About us
L19 Project
Haplogroup E-L19
Our group of Genetic Genealogists is dedicated to identifying our common heritage and rapid migratory pattern during the period of the expansion of the Roman Empire into the Iberian Peninsula, Germania Superior/Italy and the Peak District, England which generated a genetic cluster in the larger E Haplogroup; the E1b1b1b* A. Our group actively uses both traditional and genetic genealogy in the endeavor to understand this genetic cluster, however it is genetics that has brought us together and has given us our connections. Many of our members are vigorously pursuing their roots in each of our geographic centers with the hope of discovering ancestral paths to our common ancestors.
We utilize FamilyTreeDNA for testing our haplotypes. If you are interested in joining in on this journey and you have tested with a company other than FTDNA.com, please contact one of our administrators so that we can work with you to add your haplotype to our project's website. Many within our group are active contributors to the http://www.haplozone.net community and seek to utilize phylogeny (the equivalent of Family Trees in genetics) in our endeavors. However we know that the non-genetic traditional and historical research is an equal, if not more important, part of any conclusions we make in regards to our genealogy. Ultimately, DNA provides us a direction, but traditional genealogy is the proof we seek for our relationships.
The members of our project are joined by a common SNP mutation called L-19 A. However, you do not need to know if you have this mutation to join. Simply, contact one of the group administrators and we can identify if you are at this time a good fit within our group. Subsequent testing may prove or disprove this initial assumption. Although we have a list of surnames which we currently know to have the L19-A SNP, this list is limited. So please do not let the surname list discourage you from inquiring. We also encourage you to join the E3b project at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/E3b/ if you have tested and E signifies your Haplogroup. We wish you great success in your research!

Lessons from a Former College Student
As a recent college grad, I learned a great deal in my four years away from home. For the first time, I was balancing homework with a more "robust" social schedule, trying to stay connected with old friends now in different states, keeping my parents informed but also learning about independence.
Some of these lessons I learned the easy way, while others I learned the hard way. You live, you learn, you do better next time, right?
I found that smart use of the technology I had available to me and some common sense went a long way toward making college life easier and avoiding some of the problems that confront so many new students.
So before your new college students hit the road, check out a few of the basics I gleaned outside the classroom.
1. Review your phone's data plan
Before you leave home, make sure to understand everything your cell phone plan includes; do you have unlimited talk and text, or set restrictions? Do you have nationwide calling, or will roaming charges cut your talk time short?
This was not something my family and I did, and I remember a conversation with my dad mid- October about how I was running up our cell phone bill calling my friends at schools across the country (whoops!). So do yourself, and your family, a favor and make sure you have the plan and device that's right for you before heading off to school.
2. Organization is key
You know how important it is to keep all your pictures, videos, music and contacts on your phone organized, and it's same way in your new dorm room too! My room freshman year had two outlets, and one was unreachable behind our fridge. This meant everything my roommate and I used: phone charger, lamps, curling irons, TV, computer chargers, hair dryers and microwave had to fit into one outlet. One! So we invested in surge protectors. Command hooks and Velcro tape helped consolidate wires and keep the mess contained behind our desks- out of sight, out of mind right?
We also learned ways to consolidate certain functions, like using my phone as an alarm too. You can also reduce clutter by playing music from your laptop instead of a separate set of speakers. Your dorm room won't be big enough to need the heavy duty speakers you used to rock out at home.
3. Is your campus wireless?
Before heading off to your first day of class, you'll want to find out if your campus has wireless internet access. You can usually find this information by searching "IT Services" on your school's website. I was fortunate in that my school was completely wireless, so I could jump online in class, outside in the quad, and in my dorm. This meant I could use my wireless printer and laptop without additional Ethernet cords! Plus, I could work anywhere I wanted if the library was too crowded.
If you decide to bring your own printer to school, my advice is to buy your replacement ink and paper in bulk before you leave. It will be cheaper, and you'll avoid the 2 am panic attack when you realize you're out of ink but still need to print off that term paper. I've been there. Not fun.
Hopefully, you feel more prepared to start your college experience off right. Following a few of these lessons will no doubt make sure you stay connected in college!

