Apart from the odd glass of Jameson's at corner Irish bars which don't look like they could make a passable cocktail, I've managed to ignore Irish whiskey pretty successfully for most of my drinking life. And really, it wasn't the whiskey, it was me. "It's kind of like Scotch whisky, I'd always hear when I asked about it, "but, um, lighter." Wow -- doesn't sound too thrilling. "But it's really easy to drink!" Well, yeah, a glass of water also goes down easier than a dram of Laphroaig, but that doesn't exactly quicken my pulse either.
I wasn't a full-fledged Irish whiskey denier, but I was pretty close. "Well, it's good," I'd think whenever circumstances forced me to try some, "but it's not good like Scotch is good." But once I saw that, according to the Distilled Spirits Council, Irish whiskey was the fastest-growing spirits category in the US last year, I figured I'd better bite the bullet and drink the Bushmills. And the Redbreast, and the Jameson's, and all the other brands that have been catching on Stateside as of late. After trying a bunch of them, I came to realize that most Irish whiskey really isn't good like Scotch is good. But of course it's not supposed to be. And it's still good -- at times astoundingly so.
Now, this is by no means a comprehensive overview of Irish whiskey -- it'd be tough to do that with a mere seven brands. And my Irish education is just beginning. But with six months to go until St. Patrick's Day, there's plenty of time for more "research." In the meantime, I hope you seek out and try at least a couple of the whiskeys reviewed below -- and post in the Comments section about any of your favorites that I didn't mention. Slainte!
BUSHMILLS BLACK BUSH (40% ABV, age not stated, $30). Bushmills is one of the best-known Irish whiskeys around, and it's usually the brand most bars stock after Jameson's. I like standard Bushmills just fine, so I figured I'd upgrade a little and try the fancier-shmancier Black Bush. Like many other whiskeys, Irish and otherwise, Black Bush has been finished in Oloroso sherry casks, giving it a distinctive fruity flavor. I don't know how they do it with this brand, but it tastes a little like sherry overkill to me; such rich, raisin-y flavors just don't appeal to me unless I'm actually, you know, drinking sherry. There's also a good deal of earthy and woody flavor, especially on the back end, with a moderate amount of spice that gives it a bit more kick than many of its Irish counterparts. Not my thing, but that's not to say it won't be yours.
CONCANNON (40% ABV, aged 4 years, $25). Concannon is known for its wines, not its Irish whiskey. But hey, when you've got a market growing by leaps and bounds the way Irish is, well, you jump on in. Strictly speaking, this isn't really a Concannon whiskey -- it actually comes from the legendary Cooley distillery, which makes a good percentage of the Irish whiskeys on the market today. Cooley ages this one in used bourbon barrels for four years, and then -- here's where Concannon comes in -- finishes it for another four months, in barrels that have been used to age Concannon's own Petite Sirah wine. The vino adds a burst of rich floral and berry notes up front, and a smooth, buttery mouth feel as it glides to the back of the tongue, leaving behind a moderate alcoholic tingle and a clean, lingering finish. This is a lovely, gentle wisp of a whiskey -- quite a romantic little dram in a weird way. Drink it with the one you love and see if you don't agree.
JAMESON BLACK BARREL SELECT RESERVE (40% ABV, aged up to 12 years, $40). Anyone with a liver and a passing interest in Irish whiskey has probably tried standard Jameson's. But there are plenty of variations on the flagship brand, bottled at different ages and finished using various methods. The latest, Black Barrel Select Reserve, is a whole 'nuther animal from the standard bottling. It's been aged twice as long (12 years as opposed to 5-7), for one thing, in both used bourbon and used sherry barrels. The result is a rich and fruity whiskey, with flavors of raisins and marmalade balanced out by earthy, woody notes, with just a little heat on the finish. This isn't the Jameson's you know and love, but it's a new romance waiting to happen.
KILBEGGAN (40% ABV, age not stated, $20). If you don't know a whole lot about Irish whiskey, this blended brand is a good, inexpensive place to start. Kilbeggan has been in business since 1757, although it was defunct for several decades in the 20th century. Despite its long history, it's still not well known outside Ireland. Perhaps it's because it's not particularly flashy or complex, but damn, this is really nice -- like a textbook definition of what Irish whiskey is supposed to be. Kilbeggan is light, with notes of vanilla, caramel and almond along with some malt, and a dry, grainy finish. It's perfect for mixing or as an everyday dram. It won't change your life, but it'll definitely brighten your belly-up-to-the-bar time. Simple, unpretentious, and very enjoyable.
MICHAEL COLLINS SINGLE MALT 10 YEAR OLD (40% ABV, aged at least 10 years, $40). One of the first things I learned about how Irish whiskey differs from Scotch whisky (apart from the spelling) was that Irish is generally distilled three times, whereas Scotch is distilled twice, giving Irish a somewhat lighter flavor. OK, I thought, I know the ground rules now. And then along comes Michael Collins, which is not only distilled a mere two times but also contains peated malt -- something you'll commonly find in Scotch but hardly ever in Irish. My first sip convinced me there's still a difference; it hit the front of my tongue with a light vanilla/honey sweetness, and I thought, yup, that's Irish whiskey. But once it hit mid-palate, it fairly exploded with peppery spice and dry peat/smoke notes. It mellowed out on the finish, with tobacco and maybe a wee hint of mint. Does it taste like a Scotch whisky? Well, kind of. But much more importantly, does it taste good? The answer is an unequivocal yes.
REDBREAST 12 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH (57.7%, aged at least 12 years, $60). OK, all you Irish whiskey naysayers, get in line and get a taste of this baby -- I challenge you not to be impressed, or even dazzled. Redbreast 12-year is a single pot still whiskey, which means it has both malted and unmalted barley (Scotch only has malted). It's got a rich, fruity nose, and a whole mouthful of flavor -- wood, dark berries, spices, cereal -- that just keeps unfolding and evolving from sip to sip. If Irish whiskey is supposed to be "easier" than Scotch, then this puts lie to the myth. A complex, challenging and delicious whiskey that's earned the many kudos it's received.
TULLAMORE DEW (40% ABV, age not stated, $20). Like Kilbeggan, this is your basic, no-frills Irish whiskey, with a price to match. I've read some pretty harsh reviews of the Dew, but I have a soft spot for it in my heart, since I remember seeing it in my parents' liquor cabinet back when I was an impressionable young sprog, and for a long time it was the only Irish whiskey I'd ever heard of. Being as objective as possible, I really don't think it's that bad. All the familiar notes of vanilla, honey, caramel and grain are there, along with a little ripe pear and banana, and the result is thoroughly pleasant. If you want something a little more refined under the Tullamore Dew banner, give their 10-year or 12-year-old bottlings a shot. If you just want something simple, cheap, and quaffable, you could definitely do worse.

