Live example
view and use a live frequency list of nouns generated from CL Anthology Reference Corpus (ARC)
Word list is a generic name for all kinds of frequency lists that Sketch Engine can generate. The most frequent type is a word list of word forms or lemmas, but the user can also generate for example:
In the figure, you can see several word lists extracted from various corpora.
- A the most frequent morphological tags used in the British National Corpus
- B frequency list of collocates of the English verb 'take'
- C frequency list of words in the British National Corpus (BNC)
- D frequency list of character trigrams from BNC
- E frequency list of words starting with 'b'
- F frequency list of the word forms of 'be'
If you need to restrict the word list to a specific part of speech (e.g. adjectives), you have two options:
- if the corpus has a lempos attribute, select "lempos" as the search attribute and type .*j (for adjectives) into the Regular expression filter, check the corpus details for available lempos attributes in the corpus
- the corpus does not contain lempos attributes or you need different units than lemmas – select "tag" as the search attribute, type the tag (tags are vary across corpora) into the Regular expression filter, then tick Change output attribute(s) and select one or more output attributes
Other uses might include various statistical information about the corpus, e.g. list of documents in the corpus by the number of tokens etc.
How to generate a word list
- click Home and select a corpus by clicking it
Which corpus should I choose?
- select Word list from the left menu
- use one of the preset options:
preset options: all words, all lemmas
The left menu contains two pre-selected options:
All words
to generate a frequency list of word forms in the corpus
All lemmas
will generate a frequency list of lemmas in the corpus
- use the following settings to define what should be included in your word list
settings in detail
(1) the word list can be generated from the whole corpus or a subcorpus only, select the subcorpus here, you can also get information about the subcorpus or create a new one from text types
(2) select what you want to count, whether word forms, lemmas or other attributes. The list of options depends on how the corpus is annotated but will generally include these options:
attributes: word form, tag, lempos, lempos-lc, lemma, word form (lowercase), lemma-lc
word sketch: collocations, terms – same as in the term extraction feature with the only difference that single and multiword terms are generated in one table
text types: text types depend on the corpus selected and will be different for each corpus
(3) tick this options to calculate frequencies of n-grams
(4) when ticked, at the end will be grouped under at the end of because the 3-gram at the end is a sub n-gram of the 4-gram at the end of
Filter options
Exclude the items you are not interested in using the following filters:
(5) use regular expressions to limit the results to a certain pattern
simple example: ca.* produces a frequency list of words starting with ca
please refer to the examples further below
(6) use a limit to exclude low frequency words, use zero to include all words
(7) use a limit to exclude high frequency words
(8) if the frequency should be calculated only for a closed list of words, upload the list here, the file must be a plain text UTF-8 file with one word per line, the items must correspond to a selected attributes, e.g. when lemma is selected as an attribute, goes produces no result because it is not a lemma, when lempos is selected, all items must have a format of a lemma, i.e. go-v, money-n etc.
(9) use the blacklist to exclude a closed set of items from the frequency list
(10) when ticked, non-words will be included in the list (non-words are all tokens not starting with a letter, e.g. punctuations or numerals)
Output options
Here you can specify what should be displayed on the output screen.
(11) frequency figures
hit counts – the number of occurrences will be displayed next to each item
document counts – number of documents in the corpus where the item appeared at least once
ARF – average reduced frequency is a specialized statistic
(12) + (13) output type
simple – will produce a frequency list of all items matching the criteria
keywords – will only include keywords into the frequency list, i.e. specialized terminology related to the topic of the corpus more details. A reference corpus (14) has to be selected (leave the preselected one if not sure, the slider (15) can be used to influence to what extent more common (=less specialized) words should be included.
(16) the results can be calculated for certain attributes but different attributes can be displayed as output, e.g. frequencies can be calculated for lemmas but word forms can be displayed as output, up to 3 attributes can be displayed
Examples of filters with regular expressions
Here are some examples of frequently used word list settings with regular expressions.
A list of nouns
Search attribute: lempos or lempos (lowercase)
Regular expression: .*-n
(-n might not be the noun suffix in all corpora, please refer to the Corpus details screen)
Note: the same result can be achieved by searching tags but lempos produce the results faster. To hide -n in the results, use Change output attributes: lemma or word
A list of 2- to 4-letter acronyms
The wordlist will contain all words written with 2 to 4 upper case letters.
Search attribute: word
Regular expression: [A-Z]{2,4}
A list of verbs and nouns beginning with re-
Search attribute: lempos
Regular expression: re-.*-[v|n]
(-n and -v might not be the right suffixes in all corpora, please refer to the Corpus details screen)
Change output attributes seems to produce incorrect counts?
When you use the Change output attributes option, the frequencies may not be calculated from the whole corpus. With this option selected, it is compulsory to use a regular expression. First, a concordance for the words matching the regular expression is created and the frequency is calculated only from the first 10 million hits. If the corpus is large and there are more than 10 million hits matching the regular expression, the remaining hits will be ignored and not included in the word list.
Using a regular expression such as .* to match any word works exactly the same: a concordance will be created for the first 10 million words only (because any of the first 10 million words matches the regular expression). If the corpus is bigger than 10 million words, the rest of the corpus will not be included in the frequency. The output screen notifies you about this and offers the option of using random 10 million rather than the first 10 million lines.
Word list limitations
There is no limit to the number of word lists a user can generate. The number of items in 1 wordlist is subject to these restrictions:
Word lists generated from:
user corpora – there is no limit to the number of word list items in each word list
preloaded corpora – the maximum number of items in each word list is limited to 1,000.
Bypassing the limits
Although there is a limit of 1,000 items in the case of preloaded corpora (user corpora are not subject to any limitation), the interface offers powerful filtering using regular expressions so that only the required words are included and the 1,000-word limit might be sufficient for you. The user can request access to unlimited word lists, please see the conditions below.
Commercial or lexicographic purposes
For retrieving unlimited word lists in order to use them for any commercial purposes or lexicography please request a quote from us.
Research-only purposes
Retrieving full word lists from a preloaded corpus for research purposes is only possible upon signing a research agreement and paying an administrative fee of 280 EUR + VAT for a single user account.
To lift the limit from your account, please download Sketch Engine Research Licence for Word Lists, fill it in, sign, scan and send it back to firstname.lastname@example.com together with your invoicing address and your Sketch Engine username.
Note though that we still reserve the right to apply some limits for technical reasons, usually at 10 million items.

