the Montgomerys in Bedford and Coffee Co., Tenn. as well as Leonard L. Montgomery in Franklin Co., Ill.
Children of John and Elizabeth:
James Montgomery b: 02 Feb 1834 in Wabash Co, Ill d aft. 04 Feb 1888 md.Lidia Elizabeth (Sidia) Moore m: 19 Mar 1863 in Lawrence County, Illinois She was b: 14 Aug 1838 in Illinois d: 16 Nov 1893 James had at least 9 children but most died in infancy or childhood. Possibly Elizabeth, Mary A., and Sarah E. lived to adulthood.
William Montgomery b: 13 Feb 1836 in Wabash Co,Ill d: 06 Apr 1862 in Battle Of Shiloh, Tennessee--unmarried
George Montgomery b: 15 Aug 1838 in Wabash Co,Ill d: Bef. 1850 in Wabash County, Ill
John Montgomery, Jr. b: 03 Aug 1840 in Wabash Co, Ill probably did not live to adulthood
Lucinda Montgomery b: 25 Jan 1842 in Wabash Co, Ill d: Bet. 1910 - 1920 in Probably Tarrant County, Texas
Md #1 Archibald Ruddle Roberts b: 12 Oct 1822 in Wayne Co, Ill m: 27 Nov 1859 in Mt. Carmel, Wabash Co, Ill d: 15 May 1865 in Mt. Carmel, Wabash Co, Ill
Md #2 John A Muncy, Sr. b: 1835 in W Va m: 30 Dec 1866 in Wabash Co, Ill d: 08 Aug 1887 in Mansfield, Tarrant Co, Texas
Md #3 Solomon S McGuire b: 1827 in NC m: 29 Jun 1890 in Tarrant Co, Texas d: Bef. 1900 in Mansfield, Tarrant Co, Texas
Leonard Montgomery b: 18 Feb 1844 in Wabash Co, Ill d: 25 Nov 1861 in Camp Butler, Springfield, Ill--unmarried
Malinda Montgomery b: 10 Mar 1846 in Wabash Co, Ill d aft. 21 Jan 1862
Mary Ann Montgomery b: 16 Feb 1849 in Wabash Co, Ill md James Rodgers b: Abt. 1837 in Wabash Co, Ill md abt.1874 d 26 Oct 1879
Elizabeth Montgomery b: 18 Mar 1851 in Wabash Co, Ill d: 21 Feb 1852 in Wabash Co, Ill
Martha A Montgomery b: 24 Dec 1852 in Wabash Co, Ill md, William B Thompson b abt. 1845 in Ill m: 08 Aug 1867 in Wabash Co, Ill had a daughter Malinda b. 1868. (Martha may have married as #2)Richard Lafayette Gulick b: 02 Aug 1849 in Decatur, Macon Co, Ill m: 22 Sep 1870 in Macon Co, Ill d: 29 Nov 1916 in Macon Co, Ill
Elijah Montgomery b: 25 Feb 1856 in Wabash Co, Ill d aft. 04 Feb 1888
Any help or suggestions appreciated!!

Just wondered about your source for these birthdates. I am a researcher of Richland Co. IL and had this family in my database. I am positive that I am not a direct descendant of this family, but do all families in the area just to be sure. You can never tell who might be a cousin. Also have a number of Gaddy's, but nothing that goes as far back Elijah and Lydia. I take it by looking at the data that you are a descendant of Lucinda? My ancestor is Nathaniel b.1793 KY, the eldest son of William of PA who moved to NC and then KY. About 1810 the family was near Bowling Green KY. We are not sure of William's age or whether he was married previously

First of all, yes, Lucinda is my ancestor. Two of John & Elizabeth's sons (Leonard and William) died in the Civil War. Birthdates of children from affidavit by James Montgomery in a pension claim for death of brother, William Montgomery who died in Civil War. Affidavit states that dates came from Family Record. It also gives death dates of both parents. William was in Co. G 48 Ill Vols. Elijah Gaddy and Ezekiel Gaddy testified that they knew Elijah Montgomery (youngest child of John & Elizabeth) (Aug. 11, 1887) and That John Montgomery and Elizabeth Gaddy were married in 1830 in Wabash County, Illinois by George Knight, JP. The records of the marriage were destroyed by fire in 1858 in the burning of the courthouse.
By the way, I too am a searcher in Richland County--Clark, Richards, Parker, Bass, Gaddy, and McCoy. Did your Montgomery's settle in Richland County?