Hi All,
I have for sale a Bessa R in Silver with a 35 Elmar. Body is in excellent shape and everything works 100%. Lens in is good shape and it pretty clean and clear for a lens of this vintage. Might be a tiny bit of haze but the images are excellent IMHO. Lens is cosmetically ok, the brass is visible around the mounting ring and somewhere along the line the infinity lock was removed. I've included some images taken with this combo below. They were shot on XP2 and processed/scanned by a local CVS. I bought this for my wife to try an RF and she doesn't care for it so I'd like to more it along to a new home. This is a great combo to try an RF with and not break the bank.
I would prefer to sell as a combo but will break up as long as the lens sells first.
Asking $435 shipped in the US. Foreign please PM for shipping quote.
I also have for sale a good condition Leica Z2X Point and Shoot. It has a 35-70mm zoom and I've shot a few rolls with it and they came out fine.
Asking $45 shipped in the US. Due to shipping cost I'd prefer this one to be a US only sale. But if you are overseas and are willing to pay the shipping I'm glad to send it.
Buy the Bessa R combo and you can have to Z2X for $10!
The fine print:
All items are sold AS-IS, no returns. I make every effort to give you an accurate description and am happy to answer questions via PM or email. Mr. Momming little kids 3 nights a week and most weekends don't make phone calls possible so PM or email it must be. I prefer Paypal and would appreciate it being sent as a gift, but that is solely up to the buyer if they want to do that or not. Shipping will be USPS Priority with full insurance. Please feel free to check out my eBay feedback under jmooney776 and RFF as jmooney.

Everyone knows that businesses are investing heavily in public and private cloud computing these days, as well as hybrid cloud solutions that combine elements of both. Why they're investing in one of those deployment models versus the others, however, is somewhat murkier. Thankfully, a recent IDG Research poll of senior IT executives at companies with 1,000 or more employees sheds interesting light on that topic in ways that hint at what technology decision-makers see as each major cloud deployment option's chief strength.
For example, 72 percent of poll respondents cited rapid scalability as a motivation for their public cloud investments, while 67 percent and 57 percent respectively cited enhanced agility and faster time-to-market. All three figures suggest that IT leaders closely associate public cloud computing, which frees companies from the time-consuming burdens of installing and maintaining hardware, with speed.
Technology managers appear to associate private cloud computing primarily with efficiency, by contrast, as improved ability to pool IT resources was the top private cloud investment driver cited by survey participants. Private clouds do indeed promote server and workload consolidation through extensive use of virtualization, saving companies time, money, and valuable data center floor space.
Finally, IT execs evidently view hybrid cloud computing, appropriately enough, as a way to increase both speed and efficiency: while quick scalability was the number one inspiration for hybrid cloud purchases among executives surveyed, pooling IT resources and agility tied for number two and lower operational expenses came in a close third.
Of course, businesses won't collect the benefits associated with any of the three major cloud deployment models if they manage their cloud-based assets as a collection of separate siloes. Selecting among the public, private, and hybrid approaches should therefore be part of a larger strategic planning process aimed at ensuring you have the tools and partner relationships you need to deploy and manage a truly integrated environment that seamlessly converges cloud and on-premises solutions.
Both the IDG Research study and a white paper describing its results are available elsewhere on this site. Also, be sure to visit the Cloud Knowledge Vault.

Spitzer conceded the rendezvous, claiming he was curious to explore a chance for peace. Unlike Schroeder, he says, he doesn't believe in "nonstop, take-no-prisoners" personal warfare. In his view, public employees should solve problems—not use their positions to settle personal scores.
"Here's the bottom line," said Spitzer. "If they told me I could go back [to the DA's office] today, I'd be there in a heartbeat. I love that office—I really love it. Plenty of prosecutors have left and become defense lawyers. That's not for me. I can't do that. I'm a prosecutor at heart. It's in my blood, and I'm not going to lie: I want to be DA."
It wasn't easy for Spitzer to come clean. He's an ambitious politician with undeniable skills, and anti-Rackauckas/anti-Schroeder forces desperately have wanted him as their unblemished warrior. To that crowd, his periodic dalliances with the Schroeders and Rackauckas understandably cause suspicion, if not outright alienation.
But Spitzer's startling admission that he'd gladly return to the Rackauckas regime he has helped to taint is also oddly freeing. He no longer has to pretend he's perfect, and he can blame a vicious, booby-trapped environment. In his mind, self-protective maneuverings—the infamous flip-flops—are necessary if he's ever going to become the excellent DA he foresees.
Afterward, I asked Schroeder to play for me Spitzer's incriminating voice-mail message to Rackauckas.
"We don't have it," she said. "It was erased. I wanted Todd to think we'd kept it so that he'd be honest with you."

London Office Developers Drop as Morgan Stanley Downgrades
U.K. office developers led by Great Portland Estates Plc declined in London trading after Morgan Stanley cut its ratings for the companies.
Great Portland fell as much as 5.5 percent to 331.40 pence, the lowest since Dec. 1, 2010. Derwent London Plc dropped as much as 4.1 percent, while British Land Co. declined 3.5 percent and Land Securities Group Plc lost 2.5 percent.
Land Securities, the country's largest real estate investment trust by market value, and British Land were downgraded to "underweight" from "overweight," Morgan Stanley said in a note to investors today. Great Portland, which focuses on office space in London's West End, and Derwent London were cut to "equal-weight" from "overweight."
"What is significantly negative in our view is that most of the main U.K. REITs have sizeable development pipelines, most of which is committed and speculative," a team at Morgan Stanley wrote in a note to investors today. "We think the likelihood of leasing up some of these schemes is declining."
In July, U.K. commercial real-estate values rose at the slowest pace since the market started recovering from a slump two years ago. All the developers except British Land were downgraded by Bank of America Corp. Global Research earlier this month.
Land Securities was up 8.5 pence at 736.5 pence and Great Portland rose 6 pence to 361.6 pence as of the 4:30 p.m. close of London trading. British Land fell 5 pence to 539 pence and Derwent London declined 3 pence to 1,547 pence.

Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and golfer Rory McIlroy revealed their budding romance earlier this summer with flirtatious tweets. The next step? Twitter pictures of their gift exchanges. McIlroy, the reigning U.S. Open champion, gave the WTA's top-ranked player a 60-degree wedge inscribed with the couple's nickname: WOZZILROY. She tweeted a picture of the club before divulging on Twitter that she asked Yonex to customize rackets for McIlroy.

With a 6-19 September record entering play on Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox are guaranteed to finish with the worst record after Aug. 31 ever by a team that began the month of September in first place (not including a potential one-game playoff). The previous record was set by the 1996 Houston Astros, who went 8-17 (.320) after Aug. 31, according to Stats LLC.

Boris Johnson throws weight behind new Thames Estuary airport
London Mayor Boris Johnson has today urged the government to 'grasp the nettle', claiming an all-new airport hub in the Thames Estuary was essential to 'ward off economic paralysis''
The 100 page report outlines the economic argument for greater aviation capacity for both London and the UK, and concludes that developing a hub airport outside the south east would be unworkable.
However, despite rumours that Foster + Partners' self-funded vision for a Super Hub airport on the Isle of Grain in the Thames Estuary has already won key Treasury support, Johnson stopped short of endorsing any one particular site or scheme.
Without a new airport the UK would lose its place at the top of the global economy
According to Johnson's report the UK's only 'hub airport' - Heathrow - is running at 98 per cent of its capacity and is unable to provide further services to new rising growth markets in the Middle East, China and South America. European airports providing these services are shifting business away from the UK.
The research adds: 'Heathrow currently offers just 9,000 seats per week to mainland China and it only serves two routes. By contrast Frankfurt offers almost twice the number of seats and serves four destinations, while Amsterdam already offers flights to six Chinese destinations. London remains without any direction connection to 12 cities in mainland China that are expected to be among the 25 global mega cities with the highest GDP in the world by 2025.'
Johnson, said: 'The global economic geography is shifting and distant cities are rocketing up the league tables of global trade. The old order is passing however our airports are unable to serve the young bucks that are set to drive the world forward.'
'In the next 15 years 75 million Chinese households will enter the middle classes. It is a phenomenal market and we need our engineers to be able to hop on a plane and build their infrastructure. We need their business leaders to fly in and consult with our contract lawyers. However their business is already being snaffled up by our friends on the continent who chortle at our continued inertia.'