Date of Stay: December, 2010
Is this campground for real? KOA? Very questionable. The bathrooms were filthy and no toilet paper. I have been here 3 times before, and it was much better then. What happened to the wonderful office staff and the campground workers. The trash cans are overflowing, and no one bothers to check to see if we are happy. Went to the office and told the 'child' behind the desk what the problem was, and she chuckled and said it would be taken care of, but to no avail. Not only did I have a problem with the grounds and workers but also being yelled out by someone living near the stairs saying I was too noisy walking down them. This campground has many things to offer if it was kept up. The game room smelled of gasoline. They have a well used pool table and the cue sticks need to be replaced. I will never return to this campground and will tell all not to come here also. The management is lacking in professionalism and is lacking in general. My family and I stayed here in March 2010, May 2010 and July 2010 with no problems. The staff was polite and helpful as well as the grounds were kept clean and orderly. Did you sell this to someone or don't you care anymore?
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Not a whole lot of amenities, but they do have clean showers and are very helpful. Great breakfast (free). Will come again on our way home. Thanks.

Nice find! I don't recall seeing one of these on hats before.ReplyDelete
They are pretty unique, KB! I love the helmet/visor one. Très chic!ReplyDelete
I think they were pretty unique in real life as well. I don't remember seeing too many back in the late 60s, but then I didn't hang out in Carnaby Street! It is, however, a fancy version of the Balaclava Helmet. Now those I did see worn by boys - I used to wear the one's my mother knitted to keep my ears warm in the winter. Here's a pattern I found on the Victoria and Albert Museum website (my mother didn't make them with ear flaps like this one has):ReplyDelete
Nice! Someday, when I have some time, I may just have to knit one! I love the VAM website by the way... such a great resource!ReplyDelete

Football Coach Suspended For DX Crotch Chop (Video), More
— Felipe Barerre, a Texas High School football coach, was caught on tape doing the DX crotch chop to the opposing team's bench while celebrating his victory. He was suspended for a week. NBC Sports' Off The Bench posted a video of the incident, which you can see below:
— The RAW Superstars are arriving in Mexico this afternoon to kick off their tour there. WWE is taking extra precautions for fear of drug crimes when driving their production trucks from Texas to Mexico City.
— WWE moved the SmackDown! live event in Veracruz, Mexico on October 15th up to 1pm so the top SmackDown stars are able to appear at the RAW TV tapings at 8pm that night in Mexico City.
— There was some speculation that the SmackDown stars may not be appearing on next week's RAW because of the scheduling. The RAW stars will still be able to appear on SmackDown if needed because their scheduled don't conflict when SmackDown tapes on Sunday.
— The September 19th RAW Supershow had 436,000 homes watching on DVR or tape delay, which would be 12.7% of the total viewership.

The friend of a young man killed in a high-speed crash faces charges over his death.
But the grieving family of tradesman Kawati Ross Timoti, 22, refuse to blame anyone for the accident on Auckland's Northwestern Motorway in February.
Rawiri Huitoroa Castle, 25, is charged with boy-racing causing death, and being the driver in a fatal accident who failed to stop to see if anyone was killed.
On the night of February 28, the boys, who had been friends since primary school, were driving home in separate cars from an evening of fishing when Timoti lost control of his Nissan Skyline and smashed into a power transformer at the Patiki Rd interchange.
Police alleged the boys had been racing and Castle fled the scene without checking if his friend was alive.
Timoti's sister, Robyne Timoti, said they didn't blame Castle, who went to her brother's tangi and 23rd-birthday celebrations at his grave site in Haranui, near Helensville, in April.
"I don't blame anyone. It was sad and just an accident," Robyne said.
"We miss him. They had a good time at his birthday and Rawiri was there."
She said the family suspected a spacesaver tyre blowout contributed to the cause of the accident and warned it could happen to anyone.
Despite his rebellious attitude towards driving, she said Timoti was a cheeky, funny boy who loved music, fishing and going to church.
"He had a good heart. Everyone has their faults, he was just a boy who was looking forward to the future."
Castle is due to appear in the Waitakere District Court on September 13.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong Reportedly to Admit to Oprah that He Was Doping All Those Years
Cyclist Lance Edward Armstrong is reportedly going to admit doping when he appears as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Network next week, Thursday, January 17. The New York Times revealed that Armstrong would have a "limited confession" on Oprah's show.
Armstrong, 41, has repeatedly denied doping in the past, but in 2012, he was stripped of all the titles he had won during his Tour de France stints when the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) found out that he was using performance-enhancing drugs. He was also banned from the cycling competition for life in which the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has jurisdiction. This ban has not just affected his ability to compete in the Tour de France. It also hurts his ability to earn income by appearing in various triathlons events.
There were some reports that he wanted to redeem himself through his confession and cooperation so he could participate in other sports like triathlon or running events. This doesn't appear likely at this point.
Armstrong, reportedly, did not confirm, though, whether he would indeed confess or not, but he said that he would be answering Oprah Winfrey's questions "directly, honestly and candidly."
Armstrong currently has several pending legal cases against him. A company in Dallas wanted to recover the bonus money they awarded him when he won the Tour de France. Still, another case is being filed by his former teammate, Floyd Landis, claiming that a cover-up by the U.S. Postal Service Team Director, Johan Bruyneel, was designed to conceal Armstrong's positive results.
Armstrong did not contest the charges filed on July 10, 2012 by USADA. This means that he agrees with the USADA's sanction, and that he accepts the lifetime ban and loss of all Tour de France titles.
Tim Herman, Armstrong's lawyer, denied though that Armstrong would confess to Oprah Winfrey. Herman added that it won't be a secret should Armstrong decide to say something.