Social media and reality TV have quietly changed what we expect from the people with whom we do business. We get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into lives of celebrities, entrepreneurs, and politicians. It's called the "new normal," and it's why crab fishermen now have more to do with your small business than you once thought.
Your customers want to put a face to the name of your business. They want to see its raw, human side — even if that means showing them a less-than-glamorous work in progress.
You might be thinking, "Yeah, use Twitter and Facebook. I get it." Not entirely. Although text-based information is still the main driver of the internet, visual media, such as photos and videos, are quickly becoming the way people want to consume content online.
Using Viddy and Instagram
This brings us to Viddy. Think of Viddy as the video version of Twitter. The smartphone app allows you to record and share videos of up to 15 seconds with the world. General Electric is doing it. The company has posted "Viddys" of everything from its factories to short commercials. After posting each video, the company directly interacts with customers who leave comments.
And then there's Instagram. As on its now-parent site, Facebook, you can set up an account, follow, and be followed. There are plenty of ways to share photos, but at least for now, many of your customers are choosing Instagram as their platform of choice. That's probably why 40 percent of the world's top brands are on Instagram.
Instagram has more than 100 million registered users, but why use it instead of posting on Facebook? Because Instagram's filters allow you to give your images a look and feel that matches your brand. Not only that, integrating Instagram images into your social media accounts is simple. You can do all of this with fancy graphic design software, too, but Instagram is simple, free, and faster.
Companies like Tiffany use Instagram not only to show off their latest wares, but also to share other images, including ads. Tiffany's goal isn't merely to advertise its jewelry to followers. The company wants its visuals to be shared — pinned on Pinterest, retweeted on Twitter, etc. — or, in other words, go viral.
Gaining Exposure
How do you use these platforms to gain exposure for your business? Here are a few ideas.
1. Use hashtags. Just as Twitter supports hashtags, Viddy and Instagram do, too. Hashtags make it easier for users to find you. You can even use them to run a contest. For instance, the Deftones used Instagram to document its concert tour. Fans of the metal band posted 1,300 images with the hashtag #deftones, and the group gained 20,000 followers in three months. The contest winner received an autographed guitar.
2. Focus on the extraordinary. A boring video of you sitting at a desk and talking about your services isn't going to attract much attention. Your images and videos should tell a story that speaks to your customers. Maybe it's a photo of you volunteering at a community event or a short clip of a product being manufactured. You can also download free apps like Photo Collage to turn ordinary pictures into eye-catching collages to help give your business a unique online look.
3. Post frequently. As with all social media, in order to see results, you have to commit to using Viddy and Instagram. Uploading a single video or image every couple of weeks isn't going to do much to help your brand. Not sure when to post? Check out Simply Measured. There, you can generate reports showing when customer engagement is highest. You can even measure which filters generate the most activity.
4. Interact with people. Use these visual platforms as conversation starters. Encourage people to comment, and reply to customers who take the time to engage with you and your business.
If there's one thing we know about social media, it's that everything changes rapidly. These platforms may not be popular in five years, but for now, embracing Viddy and Instagram can give your business a new way to communicate with customers while making it appear modern and trendy.

Gulfstream's iconic large-cabin jets combine speed, range and comfort
Theme of perfection in private air travel is evident in past achievements and future plans.
By Grant McLaren
Gulfstream offerings include (L–R) G150, G250, G450, G550 and G650. With top speed of Mach .925 and 7000-nm range at Mach .85, G650 redefines intercontinental capability and comfort.
No other brand in the business aviation world is more iconic, recognizable or enduring than the large-cabin Gulfstream business jet. Here we are 54 years after first flight of the Gulfstream I and the brand still sets the standard for long-range, comfortable and self-sufficient global transport.
Many of the great design elements of the original Gulfstream—big elliptical windows, best in class airstairs, spacious cabin and sturdy, reliable, systems—continue on in current large-cabin product lineup. While the 7000-nm-range Gulfstream G650 represents a whole new level of global access, and a clean sheet design, the aircraft concept and design inspiration remain surprisingly familiar.
Over the years Pro Pilot has profiled operators of all Gulfstream series aircraft, in both corporate and special mission applications. The stories of these operators trace the history and development of globally-capable business aviation. In the early days some of the largest flight departments—National Distillers, American Can, Procter & Gamble, Texaco and Mobil—flocked to the $845,000 (initial price) Gulfstream I as a leap forward in travel productivity over existing $200,000 (average price) corporate Douglas DC3s.
When the Gulfstream II first flew in Oct 1966—offering transcontinental and transatlantic range with largest cabin in class—there was concern among some that there'd be no market for a $2-million corporate jet.
Soon, however, GIIs were flying the world in service of Fortune 100 flight departments, heads of state and special mission applications and the aircraft stood alone in its class for years. Not only could operators fly transatlantic nonstop for the first time but they had the cabin to do so comfortably. Many Gulfstream cabins sported unique airborne environments.
Fabergé outfitted its GII with a one-of-a-kind molded cave-like environment that included a built-in piano and walk-up bar complete with bartender and pressurized bar system. One Far East-based sultan outfitted early Gulfstreams with rare Waterfall Bubinga wood veneers, polished malachite stone surfaces and latest-generation cabin electronics.
But there was much more to the brand than range and cabin capability—these aircraft were rugged, reliable and dependable with the latest avionics, APU systems and product support—and could take executives safely to the 4 corners of the world on their own schedules.
Today, more than 60 some years after the business jet era began, we still do not have supersonic options. The market has adapted to subsonic cruise speeds but—especially at the top end—demands spacious comfortable cabins, intercontinental range with high levels of product performance and reliability. Today's Gulfstream lineup—with the G650 about to start deliveries in the 2nd quarter of this year—makes the subsonic life both productive and bearable!
Leroy Grumman's dream
Grumman G159 Gulfstream (later Gulfstream I) first flew in 1958 and offered the largest-cabin, longest-range, turbine-powered aircraft ever designed for the business aviation market.
Grumman Aircraft Engineering—the company that evolved into Grumman Aerospace in the late 1950s—was launched in 1930 with a focus on military production. Civilian models included the G21 Goose (1937), G44 Widgeon (1940) and G73 Mallard (1946) amphibians. By the mid-1950s Leroy Grumman decided to build an aircraft specifically for executive transport.
In those days Grumman operated a DC3 (a widely used corporate transport at the time) and was familiar with limitations of this aircraft. While the DC3 was sturdy, with good reputation for reliability, top speed was 160 kts, range was limited and the unpressurized cabin was not always comfortable. DC3 cabin size—as Pro Pilot Writer Clay Lacy often points out—was, however, extremely popular and an excellent template for a more capable next-generation corporate transport.
Grumman looked initially at offering a DC3 replacement by converting an existing airframe into a business transport. After canvassing prospective customers the decision was to start with a clean sheet of paper and new fuselage design. The Gulfstream was Leroy Grumman's dream of getting into the business aviation market.
He wanted to offer the market a miniature airliner with DC3-like cabin, coast-to-coast range and versatility to get in and out of shorter runways. Leroy's aircraft was named for the Gulf Stream current—swift, powerful, predictable and dependable—and that's what the Grumman Gulfstream was all about.
Over an 11-year production life 200 were sold and this set the standard for future models with comfortable 12-seat plus cabins and ability—with rugged APU, built in airstairs and rugged systems—to operate mostly independent of ground support. Success with the Gulfstream prompted Grumman to develop a jet-powered corporate aircraft—the GII.
GII development
For years the iconic Gulfstream II stood alone in the market as the largest-cabin and longest-range business aircraft option.
Initial design work began in 1960s on a jet powered Gulfstream but the original idea—putting 4 General Electric CF700s on a modified GI while retaining 20° wing sweep – was not an elegant solution. Operators wanted speed, range and power reserves and the Rolls-Royce Spey Mk 511 ultimately fit GII product design criteria well.
The GII was designed to use same runways as the GI. A modest 25° wing sweep made the aircraft faster while retaining all the comfort of the original design. Go ahead on the GII was given May 1965, first flight occurred Oct 1966 and 258 aircraft were produced.
Iconic design features
Gulfstream has introduced enduring design elements that have served the market well for decades. From the GI onward objective has always been to provide operators with rugged, well tested, engines and generous power reserves. The Rolls Royce Dart on the GI had a stellar service record of over 1 million operating hours on aircraft including the Vickers Viscount.
While 7 different engine types were considered, during the conceptual phase of the GII, the 11,400-lb-thrust Spey Mk 511, which had racked up thousands of hours on airliners and combat aircraft, won out. With substantial overhaul life of 7000 hrs the Spey is one of the most reliable turbofans ever built and has the power to take the GII to FL430 and Mach 0.85 max speed. Today's G650 takes advantage of 17,000-lb-thrust Rolls-Royce BR725s for 7000 nm range and top speed of Mach 0.925.