We believe that our Montgomery's are the same ones that are mentioned in the annuals of Kentucky in an indian attack near Boonesboro. This is based on the known fact that Mark Twain's (Samuel Langhorn Clemons) mother was descended from this group. There are letters that members of the family have which Samuel wrote to my Nathaniel's daughter in which he addresses her as My Dearest Cousin Susan. there is also correspondence from the Logan's who were also known to be related to this line. It is possible that Nathaniel's father William (both were actually named William Nathaniel Montgomery) was the brother of Samuel's Clemon's maternal grandmother, but we can't prove it completely. These Montgomery's came from Pennsylvania to North Carolina to Kentucky in the mid 1700's. From there groups go to Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama and Missouri. Mine married into the Bayse family who owned a landgrant in Missouri from the french before the Louisana Purchase and were able to get it recognized after, Nathaniel was born 1793 near Louisville KY, but several of the children were born near Bowling Green KY and at least one in Tennessee. By about 1808 they were near St Louis and at what would become Bowling Green, Pike Co., Missouri by 1815. Several lawsuit's were filed in the Probate Court's of early Illinois in which William and his wife were named, but we don't know how these Illinois Montgomery's were related. William died 1829 near Bowling Green MO. William's son John b.abt 1805 and daughter who married a Hudson lived near the border between Lewis and Clark Co. MO until the time of the Missouri Compromise. Being large slaveholders they moved to Caldwell Co. TX with the Quarel's, I might have misspelled that, who were descendant's of Mark Twain's mother's sister. Other Montgomery's earlier up the family line are known to have been the ones from whom Montgomery, AL takes it's name. I am hoping to take part in the Montgomery yDNA project to help prove the connections, but I'm at, I'll call it the end of the road Valdez, Alaska for the next year at least, so it will be a while before I get close enough to civilization to participate. We are about 300 driving miles from the nearest Mc'D or movie theatre. It's beautiful and has it's great points, especially in the summer, but without our highspeed internet connection I'd go nuts in the winter.

Wow, interesting family history. And wow on being in Alaska. I would love to take a cruise up that way but don't have any inclination to live there! It's great that you are doing the DNA thing. Do you know about Clan Montgomery? If not, go to
They have a great online database. It appears that your line is in there--at least the line of Samuel Clemons. Yours may be too. Also information on the Montgomery DNA project.

Bowling Green MO about 1830, you report as home to some of your ancestors. Might they have interacted with the Lewises, Meriwethers, Minors, and others, who bought a good many acreas of land and settled there (Eolia) in the spring of 1835?

The first Montgomery ancestor I know of was William (Nathaniel?) Montgomery who was born in PA and married Susannah Bayse in 1792 in Louisville KY. Her father had a landgrant in Missouri which included all the land around what is now Bowling Green. We suspect that they moved to that area around 1810. Their children who lived to adulthood all claim to have been born in KY. Their eldest son was my 4th greatgrandfather. He and his father were both named William. He was called Nathaniel. In the Bayse Family history it says that William and Susannah died childless, but it gives Williams birthdate as after he was married. The date is the same as that given on Nathaniel's headstone, as is the death date. Also family bibles which were handed down into the Henderson Family bear out these connections. Other families who married children of William and Susannah were those of Elijah Hudson, who married daughter Mary; Ravenscroft, the daughter of Thomas Ravenscroft, who married son John; Watson, the daughter of James Watson and first wife of Nathaniel; Martha Mitchell, the daughter of Willis Mitchell and 2nd wife of Nathaniel who was my 4th greatgrandmother. Except for the Watson marriage these all took place near Bowling Green in the mid 1820's to early 1830's. William died in Pike Co. in 1829 and his will was probated there. The son's moved to Clark Co. in the 1830's. Nathaniel died there in 1840. John and family along with the Hudson's moved to Caldwell Co. TX about 1850.