Like I said on Day 1, I'm not a big-ticket spender. (Although I somehow wound up lusting after a $725 bag* last night. Don't worry! I clicked the hell outta there!) But I often make small-ticket impulse purchases that, in hindsight, maybe weren't so smart. Here's a recent one.
This is the second "dead" piggy bank this week. Maybe it's time for a vacation.
I went to an engagement party (OK, it was Petra's) where the centerpieces were real-live fish, which guests got to take home. Leaving with a new pet wasn't mandatory, but I'm not one to turn down a free animal. So I named my fish Baze (after, um Baze) Monroe (after the town we were in), and packed her up for the somewhat tumultuous ride home. (There was a fair amount of booze on the party bus. Let's leave it at that.)
I noticed the next morning that Baze Monroe seemed depressed. She would sit very still at the bottom of her glass bowl, kind of like she was dead. If I tapped on the side or shook it a little, she'd swim around for a minute, but the next time I looked up, she'd be back on the bottom of the bowl, staring at me with her sad fishy eyes. I took a video to e-mail to Rory (at work, since this couldn't wait 'til he got home) and explained that I was worried about her mental health.
Exhibit A: I'm no Freud, but I think my diagnosis of fish depression was pretty accurate.
I thought her mood would improve after a few days, but if anything, she kept getting sadder. So I bought her a new home. A $100 new home. (Well, the home itself was $70. But since I was already spending $70 I added on $20 worth of decor. Plus tax, and well, you know how it goes.)
The good news is, Baze Monroe does seem much happier.
Look at her go!
The bad news is, I really didn't have $100 to throw around on luxury accommodations for a $2 fish. Especially when there was a similar setup (a way-less-cute similar setup, but still) available for less than half of what I paid.
Do you guys make impulse purchases (of any size) that you later regret? Anyone make one lately? And do you think I'm stupid for pimping my pet?

The Confederation of British Industry reported a slight rise, for the second successive month, in the volume of sales on the high street. The three-month average for sales volumes - a better indicator of the underlying trend - reached its highest level since July.
But the CBI, as with other business organisations and unions this week, urged the monetary committee to reduce the cost of borrowing by another quarter point.
Alastair Eperon, chairman of the CBI's distributive trades survey panel, said the slight increases in sales volumes suggested that consumers were starting to spend money again, but he added: "The momentum needs to be maintained."
City opinion remains divided, with some economists expecting a rate reduction today and others looking ahead to the likely need for rate increases later in the year.
Marian Bell, an economist at Royal Bank of Scotland, said: "I think there is a danger the monetary committee will cut again before they stop, and will need to reverse it later."
The lags in monetary policy meant that the lower interest rates since autumn 1998 had not yet had their full impact on the economy, which was already recovering, said Ms Bell.
But the renewed strength of the pound, whose index climbed by 0.3 points to 105.0 yesterday, favours a rate cut. Speaking on the exchange rate, John Townend, Bank of England director for European matters, yesterday said: "There is no question that it does affect the UK's competitiveness."
Richard Iley at ABN Amro said that yesterday's CBI survey results, although not a good guide to official retail sales figures, showed that consumer demand was still patchy.
The CBI said the number of retailers reporting higher sales exceeded those reporting falls by 15 per cent, similar to March's 14 per cent balance. The three-month average rose to 10 per cent from 2 per cent.
Retailers of footwear and specialist foods, as well as off-licences, reported the biggest increases in sales last month, but the sales of new cars dropped sharply in April after the surge in March caused by the start of the new T-registration period.

"I DREAM OF SPACE"I love colour and I love to express myself with the freedom of free flowing mediums. I am currently working on a series of paintings that encompass's all elements of my passion. Striking colours, together with using a variety of mixed media, both solvent and water based, plus any other base that I can experiment with. I love the way that the differing mediums interact with each other - rejecting and accepting, pushing and pulling, fighting and yielding, repelling and attracting; you get the picture! When I apply the different medium based paints at the same time the elements are shifting all of the time whilst wet, creating many different pictures, and it is not until it is dry that I know whether my vision has worked. I can literally sit and watch paint dry! Once dry I will sit and look at the finished result to read the picture held within, and then the title of the picture comes as an instinct based on what my vision has seen. My passion is not just for the process but also the result. You might see something different than the picture I have seen, and that is why I sign my paintings on the back and not the front. The painting comes ready to hang in my chosen viewpoint but you may choose to hang it a different way up. Every painting is individually numbered which is controlled and recorded by me.This painting has the colours of dark pinks, burgundy, greeny gold used in it which has produced very interesting results with patterns that are all interlacing with each other, plus using sprinkles of green and pink glitter produces a gorgeous sparkle in certain lights. The sides are painted in a dark pink colour. The finish is a mixture between matt, satin and glossy. Custom fees and duties are the responsibility of the recipient.