If Health 2.0 is about anything, it's about making health care more "commercial." So what about some kind of Consumer Reports-type guide for choosing health plans and doctors? Well, get this: the folks behind the Zagat Survey, that famous slim burgundy restaurant ratings booklet, are making a move into health care with a new online system for rating doctors in one of the nation's largest health insurers, WellPoint.
USA Today reports that instead of Zagat's four dining categories — food, décor, service and cost — members will rate doctors on Trust, Communication, Availability and Office Environment. They'll give doctors a numerical score up to 30 points, and can post comments freely. The program will be available to more than a million Wellpoint members by the end of March, and eventually to all 35 million of its members nationwide.
This is a pretty bold move for Wellpoint, when you consider how much people like to bitch online. I wonder how they will police comments from disgruntled members, which can easily besmirch physicians' reputations?
But then again, as my buddy Matthew over at The Health Care Blog (co-founder of the recent Health 2.0 Conference) reports, there's likely to be quite a bit of cynicism about using the system at all. "After all, why should anyone use a health plan site to rate doctors rather than an independent one, and for that matter is Wellpoint going to let its customers rate it (the health plan itself?)"
Also, there's already been quite some skepticism over the fact that patients aren't being asked to rate costs or quality or even medical expertise here — only some parameters of how comfortable they feel with a particular doctor — so Wellpoint and Zagat may be missing the essential point.
It seems to be clear, Matthew notes, that some sort of consumer ratings system for health care offerings is coming fast. "And plans might as well get into the game somehow, although given the lack of trust they have in the market, my guess is that an independent ratings company is more likely to succeed. And there are lots of those around. Perhaps the question is whether it'll be a guide known best for restaurants like Yelp, a general health care site which allows ratings like Revolution or Vimo, or whether a specialist one that just rates doctors like RateMDs, CareSeek, or Health World Web."
No matter who leads the pack, what we'll end up with will be something like a health care version of Amazon customer product ratings: Did these boots fit well? Would you recommend them to other people? Not completely devoid of value, but certainly not revolutionizing the way you interact with your health care plan.
A much more impactful type of scoring is hopefully on its way in the form of a personal FICO Score for your health care. The idea is to take the concept of a financial FICO score, and apply it to your overall health risks and medical standing. The better your health, the higher your score, and it would be your doctor's/health plan's job to help you raise that score. If they don't, that would be good grounds to find another doctor or health plan. Under this model, doctors and insurers would be directly accountable for the care they give, and patients would do a lot of shopping around. Obviously, for a system like this to really work, your Health FICO Score would have to be evaluated independently of your health plan. Now we're talking something really new and different!
I like the way surfer/MD/healthcare pundit Scott Shreeve puts it: "While many people talk about the concept of a healthcare tipping point, I believe we can go faster by looking at the 'crossover' between industries to learn and apply what is already known in other industries to the health care problem."
Additional thoughts on scoring your health plan or your health itself, Guys? Or do you already consider your A1c to be your default Health FICO Score with diabetes?