Good Afternoon, Sherrie,
I'll second the comments above. Since you're using a Beseler, you have a real advantage over some other enlargers: the carriers are simple and flat so they can be made of almost anything which is sturdy enough to hold the negatives and is workable with easily available tools.
I've found that 1/8" tempered Masonite works very well. It's cheap, usually available in small two by two foot sheets at home centers, and is easily sawed and drilled by common wood-working tools. Be sure to get the tempered kind, because the standard kind leaves rough, "fuzzy" edges when cut and drilled.
All that said, it may be almost as economical to do as Jeanette suggests and pick up used carriers from E-Bay; there are usually various Beseler carriers listed, and, like other darkroom equipment, they often go for bargain prices.

ever since a large pimple on my cheek left me with a pigmentation scar i have been looking for something to lighten it. i was really mad at getting the scar as prior to that my skin was pretty much fully clear and no coverage was required day to day. i stumbled upon the usage of lemon juice here and decided to give it a go. for reference i use the bottled stuff as i cannot be bothered to squeeze a lemon daily (i mean c'mon, im lazy as hell) and although my scar has been lightened somewhat (i have been using this for a month now and really the lightening speed is sorta slow), the biggest difference i have noticed is that i didnt get anybreak out this month around that time of the month ( i used to get break outs all the time around then).i use my lemon juice in place of a toner and yeah, hopefully i will get rid of that damn scar soon lol

So I have used this about 4 different times on separate occasions over the last couple months. Just sorta randomly when i thought of it and had lemon on hand. The way i use it is i cut a quarter from the lemon and squeeze as much juice as i can into a little bowl and then completely soak a cotton pad and run it across my face for about 5 minutes or until it stops stinging, I might even dip it again and go over my face again. First it does definitely stings its lemon juice but it doesn't burn (redden and heat) like other acids or like benzoyl peroxide would, As for the results? they are pretty great for a product this natural and this cheap. I definitely notice my skin looks a little brighter and clearer the next day but I find its more of a difference in feel. The next morning my skin feels so smooth and tiny little bumps are totally smoothed out. My skin will also feel incredibly balanced like not oily, not to0 supple/ water logged and not to dry or tight. It just feels normal, soft but matte. I do however find that gylcolic acid peels give the same feeling and seem to do more for the look of my skin, marks, clarity and such. However If you really want to save money this is definitely, definitely the way to go as the results are very comparable. However I am trying to think of a way to work this into my routine for the vitamin c. (I use ether a mild bha, aha, or retinoid product about 5 nights a week alternating between them and then use a higher potency peel about once a week )
Age: 36-43

So after reading this section and thinking vit C serum is ridiculously expensive, I decided to give it a try. I used full strength lemon juice (from a lemon, 39 cents each) on my face, neck, chest and arms. Oh, the ouch factor is there! But it quit after about 15 min. I left it on over night under my moisturizer and stuck to my pillow a bit. It did a nice mild peel and I'm none the worse for wear. I want to keep some brown spots at bay that have recently showed up so I will keep using, but maybe a bit diluted. Will post an update.
PS. someone wrote they have a lemon tree in their back yard, W"OW! I'm from Canada and we're buried in snow at the moment :)

not to be disrespectful in anyway to the prior reviewers here but i just had to giggle a little reading these. i've been using lemon juice both on my face and on my nails for years with great results. my grandmother did the same thing since i can remember., she always had beautiful natural white nails and great skin.
s@rew buying that $120.00 jar of overpriced, overhyped, fix everything that's wrong with your skin crap cream that never delivers at the cosmetic counter. they can keep it for the next sucker. i'll be getting mine at the grocery store.

Gee whizzzzz..... that's just a miracle. I am actually writing this after I was applying the lemon juice cca for 1 hour or 2...
I woke today and I nearly passed out when I saw myself in a mirror - there was a pimple of course. Not a really big one, but still...I go mad every time I break out. So I decided to use a pure lemon juice, which I applied with a cotton pad. And now, in the early afternoon, the pimple's almost gone. It' still a bit noticeable that the surface is not perfectly even, but all the redness has disappeared and I don't even need a concealer.
Great job indeed.
I'm planning to use lemon juice as a toner before I go to bed, maybe it will help with my acne scars (they're not so bad, but I want my skin tone to be more even though).
I'll update when I see the results or if anything goes wrong.
UPDATE: It works, that's true, but it's not such a miracle I thought it was. Overall it's a good alternative to some effective and expensive treatments. Nevertheless, I can't help but mention that it IS quite harsh indeed.

I was searching for a toner here to buy and stumbled across lemon juice as an option.
I thought "why not, it's not like I'm going to waste quite a bit of money on a product that isn't going to work".
Just a bit of background on my skin. I'm 30 and have combination skin, oily t-zone with blackheads on my nose and have acne troubles since highschool. I have some acne depressed scars. I still get the occasional cyst acne and those pesky small underskin pimples that don't always come to a head but sit there for sometimes 2 months or more arrghhh!!!
I've made my own lemon toner concoction of 1/3 strong green tea, 2/3 lemon juice and a few drops of tea tree oil and use it every night. In the 2 months my skin looks clearer, I haven't had a cyst pimple in a while (oh gosh now that I've typed that I hope one doesn't come up, fingers crossed!) and the texture of my skin seems smoother and looks more radiant.
I keep my toner in the fridge as I think it will keep the vitamins more potent and it feels refreshing when I put it on my skin.
I still get blackheads and some of my scars are still there. I'm thinking my next batch might have more lemon juice in it.
I'm very happy with the results so far and I'm hopeful that my skin will get better the longer I use it.

I have been using lemon off and on for over a year now as my toner in the evenings after cleansing and I can REALLY notice a difference when I get lazy and stop using it. It really cuts down on my acne and it is super duper cheap!! This might sting at first, but the small sting is definitely worth the pay off :-) Here are a couple of tips:
1. Buy a few small lemons (you only use a small amount at a time so the smaller the better as they tend to only last 5-7 days after they are cut into)
2. Roll the lemon on the counter before cutting into it, this will release some of the juices inside the lemon and make it juicer
3. I cut my lemon in half and use one small section at a time, I put a cotton ball right into the section and press down to get the ball wet
4. Store your lemon on a tupperware container and it **should** last 5-7 days
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
works great as a toner. helps clear acne, reduces oil, unclogs pores, helps w/ blkheads and overall brightens the skin. It does take time for lemon juice to hit its full potential, its not a 10 minute miracle. Also it does sting the first few minutes but goes away after, dilute w/ water depending on how sensitive you skin is.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
No matter how I try to dilute this +use lemon juice as a toner, my skin turns horribly red and sensitive. I would not suggest using this topically on skin for those who have sensitive skin, do a patch test, if you are not sure. Despite its benefits, my skin just cannot tolerate lemon juice...too bad.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I've been using lemon juice for about a week now. I heard that it fades post acne spots, i have a few of them. So far I havent really noticed a difference. I'll give it a couple more weeks though. But what I have noticed is that my skin is less oily in my t-zone which is great! And my blackheads have been disappearing.. love it! I wash my face with St Ives green tea ance cleanser (amazing and dirt cheap). Then i put lemon juice on a cotton ball and apply it all over my face. Then I use Garnier skin renew serum. My skin has never been clearer. Now i just need something to fade my acne spots! Any suggestions??