Friday night Jeff picked me up and we drove out to the lake. I slipped my hand under my skirt and into my panties and got my fingers nice and wet then I reached over and I slipped them into his mouth.
I have often been asked when my fascination for controlling cocks came into play.I would have to say it started back in high school.
One of my jobs the first year I was cheerleader in high school was collecting the towels in the boys locker room after they had football practice. Well this day I was a little late getting in the locker room and I was gathering the towels when I noticed I was not alone.
Jeff, one of the football players ,was in the shower room and the curtain was pulled to the side and I could see his arm moving. I slipped closer where I could see him better and he was jacking off.
I was so entranced by his jacking off I could not have taken my eyes away if I wanted to. I seen the animalistic look on his face. I could see the swollen angry cock head as it busted though his fist time and time again.I watched as he blew his load all over the slower.
I slipped out before Jeff noticed I was watching but I caught myself teasing him after practice everyday just trying to get him to jack off again so I could watch. Time and time again he was the last one in the locker room and I would sneak in and watch him jacking off.
One day it came over me that I wanted a closer look. I walked up to where Jeff was sitting and his eyes flew open.I sat down beside him and took his hand and put it back over his cock and then took mine and wrapped it around his and I just simply looked in his eyes and told him to stroke it for me.
Jeff looked right into my eyes as he stroked until he again had an orgasm. I would tell him when to start and stoke and then with my sultry southern voice almost in a moan would say slow down or stroke it fast. I would make him stroke with just his finger tips and then sometimes I would tie his hands and I would stroke him to the edge over and over again only stopping just before he could cum.
Jeff became my toy my personal stroker boy stroking solely for my enjoyment.
I was always amazed at how much stronger his orgasms where when I had teased and edged him over and over and when I did allow him to cum his eyes would roll in the back of his head and his body would shudder.
One Monday afternoon I had brought him to the edge and back over and over again. This time I stopped and asked him to go home and not touch his cock until we met the next day. I told him that if he did just what I said he could pick me up on Friday night only if he was a good boy.
The edging went on all week.I lead him to the edge over and over again until his body trembled for release. I would sit across from him and make him watch as my hands went into my panties and I brought myself to an orgasm only to deny him his.
Friday night Jeff picked me up and we drove out to the lake. I slipped my hand under my skirt and into my panties and got my fingers nice and wet then I reached over and I slipped them into his mouth.
Jeff's cock was raging hard bigger than I had ever seen it veins popping out all over. I teased and teased him for hours.Then I asked him if he wanted to cum of course he screamed yes I am a woman of my word. I grabbed his cock my long red nails slipping around his shaft. I looked in his eyes and asked him who's cock it was...he looked at me and said yours....I stroked a little faster and looked at him and asked .....Who's cummie is this He looked me right into my eyes and said yours....I stroked a little faster.
Jeff had sweat beading up on his forehead and then I said are you ready to cum for me my pet and Jeff moaned yessssss.....Then I brought him right to the edge and then the minute that release shudder though his body I reached down and squeezed his balls as hard as I could and just ruined that orgasm...I did not promise him that he would enjoy it LOL
I did not think Jeff would want to play my games with me any more and I giggled after I got home at how his eyes flew open when I took the pleasure from his release. Monday morning I walked into the locker room to collect the towels and there he sat looking at me and said your cock ....your balls.....your orgasm....

The Emporia Republican is just bright in the evening as it has always been in the morning. long as they have earthquakes and 8aiu Altdka Hill in California they can't expect to prosper. It must be that the peach crop is a failure this year. The buds have not been killed by the frost. We are told that all the South Dakota saloons have olosed their doors.

It ib sad that Kesimlkb should be compelled to linger in a world which must be bereft of interest for him, left as he 1b a lonely widower. Tuscola, 111., is all stirred up over the presence of a wild bear. They really ought to put a high board fence around the Chicago board of trade.

A man who tries to swindle the papers out f an good an item nn that does not deserve any favors at the hands of newspa-paper men.-Lawrence Tribune. Chairman Quay. Ho Maitiikw Stanley Quay will not resign his position as chairman of the Nxtiooal ltepublican committee'; He will ot retire under the Are of an enemy? Wei!, we certainly admire the bravery of the senator in the face of the attacking foe, l>ir believe it is about time he should be ruturning the Are. However invul-UfinblM his position be cannot withstand the onslaught of his enemy if he does not tlKht li.ck. The Republicans of this country like to see n man unflinching in timeB of ussault, but they want to see hi ni defend his position with something beside stoical indifference. Gibraltar the strongest fouress in the world, could be easily captured if its defenders were to stand idly by their guns while the assaulting foes made their attacks. There 1b too much "silence on the Potomac" to suit the Republicans of Kansas. Beiiutor Quay must refute the charges made against him or resign his position as chairman of the National Republican committee. The man who holds that important position in the Republican party must be above the shadow of suspicion. He must be not only able, but willing to defend himself when he is attacked by foes, either without or within. Senator Quay may be innocent of the charges preferred against him. If he is let him say so; but if he is not innocent the Republicans of the United States do not want him to occupy the high poBltion in the party another day. The Nbws calls upon Hon. Cyhus Lu-i.ANi), member of the National Republican committee for Kansas, to put this matter squarely to Chairman Quay at the next meeting of the committee, the 7th of this month. He must either satisfactorily answer the charges made against him or he must Btep down and out. Bis further retention in the absence of such vindication will be ruinous to the interests of the Republican party. The Republican party have never tolerated or condoned rascality, and they will not do so now. There is no room In the par. ty for boodlers. They belong on the other side. There ara times when it is criminal for an innocent man to remain silent; and that is the situation so far bb the Chairman Quay and the Republican party are concerned. The demand for a refu tation of these charges comes from the Republican party, and it should be forthcoming. If it is not, a resignation or dismissal will be the only alternative. Hut admit that it is dead against the Kansas ides, and that prohibition is estopped. It will occur to any one not too badly soaked that Kansas i� � remarkable state for trying experiments; thst instead of resubmission or yielding to the re-estab-lishmont of the stloon, the n Meole tor primmer*.......... 1,6115 34 ftt.Otto 60 Deduct police court .and pound receipt*.............