Perhaps your family sold their land grant acquired property to this family:
From Records of Lewis, Meriwether, and Kindred Families' by Davis, Art Craft Press, Columbia MO 1951: 'I am of the opinion that Walker Gilmer Meriwether and his brother Dr. Fontaine Meriwether came to Missouri while it was still a territory and lived on a portion of the immense tract of land they had purchased. The date given for their residence in Missouri Territory is 1819-1821. The reason given...was to properly authenticate their title to this land...(They) then returned to Virginia, and then returned to Missouri with their families in 1835.' These migrants settled on '50,000 acres of land...at that time located in Pike County.' 'In 1855, they built St. John's Episcopal Church at Prairieville, Eolia, Missouri.' (P9-10) Elsewhere, there is mention of family members settling in Pike county, the border of Pinke and Lincoln counties, and the Bowling Green area of MO.
There are good historians in that area; I'll quit dabbling, but I thought you might use this information.

This would seem to be correct. I am away from my home computer right now, but I know that Susannah Bayse's father sold the better part of their grant after the end of the War of 1812. I don't know the names of those who the land was sold to, but the parts that were still held by my family members in 1829 were closer to Lagrange on the northern edge of the county. William was buried in the Buffalo Cemetery which would have been located under what is now Lake Mark Twain on the Salt River. People have told me this cemetery was moved prior to the building of the lake in the 30's, but we have never been able to find out where it was moved to.
The Bayse's, including Susannah were very active in setting up the first Baptist church in the county. And Nathaniel Montgomery, the histories say, built the first courthouse.

The last day of qualification for the 20th Annual WyoTech Brute Horsepower Shootout got us geared up for the championships on Friday! One of our Unlimited Import entries (a 94 Kawasaki ZX11) actually hit over 528 horsepower today!
While we were at the Dyno complex on the WyoTech-Daytona campus, a student named Mark let us sneak a peek at one of the student projects: a fully customized WyoTech quad that was completely built by the students.
In the afternoon, we cruised down to Destination Daytona and Main Street where the streets and sidewalks are wall-to-wall packed full of booths, biker enthusiasts and sweet-looking rides.
Then we headed down to the Daytona International Speedway's Flat Track to watch some of the AMA Grand National Championship races.

Brass Appeal
French horn quartet fuses pop hits and classical training
By Sam Adams
Danielle Kuhlmann (aka Velvet Barbie) is one quarter of French horn quartet Genghis Barbie. Like the other members of her ensemble, she's a classically trained brass player who began her lessons in grade school. But rather than sticking to the traditional route of playing symphony halls and swanky tea-time luncheons, she and her bandmates decided to go pop.

A Higher Calling
New Mexico santeros and santeras on devotional folk art
By Lizzy von Stange
Saint-making is a devotional practice that tells the story of Catholic saints through retablos, panel paintings of saints, and bultos, hand-carved statues of saints. A talk on the subject at El Chante: Casa de Cultura on Saturday, Feb. 4., also features artwork from 14 New Mexican saint-makers in a show titled The Art of Devotion: Traditional and Contemporary.
Culture Shock
By Sam Adams
Five Years of 516
In the fall, 516 ARTS put out a call for New Mexicans to submit pieces that would serve as the face of the gallery's five-year anniversary show. Nearly 300 artists responded with an eclectic range of works. 516 Executive Director Suzanne Sbarge decided to put the judging process in the hands of renowned critic Peter Frank, after they met while Frank was in town on assignment. He operates out of L.A. as associate editor of Fabrik magazine and as a contributor to the Huffington Post. Frank may not be local, but he says he has a soft spot and deep regard for art from the Southwest. He whittled down the pool of entrants to about 80 works, with each artist represented by one piece. It's the largest group show 516 has put on to date, with talent representing more than 30 cities statewide.
EVENT HORIZON (Thursday, Dec 3)
Nutcracker on the Rocks
Opening with Tchaikovsky, the classic tale is re-imagined with a production filled with rock and roll hits by the Velvet Underground, Aretha Franklin and more.