The killing of al-Awlaki and the others was without any due process whatsoever, and that should terrify all Americans. The federal government has not claimed the lawful power to kill Americans without due process since the Civil War; even then, the power to kill was claimed only in actual combat. Al-Awlaki and his son were killed while they were driving in a car in the desert. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the Constitution applies in war and in peace. Even the Nazi soldiers and sailors who were arrested in Amagansett, N.Y., and in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., during World War II were entitled to a trial.
The legal authority in which Holder claimed to find support was the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), which was enacted by Congress in the days following 9/11. That statute permits the president to use force to repel those who planned and plotted 9/11 and who continue to plan and plot the use of terror tactics to assault the United States. Holder argued in his speech that arresting al-Awlaki -- who has never been indicted or otherwise charged with a crime but who is believed to have encouraged terrorist attacks in the U.S. -- would have been impractical, that killing him was the only option available to prevent him from committing more harm, and that Congress must have contemplated that when it enacted the AUMF.
Even if Holder is correct -- that Congress contemplated presidential killing of Americans without due process when it enacted the AUMF -- such a delegation of power is not Congress' to give. Congress is governed by the same Constitution that restrains the president. It can no more authorize the president to avoid due process than it can authorize him to extend his term in office beyond four years.
Instead of presenting evidence of al-Awlaki's alleged crimes to a grand jury and seeking an indictment and an arrest and a trial, the president presented the evidence to a small group of unnamed advisers, and then he secretly decided that al-Awlaki was such an imminent threat to America 10,000 miles away that he had to be killed. This is logic more worthy of Joseph Stalin than Thomas Jefferson. It effectively says that the president is above the Constitution and the rule of law, and that he can reject his oath to uphold both.
If the president can kill an American in Yemen, can he do so in Peoria? Even the British king, from whose tyrannical grasp the American colonists seceded, did not claim such powers. And we fought a Revolution against him.

The Murcia region
When it comes to beaches the Costa Calida has a lot to offer. Virtually all of the beaches along the Coast are blue flag rated, & there are a lot of them.The vast majority is sandy beaches, but there are pebbled beaches & rocky alcoves for those who prefer to indulge in a spot of snorkeling. Los Alcazares is the nearest beach resort which sits on the edge of the Mar Menor (small sea) with its wide, quiet and safe beaches ideal for all the family.
Murcia (MJV) is the closest airport and is less than 7 miles from the villa (the resort is NOT on the flight path). Murcia airport is served by Southampton, Gatwick, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Manchester, East Midlands, Stansted and many other UK and European airports. Alternatively Alicante airport is just under an
hour by car.We would recommend that you hire a car to help explore this lovely-unspoilt region (holiday autos is a good web-site for the cheapest hire).
Mar Menor Golf Resort
The resort includes a 9-hole golf course (soon to be 18), social facilities (owners club - luxury heated pool, bar, restaurant, hairdresser, gym, tennis court and supermarket) and an intercontinental 5 Star hotel that are all just a short walk.
There is a 9-hole golf course (soon to be 18) on the resort and many other golf resorts in the region (Mosa Trajectum, La Finca,VillaMartin, Las Ramblas, Campoamor and La Manga (3 championship courses at La Manga) all within a 20-minute drive.Torre Pacheco Golf Club (9 hole par 3) is situated only 5 minutes away and at 25 Euro all day is great value for money.
The local area also offers a whole range of activities including cycling, hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, hunting, water rafting, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, water skiing, fishing and bird watching. Some of the best diving in Europe is to be experienced off Cabo de Palos.The national park of the Sierra Espuna is only one hour away offering good walking, mountain biking and climbing for the more energetic.

"Evrything 1st Class"
We spent 18 nights at Paul's villa, and we all would have happily spent 18 more. The villa has everything you would need, and more, to make a great family holiday. We barely even used the Social Club or the Hotel Pool as the kids were so happy with the pool and garden in the villa. Nothing nicer than spending the day in and out of the pool, and then being able to move up to the sun-trap of a balcony and enjoy the hot tub, a glass of wine and the sun-set As an added bonus for all sports fans, particularly during the British Lions tour, the house even had Sky Sports The house is a credit to its owners, and its location is the best on the resort - Calla Aroma - a minutes walk to shop, gym, hotel, bars, social club etc.

"Loverly Villa"
Great Villa and fantastic large Pool. The Villa is placed well for all the things you need on a daily basis, all no more than 5 mins walk. ie Shop, Hotel, Golf Club. There are also quite a few places to eat which are also in walking distance (about 10 mins) Spa Tub was used on a Daily basis. We have been to the resort before and this is among one of the Better Villas on the complex. Booking was easy and Paul was very quick at answering any questions/queries we had. Thank you for letting us stay!!

"The relaxing holiday we were after"
From the outset the villa was easy to locate and we noted how close the supermarket and bars were!! The villa itself was clean and spacious with the added luxury of the hot tub. The pool unfortunately was a bit too cold for me but the husband managed to dip in over the week (we stayed just after the floods therefore the pool was just getting back to normality) We had a wonderful relaxing stay and did not want to leave.

"Fabulous villa, great location, it was a pleasure dealing with Paul Elliott on the phone when booking."
My wife & I have rented villas on this resort five times over the last four years the last two we took my daughter, son in law & grandson. Villa Lorraine rates as number one of the five. Well presented, Clean - furnished to a high standard - great pool - great position - lots of good information on the local area. One thing missing especially when you have young children Microwave oven.
Hi Terry Thank you for your positive review. Point taken on board re Microwave, we are installing one in the kitchen when next out ourselves at the end of November. Kind Regards Paul Elliott

"Perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday."
This is a really lovely villa with everything you need for a perfect relaxing holiday. The kitchen is fully equipped with dish washer and washing machine, the bedrooms and bathrooms clean and comfortable with air conditioning. The supermarket on site was close by and very well stocked. The hotel bar is lovely to relax in although there is a charge to swim in the hotel pool. There is another communal pool which is free with a small charge for sun lounger. The hotel offers a free bus service to the beach and a small shopping center, daily, although the beach was not a particularly nice beach. I would certainly recommend hiring a car if you want to go anywhere as the resort is not within walking distance of anything.