There are many things in my life that I love one of which is my daughter. I have her with me 50 percent of the time and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is a joy and I am very proud of her. Other things I love include cooking, film,music and sports. I'm up for about anything. I would love to hear from a woman who is like me.

I'm thoughtful and carring.
I can take a joke as well as make one.
I can lead because I know how to follow.
And I'm told I'm kinda easy on the eyes.

Wait... didnt I see a design like this the other day?
It's like the Incubus music video for "Drive."
This is great
the top arm outline for the right hand looks a little off, and it could do without ERASER being on the eraser, but I'd totally wear it. 4$
it doesn't need the colours, and personally, i think it would look a lot better if you put a lot of detail into the hands, not just a ten second job
This is the coolest idea I've seen in a while...but the hands just aren't drawn that well. If it were drawn better, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
M.C. Escher...but boring
Influenced by Thom Yorke, maybe?
Must the eraser say eraser?
nice idea but needs better rendering.
the thing that is sad about this is that the concept is now done, but the rendering leaves very much to be desired (especially since you're dealing with Escher). but now, nobody will be able to render this properly without being a thief. dammit, if the rendering was spot on to Escher's that would be the first $5 i'd give.
What everyone else says. Its actually saying "eraser" is too much, and if the hands had more definition it'd look much better. But great concept.
were you trying to rip off Escher?
are you retarded? all ideas start somewhere.
Nice idea, poorly done
M.C. Escher
The hands of "Blog" are more or less no different than mine.
What makes them so bad?
definitely the best Escher concept I've seen, better execution and this would be a definite $5 and in all likelihood a print.
canceromega on Jul 21 '06 said, "Influenced by Thom Yorke, maybe?"
Thom York? who the hell is that?
Thom York is Radiohead's front man.
I agree with all of the comments about the hands tho. it's a great concept but the hands are a bit crude. i think it's the fingernails.
OMg YES! $5
Bloody awesome concept! $5
The "Eraser" written on the eraser is incredibly unnecessary. Otherwise this is awesome. $4
I like it on the light blue $5
It's an ok concept. someone else on threadless did an escher sort, and executed it much better.
look at the wrist of the hand holding the eraser..
yep.. sorry. It screams Escher...
And the Escher is much prettier
To the 3 or 4 people that still seem confused, it's supposed to scream Escher. He's being clever and editing the classic Escher drawing. That being said, I agree with the folks above 'bout the rendering and all.
i like it on this tan color
Duh ya'll...it's SUPPOSED to scream Escher. It's a modern COMMENT on the Escher version.
The only thing hurting this design is that the linework is a tad sloppy...tighten it up, and you've got perfection.
Outline. I don't like the coloured-in look.
That pinkie on the pencil hand is akward. i don't know if I like this.
The top wrist looks broken - like there's a bone trying to poke through the skin.
I totally agree with everyone about the concept being really cool, but that it needs to look like a detailed sketch (like the original Escher design)

A drugged out Kelly was videotaped struggling to rap along with music playing through speakers in a room where several seemingly drugged out people hung out.
A video reportedly taken hours before Chris Kelly passed away has surfaced online. Obtained by TMZ, the clip which was shot in the rapper's Atlanta home around 7 A.M. on May 1 gives a look at one of the final moments leading to his death.
Seemingly drugged out, the member of rap duo Kris Kross attempted to rap and spit out lyrics to music heard playing through speakers. According to the site, the song which Kelly had been working on includes the lyric, "We don't stop, for nothing or nobody ... look around you it's full of dead bodies."
Hours after the event in the video, Kelly was found unresponsive in his home and was transported to Atlanta Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy on the 34-year-old rapper was completed on Thursday, showing no signs of foul play or trauma.
Cpl. Kay Lester said, "It appears it may have been a possible drug overdose," but the cause of death will only be determined when his toxicology reports come in the next 3 or 4 weeks. Kelly's mother told the investigators that her son took a mixture of heroin and cocaine the night before his death.