Photos: Grading the Rangers' 11 biggest trades in the Jon Daniels era
Photo: G.J. McCarthy/Staff Photographer
LOOKING BACK AT THE 11 BIGGEST TRADES OF THE JON DANIELS ERA: Jon Daniels is now hailed as one of the young geniuses of Major League Baseball... but there wasn't always such a rosy outlook for the Rangers' GM. So when Kevin Sherrington wrote his in-depth analysis of the major deals of Daniels' career, it got us thinking about how his biggest deals look in hindsight. Here's a look back at 11 trades the Rangers have made under Jon Daniels, along with a grade for each. NOTE: Grades are SportsDayDFW's, not Kevin Sherrington's.

Which is Better?
10 comments:
Tough one, haven't seen all for either period but I say post 2000. If only because (at the risk of causing ire to many) I think Erin Brockovich is one of the best made films of the decade - for its genre, and generally. Directing wise I can't think of one false-note Soderbergh makes.ReplyDelete
Pre-2000. Big time. Just can't beat Out of Sight and Sex, Lies and Videotape. Man, I need to see The Limey again. Been way too long.ReplyDelete
That is tough considering that I haven't seen a lot of films by Soderbergh. I want to see his post-2000 since I'm familiar with a lot of those movies he made then. Yet, I can't judge it since I haven't seen a lot of his pre-2000 films. At least he gave me one of the best cinematic experiences ever with Che as I was lucky to see both parts at a roadshow presentation.ReplyDelete
@Andrew – I had no idea you were such a huge Brockovich fan. I enjoyed the movie but would not rank it in Soderbergh's top five personally. However I do think it is one of Julia Robert's best performances.ReplyDelete
@Aiden – I lean slightly towards the pre-2000 as well, though I really liked Solaris and some other post-2000 films. Yet the trio of Schizopolis, The Limey, and Out of Sight are what do it for me. Sex, Lies, & Videotape is good but it does not "wow" me the way it does most people.
@Limette – Ocean's Eleven is a good starting point, I would recommend you see Out of Sight, King of the Hill, and Traffic next. Then ease your way into his less mainstream works after that, you can always sprinkle in the other Ocean's films in between. While Schizopolis is hilarious I would not recommend jumping into that right away.
@Jack – Che was quite good! Though I really enjoyed the earlier years (aka part one) a lot more than the later years. Found that the pacing in the second half really slows down.
@thevoid – Did Soderbergh show up for the roadshow screening? I would have love to witness a Q&A session for that film.
Unfortunately, he was not present at that screening. Yet, I did receive a booklet with that screening. There weren't a lot of people there anyways when I went to see it. At least we all liked it.ReplyDelete
I haven't seen all of either, but I like most of what I see from Soderbergh. That said, despite my love for the Ocean's trilogy...where Out of Sight goes, so go I.ReplyDelete

November 26, 2015
Last month could go down as one of the dryest June's on recent record. Leaving some local farmers and ranchers trying to hold on for damper days.
One local cattle rancher says the business is harder than ever right now.
"We just haven't been that lucky,"Rancher Sammy Catalena said.
You've heard the saying the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but just about a mile down the road from Catalena's Kurten ranch, it really is.
"He called me when it was raining, a friend of mine down the road, and said I guess you're getting this rain. 'I said what rain?'. And before it was over, he got about three inches and we didn't get any," Catalena said.
The dry conditions are enough to not only singe each blade of grass, but the well is also running dry for drinking water for more than three hundred cattle.
"If the dry weather continues, it'll be a matter of time we'll have to start moving some livestock around again," Catalena said.
Combine that with staggering prices of the three F's: feed, fuel, and fertilizer, and the lack of rain is just one more problem for ranchers.
"In the past when these kind if things happened you could always see a little light at the end of the tunnel and think maybe we're going to get there and it's going to be ok," Catalena said. "But at this point we don't see any light at the end of the tunnel."
Without seeing an end in sight, Catalena says he's been cutting back wherever he can. For example, this year he's already only been able to use a fraction of the amount of fertilizer he used last year. That's because he says without the guarantee of rain he just can't afford it.
But despite all the setbacks for ranchers this year, Catalena says he's in it for the long haul.