"A perfect retreat for all ages"
2 adults and 3 teenagers for a week in July and it was perfect in every way. This villa has everything you need. It is ideally located on the resort within a 2 minute walk to the local supermarket and 10 minutes to the paddle tennis courts. The villa is located across the road to the 5 star hotel (with free wifi) and within comfortable walking distance to the bars and restaurants. We took advantage of the free bus to the beach from the hotel and the hot tub on the 2nd floor of the villa and . This is our first time and with plenty for the teenagers to do and at the same time where the adults can totally chill out, we are looking to join the list of families that actually return here year after year.

Ubiquitous Learning on Pocket SCORM Hsuan-Pu Chang1, Wen-Chih Chang1, Yun-Long Sie1, Nigel H. Lin1, Chun-Hong Huang1, Timothy K. Shih1 and Qun Jin2 1 Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Tamkang University, Taiwan, Republic of China firstname.lastname@example.com 2 Department of Human Informatics and Cognitive Sciences Waseda University, Tokorozawa-shi, Saitama 359-1192, Japan firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract. With advanced technologies, computer devices have become smaller and powerful. As a result, many people enjoy ubiquitous learning using mobile devices such as Pocket PCs. Pocket PCs are easy to carry and use as a distance learning platform. In this paper, we focus on the issues of transferring the current PC based Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) to Pocket PC based. We will also introduce the Pocket SCORM Run-Time Environment (RTE) which has been developed in our lab. Pocket SCORM architecture is able to operate, even when the mobile device is off-line. It will keep the students' learning record. When it is on line, the records will then be sent back to Learning Management System (LMS). With memory limitation, we provides course caching algorithm to exchange the course content on the Pocket SCORM. Keywords: Pocket PC, PDA, SCORM, Distance Education, Ubiquitous Learning 1 Introduction Because of the advantage in size, Pocket PC is easy to be carried on hand or in the pocket. This advantage makes it a suitable platform for distance education because E-Learners can keep studying the course materials while they are away from their desk. Without the limitations of time and space, E-Learners can read their learning materials while they are walking, taking bus, and whenever they have leisure time to turn on their Pocket PCs. This new learning style provides some extra learning time for E-Learners who live in this rushing world. Although Pocket PC devices have been improved in both computing power and memory storage, they are still with lots of limitation compared with laptop or desktop computers. The following points are some differences between the Pocket PC devices and laptop or desktop computers. Connection Mechanism Normally, E-Learners will be on-line when they are using laptop or desktop computers. Since E-Learners would stay at the same location longer when using their laptop or desktop computers than using a Pocket PC devices. As a result, they will be

2 Hsuan-Pu Chang1, Wen-Chih Chang1, Yun-Long Sie1, Nigel H. Lin1, Chun-Hong Huang1, Timothy K. Shih1 and Qun Jin2 kept connected with the LMS, which is running on the server, all the time. This is different from Pocket PC devices because these devices are designed to be portable. Courseware Import and Export As we mentioned previously, Pocket PC devices sometimes could be disconnected from the network; however, we hope E-Learners are able to learn even when the network is not existed. In order to enable this functionality, we need to seek a way to allow the courseware to be temporary stored on the hand carried devices. Learning Records Buffering For a distance education standard such as SCORM, it requires the LMS to be able to keep tracking on learners' learning records so these records could be used to determine learners' progress or maybe transfer to other LMS where learner continue his education. As a result, it is important for a SCORM compatible platform to be able to store learners' learning records. In this paper, we proposed a platform which focuses on the pocket devices. There is also a LMS which will be SCORM compliant to support the Pocket SCORM platform and be the major data store. The paper organization is listed as following. In Section 2, we introduce some related works of SCORM and systems on the pocket device. Section 3 shows the architecture of our Pocket SCORM architecture. In Section 4, we introduce the Pocket SCORM RTE which has been developed in our lab. In Section 5, we introduce the course caching algorithm in Pocket SCORM. Finally the conclusion and the future works are discussed in Section 6. 2 Related Works Distance education enables E-Learners to learn without the restrictions of both time and space. There are many web-based courseware have been developed to allow learners to browse course content via a browser. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) is a standard which is proposed by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning) [1]. SCORM is aiming at the standardization of computer based teaching components. There are some papers related to SCORM have been published. Some advantages such as portability of learning content, the standardized communication interface between the LMS and WBTs, and supporting the reusability of learning object came alone with this new proposed standard. However, there are some problems as well such as the market value of SCOs, the process of producing WBTs on the basis of different SCO providers, the maintenance of SCOs and WBTs, and the quality of WBTs based on SCOs of different providers. A review discussed these issues can be found in [2]. Another paper demonstrated the Implementation of Content Repository Management System is referenced in [3]. In "Using SOAP and .NET web service to build SCORM RTE and LMS" [4], the XML Web Service based LMS and RTE was introduced. There was another system developed for automating the generation of SCORM-Based multimedia product training manuals was introduced in [5].