In this section
There is ample documentary evidence of the existence of a church of St. Helen, on or near the present site, in the 12th century, but it has been generally assumed that this building was entirely removed about the time of the foundation of the priory. A close study of the plan of the existing building reveals, however, the significant fact that the existing south doorway, together with the earlier one which it replaced, is set unusually far east, being indeed about the middle of the south wall. This easterly position of the south doorway is in itself presumptive evidence of a lengthening of the nave westwards, and that the earlier nave terminated a short distance to the west of the doorway, which would thus assume its normal position. Now the ordinary proportions of a 12th-century parish nave are roughly two squares, that is to say, the length is double the width; the position of the division between the nave and chancel is, for various sufficient reasons, (fn. 1) very seldom altered, so that by setting out two squares from the existing screen the approximate position of the early west end should be arrived at. This setting out marks a point in the Spencer monument (in the south wall), and the same point is marked externally by the only buttress on the south wall. The logical conclusion is that this buttress was added by the 13thcentury builders to mask the junction of the earlier work with their extension, as otherwise the buttress is meaningless.
The reconstruction in the early years of the 13th century appears to have begun with the nuns' quire, as indicated by the small lancet window in the north wall, which is of early 13th-century type, and to have been followed by the parish nave and chancel and the south transept, lancet windows, of about the second quarter of the century, still remaining in the south transept and nave. About 1300 the western of the two arches, between the nuns' quire and the parish chancel, was inserted, and shortly afterwards the west doorway of the parish nave was built; these appear to be now the only structural evidences of the extensive rebuilding mentioned in the will of Thomas of Basing (ante p. 4).
Before 1363 Adam Francis appears to have built (ante p. 6) the two chapels (of the Holy Ghost and St. Mary) east of the south transept, together with the arcade opening into them. Early in the 15th century the eastern arch between the nuns' quire and the parish chancel was inserted. The nave arcade was built and other alterations carried out about 1470–75. For certain of the works provision was made in the will of Nicholas Marshall, ironmonger, 1472, (fn. 2) and others were due to a bequest of 500 marks made by Sir John Crosby in 1475, and the character of the existing work agrees well with this attribution. To Crosby also must be assigned the two arches on the south of the parish chancel (one of which spans his tomb), (fn. 3) the mouldings and other details being the same as those of the nave arcade. The west doorway of the nuns' quire and the doorway to the night stairs from the dorter are both late 15th-century insertions or reconstructions, and to the early years of the succeeding century belong the north clearstory windows of the nuns' quire, and the three windows on the south side of the parish nave. The two large west windows of the church are possibly due to the restoration of 1632, and the two main east windows appear also to have been reconstructed at the same time; they survived until they were "restored" to their present form in the last century. Perhaps early in the 17th century the south window of the transept was inserted, and in 1633 the south doorway of the nave was built.
The various modern restorations of the church have been already dealt with and it will be unnecessary to recapitulate them here.
Architectural Description
The Nuns' Quire is a simple rectangular building 119½ feet long by 26½ feet wide. The large five-light east window dates entirely from 1888, when it took the place of a window of five-pointed lights in a pointed head, shewn on old engravings, and probably of 17th-century date. In the north wall there are nine windows, of which the four to the east are modern and are set very high in the wall. The next four windows further west are at a rather lower level, but set sufficiently high to be above the level of the roof of the former cloister; they are of early 16th-century date and are each of three plain pointed lights in a segmental-pointed head; externally they have been much restored. The westernmost window is an early 13th-century lancet light, with wide internal splays and much restored. Remains of the external sills of three similar windows are visible further east. In the lower part of this wall is a series of squints and doorways, all connected with the now destroyed monastic buildings which adjoined the church on the north. Taking these in succession from east to west, the first is an elaborate squint formerly opening into the eastern part of the sacristy (see Monument 5). Immediately west of this is the east jamb of a blocked doorway formerly opening into the west sacristy. It is not now visible externally, the wall arch containing it being blocked with brickwork. Farther west is a second squint, probably of late 15th or early 16th-century date, and of two squareheaded openings with traces of the mortices for an iron grille. It is set externally in a recess with a segmental-pointed head. The early 13th-century doorway further west is of two continuous chamfered orders with a twocentred head. It is now blocked, but formerly opened into the west part of the sacristy, and must have served as the eastern processional entrance to the church. A third squint of uncertain date is rectangular with chamfered reveals and has traces of the fixing of a former grille. Higher up in the wall and below the third window from the east is a small square opening which must have communicated with the building above the sacristy. Below the fifth window from the east is a staircase in the wall; enclosed externally in a brick projection, and probably used as the night stairs from the dorter. The doorway into the church is of late 16th-century date, and has moulded jambs and a four-centred head; two iron door-pins remain in the west jamb. Below the westernmost window in the north wall is a four-centred relieving arch, marking the position of the western processional entrance from the cloister.
In the south wall of the nuns' quire are two arched openings into the parish chancel and four into the nave. The easternmost arch is of early 15th-century date, four-centred and moulded; the east respond has an attached shaft with a moulded capital carrying the inner member of the archivolt; the west respond has a similar shaft cut short by a modern corbel and a second shaft on the north side. The second arch is of early 14th-century date; it is two-centred, and of two chamfered orders, with a moulded label on each face; the responds have each an attached shaft with a moulded capital and base. Above the west haunch of the eastern arch are traces of the jambs and segmental head of a clerestory window, probably of early 15th-century date. The late 15th-century nave arcade is of four bays with two-centred and moulded arches; the columns have each four attached shafts, divided by wave mouldings and having moulded capitals and bases, raised on tall plinths. The responds have attached half columns. In the west wall of the nuns' church is a five-light window of 16th or early 17thcentury character; the stonework, however, is modern, but the form of the window reproduces the earlier work except for the added transom. The late 15th or early 16th-century west doorway has a four-centred arch in a square head with a moulded label and quatrefoiled spandrels; the arch, spandrels, and perhaps part of the jambs are original, but the rest is modern restoration.
The Parish Chancel is 42½ feet long by 22½ feet, and is not structurally divided from the nave. The modern east window is in place of a 16th or 17th-century window of seven lights in a depressed head, removed at the restoration of 1888. On the south side are two late 15th-century arches opening into the chapels and transept. The eastern is two-centred and the western four-centred, and both correspond in detail to the arches of the nave arcade.
The Parish Nave is 77 feet by 22½ feet, and has in the south wall at the east end a blocked lancet window of mid 13th-century date, now largely concealed by the pulpit. Further west are three early 16th-century windows, each of three pointed lights in a segmental pointed head, and having moulded internal reveals. The sill of the middle window is kept high to clear the south doorway. This doorway was inserted or rebuilt in 1633, and is an interesting if somewhat coarse example of Renaissance work. The opening has moulded imposts and a round arch with an architrave moulding and three key blocks; surrounding it is an "eared" architrave with rusticated pilasters supporting the ears, and surmounted by a frieze, cornice, and pediment. The tympanum encloses a carved cherub-head, and the middle part of the frieze is brought forward as a panel and inscribed in large Roman capitals LAVS DEO S HELENA. On the key blocks is inscribed REPd 1633. To the east of this doorway are traces of an earlier doorway, visible externally. Below the westernmost window in the south wall is a modern doorway opening into the modern vestries. In the west wall of the nave is a window of five lights and of 16th or early 17th-century type, but completely restored on the old lines. Below it is a much-restored 14th-century doorway with a moulded two-centred arch and label; the jambs have each an attached shaft with a moulded capital and base.
The South Transept is 26½ feet by 22 feet, and has a late 14th-century arcade of two bays in the east wall. The two-centred and deeply moulded arches spring from a column having four attached shafts with moulded capitals and bases, and divided by hollow chamfers. The responds have attached half columns. Above the arcade is a modern timber clerestory. In the south wall is a large Jacobean Gothic window of three cinquefoiled lights with tracery in a two-centred head. The upper part of the wall is cut back and has probably been rebuilt; in it is a small restored window, cut across by the modern boarding of the roof. In the south-east angle is a small doorway of doubtful date, with a pointed head and opening into a stair turret communicating with the leads of the roof. In the west wall are two blocked lancet windows of mid 13th-century date; the northern is open internally to the face of the jambs, but the southern is entirely blocked.
The Chapel Aisle is 16¾ feet wide and contains the two chapels of the Holy Ghost and St. Mary. In the east wall are two almost entirely modern windows, of 14th-century character, and each of three cinquefoiled lights with tracery in a two-centred head. In the south wall are two equally restored windows, also of 14th-century character, and each of two cinquefoiled lights, with an octofoil in a two-centred head; they are enclosed under a 14th-century wall arcade with two-centred, moulded arches, resting on attached shafts with moulded capitals and bases, standing on a stone base and all much restored.
The Roofs throughout the building are of timber. Those over the nuns' church and the main parish church are of flat pitch with the purlins resting immediately on the tie-beams. In form, and no doubt partly in structure, they are of late 15th-century date, but have been frequently repaired during the numerous restorations. The tie-beams are moulded and have curved brackets or braces under the ends. The timber bell-turret, standing over the middle of the west front, is of late 17th or early 18th-century date. It is square, and has a segmental-headed, louvred opening in each face, a cornice and an ogee-shaped roof, covered with lead, and supporting a small lantern with a round-headed opening in each face; this is also finished with a cornice and ogee-shaped roof supporting a ball and vane.
The Ritual Arrangements of the nuns' quire, previous to the dissolution of the priory, must be briefly considered. The position of the various squints and doorways in the north wall is sufficient evidence that the nuns' stalls must have been placed to the west of the doorway from the night stairs. The existing stalls (now removed to the parish quire) occupy a length of 21 feet on the north side, and to this must be added an allowance for the returned stalls at the west end, and possibly for others which have been destroyed. This leaves at the west end a space of some 25 to 30 feet in length forming the retro-quire or ante-chapel. These main divisions are referred to in the will of Nicholas Marshall, already quoted, (fn. 4) as the "quere" and "rere-quere." The pre-Reformation altars and images in the church included the chapels of the Holy Ghost and St. Mary founded by Adam Frauncys, (fn. 5) the chapel of St. Katherine and St. Margaret, (fn. 6) the image of St. Helen (fn. 7) on the north of the nuns' quire, the light on the "beam" and the "lights de la Pité," (fn. 8) and the Trinity. (fn. 9)