During the year there were in all 1,010 arrests and l,lv2 convictions for oil of-lenses in the police court. Ot this nutn bertaem were six arrests and convictions for keeping gambling houses, ninety-three arrests nuu ninety convictions lor i^amlling, ten arrests and eigm convictions for Keeping uoubbs of ill fame or houses 01 asniguation, sixty-two arrests and ntty-llve convictions for prostitution in various forms, ana thirty-one arrests and seventeen convictions for selling liquor In violation of law. This makes u total of but 202 arrests and 110 convictions for the three offenBes, the number of which under Kansas laws suould more than anything else indicate the mural condition of a city. In the course of their report the com missioners Bay: During the year there has not existed in Topeka an institution which the most radical ami-prohibitionist or resubinissionibt could call a saloon or tipping house. The arrests made wore of jointietand bootleggers. What ever a''joint" may mean elsewhere doeB not mean in Topeka a public or well known place at which liquors are s'olk. It means a hole in some sub-basemeht, an opening from some dark alley into which respectable people wilt not go. It means a secret retreat, so carefully guarded by its disreputable proprietor that only party known or identified as a Bate as-Bociate of law breakers can gain admittance. The bootlegger, the vagabond Baloon keeper, the peripatetic bartender leads a still more wretched and uneasy-life than the jointist. The business of both ia rendered so unprofitable and their existence so uncomfortable that the evils ot their trade are reduced to the minimum. Joiutists and bootleggers violate the prohibitory law in Topeka as other criminals violate oiher laws. In the earlier days of the fight for the enforcement of the prohibitory law in Topeka the men who sold liquor in violation of law wsb in the eyes of the friendr. and defenders of the liquor traffic a sort of martyr.

His career is one of! vast interest to all, and it is of itself � sort of encyclopedia of the national game.

It was written in collaboration with Mr. Frank Hough, of Tin Philadelphia North American, than whom uo omvknows Mr. W> iglit better. I take pleasure in according Mr. Hough more than half of whatever credit is due the production. Harry Wright was born In Sheffield, England, in When lie was about eighteen months old his parents removed to the United States, where Daniel Wright, who hop b*en located in California for years; ceorge, the greatest short stop tho game ever had, and now a succe�5fulsportiiig goods dealer of Boston, and Sam, who is associated in business with his brother Oeorgt', were >K>rn. Prom childhood Manager Wright took a keen interest in till outdoor sports and pastimes, a trait that he inherited from his father, who was one or the first, if not the first, profefv-sioual cricketers in this country. While serving his apprenticeship with a manufacturing jeweler iu Maiden lane, New York, ho devoted a considerable portion of each summer to play hit; cricket, and in 18(51 he joined tho K nicker lacker club. The latter organization broke up during tho war, many of its members going to the front. In iy^l-C.> Mi*. Wright joined the Gotham club, of New York, playing third and short, and occasionally goin^ behind the bat. He ai�o played cricket with the St, George club on tho lied House grounds, First avenue and One Hundred and Second aud One Hundred and Third streets, and iu 160(1 he made an agreement to play with that club, but ho was released from his engagement at his own request, ami joined the Cincinnati Cricket club as professional at a salary of $1,300. Some of the best known cJ!iz�iis of Cincinnati, including J, W. Johnston, C'-apt. H. A. G)ass-ford, A. B. Champion and Charles Seanlon, were members of the club. They won tired of cricket, and on July �i, lMJU, the Cincinnati Ball club was formal. Tho uniform was a gorgeous alfuir, cutisialiitg of red caps, blue Irousersnud white-shirts. The new chib played live games with the local amateur teams, winning throe. In lWj(i Mr. Wright received an advantageous oifer from the Germautown Cricket club of Philadelphia, which he would have liked to accept, but the Cincinnati people would not let him go, uud though they hud no legal claim on bis services, only ins promise, he iJecJinMl the ojJVr.

The Buck.*.70 grounds were opened iu May, and in the first game Harry Wright appeared on the Ueld clad in knickerbockers nud long red stockings, and caused a seusatiou, a few of the more prudish of the women folk characterizing his make up us indecent. Cincinnati won all the games from the Buckeyes. Tho Buckeye people were anxious to win tlm secoud game, and the night before they took liatiieid, Bratuard and Allison out and got them drunk, Tho next day Wright would not permit Hatfield U> play, although the directors coaxed Wright to change his decision but he would not.

devious route, nearly a hundred miles, with all the dispatch I can possibly make.
My perplexities multiply. I am only deterred by the compulsory reserve I practise
as to my name from making a very singular request of you. My poor child has not
quite recovered her strength. Her horse fell with her, at a hunt which she had
ridden out to witness, her nerves have not yet recovered the shock, and our
physician says that she must on no account exert herself for some time to come.
We came here, in consequence, by very easy stages—hardly six leagues a day.

consent to take charge of her daughter during her absence.

She in some sort disarmed me, by stating and admitting everything that could be
urged against it, and throwing herself entirely upon my chivalry. At the same
moment, by a fatality that seems to have predetermined all that happened, my
poor child came to my side, and, in an undertone, besought me to invite her new
friend, Millarca, to pay us a visit. She had just been sounding her, and thought, if
her mamma would allow her, she would like it extremely.

and fire of high birth, determined me; and, quite overpowered, I submitted, and

I don't think you'll find many who agree with any suspension lengths partially because of league inconsistency and partially because fans like to complain.

A Linux powered laptop from System76 with all the trimmings
Subject: Mobile | August 27, 2013 - 02:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, ubuntu, system76, Gazelle Pro
The component list of System76's Gazelle Professional laptop reads like a $1000+ ultrabook, a Core i7 4900MQ, 8GB of DDR3-1600, a 120GB Intel 520 SSD and 15.6-inch 1080p display. Instead of Windows it ships with Ubuntu 13.04, part of the reason you can purchase the base model for $830. Support for Haswell's HD Graphics 4600 is solid, with performance far beyond the old HD Graphics 3000; the Ivy Bridge GPU can sometimes outperform Haswell but that will change as drivers improve. Take a peek at the benchmarks in Phoronix's review.
"System76 recently sent over their Haswell-based Gazelle Professional laptop that sports HD Graphics 4600, a fancy Intel SSD, 8GB of system memory, and a beautiful HD display. This Haswell Linux laptop has already been used for testing within a few Phoronix articles while now is a full look at this Ubuntu laptop along with some comparison performance tests."