Ubiquitous Learning on Pocket SCORM 3 Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) have become new learning tools for distance education in recent years. Portability of the PDAs was welcomed by students, and advantageous was advantageous, limitations such as the small screen size, navigation difficulties, and slow and error-prone methods for entering text, made it difficult to read and interact with document on the PDA [6]. Some students' experiences for reading course materials by PDAs were experimented. There are also some applications developed for educational purposes. TekPAC (Technical Electronic Knowledge Personal Assistant Capsule) was introduced in [7]. TekPAC was developed for providing access to readily available electronic information, allowing the user to perform tasks at locations with all schematics, photos, videos and BKMs readily available, and integrating key interventions to raise performance of target audience. PDAs have also been adopted in medical field as a tool for education. There were some PDA Projects at Virginia Commonwealth University being introduced in [8]. 3 Pocket SCORM Architecture In proposed architecture, we pointed out two types of connection for a Pocket PC to connect with LMS Server. One type is Pocket PC is connected to the server through wired or wireless network to the internet. The other is Pocket PC connects to the server via PC to the internet while Pocket PC is synchronizing with the PC. In order to make courseware reusable, a standard representation of contents and structures must be enforced. The Content Aggregation Model (CAM) serves this purpose. CAM can be discussed in three parts: the Content Model, the Metadata, and the Content Packaging. There are three major modules within the Pocket SCORM Architecture. In the following three sub-sections, we will show the details of each of them. 3.1 Pocket SCORM Run-Time Environment There are six major components which are included in Pocket SCORM Run-Time Environment. All these components work together to form the whole Pocket SCORM Run-Time Environment. They are listed as below: Communication Agent The Communication Agent is used when the pocket devices try to communicate with the SCORM LMS Server. When E-Learners try to download the SCORM based courseware from the LMS Server, it will receive the packed courseware and pass it to Data UnPacking Agent. If there are some learning records need to be sent back to the LMS server, the Communication Agent will connect to the LMS Server and send the packed learning records back to the server. We considered using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) [9] to be our transmission protocol to make our services of server side more extendable.
Page 4
4 Hsuan-Pu Chang1, Wen-Chih Chang1, Yun-Long Sie1, Nigel H. Lin1, Chun-Hong Huang1, Timothy K. Shih1 and Qun Jin2 Data Packing Agent We implemented the Data Packing Agent to reduce network load. This agent will pack the data before sending it to Communication Agent. Data UnPacking Agent Package Interchange File (PIF) is the exchange file format. Therefore, we need Data UnPacking Agent to unpack the PIF file. Learning Agent The Learning Agent will keep tracking on the learner's learning records when the course is started. The learner might be off-line, the Learning Agent stores those learning records in the SCORM PDA Database temporarily. After it is on-line, those temporary stored learning records will be sent back to the Server. SCORM PDA Reader Due to the small screen restriction, normal web-based course content is not suitable for learners. They might need to use a stylus to control the scrollbars inside the Pocket Browser. It is inconvenient for the learners to use. To overcome this drawback, we designed "Reflow" function in the SCORM PDA Reader. "Reflow" function will adjust the content to make it fit in the width of the display width on our reader. SCORM PDA Database SCORM PDA Database has the capability of storing the temporary learners' learning records and the downloaded courseware. 3.2 PC Dock If the Pocket PC without the ability to be on-line, it will require a PC Dock to be able to connect to the LMS server. There is a Synchronization Agent inside the PC Dock. The Synchronization Agent will perform the data transmission job between Communication Agent on the Pocket SCORM RTE and XML Web Service on the SCORM LMS Server. 3.3 SCORM LMS Server There are two major components involved in SCORM LMS Server. One is the SCORM Data Repository, and the other is Pocket SCORM Service API. SCORM LMS Server provides distance education courseware which follows SCORM Data Model definition. The learners' information is also saved in the SCORM LMS Server. When a learner connects to the LMS Server, he or she needs to first logon the system before he or she can access any course materials. The usage of these two major components is stated as below:
Page 5
Ubiquitous Learning on Pocket SCORM 5 SCORM Data Repository The SCORM Data Repository stores all the course materials which follow SCORM Data Object Model. In the paper, we mainly focused on the Pocket PC devices. Therefore, we only care about how SCORM Data Repository interacts with our Pocket SCORM Service API. Nevertheless, this data repository should also support any SCORM based API. Furthermore, learners' learning records are also stored in this data repository. These SCORM based learning records should also be able to interact by using either Pocket SCORM Service API or any SCORM based API. Pocket SCORM Service API Ideally, Pocket SCORM Service APIs should be same as normal SCORM based APIs. We hope defined Pocket SCORM Service APIs can be widely applied by other applications. We tried to build Pocket SCORM Server APIs by adopting XML Web Service [10] technology. XML Web Service takes SOAP as its transmission protocol. One of the advantages of using XML Web Service as our APIs is the accessibility. Since SOAP is loosely coupled protocol by using XML wrapped envelope to invoke APIs, this vantage makes XML Service APIs can be accessed by any platform which follows SOAP protocol to acquire the service. As a result, we hope to implement our Pocket SCORM Service APIs as XML Web Services. 4 Pocket SCORM RTE Implementation Based on the proposed architecture, we have been working on the implementation of the whole architecture. Up to present, we have completed some portion of the whole Pocket SCORM Architecture. There were some components which comprises the Pocket SCORM Run-Time Environment. Some user interfaces and functions will be introduced in this section. In fig. 4.1, there are two user interfaces. On the left hand side, it shows the UI when student try to logon to Pocket SCORM RTE. Because we need to track on learners' learning records, the learner needs to provide his identity before studying the course materials. There is also an important issue need to be taken care. We need to make sure is the same user who is studying the courseware. In order to make sure learner's identity, the logon UI will be pop-up each time when Pocket PC has been turned off and turned back on again. On the right hand side of fig. 4.1, it shows a list of imsmanifest files which represent the each different course structure.

Logon Interface and Course List View In SCORM there are two major structures of a course were defined. One of them is knowledge based course structure, which is shown as on the left hand side of fig. 4.2, and the other one is linear based structure, which is shown as on the right hand side of fig. 4.2. Our Pocket SCORM RTE is capable to display the course structure according to defined imsmanifest file which learner chose to load. Fig. 4.2. Knowledge based and Linear based Structure Fig. 4.3 has shown our SCORM PDA Reader and a glance of our SCORM PDA Database. On the left hand side of fig. 4.3, it shows the UI of SCORM PDA Reader. As we introduced in section 3, our SCORM PDA Reader provides "Reflow" function to enhance the ease of reading with one hand only. In order to gain better performance, we adopted SQL CE which is a compact version of Microsoft SQL

SCORM PDA Reader and SCORM PDA Database 5 Pocket SCORM Course Caching Algorithm A SCORM course can be divided into several parts called clusters. A cluster includes a node of the learning content and all immediate children of the node. Every cluster has its own content size, and it is also a base unit to be loaded and to be replaced. A course developer can set the sequencing rules for each cluster, and those rules only affect the learning order of the cluster. 5.1 Cluster Download Order Account to the setting of sequencing rules, it is available to forecast that what clusters the learner may read next. Loading clusters by a better order, it can increase the hit ratio of caching. With the increasing of hit ratio, a leaner do not need to download new clusters so frequently. In order to find the learning order, some of the factors are shown in the following.
Page 8
8 Hsuan-Pu Chang1, Wen-Chih Chang1, Yun-Long Sie1, Nigel H. Lin1, Chun-Hong Huang1, Timothy K. Shih1 and Qun Jin2 Control Mode: the setting of sequencing rule. Because the setting will affect the learner's learning order, it is necessary to check the value of rules. If the "flow" flag is true, learner will be forced to read the first child node in a cluster. If the "choice" flag is true, learner can choice any child node in a cluster. Size: the content size of each cluster. With a fix size of storage, it can contain more clusters by loading small clusters first. As the number of clusters increase the hit ratio raised, and the learner accesses the downloaded cluster more properly. Summing up these factors can forecast the order with the following steps. PC: Parent Cluster, IC: Immediate Child Cluster of PC, Capacity: Capacity of storage Input: Capacity, PC Output: Cluster Download Order Function DownloadOrder(Capacity, PC){ If(Flow Control Mode of PC is true){ Each IC until Capacity is not enough{ Output << Cluster Number of IC; Capacity = Capacity– Size of the IC; DownloadOrder(Capacity, IC); } } Else If(Choice Control Mode of PC is true){ Insert IC into ChildArray non-descending until Capacity is not enough or no more IC; Output << Cluster Number of the ICs in ChildArray; Capacity = Capacity – Size of the ICs in ChildArray; Sort the ICs in ChildArray according to their Cluster Number; Each IC in ChildArray{ DownloadOrder(Capacity, IC); } } } 5.2 Cluster Replacement Algorithm When using a storage which is smaller than the whole course, it is inevitable to replace some clusters with the new loaded ones. In order to compute what clusters should be dropped first, we assume that there has a factor called "Distance" which can determine what cluster is useless by some parameters like cluster size, download time, and so on. With the factor, it can describe the replacement as replacement algorithm. RC: Removed Cluster, DC: Desired Cluster, PC: Parent Cluster, α: Threshold Value Input: DC, Output: Dropped Cluster Number Function Replacement(DC){

Ubiquitous Learning on Pocket SCORM 9 While(Capacity <= α){ RC = the clusterj have the max Distanceij; // i: DC, j: each cluster in the storage RC removed from the storage; Output << Cluster Number of RC; Capacity = Capacity + Size of the RC; } PC = DC; While(Capacity > Size of the PC){ Download PC; Download DownloadOrder(Capacity, PC); PC = Parent cluster of PC; } } Downloading a course in good order can make the reading more smoothly and needs less replacement. With a faultless replacement algorithm, the new downloading clusters just replace the little significant ones. The two functions of the caching algorithm working together ensure that a learner does not need to reconnect to network and re-download some clusters again and again. 6 Conclusion and Future Works Distance Education provides a convenient and flexible learning environment. Various kinds of distance learning methods have broken the time and space limitation. It is possible for people to learn anytime anywhere. To extend this flexibility and to make E-Learners able to learn at any location, our proposed Pocket SCORM architecture in this paper makes the dream come true. The Implemented Pocket SCORM RTE components were also introduced. We hope our proposed architecture can make E-Learners to learn easier by using a pocket device which can be carried to anywhere and enable E-Learners to learn anytime.