In Evanston, Ill., Davidson notes, a guy described as a "serial restaurant entrepreneur" Mitch Dulin opened a shop called "Central Street Café" last summer. Dulin jumped in to his new venture, according to Davidson, largely because his instincts told him that the local economy was improving, and, so he reasoned, if he had waited much longer then the rock-bottom lease rates that were available would likely begin to rise. "I saw things getting better," Dulin was quoted as saying, and "if I were to wait a year, the lease would cost me 20% more." Imagine that – without direction from Harry Reid or Barack Obama, Mr. Dulin sought to use his money wisely – and his pursuit of wisdom led to business expansion.
But wait, there's more! As Davidson reports, "Dulin says he paid cash for the renovation of the space — at a cost of $500,000 to $1 million — and (he) might not have gone ahead with the project if he had needed to get a loan." Uh-oh! Looks like we found a unicorn here! Mitch Dulin had hundreds of thousands of his own dollars to spend on his own business start-up, which likely qualifies him as one of those dastardly "millionaires" from whom Harry Reid wants to confiscate more money. And Dulin's new restaurant employs 14 fulltime workers, all of which were previously employed.
Elsewhere in Davidson's article we learn of "Nurse Next Door," a franchised in-home healthcare business based in Canada. The company was moving ahead with plans to expand in the United States, but then stopped last summer when the Congress and the President raised our government debt ceiling higher and our government debt was downgraded. "NND" has since begun moving again on their expansion plans, but the point remains clear: as Senator Reid and President Obama play short-term political war games with our nation's fiscal and monetary matters, real-life "unicorns" are operating in the real world, trying to make prudent decisions with their capital. The more punishment that Reid and Obama dole-out to the money people, the more likely the money people are going to simply hold on to what they've got, and not risk and invest.
As Senator Reid and President Obama continue with their gamesmanship, America remains starved for sound fiscal and economic policies. How much longer can the "unicorns" last with them?

Bolgen Vargas, superintendent of the Rochester school district.
- Filed Under
New Common Core test scores released this week show that if New York's schools have anything in common, it's under-performance. That's especially true in urban districts - and nowhere more so than Rochester, which posted worst-in-the-state, single-digit scores: Fewer than 6 percent of students in third through eighth grades were deemed proficient in math and English.
There are a number of ways to characterize such dispiriting results:
? They are an impetus: There are 10 candidates currently campaigning for the Democratic endorsement for three open positions this fall on the city school board. District residents - indeed, members of the community at large - must make a point of acquainting themselves with the candidates and their positions. (The candidates have been invited to comment on the Common Core results in essays to appear on Sunday's Speaking Out page.)
? They are an opportunity: While Rochester is at rock bottom, only 31 percent of students statewide were deemed proficient in math and English, and even in Monroe's affluent suburban districts more than one-third of students - sometimes much more than one-third - fell short of proficiency. Now that the new standards have provided a consistent benchmark, hard work must commence.
? They are a crisis: A community that commendably rallied against injustice in the wake of the shooting death of an unarmed teenager in Florida must similarly rally against the injustice of a school system that is failing its own young ones. If Rochester's city schools are in crisis - and, clearly, they are - taxpayers, parents and community leaders must respond in kind. That means partnering with the district in ways big and small, and working to support and encourage parents in valuing education and insisting their children participate fully.
This page will offer additional ideas on Sunday. The crisis of Rochester's failing schools must be solved.

Revision as of 10:55, 9 January 2012
1995-01-07 Wilfredo Vazquez w pts 12 Orlando Canizales, Freeman Coliseum, San Antonio, Texas, USA - WBA. Referee: Rafael Ramos. Scorecards: 115-113, 116-115, 113-117. A tactical contest from the start, the champion's reach advantage was the main difference between the pair, but with so many punches being blocked it became a difficult fight to score. Although Canizales (121½), cut on the left eye in the sixth round, was faster and posed various problems Vazquez (122) was marginally more effective, especially with his counterpunching. At the final bell both men thought they had won, it was that close, but the fact that Canizales had several attempts in making the weight and had little success with his power punching obviously counted against him.