Insync 1.0 For Linux Finally Out of Beta Status
Subject: General Tech | August 2, 2013 - 12:57 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: linux, insync, google drive, file sync
Insync, a service that enables file syncing between local machines and Google Drive cloud storage recently announced that its Linux client has been updated to version 1.0 and is officially out of beta.
Several bug fixes and performance tweaks hve been made to the Insync Linux client, which has gone through several beta testing/feedback cycles between the Windows and Mac 1.0 release and the new Linux 1.0 release. Users can now install Insync for Linux on various Linux distributions using apt-get or yum. Insync 1.0 for Linux will further add a new right-click context menu that allows users to add files to Insync and the software takes care of adding a symlink to the Insync folder automatically. The local Insync files will then be sync to Google Drive, including your documents.
Unfortunately, the file compare update is still being worked on. This update wil enable users to update to version 1.0 from a x.9 release without re-downloading all of their data stored in Google Drive. According to Insync, this feature is slated for inclusion in the Insync 1.1 Linux client.
More information on the latest Insync for Linux application can be found at insynchq.com/linux.
Could Linux 3.11 for Workgroups win the Desktop for Linux? Okay, probably not, but it's a good pun.
Subject: General Tech, Systems | July 17, 2013 - 03:58 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: linux, Windows 3.11
Remember the time where Microsoft would only succeed on their third attempt? Did you ever wonder where Microsoft lost their way, instead stuck with some semi-regular sequence of alternating good and terrible? I cannot tell you at what point we lost the magical third version, it left unannounced about a decade ago, but Windows 3 will be its earliest popular example. Windows 3.11 for Workgroups eclipsed the then dominant Apple and helped put a computer in every office.
Image, Linux Foundation via The H Open.
Even Linus Torvalds, the creator and lead maintainer of the Linux Kernel, referred to the notoriety of Windows 3.11 with Linux heading toward 3.11. That version of Linux is now developed under the codename, "Linux for Workgroups". Tux, the penguin mascot of Linux, can be seen waving a retro-fashioned Windows flag. Perhaps in a few decades when they reach version 6, Tux can learn to play the tuba... or some other type of... long... horn.
A little luck is what Linux requires to become adopted by the home PC market. Unlike Windows 3, Linux has been a great operating system for decades. The real problem with Linux is branding, many equate the OS with command-line inputs, or believe that it does not welcome proprietary software into its open gates. Clearly, both statements are untrue: Linux is the foundation for Android and many other popular graphical UIs, and one can easily be against selling a software's right to exist without being against selling the software itself. Otherwise, very few critiques can be justified against Linux.

CompuLab Launches SFF Utilite PC Powered By Quad Core ARM Processor
Subject: General Tech, Systems | July 14, 2013 - 11:51 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: utilite, ubuntu, silent, SFF, linux, fanless, cortex-a9, compulab, arm, Android
CompuLab has announced a new fanless, small form factor PC called the Utilite. This new PC comes from the same company that engineered the MintBox, MintBox 2, and Fit PC series. The Utilite is a low-power desktop PC powered by a quad core ARM Cortex A9 processor and runs either Ubuntu Linux or Google's Android operating system.
The upcoming Utilite measures 5.3" x 3.9" x 0.8"(135 x 100 x 21mm) and consumes anywhere between 3W and 8W of power depending on the particular hardware configuration. It is designed to be a quiet desktop replacement with plenty of IO.
CompuLab will provide single core, dual core, and quad core CPU SKUs. Specifically, the Utilite is powered by a Freescale i.MX6 ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor that is clocked at up to 1.2 GHz. Users will be able to further configure the system with up to 4GB of DDR3 1066 MHz memory and a 512GB mSATA SSD. Storage can be further expanded using Micro SD-XC cards (maximum of 128GB per card). The GPU in the SoC is compatible with OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 as well as OpenVG 1.1 and OpenCL EP. It is capable of hardware decoding multi-stream 1080p video in a variety of common formats.
Wireless functionality includes an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi card and Bluetooth 3.0.
The Utilite has a dark gray case with silver front and rear bezels.
The front of the Utilite PC features the following IO options in addition to the power button and indicator LEDs.
- 1 x USB OTG (Micro USB)
- 1 x RS232 (ultra mini serial connector)
- 1 x Micro SD card slot
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 2 x 3.5mm audio jacks (line in, line out)
The rear of the PC hosts:
- 1 x DC power input
- 1 x Wi-Fi antenna
- 1 x RS232 (ultra mini serial connector)
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 2 x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 jacks
- 2 x HDMI video outputs
According to fanless PC guru FanlessTech, CompuLab will be releasing the ARM-powered Utilite mini PC next month with a starting price of $99 and a variety of SKUs with varying amounts of CPU cores, memory, and storage. The Utilite PC is a bit on the expensive side, but this is a system for industrial and enterprise use as well as consumers, and Olivier from FanlessTech notes that build quality should be on par with those goals/industry aims.
Linux Kernel 3.10 Adds New Drivers, SSD Caching Framework, Networking Improvements, and More
Subject: General Tech | July 2, 2013 - 04:47 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: linux, linux kernel, kernel 3.10, linus, bcache, TLP, btrfs, XFS, UVD
Earlier this week, Linus Torvalds officially released an updated Linux kernel with version 3.10. The new kernel bakes in a number of tweaks and new features, including a new SSD caching framework, new drivers and hardware support, networking improvements, and experimental file system tweaks.
Kernel 3.10 features quite a few improvements to storage. The big new feature is bcache, or Black Layer Cache, which is a framework that allows an SSD to acts as a read and write cache for a slower mechanical hard drive. The SSD will cache frequently accessed data to improve read times as well as act as a write cache that will write data bound for the hard drive to the SSD temporarily until a low usage point when the data will finally be written out to the mechanical hard drive.
Additionally, the kernel developers have made tweaks to the btrfs and XFS file systems. For example, XFS can create and store checksums of metadata to reduce errors and verify data integrity. Performance when using btrfs has also been slightly improved.
Driver and hardware support added to kernel 3.10 includes support for the UVD hardware found in AMD Radeon graphics cards from the 4000 series and beyond, and allows for hardware accelerated video decoding. The kernel also supports the GPU in Richland APUs and the acceleration hardware in NVIDIA's Tegra 2 and 3 SoCs. For Intel systems that use HD processor graphics, PCs will be able to wake from standby faster using the 3.10 kernel. There is also support for ARM's big.LITTLE processors, the IR receiver that Apple uses in its Mac computers, and other new and improved drivers with the latest kernel.
On the networking side of things, kernel 3.10 implements the Tail Loss Probe algorithm which makes improvements to the TCP networking stack and how it deals with lost packets. The new kernel networking stack tweaks reportedly result in up to a 15% reduction in packet retransmission timeouts and 6% shorter HTTP response times.
Aside from these larger changes, kernel 3.10 has a great deal of under-the-hood fixes. For all the nitty-gritty geeky details, the H-Online has put together a detailed breakdown of all the tweaks and new features baked into the latest 3.10 Linux kernel.