Competitive Soccer is for players ages 7-19. Competitive Soccer includes teams that are formed based on player evaluations.
{ · Extreme Futbal Academy (EFA). EFA is considered more advanced training and requires a larger commitment by players who want to train for up to nine months out of the year and travel to 4 large overnight metro tournaments. Practices are 2 to 3 times per week in the spring and summer and once a week in the winter. Registration fees do not include travel expenses which may include lodging, meals and transportation costs.
Competitive Player Evaluations Explained
1. Initial player fee is $125 and is required for player evaluations (which start in late summer each year)
2. After player evaluations coaches will place players on teams and fill team rosters. If a team roster is filled up, unplaced players keep their Player Pass privileges and may be called to play at a tournament or game. (A Player Pass also allows a player to train with a team during the season and/or to guest play for other BYS teams or other teams in Minnesota at the player's age and competitive level.)
3. Coaches will contact players and invite them to join the team they've been placed on.
4. If a player accepts the invitation, the players/parents are billed for the registration fee associated with their team roster.
5. Coaches for each team will then communicate the training and tournament schedule throughout the season.
6. A "Late" registration is for Players who miss the Evaluation and Team Selection period. These players could be subject to a $50 late fee unless they are a new player to BYS soccer. Parents must contact the registrar to get the player registered. If a team still has open spots, the player will receive an invitation to a team. If a player accepts the invitation, the players/parents are billed for the registration fee associated with their team roster.
Families who qualify for free or reduced school lunch may request financial aid for up to 50% off registration fees. ***Deadline is December 31st, 2016***