Rumbarger, Marshall, McClelland, McIntosh, Schwem, Goodyear, Bryan
NOTE: John Rumbarger (1810-1889) established the Clearfield County town of Rumbarger, precursor of the present city of DuBois, Pennsylvania. The following obituary appeared in "The DuBois Courier", 16 January 1889. Endnotes address inaccuracies or clarify relationships.
Life's Fitful Fever O'er / Death of John Rumbarger, Founder of DuBois / The Father and Patriarch of the Borough Pays the Debt That all Men Owe / Sketch of an Historical Life / The Obsequies
John Rumbarger, the father of town of DuBois, died at his home on State Street, in the First Ward, on Saturday morning at the age of 77 years, 8 months and 11 days. John Rumbarger was born in the township of Warrior's Mark, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, May 25th, 1811 [1]. He is of Dutch descent, although his ancestry had lived so long in the United States that Mr. Rumbarger must rank as a thorough American.
His father before him, likewise named John Rumbarger, was a native of Lancaster County, this State; but his grandfather was a Hollander. From the meagre intelligence now to be gleaned of the phlegmatic ancestry we may imagine that the grandfather came of good stock, thrifty and tolerably prosperous. The advent of the Rumbargers on American soil must date about the Revolutionary period in the preceding century.
John Rumbarger, Sr., was one of a large family, all of whom prospered and led contented lives. They nearly all located in Huntingdon County, one of them taking up a residence in Half-Moon Township, Centre County, not far distant. The old Rumbarger home in Huntingdon County was noted in the early days as a hospitable point for travelers and as John Rumbarger, Sr., was liberal and prosperous it was a stopping place on the great highway for that craft of appreciative diners, the preachers of all faiths, who made their trips one way or the other between the east and west, sought out the far-famed home.
John Rumbarger, Sr., married a Miss Ellenberger of Lancaster County. This union is said to have been singularly a happy one. It was crowned with the love of ten children, seven girls and three boys. The one son died at about his fortieth year. The younger son, Samuel Rumbarger, now 70 years old, was present at his brother's funeral on Tuesday. Six of the daughters are living, one of whom is 90 years old. The other died about a year ago at the age of 70. It will be observed that the family is of rare vitality.
The early history of John Rumbarger, Jr., was uneventful, as indeed may be said of the whole span of his existence, for in all his life he followed the even tenor of a man who is content to make a happy fireside for wife and little ones, and he made few, if any, efforts to reach the Dead Sea fruit of riches or political preferment.
In 1834 Mr. Rumbarger was married to Miss Elizabeth Leathers, daughter of Joseph and Barbara Leathers, to whom were born two sons and two daughters. These four who survive their father are Jacob L. Rumbarger, now living in Maryland; Anna May [2] Marshall, living in Reynoldsville; Elizabeth Goodyear, living in DuBois and Franklin Rumbarger, living in DuBois. Mrs. Rumbarger died early in 1844.
Mr. Rumbarger was again married May 22nd, 1845, this time espousing Miss Eliza Earhart, daughter of Emanuel and Catharine Earhart. Nine children came to them and of these four are living, Lavina Bryan, Alice Jane McIntosh, William and John Rumbarger, all of DuBois. [3]
Mrs. Rumbarger also lives to mourn the death of her consort, and is in right good health yet for one of her age.
Mr. Rumbarger in 1850 left his native county and settled for a time at Kittanning, Armstrong County. He lived here a period of three years, and then moved again to a point on the Allegheny River not far from the present site of Parker's Landing, and known as Black Fox Furnace. Two years finds him prompted by the wandering spirit once more, and he landed in Brookville, Jefferson County, to better carry on his occupation as a lumberman, and there he remained until the close of the war.
In 1865 Mr. Rumbarger bought from David Heberling a tract of land of 325 acres in the wilderness of Brady township. The greater portion of his farm is now embraced within the borough limits and a large portion of the town is built upon it. Mr. Rumbarger then located here permanently. He resided in the Rumbarger House, on Main Street, now kept by William Davis, where he gave entertainment to lumbermen and others.
He devoted much of his time to his farm. He had about 200 acres under fence and the fine crops of wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, etc., were the talk of the neighborhood. His thrifty habits that a life on the eastern farm had ground in him still clung to him, and his farm was a model for agriculture.
His nearest neighbor at that time was Henry Shaffer, who lived in a log house on the site now occupied by Dr. W. A. Means, on Stockdale Street . . . The next nearest neighbor was Samuel Postlethwait, who lived near Luthersburg. The Resingers, Michael Shaffer, Thomas Wayne and Abraham Heberling lived within a radius of two miles, and comprised the entire population.
With the exception of the Rumbarger farm and the Henry Shaffer farm the site of DuBois was a forest.
In 1866 John Goodyear [3] came to settle in the neighborhood. He bought from Mr. Rumbarger a piece of ground on Main Street which is now the space used as Booth Street. It was in the heart of as fine a wheat field as was to be seen in the country. Here Mr. Goodyear built a store. For a year he carried on his trade, and then sold his place to Mr. Rumbarger. Subsequently the building was removed to the Hughes? lot and became a part of Mr. Hughes' house which was destroyed in the June conflagration.
The spring of 1867 saw another store, that of Elisha Evans. It was built at the corner of Main Street as the miner's row is approached and is now known as the McCauley house.
The natural growth of, the community and the prospects induced Mr. Rumbarger in 1872 to plot a portion of his farm in lots and the new town was known as Rumbarger. The survey was made by George Kirk and the first lots were purchased by our well-known citizen, Mr. P. S. Weber. They were located on Main street and he paid $100 for two. One year later Mr. Rumbarger erected the store that was before the fire occupied by J. B. Ellis. This building was rented to J. M. TroxeIl and George Glasgow. They conducted a general store. Thomas Montgomery had preceded by erecting a storeroom on the corner of Main and Booth Streets.
Mr. Rumbarger sold his lots low at fifty to one hundred dollars a piece, and gave a long time to pay for them, thereby encouraging persons to locate permanently. This policy has been adopted by him ever since and there are many families now residing here who own good properties purchased in this manner, who might, under other circumstances, have not been so fortunate. Others, again, paid for their property, sold out and realizing handsomely on their investments, put their money into something else, while some have moved away. A number of lots sold then at from seventy-five-to one hundred dollars are worth today from two to three thousand dollars each.
While anxious to promote the growth of the town in every honorable way, and willing to help all commendable enterprises, as he always has been, Mr. Rumbarger had a keen appreciation of the mission and privileges of the church and gave liberally to it. When the idea of starting a Methodist Episcopal Church was broached, he donated to the Trustees of that Society two very desirable lots and gave in addition $1000 in cash. The Trustees afterwards sold these lots a piece 52 x 120 for $1910, and on the rear portion of the lot on which the church building stood until the fire they built a parsonage which was later sold for $900.
He next donated a lot for the erection of the Catholic Church and then sold them another for $75, on State Street. The First Ward School building was also located on one of his lots on the same street, which he disposed of at the
nominal price of $70.
About 1873 the growth of Rumbarger began to make rapid progress, and from the first start until the present it has kept up the march with almost unbroken regularity. But a new force had entered into the spirit of growth and it was one destined to swallow up the older memories. It came with the arrival of the Low Grade railroad and the lumber mills of John DuBois. As Mr. DuBois built mills and offices a desire arose to have the name changed from Rumbarger to DuBois, and after sundry attempts a compromise was finally agreed upon, and the monument which the people first intended to rear to the memory of the man who so recently passed the narrow portal into life everlasting was awarded to the more powerful rival.
Mr. Rumbarger ceased to be actively engaged in business about ten years ago, at which time he severed his connection with Alfred Bell. Since then he has lived a life of quietness and peace to which his years of labor and his prudent habits of life entitle him.
For a few years previous to his death he had been a sufferer from asthma, but it had not been of an annoying type until lately. He had little premonition of death until a few days before the summons came, and then he appeared to realize that dissolution was close at hand. With the end in view he made a will, the provisions of which are substantially as follows:
To his wife is given the use of the homestead and household property so long as she may live. For her sustenance is provided $100 per annum and the rent of four tenements. After paying all debts the balance is to be equally divided amongst the lawful heirs. An account had been kept heretofore for each child, and this is to be taken into consideration on making the distribution.
Upon the death of the wife the remaining property is to be divided in like manner. A. L. Cole, W. N. Prothero and W. E. Rumbarger are executors.
Mr. Rumbarger's descendants number 47 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, nearly all of whom who live.
He never took much hand in politics and his election to such position of honor as assistant burgess was not of his seeking. He was a plain man, kind and unassuming, and his death has caused many sincere regrets.
1. The Rumbarger family Bible, in the possession of Kelly Marshall, clearly states the birth year as 1810. His sister Sarah Rumbarger Fye was born 6 June 1811.
2. His daughter?s name is Anna Mary Rumbarger (1838-1924), not Anna May. She married William Kelker Marshall (1828-1912) and was the mother of twelve children.
3. Deceased children include Catharine Rumbarger McClelland, who married George B. McClelland and was survived by a daughter, Minnie; Lovila, Alfred, and two other sons named John, all four of whom died in childhood.
4. Goodyear was the husband of Elizabeth [Eliza] Rumbarger.