Linux-Powered SFF MintBox 2 Coming Soon for $600
Subject: General Tech | June 29, 2013 - 02:22 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, mintbox 2, mintbox, linux mint, linux
Last year, CompuLabs and the developers behind the Linux Mint operating system put together a small form factor PC called the MintBox. It seems that the project was successful enough to warrant a updated offering, because specifications were recently posted online for the MintBox 2. The MintBox 2 is a router sized, passively cooled PC that will be available later this year for $600.
The new MintBox 2 reportedly offers up to four-times the performance of the original MintBox Pro. Internal specifications will include an Intel Core i5 3337U processor clocked at 1.8GHz base (2.7GHz max turbo), 4GB of RAM (8GB max), a 500GB mechanical hard drive, and a NIC with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. The fan-less system is tiny, at 7.5" x 6.3 " x 1.57" (19 x 16 x 4cm). It will be available on Amazon for $599.
Where the original MintBox Basic and MintBox Pro scored 1,077 and 1,615 in the Geekbench benchmark, the upcoming MintBox 2 scored 7,541. In addition to the extra performance, CompuLabs is also extending the warranty period from 1 year on the original MintBox PCs to 5 years for the MintBox 2.
The MintBox 2 will come pre-installed with the latest Linux Mint 15 "Olivia" operating system.
A small Linux Mint logo is surrounded by four USB 2.0 ports on the front of the device. Exact rear IO specificaitons has not yet been released, but if last year's model is any indication, users can expect more USB 2.0 ports, a couple of USB 3.0 ports, eSATA, digital display outputs, and an eSATA port.
More information can be found on the Linux Mint blog.
Haswell on Linux is off to a great start
Subject: General Tech | June 24, 2013 - 12:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: haswell, linux
With the initial difficulties seen with Linux crossing Intel's Bridges it is nice to see decent compatibility from Haswell at launch. While the GPU side does lag somewhat behind the performance offered by the Windows driver it is nowhere near as far behind as in the previous architectures. For raw CPU calculations it is running at peak performance on newer Linux kernels, offering not only a decent upgrade but significantly improved power efficiency. Phoronix have gathered their various reviews to give you a look at the current overall compatibility of Haswell as well as performance results in their latest post.
"Since the Computex launch of Intel's much anticipated Haswell processors at the beginning of the month, there's been much Linux coverage on Phoronix concerning the compatibility and performance of these new Intel processors from both the processing and graphics sides. Here's a summary of all of our discoveries and findings over the past few weeks."

How well does Haswell do Ubuntu?
Subject: General Tech | June 5, 2013 - 01:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, haswell, ubuntu 13.04, i7-4770k
The story is familiar as you can quickly see from this quote in Phoronix's review of Haswell on Linux, "Polished Haswell support coming to an "out of the box" Linux desktop won't really be there until later in H2'2013." However that does not mean it does not work at all, they tested several kernels and versions to find the most stable way to run Haswell and to take advantage of the internal GPU. They successfully tested with Linux 3.10 kernel, Mesa 9.2, GCC 4.8.1, and LLVM 3.3 and found performance improvements across the board when compared to Ivy Bridge processors which could be a good reason to consider holding out on an Ivy Bridge CPU as an upgrade choice, as Intel is working to improve Haswell support and it is a much improved CPU compared to previous generations.
"This past weekend I shared the first experiences of running Intel's new Haswell CPU on Linux. While Intel Haswell is a beast and brings many new features and innovations to the new Core CPUs succeeding Ivy Bridge, there were a few shortcomings with the initial Linux support. It still appears that the Core i7 4770K is still being finicky at times for both the processor and graphics, but in this article are the first benchmarks. Up today are benchmarks of the Intel Core i7 4770K when running Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.10 kernel."

Revisting support the HD4000 graphics core on Ubuntu
Subject: General Tech | June 3, 2013 - 02:51 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sandy bridge, Ivy Bridge, linux, ubuntu 13.04
The news might be heavily slanted towards Haswell right now but for Linux users improvements to Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge GPU drivers are still a major focus. As there have been updates to the drivers as well as to Ubuntu, Phoronix felt it was time to revisit the performance metrics of the graphics on a Core i3 3217U. While they did see improvements when you compare it to previous driver versions it seems that there is still some work to do as the performance still lags behind the Win7 driver.
"After yesterday's Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Linux graphics comparison using the very latest Intel Linux graphics driver, here are new benchmarks using the latest Windows and Linux Intel OpenGL graphics driver. Facing competition this morning is Microsoft Windows 7 Pro x64 and Ubuntu 13.04 with its updated open-source stack."