Paris Hilton doesn't know what "contract" means
Apparently, Paris Hilton has been walking around telling people that she still doesn't know who her co-star will be in the new season of The Simple Life, despite it being abundantly clear that Nicole Richie is contractually obligated to take up the unenviable role. Meanwhile, as Paris Hilton traipses around Brazil with her pants on fire (possibly hanging from a telephone wire), Simple Life producers are trying to think of ways to get Hilton and Richie to appear together on camera.
Quite frankly, I don't know what the problem is. Just tell Paris that she's starring in the damn show alone, and then get Nicole to shuffle around sideways so that Paris doesn't see her. Or fold Nicole up and put her in Paris' purse. Or make Nicole lose a few more pounds, throw some mismatched designer rags on her, and tell Paris her new partner is Allegra Beck. It's not like the Hilton girl has a degree in noticing things.
Oh, and the article also mentions how Paris was eyeing Gisele Bundchen's ex-boyfriend because: a) God blessed her with an inordinate Gwyneth Paltow-level sense of entitlement, and she thinks she can follow Gisele; and b) she doesn't realize that her fiance's shipping tycoon/war profiteering/arms dealing/rich, rich, rich family could kill her as covertly or as noisily as they want, and nobody would notice or care.

Get a second opinion. My friend was diagnosed about 60 days ago. His first doctor said it was inoperable and chemo and paliative care was his only option. Through this site I found Dr. Selby and USC/Keck and Dr. Selby said it was absolutely operable and he operated. Today my friend has no "visually detectable" cancer. They are giving him one round of followup chemo, just to be cautious, but there is no sign of cancer. For a doctor to say "inoperable," and not to even suggest the patient get a second opinion, is so wrong--and it happens all the time apparently. That has been my biggest surprise throughout my friend's experience. Needless to say, get anogther opinion, particularly with an oncologist and a surgeon who see lots of CC patients. It is a fairly exotic, and some doctors simply have more understanding, resources and options than others.

Questions surround trail grant
Project has funding but still lacks plan.
Published Monday, August 22, 2005
Columbia is guaranteed $25 million in federal funds to build bicycle and pedestrian trails, but when that money will show up, how it will be used and how it will be distributed remains a mystery to city officials.
The city was selected earlier this year for a pilot project aimed at coaxing drivers to give up their cars and use trails to travel. Since the measure was passed by Congress earlier this month as part of a $286.4 billion transportation bill, little information has flowed to local officials.
There are no specific plans for the money. The city's planning department has not yet tried to map areas where the trails would work best. City administrators say they're unsure whether the money will be doled out by the Missouri Department of Transportation or by federal highway officials.
"It remains to be seen what we have to do from here," said Tim Teddy, the city's planning director. "We're waiting to see but, unfortunately, information is slow in coming."
Work to secure the funding for Columbia began just weeks before lawmakers passed the massive transportation bill.
Marianne Fowler, vice president of policy for Washington, D.C.-based trail advocacy group Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, said she contacted Mayor Darwin Hindman after her group identified Columbia as one of 12 cities where the pilot project could work. Hindman then took the recommendation to Sen. Kit Bond, a Missouri Republican who is chairman of the Senate Environment Committee's Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee.
Bond helped secure the trails money for Columbia. Three other areas - the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Sheboygan County, Wis., and Marin County, Calif. - also will receive $25 million for the project.
Shana Stribling, a spokeswoman for Bond, said the senator was "on board" with including Columbia in the project immediately after meeting with Hindman.
"Columbia has had a reputation for its work" creating and promoting trails, said Stribling, citing the MKT and Katy trails projects. "It was ahead of the pack."
Funding for the project will come from the Federal Highway Administration, an arm of the U.S. Department of Transportation. For the Columbia project, the money will be doled out through MoDOT.
Hindman, an outspoken proponent of trails, said he submitted to federal highway officials portions of long-term plans from the city's Parks and Recreation, Public Works and planning departments. Specific plans for the trails were not required, he said.
The city must complete reports in 2007 and 2010 showing how the federal money has been used, he said.
"We're going to have to show what the situation is now," said the mayor, "and then we're going to show what we're going to build."
The Columbia City Council will ultimately decide how to spend the money, with oversight from state and federal transportation officials. A residents committee will be formed to advise the council on its decisions.
Aside from the health benefits of walking or bicycling that the trails project could bring, Hindman said, it could provide an economic boost.
"I'm constantly finding out what people like about Columbia," he said. "Over and over and over again, … one of the things people say is the trails. When we are able to get our trails interconnected within all the neighborhoods, that's going to be one of the best economic development tools we've ever had."

Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass) is an annual or biennial grass (family Poaceae) found throughout California except in the Great Basin and deserts. Italian ryegrass prefers areas with fertile, well-drained soils, including roadsides, fields, orchards and vineyards. It readily hybridizes with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), and hybrids may exhibit a range of characteristics from both species. Italian ryegrass is commonly cultivated for erosion control, pasture forage, and turf, but has escaped cultivation in many areas. Italian ryegrass is currently very widespread.

Chrysler created an entire new category—the minivan—when the first Dodge Caravan debuted back in 1984. Since then, it has provided buyers with an entirely practical blend of utility and comfort.
The current Grand Caravan builds on the foundations laid by its ancestor and offers buyers a compelling choice in the hotly contested minivan segment. A 3.6-liter V6 is a vast improvement over past engine offerings—good for a solid 283 horsepower, it also returns a commendable 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
The Grand Caravan also boasts a long list of standard equipment with features such as a power rear lift-gate, power adjustable pedals, dual power sliding side doors, Bluetooth, a back up camera, a satellite radio, and tri-zone climate control.

Official Trailer for Kaitlin McLaughlin's Indie Thriller 'Hostile Border'
by Alex Billington
February 26, 2016
Source: Apple
"Are you, or aren't you a criminal? There is no in between." Samuel Goldwyn Films has released a trailer for the indie thriller Hostile Border, co-directed by Michael Dwyer & Kaitlin McLaughlin. Veronica Sixtos stars as Pocha, a crafty undocumented immigrant living in the US who is sent back to Mexico, but struggles to cope on the other side of the border. The full cast includes Roberto Urbina, Julio Cedillo, Jorge A. Jimenez, Jesse Garcia and Maria del Carmen Farias. This film was originally titled Pocha: Manifest Destiny at the Los Angeles Film Festival before being renamed to Hostile Border, described as a slow burning crime thriller mixed with a western. This actually looks better than you're probably expecting.
Here's the official trailer for Michael Dwyer & Kaitlin McLaughlin's Hostile Border, in high def on Apple:
Raised in the U.S., Claudia (22) is an undocumented immigrant living beyond her means in a twisted version of the American dream. When she's arrested by the FBI for credit card fraud, Claudia is quickly deported to México. Speaking no Spanish and lost in her foreign "homeland," she reluctantly takes refuge at her estranged father's cattle ranch. As she clashes with her unyielding father, her attempts to return home to the U.S. thrust her into a dangerous bond with a foreign smuggler, Ricky. Caught between her father's sermons, Ricky's promises, and the encroaching military, Claudia must navigate a tightrope of impossible choices. Hostile Border is co-directed by Michael Dwyer & Kaitlin McLaughlin, from a script by Kaitlin McLaughlin. Samuel Goldwyn will release Hostile Border in theaters + on VOD starting April 15th.

It's an extraordinary moment in my lifetime because I agree with Chase Williams ("Protect Phoenix from lobbyist control," Aug. 24, AFN). Greg Stanton is an honorable man, who helped me save Desert Foothills Park from being over-run by condominiums (along with, of course, former AFN reporter Doug Murphy, who published the blow-by-blow fight).
So I also urge a vote for Stanton for mayor.
Get out and vote!

Ever had one of those Saturday mornings when you wake up after a long night and just need a solid breakfast, like something with bacon, eggs, cinnamon rolls maybe? With a giant Bloody Mary on the side? Me too. It turns out Dirty Oscar's Annex's newly launched breakfast menu is just for people like us.
The Toad in the Hole ($9) – last weekend's fan favorite, according to Chef Aaron Grissom – combines all that is good about that first meal of the day: a giant, freshly made cinnamon roll baked in-house, Jack Daniels caramel sauce, a poached egg in the center, all topped with thick-cut bacon. As if it needed anything else, it is served with crispy hash browns.
Another highlight on the new menu is the vegan hash ($9), featuring a healthy serving of winter squash, asparagus, mushrooms, shallots, tomatoes, red bell peppers and home fries, served up with toast on the side. The lone vegan dish on the menu will not disappoint, and most likely, health conscious, non-vegans will be impressed, as well.
Grissom's new menu retains D.O.A. classics such as the Cap'N Crunch French toast concoction (thick-sliced sourdough French bread dipped in cinnamon, nutmeg egg batter and crusted with the delicious cereal, grilled until golden brown and served with marionberry whipped cream and blackberry coulis) and fried chicken and waffle, while also adding some unexpected options.
My favorite on the menu is Grissom's version of bagel and lox. Although it is not something I would naturally gravitate toward on a breakfast menu, the combination of lemon zest mascarpone with pickled red onion and caper berries was too much to resist. The fresh baked bagel with the subtle hint of lemon along with smoked salmon is a lethal combination. In a very good way. The lox and bagel runs $10, which is about the average price point on the menu. When you consider that most dishes are shareable, that is not a bad deal.
"I really want to offer the best breakfast in Tacoma – that's my goal," Grissom said. "We're still just trying to elevate standard bar food that's out there, but now we're bringing that idea to breakfast."
A couple of new drinks on the menu – not that anyone is condoning day-drinking, of course – are pretty unique, as well. The Moonshine Mimosa features muddled lemon, moonshine and club soda to give it that kick of the bubbly, and orange juice. There is no better way to start your day.
Dirty Oscar's Annex, located at 2309 6th Ave., offers breakfast 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