David Petraeus is going to tell members of Congress that he "knew almost immediately after the September 11th attack, that the group Ansar al Sharia, the al Qaeda sympathizing group in Libya was responsible for the attacks," CNN reports.In his closed door meeting on the Hill, "[Petraeus] will also say he had his own talking points separate from U.N. ambassador Susan Rice. [Hers] came from somewhere other in the administration than his direct talking points," Barbara Starr of CNN reports, referencing a source close to Petraeus.The former CIA director will move to further himself from comments that didn't accurately characterize the terror attack that Rice made 5 days after on national television shows."When he looks at what Susan Rice said," CNN reports, "here is what Petraeus's take is, according to my source. Petraeus developed some talking points laying it all out. those talking points as always were approved by the intelligence community. But then he sees Susan Rice make her statements and he sees input from other areas of the administration. Petraeus -- it is believed -- will tell the committee he is not certain where Susan Rice got all of her information."

The Real Scandal Surrounding the Petraeus ResignationThe National Security Agency routinely collects 1.7 billion emails, phone calls and communications every single day. Any kind of digital communication can be recorded and stored. Where you were when you wrote an email, where the recipient was when it was read, the text of the message can all be stored in enormous facilities like the $2 billion dollar Utah Data Center which contains four 25,000 foot facilities containing rows of data servers. They have to pump 1.7 million gallons of fluid through the facility every day just to keep it from overheating.The NSA doesn't need a warrant to record your most private conversations. They have managed to circumvent our privacy laws because they define an "intercept" as a piece of information read by an agent. That means they don't need authorization to record and save your information until someone decides they'd like to read it.Just how big is this domestic spying operation? It recently ensnared the nation's top spy, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.Here is how it worked: A woman in Tampa received some emails. The emails read "Who do you think you are?... You parade around... You need to take it down a notch."Because the woman in Tampa told a friend who worked at the FBI about the emails, a sprawling investigation began. According to the New York Times, the FBI found the computer from which the emails were coming. The account was anonymous, so they used "forensic techniques" to find out what other accounts were accessed from the same computer. The FBI identified a subject and obtained access to her private emails. The FBI then found more emails and then tracked down where those emails had come from.Turns out salacious messages were coming from the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. And while the FBI was looking around the Tampa woman's computer, they printed off twenty to thirty thousand pages of emails and sent them over to the Department of Defense.Ignore for a moment that we are talking about the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. At the beginning, his involvement was unknown. "You need to take it down a notch" was justification for the FBI to access private emails in at least three accounts.Why should this concern you? You are reading this on a computer or a mobile device. The FBI and the NSA can track you and find out your location. They can then look at your IP address and determine what websites you go to and what accounts you have accessed. They need a warrant to read any email that is less than 180 days old, but they can read any older email with only a court order that does not require probable cause. Just yesterday, Google disclosed that they have received 7,969 requests for information and access from the United States government in the first half of 2012.The FBI, if they thought they had a reason, could find out where you are and read your email, with relatively little oversight. Don't think they can? This is what happened to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, an active four star general and two women. Even after this incredible invasion of privacy, the FBI has determined that no crime was likely committed and charges are unlikely to be filed.Want to know what a national security state looks like? Look around.Dennis Kucinich via Huffpo

General McChrystal is relieved of his Afghan post because a reporter over heard soldiers during their time off in a bar making jokes about Obama due to his lack of making a decision towards the end of 2009. General McChrystal was not part of that discussion but happened to be in the same bar/area, and as such he was "somehow" linked to being responsible for the soldiers conduct and was "punished" by being brought back to the U.S. where he resumed his military rank, but was assigned to more "domestic" related issues.General McChrystal was Obama's hand pick to replace the Bush administration's previous pick for the Afghan front...setting aside the Rolling Stone article... why would Obama remove the Bush administration's pick, then a heavily Liberal Biased/Influenced magazine (The Rolling Stone) is given "top clearance" to follow McChrystal around in the Afghan war which resulted in a very odd article that somehow linked McChrystal to being "unfit", and then remove McChrystal to only have him resume his military duties...but in the U.S.?Read more: korean-crisis-summary-t36961.html#ixzz2CF7LmSan

Disclose the dirt himself and resign...and then wait until the supreme court issues a summons which would supercede any previous legal gagging restrictions he would have as an ex-CIA official...and then at that point...he would "have" to tell all...which would clear his record (to a point) and expose the Obama administration for what it truly is.Tough times ahead folks...make sure you tighten your budgets...the economy will most certainly tank several thousand points within the next 6 months...if not more. -CNp.s.