Just days after the storm hit, I was there on the ground visiting affected people with our emergency response teams. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was to witness - the warm, festering smells; the brown, damp rubble strewn as far as the eye could see; the body bags lying in the streets and the desperation in peoples' faces.
For once fusion means exactly what it says - bring some of Spain's most renowned Michelin-starred chefs to Manila, the Philippines capital, mix with local chefs and ingredients, and the splendid result is Madrid Fusion Manila's three day event of master classes, presentations, tastings and pop-up dinners.
We've all heard of those grand Chinese banquets with innumerable courses including delicacies like sea slugs and bird's nests, but at Madrid Fusion this year I caught a glimpse of the future. Goods from China dominate our shops but my suspicion is that Chinese food is going to take over our restaurant menus - and I don't mean chop suey and egg fried rice.
Just over one year ago a storm of epic proportions devastated the Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan, thought to be strongest storm to ever make landfall, took the lives of more than 6,200 people and affected over 14 million people across 44 provinces. This included some 5 million children, out of which 1.7 million were displaced. A matter of weeks after Haiyan had wreaked havoc across the country I went to visit the affected areas on behalf of Plan International. Driving out of Tacloban airport, the scenes left an indelible and vivid impression.
For the few that fight against another Haiyan happening, hope and current action is not enough. More than offering help to the people of the Philippines, thre is a need to call for justice. If we don't have the will to fight for justice, we must at least lend a voice to all those like Yeb Sano, who do fight. Because just like poverty, restoring hope to natural calamity victims cannot be an act of charity, it must be an act of justice.
Cebu City is uncharacteristic of the white sand and crystal clear waters experience that otherwise dominates one's idea of the Philippines. From the Cebu International Airport it sprawls, though relatively compact in size, as an urban metropolis that contrasts with the smaller more rural or seaside towns.
This is not just a humanitarian imperative; it is in all our interests to act. In the globalised 21st Century conflicts are not easily contained by borders. As the Stern Review made clear, tackling climate change will ultimately be cheaper than allowing it to proceed unchecked. But it is the human cost of these crises, the children of Gaza, the homeless Philippines and the South Sudanese families who do not know where their next meal is coming from that really demand our action. The UK public have shown they are up to the task; it is time for world leaders to do likewise.
This week, the British Red Cross is launching a long-term recovery programme in the Philippines as the disaster-prone country continues to recover from super-storm Haiyan and braces itself for the onslaught of this year's typhoon season. But as we mark six months since the typhoon hit, many organisations specialising in emergency response are leaving and the levels of support have dwindled, even though the needs remain immense.

When I took it to get charge I told them what I did. The tech, ask me if that was the only thing I replaced.

Its a good idea to replace the expansion valve and the receiver drier was the compressor leaking or had internal problems.
You will need a filter if the compressor failed internally to catch old pieces of the compressor. If the clutch went bad or it was just leaking you won't need a filter

Alice Rios
Alice co-anchors the KRLD Morning News, from 5-10a weekdays, with Mike Rogers and Scott Sams.
She began working in radio while attending Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, working first as a music jock at KTBQ, then as a reporter at KJCS in East Texas. From there she multi-tasked at KTSR/WTAW in Bryan-College Station as the sole reporter/news anchor.
As a nearly 25-year member of the KRLD News team, Alice has been honored over the years with "Best Anchor Team" , "Best Spot News" and "Breaking News" awards. Among the numerous historic events she's covered while at KRLD, Alice was in the newsroom the day David Koresh of the Branch Davidians phoned in from the Waco compound. She reported on the Shuttle Columbia tragedy over East Texas, the events of 9-11, anchored coverage of the Fort Hood massacre, as well as the deadly explosion in West, TX.
Alice's truest passions are the two men in her life. First, she is mom to Lee…a sports enthusiast attending Texas State University majoring in Criminal Justice (…for now! Check back with me in a few years to see if his major has changed). Alice's husband Brian is a special-ed elementary school teacher in DFW, counting the days down to the minute to retirement.
In her spare time, Alice enjoys texting her son at least 3 times a day. As a softball and tennis enthusiast she's determined to master the game of golf. She also loves to travel -whatever the destination. Her favorite "bang for the buck" destination is Cozumel, having been nearly 10 summers in a row. She also enjoys the nightlife in Sundance Square and loves to try new restaurants in Tarrant County. Suggestions? Shoot her an email or tweet!