Ubuntu bug #1 closed with a sense of humour
Subject: General Tech | May 30, 2013 - 02:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ubuntu, linux, microsoft
The first bug reported about Ubuntu has been closed, it was titled "Microsoft has a majority market share" and could be easily reproduced.
"1. Visit a local PC store
2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software"
The bug has now been updated to "Fix Released", thanks to the fact that the definition of computer has greatly increased in breadth over the past few years. Smartphones are running predominantly non-Microsoft OSes and the availability of iOS and Android tablets have really turned the market in a new direction. Now it is possible to pick up a computer that is good enough for casual usage which has no Microsoft software installed whatsoever. Finding white box laptops with no installed OS is still uncommon but nowhere near as rare as it once was. Slashdot links to his full post here.
"Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu fame has closed the primal bug on Launchpad, standing since 2004 and titled 'Microsoft has a majority market share,' due to the 'changing realities' of tablets, smartphones, and wearable computing."

i love it one tube has lasted me like 2 years and it always gets rid of my pimples sometimes it takes a couple of days. All in all its a luxurious alternative to something like clean and clear which i refuse to use because I am somewhat of a product snob. Worth a try.

This stuff works very well to get rid of the occaisional pimple overnight, BUT there's a catch. You have to catch the zit in its' beginning stages in order for Counter-Blemish to work its' magic. Once the whitehead stage hits, Counter-Blemish is pretty useless.

Sun., Oct. 21, 2012, 8:56 a.m.
Holes in the weekend are easily filled
For a Saturday without the Cougars and a Sunday without the Seahawks, there sure seems to be a lot going on this weekend. Read on.
• No matter how much you root for the Eastern Eagles (left), I'm sure you would love to see a blowout once in a while. Couldn't Beau Baldwin's team just hang 50 on somebody, give the third-string left guard a chance to play and let you Eagle fans' heart have a rest? Doesn't seem to be their MO, does it? Once again Saturday the No. 1-ranked Eagles played a game that came down to the final play. And that final play went their way, the case in all but one game this season. If Eastern keeps winning, everyone in Cheney will be just fine. But if the final score is just a few points different one of these days, I'm sure there will be grumbling about lost opportunities against inferior foes. Living on the edge will do that to you.
• Because I was making a guest appearance on the radio last week, I had to pick three college games. I was iffy on a couple of my picks, choosing Stanford to win the Big Game on the road (the Cardinal won and covered) and Miami to lose close to rival Florida State at home (the Hurricanes rewarded my faith). But there was one game I was sure about. Taking Louisiana Tech and giving the 30.5 points. After all, the Bulldogs, with the highest scoring offense in college football, were at home and they were playing Idaho (pictured). The poor Vandals are just not very good this season and all the uncertainty surrounding their future certainly isn't helping. I'm not sure why the powers that be in Moscow don't understand they are ensure more sad seasons like this one with the misguided notion of remaining in the FBS. The next two independent seasons will be just as tough as this one (if not tougher) but the real shame is the hole they will bury the Vandals in. It's sort of like those commercials. With such an uncertain future, the recruiting is going to dry up. When recruiting dries up, the losses mount. When the losses mount, the support disappears. When the support disappears, the program devolves into such a state it takes years to rise again. So ensure their future. Move to the Big Sky. If not, there could easily be a long, cold football winter in Moscow for a while.
• Washington State: The football practice was relaxed and short, which probably made Christian Caple's day a bit nicer. Though an incident over night concerning basketball transfer Brett Kingma made it a bit tougher. Christian has this post on the football practice and this one on Kingma's arrest (it's also part of this news summary in the paper), along with his morning post. ... I had to link this story from the Bay Area just because it's more whining about the Big Game being played in October. Remember these salient facts: The Pac-12 title game took away the first week of December this season; Stanford and Cal turned down a chance to play the game Thanksgiving weekend, when everyone else is playing their rivalry game; playing it this weekend was the least disruptive for the other 10 schools in the conference. ... We learned a few things in the conference this weekend. ... One last link. Former Shadle Park High and WSU quarterback Mark Rypien turned 50 this year (makes you feel old, doesn't it?) and did what a lot of 50-year-olds do: tried to make the Champions golf tour. Rypien came up a bit short in qualifying.
• Gonzaga: Yep, basketball season is getting closer. The Zags took the court Saturday to entertain their fans and will play an exhibition next weekend. Jim Meehan was at Saturday's event and has this story.
• EWU: No one seems too bothered by the close nature of Eastern's wins, as Jim Allen's story relates, so we won't be either. And, as John Blanchette's column relates, no one seems too bothered about using two quarterbacks either, so we won't be. ... We also can pass along Tyler Tjomsland's pictures. ...

The agreement "gives Toll four years of certainty of no industrial action and four years of certainty about our cost base," Toll said in a statement late Tuesday.
The announcement confirms the breakthrough claimed on Tuesday by the TWU after Toll employees last week approved taking legally protected industrial action in support of an improved offer.
The accord involves a 2 per cent increase in wages on July 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014, a 3 per cent increase in 2014-15, a 4 per cent increase in 2015-16 and a 4 per cent increase in 2016-17, Toll said.
Superannuation contributions will be paid at 12.25 per cent for 2013-14, and maintained at 3 per cent above the statutory rates in the following three years to a cap of 15 per cent.
Toll said the deal would reduce the gap between what it pays in superannuation compared to what its competitors pay.
The company also pledged to review more than 100 local agreements that could deliver a further 0.25 per cent increase in 2016-17.
Toll and TWU also set up an internal procedure to resolve disputes on a trial basis for three years, which Toll said it hopes "will reduce the incidence of disputes and enable us to deal with them more efficiently when they arise."
Toll encourage its employees to accept the EBA, which would cover about 10,000 employees and is likely to set a benchmark for new agreements at other major road transport companies.
